A Wolfe in Chic Clothing: Wolfe Billionaires, Book 1

by Jahquel J., Winston James (narrator), Ebony Ford (narrator)

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 legs.

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 of 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!

4.5⭐️ Loved it. Definitely knew what was going to happen before it happened.

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.

[Brisace · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

[Nikki Sims · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jahquel J. has done it again. I love that Ms. Chic is focused on "making it " as a designer on her own merits, without handouts. Its nice to see a woman portrayed in a positive manner.

[SHY · Rating 2 out of 5]

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

[Keeping.Volumes.Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

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!

This is my first reading a book by this author and I must say that it was good! I love that 90's genuine love! It's extinct in real life. So to read a book that includes how a man and woman should be, was simply phenomenal!

A bit predictable but a cute hallmark story nonetheless.

[lexiskat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just the cutest love storyyyyyyyyyyy ever. And the title that plays off both there names is chefs kiss

[Nicole Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 Stars - This was such an enjoyable billionaire romance with a heroine I couldn't help but root for. Iesha's journey of returning home after her dreams didn't work out felt incredibly relatable, and I loved watching her pick herself back up instead of giving up. Her passion for fashion and determination to stay true to herself made her an easy character to invest in.

Wes completely won me over. He's the kind of billionaire hero I love reading about because, despite all the power and wealth, he genuinely wanted to do the right thing. Watching him work to rebuild Fashion Don's reputation while supporting Iesha instead of trying to overshadow her made their romance feel balanced and believable.

One of my favorite parts was how much this story emphasized ambition and second chances, both in love and in life. The chemistry between Wes and Iesha was undeniable, but I also appreciated that they encouraged each other's dreams rather than sacrificing them for the relationship.

The audiobook made the experience even better. The dual narration brought so much personality to both characters, and I found myself completely immersed in their story. The narrators captured the humor, emotional moments, and romantic tension beautifully.

The only reason this wasn't a full five stars is that I wanted just a little more time with the ending because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters.

Overall, this was a heartfelt, swoony romance with wonderful narration, lovable characters, and a satisfying blend of romance, ambition, and personal growth. If you enjoy billionaire romances with strong Black leads, workplace tension, and a hero who supports the heroine's dreams, I'd definitely recommend giving the audiobook a listen.

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.

[Azvelyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jahquel J and this quick palate cleanser, Wolfe in Chic Clothing did not disappoint. This was cute, short, and an easy read from start to finish. Sometimes you don’t need all the drama—you just want a couple to root for and a story that leaves you smiling. It may have been a quick read, but it was still a good time. 4.5⭐️

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.

Via Audiobook. A cute workplace billionaire romance. I just felt like it was a bit rushed at some points and I got annoyed with the main character towards the end of the book, but luckily she got it together

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!

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.
