ESSENCE OF YOU
Jasmine Green has always been unlucky in love. When she is dumped unceremoniously by text three years ago, she decides to only focus on friends, work, and law school and not necessarily in that order. But that suddenly changes while on her first girls' trip to Essence Festival when she literally bumps into Montana Keyes, a handsome, charming, and wealthy professional basketball player. There is instant chemistry between them and they enjoy a no-strings-attached passion-filled weekend.
While she is content to leave their weekend as a pleasant memory, Montana wants more and promises a future. And although she finds herself irrevocably drawn to him, she decides not to risk her heart on a man who has left a trail of broken hearts. As time passes Jasmine is unable to forget Montana and when they meet again she is surprised to discover he still feels the same. She now must make a choice to remain in her comfortable world or explore a new one full of passion and romance where the stakes are higher than she has ever known. Will she trust Montana, and more importantly herself enough to take a chance on love?

About the author
Tiye Love
40 books200 followers I want my readers to escape their realities and embark on a journey of self-exploration and love when they delve into my books. I have loved reading fiction, thrillers, and romance for years. Although my original (and still) writing interest was YA and self-help books, I received a surprise text one Valentine's Day, and wrote the very first chapter of a romance novel that day. And I became forever inspired to write contemporary and new adult romance - with a twist.
Please take a ride with me, Tiye Love and hold on to your hearts! I invite you to check out my website and join my newsletter at www.tiyelovebooks.com, and follow me on FB @Tiye Love Books, and/or on my IG @tiye28always...

Allowing love to lead
Whew this was a lot. This Trilogy was the evolution of Jasmine and Montana's relationship.
The beginning where they met, had a crazy connection, but life and fear got in the way of them getting together. The middle where they wore me tf out. There was so much back and forth, mistrust, mistakes, fear, and past issues that I didn't know if they even needed to be together because they were tiring me out. Then finally coming together even with so much uncertainty, working on their relationship to become one.
To give some additional background Jasmine was a paralegal studying to be a lawyer and Montana was a star NBA player. Both had daddy issues that kept them from being able to connect in different ways.
I wish we would've gotten more of Montana's point of view during the story instead of the end. At points it felt like it dragged along. Also the grammar needed a lot of work.
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the story.

Absolutely amazing!!!!
Talk about talent!!! Tiye Love can write a story and get you all involved! I was angry, mad, happy at times and ready to cry! I was to kick some butt, he'll at Montana myself. I could have rang the necks of all her girls at one point! This book had me all in my feelings, I would get mad and put it down just to pick it back up to see what was going to happen next! So glad I got the trilogy because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen! Thank you Tiye Love, well done!

Amazing Trilogy
Jasmine and Montana's relationship was definitely complex, but tells the story of brokenness, grief, rejection, healing, self love and triumph. We are not what are situations, circumstances and mistakes dictate. We are not the culmination of our fame or foolish mistakes. These stories were definitely books about growth, self discovery, and love. Tiye keep sharing your talent with us.

engaging read!!
A true emotional roll coaster. I have to admit the constant back and forth between Montana and Jasmine erked me a little but I couldn’t put it down.
This two MCs had some serious baggage but overall they got through it together. Although drawn out, the author painted a very realistic picture of real life issues. From infidelity to insecurities, betrayal and scandals, uncertainties and jealousies, this story covers it all.

Flawed but good!
This story was so Good. I loved the journey of Jas & Montana, their family and friends. A complete life changing journey where two broken people first found themselves then settled into their "together". The newness of love, their red hot passions, the deepest hurts, fears and depression, this well written trilogy was full of hope and soul tying love.

Exceptional Love
Tiye Love has gained a fan for life. Jas and Montana are polar opposites and yet their love for each other transcends the ordinary. They have run and fought for/ from each other fearing that their love was too much. In the end, they face their insecurities and together choose love of self and each other.
