'I Am Yours' begins with Amara, debating with herself over the wisdom of inviting an old lover into her life to help her with a work-related project. But as she reminisces, it's clear that Noah isn't just some ex-boyfriend, he is The One. The one who made Amara feel far more than she ever felt before; the one who makes her want to ... run. And run she did. The end of their affair wasn't so much of an end as it was an abrupt and prolonged interruption, because as soon as Amara and Noah reconnect, the result is explosive; and based on their past, it's completely predictable.
But Amara pretends not to have predicted it. She has a buffer, she believes--her 'almost-fiancée' Keith, who is so safe, he doesn't inspire much of anything in Amara other than mild contentment at best, and boredom at worst. Keith is the antidote to her feelings for Noah, and even though she is drawn to Noah with everything in her, Amara holds onto Keith like a lifeline. At first.
There is something about this author's voice that I liked very much. Though she wrote in the first person, which is generally not my preference, in this case, it worked for me. Amara's voice was observant, funny and at times self-delusional. She said things she didn't believe, but wanted to believe and the result was that while you may disapprove of some of her choices, you sympathized with her for making them. And Noah's voice was, by contrast, that of someone who knows precisely what he wants, and that getting it will not be easy. While Amara was determined to lie to herself, he was unflinchingly honest with himself about his feelings for Amara, and about the very real risk to his own heart if he continued to pursue her.
Throughout, the book there were moments of stellar, vivid writing that set it apart from the average, like this when Amara recalls lovemaking with Noah the weekend before their last split:
Then his palm brushed against my hip before he slid in behind me, sealing our skin together. The spoon. The spoon was one of God's greatest gifts for couples in my honest opinion. It spoke of a comfortable intimacy. And when a man nestled his big body behind yours, the hairs on his strong thighs tickling yours, his erection pressed against your bottom, his chest moving in sync with your breathing, there was almost nothing more special than that.
And this when Amara is with Keith in body, but her mind is elsewhere:
While his heavy grunts rang in my ear and his warm breath pelted the side of my face, I imagined a different lover's hands on me, a different lover's length inside me, different lips attached to mine. I rode the waves of Keith's climax, not mine, thinking of Noah.
I think Aja is definitely a writer to watch, and I look forward to reading more of her work as she rolls it out. She knows how to paint pictures with her words, and it doesn't read as overwrought, or trying-too-hard. Easy reading is sometimes hard writing, and reading this book was very easy.
I had only a couple minor challenges: the reason Amara runs from Noah made sense to me, as did her ambivalence about resuming their relationship. But what made a little less sense was what felt like her mother's abrupt about-face on the question of Keith vs. Noah. Likewise, I was a little taken aback by Amara's reaction to Keith's initial show of jealousy. That felt a little like an overreaction, which I wasn't sure was just another moment of Amara lying to herself and feigning outrage to force a rift with Keith, or the author forcing a rift to move the plot forward. In fact, the Keith-related plot twists were the only things that didn't seem as authentic to me as the rest of the book. I didn't need any of that, and found it a little distracting from what was an otherwise very enjoyable experience getting to know Noah and Amara, and to understand their complexities.
Bu other positive for me was that given the relative shortness of the novel, I still managed to get to know and care about the secondary characters, particularly, Amara's and Noah's families. Amara's best friend Cami in particular is ripe for a book of her own. But until that book happens (as I have no doubt it will) I highly recommend this one.

This is my first book by this author. This is Amara Harper and Noah Farrington's story.
Amara has "daddy issues" which have translated over into any meaningful, serious relationship Amara tries to have. Due to her parents personal circumstances (which I won't share as its an integral part of the story) Amora runs away from a man that she feels is just like her father. Someone who is attractive and intense. There is nothing wrong with Noah he loves Amara and has done all in his power to show her this. Amora broke off her relationship with Noah because she felt he wanted too much of her. She is now in a relationship with another man who is no threat to her heart.
The story was engaging, however, I found that I did want to slap Amara for not recognising that she had a man that other women would kill for. In order to make any committed relationship work Amara must deal with her "daddy issues". Definitely worth a read.

