If I Don’t Have You
If I Don’t Have You | Sareeta Domingo
2 posts | 1 read | 9 to read
A captivating, sexy romance that explores the limits of love at first sight…
Afro-Brazilian filmmaker Ren is recovering from a romantic betrayal. Kayla is a Black British artist and journalist keen to make her mark. Thrown together during a string of interviews in New York for Ren's latest film, they’re struck by an irresistible attraction. The two surrender to one night of searing honesty and passion, which leaves them with more questions than answers about the future. With secrets lurking between them, letting their romance continue could upend the separate lives Ren and Kayla have so carefully built. But can they really risk losing their miraculous connection?

Blogger/artist Kayla meets film director Ren at a press junket, & there‘s a connection, they ‘get‘ each other. But there‘s a world between them, they‘re unlikely to meet again, & both have stuff going on...

This steamy romance is completely out of my normal reading (if anyone‘s seen my normal reading, please send it home!), but I enjoyed it. The characters are well-drawn, the conversations felt real, the complications weren‘t overly-contrived 👇

rockpools and the steamy bits were steamy! I also enjoyed the love/hate relationship Kayla had with her sister. And can we talk about just how stunning that cover is?!

This may never be my go-to genre, but I‘d certainly read more by Sareeta Domingo.

This is part of publisher Jacaranda‘s Twenty in 2020 initiative, publishing 20 Black British authors throughout the year. Thank you to #NetGalley and #Jacaranda for an eARC to review.

rockpools Ren‘s world of blockbuster movies is #setinhollywood, and he‘s there, sending postcards, for a couple of key scenes in the book (kind of tenuous but...) #Booked2020 Kayla spends a fair amount of time #greenwithenvy , especially where her sister‘s concerned. #BBRC #yeahbaby . Book 3 (I think) for #NetGalleyReviewathon @sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen 4y

CarolynM I like the sound of this (I'm always up for romance recs, especially from people who don't read them much). I've stacked it and I'm going to see what its price looks like🙂 4y
rockpools @Cinfhen I‘m up to 75%, even with a bail this week 🎉🎉🎉 (little things!) 4y
rockpools @CarolynM I think I‘ve read a year‘s worth of romance in the last month - it‘s most odd! Hope you enjoy it if you find it. Definitely NSFW, mind! 4y
Sarahreadstoomuch I love that cover 😍 4y

Good morning!

Finally starting the #NetGalleyReviewathon with this, which came out last week - I‘ll attempt to work out how to add it to the database later. I might have finally found something that holds my attention for more than 5 minutes 😊

Interesting sky this morning- obviously my phone doesn‘t do it justice, but this slab of cloud runs for miles.

And it‘s nearly the weekend 🌞

*ETA I added the book. But copy/paste didn‘t go so well 😑

Cathythoughts Morning ! Stunning sky ✨ 4y
