There are not many Black Woman/Asian Man (BWAM) romance books out there, so I was eager to read this one.  I was very pleasantly surprised.  The story of Noel, a plus size black woman with curves and Kai, a K-pop star was exceptional.  I liked the fact that both of these people had strong characters, even though Noel had to work through her insecurities about her looks and her job as a waitress.  Despite the strict rules under which Kai's K-pop group was managed and Korean culture that would not readily accept Noel (so it was thought), Kai held strong with his conviction that Noel was "the one."  He never wavered even when those closest to him tried to dissuade the burgeoning relationship.  The romance was sweet, the sexual relationship was hot and the negative outside influences were very believable.I have only one negative comment:  the author should have better editing/proofreading.  Throughout the book I noticed that question marks were noticeably missing in many dialogue sequences and many missed or extra words were prevalent.  Not too, too egregious.  I tried to overlook them because I was enjoying the story.Overall, I recommend this book to all who love a great love story, and especially for those who crave and enjoy IR romances between a BW and AM (Korean).  Hopefully, this young author will continue to write these stories.  I'd love to read about the other members of the singing group.  Could IR romance be in their future too?
