A Love So Supreme

Rate this book
Rapper Supreme Ian McNabb is more interested in going platinum than going on dates. That’s until he ran into the bold, no-nonsense event planner with eyes that pierced through his soul. After one meeting, he knows she’s different.

Jrucilla “Jrue” Peterson isn’t impressed by fame or even fortune. She definitely isn’t checking for a rapper with a jaded history and enemies lurking in the shadows. All she wants to do is raise her little brother and make sure he doesn’t follow their oldest brother’s footprints to prison.

In spite of Jrue’s resistance, Supreme wants her. Vowing to stop at nothing to get the woman he can’t get off his mind; he launches a full court press to win her over. There’s just one snag in Ian’s plan. Jrue’s older brother wants him dead. Finding out the woman he’s obsessed with is tied to a man who wants to end him should have sent Supreme running in the other direction, but he had never been one to run.

With public drama and real-life violence brewing, Supreme refused to walk away, even if loving Jrue put him in danger. In Jrue he found a connection he had never felt. She was his. Supreme decides it’s not about winning Jrue; it’s about claiming what’s his.

So good

Yes, you need to read this story. Jhrue with a J was too much fun. Her janky older brother was delusional to the max. Supreme was definitely supreme in this story.

Supreme

To Jhrue, he wasn’t Supreme…he was Ian and I think that made him more appealing to her. The fact she didn’t know him, made him want to get to know her more. Jhrue was always with the $#!+$ and hilarious with it. Supreme stepped hard and heavy behind her and Jeremiah which was another plus in his column. Her brother, that dude was touched and obviously someone who couldn’t take responsibility for his own failings in life, but to go to the lengths his did was CRAZY! I truly enjoyed this one, and won’t be mad if I see these two again! Happy Reading Y’all!💋

3.5 ⭐️

Jrue & Supreme’s love story was soo cute! He was the definition of “if a man wants to, he will!” I love a book where a man truly pursues a woman and never lets up on her. The drama was also there and the characters were lovable…with the exception of one.

Jrucilla “Jrue” Peterson was very protective over her little brother. Even if he was sixteen, he was still her little brother. She took custody of her brother when he was eight years old she wasnt about to bring any man around him he was her number one priority.

Their big brother Jrake pretty much raised them both til he was arrested. She was worried Jeremiah would fall into the same footsteps, which she didn't want for him.
He wanted to be a rapper she wanted him to go after something safer. Chapter one was wild lmao jrue didn't play, and she definitely didn't do anything with taken men.

Lottie cracks me up [ “Girl, you pulled a gun on them folks?” My friend Lottie cackled.].

The chemistry between Ian and jrue had me smiling like crazy person.

I love how much he loves his sister and nephew , Supreme Ian McNabb that man is smooth with it. Oh shit chapter 2 is getting addicting. Jrake and supreme got some issues with each other, and he is getting released soon.

When she said I was screaming, hell yeah
[ I want you to fuck me, Ian.”  ]

That man is determined to continue being in her life she didnt want any part of being with someone famous . Chapter 4  was hilarious af especially when she saw who was driving Ian around 🤣

My heart was breaking when Ian told jrue why he didn't like doing his birthday.

Jrake is causing so much issues but im glad Ian knows she isnt even about that crap and the way jrake speaks to her is so messed up. Chapter 10 was rough all cause jrake .

I loved the ending.

What Real Love Looks Like

You’re an event planner. You’ve been tasked with a birthday party. Now, unbeknownst to you, the recipient doesn’t like to celebrate birthdays, hence a surprise. Then you had no idea that the person is a celebrity rapper from your city. An unexpected encounter while you’re trying to get some air occurs where you and the birthday person end up meeting. You’re not given the famous name, just a part of his name. You’ve now been chilling with one of your younger brother’s idols and this is how you find out his status. He was happy just being him with you and you seeing just him. Problem comes when your brother was released from prison and finds out that you’re dating the man he feels set him up and threatens you to leave him. When that didn’t happens, bad things happened and it was not pretty, but you all didn’t stop. She doubted her regular self was good enough for a celebrity but he showed her better than he told her and it’s beautiful. You’ve even given him a reason to love birthdays.

A Love So Supreme



This book really kept my attention from start to finish. The storyline flows well and doesn’t feel all over the place, which I appreciated.

I’m a big fan of romance, especially when it’s not perfect, and this one delivered. The “hiccups” in the story didn’t come from the couple, which was different—instead, it was family drama that added tension without breaking them apart.

Jrue stood out to me the most. She had her guard up, but seeing her slowly open up after meeting Supreme was one of the best parts of the book. Their connection felt real, not forced.

Overall, it’s a good read if you like love stories with a little drama but still strong at the core.

Supreme and Jrue!!

I just loved the way that Supreme pursued Jrue the moment he met her at his surprise birthday party that she was the event planner for. He saw something different about her, and he wanted her in his life. Supreme also formed a relationship with her brother, Jeremiah, and took him under his wing which showed the kind of man he was. Her brother, Jrake, was unhinged and not in the good way. He should have gone about his business instead of having a non-existent beef with Supreme. This book was sooooo good that I couldn't put it down and read it in one day. The characters and storyline were excellently written, and I really enjoyed the vibe between Supreme and Jrue. I can't recommend this book enough.

Ten toes down......

Ms. Tatum, yes, ma'am. Supreme was ten toes down for Jrue. He didn't play any games when it came to her. It was quite admirable when he took Jeremiah under his wings as well. Jeremiah needed a positive influence in his life because his brother could never. Jrake had some serious maturing and healing to do. He made way too much noise about a dead situation. He was dead wrong in how he came at Jrue and Jeremiah. I was glad when he finally got what he deserved. He lost more than his freedom that day. But back to Supreme Ian and Jrue because he even inadvertently built Jrue clientele for her event planning business. He increased her business tenfold. He also loved her unconditionally and was ensuring that Jeremiah would be a success, not another statistic. The mere fact that Jrue was raising him alone speaks volumes on her character as a sister.

