Feel My Love

I love this Feel My Love for so many reasons. The main one would be Afrika’s mom Goldy. She was the first character I had introduced for comedic relief in one of my books. My goal was just to make her as dramatic as possible. The readers’ response to her was exactly what I was hoping for.

Feel My Love focused on the internal struggle of love. Afrika and Warren had a short moment of being enemies that led to Warren fighting the idea of falling in love again.

A lot of us have been there, right? Where we want nothing more than to be in love, but we’re still holding on to past hurt. That pain can go beyond not trusting others and leads us not to trust ourselves. When it comes to love, we have to take accountability for our actions. It’s tricky to self-reflect to accept that we played a role in our own heartbreak. How does someone recover from that?

That’s where Warren was.

On the other hand, Afrika had zero reservations when it came to love, so the two had to find common ground. Warren was unwilling to lose Afrika, and she was tired of waiting on him to recognize that she would never bring him pain.

One of my favorite thing about Feel My Love which was very intentional, was the minimal drama. I chose to focus on the beauty in their love and dilemma. Drama is nice, but sometimes, a feel-good romance doesn’t require it.
