Finding Azure: A College Romance
Kelz was everything to Azure. Her first boyfriend, first lover, you name it.
After four years of young love, Azure wakes up to a text that shatters her world.
Kelz was done with her, without so much as an explanation. Azure spends weeks searching for answers, but fate has a funny way of changing her heart's tune when she meets Nico Graham during spring break in Miami.
Nico Graham's world consists of two things - boxing and women. He is the undefeated knockout king in the boxing ring, taking on his career headstrong while battling school and the friends he keeps. He wasn't the relationship type, that he knew. However his theory is challenged when he runs into the golden brown painter, Azure.
In a tale of pure fate, Azure and Nico find themselves falling in love in their crazy world. When temptation comes knocking at their house of love, will they stand strong?

“So you’re a painter now, huh?” “For you I’ll be anything,”
Azure was definitely on a journey of self discovery in this self titled novel. As a third year college student she was in her own lane in every sense of the word. She didn’t behave dress or carry herself like a typical college girl. She wore her mom jeans and sweats, wasn’t out here shaking 🍑 and partying and certainly wasn’t trying to be chosen. All of this would appeal to most men but for her boyfriend of 5 years she’s boring and he breaks up via text and ghosts her with no explanation and she’s now adding the navigating of heartbreak to an already heavy college load.
Niko is also a third year college student and rising boxer. In fact he’s undefeated and doing big things. He’s not necessarily a playboy and doesn’t mislead the women on his roster but he understands that with school and boxing he doesn’t have time for a relationship.
When Azure and Niko cross paths during spring break in Miami they had no idea that one night would tie their souls together for all eternity!
They always say you don’t know what you have until it’s gone and Kelz definitely realized the grass wasn’t so green after doing Azure dirty. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for Azure, Niko was cutting and watering her grass like only he could so she wasn’t hardly thinking about her ex.
It didn’t take long for jealousy and drama to rear its head and these folks were doing any and everything to break up Niko and Azure. I really enjoyed this read! It was a calming yet intense love and a break from the toxicity I’ve come to crave! Add this one to your TBR for sure!

Ma’am, you got me again with another feel-good story, that I didn’t want to end. There was a bit of drama in this one, but who doesn’t love a lil drama right?
We meet Azure a young woman who is going through it, when her boyfriend of four years ghosts her out of the blue. She is trying to stay the course, and keep up with her studies, but it is driving her crazy that she doesn’t know what caused him to do this; and she wants answers. Azure was a sweet girl, who stayed out of the way. Went to school, watched movies, and read books. She had no desire to be a hot girl, with the latest fashions and such. She was perfectly content with her jeans, sweats, and t-shirts, living in her own world.
Nico, an up-and-coming boxer, is making a name for himself with is undefeated record. He has no time for love or relationships, but of course he has a lil something on the side to take care of him.
When Nico sees Azure, he is mesmerized by her beauty, and knows somehow that she is different from all the other girls and wants to get to know her. Azure sees a fine ass man, when she meets Nico. But she wonders, what does he want with me?
That damn Kelz man! 😤 Messed up yo good thang huh? For someone who didn’t want anything to do with Azure, he sure was poppin’ his ass up all the damn time! I knew it! I knew that heifer was foul! Ughhh….. 🤬
Young love showed its ass, as these two continued to have trust and jealousy issues. The love they share was so intense, but their pride and ego overruled their senses most times. I gave them grace as they were young, and them haters were doing their darndest to break up this union as well. However, love does conquer all, as this love could not be denied. Enjoyed this read very much. 👍🏾👍🏾

The story had me going
Azure was a good girl who happened to find herself with Mr. Popular. The school jock falls for the school brainiac Plain Jane. I loved this storyline a lot. The mean girls, the sac chasers, the brothers, and the wannabes were all part of this story. The real story was about two different people finding out they were meant to be together. Finding Azure was a nice story.

