Beach Thing by DL White
5.0
This book gave me all the feelings and made me swoon. There wasn't a character I didn't like, well except for Drae and Ruben those good for nothing street rats.
Ameenah's parents have built a very successful restaurant chain with hopes that their daughter and son would take it over and run it. Ameenah's brother was down, but she wasn't. She had her own dreams that involved the house her grandmother willed to her in Black Diamond Isles and opening her own smoothie shop (she was a master creator of delicious drinks).
Her parents gave her the cold shoulder when she left for the island and opened the shop, but she was so happy--and busy--she didn't have time to wallow in hurt feelings.
One day after she closed up her shop, two very handsome men bump into her. In a typical rude New York way (sorry, but it is typical) she said "excuse you!" When the two men turned around, she slowly recognized them as a very famous rapper/producer duo.
She had no idea that one of them would become a steamy summer love affair. What ensues are warm romantic moments that literally made me swoon and sigh with happiness. There was even some drama mixed in between Ameenah and her parents, who tried to make her give up her dream (she wasn't having it) and between Wade (her homey, lover friend) and his no good, ex-convict father.
This book was just the right mix of heady love scenes with just a sprinkle of drama that had you like "oh NO you didn't!"
A delicious and delightful read that will have you feeling equal parts romantic --and hungry for some ice cream and one of Ameenah's tropical smoothies!
