Heart can be defined as the central or innermost part of something. But when that core function is broken, shattered into pieces at the hands of the ones you love most - the distress, suffering and anguish can be debilitating.
Sexy, savvy, unbossed and unbothered, Symphony James is always in control. As for her situationships with men, she dictates who, when and more importantly, how. Secretly crippled by a tumultuous past; love, relationships and family were never the desires of her heart. The savage sweetpea only experienced love with conditions until she met him. Unlike most men, Tyus Okoro wasn’t intimidated by the hard-care, incorrigible, yet stunningly beautiful Symphony James. Her boss chick behavior was nothing but motivation for him to dismantle her complications - layer by layer. But would he finally meet his match?
Hey Loves! I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri (in the words of Nelly, “I’m from the Lou and I’m proud!) with incredible parents and two amazing older sisters. Born Stacey Renee, I was the baby of the bunch and always had a vivid imagination – was wise beyond my years (to grown for my own good) if you ask my mother!
My love for talking too much (ha!), journaling, daydreaming, reading & watching various genres of movies, books I went to journalism school, determined to become Oprah! After finishing my degree, I did everything but becoming a journalist. I dishonored my childhood dreams of being in some form of entertainment but found a way to use this big mouth for good in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space.
I rekindled my love for reading and writing during the 2020 pandemic where my alter ego & pen name, Robbi Renee was born. Robbi is my daddy’s nickname so my pen name pays homage to him. (Yep! I’m still a daddy’s girl!) Renee, as you can see is my middle name – Robbi Renee!
I started Love Notes by Robbi Renee as an outline to release all of the stories that live in my head. I was challenged to write and publish my first novella, French Kiss Christmas, published December 2020.
Robbi Renee draws upon personal experiences with life and love. My written works are inspired by my adoration for Black love, and stories of romance, heartache, trauma, intuition, and redemption.
Stacey/Robbi Renee enjoys her own Black family love story with her husband George and teenage son.

💭 Final Thoughts: Like book #1, Highly recommend as a thoughtful reflective read that inspire healing! ❤️🩹
What a book! When you have not been loved correctly since birth its like a weight around your neck. Then when you actually find that love its hard to realize you have it. Symphony and Tyus.. what a world wind, but he hung in there. I enjoyed this book and loved Wesleigh’s narration.
Took me quite a while to finish this book although it was a short read. The personal family traumas feeding into your dating life was spot on in this book. Wasn’t my fave from RR, but super cute book!
