Until We Get It Right
Certified loctician and salon owner, Nani Sanchez, is good without love. After parting ways with her high school sweetheart, she has decided relationships are not for her. Instead, she’ll fulfill her physical needs with whomever she chooses, whenever she chooses, and always on her terms. However, when her old flame reignites her fire, letting go takes on a whole new meaning.
Romello Malone is a serial entrepreneur. With several businesses under his belt, and being a present father, he has little time to entertain dating. Yet, when he reconnects with the girl he let get away, time becomes still and his love is certain. If only he could find a way to mend her heart, especially when he was the one to break it.
Will Romello be given a second chance at love? Can Nani forgive the man who she’s worked to forget? Beneath the scabs, have the old wounds of their hearts healed or festered?

The execution of this second chance romance was THE bomb!!! Romello and Nani had their stuff with them, but love truly conquered all.
There was a misunderstanding that took place but IMO it was needed so they could grow. This will not be the last time I read Ms. Collier, I can’t wait to see what’s next 🥰
I loved everything about how their story was told!!!

Unexpected treat
I was not expecting this story for a first read for this writer. The story was a second chance romance for a broken couple. They were able to piece the low back together to love again. A good read.

Refreshing yet emotional read
This is my first read by this author and I enjoyed it. This book gave me the right dose of drama and intimacy. This couple kept missing the mark until they got it right. I will definitely check out more from this author.

Definitely an enjoyable storyline with highs and lows. Nani was just pushing through and keeping her feelings in a bubble. Mello stepped up and took care of his responsibilities. But ain't no fun when the rabbit has the gun and you can't handle being the target. Glad Mello and Nani were able to see it through to the end.

Second chance love
I’m all for a second chance love story but I don’t like how some authors write about these ‘men’ - they do the women wrong, try ‘hard’ to get them back, the woman makes a mistake (if that, and in this case a misunderstanding) and now she’s the bad guy and has to figure out a way to make it right - I lost interest at that point, it just screamed DOUBLE STANDARDS. But overall I am glad that they got their HEA

The relationship in this book was so ✨toxic✨

***Might contain spoilers*** (1.5 stars)
My rating for this book has nothing to do with the way it was written, the author or anything else besides Ramello. Because to me, he was a big NO!
Romello did something that completely broke Nani's heart. She had to go to therapy to deal with everything. Nani and Romello haven't seen or talked to each other for 5 years. And now, after 5 years he wants to make things right and get what he thinks is "his". At first Nani didn't want anything to do with Romello. Which I understood and supported, because, seriously, he was full of shit. But he managed to get back in Nani's life, she was willing to give them another chance after he fucked up. I don't know if I could do it. But "love is love", and "the heart wants what it wants", right?
So, because of a misunderstanding, Romello gets angry and leaves and wants nothing to do with Nani. According to him, she has made it clear that she had moved on. I was confused because, I don't think she did that. If one thing was clear, it was that Nani was stuck in her feeling for Romello and could not move on. They weren't even back together for a full fucking day and he was acting like she played him? When all he needed to do was, stop being immature and use his brain to realize that him getting angry did not make sense and let Nani explain. And honestly, there wasn't much to explain. And then Romello started acting like Nani betrayed him and she had to go and apologize. WTF! He did not deserve that. She had nothing to apologize for. They just got back together, and it wasn't even clear because they didn't have the conversation about how they were going to move forward yet, and he was acting like that? Pissed me off. (I know it is just a book, but...).
So basically, he had his chance with her, fucked it up. She left, tried to heal, and then he just pops up, begs her for another chance, she gives in and then he gets mad because of a misunderstanding and leaves her. Then now, she is supposedly the one in the wrong, begging him for a chance to explain. Stupid.
I won't even go into details about the other issues I had with this book. Romello was enough.

Until we get it right
I enjoyed this story for the most part although some of the details seemed to be contradictory at times, they were minor details that didn’t take away from the story. I’m glad these two finally communicated so they could get back on track and were determined to keep working on them until they got it right. Both Romello and Nani hurt the other but their true unconditional love for each other prevailed. I didn’t like how Nani treated Black because had it been vice versa Nani would have likely acted a fool, but seeing those glimpses of Black has me wanting to read his story.
I would recommend this book but would also advise that this book was a re-release and didn’t appear to have been re-edited from the initial release so there are some minor issues but again not enough to take away from enjoying the book.

