When Dreams Float
When Dreams Float is a sensuous African American romance set against the lush backdrop of Tahiti and nearby islands. The story follows Melanie, a travel writer recovering from a painful divorce, and Winston, a charming and confident doctor she meets by chance at an airport jewelry counter. Their connection ignites quickly, deepening through a charged plane ride and growing even more complicated when they unexpectedly end up on the same cruise. The plot blends travel, emotional healing, flirtation, and slow-building intimacy, all framed within the warmth and escapism of the romance genre.
I found myself reacting to the writing the same way Melanie reacts to Winston’s presence. One moment I was caught up in the playfulness of their banter, and the next I was watching her pull back, unsure whether to trust what she felt. The author writes attraction through small gestures, glances, and touches that land with real weight. The scene on the plane where turbulence throws Melanie into Winston’s arms stands out. It isn’t just physical; it reveals her reluctance, her longing, and her fear all in one breath. The story knows how to stretch those moments without overdoing them, letting the tension rise naturally.
I also appreciated the author’s choices around character grounding. Melanie isn’t just a romantic lead; she’s a woman with a past, a career, and quiet internal battles she doesn’t always name out loud. Winston, for all his confidence, shows flashes of vulnerability that make him more interesting than the typical smooth-talking hero. Their dynamic feels honest. Sometimes messy. Sometimes sweet. There’s a little humor, a lot of heat, and just enough emotional complexity to make the story feel fuller than a simple getaway romance. And the travel writing details add texture. The descriptions of the islands, the cruise ship, and the small cultural observations make the setting feel like more than a backdrop.
This book would hit the spot for readers who love romance that’s sensual but also rooted in character healing and emotional discovery. If you enjoy stories where two people meet at the wrong time but can’t quite step away, you’ll connect with this one. And if you’re drawn to travel-inspired romance, tropical settings, or slow-burn chemistry that simmers before it boils over, When Dreams Float delivers exactly that.

When Dreams Float
This book sweeps readers straight into the shimmering warmth of Tahiti, where love, lust, and self-discovery intertwine beneath the tropical sun. When Dreams Float tells the story of Winston Knight, a confident and rational doctor, and Melanie, a thoughtful, recently divorced woman searching for peace and renewal. What begins as a fleeting encounter in a jewelry store turns into a passionate and unexpected connection that follows them from the skies to the sea. Their chemistry ignites instantly, and the story sails between emotional tenderness and sensual intensity as both characters learn to navigate vulnerability, trust, and desire amid a stunning island backdrop.
The writing is lush and sensual, yet it carries an emotional honesty that surprised me. Author Dorothy Elizabeth Love has a way of describing intimacy that feels both raw and poetic, balancing physical heat with emotional truth. Sometimes the dialogue leaned toward melodrama, but I found myself forgiving it because it matched the heightened emotions of two people trying to mend their hearts. The pacing was unhurried, letting the tension simmer until every glance and touch felt earned. What struck me most was how real the characters’ hesitations felt. Winston’s logical mind warring with desire, and Melanie’s fear of being hurt again, those moments felt relatable, and I caught myself rooting for them to let go and just love.
There were moments when the steamy scenes took up so much space that I wanted more time to breathe with the characters outside of their passion. Still, the story had a rhythm to it that kept me turning pages. Love’s writing feels cinematic, with descriptions that glow; silk against skin, ocean breezes, and all the sensory details that make a setting come alive. It’s a romance that doesn’t shy away from fantasy or physicality, yet it carries a beating heart of forgiveness and self-rediscovery. I felt a genuine warmth at the idea that broken people can still float toward something beautiful.
I’d recommend When Dreams Float to readers who love sensual stories that mix emotional healing with tropical escapism. It’s for those who believe that second chances aren’t just possible, they’re necessary. If you like your romance lush, dramatic, and unapologetically passionate, this one will leave you smiling long after you finish the book.

Love at the Evening Ball
Tony T. Williams’ Love at the Evening Ball is a heady mix of Southern gothic charm and unapologetic erotic fantasy. It begins with the grandeur of an old plantation house, bathed in moonlight and memory, before sweeping the reader into a whirlwind of romance and desire. What starts as an elegant evening gathering quickly turns into an intimate story of two strangers who find themselves caught in the heat of attraction, surrendering to passion with abandon. The setting is rich, the atmosphere lush, and the story wastes no time in plunging into the intensity of seduction.
The heart of the story rests on Terry and Hiyeon. Terry comes across as confident and deeply passionate, a man who knows what he wants and isn’t shy about showing it. Hiyeon, on the other hand, radiates playfulness and charm, mixing sweetness with a daring streak that makes her irresistible. When they come together, the chemistry is undeniable. Their relationship is a whirlwind of flirtation, teasing, and raw attraction, and it’s this dynamic that fuels the book’s energy and keeps the reader hooked.
The writing is bold in a way that instantly grabs attention. The dialogue between Terry and Hiyeon brims with playful energy, sometimes exaggerated, yet always filled with a reckless joy that lights up the page. The descriptive detail, especially in the more intimate scenes, is immersive and unrelenting, sweeping me into the moment so completely that I couldn’t look away. The intensity left little room to pause, yet that constant surge of energy kept me hooked, daring me to keep turning pages with anticipation.
There were also moments where I found myself smiling at the sheer audacity of it all. The way the author leaned into every sigh, every shiver, every whispered word made the story feel like it knew exactly what it wanted to be. No pretense, no hesitation, just raw desire painted across the page. I felt caught between being swept away and slightly overwhelmed, but that tension was its own kind of thrill. It reminded me that reading, like love, isn’t always neat or tidy. Sometimes it’s messy, wild, and unforgettable.
Love at the Evening Ball isn’t a book for the faint of heart. It’s for readers who crave romance with a heavy dose of heat, for those who want their stories draped in silk and sweat rather than subtlety. If you enjoy tales that are unabashedly sensual, where every touch and glance is amplified to a fever pitch, this book will deliver. It’s daring, it’s steamy, and it knows exactly who it’s written for.
