Connor
I know what she thought. She thought that she was just the experimental black girl for me. She thought that I couldn’t give her my heart. But, she had underestimated me. She didn’t know what type of man I was. She was going to learn. I meant every word that I said. I was going to make her a believer. I was going to show her that she was more than just an afterthought. She was every thought that I could have and more. She was my future. The only experiments that were going to be between us was going to be the ones that we performed in the bedroom.

Haley
There was absolutely no way that he could be sincere about me. He took months to call me. I was not his type. I was not the right type of girl for a hockey player who makes millions of dollars a year. At least, that was what I believed until Chris made me believe that I may be the only girl that could set his heart aflame. That he may be the only man that was meant to prove to me that you couldn’t just judge a book by its cover no matter how cliché it may sound.

Loved it

Haley got on my nerves. She was just so ugh. I was annoyed with her back and forth reactions. But I loved Conner and his love for Haley.

I'm reading this series backwards, I started with Book 3 and then decided to read this story because I liked the premise of the story. I appreciated that Connor (hockey player and best friend of Ryan) made sure his house was in order before he pursued Haley (teacher and best friend of Ava). Now, he waited a bit longer than he should have to call her--kudos to her for accepting the date. I liked the slow progression of their relationship, which gave them ample opportunity to really get to know one another before hitting the sheets.

However, Haley was so damn skittish and annoying about being in an interracial relationship that perhaps Connor should have respected her hesitancy. He had to work too hard to get her to do even simple things. The stares bothered her. Frankly, everything bothered her. People stare for a variety of reasons (not all of it for bad reasons) and as Connor explained, he's a sports celebrity, so the stares could have mainly been for him. I thought her comments about his truck bordered on the rude side.

Connor was a keeper and he had a lot of patience. I also appreciated that he knew what he wanted from the start and waited for her to catch up. Shame on her for not looking up his position and stats before attending her first hockey game to watch him play. That whole scene backstage with that nosy chick--if it were me, she would have been hearing her solo voice echo off the four walls. I don't know why Haley felt obligated to answer any of her questions--even if she only responded with one word answers.

When Haley disappoints Connor yet again, he summed it up well ...

"I'm not what you want. Go find you a black man you can love, Haley. Stop playing with white boys. You're obviously not ready."

Damn--Mic Drop!

Ava had to convince Haley that she was being stubborn and bone-headed before she finally came to her senses and decided to get her man! Her reason for running in the first place was weak as Connor made it clear where he stood on the status of their relationship.

I like this author's writing style and this series is worth reading.

Good Book, But Editing Needed

I read the 1st book Mercy (Yours) , in which both characters were introduced. When they 1st met, a minor character, Aiden was.with Conner. If you follow the time line, it had been maybe a heart when Haley and Conner ran into Aiden at an event Conner's parents threw. However, Conner introduced Haley to his friend Aiden, whom she already met in the 1st book. Moreover, Conner says he has not seen Aiden in two years when Aiden reveals he had married and had children. The 1st book clearly hinted the single Aiden's storyline was being, developed, then next thing you know an implausible 2 years later, he is married. Lastly, the heroine in the 1st book gets pregnant at the end of the 1st story, maybe 3 months after the characters of Mercy are introduced (Aiden, Conner and Haley), but in this book the Mercy Heroine is still pregnant. In a chapter Haley refers to her best friend, Haley as being married to Ryan, and then on the verge next page as the couple being engaged. The timelines, and grammar issues needs an editor.

I also got tired of Haley's angst on getting on board she to minor race issues, where as, Conner wanted the relationship. This author is good, but she needs to home her craft better.

