✨ Meet Me in Maui by Vasalona Cooper✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meet Me in Maui by @vasalonacooper feels like warm, sun-kissed skin, an ocean breeze, and Sade playing softly in the background. It’s long walks on the beach, top-down car rides, and sunset dinners. It’s the kind of summer romance that feels effortless and dreamy.

While Marley and Othello’s relationship may have started as fake, the chemistry between them was so real. The tension, yearning, and magnetic pull between these two could not be denied. I loved watching their love unfold, especially as they pushed each other to confront the parts of their lives that needed healing and growth.

They didn’t just find love in each other, they found a little more of themselves, too. 🤎

Cousins, please welcome Vasalona Cooper to 2027 Black Romance Book Fest! 🖤

Vasalona Cooper is an Atlanta-based romance author who writes moody love stories for hopeless romantics. Her novels blend emotional depth, witty banter, and unforgettable characters who often find themselves caught between the lives they've planned and the love they never saw coming.

She is the author of The Marley Diaries series and Meet Me in Maui, a tropical fake-dating romance. Before making her indie author debut, Vasalona wrote for a local Atlanta magazine and had her work published in Cosmopolitan. When she isn't writing, Vasalona can be found curled up with a good book, binge-watching Insecure (again!), exploring new restaurants, trying the latest beauty products, planning her next getaway, or getting lost in a game of The Sims.

What she writes:
- Contemporary and Thriller Romance
- Add to your TBR: Meet me in Maui

Make sure you're following @vasalonacooper and get ready to meet her at BRBF 2027!

look at me living out my dream and $hit!

proof that i can finish things i once only dreamed. writers, creators, authors, give yourself some grace. we are literally creating something from nothing!!!

celebrate and be proud of yourself. writing a book is no easy task.

we did that!!!

and thank you @raecorder (one of my biggest cheerleaders) for making me do this vid! “neowwwww”
😂😂🥰🥰♥️♥️
