A lot can happen over coffee.
When she was younger, Latoya never expected to meet a hunky songwriter at her local café.

Furthermore, he’d never met anyone like her: a girl who supported his career even when he didn’t believe in himself.
But despite the love he grew for her, Mark couldn’t help but think the extra time with Latoya’s was what made his music career not take off.
So he walked out on her, leaving her shattered, hurt and heartbroken in the process.
Five years later, Mark’s a household name, and his songs are on everybody’s lips.
But love isn’t easy to forget, and he feels it’s time he finally reunites with the woman he’s been missing so much.
But will Latoya forget the pain he caused and let her heart open up again?
Or will Mark find out he’s lost the most important thing in his life?
Find out in this heartwarming yet fiery romance by Katie Dowe of BWWM Club.

Second Chance & A Recipe for Mayhem..😏
Mark screwed up the first time around with Latoya. I did find her a little too clingy at the start but when presented w a second chance she had matured a bit and Mark was in it to win it. Love like that is rare and most of us will never have it.
In Close to Her Asian Billionaire...you put equal parts greed, envy, and a splash of sociopathy and you get Rick & Joanie trying to steal, frame, lie and kill their way to their version of a HEA. But Carla & Jason didn't turn out to be as malleable as those two vermin thought and it's a crazy wild adventure as our H&H navigate to the truth.
Too many salacious sex scenes for me in both stories ( which I typically skip over) & some fairly glaring editorial issues but overall I enjoyed both stories and usually I don't bother w the bonus. Well done.👍

Mark BWWM Romance (Members From Money)by Katie Dowe
The Members From Money Series has been quite entertaining, you never know which angle the author is going to come from. I like that. Mark was moody insecure about his writing and Latoya was effective and great at her job but insecure with matters of the heart. Together they were explosive. A must read but for mature readers. The bonus book Close To Her Asian Billionaire was yummy as well full of action , lies, betrayal and love.

A Very Sweet and Sensual Interracial Romance
Mark: BWWM Romance (Members From Money Book 11) is a very sweet and sensual interracial romance novella that earned a rating of four stars. Mark met Latoya in a coffee shop and they had a torrid love affair before he broke it off to concentrate on his music writing. He disappeared from her life and broke her heart. Years later he returns and wants back. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading good romantic novellas.

Latoya & Mark
I like the way Latoya character evolved to that beautiful, self assured woman… the way Mark broken up with her was really awful. But my girl held her head high and picked up the pieces & became better and stronger 👏
Mark realized that there is more to success than public acclamation and 💵 , he should never dismissed Latoya’s feelings the way he did & he wanted her back in his life, she was his number one fan, encouraged him by telling him he will make it … and he also realized that he loved her.
Well, she won’t be that easy to win over this time !!!

LOVED, LOVED..
I absolutely loved reading Mark and Latoya’s story. They were truly in love with with each other and it seems no one could penetrate that love. This was definitely a good book, and I for one would definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoy reading a romantic story. Thank you so far I think this is one of my favorite in the series. So thank you Katie for this one great job.✍️

Forget & forgive
Omg this book was soooo good!!!
I read it in one day. If you really love someone you will always go back to them or they won't leave your heart. I wanted to hate Mark but I really couldn't and I loved Latoya's transformation in this book. She was always strong but her confidence level was a amazing.

Mark is my kind of book I love it when the man makes a mistake and has to prove his love and most of all the woman makes it very difficult to get her forgiveness this author really brought it when it comes to saying how much he loved and needed her I need another book like this so good!!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Mark and Latoya's story was a pretty good one. Mark did make a foolish mistake by choosing his career over Latoya and for so many years. I was surprised she didn't make him wait longer, but I guess that's what being in love is. They burned up the sheets💋. I recommend reading this one.

Nice strory
So at first I didn't know if I liked this book but as I took a break and came back to read it I started to like it more and more. I upset when they broke up and how he up and left her with a broken heart thinking that all she was to him was a distraction. But their love was stronger than ever even time spent apart from each other.

Entertaining
I enjoy a exciting binge author and Katie Dowe is one of them. Her characters are heartwarming,emotional and very interesting. Their relationship is always full of sizzling hot passion plus each of the couples are believable and unforgettable. The story is also intriguing compelling and enjoyable.

Good read.
Even though it was a short read it have a full story. I could really feel the pain n the love that they both felt in this story. I'm a HEA girl so I was definitely happy about them working through their trial and ending up together!!

Speechless!!!
I love your writing style because it allows so many emotions take it course while I’m reading your books. Your characters are real and lively. I absolutely LOVE everything about Leesa and the rest of the wives.

It was an easy read. The heart break was hard to bear. From that pain Mark got material. Was it worth it. It worked out well in the end.