Until We Get It Right
What a great debut from this author. " Until We Get It Right" follows the story of Nani and Remello two soulmate driven apart by one partner betyral. As we begin this story its happen to be five years later and one text from the pass set these two on a quest of forgiveness, understanding, and redemption.
I thought the story was on point although I didn't quite understand Remello reactions to when Nani's sex partner show up. Thought the way in which he pulled all the way back after literally trying to get a second chance with Nani had me questioning him. I wish that we got see more of how Nani and Mello son RJ bond kinda of develop. Overall again this was a really entertaining read and I'm glad that the couple "Got It Right"

Until We Get It Right
Oh my this will not be my last read from Ms. Crystal. This was a well written story of two souls, Romello and Nani trying to get it right. It was an emotional read at times but rejuvenation was not far behind. It was a realistic read with real issues. The importance of seeking therapy being one of them. It was inspiring too.
This drew me in and captured my attention. The characters were so well developed. The shenanigans of Nani's best friend, Asha was too funny. I could vividy picture Lil RJ at the wedding proposal. Excellent storyline.
Eager to read more from this author!

Second Chances!!!
Nani and Romello was once a couple in love, but after the ultimate betrayal by Romello, Nani walked out. Years later, on Nani bday, Romello reaches out and this brings up old feelings that Nani thought were gone. Realizing he still loves Nani and wants her back, Romello tries to make amends with Nani, but she is not interested. Romello and Nani both want the same thing, but the timing seems to not be right. Months later, they find their way. This was a quick read of a second chance love. Nani and Romello had history and they started their love affair at a young age, but circumstances got in the way. I loved how Nani and Romello didn't rush getting back together and worked out their own issues with each other and their past. This was a new author to me and I will be checking out her catalog!!!

Wow
Until we get it right. FANTASTIC when two people love each other there is no time limit on how long you will work on getting your relationship in a good place. That's what happened with Nani and Romello. They worked on each other individually before coming back together. Relationships require work. My husband and I had a problem a few years ago but we put in the work, counseling, praying individually and as a couple. We got back on track and our marriage is so much stronger. Editing was great. Kudos to the author👏👏👏👏

I was very apprehensive about Nani taking Melo back until he discovered Black and got a dose of his own medicine. It was selfish of him to think she was sitting around waiting whether she liked Black or not. I didn't want her to give in just because he was getting karma and discovered the grass wasn't so green on the other side but him seeing how she felt was needed. I don't think Nani was in the wrong for having a situationship because it had been 2 years and she hadn't healed from heartbreak. Maturity is needed to have a real healthy relationship so I'm glad they could finally get it right

I kept singing that song in my head throughout reading this
This story spoke on forgiveness of others and ourselves, knowing when to fight for what you want and learning when to let it go. Noni and Mello both made mistakes. I loved how Mello and Noni took ownership of their mistakes. I loved seeing therapy as a part of working towards healing yourself. This was a great love story.

Nice BLP debut
This BLP debut was really good. Aside from being well written, the storyline kept me intrigued. I went from wondering what was so bad that caused their separation to looking at Mello like how dare he pursue her again to being ok with a reunion and back to looking at Mello sideways lol!

Bump in the roads cause these two love birds to call it quits . Will they find their way back to each other or call it quits again. Hit the button to find out.

Good love story
I enjoyed the characters complexity, the twist and turns to the happy ever after. My only problem is the use of 'the N word '. If we as a people continue to use that word as though it is a joke and a friendly way to greet each other, then that word will never the nature death that it should. Stop using it in speech or print.

Good read
As an avid reader of African American urban fiction, I found this novel to be excellent. It didn’t drag, it had a good plot, good characters, and good sex scenes. Most importantly the author made you care about what happened to her characters. That is vital for books of this particular genre. I would recommend this novel highly. I look forward to her next work.

Right on Time
This story was right on time for me. True love isn't complicated its the people whom complicate the situation. If we slow down and assess the problems we have, we just might get it right the first time around. Great story, it melted my heart.

Timing…The Right Time
Romello and Nani have loved one another forever but the time was never right. After much heartbreak and loss of trust, the reconnect. This was powerful…working through the hurt, fear, repairing mistrust. It’s a lot of work and makes you question yourself!

The book was well written and I love some of the sex scenes and all that. But I problem is that I was unable to connect with any of the characters. Like I really tried but nothing appealed to me to care about their struggle or issues

Enjoyed the journey
This was such a good book. I enjoyed the journey Nani and Mello went on. I felt every emotion. Kudos to you Sis for such a great debut!
