4.25

Loved the romance and the growth of the love. Could’ve done without the teen sex, in this specific context, and the details was unnecessary. (I don’t mind acknowledging that teens have sex, but when a book is a romance, it feels inappropriate for teen sex scenes to be intermingled with adult sex scenes.) I appreciated the way the romance was written, it was beautifully written. I did feel the daughter was a bit too precocious, but in general I’m not really a fan of the overly precocious child. They never feel like real children, even precocious ones.

Spice Rating: 🌶️.5 / 5

Seven Days in June is such a beautiful novel showing how two lives can intertwine even after years apart.

Eva Mercy is a spicy fantasy author who is feeling stuck writing the last book of her series. Out of the blue, Shane Hall, an award-winning literary author, shows up at the same event Eva is attending. No one but Shane and Eva know that 15 years ago, the two of them had a week-long love affair that has stuck with them all these years later. After reconnecting, Shane and Eva can't deny the chemistry that still exists between the two of them. But are they meant to be? Or are they just meant to be two ships in the night who never quite find each other?

This novel not only focuses on the love story between Shane and Eva but also on Black voices and how they are perceived in the world of literature and beyond. Seven Days in June takes Shane and Eva's story and makes it about so much more than just love. It's about connection and healing and honesty and finding your place. This is such a beautiful novel, and I'm all the better for having read it.
