Agave
Who decides to go vegan on Thanksgiving Day? Charlotte Bryant’s impulsive baby sister, Toni, that’s who. And true to her form, Charlotte is right by her sister’s side to support her latest fly by night decision. In the midst of frenzied holiday meal prep, and trying to be a good sibling, Charlotte is also consumed with thoughts of how to recapture the passion that once filled her now, lackluster marriage. Before her lawyer-husband Darnell started his own firm, they’d had a solid, almost storybook romance. But as Darnell sets out to prove his worth as a business owner after leaving his post as a senior partner at a prestigious firm, the energy he once put into their relationship gets overshadowed by his personal ambition. Charlotte has voiced her concerns to her husband numerous times but has only received empty promises and lots of lonely nights. While running around a crowded grocery store on Thanksgiving morning to find vegan alternatives to their traditional holiday fare, Charlotte and Toni bump into a handsome stranger. Vincent, a gorgeous restauranteur, who just so happens to own a vegan friendly bistro uptown called Agave, overhears their conversation, and interjects to help the ladies with a few tips on how to bring Toni’s dishes to life. Both sisters are impressed with Vincent’s culinary expertise, charm and good looks, but Charlotte feels something deeper. Propelled by her intrigue and the constant rejection from her husband, Charlotte makes a solo trip to the thriving bistro and gets more than just the little lunch she bargained for. Vincent is even more charming than she first thought, and the more she stops by the stronger their attraction becomes. Charlotte is fiercely devoted to her husband but can’t deny the growing attraction she feels to Vincent, especially as Darnell continues to put her on hold. She’s tempted beyond anything she has ever felt before but can’t seem to help playing with fire. Will her good sense eventually kick in? Or will she risk everything to fill the void that her husband’s neglect has created?

Agape Love
This was the most powerful story I've read in a while. The writing was eloquent, and the message was rebellious, and had me mesmerized. Charlotte made the right decision regarding her marriage. Darnell was blinded by success until he saw the light. Money and success aren't always the answer. Vincent stole my whole heart with his compassion. I hope he finds true love for his very own. This story was amazing!!!

Hard review to write
This is hard for me because I didn’t like the plot at all. Since I knew that going in, I tried to keep an open mind. I side eyed Charlotte so much. It’s one thing to think of the worse case scenario before you make a move but to still make that move anyway? Charlotte why? Anyway, the author is a good storyteller so it easily kept my attention.

Really good
My first book by this author and it was really good. It didn't go how I thought it would, which made for a thought provoking read. Vincent, smh, he was probably my favorite character. Vinita was a wise young lady. Happiness is all we truly want.

Wow! I wasn’t so sure how I was gonna feel about this book. I thought I’d be upset at certain character but my heart truly went out to all of them. Awesome book.
