Coming Home, a Novella by Kennedy Ryan
This was such a feel good book by @kennedyryan1 If you’ve ever gone to an HBCU and/or attending an HBCU reunion, this is like a warm hug. You can tangibly feel the angst and longing between Naomi and Toire, which only adds to the novella.

Sugar Love by Victoria H Smith
don’t know what made me think of this book, but it had me searching deep in my archives to find it! I read this book 10 years ago! I can’t even begin to think what 2016 Brandan was thinking but I enjoyed this reread.

Church Girl by Naima Simone
I was all set to give this book 4 stars. It was good and I enjoyed it, but did I love it? Welp, I knew I needed to upgrade the rating when I finished it and damn near reread the book again immediately after! The dialogue, banter and character growth between Aaliyah and Von was incredibly well done.

Heaux Phase by Netra Antionette
I saw the cover and was immediately intrigued. Then I saw a few IG posts recommending it and added it to my TBR. Next, a close friend told me she read it in 1 sitting, so I went ahead and purchased it and got to reading. Best decision!

A Man for Mrs Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon
SUCH a good book that I am so happy I found. Because, what if Mrs Claus stays the same but it's Santa that changes?

Stolen by a Billionaire by Miss J
This is a two parter so be prepared to read both! I enjoyed them but it is MESSY boots. An engaging ready but know that there is some editing challenges.

I'm Fine...Thanks by Jaquel J.
Ok. First off, be aware that this book involves cheating. Would I normally condone or finish a book that centers around cheating? Emphatically no. However, once you get into this book, it starts to make sense and you might start to think “she deserves some happiness in whatever package it comes in”. So reserve your judgment just a little bit!
