DEBUT A courier for an art museum, Charlotte Hilaire is stuck in Madrid thanks to a blizzard, and she risks contacting her secret crush from Yale graduate school, who happens to be on sabbatical there. Art historian Adrianna Coates offers Charlotte her guest bedroom to wait out the storm. The two quickly move from catching up on the past several years to having a brief but intense affair before Charlotte heads back to New Haven. Both Charlotte and Adrianna know they have found their match, but can they make their relationship work at such a great distance?
VERDICT Debut author Lowell doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties that Charlotte and Adrianna, who are both Black queer women, encounter in their professional and personal lives, making this a mature, honest, and erotic romance that will have readers admiring what these two smart and determined women accomplish.
