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.
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.
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.
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! 😊
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.
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⭐️
Love me some you Jah . Reading books I never have in your catalog waiting on Quasimmyyyyy , thus was a nice cute little read nothing DANGEROUS or crazy lol we love a vanilla love story 9/10🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.

There’s not much that I need to/want to say about this. It was a cute instalove story. Nothing really spectacular.
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
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!
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.
This 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.
An Easy, Engaging Read with a Strong FMC and a Supportive MMC

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. 📚
