Description
In less than an hour, an innocent girl’s dream goes bust, a delicate, interracial marriage teeters on the edge of the abyss, a time-honored friendship shatters, and a family implodes on account of one man’s crazy and senseless attachment to a custom that seeks to determine who should be married and to whom.
Femi and Jessica, a young, interracial couple with 1st Class degrees in Chemistry & Economics land two spectacular job offers within the first week of graduation, and their bleak honeymoon is transformed into a dream. But that’s before he takes her home to meet his parents . . .
What’s worse? They don’t know that undisclosed details of their dream job will pitch them against each other and drag them to the place where dreams end and nightmares begin.
Will their fragile marriage survive the greed and the captivating allure of Black Gold?

This was a bit of a tough read for me. I loved the idea of a fledgling couple trying to find their place in the world. With the corruption and politics pulling them apart, I expected a bit more on their personal stories, but the story seemed to focus largely on the dilemma of which of the lesser evils should they go with. I felt that their relationship was glossed over and not very emotional, and I hoped for more. I felt that this was more of a fiction story with only a touch of romance.
I received a copy of this story through Candid Book Reviews, and this is my unsolicited review.
