I loved Jo’s back story and her come up from Everett’s woman.

I loved that whole romance was the main plot, there were other subplots to keep me highly entertained. Part of the reason I loved this book was that it was filled with enough drama to keep me from putting it down. The villains in this book, wow well done and they brought the drama. This man will haunt my dreams forever because every hero from now on I will compare to Big South, lol. But he was the kind of hero I’ve never ever encountered. If didn’t even matter that we was bloody rich, if he hadn’t had a cent to his name he would’ve been the same character. He was family oriented and he was encouraging to the woman in his life. Big South Everett was the best hero I’ve ever read. But the narration and story really saved me giving this book a four because I was really going to. As a naturalista myself, again it almost made me put down the book because I would never describe this ancestor given crown of hair on my head as dusty. The second comment was when the heroine called her own hair dusty because she wore it in her natural state. That comment almost made me put down the book because it was so insensitive towards dark skinned women(like myself) I couldn’t believe a black writer would call dark skin trendy as if people can be in and out like fashion. As if having dark skin is all of a sudden trendy and like dark skinned women are suddenly in the same league as women of other races.

Once when the heroines best friend said that it was hard for regular black girls to get looked at with dark skinned women, Latinas and Asian girl being trendy. Let me start by saying there were a few comments that really bothered me that made me almost want to put the book down. I’d been in a romance funk lately reading a ton of books that just felt blah to me but I’m so glad I made the time for this one because it blew my mind. I was ecstatic to learn this would be on audio and when I tell you I stalked audible for weeks leading up to its release, I checked EVERY DAY! So about the book. So I’d been wanting to read this book for a very long time because I loooove AA romance to pieces but I’ll admit my love for audiobooks is stronger🙆🏾‍♀️ Many AA contemporary romances don’t have audio accompanies so often I will overlook them because often I don’t have time to read ebooks.