Absolutely loved the storyline and so well written.
Author Aja knows how to capture your attention and keep you want more. The characters are well written and you would think that it would be the guy which is Noah that would be running away from love but it is Amara that have all the problems with trusting Noah because of her issues with her father. The author bought out all kinds of emotions with the way Amara kept hurting Noah and herself because she was to afraid to love because of her not wanting to end up like her mother but she had know problem with the steamy sex life that she and Noah shared. The author also shows how by running from love that you can involve other people in your life that can cause them hurt, and they will want to hurt you when you reject them. I love the first novel that author Aja written with author Roy Glenn called Unexpected that was a five star rating also. Author Aja has become one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to see what her next release will be. I recommend this book and also Unexpected you will enjoy both with no regrets.

APB Perspective Reviews :
Aja this book is really good and I am so proud of you. Noah and Amara have a wonderful story to read about and I really enjoyed getting to know them. Sometimes you meet the love of your life and walk away for reason's that just don't make sense and the person you leave behinds is left wondering why. Amara walked away from Noah and he's been waiting for he opportunity to get her back. I have to admit I did not like Amara at first but as I learned her story I liked her more , I felt her pain and understood why she was the way she is. Noah was the person I rooted for in this story, at times he seemed like a pushover for Amara ,but He really loved her , and don't get it twisted he put his foot down . When an author makes you feel while you reading their book they are on the right track ,my feelings were all over the place in this book. I know Aja will write many good books , but her first stand alone book is one I recommend you read .

In this romantic drama, it was the hero waiting for the heroine to catch up to their already fated union. Amara was smart, independent and very driven when it came to being successful, but very cautious when it came to trusting in love. To others she appeared shy, but Noah held the key to her passion and the inner shell. At times I found Amara very frustrating with her indecisiveness when it came to Noah.
Growing up Noah was known as a dreamer for all his big ideas and carefree way of navigating through life. It was a wondered he ended up in Amara's world. His first encounter with Amara, he knew that they were destine to be together. Noah lived the example of "Love is Patient".
Loved the family dynamic and that Noah and his brothers had biblical names. Find out how all this plays out and if you think you would have made the same decisions.
Great read!

This was my first read by Aja, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised to find a story with lots of passion and chemistry between the main characters Amara and Noah. Their connection was so charged that I didn't want their story to end. There was just enough of character development in between scenes to let you know a little history, but not bore you to death. Once the main conflict came about, it wasn't dragged out too far, just enough to make you want to fix it and fix it now.
Truly enjoyed it.

This is my first read by Aja...and i really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more reading by Aja The Writer. The story of a young lady wanting to love but being very cautious of allowing her heart to go there. She says no to love, but her heart says something else for the man she loved most!!!! A great reader on waiting for love!!!! #luvIAMYOURS

You can run but you can never hide!
Amara was scared of love and pushed Noah away time and again! He was patient and was willing to wait, she was worth it. Keith and Jayliah were trips! I loved in the end it all worked out. The novel started out a little slow but I enjoyed the read!

This was my first time reading this author. It won't be my last. This is a "real' story of Amara, who is a strong sister who is motivated and dedicated to being successful. She is driven and committed. As she is working to achieve a dream, she meets and is forever changed by a man - Noah. Her hurts from her childhood color her view of committing to this man. They were young, he hadn't achieved anything but his degree and seemed to have no vision for tomorrow. So she ran... Her next choice was safe (Keith), but is he a good choice?
Years later , she searches him(Noah) out to help her with a project for her job. She has moved on, in her romantic life, but has she really? Noah, now is a business owner and very successful. However, they each know and feel the current and thread that has and still connects them. The venture to make this project work even if they may not. Noah is determined to get Amara back. She is and was the only woman for him if she could just give in to him, totally.
Can she really give her heart, and mind to anyone? Will she release her past to commit to making a lifelong relationship work.? Will she choose safe over what her heart wants? Will she ever figure out why she can't trust a man do not lie?
This was a fantastic love story that pulled each of my heart strings. Well told, a few punctuation issues but a solid hit in my book.
Thank you for sharing this story Ms. Aja.

"I Am Yours" by Author Aja
My thoughts....
This was one of those stories that was a sweet love story for Amara and Noah. This author gives the reader a quite a beautiful story that will keep your attention to the end. I found from the read that Amara had some real trust issues and as you read you will find out why she reacted the way she had with her Mom, Noah, Keith, Cami, and her Dad. The way this author was able to bring out these characters to life was remarkably done giving the reader a interesting read. Be ready for some really hot sexy scenes that was simply off the chart! Will Amara be able to be in a relationship that she would feel safe in? Well you will have to pick up the well written story to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader. Be ready for a story that is built on 'trust, love and much patience.' I loved how the parents of Amara were able to offer 'parental wisdom' that was there to help her in the mist of it all. In the end will Amara be able to 'face her pass and trust her feelings for Noah?'
My final thoughts...
If you love reading a good love story with some real life issues with genuine love then you will love this novel...'I Am Yours.' Would recommend this novel? YES!

