The Love We Both Needed: Baby, I Got You

by Tnesha Sims, Write Guidance Editing (editor)

Layla Hart is a driven and dedicated nurse, throwing herself into her work with an almost manic intensity. She pulls double shift after double shift, refusing to give herself any time for a social life. It's her way of coping with the deep-seated trauma from her childhood that still haunts her every day. Though she makes time for her little sister and best friend, Layla has sworn off men after the devastating betrayal of her ex. Layla catches the eye of a handsome and commanding boss when she cares for his daughter. Little does she know, this will not be their only encounter. As fate would have it, their paths continue to cross and their undeniable chemistry eventually leads to a steamy romance. However, this new man comes with his own set of complications and baggage that Layla isn't sure she can handle.

Largo, a single father to a beautiful three-year-old daughter, has always put her above everything else in his life. The death of his daughter’s mother during childbirth left him broken and wary of opening his heart to anyone. But when his daughter falls ill and he rushes to the emergency room, he is struck by the most stunning woman he’s ever seen. Their paths cross again later, and Largo knows he must take a chance and make a move. As a father and a street king, he never imagined finding someone who could capture his heart so completely. Now with Layla in his life, he must navigate the delicate balance of being a father and deciding if she should be a part of his daughter’s life as well.

Gradually learning one another the couple each had their own struggles and obstacles to overcome, but they both knew that love was what they needed most in their lives. Would they yield to their fears and let their past traumas destroy their chances at happiness? Or would they take a leap of faith and open themselves up to the love that they both needed?

Baby I got you 💕💕

Layla is an awesome big sister. She gave Lexi the love and the protection she needed and deserved. Their mother Loretta was a trip. Largo messed up but him came correct to get Layla back. I love the bond between Londyn and Lexi. Los and Eva got it together also. I'm wondering did Cozzy and Kylie work?

They All Got The Love They All Deserved!!

Largo met Layla at the hospital after he cursed the first nurse out. He ran into her at the all white party because that's where Los met Eva and invited her there. They hit it off and exchanged numbers. When Largo was describing Layla to his mama because Los ran his mouth , she told Largo he's in love. Ms. Tracy told him he needed to settle down and get out the business because London needs a mother figure. Layla had to step back from the situation relationship because she knows how she can get falls real hard real fast. Sinolona is trying to seduce Largo it was tempting but he shut that down quickly. Los had some words for Eva when he thought she cheating on him. Layla is a great big sister to Lexi. Loretta is a heaux and trash who goes from man to man. Loretta is jealous of Layla because she has life she wanted. Eva came back, she and Los picked up like they never left each other. Layla told Largo she wanted to move and he made it happen because she missed her friends and Largo missed his mama. Los and Eva got their family. Layla is making wedding plans. Their family is almost complete.

good one

This book was not what I thought it would be. But it was awesome and better than my thoughts. Layla and Largo met in an unconventional way. They go through some trying times. The characters in this one fit so well together. Not sure if I missed it but wonder what happened to Mel?

Happy Reading‼️

Really good read. Would’ve given it 5 stars but there are quite a few typos.
