What if one day everything fell into place? What if one day that toxic love didn't exist, and instead of stop and go, it was continuous?
DaVinci is a fighter, fighting for more than just a title, but to stay out of the shadows of a family he didn't choose. Fighting was all he had until he encountered a woman just as driven and unfulfilled.
Aria has never believed in happily ever afters or that mushy love that turned people into whole different folks. Instead, she was grounded, photographing by day and cuddling up with her bulldog by night. Surely that isn't a life, but it and her on and off again fling with an ex seem to be enough. That is until the fighter finds himself jabbing into her life.
Neither of them expected to form a connection, but they did. One forward thought began a continuous affair, one that seems almost too good to be true, especially in the media's eyes. Caught in the web of fate, Aria and DaVinci find themselves on a whirlwind adventure, not looking for anything they find in one another. Can what's found by mistake remain? Or will it fall, flimsy as the two find themselves charting unfamiliar waters?
I liked Continuous but, I didn’t love it. My biggest issue with this book is, there were no descriptions given for either of the main characters. There were no skin tones, no body type, no eye color, or no hair texture given at all. Outside of the author describing Aria as 5’2 with brown hair stopping at the nape of her neck, that’s all we got. Is her hair natural or is she rockin’ a silk press? It would’ve been nice to know. Hell, we didn’t even get a proper description on Belly. I’m a visual reader so, I need that description so I can visualize how the characters look as I’m reading. However, I did love the chemistry between Aria and DaVinci. The instant attraction and the energy between them were captivating. For me, Continuous was a just an okay read but I still look forward to reading more from this author.
Love really does have a way of finding you when you least expect it! During a time when neither of them were looking for love, DaVinci and Aria crossed paths and it was the most natural love at first sight I’ve read in a while! This was an Insta love done right! An Insta love that felt like it had year to marinate. Y’all know I am quick to say that I’m a details girlie and I will forever stand behind that however this story was written in such a way where some of the missing details didn’t take away from the story. Would I have liked to be privy to the conversations that bonded these two? Absolutely!! But again the story worked without it!
DaVinci was a boxer that was paving his own road to success. After his refusal to follow in the footsteps of his father’s crime business, he quickly became their enemy but he was ok with that. He was still determined to make a name for himself and create a family that he could call his own.
Aria had the mindset of a 🥷 through and through. She wanted to be bothered with you in doses and when your time was up🗣️ it was up. She loved her peace and solitude and didn’t have time for nothing if it didn’t involved her sister, niece, nephew and her dog. I loved her level of unbotheredness!
When she met DaVinci she thought it was for a photography gig but my guy was playing the shlong game!! He wasn’t playing fair and didn’t pretend that he was. Aria was his and it wasn’t nothing anyone could say or do to change that.
This would have 100% been a 5 star read for me but the family drama and the drama between Andres and Melissa (I think that was her name 🥴…. That’s how much of a non factor she was) left a lot to be desired. I think had we got more of a punch with those parts of the storyline, it would’ve been a knockout read (double pun intended🤭). With all that being said, this author is quickly becoming a favorite and I can’t wait to see what I can get my hands on next!
I love Aria period. She was real and she was everything. Champ was everything too. He had all the BDE and he was gave his all. I loved him. He loved her and wanted her from the first photoshoot and I’m glad that Izzy and Aria bonded. I hate that the exes couldn’t or wouldn’t leave them alone at first like get a life!
4.5 ✨I enjoyed the audiobook for this one!! I’m a sucker for a sports romance and this one delivered. I loved how protective and sweet Davinci was and how he matched perfectly with Aria.
From his first appearance in this story I was in love. DaVinci is bae! I loved everything about this man.
He never wavered with Aria, and the way he handled Andres. 💦💦💦 that is the type of BDE I want in my life.
Overall I really enjoyed this story, more so DaVinci more than anything and the way he didn’t play about Aria. But the conclusion between he and his brother was perfect.
4.5 ⭐️. I enjoyed this boxing romance. Thought it was super cute and well paced. Not too much drama interfered with their relationship. They trusted and confided in eachother. Loved all of it.
