A Wolfe In Chic Clothing
Iesha Chic moved to New York to follow her dreams and her long-distance boyfriend at the time. She had dreams of becoming a fashion designer and starting her clothing line. However, after four years and multiple broken promises, she finds herself back in Brookwood, with her tail tucked between her tail.
She doesn’t have the career she thought she would have or the boyfriend. Moving back home to Brookwood was the last place she thought she would ever be. Instead of sitting around licking her wounds, she applies for a junior designer position for Fashion Don.
Fashion Don is a billion-dollar company that has gotten away with ripping other designers off in the past by offering them settlements and then sweeping things under the rug. It goes against everything Iesha believes in, however, she has bills to pay, and she refuses to stay at her mother’s place forever.
Wes Wolfe was tossed into the role as CEO for Fashion Don when his father purchased the company for his new young wife. Instead of allowing her to run it into the ground, he moves from New York to Charlotte, North Carolina. He takes over with the goal of making Fashion Don better, and trying to get rid of the reputation that it now has.
When one of Iesha’s personal designs is stolen and put into mass production, Wes is determined to make things right with her. He doesn’t need the bad PR. When he meets Iesha Chic, he isn’t expecting the woman standing before him. She’s a Wolfe In Chic Clothing.

Love these stories
I love these stories by Jahquel J. They are different from what she normally writes. They are refreshing. I like how she spinkles in previous characters from Brookwood. I cannot wait for the next one!

Cute contemporary romance. We could have skipped the stupid third act break up and they could have battled the outside forces together but still a decent read.

This story gave drama, ambition, and chemistry wrapped up in one. Iesha truly proved she was a Wolfe in Chic clothing. Iesha Chic’s journey felt so real to me. Chasing her fashion dreams and love, but life had other plans. Coming back home wasn’t easy, yet instead of letting her setbacks hold her down, she pushed forward and stepped into a whole new chapter. I really admired that resilience in her.
Wes Wolfe, who came in as a CEO with a mission to shift the reputation of Fashion Don. From the moment they met, the energy between them was undeniable. What I liked most was how he didn’t just care about the company’s image but also about making things right with Iesha when her design was stolen.

This was a good read. I’m interested in the new side characters story

I’m generally a fan of everything by Mrs. Author Lady but The FMC is annoying and whiny. There’s a lot of repetitive conversation. It would have definitely been a DNF if I didn’t have the audiobook playing as I was multitasking.

you had me until, she refused to take the money after they stole her design. that's dumb bitch moves! they stole your design.... just take the money. this is not Jahquel J's best book. she can and has done better

This was such a cute read! It’s a reminder of how important it is to have conversations to avoid misunderstandings. I grabbed it to enjoy while I wait for my Libby holds—definitely a nice distraction! 😊

Billionaire Romance
This is my first time reading a Jahquel J. book and let me tell you because it will not be my last. Iesha and Wes had me in a chokehold because I was heavily invested in their love story. Like who doesn’t love the struggling woman that falls for the billionaire. Iesha return to her hometown after a fail relationship and broken promises. Wes is the billionaire CEO of Fashion Don and he got tossed into the role. His main focus was to clean up the brand’s reputation but Iesha also happened to him. The Jamaica vacation was one of my favorite moments in the book. Iesha is an aspiring fashion designer who got her design stolen by Wes’s company so that caused some drama. I would recommend this book to anyone who is obsessed with billionaire romance like I am. I gave this book 5 stars because I loved Iesha and Wes connection and chemistry. Their sexy time and moments were so good. I’m just here for it all.

Don't let the crazy cover fool you. Hooked from the first page and hated to see it end.
Wes Wolfe is forced to run a fashion company for his lazy father and ditzy stepmother. Talented Iesha Chic needs a job, a car and an apartment, so she accepts a job beneath her fashion designer skills. When the company thieves steal and manufactures one of her creations, Wes needs to handles it, before his company blows up from another lawsuit.
One big problem, 3/4 of the female character's names all begin with the letter "A". So I had to keep flipping back and forth to see who was who. Did a number on the flow of the story. But still an awesome story!

Imagine having a good venting sesh, unaware that the company owner is listening. You only realize when you see him at the head of the table during a board meeting the next morning. Now, you’re avoiding him, but he has his own plans that involve you.
My first encounter with Jahquel J. was through a Christmas novel, which I loved, and this book was just as enjoyable. I hope we see more in this series sooner rather than later.
Winston James and Ebony Ford did an excellent job bringing these characters to life. I would love to hear them narrate other books in this series, whenever that might be.

Enjoyable read
Enjoyed this story. The narrators did a good job with it. I loved how strong & independent the FMC was. I get tired of seeing meek & weak FMC’s so I was happy that Iesha was not that. I loved how supportive Wes was. I love that while he was supportive, he also didn’t try to overstep & take over when she turned down his help. He let her do things her way. The third act conflict was predictable but overall I think they handled it well. This was my first read from this author but I will definitely check out more.

Comfy and Cozy
I love a cute contemporary romance. This one was comforting and had all the feels. Wes and Iesha had some stuff to work through but they made it work. I hope to see more of them in the next installment of the series!

Perfect if you are looking for a Black workplace romance! Shout out to Charlotte, NC for being a setting of this book! This was fantastic on audio!

