Zuri

The Blackburns

by Jenna Kent

ZuriAlways needing my help, Zara called on me. What I didn't expect was to run into Zoe Hart. My family often claimed there was such thing as love at first sight— and when my eyes met hers, I realized how true that was. In an instant, I was struck by a whirlwind of emotions for a woman I'd just met. It felt like the heavens had opened up to reveal a woman so tender yet so strong. I couldn't bear to be away from her, even though I barely knew her. Zoe has a tough exterior, but underneath lies a heart of gold. When she runs away from me, I'm determined to find her and nothing will stop me from getting what I want.



ZoeTasked with the job of delivering Emma's final paycheck from the library to Truth, a shady strip club owned by the Blackburn's, was not an ideal situation. Yet, it presented an opportunity to ask Zara about Emma—I hadn't heard from her since she married Zara and I missed her deeply. With my terrible social skills, Emma was the only friend who ever truly understood me. Growing up was a fight for survival day in and day out. I don't back down from a fight but recently I had grown tired of battling simply to exist. When my gaze locked with those of Zuri Blackburn, something stirred deep inside me—feelings of love and passion that I had never experienced before. But I knew what I was getting into; the Blackburns represented darkness and I had no desire to return to that world. Still, Zuri wouldn't let me go—she kept grasping onto me with increasing intensity until she possessed all of me.Jenna is a steamy lesbian romance author of fast-paced instalove romance.

I read this book because i wanted to laugh and well it delivered 😭😂😂😂
This one is literally a COPY PASTE from the first book but with different love interest, proposing after less than 24 hour? Seriously? 😭
Still i will continue to read this series, it’s quite entertaining

"You are holding back on me, but I'll break every barrier you put up around your heart. I'll shatter it every time until you're too weak to fight. I want your heart, Zoe. And I will get what I want."

heavy on the love at first sight. they make it seem so easy. i adored Zoe & Zuri. they were so perfect & soft together. i loved how Zoe didn’t take things silently, she was always so open with her feelings, i really admired that. Zuri isn’t as involved in the crime stuff, cause she’s a badass DR, out saving lives, but i still loved seeing her dark side.
————-i really loved seeing Emma & Zoe’s friendship, i want more of the girls bonding in the other books.

anticipating for jacobs excruciating 💀

The Blackburns - Zuri

This series is really starting to heat up. Something is definitely brewing for the Blackburn family, and I have a feeling it's going to be a raging storm! There are some very dark dealings going on in the background....can't wait to see how it all plays out.

On the romance side of it, it seems that the Blackburns have an inclination of "love at first sight." It happened with Zara and Emma, and now with Zuri and Zoe. It's actually sweet - and super sexy! 🔥🔥🔥

I cannot with the babies' names lol. I'm having too much fun reading these. Especially because Zuri didn't bother me as much as Zara did, I suppose because Zoe was more responsive, didn't take it all silently, so I'm glad for her. And also because Zuri isn't as involved in criminality as her sister (she is, but not?)

Anyway, I said before that everyone is unhinged, but it's actually starting to sink in after that Joe bit, I didn't actually think the whole city was thaaaat rotten, go figure. And Jacob, I'm so waiting the book you'll meet your demise, a very excruciating one.

Love this series.....🔥

Cant get enough of this heavy angs, steamy rollercoaster, spellbound series. Oooh i know there is more to come and cant wait to start book 3. If only the books where not so short. But 5🌟 all the way.

I love this series

I can’t wait to read the next book. The story line between the Blackburn sisters is very interesting. What will happen to the younger two??? I am about to find out.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pretty good! This one has a bit more depth than the first one. I like it.

Zuri and Zoe!

This series keeps getting better and better! This one had more action I love it! The one I really want to read hasn’t been released yet bummer but off to the next one!

[AnnaK · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.4 stars. Better than the first honestly

[Katie Flournoy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book two approaches anxious attachment on top of the continuation of the dark mafia romance. It contains more obsessive and instant love and an intense world that leaves no room for monotony!

Morally grey characters, mental health rep, action, and spicy spice, I can't get enough!

It’s still terrible but I can tell an editor was apart of this book. Thank God

I thought Zara was unhinged, Zuri is slightly more so.. again, easy quick reads, there’s minimal plot but what is there, is keeping me slightly intrigued somethings brewing in the background ..

Good

Very emotional read. A good amount of violence. The amount of times she kept running away. They want a ton of kids.