Amara and Noah Farrington have a turbulent past. They love each other but Amara continues to run from their love due to witnessing how love destroyed her mother after her father left them. Since she is not willing to commit, she uses Noah at her own convenience until she begins dating Keith. Two years have passed since Amara and Noah last saw each other. She calls him because she needs his help with a project at work. While she believes that things will remain platonic between them, Noah believes otherwise. All bets are off when they are in the same room together and soon feelings come to the surface again for these two lovebirds.
The author did a good job in writing this compelling love story. I was drawn in by the lead characters. I loved Amara and Noah’s chemistry and their ability to know what the other person needed at any given time. The author did a good job of presenting some of the obstacles that could derail a relationship such as fear and rejection. She also touched a lot on the power of forgiveness. Honestly, I kept wondering if Noah would ever get tired of her running from him and their love. Although he knew the reason, he still hung in there and that takes a strong and patient man to do that. There were some minor spelling and grammatical errors but I was still able to enjoy the read. I would recommend this book to others

I bought this book several weeks ago and I've been savoring the moment I could dig in! It was well worth the wait. The characters of Amara and Noah were well developed from the beginning and had me rooting for their "happily ever after". There was an uncontrollable attraction between them followed by explicit scenes of passion that were tastefully executed, not too much, just enough, to keep me wanting more.
So often we hear about the fear of commitment by men, but in this case, there was a focused, determined woman who could skillfully direct her career but not her heart. I got that she felt abandoned by her father, but that was no excuse to reject the man who captured her heart, especially since her mother, among others, encouraged her to be with the man she loved. If nothing else, this novel teaches us not to settle for the one who may seem safe. Surprises lurk in the midst of mediocrity. So go where the passion is! Go for the gusto! Go with the one who rocks your world and enjoy the ride! Kudos to Aja for a romance novel worth waiting for!

Aja's delivery of I Am Yours was absolutely lyrical. Amara was afraid of commitment. So much so, she broke up with Noah, her long-time boyfriend, and entered into a relationship with someone she considered safe.
Noah never forgot Amara and is still deeply in love with her. As fate would have it, they are reunited when her company hires Noah's firm to work on a major project.
I was happy to see Amara and Noah find their happily ever after. The range of love and patience, Noah had for Amara was simply awesome. It took time, but Amara finally realized that Noah was her one and only love.
Loved the parental wisdom offered by Amara's mother and Noah's father. This truly brought their love and relationship to the forefront.
A great story built on trust, love and patience. A highly recommended purchase and a good book to add to your romance collection.

This is my first read by Aja but not my last. I really enjoyed the book,
BUT Amara was so annoying to me (which is why I am rating the book 3.5).... I just wanted to put my hands around her neck!!!!
Amara a hardworking independent woman who is so in love with Noah choose to settle for Keith cause her pride or was it FEAR would not let her submit to Noah. Noah strong man making life work for him through building a successful company but his one weakness "Amara"; he's so determined to have her, so determined that I wanted to slap some sense into him. lol....
Love is one of the hardest emotions to run from.
Will Noah and Amara ever be able to make it work?

Aja, I really believe you've found your calling, WRITER. This book was a page-tuner once I started I couldn't put it down had to finish and I must say I totally enjoyed it. I thought Unexpected had me hooked, but I Am Yours has me Addicted. Your writing has developed with each book and the details is unbelievable. I love a good romance with passion and this was erotic like no other. Can't wait to see what's next from this very talented new Author and if you haven't experience the writing of Aja, you're missing a wonderful journey into the world of romance. I highly recommend this book as well as Unexpected.

I'm so glad I happened upon this story and this author! It was absolutely delicious - I had to force myself to stop reading to get some rest!
I of course loved the intense romance between Noah and Amara (love that name!) but I was also drawn to quite a few of the secondary characters. In particular, I really loved the scenes with Amara and her mom. I'm curious to know if her mom will rekindle anything with her old flame (trying so prevent spoilers). Also, what (if anything) will develop b/w Cami and Joseph? I truly hope Aja will continue to explore these characters in future books!

