Monroe and Raffiel are at an impasse after they were betrayed by their partners. Both of them are trying to figure out the next step in their lives when they cross paths. While crying in the back of an Uber, Monroe and Raffiel unexpectedly form in immediate connection that neither are willing to ignore. Throwing caution to the wind, they agree to spend the next 72 hours together and nothing is off the table. Who knew an Uber ride could turn into a HEA?!!! The heart wants what the heart wants and Monroe and Raffiel definitely wanted each other. Ours by Hours was a really sweet and romantic read. The instant attraction, the chemistry, and the BDE were on full display from start to finish. I love that Monroe and Raffiel weren't jaded by what happened to them and were willing to give love another try. My only complaint is, the book was too damn short. B. Love know she did these characters dirty by only giving them 67 pages. Monroe and Raffiel definitely deserved a full length novel. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a holiday or wedding update on these two.

Super Short, Sexy & Cute

This was a cute short story about two broken heartened souls unintentionally coming together and finding solace. Monroe & Raffille decided to spend the weekend together, got it poppin’ and made some life altering decisions.

Roe x Rell

Aw 🥹🥹
I wasn't prepared for how cute this was. Monroe and Rafiel met one another at the perfect time. Both endured major heartbreak in their relationships. And neither were looking for anything. After all, their wounds are still fresh and tender. But a conversation and an Uber ride were all it took for these two to find their HEA.

New Love

Listen we really got to experience Raffi and Roe falling in love in such a short amount of time and I loved it!!

Raffi and Roe were both at an impasse in life and while they were both running from their situations who knew one Uber ride would connect them the way it did. Listen it was fate, because they decided their time together would be to help restore faith in the other gender. It ended up being so much more. The sweet, tender, yet rough and sexy way Raffi handled Roe was just what she needed. The willingness to listen, the way she affirmed his dreams, and received (even if was hesitantly) everything he gave was what he needed. This love story was the perfect balance of sweet and heat.

72 hours!

Who would have thought that a break up and a heartbreak would lead to the best weekend of one’s life. This short, beautifully written, love story was fun to read. The chemistry between Raffiel and Monroe was really strong. They thought that they could leave each other after their weekend, but the heart wanted what the heart wanted. Good read.

Rafi and Monroe

If Uber has any drivers like Raffiel, I better change my mode of transportation. It was fate that Monroe ended up in his car. The brother, the ex girlfriend and Jax were trash.

A beautiful love story! Raffiel and Monroe meeting, was it happenstance or fate? Both, just getting out of relationships that have left a sour taste in their mouths; but still want the love they know is out there for them! They listen, support and encourage each other in the short time they are together, and learn quickly that the heart knows exactly what it wants! But wait! This has to be too soon right? Can't wait to experience more of this couple, and see what life has in store for them! Good read! 👍👍👍

The title of this novella perfectly describes it's content. This story was beautifully written and the perfect pallet cleanser in between full length novels.

“The heart wants what the heart wants!”

Short and sweet. Love when you least expect it. Soon as Raffiel and Monroe dropped their baggage, love hit them both in the face.

This was one of my favorite novellas I have read so far this year. You see Raffiel and Monroe in painful situations within their personal lives in their POVs. When they meet, they use one weekend to rebuild their foundations. It was unfortunate how Raffiel's brother betrayed his trust and how much Raffiel would have to heal. Monroe's realization of her past relationship was an awful way to find out.

You got to know Raffiel and Monroe, and the way the author wrote them was superb. I adore how they learned from one another and supported each other. Along with the conversations they had together, it felt authentic to me. I loved Raffiel and his bond with his sister, Eyna, because she always had his back. Monroe's journey on regaining her value back as a person felt relatable. I am glad she chewed Jax out.

Overall, I had a blast reading this! B. Love did amazing with this one, and I cannot wait to read more work of theirs in the future!

2.5 STARS

A very short cute and emotional romance novella between a woman who falls out of love with her older toxic ex and a guy who's been cheated by his girlfriend with his brother.

Since it was very short, it definitely falls into insta-love. But to me, it kind of works. It's very romantic and less smutty. There are hot scenes, but you could tell it's not about that. It's about two strangers meeting in an unexpected circumstance, both still trying to heal while also finding solace and connection in each other's company.

My issue with this is that it feels unedited. There's so many missing prepositions throughout the book. And the word "pressure" to me is slightly overused. Some of the dialogues I also find a bit cheesy and cringey at times. Overall, it was sweet and hot, and if you want a quick romantic read, try this out.

