This was really sweet and it included records!! I love how everyone around the two leads was so supportive of their relationship and there was minimal drama (no drama at all really, just an ex who didn't wanna let go).

Love On Repeat
Yael & Royal made for a really cute story and I really appreciated and enjoyed the family support of this couple’s slow developing relationship… this couple actually had a really good village that truly supported their blooming love story.

Such a beautiful love story. Royal and Yael were able to develop a genuine connection over the love of music. It's a great ode to the movie Brown Sugar. Nice to see the layers of the relationship blend despite any outside opinions or decisions.

Play Another Love Song For Me
The common love of music brought Royal and Yael together but the music that they made together solidified their love for each other. I applaud Royal for standing his ground towards his family trying to make him get back with Charlotte when that relationship was so toxic. Royal found his peace, inspiration, and love in Yael and I'm glad they got their HEA with Reign and a marriage proposal.

Repeat on repeat
Love on repeat was a lovely story about two music lovers and their relationship. Family dynamics played a short very small issue at the start of their romance, and fizzled out quickly. Royal and Yael's love was too powerful to fold. Poor Charley, Not! An amazing piece of goodness.

Amazing love story
Nothing like an unproblematic love story. Sometimes you don’t need contrived drama for a great story. I love the instant connection between Yael and Royal. They knew they wanted each other and didn’t let disapproving moms and exes break their bond. I enjoyed everything about this book and the musical tie was the cherry on top.

Rambling and Frustrating
This is the second title by this author I’ve read and I was excited to find them again after reading The Vow. This such such a stark departure for that book style wise that I’m not sure I’m interested in reading anything else by this author. There was no depth or character development. The internal rambling and over explaining by the characters made no sense.
The characters talked in circles, the “issues” of the book had no depth and were repetitive, this book could have been a quarter of the length and said the same.

Yael Ɛ Royal
Aww, this was just a cute little story. Royal and Yael fell head over heel over their love of music and their journey was pretty admirable. No conflict, no drama, no suspense. It was super PG. Just a little feel good story to kill time 🙂

Rael for the win!
This was such an aging story! I loved their journey from beginning to end. I didn’t want the book to end.

There’s a line in this book where the author says, “Love doesn’t have to be hard.” That’s the theme of this wonderful story. A feeling so natural you can’t help but act on it. A love so pure you can’t do anything but surrender to it. Yael and Royal are well rounded characters, adults who’ve learned their lessons and want to apply them, passionate stars open to love. Like we all should be. I loved it.

The Perfect Verse
I loved Yael and Royal. This was pure romance with sweet heat thrown in. Minimal drama but maximum love and an awesome storyline. It was like having a front seat at a concert of your favorite artist and then enjoying the excitement of going back stage for an autograph! One-click and take this journey with Yael and Royal.

This is Love
Love on Repeat by D. Rose is about record store owner Yael Carey and music producer Royal Walker. Royal goes into Key of Life Records (Yael’s shop) every Thursday to buy vinyls which is where they first meet. Yael has begun to anticipate his visits, he’s her Record Bae. Their first meeting outside of the store is fate. Their first date is definitely one for the books (pun intended). Royal found his muse in Yael, the songs he co-wrote about his Honey 😍🥰 These two deserved one another, especially after what they’d been through in previous relationships. Yael is so relatable, I couldn’t help but to root for her because she DESERVES! Can I just say I love Royal! He is the MAN! He plays absolutely no games and leaves no room for confusion. The way he treats Yael is EVERYTHING! Royal embodies every bit of his name. It’s his heart, his gentle calmness and kind spirit. Lord you see what your daughter D. Rose has done for fictional characters, I need this, AMEN 🙏🏽 D. Rose did her thing, from the cover to the formatting to the words on the page, it screams warmth, soul and love. I‘m in awe! As soon as I finished I ordered a paperback. I need to have this book physically on my shelf. P.s. Halimah, Drew and Baby Drew 😍 P.s.s. I hope Rosé and Sage get their own stories!

