We Could've Been by Aubree Pynn
This book is the true definition of “if he wanted to, he would”. Also, you can be so stubborn that you block your own blessings.

Sinful Serenity by Mary C. Kim
This book is EVERYWHERE in my romance groups. Besides people commenting on the absolutely stunning cover (which really “looks” like how the FMC is described), the general consensus was this was the book to read for the sexy sexy times.
I enjoyed meeting Serenity and Konflict and I’d even be interested in reading more about some of the side characters. I just was not in the right brain space for this type of book at this time. It happens.

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.

Finding Kristmas
A novella that reads longer than it is. Not sure I enjoyed it but it is a nice entree into the series.

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!

Santa's Lil Librarian by Nubian
I'm still not sure I know what I read but imagine a virgin woman who knows what she wants but has not found the right man. Then imagine that the "right man" might be a little crazy and that is just a small sample of what's going on here!

Let Me Hold You by Alexandria House
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Leland’s book but I was pleasantly surprised. He was more nuanced and mature than I expected. And considering he’s the young one in the relationship, he was a good compliment to Kim.

Let Me Love You by Alexandria House
This book was crazy, dramatic, sexy, over the top and I enjoyed every bit of it! The relationship between Jo and Everett was a lot to take in but it was never boring.

From Tyme deciding to crash her ex’s wedding, to finding an uneasy alliance with her ex’s twin brother, Midnight, it’s a whole lot of story.

Mafia Darling by Mila Finelli
I enjoyed the book but Francesca still annoyed me. She’s admitted she’s young and doesn’t understand this world and yet at almost every turn makes poor choices, doubts Fausto knows what he’s talking about and puts herself in harms way too many times.

Make Mine a Gangsta by K.L. Hall
This is one of those books where I didn’t not like it but I didn’t like it either. There was always something going on! It's definitely giving "Pretty Woman" vibes.
