You Can Be a Boss and Still Have Love | Cute, Meet, Love with Sedona Rose

Join Niccara as she welcomes Sedona Rose, indie romance author and booktuber celebrating Black love on every page, to the pod! We talk about her small-town rom-com Cute, Meet, Love , Kataleah asking her neighbor for a bag of sugar at midnight (and the sparks that followed), grief and legacy as she honors her grandmother's memory through Frosted Feelings, why some Black women brace for the other shoe to drop instead of letting love flow, writing Jayceon as a man who moves with patience and intention (medium pace, not slow burn!), relationships that end without going up in flames, getting your house in order before love finds you, and manifesting the love you want through the characters you write.

Perfect for readers who appreciate Black romance, small-town meet cutes, soft life energy, boss women building their dreams, and intentional men who move at your pace. Make sure you pick up Cute, Meet, Love from where you get your books!