Listened via Libby. The narrators Ebony Ford and Winston James did an amazing job as always.
This was very cute and so enjoyable. The spice was great as well. Love the play on their names for the title and the back story of each character.

3.5 stars. I wish I would have read this on my Kindle rather than listen to it on Audible. The female narrator just was not it for me. But, with that aside, the storyline was cute. Very predictable, but it was a nice quick read. I'll read the rest of the series as it comes out.
Read
May 19, 2026This is a realistic POV about black love. Ayesha is a likely character. Everybody knows an Ayesha. I thought this simplistic novel was a well written thought out storyline, in regards to their romantic relationship, not so much their everyday schedule. It wasn’t very predictable. It was a work-romance novel. The male character’s personality is more dominant than the female characters, because he’s a smoother and level-minded man. I feel like this is such an Atlanta story. The women outnumbered the men and the chic suit-wearing CEO is very above the influence while the women have the workplace drama. I’ll be looking for more books by Jaquel J.

Before I read about the Delgatos and my book boyfriend Menace, I was introduced to Jah through her contemporary romance, specifically the Brookwood series. Now while I temporarily tapped out of her urban romance before reading Heart of a Goon (don’t worry, I’m making my way back), I can never get enough of her storytelling, so this gave me exactly what I needed.
That Libro.fm ALC came right on time. And y’all already know my pro-tip… if it’s on KU, read it there too so the author gets those page turns. We double dipping with our support over here. But let’s get into this book.
Iesha moves back home after chasing a dream in New York that didn’t quite work out, determined to rebuild on her own terms. When her design is stolen by a major fashion house, it sets the stage for her connection with Wes, the new CEO trying to clean up the company’s reputation.
This was such an easy, page-turning read. The storyline is straightforward with minimal drama, which was a nice shift if you’re familiar with some of Jah’s other work.
What really stood out to me was Iesha. I loved how strong and independent she was. No damsel energy over here. And Wes? Supportive without overstepping, which I always appreciate. He let her stand on her own while still showing up when it mattered.
Their dynamic worked, and even with some predictable moments, it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.
Also, realizing this is book one in a new series? Yeah… I’m already ready for the next one.
Another book off the shelf. We keep reading with intention. 📚

I have to say, I really loved this book. It reminded me just how much I enjoy office romance stories — probably because I used to write and fantasize about them when I was younger. This one gave me all the right vibes, even calling to mind the tension-filled energy of Endiya Carter’s Danger series, which I adored.
What stood out most for me was the relationship between the FMC and the MMC. I loved how she was given the space to grow into her own person, while he supported and nurtured her independence without ever being overwhelming. That balance felt refreshing and healthy to see on the page.
That said, I do have a few critiques. At times, the FMC’s insistence on rejecting help from the MMC because of his money and her desire to “make it on her own” felt a little overdone. Her independence was already clear, so the repeated insistence wasn’t necessary, especially since he never tried to control or diminish her.
Another aspect I didn’t fully enjoy was the way the book leaned into pitting women against each other. The presence of another woman vying for the MMC’s attention didn’t have to turn into animosity or a “delulu woman” storyline. I think books gain more depth when women characters aren’t constantly framed in competition with each other.
Beyond those critiques, I really enjoyed the book overall. The spice was just the right level for me, the plot was engaging, and I loved the dynamic between the leads. Interestingly, I had DNF’d another book by this author, but this one completely won me over. It’s definitely my favorite of theirs so far, and I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Iesha Chic moved to New York to pursue her fashion design dreams and be with her long-distance boyfriend. Despite hopes for success, she returns to Brookwood after broken promises. Instead of wallowing, she applies for a junior designer role at Fashion Don, a controversial billion-dollar company known for ripping off designers. Desperate for financial independence, Iesha must reconcile her values with the reality of needing a job. - Wes Wolfe becomes CEO of Fashion Don after his father acquires the company for his young wife. He relocates to Charlotte to improve the business and salvage its reputation. When one of Iesha's designs is stolen, Wes works to rectify the situation to avoid negative publicity. Meeting Iesha, he is surprised by her talent and presence - she's a Wolfe in Chic Clothing.
My Review: Oh my goodness! I absolutely adore a well-crafted romance, and this one was simply adorable. I have a preference for quick-paced reads in any genre, particularly romance, and this one hit the mark for me! The character dynamics were engaging, and I enjoyed getting a glimpse into their individual lives before they come together. The ending left me completely satisfied, and I'm eagerly hoping for further additions to this series!

Ooh this was a really good one. I was officially Team Wes Wolfe when he asked Iesha what her dreams were and why would she need to have both ideal and realistic dreams, then proceeded to declare his intention to ensure that she achieved any dream she had.
That man may have been an extremely wealthy workaholic and unaccustomed to relationships that required actual effort, attention and connection but he absolutely figured out how to move in a committed relationship really fast once he realised that he wanted Iesha as his future.
Iesha pissed me off with her unnecessarily independent stance on getting any tangible help from Wes. But as that was more of a trauma response than anything, that behaviour is excused somewhat after she finally understood that Wes was not going to sit back and watch her struggle when he had the desire and the means for her to succeed.
Can we talk about the absolute mess that was his stepmother's fast fashion company though? Loved how this story was inspired by real world fashion and business issues, especially as it relates to independent designers and brands and how these mega companies should be operating.
Ms. Jahquel J, Wex and Amaury better be next because though two been simmering on low long enough.
