Rhyme & Reason by Nia Forrester
“Maybe friendship is all that’s realistic for us right now.”
With those words, Zora ended their long-distance relationship, shattering Deuce’s vision of a life with the only woman he’s ever loved. But after months of silence, he thought he was over it. He’d moved on, hadn’t he? And as far as he knew, she might have done the same. Now Zora is back from California, and he’s thrown into an immediate tailspin. Nothing’s changed.
She’s the one, the only, his rhyme, and his reason …
But this ain’t no college romance.
There are serious, grown-folks’ obstacles standing in the way, and the other woman in his life isn’t even the half of it.
And sometimes growing up might mean moving on …
Over a few short summer weeks, Deuce and Zora will have to decide whether the great love they shared in the past, is enough of a foundation to build a future.

Could they return to best friend status — you know, if it didn’t work?
Josiah was willing to risk their friendship for more. Brooklyn was hoping they’d never have to return to being just friends.
Do friends make the best lovers?
Read He’s Just a Friend today.

However, the universe shifts, stars align, the moon gives a nod, and the sun smiles blessing Bebe’s soul with a glow that persists until it’s hard to ignore. Someone has captured his heart in a grip so tight, sometimes he finds himself checking to see if it’s still beating when she’s not around.
Surrounded by women vying for his attention, only one has that ability to make him question if he ever felt true love before; even for his beloved Miki. Is it Stefani, the annoying baby mother; Nephia, the beautiful dance teacher; his eccentric next-door neighbor, Nola; Keyma, the one that slipped away, or someone else from his past that shakes things up by her presence?
Will he be able to let go of the pain of the past and learn to trust his once-broken heart when it tells him he’s ready, or will his reservations cause him a loss to love again?

She’s skipping the love and marriage and headed straight to the baby carriage with the decision to get artificially inseminated.
But at a table in the farthest back corner of the reception venue of her best friend’s wedding, she meets the best man, Bilal, and they click over a mutual admiration for art and geek culture.
He’s not looking for a relationship. Even if he was, he just broke off an engagement two months before he was supposed to say “I do,” and he’s not willing to talk about it.
Huge red flag.
It’s easy for Spring to overlook, though. Not only is he a nice guy, but he sees past the woman that doesn’t need anyone to take care of her but wants to be taken care of anyway.
What they decide to start together is supposed to be casual, giving Spring a chance to enjoy the fun of a relationship as long as it will last before she carries out her baby plans.
However, slowly but surely, the line between casual and serious starts to blur, and Spring has to start thinking about the tough questions. Do she and Bilal really want the same things out of this? Does it really matter?
Just maybe, for once, what she plans for and what the universe gives her will be the exact same thing. And if it’s not, dare she hope for something better?

Til I Overflow by B. Love
It was ironic. Poetic Justice, maybe? Whatever the case, Rakeem Owens escaped the streets, and at his retirement party, his home was raided, and he was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit. After spending seven years in prison, he is given the opportunity of early release with two major stipulations – probation and volunteer work to give back to the community the Judge believed he took so much from. With no hesitation, Rakeem agrees, but when he finds out that he’ll be serving under Maliah Dixon… jail seems to be a better option.
It was karma. Fate, maybe? Whatever the case, Maliah Dixon is thrilled when she finds out Rakeem will be volunteering with her organization. She started it with her best friend before he went to jail, and it has been her main priority ever since.
Rakeem’s heart has been closed and guarded for years, and it will take more than a familiar pretty face and nice frame to soften him toward any woman. But Maliah is determined to not only fill him with her love but be cleansed in the overflow. There is one problem with both water and love, though. Both were soft enough to cleanse and give life yet hard enough to drown and destroy anyone or anything who stand in their way.
