Between Me & You: A Layton Grove Novelette
Forbidden.
Off limits.
Those are two words Q & Aubree overlooked as they stumbled into something neither of them expected to last as long as it has. But, when it comes to matters of the heart and keeping it real, nobody else needs to be in the mix anyway. “Whatever happens, wherever this sh*t leads us, it’s strictly between me and you.”

Ready for more?
I read this because I wanted to read the Christmas story that follows it🤷🏾♀️ but it was a cute forbidden love, friends' bf/sister trope. Q and Aubree have been secretly messing around for years. Aubree is wanting more and Q lives her, but is giving fboy vibes. A situation arises where he has to man up...a quick read to see how it all shakes out.

GOOD READ
This was a nice short read. Although Q and Aubree thought their sneaky links were a secret, you could say that it was more for them than the sex. Their connection and attraction were undeniable. I'm glad Q decided to step up and reveal his truth as well as making Aubree his woman. I can't wait for the next story.

The was a cute fast paced secret lovers novella. But trust me it didn’t disappoint! It funny to me when grown men be scared to tell their best friend, that they’re smashing the little sister. Y’all grown! What y’all creeping for? But I’m glad Ollie wasn’t mad at Q, and was happy for him & Aubree.

Talk about 4 plot twists in such a short read! This is definitely about to be one heck of a story. Q and Bree are in for one!

When something happens in life and makes you realize that everything you’ve ever wanted was always right in front of your face.

Tropes: Forbidden Love, Sneaky Links, Long-Term Crush
y’all know i love a good novella – this was fast paced and attention keeping. it took a lot longer than I would like for Q to get his shit together and snap up my girl Aubree – but it got done, the right way. And I love that for them.