GREAT BOOK!!!
I didn't realize how appropriate the title was until late in the book. It definitely seemed more Finding Love at first. Azure is young and experiencing her first heartbreak. Her naivety definitely made her situation worse because I'm sure there were 🚩from both trash individuals that she overlooked. But her bounce back with Nico was *chef's kiss*. Their meet cute, first at the cafe and then again over spring break, was really cute. I love how Nico fell for Azure just as she was. They were really good for each other. I can't say I agreed with everything Nico did, but I will say it felt realistic for a young, handsome college man. And Azure really needed a backbone and a clue in several instances. Which is where the title comes in. Azure really did need to take time to find herself. And it was worth it when she did. This was a GREAT story! Justin and Armani were wonderful, supportive friends and that meeting of the parents, well that was surprising yet so sweet. Wasn't expecting that epilogue, but it was nice to see how their lives came together in the end. Excellent book! 5 ⭐️ Stars!

amazing 💕
I loved loved this story! I’m so happy I was able to read this hidden gem. Finding Azure was a perfectly titled story. The growth of Azure throughout the story was amazing. I loved the persistence of Niko and the way that he even surprised that she had him acting out. They were too good to be true but I loved how the author showed the profession of their relationship- good, bad, and temptations. Communication and trust goes hand in hand and these two learned the hard way. This was a great read for me.

I read it in one sitting and was in love!! Nico and Azure is truly a love at first sight story. I love how she put that twist towards the end but overall the story is about finding oneself through heartache and love always finds its way. Excellent first novel!

Such a cute story!
I am a huge fan of college romances! I really enjoyed “Finding Azure”. This was a really great story of a young girl experiencing her first heartbreak. She was so young, naïve, and unsure of herself. I absolutely adored her best friend Justin! He really looked out for her and supported her through her heartbreak. Azure found herself lost and confused while getting over her heartbreak until she meets the dreamy amateur boxer Nico.
I really liked Nico’s character. I loved how dedicated and all in he was with Azure from the jump, despite having his reservations with commitment. I really enjoyed them together. They were young and understandably immature when it came to certain circumstances. This story has its share of jealous exes, and woman that didn’t know how to let go.
I loved seeing Azure progress from the shy girl to someone more sure of themself. I did wish we got more insight on her relationship with her parents.
I loved these characters and the storyline. I highly recommend this story! It was such a cute story of young college love! 🥰

relatable college romance
This book is pretty relatable for a young college girl. It was a good read. Azure is a shy, naive girl who is coming off a break up. Niko is a player who’s not looking for anything serious. They’re from the same city but cross each others paths on spring break. Although they go through a few issues, they make it work. The end made it seem like fate.
I needed Azure to get a backbone but she matured in other ways. I see you Candy girl.
The earth revolves around the sun. Not the other way around. The term is “break up to make up”. Misuse of words. Since the book was written in third person and the story flowed between both characters, each chapter didn’t need to be subtitled with the characters name. A lot of grammatical errors.

Great read 👏
I love this journey of new love, the ups & downs & the learning of how to be vulnerable and truly trust your partner. This story gave all of that. I loved the fact that when needed Nikko gave Azure space, but he also didn't give up on her by putting his pride aside and surprising her at her exhibit. By the way I would have loved to known how she placed but anyway I'm a sucker for HEA"s and these 2 definitely were destined for each other. This was my first read by this author and will definitely look to read more from her!

I loved Nico and Azure
So I actually read this story first on Wattpad but when I saw it here I knew I had to spin the block. Just like back then I loved Nico and Azure’s story. Even though Nico had me still annoyed fighting his feelings 😂 The story was one that I loved reading…the stubbornness and growth had me cheesing. I see that Sabera has another book out here and I can’t wait to dive into it

Cute story....has ups and down.
I love that the drama in this book wasn't too overbearing. Not too much focus on background characters but just enough to build a story.. This is my first read from this writer and I am not disappointed! Read it in a day. Easy 5 stars.

Azure and Nico
I really enjoyed this, Azure was a shy girl who blossomed while dating Nico. And eventually became secure in herself and him working on his ego and pride to make their relationship work. Even though their ex’s were trying to interfere, their love out shadowed it.

love this book
I loved the wattpad version but I think I loved this version twice as much. I loved reading about azure coming out of her shell and finding true love. I also appreciate that she finally beat those girls asses because honestly they deserved it.

Azure's growth was amazing!!
The love story between Nico and Azure was beautiful. I saw the ups and downs and routed for them the entire way. My favorite part of this book was seeing Azure grow into a butterfly.
