Reviews
Drunk in Love date completed 6/2/23 *3.5 STARS*
picked by Heidi.
I have to admit, I almost DNF'ed this in the beginning. It was a lot to take in. The misogynoir, N-word over and over isn't really my thing. I love AA romance but don't like it when we are stereotypes.
Plus the hero was NOT likable at all! I mean AT ALL. The cheating, the way he was treating women. No way.
BUT, I powered through. I had to turn my ears off sometimes with the N-word was flying all over the place, but the meat of the story was good. There were times when I was more on Kazir's side than Ny'asia's. Because to tell you the truth, she did some TSTL stuff in this one.
Ultimately, these two weren't perfect, but they were perfect for each other. And through it all, I'm really happy that they got their HEA. They really deserved it.
I Think I Might Love You date completed 6/2/23, *4 STARS*
picked by: Sassafrass
Another cute one by Christina C. Jones. Jaclyn was a straight up mess but she was trying to get herself together. And of course you knew she was going to keep Ms. Thang. No way she was going to be able to resist her. Kayden was perfect for her in that he was calm to her storm and he wasn't trying to change what fundamentally made Jaclyn, Jaclyn.
I really loved them together. I wasn't there for Kayden's auntie though. what an upitty heifer. Jaclyn's parents were a trip.
It was also nice to see the Wright family as well. I have to get back to that series.
