My Summary:

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for The Love Lyric. Thanks #NetGalley @BerkleyPub for a complimentary eARC of #TheLoveLyric upon my request. All opinions are my own.

Iris Greene is a single mom and the director of partnerships at a beauty company. She has a fulfilling job and loves her daughter but she’s a bit lonely as well. At her sister’s wedding she crossed paths with a popular R&B singer, Angel. Today, it turns out that Angel is the new ambassador for the Save Face Beauty campaign. He’s delighted to see Iris who is the sister of his stylist. Iris is surprised that she’s been put in charge of the logistics for the campaign and will accompany him. Angel remembers his attraction to Iris from the wedding. The challenge for both of them will be to remain professional despite the chemistry between them.

My Thoughts:

Tropes

Fans of “forced proximity” and “single mom/celebrity romance” might especially enjoy The Love Lyric. Forced proximity seems to provide opportunities for fun banter and interesting circumstances.

Romantic Gesture

Has anyone written a song for you? One romantic gesture in the story is when Angel writes a song for Iris. Will she be able to resist that?!

Sisters

If you love stories of sisters, you might want to try the Greene Sisters series by Kristina Forest. Each installment focuses on one sister and each can be read as a stand-alone. I love the support and encouragement they extend to each other.

Content Consideration: some open door romance

Recommending The Love Lyric:

I’m recommending The Love Lyric for fans of Kristina Forest and her Greene Sisters series. I’ve only read the first one, Neighbor Favor, which isn’t as open door (from what I remember). Support an author of color this February and add this to your TBR!
