Best Interracial Romance Books
Darkest Times
For quite an astoundingly and appallingly long period, any kind of romance between differing races or colors of skin were strictly forbidden and looked on as something to be avoided at all costs. What can we say, as people we were racist for a long, long time.
However, progress of course comes after the direst and darkest times, so we learned to live with and love one another. As such, interracial romances, relationships, and marriages became more and more prominent. With that said, we can go on now with our countdown of the best interracial romance books.
The Grunt 1 by Latrivia S. Nelson
The Lonely Hearts Series
The Lonely Hearts SeriesLatrivia S. Nelson is the pseudonym utilized by Latrivia Welch. Latrivia is a resident of Memphis, Tennessee, United States of America, and writes superb tales. One of our favorites of hers is the 2011 publication of The Grunt 1. The Grunt 1 is the third novel in the six-book series The Lonely Hearts.
Brett Black
The main character of The Grunt 1 is Brett Black. Brett is a man who knows when something is up and his intuition is always there to help him. After all, he is a Recon Marine and it comes in handy. However, the battlefield has nothing on how his life turns out when he comes back home to see that his wife is going away and she can’t be persuaded otherwise.
Out of nowhere, Brett is left as a single father to his child. His alpha male mannerisms are going to have to change swiftly or he has to find someone to help him out with his child. Courtney Lawless, on the other hand, is a story for herself.

However, when the night sets, she is as vivacious and lively as any bad girl. Courtney has intentions of going to college, but her parents are less than willing to help out what with her past stints.
As such, she finds a job as a nanny. Now, who may her employer be? Why, Brett Black, of course. For Brett, the fact that Courtney can be so helpful, always there to talk, make food, and clean, is a sight for sore eyes. As the two begin spending time with each other and enjoying each other’s company, they soon see what they’ve been missing their whole lives.
Beast by Pepper Pace
Estill County Mountain Man Series
Estill County Mountain Man SeriesPepper Pace is a Cincinnati native and the inventiveness in her writing is something worth praise. Accordingly, her 2012 novel named Beast is more than worthy of its spot on our list of the best interracial romance books. Beast is also the first novel in the five-book series titled Estill County Mountain Man.
Christopher
Christopher has devoted most of his life as a Marine. However, the fact that he has such a muscled, strong, and stunning body does not hide the fact that he has a bilateral cleft lip. He was born with his facial impairments, but his father and mother were not wealthy enough to pay for the repair surgery.
A surgeon did try and help, but it only scarred him further. Now that his large stature portrays a mighty, strong military man, he is also viewed and is referred to as Beast because of his scarred and less than kind to the eye face.
Ashleigh
Ashleigh, on the other hand, is quite short compared to Christopher and she is overweight. Ashleigh just went through a rough time as her boyfriend broke off their relationship and married another person whilst still being with Ashleigh.
She does opt for any pity parties, but knows that getting rid of her excess weight will help her in the long run, though she would rather not be seen working out. For this reason, she begins trying to lose weight in the basement gym of the company she works for. Here is also where she comes by the Beast, Christopher.
Misunderstood
Both of them are misunderstood and have been subject to much derisive talk – Christopher less so, given his frightening looks – so when they find that they are good for one another, that they like each other, and they really do need each other, could it be just the beginning of their happily ever after?
