Without Him
When Michelle Johnson heads back to her small hometown to check on her mother’s health and wellbeing, she’s forced to relive the humiliation she felt in high school when she wrote a silly but heartfelt love letter to Rick Green. What had she been thinking? He was the most popular boy in school, and she was one of a handful of black people in town. Back then, she never wanted to live without Rick by her side. Now, she never wanted to see him again.
A big city lawyer about to make partner, Michelle won’t let anyone get in her way. But when Rick has an idea to help her mother out, Michelle is forced to spend her few days at home visiting local haunts to assess his proposal. When he brings up the silly letter, Michelle has had enough. Vowing to never let him hurt her again, she buries herself in an important case. But Rick — and her mother — force her to confront her memories and listen to her heart.
Categories: African American romance, BWWM black woman white man romance, hometown romance.
Author's note: This is a stand-alone story with an HEA (no cliff-hanger!). Several bonus romance short-reads are included with this feature story. Some of them contain mature themes and language. Readers 18+ only!

Completed.. rollercoaster of a ride
Somewhere along the lines the different short stories blurred the lines. The vampire paranormal theme continued. Then you have sweet vulnerable context. All wrapped in what should have been good but somehow lost it's way for me. It's always good to read the creative storylines and yet with the rush to end the shorts, certain stories lacked the development it needed to truly be plausible even in fiction.

The only thing positive that I can state is that there were attempts to write stories. Short stories with not much to them in terms of plots or character development. In one story, the name of the heroine kept changing.

I loved it
I loved "Without Him" It was however, too short. I liked how the characters professed their love to one another. The mom was very slick about her intentions.