Beautiful Melody!❤️
This was a beautiful love story! Yael and Royal are just so perfect for each other and at just the right time in their lives to truly be their best in love. I loved that they fell in love over a shared love of music. And how much music played a role in some of the most important moments in their relationship. I really enjoyed watching these two grow together! Great story! 5 ⭐️ Stars!

Love This Love Story 💘 💘💘
This is an absolutely delightful story of unexpected love. Yael is the proud owner of a record shop (vinyl). This is her baby and she's putting her all into it. Royal is a record producer rebuilding his collection. It really is nice watching these two come together. What I like about Royal is that he is a straight forward kind of guy no game playing with him. Yael at first is unsure of this handsome man. This is a wonderful book definitely worth the read.

Songs of love
Royal and Yael. Yael just wanted to follow her dreams and be happy and loved. Royal found his muse while following musical melodies that lead him to Yael's record shop. What started as a vibe turned into a full scale song of love. Royal proved how real love comes when you banish old love that proves toxic and unworthy.

Pretty Good...
I thought it was cute how Royal would continue to come into Yael's music store and bond more and more with her over music. And they were really gettin' down to some classics! Not really that much drama in their relationship once they finally got together, other than Royal's ex, a slight bit of discord between Royal, his mother, and Yael. Yael's mother was pinching my nerves for a min, but once Yael finally broke down and told her what was up, Mama Carey got right. Not understanding why that lil confrontation/conversation didn't happen sooner. Maybe because Yael kept things close to her chest, like Mama Carey. I would have loved to see what that thing with Yael's father was all about. Like, what was his problem?!
I really loved how Royal always had Yael's back, even with his mother. I thought that regardless of her relationship with Royal's ex, she should have behaved with a little more maturity than she did. It'll never cease to amaze me how folks will overlook toxic behavior of people they consider family. I mean she totally ignored what her own son was trying to tell her about the ex. Anyway, glad Royal's mother got herself together though and apologized to Yael.
Royal and Yael were so good good together, and being able to vibe with each over music was an extra delight. I loved how they supported each other in their careers. And even though Yael tried to do a small bit of self-sabotage, she took heed to her cousin/bestie's advice and worked it out. The jam/writing sessions in the studio with Royal and his artists was another special treat. I love seeing the writing/musical process go down, and gushed at some of the songs that had a personal connection to the love he shared with Yael. D. Rose is pretty good at writing about relationships involved in the music industry and does a great job incorporating lyrics and romance.

Music can bring people together & unite them, as it did for record store owner & baker Yael Carey and music producer Royal Walker. The story is told through the POVs of Yael & Royal, and you learn so much about their craft and love for their occupation. Seeing Royal behind the scenes in the studio and working with different artists was wonderful to read. Yael going through the lack of support was something I related heavily to. I love how definite Royal was about his past relationship with Charlotte and didn't fall for her antics.
I adored their relationship a LOT. There were a lot of precious moments, and the communication was spot on. They always have each other's backs when others talk mess about each other. You see their relationship grow and prosper (alongside seeing bits of Drew and Halimah), and I had a great time reading it. Royal's proposal to Yael almost had me in tears, honestly. You could tell how much he FELL for Yael and vice versa.
I loved how each section was separated by Sides (e.g. Side A, Side B. Side C) like a vinyl. D. Rose's writing is another favorite and I hope to read more of their work in the future. This was a GREAT read! Another favorite of mine so far this year!

