We will be holding book discussions on some of our favorite Black romance novels over the last fifteen years. So dust off your oldies but goodies. I’ll send out a request for a reading list much closer to the conference.

The Grayson's Friends and Family Saga 7 books / 164 members / 199 posts (Francis Ray, Romance, Family, Friends,Travel, African American, Dallas, Author).
Ruth Grayson’s dream and her mission is to see each of her five children happily married. Despite her children’s strong opposition, Ruth, with a mother’s uncanny perception of what her children want in a life partner, places in their unwitting paths the perfect candidate. For Luke, the protector and the oldest, she’d chosen Catherine Stewart, a noted child psychologist (Until There Was You). Then there was Phoenix Bannister, a renowned sculptress, who might appear quiet, but who burned with an inner fire. She was the ideal match for Morgan, the defender (You and No Other). For her middle child Brandon, the nurturer, the perfect woman was Faith McBride. Faith possessed the same warm, caring spirit (Dreaming of You). Pierce, the thinker, learned there were no rules in love when he fell hopelessly in love with Sabra Raineau, a Broadway star (Irresistible You). Bringing her unpredictable youngest child and only daughter, Sierra, who was gifted with a knack of discernment, together with the elusive real estate mogul, Blade Navarone, had been fraught with unexpected danger. But Ruth had known Blade would love Sierra as no other man could (Only You).
