Starting With Us
Sent to live with Chicago relatives after getting into trouble back home in North Carolina, Justin has made a life for himself. At twenty-three, the handsome black man is a single father with a stable construction job and a reputation with the ladies.
Nia is twenty-five and a successful nurse. She’s been hurt enough that she’s given up on the idea of love, despite the enthusiastic urges of her best friend, Angie. Still, a night out on the town does a woman good, so tonight she’s off to a local nightclub.
It’s there that she meets Justin. The attraction is immediate and the chemistry undeniable. To Angie’s delight, Nia and Justin move quickly into a serious relationship. Ty, Justin’s best friend, is confused. Justin’s a smooth-talking ladies’ man. Why would he want to settle for one woman when he’s played the field for so long—and so successfully?
As Justin and Nia draw closer, they face a series of challenges threatening to end their blossoming romance. For one thing, the ladies who once enjoyed Justin’s attentions don’t seem willing to give him up easily. And for another, a man Justin trusts plans to betray him—and Nia.

Great Debut Novel !!!
Starting With Us by Nicky Jones is the author's debut novel and it was a great story and good read. Nia just coming out of a relationship and is really not looking for a new one meets Justin a guy who is not looking for a relationship and his focus is on his work and his son. The author gives you drama, love, laughs and some "oh no she/he did not. There was one of the characters I wanted to just slap. The author did leave my mouth wide open at the end and I am looking forward to the sequel. Good job !!

Justin was young who was sent to Chicago to live with relatives to avoid getting in trouble in North Carolina. Justin is single father with a good job in construction. Nia is a nurse and has been hurt that she has given up on love. Justin is a lady’s man and refuses to be with one woman, until he meets Nia. Justin and Nia face a ton of challenges in their relationship. The book had some minor issues, but did not take away from storyline.

Great debut
This book definitely left me wanting more. I couldn't put it down and stayed up late to finish. I loved the characters. I also liked the writing style. I appreciated being able to see the different situations unfold from both points of view. This was very engaging and realistic love story and that's what left me wanting more. I'm excited to see what else Nicky Jones has in store!
