Plus-sized beauty Keyella Lovelace is over love. She’s tired of being used by men who prove to be anything but who they truly are. But what happens when fate decides that she isn’t as over love as she claims to be? Especially when heartthrob Elijah Donovan crosses her path and captures her undivided attention. Elijah doesn’t hesitate to make it extremely clear to Keyella that he wants her and that under no uncertain circumstances will he allow Keyella to use her fears to categorize him as just another heartbreak waiting to happen. But is his word and desire for her enough to encourage Keyella to give love just one more try? Or will her choice to choose the kind of ecstasy Elijah brings into her life slip through her fingers right before her very eyes…
Elijah Donovan has no plans to ever again allow love to make a fool of him. He’d vowed that his interest in the opposite sex would remain purely physical forever after his own run-in with love. But that’s before Keyella struts into his life and makes him rethink everything. Immediately, he is drawn to her beauty and wants to explore everything she allows. Elijah not only becomes anxious to show her intimacy on every level, but his urge to protect her, whether she wants him to or not, becomes second nature to him. Unfortunately, between Keyella’s glaring doubts about allowing him to get too close and the bandage that’s still holding her heart together, Elijah quickly realizes that she is terrified of losing herself again. Will Elijah be able to get her to trust him with her most prized possession? Or will the dark storms ahead force them apart for good…
The pacing of the book was good. The characters in here were written well because sometimes they had me in my feelings. The spice and connection built between Elijah and Keyella was 🥵. Elijah was coming with that energy and not letting up. Talk about applying pressure. Keyella had her issues with trust. She was ready to cuss someone out asap but not live in the moment and this new man do you right. SMH.
Now i did like that the author wrote about that lame guy and how he was doing Keyella. There might be someone going through that right now and needs a wake up call. Over a good book. Glad book 2 is already because the cliff hanger had me like 👀😲.
This book gave BDE and I loved it the ending had me ready to throw my kindle because now I need more 😂 I loved how spicy this book was. Key was doing to much she just wouldn’t let this man show her something new hated that for her but definitely a good book.
Whew, Keyella was working my nerves. Insecure in regards to how she sees herself with a man/relationship. Low self-esteem! I didn't get it, though. Boss lady with a business & business mind, and two best friends who continued to speak life and joy into. Then, the crazy aunt she stood up to. She's stronger than she realizes. She allowed her ex., Dylan to get into her head, talking down to her and making her feel like nothing. Making her doubt herself about making decisions when it came to men/matters of the heart.
Elijah had his work cut out for him. Keyella was a mess! Was he strong in his approach, yes, but I found that sexy as h$&*.
Elijah, I loved him cause he wanted what he wanted, Keyella, and had no problem going after Keyella. She was resistant but not resistant when it came to sex. She was all over the place. But, I have faith in Elijah, and his genuine love for Key.
All I can say is I'm rooting for the two and can't wait until book 2.
New to this writer. Based on other reviews and references, I came in expecting smut.
However, she deliversanythingbut in the form of a McDream of a character named Elijah Donovan!
Elijah is Mr BDE walking and smitten with the next-door BBW business owner. Problem is 1 shorty got a man. 2 she doesn't know her own value.
Has anyone ever been grotesquely happy to see you? That is how he felt every time he saw her!!
Keyella, 🤦🏾♀️! This character got old real quick. We get it: you were hurt (but were you really?). You got trust issues. Blah, Blah. But when a man is showing you who he is not just telling you... I was annoyed and over it for him!
"you were never in that relationship. You were just biding time with that fuck nigga until a real nigga came along".
It ends on a cliffhanger, tho 💁🏾♀️. So off to pamphlet #2 for the conclusion of this short story we go!
Honestly, Keyella worked absolutely every nerve I had 😂 Like girl either you want this man or not! All this back and forth not doing it for me. Either stand on business about not being with him or stop all that yapping and get your man 🙄 Elijah came with the BDE though! Which is why I kept reading 😅
Elijah's vivid descriptions are truly captivating, painting a picture with his words that's hard to ignore. Their intimate moments are undeniably passionate and steamy 😰. On a side note, I appreciate how I Ms. India frequently mentions other authors and recommends specific books from their collections.
My nerves so bad I had to break out my candy cigarettes. Baby one thing I love is an alpha man and honey yall better get one of these. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for what’s next.
I can’t believe this ended like this…i had so many good things to say about Elijah and Key …ima keep my good things to myself. but my attitude is prevailing …but umm READ. THE. BOOK. patiently impatiently waiting book 2
Nasty nasty nasty and a little more nasty and I loved every minute of it! I wanted to strangles Keyella every other page but I get it! Where is the store that make them like Elijah??
While it was recommended to me, at 64%, I had to DNF. Masterbating in your own office is so unprofessional and downright nasty. Nothing about that is logical, and that action alone made it impossible for me to continue liking the FMC.
This was exactly what it said on the tin... left me ready for part 2 as i now have to know what happens and im praying for a happy ever after... i'm not open to anything else for Key and Elijah.
Ms Key got me frustrated that she is so unwilling to give Elijah a chance even when his actions match his words. Now that cliffhanger got me hot so let me hurry to part 2. Overall great read
First she was choosing all the wrong men. They didn't appreciate her or make her feel her worth until he came along. He showed her body and soul what it was missing
I know you Lying! Who in the world done shot Keyella, because I know she done got hit! I feel it in my bones! Ughhhhh Now I need to know who did it bc it’s a few enemies out here! Let me keep going. Y’all grab a copy you won’t be disappointed
Oh my goodness! This book is pure 🔥 and will have the reader on one for sure. Whew! 💦 It has drama and plenty of nasty... Okay Ms. Nasty Norfleet... I see ya!
OK so like I need the rest of the story because we're not gonna just leave me on that type of cliff hanger. Key was getting on my nerves like girl, please gain some self-esteem for the love of all who is wholly... I get it but come on girl. Elijah was high-handed but I gotta say I don't like to know a lot he could have been handling me anyday with his mannish ways.
