About this listen
Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.
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. Where they're long-stemmed roses, she's a dandelion: an adorable bloom that's actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighbourhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious 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, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.

A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is funny, sexy, and breathtakingly romantic. This is the kind of book you wish you could slip bodily into, live within its warm and magical world for as long as it would have you. Another rapturous knockout from Tia Williams
A spellbinding modern fairytale, sexy and warm and full of hope and the power of love
An enigmatic, enchanting, absolute gift of a love story that transcends time, place, and realm. Williams never ceases to surprise and delight!

Williams's style is bold and lively with dialogue that can snap like an elastic band
This book reads like the best kind of love song: tender, smart and undeniably sexy. Tia Williams simply doesn't miss
Magical and steamy . . . their love story is literally written in the stars
Elegantly blending past and present, romance and fantasy, Williams delivers a gorgeous, transportive love letter to the Harlem Renaissance . . . What begins as a simple romance is elevated by rich history as the story flashes back through Harlem's past, revealing both its glamor and its danger. This vast time span creates an epic feel that never overpowers the tender heat of the romance. It's a showstopper
Through the story of Ricki and Ezra, Tia Williams writes beautifully about our human tendency to romanticise the past, our identities, and love itself . . . Perfect if you loved Seven Days in June and Ashley Poston's The Dead Romantics
Williams's novel is both a love letter to Harlem and a recognition of its history that gentrification cannot erase . . . highly recommended
A truly original romance that is quirky, suspenseful, and unforgettable
Beautifully swoony and full of magic, this charming book is both a love letter to Harlem and to the essence of love itself
There's a glamorous quality to Ricki Wilde that suits the headiness of its love story . . . No matter the era, romance hangs in the air
Fans of Williams' hit novel Seven Days in June will be smitten by this

I loved all the characters, even the evil sister!
The performances are just so so good. Listening to these people read is like therapy. Thank you!
One tiny comment. As a Spaniard, i can assure you no police, anywhere in Spain will arrest you for sleeping on the grass. Not in a million years.
Dying to listen to her next novel xx