If it was up to me, she would loose everything 🤬… this was very tiresome and borderline boring; made it not be able to get the 5 stars 😤🤬

Man, I think I might need to start going to more hockey games or move to the country, Tennessee to be exact and maybe find me a Connor…. This man chased this woman relentlessly and thoroughly. He knew what he wanted, took the reins and went for it head on…. Screaming BAE all over.
Now this girl, sh🤬🤬 was so annoying, stupid, selfish, and whatever adjectives that I couldn’t think of goes to her. I truly felt that Connor was too much of a simp regarding her and she needed to actually loose this beautiful person and watch them move on with someone else, that would have taught her to stand up and fight for what you want no matter what… if there was a negative thing about this book, it was that from page 1 to the end and truthfully it was very tiresome and discouraging… I almost, several times thought about not finishing it; such a turn off which was why it didn’t make the 5 stars!!!
Now, I didn’t read the first book, because this was queued first, but now I am very skeptical about the other two because if they are the same as this one, I will have to pass…

Annoyed

I want to start off crediting the author for her new work. I love BWWM literature especially by new authors. However, this entire story was “black” this and “white” that. As a black woman, I understand the
importance to highlight the issues we face especially when fetishized. However, Connor clearly wasn’t bothered by her being black. Literally every other page mentioned the fact she was black and he was white. We got it. Some of the language used was outdated, saying things like “ i couldn’t let my black girl roots go” or “I’m black I’m probably more Sassier than he’s used to” all makes me think that the ignorant rhetoric and stereotypes aren’t being challenged but instead perpetuated by the author herself. Like are you anti black sis? Stop projecting. All and all good idea not very good execution

I hate change ups in the middle of books

First of all I agree with the other reviewer about the constant need to remind the reader about the black white thing. It got annoying real quick. Secondly in the beginning of the book his name was Connor Adams and then it switched to Connor Lewis and then back to Connor Adams. Make up your mind. Also, Spoiler alert. In the end when she has the baby it mentions "his" grandmother and it turns out she has a girl. The greatest disservice you can give to your readers is not to proofread and edit your book so it is consistent. Overall the storyline was good, but please take the time to read your own book carefully before you publish a book.

Conner & Haley

This book was very good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Conner was every woman’s dream man, he read Haley’s mind all the time lol, he was easy going and he didn’t care what people thought. The issues brought up in this book are real...I thought Haley was her own obstacle, yet her concerns were valid. Good job on writing this book Renee Williams but either fire or reprimand your editing staff, they did a horrible job, way too many errors, like reading the sample it says Haley andChris (threw me off), and FYI- why have Conner introduce Haley to Aiden and they acted as though they never met when they did in Mercy’s book, she even commented about how he was nice looking and that she was attracted to him as well as Conner.

GREAT STORY 👍

I enjoyed reading about Conner and Haley's story. This was such a good and lovely read. I loved how Conner fell for her the first time he saw her and how persistent he was about being with her. The only problem I had with this book was the misplaced words and the names mistakes, other than that it was good read. I read two of the other books already and loved them as well. I am hoping that Chris and Lisa have a story as well. Hint, hint. I would absolutely recommend reading this book to anyone who enjoy reading about a good love story. Great job Renee William please keep these wonderful stories coming. Thank you.🙏❤

Connor & Haley

I never talk about the errors in my reviews, but finally I will do just that. I would Louvre to get the job as proofreader for a novelist. The main main was Connor and there was several instances where his name was spelled with an "er". For me that was the most egregious error.

About the book. This was a good series I read them out of order by accident. You know in this current usa climate I think it would be a little harder to live in your truth as an interracial couple, only because a faction of the country has reverted back to the 1900's. Im glad Connor and H as key hot their HEA.

Stop Running Already

The name of this book should be Stop Running Already. I was so over Haley and her running away from a Connor halfway through the book. It just got old. Haley and Connor are the best friends of Ryan and Ava, the couple featured in book one of this series, Mercy. Connor, a professional hockey player, knew he wanted Haley from the very beginning. Even after giving in Haley fights the relationship with everything she has. When the couple is together the story is good. It’s the never ending stream of issues that Haley has with an interracial relationship that just gets old and made the book hard to finish.

Nice story

Glad to read Connor and Haley's story. Connor is a woman's dream, he went about pursuing Haley the right way, and not making the relationship all about just getting her into bed. Haley is a very beautiful, intelligent woman and her and Connor were good together. As a black woman, I understand her issues, and concerns regarding their races, but Haley spent to much time making it a thing and focusing on it to the point if annoyance. I was glad Connor decided to stop chasing her and put the "hockey puck" in her court. "You want me, come get me." Good book. A few name and timeline errors but still worth reading.

