Wow! I've never read a book by Asia Monique before, but I thoroughly enjoyed Tell Me It's Real. This author is very talented, and I love that her romances are very steamy and hot!🔥🔥 Nimah and Karsyn are a super sexy couple. Nimah, for all she had been through in her marriage, and with what she was facing on the run, is beautiful, caring, and strong. I liked how she immediately took to caring and befriending Karsyn's little sister. And Karsyn--aka Syn--is sex and alpha personified! That man does not play around when it comes to the people he cares about. From taking control of his life at 17, to being a big brother his sister could always count on, to being patient and understanding when it came to knowing what his woman--Nimah--needed to heal and reclaim her life, he is definitely one of my new book boyfriends.
This was a great story, but things did move rather swiftly, and it covered so much--crime families, teenage pregnancy, on the run from dangerous threats, etc. I think the author did a pretty good job fitting all of this in this book. However, some things did leave me with questions and there are few other parts that I would have loved to be fleshed out a bit more. I enjoyed being inside Karsyn's and Nimah's personal thoughts and emotions, but I didn't think that we needed to hear from his little sister, Kaylyn in that way. We could have easily learned all of this info through the main characters; plus it would have probably left more room to focus more on Karsyn's and Nimah's relationship. Also, there were some grammatical errors, but I thought Nimah and Karsyn were an amazing couple, and I really wanted to see them spend more time together. I just couldn't get enough of them! 💙💙
