Thank you to D.S Hudson for gifting me this book for my honest review.
Honestly, Ramone could catch these hands 😂 Ramone is the true definition of a gyallis. That man thoroughly believed variety was the spice of life and he had his fair share of different flavors of women.
The way the story started really pulled at my heart strings. It made me so nostalgic because I grew up in Jamaica and knew what a change it was to not only be away from my mom for a period of time but to migrate to a foreign country.
I did sympathize with him in that regard because being a young child without your mom is rough but seeing how he dealt with that pain was a lot to witness. Seeing how he went through life with a mindset of getting his while at the expense of hurting others really pissed me off and made me wanted to jump in the book and shat him two box.(iykyk)
Buttttt I am also a firm believer that no one is perfect and as flawed as he was it was refreshing to see him actually put in the work to do better. Life however has a funny sense of humor so Ramone definitely has some more work to do.
Overall I was entertained, engaged and went through all the emotions. This book was real, spicy, funny and told exclusively from the male's POV which was a nice change. I also loved the Jamaican rep because its always nice seeing Caribbean influences in books.
I definitely will be reading the next book to see how this all plays out.
This book was a fantastic read from start to finish. First of all, I absolutely loved the cover it immediately caught my attention and set the tone for what was inside.
The story follows Ramone as he talks to his therapist about all of his escapades, and the way it’s written makes you feel like you’re sitting in the room with them. The therapist asks thought-provoking questions that really get to the root of where Ramone’s behaviour comes from, which added so much depth to the story and kept me fully engaged.
This book was also incredibly nostalgic for me. The references to growing up in the Caribbean and even mentions of the MSN days took me straight back to my childhood and teenage years. Those moments made the story feel even more personal and allowed me to connect with it on a deeper level.
I would definitely give this book 5 stars. It’s thought-provoking, full of surprises, realistic, and a real page-turner. I couldn’t put it down, and I’m already looking forward to reading more from this author!
First of all... the spice was SPICE-ING. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ D.S. Hudson did not come to play.
Now, confession time: I spent about the first 90% of this book REALLY disliking the MMC. I wanted to shake him, yell at him, and occasionally throw my Kindle across the room. But that's exactly what made this story so addictive—I had to know how he was going to redeem himself (if that's even possible - because URGH)
The emotional tension, the banter, the chemistry, and the slow unraveling of the characters kept me completely invested. By the end, I was eating my words and grinning like an idiot.
This book had me laughing, frustrated, swooning, and fanning myself all in the same sitting. If you love romance with real emotional payoff, unforgettable characters, and enough spice to leave your Kindle smoking, SINGLEish deserves a spot at the top of your TBR!
Five stars without hesitation. Now excuse me while I recover from that ending.
Where do I start? Alexa play Still Not A Player by Joe & Big Pun while I talk my stuff.! This story surprised me in the best way. I knew it wasn’t going to be a typical romance but the story of this reformed player surprised me. This man had me turning my nose up at him for 80% of the book 😩 Ramone was into some stuff and into these women! Did he turn it around, yes, but all his actions came and did a dirty slap to his face! I need book two ASAPPPPP!
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. Such a great read. Just when you thought the storyline couldn’t get any juicier you’re hit with another twist of events leaving me wanting more. Highly anticipating a chapter 2. I need to know what happens next for Ramone
Wow! I went into this book almost completely blind, and what a ride. 😮💨 The plot, the twists, and that cliffhanger 🤯. I already need book two like yesterday.
the things this man was doing to appease his sexual appetite and suppress his mommy issues !! he did his big ones and then found love but at what cost and is it too late ??!! i can’t wait for book 2
I can't figure out if I like Ramone, or hate him. There were times where he did things that were unnecessary, but then I understood (annoyingly) why he did them. I really enjoyed how authentically Jamaican his Mum was and absolutely loved the immigration backstory which I think will resonate within a lot of other readers! It probably needs to come with a warning though, because those spicy scenes caught me off guard!! I didn't finish it as quickly as I wanted to, but it was such an easy read. Would definitely recommend the book to a friend! Loved it.