Let me tell you, from the first introduction, I was immediately smitten with DaVinchi. Aria is no slouch either, but she couldn't resist DaVinchi's charm. I can't blame her though; he made it so easy to fall for him. He is persistent, consistent, and possessive in all the right ways! The story moves at a quick pace, but I didn't mind at all because the energy between the characters is simply captivating. Even if it were 200 pages longer, I would devour every page because the author had me swooning and grinning at the connection and chemistry between this couple. I've recently developed a fondness for animals in romance novels, and Belly stole the spotlight for me. There's just something about a pampered pet that tugs at my heartstrings. I also appreciated the strong sibling bond between Aria and her sister. Their interactions clearly showed their unbreakable connection. However, despite the promising storyline, unnecessary subplots and inconsistencies detracted from the overall experience. The exes felt out of place and irrelevant; I would have preferred more focus on DaVinchi and Aria's relationship instead. I'm left wondering about the paternity of the baby and confused by DaVinchi's family dynamics, which seemed to lack depth and purpose. The issues with his father felt unresolved and left me wanting more clarity. Nevertheless, despite these minor drawbacks, the chemistry between the main characters kept me engaged and eager to explore more of this author's catalogue.
Please spread the word to other Authors…The world we are living in is toxic enough..Most readers aren’t looking for the repetitive toxic storylines being served to us that lead to four and five installments recycling the same drama.. DaVinci stood on business from day one…The progression of Aria and his relationship gave me life…Seeing them dealing with the challenges presented with the sense God gave them was refreshing…For a man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders he handled it like the Champ he trained to be..Aria’s reactions and responses to the toll social media threatens to burden or capsize your relationship or life range true of a supportive partner…Izzy was the realest on DaVinci’s team…Hopefully her and Roe can get a novella so we can get some more of DaVinci and Roe…Thank you for keeping the birds, Melissa and Andres bs to a minimum..Even though I wouldn’t have been mad if you had a short chapter about them being exposed…
This standalone is so lit. I love how my new babies connected the way they did. I wondered is that hit was really for the father or did they dad but a hit out on the momma they was he was acting towards his son 🤔. I’m glad his big brother man up and knocked their father off cause he was too jealous of his son for all of his accomplishments he was doing in boxing. I don’t know what to say about the uncle u take a charge for ur brother then u get out early now u wanna keep tryna find his killer u mite be next. I’m glad the brothers worked it out and came back together. I really need an update on them cause of lizzy and Roe. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more of them . Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi while eating popcorn and while waiting on the next book to read
This book is a typical urban romance novel. There is nothing unique about this book compared to others that are out there.
*** SPOILERS***
Boy meets girl and they quickly fall head over heels in love. Both have exes that can’t let them go even though they’re supposedly nothing more than a jump off. DaVinci is immediately possessive of Aria and exhibits many red flags, but some people find that sexy. Aria gets pregnant after only knowing and dating DaVinci a few months, but again they’re head over heels in love even though they really don’t know much about each other. Both have issues with their parents and only have a select few family members they actually get along with. They get married, get pregnant again, and live happily ever after.
Ending seemed a bit rushed.
I give the writing a 5, but I give the storyline a 1.
Shoot, I feel in love with DaVinci my own self because he was just The Man! I like the fact that he wanted Aria and went after her full steam ahead not letting nothing nor no one get in the way of what they were building together. I didn’t like the demand that DaVinci’s dad placed on him and I’m glad that he didn’t let it stop him from moving forward. It took Don’s sons to show him that he had to be his brother’s keeper in order for him to grasp that concept and to eliminate who the threat came from. DaVinci got the family he desired with Aria and DJ while connecting with Don and his family. I wanted to know what happened with Melissa and her supposedly twins. Also what was the end result with Izzy and Ro.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This was my first read by Kennedy B., and I had a good time. DaVinci and Aria were so entertaining. The storyline was a nice blend of love, acceptance, forgiveness, loyalty, and a good splash of drama. The way DaVinci was coming behind Aria was hilarious yet sweet. He knew what he wanted, and she didn’t stand a chance. He popped up on her, and that was it; she just went ahead and gave in 😂 Aria was such a good lead character. She had her faults, but not many. The way she adored those important in her life was beautiful. However, she was not for the games, family or not, and I loved that about her. She gave DaVinci what he needed while accepting him and what he could give in return. As this is a NTMA, and I’ve seen she has a hefty catalog, I know I’ll be returning to dive in because I need more. There is a secondary character that I need to get her HEA!