Ladies and gents, it's another hit by Ms. James. I highly recommend it, so grab your copy today. You will be glad you did.

A Love So Supreme was everythingggg! I loved Jrue and Ian together! Their chemistry was so sweet, and Ian had me smiling with how he loved on Jrue and showed up for her brother Jeremiah. That right there made me love him even more. The story follows rapper Supreme Ian McNabb, who’s focused on music until no-nonsense event planner Jrue catches his attention, but of course drama comes with it because Jrue’s older brother wants him dead. Now Jrake? A jealous, delusional weirdo who got on my last nerve! But overall, this was such a good read. The love, the drama, the family loyalty, and that ending had me satisfied. Tatum James did her thing with this one!

Great read

It be your own family. Jrake was toxic as heck. I think he was getting lit off his own supply for real.

Now I loved Jrue. My girl was not playing with anyone. She played too much but was serious when it counted. Her love for Jeremiah was as a sister and mother. It gave me some chills. Ian, yep, they fit. A ying to a yang. He was supportive and loving. Respecting her privacy but also using his platform to boost her business.

Tatum delivered a life lesson quick read.

she just don’t miss!!

I have not read a book by Tatum James that I don’t love and this book is no different!!

Ian and Jru’s story is so well written. I love when a FMC meets a famous MMC and don’t know they famous, that’s what I’m looking for meeting someone that’s famous but don’t know it and falling in love!!

The family drama will keep you reading but the love story and the way he treats her little brother will melt your heart.

So go ahead and add it to your TBR, you will not be disappointed!

Love Supreme

Another great read. Short, sweet, and full of drama.

Jealousy is a mean dude named Jrake. He was mad that he got caught up as opposed to having the career Supreme had. Instead of him trying to build after his bid, he went on a shooting spree and wilding out trying to blame his short comings on Supreme.

Meanwhile, Ian aka Supreme is falling for his sister. Supreme is all gas with Jrue. And the fact that she didn't know he was famous made it that much better.

A Love So Supreme is a very good read!

My beautiful black rose!

So much drama and action…I loved it! Jrue and Ian were interesting characters. They were fascinated by each other’s personalities, beauty, and chill vibe. Past ties caused drama and chaos for them at every turn but they built their relationship and trust and refused to bend. It was so entertaining and thrilling watching them fight for each other against the things being said and threats. He proves to her how he will take care of her and his love will reign supreme if given the chance!

A Love So Supreme

This was a good read. Ian was definitely good for Jrue. Her meeting him allowed her to enter her soft girl era and I loved that for her. Of course there can’t be love without a little bit of drama. Jrue had to choose between love and obligation, unfortunately for her the choice didn’t come without a lot of hurt. Tatum James definitely put a fully developed story in 129pgs!

Ian ...My Guy✨️✨️Jrue💕💕

Yes...Tatum....Ty Sis.✨️✨️Now I loved Jrue's willingness to handle things on sight. Trapped in that bathroom.🤣🤣.Ok, yes Ian had his mind on his business. I loved their connection. Jeremiah understood and lived his sister. Now Jrake needed all charges. The audacity of him. Ian having chicken pox was 🤣🤣 . His family stood 10toes down with him and for him.💕Loved that Ian was giving Jeremiah guidance✨️✨️My favorite little Jr. being born on his Dad's birthday was priceless. Ty Tatum for another one✨️✨️

Supreme to some, Ian to Jrue

Cute, quick love story. Jrue decorated a surprise party for Ian “Supreme” and she doesn’t even know it. Supreme is a well known rapper, but he’s just lovable & joking Ian to her. I’m glad she met him as Ian and not the celebrity. Their relationship is tested by her older brother, but things work out for them in the end.

I’m glad that she really didn’t know who he was. She really liked him for him. I think they both knew what they wanted as well. Jrake and supreme was giving me jealousy of each other and one got the upper hand. But would he let that much money go to waste? I need a part 2 or something. Short book but a good one.

Sacrifice

As siblings we want more for our younger siblings having them meet their unexpected dreams and accomplish what we didn’t. Boundaries are important in family just because we share blood doesn’t mean you deserve my respect or loyalty.

You will get the definition of selfless and selfish within the actions of the FMC and SMC.

looking for a good quick read this is it

Yeah that brother ain’t wrapped too tight. I must say I did want to see who set up Jrake but then again he so crazy he still would have thought Ian did it. Ian applied pressure when it came to trying to presume Jrue.

She don’t miss!

Does Tatum ever miss? This book had me from the start. It was an instant love, right place right time. Supreme Ian Mcnabb and Jrucilla Peterson met at a random, not so random, party and the rest was history. He was famous. She didn’t know. That’s what made him fall head over heels for her. I especially loved the chase. Ian wasn’t letting up no matter who or what said otherwise. This book had just the right amount of spice sprinkled in to really keep me enthralled with the story. I love a good happy ever after! 5/5!

Great book

It has been awhile since I've read a book by this author, but after reading the description of the book, I knew I had to. I'm so glad I did. It had the right amount of romance, drama, and humor. And, that Jeremiah is something else.

Love it

It was a beautiful story. You never know who will help heal your heart. Ian and Choc meet and didn't know who each other were, but they found love. Ian learning to take care of the love of his life.
It was sad that Jrake didn't understand what he did cause all his problems. Sometimes, the hate cause you to destroy everything and everyone around you.
I would recommend the book.
