K is for Kiru Taye - #atozchallenge

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?

  13. I 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!

    Hope you’re having fun with the A to Z challenge,
