The Book of Adam and Jo: an Interracial Literary Romance

De: C.L. Donley

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This thing me and Jo have, it’s real dangerous. And not just because of who we are.Passion. It’s reckless. Doesn’t care who sees or what it costs. It’s good if you have a little. Just enough to aim and shoot. Hit your goal. But it shouldn’t be spilling all over the place. Damn. I knew the danger. The whole time. She seemed a little lonely, but she seemed decent. Moral. Had her head in the right place. I just can’t remember why I thought that would keep me safe. Why would a woman not have the power to consume me, just because she was decent and moral? Since when did pure oxygen become less of a threat to a match? But then, a wild, stubborn, loudmouth son of a bitch like me definitely shoulda kept her safe. So I don’t know what the hell is goin’ on.

A stern and heartfelt warning from the author:

This book contains the first-person perspective and inner monologue of a former nazi/white supremacist main character named Adam Kerr. He has a swastika tattoo on his arm and lives in a racially segregated town called Bethesda, set fictionally in North Carolina. He is not politically correct. He's not a Republican, but he's sure as hell, not a Democrat. He's never heard the term "cisgender," he has no pronouns and he does not know what "safe spaces" are. He does not keep up with current events on the world stage. He does not have social media because he does not have friends, he only has family. He doesn't mind you reading about him, nor he does care your thoughts and feelings about his thoughts and feelings. He only cares about what one woman thinks about him, and that woman is JoAnn Abrams Kerr. If this is your first C.L. Donley book, I recommend that you put off buying this one, and start with a different book [my recommendation: Leftovers With Benefits]. If you don't like that one, then you will hate this one. If you do like it, then proceed with Adam and Jo at your own risk. I create all my characters with unflinching realism, empathy, and dimension, so if you have problems feeling positively and/or negatively toward a person that you don't agree with, who is the main focus of the book, then you should move on. For those of you who've read my work before and appreciate it, check out the sample before downloading the book. This book is unlike the others, in that it straddles the fence between romance and literary/women's fiction. If you know and trust me as an author, I'm hoping you will trust me again. It is incredibly steamy. You will be triggered. You will be challenged. You will cry. You will laugh. You'll cry again. You should probably take off work. Wanna read a story? Then let's flippin' do this. C.L.

The Ending Ruined Everything!

I stayed invested in this book even though I could see that it was going sideways, and running out of steam nearing the end.
If I have one pet peeve when it comes to books, it's when the writer rushes a book to hit a deadline, and wraps the book up terribly like what I feel happened here. I wish the writer had put down the book aside and really thought about a cohesive ending that made sense, and that didn't leave one feeling so frustrated and cheated!
I'm currently halfway through listening to Finding Camille, which is also by C.L. Donley, and so far I'm finding that book outstanding, so I'm truly shocked that both books are written by the same author.
I will be beyond mad if that book ends in a similar fashion as did one did!
I will still continue to read other C.L. Donley books, because I definitely feel that she has a some talent, just not when it comes to this title unfortunately.
