Into Your Orbit
Connecting at a young age Ayceion and Nikhol build a friendship that unexpectedly separates them, leaving Ayce with a yearning heart. He wanted nothing more than to care for her as best as possible. When the opportunity presents itself, Ayce just does that.
Nikhol didn’t think the tall boy with the prettiest shade of brown skin who lived in her building would become her first real friend. Ayce was her first true love, and heartbreak at twelve years old. In a sense, Nikhol resented him but thanked him for changing her life as well.
Afraid to let him completely into her world when the universe aligns their paths a second time, Nikhol does what she knows best and runs. Not far, though, because Ayce didn’t let her. His name should’ve been in the dictionary next to apply and pressure because he did exactly that. Now that he was back in her world, Ayce wanted to reside there and give Nikhol no reason for her feelings to shift.
This is a short tale of love, loss, and the rekindling of what was always destined to be.

Protective Love
This quick read had me all in my feelings 😥
Nikhol and Ayce had a delayed love story because a tragic situation in their past pulled them apart. Nikhol's mother was hot trash and instead of properly taking care of her, she exposed her to disgusting men. Ayce, despite them being 13, was the only person Nikhol could look to for protection. Now as adults Nikhol was hesitant to trust, but Ayce was slowly knocking down the walls she had built up to protect herself.
This seemed like just the beginning of their story, but I hope it remains one full of love.

What a beautiful, but heartbreaking story! I just don’t get these damn women who will put their child in harm’s way, for the affection of a man! 🤬 Ughhhhh………………. Nikhol, a timid girl who never speaks above a whisper, befriends a young man who would become her savior in more ways than one! Ayeceion, was so put together, and mature for thirteen years old! He saw sadness in Nihol’s eyes, and knew that he wanted to protect her! That flashback Broke. My. Heart! 💔No wonder Nikhol is still trying to pick up the pieces of her life! Ayce knew then, like he knows now that Nikhol is his love to protect and cherish for always! Whew…. I really want more of their story, but looking forward to Aseer’s tale! Good read! 👍👍👍

Damnn .. This was a short touching story. My heart went out to Nikhol and all she went through. Her mother was a sad excuse of a parent. Ayce was such blessing for his Chipmunk. I loved him and how he cared and loved Nikhol. I’m so glad Nikhol past aint deteriorate her and she made something of herself with Ayce right by her side. I would love to see a update of them in the future.

I cried real tears
I have a hard time with stories that deal with abuse. I hoped the author would take it easy on my poor heart. Although the story had sad moments, the prevailing story was about the teenage boy who did what he could to save the girl he would always love.

This was such a quick and emotional read 🥹. I loved witnessing the love they felt for each other. The FMC backstory was so sad. I am happy she got her HEA🥹. Can’t wait to read the brother’s book.

Ayce and Nikhole shared a tragic moment that changed them both, and they lost each other because of it. But now that Ayce has found her again, he's confident that they'll get their happily ever after. But Nikhole isn't so sure.
This was a short, but very impactful story. The history of the characters was well written, and evoked emotion. The present was sexy and so very passionate. It was a great reunion and Nikhole insistence in fighting the inevitable was cute, but you knew Ayce wasn't letting that slide. He was strong, confident, possessive and was willing to burn the world down for Nikhole. His intensity was great.
I loved it.

OMG! This was a quick read but sooooo good! Ayce and Nikhol were so young when they met but the connection was instant. I cried, laughed, and screamed while reading this one. BriAnn Danae did her thing with this release!
I felt for Nikhol so much in this book. The way Ayce loves her with so much passion was beautiful even from a young age he knew what he wanted. The main characters as well as the side characters played their necessary parts in this story (although I could have done without a few😒). This was a good read, and I would love to see more from this set of characters in the future.

