Book Synopsis:
Kennedy Mitchell is brilliant, beautiful and tired of being the only Black woman in the room.
Two years ago, she was plucked from reception for a seat at the boardroom table in the name of “representation”. Rather than play along, she and her best friend founded Token, a boutique PR agency that helps diversity-challenged companies and celebrities. With famous people getting into reputation-damaging controversies, Token is in high demand and business is booming, but when her ex shows up needing help repairing his reputation, things get even more complicated and soon Kennedy finds herself drawn into a PR scandal of her own.
My Review:
Token is a fun, sexy and romantic read from a new author from me.
Firstly I absolutely loved Kennedy who was such a strong, clever lady who isn’t afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right. She’s such a lovable, realistic character that I wished that I knew in real life as I think everyone needs a Kennedy on their team. Her job in helping to promote diversity and equal rights by helping people work out their problems was very interesting. It has definitely made me think about my own awareness of issues people might face in day to day life and in their workplace.
It was fun to watch the relationship between Nate & Kennedy develop and I liked watching them grow slowly closer. Their chemistry was amazing and I found myself routing for them from the start, hoping that they would find a way to get together properly. There are some steamy moments which might not be to everyone’s taste but I didn’t feel they were overdone.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be recommending it to others. I thought the book had a good pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to keep my interest. There were a few twists that kept me on my toes and quite a lot of action that made the book hard to put down. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’d definitely like to read more from her in the future.
Huge thanks to Sara-Jade for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
