I am known for saying that I will never read a romance. And I meant that, well, that was until my wife talked me into this one. So here we go.
As a whole, I enjoyed the book and the romance genre experience. The book is definitely for the grown and sexy. I enjoyed the plot and the storytelling and I found the characters relatable and easy to root for. My wife and I have been together for 27 years and married for 25. Seeing them flirt with each other kept giving me flashbacks of our greatest hits.
Anyway, this is also my first dose of spice 🌶️ . And apparently I have limitations. Because after the second scene, I had enough. I prefer reading more about their connection, what made them fall in love with each other the first time and current. However, we continued hearing about their strong sexual desire for each other. My brain wanted/needed more story.
Yasmen has great friends (Soledad and Hendrix). She and we needed them. I also enjoyed Josiah’s character. The author wrote a great black man with none of the goofy stereotypes. I read this along with the audiobook. I loved both narrators. This is a great 2nd chance love story and I give it four and a half stars. I docked it a half a star for what I mentioned above. Will I continue in this genre? Probably not. Point me towards some action (hold the spice please). 🤣
