About this listen
Growing up, Diane was always in control of her life. An unemotional mother and a sometimes father forced her into adulthood at an early age. Determined to leave home and never return, she got accepted into the illustrious Howard University. Diane understood working hard and making the right connections would guarantee she’d have the life she wanted.
Being the great, great-grandson of one of the most prominent men in the Washington, DC, area, Jared wanted to have one accomplishment of his own. He felt everything he’d accomplished up to this point was because of his family's influence or name. As an undergraduate pre-med student, Jared was looking forward to becoming completely self-sufficient. Being a doctor was first on that list, and second, finding his forever woman to share it with.
They both had control of their lives and thought nothing would prevent them from having a successful journey in college and beyond. That is, until the first attack....
Trigger warning: Oedipus complex, drug use, dubcon, campus violence, abandonment by a parent. If you have experienced any type of trauma, proceed with caution.

Story
I always knew marriage for me would never be to a man of my choosing. As a young girl, I was all too aware of the power I wielded in a world where men were supposed to be the superior gender. To the underworld, I was just a mafia princess. To my family, I was an equal. To my soon-to-be husband? Well, that was yet to be determined. But I prayed Enzo Bianchi was ready for me because I was damn sure prepared for him.

From the moment his eyes met hers, there was something. Time stood still, the world around them vanished, and electricity... instant electricity. Immediately, she owned him in an inexplicable way he couldn’t quite understand. He couldn't escape her. Not in his dreams. And soon, not even in his reality. He was the man that made her soar. There was nothing in the world she wanted more than him. Absolutely nothing. His touch made her levitate. When she was with him, she was limitless. He felt like home.

She’s an angel. And she doesn’t mind dancing with a demon. That’s why I’d move mountains, dry seas, and hydrate the desert if it made her happy. She brought goodness to the world. It was only right that I made it hers, along with the two tiny beauties that shared her hazel eyes and perfect smile. For them, I’d do whatever. For them, I’d become whoever.

Sloane: Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man that I should want. For the last ten years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my existence is of no consequence to him at all. But now, things are different. After a drunken night, and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be . . . nice. Treating me like something other than the embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Titles can be deceiving
So this is freaky…. So this is nasty… So this is crazy… So this is spicy… all adequate alternate titles for this book because this is NOT an authentic look at the HBCU experience. This had the spice factor that I tend to go for, but it’s definitely not your typical romance.

I've been waiting for this one to come to audio and it did not disappoint! I loved the story and the narration of the characters I came to love. Even though Resto was insane I loved every single minute of it! Keep up the great work!
