Uptempo: A Novel

by Nakia Johnson

It's Friday night and Bryon Jordan, an overworked African-American professional, is out of his element but looking hot. He's lounging at the bar of Sutra, a club thumping with bass-heavy music, dripping with beautiful women, and whose name alone implies sex appeal. After throwing back one too many drinks, Bryon finds himself in the arms of a stunning young stranger who unearths a side of him he'd long since laid to rest. The night is wild, passionate, and liberating but Bryon's personal hell begins the next morning. Suffering the weight of his troubles, Bryon must struggle to save his reputation, his career, and his relationship with Kendall, the woman he intends to marry, all while facing crooked cops, public humiliation, possible jail time, and ruin.

I was floored by the suspension and the surprises thrown at you. I didn't have an expectation of how it was going to end, but it certainly wasn't what I thought once I was engaged in it. WOW...and just because I've know the author since we were in high school...doesn't mean that I give a glowing review, but she did floor me!

Well done! I'm looking forward to your next one!
