Good story, would have like a little more
This was a good story and a unique take on a trope that is very serious but needs to continually be addressed. I love the newspaper angle. Having black owned publications is necessary. Actual journalism is a dying art with the rise of social media, so I was glad to see this as part of the story. I loved the characters as well. They were all colorful but realistic. You could picture them as someone you really know. It was also cool reading love scenes written by a male writer. I wanted to see what details were brought out. Very tastefully done. There were a few errors and funky formatting things but nothing major enough to take away from the story. I would definitely read another book by this author.

A quick read but a good one! I love a romance from a man's perspective. I never once thought 'Oh that's cause a man wrote this'. Great writing supported by intriguing and attention grabbing external conflicts-- Lamont's newspaper breaking a city wide scandal and Chantelle's ex-who-can't-let-go. I knew I wasn't going to be able to let this sit in my kindle for long before I gulped it down. Got my Friday off to a good start. Looking forward to more from Chris.

The story was fine, the writing felt a little bare bones to me. You have a Black man who is running a Black newspaper, and runs into his new neighbor who is trying to start over, while her abusive ex continues to stalk her.
