Khalil Grey took on adult responsibilities that accelerated his maturity compared to his peers. Additionally, he faced the pressure of being the star player on his college basketball team. When he is paired with Piper, a sassy and introverted girl, for a group project, they start a whirlwind romance. However, an impulsive decision may threaten their happily-ever-after.
I first came across Rosé Dior through her debut novel, *The Love You Deserve*, and I've been a fan ever since. This book was just as good. From the start, I connected with the characters and loved watching them grow from college students into mature, successful adults. It's not often you see FMCs who really need to get their shit together, and she captured that so well — you couldn't help but root for Piper as she fought for her man, sometimes even literally. When it comes to Black romance, I will always add her books to my TBR.
