One love story . . . One hundred years in the making. Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn't one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she's the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a more exciting life awaits her. So, when she is invited to rent the bottom floor of a Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh start. She leaves behind her wealth and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. Then one evening in February, as the heady scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way. Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York. *** THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER *** Praise for A Love Song for Ricki Wilde 'Magical and steamy . . . their love story is literally written in the stars' Red 'An evocative story of love against the odds' 5* Reader Review 'Williams never ceases to surprise and delight!'

"I listened to the audiobook and I thought it was a beautiful, magical story!"

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"“I’ve seen beautiful things and terrible things. Until you, I didn’t know that they’re two sides of the same feeling. I want you, Ricki. Actually, it’s not a want. It’s an uncompromising, inconvenient need. But it’ll ruin us both.” My first Tia Williams book and it did not disappoint. This was unique and different from the romances I normally read. The characters were compelling, the descriptions and prose were relatable and still nicely written. I loved the parts about the Harlem Renaissance and the music world it was so rich and full of culture. I was not expecting the time traveling and magical aspects of this book but overall I think it worked. Ricki and Ezra the mmc’s have this instant, soulmate type love and their whole lives they’ve been waiting for each other. There also a ticking time on their love and time together which plays a big part in the last half of this book. My only little things is third person pov which I wasn’t really into but overall this was a really good book. I would recommend this to everyone but especially if you are okay with romances with contemporary and some historical magical realism. Thank you GSP and Netgalley for this arc for an honest review."
