Kiru Taye is originally from Nigeria and has quite a few novels set in her country.
Quick fact about Nigeria: According to Wikipedia it is known as "the Giant of Africa", and is
the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world.
Considering it’s size, that’s a lot of people.

Kiru has a book released in the
Ubuntu line of Decadent publishing called Island Bound. A lovely romance
set in a tropical paradise (Read my review here).
She writes both African
contemporary and historical romances. Be warned that her books get hot. I’d delve into her UK based novels, but
I’m keeping the posts within the continent. She’s a wonderful writer and I
highly recommend all of her books.
Blurb
When Christy Inemi-Spiff discovers that the man she
vowed to love and honor has no such feelings for her, she is determined to cut
her losses and move on with her life. A quick, quiet divorce is all she
wishes….
However,
Joshua has other ideas. He’s not ready to walk away yet, especially when he
doesn’t understand why Christy wants out of their marriage. So he demands she
agree to spend a quiet Christmas on a remote African Island with him, hoping
they can salvage their relationship. If she still wants a divorce after these
two weeks, he will let her go. But not before he’s had his fill of her.
But
with the sparking tension between them, and the secrets behind the
disintegration of their marriage threatening to explode, will either of them
get their wish? Or will this season of good will show them what really lies at
the bottom of their hearts?

ReplyDeleteHer work is wonderful.
DeleteI had no idea that Nigeria had that large of a population. As for the author, I hadn't heard of her either.
ReplyDeleteYou learned two things in one shot. Not bad for a day's work.
DeleteI definitely need to read Kiru's book!
ReplyDeleteHi on the recommended list.
DeleteI have no problem with a book getting hot! :) Thank you for the author highlight.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Kiru knows how to bring on the heat.
DeleteThe 7th most populated country in the world? Now that I did not know. I hadn't heard of Kiru, either, so thanks for telling us about her and her book.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the place is so populated, myself. I'm glad I could introduce you to Kiru.
DeleteThat's a gorgeous book cover! The layout...as well as the models ;-)

A tropical paradise romance? Yes, please! ;) I am jotting down the author's name and I'll look up her other books. Thank you for sharing, Nana!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I stay away from too much heat, holding onto the YA genre for a reason, but I love meeting new authors. Thanks for the intro!
ReplyDeleteRead all her books and I would recommend all of them! You won't be disappointed, trust me
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a great author, I'll have to check out her books, thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Nigeria was so populous. I love all the new things I'm learning through the A to Z blogs. And the book sounds very steamy!
ReplyDeleteHope you’re having fun with the A to Z challenge,

@ Lol. Crystal. Heat and YA don't mix at all.
