STANDALONE NOVEL - “Forget what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you.” After finally accepting that her fiancé was incapable of loving her how she deserved to be loved, Dej walked away from her long-time relationship, with a steel door guarding her heart. But, being a woman in a male-dominated field, there was no room for 808s and heartbreak, so Dej shook that hurt off and continued to work to be one of the best on-air sports broadcasters that Oakland has ever seen. Meet Saieed Bishop, born and raised in Los Angeles, California, with his mother and older brother, Semaj. Since he was able to hold a ball, Saieed had dreams of being in the NBA. And now, at twenty-six, he’s finally living out his dreams, and feels like he has everything he could ever want, until he meets Dej. Something about the dark chocolate beauty pulls him in, and he works overtime to make sure her heart didn’t turn to ice. Dealing with an overprotective mother, and a schedule that doesn’t leave much time for love, can Dej and Saieed overcome these obstacles as a couple, or is the scale tipped too far against them?
This is another good book by this author. I loved the friendship the girls have. I'm so glad Dej gave Saieed a chance & found love again. There mom was off the chain but in the end she realized she was hurting her son & apologized to Dej
You switched it up on me this time but I still liked it. I'm glad Dej finally stopped playing and gave Saieed a chance. They made a great couple. His momma was something else with herself tho. I think I would of been like Tey and had to put her in her place. I wish it would of been a little more drama. I expected Jotti to act a fool after he got knocked out at the club lol
Now Dej was hesitant to give Saieed a chance because Jotti crushed her heart, but he worn her down. Teyana was a beast friend and I loved her relationship with Semaj, the way he supported her was very commendable. Now Mamma Selene was just too involved in his business but I was glad he finally but her in her place....
Great book they Selene in her place that was great...jotti was wrong getting another women pregnant what did with one on another you'll do the same he's a dog...no he shouldn't work with sid...long distance relationship usually don't work...the death of both parents was real..
Spin-off??? The wedding and how they cope with the distant when they both are pretty busy... I am glad she learned to love again and didn't let that mommy ruin their relationship cause she was a mess.. And Jotti OMG really He was a JOKE!! Great Book!!! Your the bomb 💣💣💣💣💣💣
This was a really good read. Jotti was a mess and Selene was another mess. Dej and Saaied were too cute. My heart broke for her about her parents though. Tey is the best friend every girl needs. I wanna know more about Daj and Sai. I really enjoyed watching them fall in love.
I enjoyed reading the book. It was a nice change to read about characters with careers and normal problems. From some of my other reads it; I found myself waiting for the bombs to go off of trouble for the characters but it never happened. Which made the book feel that much more realistic.
I couldn't put this book down! This was one of those books where it just sucks you in! You try to put it down but you're like just one more page, one more chapter! Until you're finished and you look at the clock and it's 4:30am and you didn't even realize it. This intense love story was unbelievable! You find yourself rooting and pulling for them! I wish there was more
This was different read to from this author. Great love story without the drama being drawn out. Dez had so much going for and lost so much..she didn’t want to give Saieed a chance. Glad she opened her heart. Jotti was an idiot for thinking the grass was greener with Candace. Saieed finally stood up to Mom!
The storyline was wonderful, I love Sy and Dej relationship. I’m glad he put his mother in her place. I would love more on the long distance part in their relationship and the wedding and maybe babies. Definitely a must read
I loved the story, I'm happy his mom or the distance ruined their relationship. I was proud she followed her dreams and still kept her man. Great job AJ can't wait for your next book!
I loved the story and the love between both couples. I did feel like I wanted to know more, but overall it was a good book and id definitely recommend it to others. Good job
This is a great read. Minimal drama and back and back and forth which made for smooth reading. I just wished we got a glimpse into them being married and having a baby
This book was great..Had me very interested...Had a couple of minor errors but all and all it was a great book!! Maybe a spin-off of the wedding or how the couples are doing!!!!
I like the way Saieed showed her that true love does exist. Tey was a good friend to her. The mom was a mess but I’m glad she finally came around. Even though this was a stand-alone, it would be nice to hear more about these couples.
Great book, held my attention from the very beginning. All the characters were great especially the girls, their friendship was amazing. I really wish this would be a series because i want MORE.
Selene was irritating but I'm glad she realized Dej wasn't going anywhere. I like Saieed and Dej together. Tey and Semaj were a great couple too. I wouldn't mind another book with Saieed and Dej. Great job as always I enjoyed it.
Great book i love me some Saiieed and Dej they make a great couple I’m happy she took that leap at love again it was good for her. It took me one night and a little bit of my Morning to finish this book i couldn’t put it down i hope o find love like they did
I enjoyed this book so much. Jotti had some nerves. How you cheat but want them to look out for you and the one you cheated with. I’m so glad Dej was able to move on and love again despite his momma. I’m glad Saieed checked his mom finally.
Great read! I love how Saieed was patient with Dej, and didn’t stop until he got her. Maybe a spin-off to see how their marriage goes, and how Semaj and Tey adjust to life with two kids?
Pretty fast paced, but I enjoyed it. Saieed has me nervous for a minute on his intentions and I knew that he was bound to mess up at some point and lose Dej. I’m really happy with the ending and how things played out on this tale! ❤️
I really enjoyed this story. It had a different story line and it caught my attention. I am glad that Dej finally gave love another chance. She found a great one.
This was a great read on how even when your hurt don’t be afraid to love. Even tho Selene was a very overbearing mom as most are lol. This was a great love story good job.