GOOD READ
A nice short but sweet story about teenage love. Ayceion was definitely Nikkhol's protector and savior. She was the girl that already had his heart from the very first time he saw her. And he was willing to do whatever it took to spend time with the shy girl from the sixth floor. I felt so bad for Nikkhol and what she endured at the hands of her mother along with her many suitors. I was glad she had Acyeion in her corner. I love how after so many years they remained connected and what started out as teenage like turned into adulthood love.

I loved this short story, so glad that Ayce didn't give up on his chimpmuck(Nikhol). Abused is real and can affect not only the person being abused but those that love the abused person. Ayce love for Nikhol was unmatched and even at a young age, he knew that Nikhol was his one. Thankfully they were both able to attain their dreams and be successful in their adult life.

Righteous Indignation
WOW 😢 ‼️You never known what children have to endure daily just to survive‼️”Unto Your Orbit (A Rekindled Love - Book 1)” was difficult to read. My heart just aches for Nikhol. Thank goodness for the Millers. The only stability and genuine care/love/affection Nikki received came from Ayceion & his family. Her mother needs a foot, a taste of her own hatred🤬🤬🤬…how did she not go to jail for child neglect?

Absolutely loved it.
This short, well written love story was awesome. Ayce showed so much caring, love and respect for women as a teenager than most men don’t show at 40. Poor Nychol’s life was ruined by a selfish mother and the plethora of no good men that she had in her life. A decade later, Ayce loved Nychol as much as he did as a teenager. Great, short read.

Where do I start . First I’ll say I love me some Ayce he knew what he wanted an went for it & didn’t play about the people he cared about . His mother did da.m good . Short sweet but yet fulfilling was just enough. One Thing for sure Briann Can Tell A Story Make you feel everything. Hope to hear from them again soon

Nice short and simple story about childhood love. I loved how sweet Ayceion was even at a young age. I hate mother's like Nychol mom. Her type is a prominent issue in many black households. Glad Nychol was able to find love and happiness in her life despite all that she went through growing up.

This was a quick emotional read. It reminded me of “Fast” but in reverse. I love how Ayce rode hard for Nikhol. Her mom was trash and it’s unfortunate that some women care more about themselves than the children they brought into the world. I truly hope that Nikhol is able to heal and find happiness after such a traumatic childhood. This was my first read by BriAnn but it won’t be my last.

This book definitely met the qualifications when they say if something is meant to be it will be.. into your orbit was very interesting. The flow was good and I love how the author went back and caught us up on how the rekindled their love! I would love more ok then because this seem like a snippet. Overall good book

Short but fulfilling
Ayceion treated Nickol better as a teenager than some of these men do as adults. He knew how he felt about her and protected her when she needed it most. Her mom was trash. My heart ached for Nickol and I'm glad to see her thriving. Overall I enjoyed this story and I'm looking forward to reading about the next set of characters.

Good Read
No child should have to go through what Nickhol been through. A mother is suppose to protect her child. Ayceon really liked Nickhol. I love how you started with the present relationship between Ayceon and Nickhol. Then you went to the past and showed us how they met and what happened to Nickhol back then. Very good read.

This was a short and sweet novella. There is so much more that lies between the words written about the past with these two. The tone of the past is felt and the present love is apparent. Ayce is such a good guy! His mama raised him right!

When a man truly loves a woman this is what you get. This book was triggering for me, but it showed that you can be loved past the pain, and Ayce loved her, wholly and completely.

Novellas are bittersweet, giving you a dose but leaving you wanting more! I feel like this is what Ayce and Nikhol young hearts felt upon first meeting. It's not impossible for love at first sight and nor is it impossible to have young love! Beautiful short story!

Nickol is a thriving up & coming entrepreneur still scarred from the abuse & neglect she received growing up. Ayce has always been Nickol’s safe place and protector since they were kids. This short is about young love, friendship, & overcoming childhood trauma.

Amazing Read
Nikhol went through a lot as a child. Ayce was there for her every step of the way. He never stopped loving her throughout the years. He's still her number one supporter. She still battles with her past, but he's right there to guide her. Awesome read.
