Leo's is a he place to be if you want to find good food, good music, love and most of all marriage. The four owners, Noah, Tyrone, Tyrell and Ayanna Hardcastle (3 brothers & their cousin) are the co-owners of Leo's Supper Club. Each owner has no intention of getting married or even falling in love for that matter.

Each owner has their own story within this book that is written by four authors; Rochelle Alers, Donna Hill, Brenda Jackson & Francis Ray. The stories are full of romance, passion, love and of course a happy ending.

Funny and entertaining. A good chick read with a cup of coffee, tea or wine in a cozy corner or in bed.

This was a collection of stories about the Hardcastle brothers and their cousin. They own Leo's, a supper club in DC.
Each of these authors told their stories in their own way but they all blended very well together. Noah, Tyrone, Tyrell, and Ayanna had wonderful love stories. I enjoyed each one immensely.
Tyrell fell for an older woman. Noah had to realize that he already had everything he wanted in a woman. Tyrone had a powerful and instant attraction to a woman. Ayanna was trying to avoid a blind date and ended up with the man of her dreams.

I consider this an acceptable light read if you’re waiting in an airport or visiting family for the holidays. The first story I read, “Lady in Waiting” was enjoyable, likely because it contained an element of “suspense”, but I struggled to get into the rest. Irresistible Attraction (title is telling, I guess?) was a lot of sensuality, too much sensuality for me (& that’s actually saying a lot). I very quickly grew bored with the descriptions of Sydney’s erect nipples & the heat rising from her midsection🤣 I probably would have liked this three+ years ago but as we say today “it does not hit”. Maybe I’d like it better with wine?

Wonderful A book to be read

I seldom write reviews but I think I must do so this time. Each one of the stories deserves a prize. I look forward to more stories by each author. The story length of each was just right. The characters real and easy to identify with. Truly a good investment for my enjoyment and for others. If one is looking for wonderful love stories this book has them. Yes, I recommend this book it is a very good read !🙂
