MLK Day: Excellent category, Yz. I think it's good for people to shake up their reading ruts now and then, try something new, and aa romance is still growing as a genre and could use more exposure. If you're filling the category with books that happen to have aa characters coincidentally (the lack of them is telling though) or with Southern characters, that's cool too. If anyone needs suggestions for aa-romance, there's a lot of contemporaries and erotica, e.g. Zane (E), Eric Jerome Dickey (Suspense).
I also recommend Kimberly Kaye Terry (interracial E) and Lynn Viehl (interracial PNR). Neither of these focus on race if that's an issue (although, imo, there's nothing wrong with bringing it up when it's still an issue).



Jael, you should definitely try Terry, if you haven't already. She's good, LOL.



Kenjii, are you thinking of the Merry Gentry series that takes place in LA? I just read Mona Lisa Awakening and it started out in NY and then moved to the high court which is in Minnesota. Is one of the other books centered in LA? Never mind! I just realized you mean Louisiana not LA as in Los Angeles. My bad!
