Layla says, “Beauty exists if we look for it,” and that rings true with this story. The beauty in it isn’t hard to find at all.Ava Bleu is a new-to-me author and I thoroughly enjoyed this novella. The writing is unique because there is use of alternate scenarios which drives most of Layla’s internal…
The author has a small collection of books, and this one will warrant a closer look-see at her catalog. The way the characters relationship evolved in this story; the connection was sparse until midway through the book. The hallelujah chorus could be heard singing in the distance for this couple’s inevitable truth. Because Ali Robinson…
I’ve said this a few times in the past few days, I was hooked from the first few pages. And I loved the way the hero looked at the heroine. When they first met, he promised they would share one night, but that was a lie. After that one night, it turned into two, which…
The second book in this exciting new series was a perfect addition to the author’s collection. In this edition of the Harmony Heights saga, the author dealt with the main character with a prosthesis and a childhood many would find cringe worthy. The facet of the story about mental health issues in the Black community…
Ivy Laika is a new addition to the B. Love author pool and the right choice for her portfolio. Lawdy, this story was some kind of goodness. The main character, Christela, was in the process of going through a crisis in her personal life. She did not feel that love was in her future. When…
Love’s Dance is the first book I’ve read by this author. I liked it enough to give her a try with future novels. A story that deals with music, dance, or art in any form is delightful. That factor will drive my reading habits every time. In this story, Journey Mills returned to her hometown…
The third book in the series was quite busy with so much going on in each character’s tale. Ashahve Glasper had so many crooks and turns that made her wish for the drama to subside long enough to breathe. Her relationship with her manic professor Elijah Coleman stopped when she began her relationship in earnest…
I like a story about a regular dude or dudette in everyday situations. The author’s series this time had a bake-off between two chefs in a challenge to win a tricked-out food truck. Now if that isn’t everyday people, then I don’t know what to tell you. The premise for the story was executed with…
Shanae’s story took me on a rollercoaster ride that I wanted to get off and take another trip in a different direction. The guy in her life treated her like a piece of toilet paper under his shoes. When she asked for a sign from God, and she received it in the form of her…
The Sweetest Escape was a satisfying title that gave me a great reason to try this story. Jasper Johnson was having a difficult time with some things that happened in New York when his sister-in-law suggested he leave town to rest and recuperate. The time to collect himself evaporated quickly when he met a beautiful woman in…
