BOOK REVIEW
For transparency, I should state that although this book is technically an F/F/M Black Erotica (featuring Black characters as leads), the author is not a POC.
Completely Yours is about Caroline, Alisha and Daniel who work togther and find themselves navigating a complicated love triangle during a week in New York while they prepare for an upcoming store opening.
Caroline is the successful boss lady who doesn’t want a commitment or long-term relationship. She is taken aback by her attraction to her new project manager, Alisha. Alisha is competent and brilliant and attracted to her two bosses, Caroline and Daniel. Daniel, on his part, has been a loyal and steadfast friend and business partner to Caroline for many years. He is also in love with Caroline, a love which is unrequited. He want s lifetime of commitment not a quick tumble in the sack.
Everyone stays within the professional lines until Daniel reveals that he is leaving the company and suddenly a normal business trip becomes a kind of Mexican standoff of sexual tension. How does this get resolved? Well, you’re going to have to read this book to find out. What I will tell you is that there’s a whole load of steaminess on the route to a happy conclusion.
Do I think the author pulled off the ‘Black characters’ perfectly? Not by a long shot. For example, ‘frizzy Afro’ as a hair style? A Black woman would only refer to her hair like that if she is having a bad hair day, in my opinion. Also, the conversation between Caroline and Daniel about the Bronx sounded condescending and pulled me out of the story, amongst others.
However, if you put aside its flaws, this is still a good steamy read about the intricate and sometimes tangled human relationships. There were moments that really spoke to me, especially Daniel’s heartache at the unrequited love he had for Caroline who had friend-zoned him. But as they say, all is well that ends well. Seeing their relationship progress into a functioning polyamory was beautiful. Worth checking out.
