Evon Samples is a popular rising star, the only daughter from a family with a famous name. Her father, John Samples, is a respected award-winning black film director, connected at the highest levels, her mother a former dancer and starlet.
It is precisely this celebrity background Evon Samples seeks to relinquish in her endeavor to gain acceptance on merit as a talented young singer, songwriter-musician with her sights set high.
Placed under the Stax’s music label, in the care of Raymond Parks and Spade, two mutual friends of her father’s, Evon crosses paths with the crème de la crème of hip-hop, catching the eye of one of the biggest names in rap the notorious, but gorgeous, Def D, aka Dominico Fernandez.
The attraction between Dominico and Evon is not only immediate and mutual, but sexy, passionately charged and seemingly unstoppable. Evon feels drawn to D despite all of the warning signs, and her better judgment.
As their secret trysts magnify, Evon struggles to come to terms with exactly what her relationship with Def D is all about. Feeling torn and potentially in too deep; Evon accepts the distraction, and encouragement of her mother, by going on a date with the more ‘suitable’ Trenton Blake, one of the most desirable African-American film-stars around.
Increasingly torn between two incredible men, Evon embarks upon the biggest test of her maturity so far - her ability to think for herself and have the guts to stand by the desires of her own heart.
L.S. Bergman is a British-Caribbean writer of woman-centered adult Afro-Caribbean romantic fiction. Her writing has dipped into multicultural historical fiction, with her release 'Becoming Bessy', but remains focused upon the diversity of the black diasporic experience.
L.S. Bergman knows how to write a love story! Again I was taken into the depth of the relationships, expereinced a connection with the feelings of the characters and cultivated an appreciation for love, passion and pain.
I enjoyed reading Evon and D story. They were flirting around for a while. It took Evon going out with someone else for D to finally realized she is his woman. I am glad they are together. I don't think Trenton was the one for her. Put him with Chantelle. Can't wait to read more books from you.
I am really loving the soul love series. And it only gets better with the story of evon and domenico. Without giving anything away gives a glimpse of a journey between a cautious upcoming artist and a ladies man. This story does not disappoint.
