Welcome to Give Them Romance, a newsletter where we share spicy, sweet, and sometimes naughty romance novels and stories featuring our BIPOC leading ladies.
Created by long-time friends and writers, Sujeiry Gonzalez and Krista Purnell, they launched this romance newsletter and Corner of Press, their independent publishing enterprise, to celebrate the lives of Latinx and African American characters. There aren’t enough books or blogs written for us by us and so we are here to change that!

About the Founders
Sujeiry Gonzalez is a spicy romance author born and bred in NYC in the predominately Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights. Much like her leading ladies, she risked it all for love, leaving her family and culture behind to start anew…on Long Island. Oh, Sujeiry is as dramatic as her characters! The hopeful romantic thrives on writing romance novellas with twists, turns, humor, and a bit of escandalo (the sexy kind). She takes inspiration from her personal experiences, her culture, her friends and family, and her time as a relationship columnist for Latina Magazine.
Her debut series, Heights of Love, follows the romantic lives of a tight-knit group of friends from Washington Heights. From friends to lovers to opposites attract to boss moves and Fireball shots at Vivere, their favorite bar, these multicultural characters play hard, love hard, and get frisky often. This series highlights the lives of Latinx in the city and all the twists and turns, misunderstandings, and passionate love affairs they partake in while searching for love in the Big Apple.
When Sujeiry is not writing, she’s booked and busy socializing with friends at bars and vineyards, traveling, reading romance novels, personal essays, and mindset books, dancing (even if it’s in her living room), and cuddling with her 8-year-old son.
Krista Purnell has been writing since childhood. From fictional stories to letters to the editor, she’s always used her words to make a point. That love for crafting words and sharing stories eventually led her to start her own blog about life as a twentysomething. Her writing opportunities later expanded to the intimate apparel industry where she was a regular contributor to The Lingerie Post and later The Lingerie Addict, where she also served as an editor. After spending most of her adult life in New York City, she is currently living la vida in Los Angeles.
