About this listen
Couri Mitchell:
August Hanson was the silent type, the kind who spoke through his actions and not his words. He possessed enough power to make me feel safe and secure. I was ready to open up and share the parts of myself I’d never shared with another, and then I got hit with a truth that changed everything. There was a slight chance he’d still want me, only he had to accept our baby, too.
August Hanson:
Couri Mitchell was my type, the kind you married the first chance you got. She possessed enough power to silence the chaos around me. I was ready to grab ahold of her and never let go, and then I got hit with a truth that changed everything. There was a slight chance she’d still want me, only she had to accept my daughter, too.

Angie is taking a serious break from dating. At least, she thought she was until she comes across the finest man she’s ever seen — the new handyman in her building. Angie knows what she wants in a man, and Law doesn't seem to be it. But that doesn’t mean she can’t get to know him, right? Law is focused on rebuilding his life as a free man. That rebuild doesn’t include getting involved with anyone, especially not the bougie girl at his job who always needs something fixed.

Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination. He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I'd sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own thriving businesses, and self-obtained wealth. However, the Ellis family was known for their long underbelly ruling of the state of New Jersey.

Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination. He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I'd sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own thriving businesses, and self-obtained wealth. However, the Ellis family was known for their long underbelly ruling of the state of New Jersey.

Koda Perry is a self-made millionaire who can't seem to form his own identity as anything other than a spoiled rich kid. Determined to build his own legacy, he branched out on his own, built a company from the ground up, and became a millionaire before the age of thirty—but for his billionaire father, that's not good enough. In his mother's eyes, Koda's life will never be complete until he gets married and has kids. All Koda wants to do is live his life the way he sees fit on his own terms.

I believe this is literally the first review I’ve ever done on a book, and I’ve listened to at least 100 different titles. This book was AMAZINGGGGGG! From start to finish I loved every single second! I laughed, I cried, I blushed lol. It was everything and I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Whew! So emotional!
This was a beautifully written emotional rollercoaster. Mature, thoughtful, loving, real. The narrators really brought all the characters to life. This is definitely one of the best romances I’ve listened to in some time. Loved it.

Great Read/Listen
I loved this book from beginning to end. I'm not sure if there will be a 2 book but it's not needed. This book is complete and didn't leave me wanting more or wondering what's next. Narrators were great.

Good read!!
It was a good story. Just wished it would have gave more context for what was going to happen if this was just book 1. I feel like this was end of the story line.

I cant say enough good things
Like I said, I cant say enough good things about this book. It’s literally EVERYTHING, I didn’t think I needed or wanted to hear. How so everrrr, if you are on the fence about this book. Let me ease your mind, if you love romance, hot sex, strong lending male characters and strong Black Woman characters, who are not so broken they can’t see their own brokenness. This is the book for you, it’s worth the credit. This book will be my go to, when I need to hear true love over and over again.