Ok read

Conner and Hailey story. Conner is a hockey player that falls instantly for Hayley, she likes him but she is a bit insecure. She is a black woman who believes dating Conner is doomed. He continuously chases her catches her , she keeps bringing up the race issues and tries sending him away. It was a bit annoying. I get that it can be a hassle entering and maintaining an interracial relationship and some books totally ignore it, but this author went to the other extreme and bought it up every other paragraph.

Happy Ending

I absolutely LOVED this book. It was a quick read but you really felt the love and dedication Conner had to Haley. Haley was a bit hesitant with the interracial issues as a couple but Connor was having none of it. He was an Alpha man in my book, showing his emotions and being true to his feelings for Haley. BTW.....I read the first book in the series but I found I enjoyed this story MUCH better.

Good Read!

This was not only a fun and entertaining way to spend some reading time but a eye opener as well. The chemistry between Conner and Haley was just fun to read about and it was at times believable. The writer gives us a somewhat realistic look at what inner relationships can be about. There were times however that you want to just shake the mess out of Haley but she redeems herself. This was a sweet,sexy,entertaining story with just enough drama to keep you guessing.

The Hockey Player & The Teacher

I love Connor for his patience, dang Hailey can get so irritating with her wishy washy … good thing The hot hockey player was all in and he was willing to go against anyone and anything who opposed to his relationship,unapologetically. To him is simple: a boy and a girl! PERIOD!! Too bad life is never simple and Hailey experienced it herself , so she gave Connor a run for his money.
Let Connor and Hailey walked you to their journey!

Perfect!

This is the second book I've read by this author. I am enjoying this series. I absolutely adore Conner! I read the first book in this series, Mercy, and was drawn to the way Ms. Williams develops her stories and characters. I liked Mercy but I LOVE Speechless! Can't believe that I'm just "discovering " this author. So glad to add another to my list of favorites. Excellent read!

I was indeed speechless

Connor did everything he was supposed to do to let Hayley know how he felt about her. Hayley got in her head to the point of almost losing out on a good thing. My issue was with several mixups in the storyline, and their Black and White race continually brought up.

A lovely romantic book.

This was a really great book I really appreciated the author touching on hot bed subjects but allowing Connor and Hailey to overcome them and find their happy ever after. I gave it a 4 star rating because the editing does need to be cleaned up just a bit.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this story and the characters were very entertaining. The journey that the author took you on was very relatable to things that goes on now! The chemistry between Conner and Hayley was intense and smoking hot 🔥! Ms Williams did an amazing job with this series, I highly recommend this book to my fellow romance readers.

Three stars

I took two stars away because of Haley….. she was so insecure as a black woman that it bordered on pathetic! It was giving very much self hate vibes IMO! I almost hate that a black woman wrote this book…… is this how the author feels about herself???? The storyline itself was very good , the borderline self hate….. not so much!

Connor is a white hockey player who only plays games on the ice. Haley is a black school teacher who has a little to learn about love conquers all. Together these two will learn about the world & each other. They will have to find a way to ignore the nay sayers who doubt a white man can truly love a black woman or vise versa. This was a good read. Enjoy 🥰

Finally!

I have finally read a book that realistically dealt with an interracial relationship. Haley and Connor loved each other however they had to deal with the racial differences between them. Especially Haley as she was dealing with her insecurities of dating a white boy. For Connor, she was the ONE from the time they met. They finally got on the same page after some drama.

Got it right!

Love Haley and Connor this book was real it didn't gloss over her blackness of what they would deal with as a couple. Connor loved his woman and wasn't tolerating racism or other people's issues with their love! Good read

Honest

I love this book. My only negative is that I wish the heroine was not a runner. That she stood by her man and just said to hell with the fools. But outside of that, I loved the story. Oh, and great song mentions.

Haley

My goodness!!! She was very much more aware of the race issue than Connor. It was almost annoying but, it is what it is. Connor was blown away by her from first site. I was glad he made her come to him and fight for them.I am about to read the final story.