Really liked watching Aria and DaVinci fall in love with no games and commitment despite some outside noise. I did think the ex plot point was left unresolved and considering the allegations, wished that had been wrapped up more clearly. Also thought the situation with the father could’ve benefitted from a little more, DaVinci had been fighting and was undefeated and famous for years, what was the trigger for the father to decide NOW he wanted to make a move? All in all would definitely recommend the story - it’s a good read and I like KB’s writing style so I will be reading more in the future.
I really enjoyed this. Had me smiling the entire book. I hated I had to go to work and stop reading. Davinci would definitely make the book boyfriend list for me. The writing was really good. There was never a boring moment. Both main characters were amazing. They worked through their issues like adults. The drama was not over the top. Just an all around solid romance. I am excited to read more books by Kennedy B .
I so loves this storyline! Aria & DaVinci were truly meant for one another! daVinci was so blunt at times all you could do is laugh! Aria was a thinker, but when it came to daVinci she was mush! They had some bumps by managed to GWT through them, especially family issues! I was please to see that Don came to the realization that his brother meant everything to him, in spite of their father. The epilogue was really good as well!
I enjoyed this standalone! It was a sweet love story! Davinci and Aria were so opposite, but fit well together. Davinci seen what he wanted and went after it! In spite of his father’s threats and demands, he went his own way and carved out a great life for hisself! He had no filter when it came to expressing hisself, which was refreshing and embarrassing to Aria in certain situations. They ended up falling for each other and getting married! Loved this read so much!
These two had a random but cute meet cute, lol. Also I loved how DaVinci wanted to be in her presence & get to know her sooo bad that he did what he had to do. It gave me the vibe of a schoolboy that has a crush on a girl it was really cute. The only thing that I didn’t like about the book was that for this to be a sports romance (boxing being the sport) we only got one boxing scene but that’s fine cause there are scenes of him prepping for the big match.
I truly enjoyed this. I was engaged on every page. DaVinci and Aria made the perfect couple. This was well written. I was happy for no errors. Because I love sports related books, I loved reading about the techniques used in boxing. All the characters fit well in the book. Great reading.
Ari and Vin omg are too cute their love is so cute and I couldn't take it the character were written so well and the story flowed beautifuly. I'm so happy the fmc didn't do to much and didn't have me wanting to smack her and the male character gave everything he was suppose to give.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved loved loved this book. Davinci was so intentional with his pursuit of Aria and the love that blossomed between the two of them was magnificent to read about. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great love story.
This was my kind of Insta-love. DaVinci saw something he wanted and went after it. He was focused on his training and making Aria his woman. Aria didn't stand a chance.
Aria wanted nothing but to take her pictures, spoil her nieces and nephews and love on her dog. I liked how Aria was just moving about her life and loving on her family, especially her fur baby.
DaVinci.... He was intentional with everything he did. There was no hesitation and he didn't back down.
This NTMA showed off! I love when a man knows what he wants and stands on business. When a woman is loved, protected, & cared for, she will make sure her man gets yes every time! DaVinci & Aria was it for me. Truly enjoyed this. A good story with egg & nut donors that are trash, but they succeeded at life without em! Great read! 💚💛💜
Absolutely enjoyed this read. Will be listening again. Only thing I hoped for follow up on is what came of the exes after the issues they tried to cause.
Also this reminded me that I’ve been sleeping on Ace Bentleys narration, so I’m going to check out some of the other audio he has done.
DaVinci family was weird. I didn't understand why his father wasn't happy for him? Aria is such a sweetheart. They never said whatever happened with Melissa's pregnancy? Glad that Don made amends with DaVinci.
