#BookBaeKeyon
Keyon wanted Bria, but she wasn't feeling LOVE. Keyon rescued her and she realized she wanted Keyon. The security he gave to her allowed her to believe in him. This story was well written and definitely a page turner. Would like another of Keyon, Bria, and family.

Love and All That Other Stuff
Girl, from now on THAT'S HOW YOU WRITE! BOO THANG😍 Got me over here shimming in the kitchen. Keyon snatched my soul too, shoot. Got me singing Tina Turner's "I Wanna Be Made Over!" HOLLERING! I truly felt the vibe I this book because it's actually how I feel. Due to being hurt, I either let love run off, sabatoged it, or ran it away. I swear y'all over there at BLP got me wanting to try my hand at it again, and just engulf myself in it. Amarie, honey, you had me at attention every time Key spoke. I thought he was real for a hot second lol. I recommend 5 times. You never cease to amaze me. Whew Chile!

When love calls your name
Keyon can definitely take me anywhere he wants to... including Pluto! He had me singing "What A Man, What A Man, What A Mighty Good Man..yes he isss", lol. It's like I could feel the vibrations of his voice every time.. you know what, let me stop! Bria and Keyon was so super cute together. I was so touched by both of them because I could relate. I'm glad they found a way to fight for each other. A. Marie thanks for snatching a few of my tracks out🤣 because I really enjoyed reading The One He Needs! Great read!!

This story was about a couple who didn't love love or trust love. Keyon and Bria were both hurt in past relationships and because of that they didnt want to be in them. They hooked up once, but Bria was still sure she didnt want to be with him. They end up getting stuck in a snow storm for a couple of days and the sex was explosive. Again Bria walked away, and Keyon decided not to chase her this time. They separated for awhile, but got back together. I loved the characters and their chemistry together. I would love to know more of these characters and I have to read the book about Nim and Dretti!!! This is my first book by this author and I definitely will be reading more!!!

Short and sweet
Man Bria made me want to jump in this book for how she was trying play Keyon. Man Keyon whew was a just thuggish gentleman. He loved his Bria and stuck it out with her. The way they were with with each other made the love and intimacy ooze off the pages. Great job on this one.

Very good read!!!
This is the second book I’ve read by A Marie Johnson, and I must say she hasn’t disappointed me yet. I was getting frustrated with Bria for a second, like girl if you don’t love on Keyon😒 I’m glad they got it together though. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Dope
I think I love Key more than I loved Dretti. The couple were so perfectly imperfect for one another and I love it. Even though it was a novella i still got the full reading experience as if it were a 400 page novel. Great read, great love story

LOVED IT
Great story about Bria and Key finally opening their hearts to one another and giving love a try. But when you've gone through heartache, all trust is gone. I loved how they had Nim and Andretti as good support systems to lean on and guide them in the right direction. Great story of finding love again.

Enjoyable story as Bria gave Keyon a run for his money when it came to loving & leaving. Storyline was impressive as it showed the changes & growth in the characters during this short read. Appearances from Andretti & Nim helped the story come full circle

Loved this couple
A few times I thought I was not going to get a real deal happy for now couple at the end of their story. Keyon and Bria worked my nerves with the back and forth. But... The intimate scenes made up for their indecisiveness. I liked the way the story had real life issues couples suffer through without all the unnecessary belaboring. At the end of their story, I felt fulfilled by their relationship. 4.85 Stars.

The one he needs
Bria was about to lose out on that good thing being stubborn Key wasn't a saint but he cared for Bria in his own way and it was no changing it until they spent time together in the snow storm. This one goes down as a great love story what if you didnt take a chance on what was meant to be. Glad to hear about Nim and Dretti as well. A Marie keep doing what you are doing.

Amazing
Bria was stubborn as I don’t know what. She was against love in the beginning.Key was over the games and was about to end it. I’m glad Bria came to her senses before losing Keyon. They both was the one to love each other. And their relationship blossom into something beautiful. A.Marie definitely don’t disappoint you with her Great Books.

Very good
Man bria was a crazy ass girl who lived like the guys hit it and quit it. Key was who she needed to get her mind altogether. He's been after her since dretti and girlfriend met in the last book. I do hope in the future she becomes a mrs. And they move in together. Great book to read.

Key& Bri
A match made in heaven. So glad Keyon didn’t give up on. Fiat. He encouraged her to let go of the hurt and love again.
He stepped up and handled both Exe’s and didn’t allow her any stress. A good love story.

Perfect
Key and Bria were exactly what each other needed. Key was the perfect mix of pretty boy and gangster. Bria needed his disposition to heal her past hurts. Great love story!

Great read
Keyonnnnn!!! He is everything, bc I'm really thinking about moving to Nebraska to find him. He is by far my favorite make character from A.marie. I love the character development from Bria and how she actually took a chance on loving again. The story has so many lessons and hidden gems that everyone can relate to. Love it
