Man of Fantasy

The Best Men #3

by Rochelle Alers

Close friends since childhood, Kyle, Duncan and Ivan have become rich, successful co-owners of a beautiful Harlem brownstone. The one thing each of them lacks is a special woman to share his life with—until true love steps in to transform three sexy single guys into grooms-to-be….

Handsome psychotherapist Ivan Campbell could diagnose his own issues in a heartbeat—fear of commitment. Every woman he meets is convinced he's the complete package, yet no one has been able to get past the wall he built around himself long ago. But Nayo Goddard isn't looking for marriage. The petite, stylish photographer plays by her own rules and makes it crystal clear she has no interest in settling down. A fun, passionate, no-strings relationship with Nayo should be the perfect solution for Ivan—except suddenly he wants more, much more. And this time, the love 'em and leave 'em bachelor may be the one who's left heartbroken….

Third brother!

I enjoyed the back and forth these two characters exchanged. They were formidable opponents and supported each other when they need. I enjoyed reading the series and the author as usual entertained me from page one to the ending. Since "A Younger Man" and three serve author has educated, amazed and delighted my senses. Anticipation to read more books and series from this inspiring author.

This was a three part series Man of Fantasy, Man of Fate and man of fortune all by Rochelle Ahlers. It’s the trilogy of 3 successful African American guys that are friends from a long time ago and how they succeed and find 3 women and get married ! Each man meets his future spouse in their own way and grow to love them. It’s a little bit of spice with a lot of romance !

In my opinion this was better than the one I read with DG and Tamara. I have now begun reading Man of Fate. We shall see. This one was very good and kept my interest much more so. Although I think they slept together too quick, it is fantasy and a love story.

I truly loved Ivan and Nayo's love story it all started with him going to get false opp opening and it blossomed into true love that was just beautiful the best men series was ultimately a real good series and I highly recommend the series to anyone.

Nice story

I enjoyed the series, the brotherly love and support of each one... Ivan, Kyle and Duncan were the "Best Men" but they had their baggage. Nayo, Tamara and Ava are all women who are driven with their own baggage. It's great that there is happily ever after.

[Gillena Cox · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick read romance with a happy ending.
My favourite quote "... it wasn't the length of time two people knew each other, but how they related to and respected the other "
Which really sums up the story itself.
