2017 RITA Finalist
A rebellious cabaret owner and her stubborn chef pursue, life, liberty, and happiness in 1917 Harlem...and find love where they least expect it.
After spending half her life pretending to be something she’s not, performance is second nature for cabaret owner Bertha Hines. With the election drawing near and women’s voting rights on the ballot, Bertha decides to use her persuasive skills to push the men of New York City in the right direction.
Chef Amir Chowdhury jumped ship in New York to get a taste of the American Dream, only to discover he’s an unwanted ingredient. When ornery Amir reluctantly takes a job at The Cashmere, he thinks he’s hit the bottom of the barrel; however, working at the club reignites his dream of being a force for change. His boss, Bertha, ignites something else in him.
Bertha and Amir clash from the start, but her knowledge of politics and his knowledge of dance force them into a detente that fans the flames of latent desire. But Bertha has the vice squad on her tail, and news from home may end Amir’s dream before it comes to fruition. With their pasts and futures stacked against them, can Amir and Bertha hold on to their growing love?

The book centers around a Harlem cabaret club ran by Bertha Hines. She is a strong woman wanting to use her position as a cabaret owner to influence the upcoming vote granting woman the right to vote. The hero of the story is Amir Chowdhury, a chef and Bengali Muslim immigrant, who Bertha hires as a dishwasher.
The romance is interesting for a number of reasons. First the historic and social discussions regarding the suffragette movement, segregation, subjugation of women and immigration are just fascinating. Secondly is this period piece where the woman is actually the one in a position of power.
Narration on this one is very good. At times the accents would throw me as the Indian accent sounds a lot like an Irish brogue (which I think because of British occupation could be very accurate, it just took me by surprise).
Great historical romance
