Mandatory Romance Reading
I just finished this book and I'm breathless. My eyes are liquid pools because this book was authentic. It felt real. Consequential. These two lovers, Sam and Akira, had everything on the line. But let's back up.
Sam - he is so meticulous. So precise. Everything has a place and there's a place for everything. To say he is straight laced is imprecise. Laces are too flexible. Sam is not when we meet him. And then Akira burst into his world and his organized world explodes.
Akira - a bright eyed, intelligent, exquisite girl from India. She's come to New York to get her Master's Degree so she can work to bring open spaces that are functional. As her father has said to her, if she does meet someone, it isn't to be someone who is a BMW:
Black
Muslim
White
Sam and Akira end up being design partners. As they are put in situations, their attraction to each other becomes more and more apparent.
Sam is so sexy. He treats Akira like a princess. OK, maybe he has a bumble. But he is so very attentive to her, what she needs, what is going on with her, what the consequences of their relationship are having on her.
Akira is like one of those paint spyrographs that exploded and spread joyful color. She is effervescent and ready to take on the world. And then Sam walks in and shakes up her world and more and more she wants to run her hands through his hair and mess it up. But her family will never accept Sam. He's white. American. Outside their Country, their race, their religion, their caste. Can their love, their belief in their love change the mind of the most important member of the family - Akira's father?
I beg you. I implore you to read this book. I was on pins and needles reading it.
What are you doing? Go! Read!
