Who the hell told Zariah and Gabe to be so damn cute?!!! It was sickening how adorable they were. I absolutely loved how unapologetically in love Zariah and Gabe were with each other. The attraction was instant from the moment they met and, the fact that popcorn played a key role had me grinnin’ from ear to ear. You’d have to know me personally to get that. Y’all know we stan an unproblematic couple on this side of Goodreads and Zariah and Gabe gave us all the positive vibes. From the genuine way they came together to as a couple to their first sexual encounter, it was nothing but intense heat and chemistry. I loved how communication was at the forefront of their relationship, how they showed up to support one another, and how they constantly affirmed each other. Listen, Zariah and Gabe were fightin’ for their lives in these literary streets to become my favorite couple and they may very well have won the battle. Cravings was a sweet and smutty feel good love story. You are definitely going to fall in love with this couple. Oh, and pearls will be clutched because, honey, these two gets it in.

Sexy sweet love

“You like being told what to do. Don’t you, Zariah?” Chilllle Professor Gabriel's fine as$ was with the ish and I was here for it 🙌🏾

Zariah and Gabriel were so good together. I mean they were the cutest couple...yet nasty at the same time. Well maybe I should say insatiable, they couldn't get enough of each other. The elevator scene had me looking for a fan because sheesh the heat jumped off the page.

In the previous book Zariah had met a mystery man (Gabe) that she wasn't quite ready to share with the family. This is her story with the mystery man who happens to be a fine as$ genius that works as a Professor by day even though he is only 29. It seems that he must have studied anatomy as well, because I was jealous of the multiple orgasms he had no problem giving Zariah.

I love an unproblematic couple and Gabe's calm spirit balanced them. Za spoke life into him and Gabe catered to her. I loved their dynamic because it was supportive and sweet. Gabe is on the Bookbae list because I love those quiet yet dominating types. BDE was oozing out his pores and he was clear on Za being his girl and made sure she knew it too. This is the perfect book to read in between all the drama, angst and push and pull we find in some of our reads.

I will say I wanted a chance for them to get out their bubble. I was hoping to see how her brothers received him even though she stated it would be in the paperbacks.

Shon never disappoints! I've been waiting for this release since I finished Yours and oh my god it made MY DAY. ༘⋆♡⸝⸝💌⊹。°˖➴

This whole novella is so cute and smutty. The best of both worlds. I was obsessed with Zariah and Gabe from the very first moment they are introduced. The chemistry between them? They had a SPARK! Gabe made me swoon so hard ngl like this man was so down bad for her. At one moment Zariah says she takes Ubers to get to her work because she hates driving and it's the easiest option. But Gabe is like ??? "you take Uber at this hour in the morning??? when it's dark??? NOT ON MY WATCH!" and he offers her to take care to anywhere she wants and pick her up whenever she needs to! That's right!!!! I was so in love with him by then.

You know I'm the type of girl who loves jealousy scenes and this book has them. AND I WAS ENJOYING THEM SO HARD! They getting jealous for each other? *chef kiss* That was so cute and loved that. Plus they had such good communication between them. Gabe was like nope nope you have something to say? Tell me so we can figure it out. It was so good and Zariah really knew then that this was for real. That what they had was something worth fighting for.

I'm so sad this is the last book in the series? The King's Town series is really something else. Thank you to Whit for showing it to me. FOREVER THANKFUL! I had the time of my life reading the first three back in January and Cravings is the cherry on the cake to finish this series.

I absolutely adored Gabe and Zariah! There’s clearly a reason he’s a Chemistry Professor because he’s mastered the formula 🧪 of creating a kindhearted alpha with a gentle soul and a healthy dose of BDE. Who would’ve guessed that spilled movie popcorn would lead you to the love of your life. I need to meet the daddy because Bash and Gabe were nasty af and I am all the way here for it! Clearly it’s in their DNA 🧬. This was a grown aśś, angst free, unproblematic love that gave all the feels. Gabe and Zariah complemented each other so well. When he was weak she was strong and vice versa. They were truly each others peace and solace 🥰🥰 I really enjoyed this series!

Gabe & Zariah

ZaZa found her one…..Gabriel is a young professor who knows exactly what he wants and who he wants and it is the one he made spill her theater popcorn….once he replaced her popcorn and through in a few more snacks, Gabe was captivated….the two went around for a few months before Zariah was ready to share her special person with her close knit group of friends and family.

This book was ok but I feel it has potential to be so much more. I loved the praise and the heated moments in this book. I know, I know it’s an erotica but I felt like with the chemistry that they had there would’ve been a little more focus on them outside of the bedroom? No? My bad. So many things happened and we didn’t get to see it. This is the longest book in the series and I feel slighted by this one the most. Like meeting midnight, Tyler and Ryann was not on page? The 30 under 30 events wasn’t on page either? Wow. I wouldn’t even talk about the yacht party. I know,I know bonus content is coming but I honestly feel that content should’ve been in the book. Nonetheless, happy to see Zariah got her thing on with Gabriel

Okay, but Gabriel and Zariah were freaky. It was all strong desire and passion, from the sincere way they first became a couple to their first sexual experience.

I love the way this author writes and I love male characters who know how to express themselves and aren’t afraid to express love for their women. However, I feel like the reader misses a lot of the buildup to their bond in this book. We don’t get to see the award show, the first time they admit they love one another, him meeting her family, etc.. I would have liked more buildup, but I still love the story.

