Love and Kofi

by Dani M. Ward

What was supposed to be a simple tattoo cover-up turns into something far more complicated when assumptions collide, attitudes clash, and sparks fly.

Me’Chelle

I didn’t walk into the tattoo shop looking for conversation, judgment, or attitude. I just want a cover-up. Of all the dumb mistakes I’ve made in my life, getting my future ex-husband’s name tattooed on me has got to be the biggest. Now, I need someone to cover it and give me a fresh start as I grow used to my new normal.

Except the tattoo artist is rude, short-tempered, and clearly thinks I’m someone else. Someone he’s slept with already. But this tattoo has to go, and I only want the best… Apparently, the best is Kofi Washington.

Now I’m stuck trusting a man who insulted me in a big way. A man whose eyes linger a little too long every time he’s close enough to touch my skin.

Kofi

As the youngest of three brothers, everyone assumes I’m still immature. At work, I run a tight shop. You follow my rules, stay out of my way, and don’t waste my time. No drama is the way I lead my professional life.

When she walks in, I’m sure I know exactly who she is, and I want nothing to do with her, except I’m wrong. By the time I realize it, it’s already too late to take back my attitude and the words I’ve said. My brand is everything, so I do the unthinkable. I offer a massive discount; anything to get this woman to stay for this cover-up.

Covering her tattoo was supposed to be just another job. But Me’Chelle has a mouth on her, one that’s getting under my skin with every word from her lips. The more time we spend together, the more I realize some things aren’t meant to be erased. Some women leave marks deeper than ink… and Me’Chelle is one of them.

honestly, i had no idea what to expect going into this book. i just wanted to continue my kindle streak, saw it sitting in my TBR, and jumped in not even realizing it was the second book in the series until after i finished.

but BABY, this was an experience. very much “you’re mine and i’m never coming up off you” energy from beginning to end.

if you love unhinged, slightly chaotic, possessive men that will do absolutely whatever they feel is necessary for what’s theirs, this is definitely your type of book.

after kofi and che’s initial misunderstanding in the beginning, that man basically said, “yeah no, you’re mine today, tomorrow, and forever.” from beginning to end, this man was absolutely INSANE and down bad for che in the best/worst way possible.

from this man turning into the damn FBI trying to find any type of information about her in the beginning to purposely busting her pipes so she’d have to come stay with him. a little much? absolutely. but kind of cute in like a committed sort of way.

and kofi was not shy AT ALL about protecting what was his because the way that man had zero thoughts in his brain when it came to putting his hands on her ex-husband every chance he got. “if i’m going to go to jail for assault, i should get my money’s worth. they’ll charge me for a bunch of shit anyway.” like SIR!? that man was not worried about jail, charges, NOTHING! because one thing kofi is gonna do is crash out over che and make it known that no man better ever touch her or try to push up on her.

kofi was bout it bout it! and his brother, khalil? yeah, now i gotta go back and read the first book immediately.

but somehow while being completely unhinged, possessive, chaotic, and ready to fight at all times, kofi really did love che down. he genuinely wanted to give her the world, make her life easier, and let her just sit back, look pretty, and be taken care of.

now… to these other washington brothers. i will be seeing y’all real soon!

This was a fast-paced, borderline chaotic instalove story that will have you hooked but also make you side eye the entire situation. After a disastrous first impression, Kofi basically said “yeah…you’re mine” and never looked back. He was definitely possessive and slightly unhinged. The book also delivers on the spice. That man did not believe in personal space, boundaries, or taking a break. Kofi would not stay off that woman, and he was nasty with it too.

Anyway, the story itself never dragged, and if you lean into the chaos instead of questioning it too hard, it’s a fun ride. This book will work best for readers who enjoy fast-paced instalove, don’t need much realism in relationship development, and can roll with a possessive, slightly unhinged MMC without overanalyzing his behavior.

3.25 stars
Give me a man who’s a little unhinged but owns his mess, and I’m eating it up every single time. I picked this up wanting something short, quick, and chaotic and Kofi delivered. After a horrible first meeting, he realizes he’s met his person and decides no misunderstanding is about to mess that up. And when I say he goes all in… I mean immediately. Like, “we go together now” energy, full throttle. That’s my favorite trope to read honestly!! When the man just decides and steps straight into caretaker mode. Mind made up, no hesitation. Sir said, “you’re mine and I got this,” and honestly? Yes. Throw in some crazy ex drama for extra chaos and I was fully entertained. And the spice? It’s there. If you’re into a little breeding kink, this will definitely hit. If you’re looking for something short, sweet, chaotic, and packed with a possessive man who goes all in—this is it.

MMM Kofi

I enjoyed reading about Kofi a little more than I did Khalil.
His nasty was on 10 at all times and his protective nature matched.
My only complaint is that it ended to soon for me I know there is so much more to Kofi and Che!
I can't wait until book 3 is out.

Kofi might be my favorite brother! It was pierced he's tatted and made Me'Chelle fall for him. Quick read that gets straight to it and did not disappoint.
