The shuttle driver helped Kareem get his bags out of the back of the shuttle. It was his fourth visit since Lena moved to Miami. It hadn’t gotten easier. He missed his family. Kareem tipped the driver, shook his hand, and picked up his duffle bag. He had a garment bag in his other hand.... Continue Reading →
Let me start off by saying this book was a pleasant surprise. DL White is one of my favs and I wasn't sure when to expect something new from her. This book did not disappoint. Taj Wright, aka Nurse Dude, was an amazingly layered character. As was Miss Girard... also known as Evonne. Phew... both... Continue Reading →
Nina Crespo did a good job with this. The story was great. The baby steps and missteps in the relationship were enjoyable to read. Natalie and Rome were an interesting couple. Both were dealing with career issues. She had some life baggage on top of that. Solid 4 star read. I definitely recommend picking this... Continue Reading →

July 2016 Janelle woke up and immediately checked her phone for messages. For a year she and Austin had been exchanging messages of some type every day. Their favorite was text messages, although emails crept in when either of them had a lot to say. With Austin’s crazy work schedule there was little time... Continue Reading →
Okay... y'all... Selena and Dre are on my fav list. This story was great. I especially love the twist that I was sure wouldn't happen (cause if I wrote it, it would have happened) but it really did happen (and I squealed like a four-year-old little girl). I liked how it was tied to another... Continue Reading →
I got a copy of this from Netgalley and I am so glad I did. I have at least two other Therese Beharrie books in my Kindle Library and now I am super excited to read them. I loved this book. Piper and Caleb were such interesting and layered characters. There was so much growth... Continue Reading →