Book: Love On Repeat by
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was beautifully written. Its was absolutely nothing short of amazing.. D. Rose did her thing on this one.
Royal was a music producer looking to rebuild his vinyl collection when he became a weekly customer at Yael's Vinyl Records Shop. Yael was attracted to him on the low. She named him Record Bae and eventually started looking forward to his visits. The first time they saw each other outside the store was pure fate. They were both struggling with trauma from past relationships. So while Royal was sure from the very beginning about what he wanted, Yael was a lil hesitant. The pair developed a wonderful bond over their mutual love for music. Royal was royal indeed 💕💕, he was patient, loving, encouraging and consistent with everything concerning Yael. She was indeed the missing piece to his puzzle. The HEA was well deserved especially a lil Reign 😉 😉

A quick read and a love story that unfolds with emotional moments and sometimes uncomfortable verbal confrontations both main characters Yaya & Ro experience due to each orhers mother's lack of support for their life and/or relationship choices.
It's heart warming to see Ro stand so solid in his unexpected feelings of love for Yaya & how quickly he defends his decision to be with her whenever necessary which eventually helps Yaya get over her relationship fears.
The support and love for Yaya & Ro relationship as a couple from their friends Drew and Halle was appreciated - especially at the family backyard bbq when Charlie tried to bring on the drama.
I cheered for Yaya & Ro to have a HEA because they both deserve to win after past failed relationship challenges regardless how quickly they fell in love with each other 🥰

A pleasant distraction
I was supposed to be working on my own book but I got caught up in this. lol
I was only gonna read the first chapter or so but it sucked me in. One thing I LOVED was how open and unapologetically the men in this book loved their women. Royal, Drew, Saeid (hopefully I spelled that right) all were proud of their women and the love they had for them. There wasn't a lot of messiness or pointless breakups, which for me was a good thing. Sometimes the drama or conflict in books seems so forced that it diminishes the story experience, but thankfully that wasn't the case here.
There were a few editing errors but this was a case of me enjoying the story so much that I didn't knock anything off for that.

Spinning
In true D. Rose's style, she has written another masterpiece. This was a great read. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Royal was a determined man that knew who he wanted and needed. He made sure that no meddling ex or his mother stood in his way. I was glad when he and Yael finally starting dating and how music brought them together.
I love how all of the love for Yael, Royal, Drew, and Halimah came together full circle. It was a great sister and brotherhood bond that's going to be unbreakable.
All I have left to say is download, relax, and enjoy. Oh and I'm looking forward to the next fire and desire book.

This is a sweet story about Royal and Yael. It was relatable and I loved the music theme that ran through it. Going into it, I didn't realize that it was a novella. Once I was about 80 percent in, I could feel the story speeding up and I wanted more. Not a bad thing because I wanted details about the characters and the story.
It took a minute before I realized that it was based in my hometown of DC so I could have used more touchpoints to make me feel the city. This probably wouldn't be an issue for people not from DC. All in all, I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading other titles in her catalog.

Royal and Yael
When I first started reading I was a little annoyed. I actually stopped reading and started reading again. I’m glad I did start again. Royal and Yael love felt authentic and I love the communication between them. Honest and heard. I like the way Royal stood up respectfully to his mother and Yael advise to help mend the relationship. They lift each other up. Good read

A beautiful love story!
The love of music and Vinyls is what drew Royal to Yael. Her record shop was a weekly stop for him! They bonded over music but they also found a love so strong. An old relationship and past insecurities had the potential to tear them apart as well as their mother's opinions, but in the end they brought forth their love in human form through Baby Reign and got their HEA! Great read!

Music Lovers
Two lovers of music come together is the bases of this book. A little flirting in the beginning transpired into a loving relationship. I enjoyed reading about different artists and their first date gets no better. To read how they transitioned into the many phases of the relationship was also nice.

I loooove these two so much. Their journey to love is so well written and so organic. It gave me the fuzzies. Yael is just so well rounded and Royal is supportive and completes the whole relationship in a great manner as is their approach to parenthood and the friends they gain as they fall in love.

Love
All it takes is the right person to give you your hearts desires. Yael and Royal found one another through music. Having the same interests was key. I loved how their love blossomed. I know all issues could not be addressed but I wanted her issue with her father and social media bought out.