The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants ❤️🥰

Raffielllllll is baeeeeeee 🥰

Monroe and Raffiel needed each other to know that they had to live their life for themselves and no one else. The betrayal that Raffiel endured from his family was messed up and Monroe was fresh out of heartbreak but they were meant to be together. I definitely need more of them and their journey of love and new ventures. This author always comes through with these books that me attached and wanting more!I loved this book and I highly recommend this book 📚

What The Heart Wants

Author B. Love, writes romance stories with characters who are irresistible.
Raffiel and Monroe are two of them. When I say I quickly fell in love with them, believe it! I just wanted to hug them both. It was impossible not to be drawn to them and their story.

Even though Ours for Hours, is a quick read, it was quite satisfying.

Great job Author B. Love.

GREAT READ

I enjoyed reading this story. Very well written and great character development. Love definitely won here with Raffiel giving it all to Monroe. They were both dealing with heartache and disappointment. The way they so easily opened up to each other along with the chemistry they displayed was sure to have these two becoming more than just a fling. I was happy they decided to pursue a personal relationship and one in business as well.

This book is the epitome of don’t judge a book by its cover because looks can definitely be deceiving. Just because you been with someone for so long doesn’t mean you truly know them. You can meet a stranger the next day and your whole world changes. Ain’t it’s funny how like goes around ? Life is full of surprises. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book. I’m so happy Roe and Raffi got the love they deserved and more.

Do Not READ Under The Influence!!!

WARNING! DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE! Chile, I was feeling under pressure and wanted to touch myself. This baby had me so caught up in the story that I thought it was me. Do you hear me? Baaabbbyyy, got me around here singing, "Hours & Hours" while replaying scenes in my head, wishing it was me. I am not about to fool with B. Love today. I refuse to. Now, I got to go and take a shower. Bye, Mane.

This the one!!

Ouuu! This was the one. I loved this story. I swear if you ever want something relatable, this author always hits the mark. I loved the idea of learning to not let old loves ruin new ones. When Monroe said, “I deserve a man that's willing to love me on purpose and apply the same energy that he applied to get me, to keep me,” I felt every bit of that!! Great job, B♥️

Ours for Hours

Rell and Roe were both at an impasse in their lives (betrayal by lovers)

Rell discovered Tez and Nat in limbo…

Roe, though dry, told Jax that her feelings for him was gone…

Rell was expected to honor fidelity in the family when family sabotaged trust…

Roe was expected to stay because her needs were being provided…

Does Rell and Roe forgive and forget or start a path befitting for themselves…

Great Story

Yessssssss!!!! Such a great story! Monroe and Raffiel met at emotionally low times for them both, yet it was the perfect time because they were each what the other needed to heal and move into their next phase of life. Rell's parents suck and I'm glad he made the choices he did. Great ending! This story was short, but it gave a lot! 5 ⭐ Stars!

Rafi & Monroe

A great quick read. Jumps straight into it so hold onto your pearls nix that because it surely is not for the sisters in the holy house.
Do I believe in soul mates, absolutely. If you don't, this may make you a believer. The randomness of Rafi and Monroe at the tail end of a toxic situation only for their world's to collide.

I want more!

While Monroe and Raffiel’s love developed over a weekend it was enough to leave me wanting more. The genuine love and chemistry they had for each other and showed each other was amazing. They both were dealing with different hurts but didn’t let that stop them from going after something new. I would love to see an update from this couple.

Short and Sweet

I truly enjoyed this! Raffiel'ls brother deserved that whooping he got! He was wrong on so many levels as well as their parents. The good thing about it was him meeting Monroe. Their chemistry was on from the time she entered his car. Beautiful story, B Love didn't disappoint!!

Loved it

I truly enjoyed this story. To say it was a novella the character development and plot was well developed and just enough for the length of the book. I love me some Rafiel! He was all that! I'm so glad Monroe had the courage to leave! Loved that she got her job and man too!

Everything happens for a reason. Monroe leaving Jax to later find out the real reason why he stopped courting her. Monroe meeting the Uber driver that cared enough about her well being to talk with her during the ride. Raffiel walking in on Montez & Nataly. Once we let go of the bad, we receive the good that we are truly meant to have.

Raffi and Roe the heart knows what the heart wants and boy did they find it, the brother just was selfish as hell, how you sleep with your brothers girl. The parents were not worth a damn, it was not that serious yes it was your son is hurting because of the betrayal. Love your book B.Love
