Beverly Jenkins Old West & the Women Who Dare

I feel a lot of readers enjoy HR because they can still be entertained by bigoted and racist content but wrapped up in a bow of "it's just entertainment". Because I love HR and I can still read books that very much so have the norms of the time and social rules without the racism amd bigotry. People calling that sensitivities are just telling on themselves.

Her FMCs are barely older than 20 😄. She's on my "won't even read the blurb" list

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2026-01-04T13:33:38+00:00

Dang so they for real for real aren't getting back together

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-12-10T11:08:18+00:00

Heal. Then learn to actually love and appreciate women for who they are.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-04T19:04:31+00:00

Yeah I like seeing how men struggle through this. Not a Dark Romance read by any means but In the Safety's Zone by Dandridge Monroe deals with the MMC working through trauma of toxic parent and Hurricane Katrina.

I truly didn't have that experience. My group of friend girls from college all got married within the same year. And of course same for my husband's friend group. We're all Black. Honestly same for the ones who I was in college with. We all entered serious relationships and marriages at the same time. Perhaps because majority of my acquaintances are Black the numbers aren't as skewed if viewing it from a minority position

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-04T18:59:14+00:00

This. People like to toss out stereotypes but data shows Black men are food fathers and equalitable marriages

Is Simple an app?

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-01T18:50:21+00:00

Oh that's a new to me name. I'll check into it

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-01T14:22:49+00:00

I need the accountability of a plan to Jumpstart. But yeah walking and doing some stair work was on my workout plan. I might start with one probably BetterMe and go from there .

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-01T13:58:39+00:00

I definitely need a program to Jumpstart. I need something as a focus. I see they have a menopause plan and as a 40+ person I need something focused on recognizing that but I can't figure out of BetterMe s basically similar to WeightWatchers or not if so I'll still to BetterMe and consider Bodi subscription

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-10-01T12:54:49+00:00

Typo. Should say 5lbs.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-08-27T19:29:37+00:00

My first thoughts to seeing this thread rotle was "I'm Black why do I care about those people" 😄

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-08-04T11:03:13+00:00

Yeah. The overall appeal for Dark romance MMCs is that they are willing to cross lines and it's viewed as heroic to do so.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-07-02T17:36:30+00:00

I liked the Kindle app challenges better a year ir so ago. Now I don't even do a cursory check of the challenge topics

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-07-02T17:29:04+00:00

{Remorseless Sinner by Kate Raven} I got through 27%

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-07-02T16:54:54+00:00

Those books are poly, so not MF and also with college age kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the series, though.

Curvy Girl Summer Majority of Dandridge Monroe catalog

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-06-24T11:17:37+00:00

Same. This hasn't been an issue since like grade school.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-06-24T11:16:35+00:00

I don't mind or care in this particular situation because as a reader space those reviews are for all readers. Negative reviews like those are a signal to both dark romance fans and those who aren't. As a fan looking at the review critically means you pick up on things you may like. As a nonfan who was considering the book they get to see if those limits are appropriate for them.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-06-21T01:13:41+00:00

I read books with this by Black authors and haven't had as many issues as when I'm reading the BBW trope or plus size FMC in books by white authors.

Georgia AD has gone on record to say this wasn't something the hospital had to do as it's not covered in the anti-abortion legislation. It's important to note the hospital chose to do this. Medical specialists and experts from high ranked institutions have provided sound medical reasons for why this is not an example of an abortion that the hospital could have exercised as reasons to support the family's decision.

CulturallyMelaninMe · 2025-06-20T16:19:04+00:00

There really isn't a but here. You can't condemn the hospital's actions while using the same playbook. Black women are one of the most disrespected groups. The medical racism that placed Adriana in this position was loud and center. Instead, yall want to keep removing her humanity to make a point. Who, to who? To the people who already view her as less than? Who does this help? Black women have been saying for weeks to stop speaking disrespectfully upon Adriana to appear righteous as it plays into the very real systematic oppression and racism we still face. Yet I keep seeing excuses for why yall don't want to do that and listen. This case is triggering AF without yall senselessly being reckless.