Noah and Amara yasssss! I love this story. Amara is a beautifully flawed woman who uses running as a way of coping. Noah, welllll, he's just Fine. F. I. N. E. Foine.
I love a story that is true to life and a lesson can be learned. Amaya had some deep parental issues, but her mother was willing to walk with her through the pain of it all. Silence is not golden when it comes to healing hurts of the past. Being able to work this out with her mother and others helped Amara let down her defenses.
We'll, needless to say, I have found me a new favorite author. Kuddos Ms Aja!

I loved this story. It was romantic and heartfelt, a real page turner. I kept wanting Noah and Amara to get together through out the whole story. It was obvious they belonged together but circumstances kept them apart as well as Amara's past with her Father. Keith was never right for Amara he was too bland she needed the spark that her and Noah created together. To me it was just destiny that needed a little push in the right direction. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Great book with good chemistry between Amara & Noah. Their story was very real. Amara is dealing with issues on how to handle relationships based on her what she has seen.
I will definitely read another book by Aja.

I absolutely loved, and enjoyed, this book. I was angry at the male character, but that is okay. That is a sign of a good author, when they can invoke an emotion. Well, even though it was way too short, but packed with emotions. I am a fan of Aja, FOR LIFE! I have her next book also.

This is the second book by Aja that I have read, and as with Unexpected, I was hooked from the first page. With Noah and Amara, the author has created two very believable characters who find love with each other, a love like no other. Noah is a smart, successful businessman, who develops his technology venture from little or nothing to a success, and who loves Amara with all his heart. But in Amara, the author flips the script and creates a woman who is a success in her career yet afraid to love. So she runs from from love and settles for a comfortable relationship with a co-worker. That creates a triangle that leads to dire consequences. Great main characters, and also supporting characters, especially Amara's mom and Noah's father. Loved this book and I highly recommend it.

You ever find an old coin amongst all your other change just to realize it's a special one?! Well that's how I feel about I Am Yours. At first glance it was just another book on my ever growing TBR list. Then I begin to read it and found out what a gem I've been missing out on. To travel the journey of love with Noah & Amara was a thing of beauty. Aja was a writer I never saw coming but one I am happy to have given a chance and become a fan of. If you've never read an "AJA" book, you better get with the program!

ABSOLUTELY loved Noah and his close-knit family...however I thought he deserved better...but you can’t help who you love...I guess...and Amara put him through the wringer and yet he stayed strong and fought for her love despite her stubborn denial of how she really felt about him...I can understand her daddy issues but to keep treating a man like Noah the way she did with his heart fully exposed was just AWFUL...will Amara FINALLY get her act together and be honest with Noah and herself...or will she settle for mediocre Keith?!

Running to L.O.V.E
Sometimes what you thank is good for you it’s not. Keith was not the man for Amara . But Noah is the man he knew form day one that Amara was the right one for him . The saying goes if it’s meant to be and you let it go it will come back . Well Noah was met to be with Amara that is why is was ready to come back and make her is Queen for life ... Sit down and enjoy the story of Amara & Noah true love for each other

Romantic story
While I enjoyed the story, Amara was hitting my last nerve. I was glad when she stopped running from love. The sex scenes in the story was very detailed and sexual.. Its like you were there.. Noah is such a sweet guy and I couldn't blame him at first but then, the heart want what the heart wants.. Great story..

What can heart do when it is broken and feels it can't be repaired? I like stories about complicated women and the men who love them. I was a complicated women #35years. There is a man out there to love you and even though this fiction there somebody this will give hope to

A very hot love story
Aja, I have to hand it to you; this is a great love story of family especially the fear of never having love and keeping it. Each character offered great meaning that helped mold this book to greatness.

Run But Can’t Deny
My goodness, classic daddy abandonment issues! Even in fiction father’s/daddy’s (and there is a difference) have the capability to edify or destroy our identities. Thereafter, this donor/daddy relationships will influence all future interactions with the opposite sex: boyfriend/young men/love interest/husbands🤦🏾♀️‼️Amara is the quintessential poster child for “run but you can’t hide or deny”. “I Am Yours (Love & Passion Book 1)” was a great read yet simultaneously therapeutic. Noah & Amara’s chemistry & love was never the issue, but until she resolved her daddy complexities, fear & self preservation would always be her demise. 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿🥰‼️