Shon knows how to right a spicy novella! Out of the series this one was definitely more smut than story

Alright now professor! 😍 I really loved this couple! Whew knew a lil popcorn incident, could turn into a deep love filled with some of the nastiest scenes I've run across! 😜 You have to love an educated man, who is confident, sexy and full of BDE! ❤ Had me wanting to yell out, yes professor I like to be told what to do! 😂 Z was a spitfire, and the perfect match for Gabe! The way they adored each other was everything! Now, I'm going to be stalking your newsletter waiting for information ma'am! Need to know how much Webb is going to act up at Midnight's party! Enjoyed this series very much. 👍👍👍

Easy like Sunday morning is the best way to describe this book! I enjoyed the boy meets girl/ girl meets boy aspect of this love story and him being a baldy with frameless glasses 🔥😩. Zariah was hiding a good one and baby I don’t blame her for keeping him to herself to enjoy because she hasn’t had the best luck with guys and for me that’s relatable! Let me enjoy him by myself! Also, I loved how Shon showed how each of them dealt with personal issues, and how their actions affected the relationship. That was a cool touch that was added to this book and honestly if I’m having a bad day I’m acting like Zariah unfortunately! Lmao! Overall this book was a great end to a fun series! Literally love, light angst, and big dick energy! What more can you want?! 🤭

I could feel the attraction, intense sexual desire, consuming want for each other and so much more. This was an experience and I was here for it all, felt it all. Zariah and Gabriel was that couple, I could read about them over and over. This was a show of craving and cravings being fulfilled. You must indulge 😉

Craved

Zariah and Gabriel were a hot and heavy, instant sexy duo.

While they weren’t my favorite couple in the series, I did love their compatibility. I’m hoping to get updates on all the couples of Kings Town soon.

Good read. Really good series.

Whew!!!!! Gabe and Zariah were HOT. That’s all I got to say!! A chance meeting outside the movie theaters led to a connection and relationship neither expected. Definitely my favorite out of all the novellas in this series!!

Now why would Shon make the last two books in this series the best ones?? Only she knows but this was the perfect ending to Kings Town series. Zariah and Gabe complemented each other so well. They had amazing chemistry. Atp it's a tie between Gabe and Bash on who I loved more. They both were giving the whole book. I liked Zariah as well, she worked my nerves a bit with the childish behavior she showed. Like sis, you're a grown ass woman, if you had a bad day, communicate it using your words instead of taking it out on him. Thankfully, she did apologize to him. Besides that, I liked her and thought she was a good fit for him. This story ended the series perfectly.

I can’t believe this is the end of this series. I keep saying If I could choose a book universe to live in, it’d be this one. I’m so attached to this friend group mann. But I loved how real Zariah and Gabe’s relationship felt. This is an example of a healthy relationship, the communication between these two is how it’s suppose to be.
I cannot wait to read Gabe meeting the whole gang, once the paperbacks are released and I cannot wait to reread this series 😭

Yes

Now, Zariah and Gabe were hot! This is how you know what you want and go for it. Instead of that trying to play hard to get mess. I'm upset though. How you end this without Gabe meeting the family? I was waiting on that.

S/N: The author note states to buy the book to get extra chapters.🙄

Craving This

I think this was my favorite one. I love love love good erotica. When the connect and chemistry is solid and then you add all the juicy detailed and interesting smex. Yeah this was definitely my favorite. I will never be more mad at myself about anything as I am about not getting the paperbacks when they dropped. Big mistake! Huge! I think I can officially consider myself a Shon girlie now!

I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I loved the meetcute between Gabe and Zariah and their instant attraction and connection. These two were made for each other and they definitely craved each other. In the words of Zariah, “every woman deserves themselves a Gabe.”

4⭐️ 3.5🌶️
I loved the way these two met. I don’t know, I probably would’ve kept the professor to myself as well. My only wish is that we could’ve witnessed the yacht meetup in this novella. But thankful I have the finale up next!
Gabe and Zariah might be my favorite couple. Very sexy. Very spicy.

I enjoyed this novella series. I just wanted this last one to make everything come full circle, with everyone finally getting to meet Gabe. I kinda wanted to see all the couples intertwine/hang out, since each book has been about them separately.

I have to agree. This couple from meet cute to ending had my smile on ten. Their chemistry, the way they bonded 𝗦𝗢 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬. Their passion for one another….made this couple even more Elite and 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 in my mind.

She’s a spitfire, but on the inside, she’s as sweet as the delectable treats she bakes. While indulging in one of her favorite pass times, she doesn’t expect to bump into the dark, handsome stranger….who’d ultimately turn her world on its axis IN THE MOST SATISFYING WAY POSSIBLE.

Asking her to accompany him was only meant to make up for the spilling her salty and buttery treat. But in a instant, the walk through the mall turned into a whirling questions….that lead to a light pondering….. Love at first sight at the fragrance counter.


This was an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL cap to the series. I wish it didn’t have end. These couples STOLE MY HEART. 1000% RECOMMENDED.

I’m extremely excited for more from this author.

a beautiful story of trust

If it’s one thing Shon gone do, is write a dam book.

I mean this in the most loving way she is a menace. This story about Z and Gabe…beautiful. Filthy beauty.

The level of trust that is required to not only surrender your body to a person but to be able to drop all Walls with them and live in the moment. From the first interaction between these two, it was obvious that the connection was deeper than either of them had before. From the genuine and organic way they came together to the fluid progression of their first sexual encounter, their souls knew that home was in this other person.

Throughout this book she gave us feel good love. The spice is definitely high but more than that, there is trust. The way that Zariah is able to let go…surrender to Gabe, and the way Gabe is able to believe that she has his best interest at heart, is beautiful. I want to thank Shon for this beautiful display of love she created. The communication, the physical affection, and the consistency in reassurance and appreciation between these two was a treat. This book is worth more stars than i can give it. Thank you for writing about beautiful and easy love. There is no struggle here and God i love that about it.
