Love in the City Series, Book 1

Asa

I never forgot her...Noni, the woman just as unique as her name who never failed to light a fire inside me. The last time I saw her I was in a bad place, a dark one that actually sent me to the Big Apple today. I was in the city to lead another one of my late father's corporate divisions yes, but running, escape, had been my true plan of intent. I had lots to get away from, my sins a laundry list, and it had been she, Noni, who got me out of them the last time. She did more than just fill a void. She fixed my messed up soul no matter how brief a time.

So why had I let her go?

Noni

I came upon him in a similar state before...desired by women. They flocked to the man like groupies to a tour bus and however naively, I had been one of them over four years ago. A vulnerable place sent me to vacation in Aspen and it had been Asa who found me, made me moan, made me forget and I didn't come away from that vacation unchanged. He gave me the most wonderful little blessing I could ever receive, my son Jalen.

Contains mature themes.

Black women CAN require justice....

Loved this story! The insecurities and build up of the relationship was written very well! I read this book second and 'Baby, It's Cold Out There' first and the storyline made sense. Only thing I didn't like was how Noni 'hoped for the best' and didn't want to 'wish harm' on the woman who kidnapped her child and didn't press charges? Often in these bwwm romances, and with this author in particular, the bw always seems to take the high road after she's been almost killed or close family has been harmed. I really hope this bw author doesn't have a fetish for ww taking advantage of bw and think bw deserve less than proper justice...in or out the courts. It's ok for a bw to want appropriate actions taken against ppl that have harmed them.

Storyline

Overall it was good but issue was the narrators mainly the female one. There was nothing there no emotions more robotic.

Now, Noni I will not lie pissed me off through the entire story. She was so self centered she saw nothing but herself not her wrong doings but everyone else’s. You would not forgive your sister but was ready to get back with your ex whom also cheated. Was mad with Asa but you are the one whom lied about his child. I just didn’t get her!!!!

Asa was messed up but was willing to work on himself he had every right to be upset with Noni but still called her when he crashed his car. But, Noni still found a way to focus on her self.

I listened to complete the book but I was so frustrated with the storyline mainly Noni!!!

Plot

We need a book on Willa & Keenan & Stefan. Part three My Muse Now & Forever would be a great title. I’ll be waiting to read it. ☺️😊😉

Second Time Around

This story was great it is good to see two people trying not to hurt one another trying not to fall for each other where they finally realize they do still have that love and feeling for each other great story great performance everything was good

Second chance done right

I love the second chance story without a ton of the unnecessary drama but rather something’s just not going the way you would hope and life getting in the way. The two main leads are able to realistically come to the healthy relationship which is a nice change! The epilogue has me impatient for Willa Jean’s story!

Waiting on Willa Jean’s story 👀

Now I’m waiting on Willa Jean’s story. When will that story be available soon I hope. Enjoyed this series.

Excellent

This was a fantastic read I came across it by chance and I was up all night listening. I do hope we will get to experience Willa story. Thank you

ASA and NONIE

This is my second read from this new author and I think I enjoyed this story a little better than the first ..
mostly because there was connecting parts that made a bit more sense and plus there was more insight about Alec and the family ..well a bit .
But to be honest I was really interested in ASA story more than Alec and loved the interaction with the kids that was a plus .
Although the story could have been better since I’m still figuring out ASA reasoning behind not feeling worthy of his kid and NONIE love .

The narrators did a great Job especially Mr Troy Duran . As always he didn’t disappoint , I felt every bit of emotions he played as this character I felt more connected and he brings Asa and other characters to life .

I especially enjoyed the insight into Willow and her Rocker guy it was interesting.

An ok read for me .

The emotions!!

I’m so glad that I follow up after the first book. This book took me through so many emotions. The highs were panty melting and the lows had me in tears. I loved the actors. They did an excellent job.

Female Narrator

The only reason I forced myself to finish this book was because of Troy other than that I would have stopped and read it. The female narrator voice made me uninterested due to her dull voice, the story was ok I personally don’t like when people don’t talk things out like adults and keep things to themselves however the book was decent enough.
