Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Shanora Williams comes a forbidden romance about a college woman who helplessly falls for her best friend's father.

Dear Mr. Black,

I know you were hurting. I heard your cries for help. I wished over and over again that I could make it better, but as you stated, I was too inexperienced; too good for someone as bad as you. Perhaps you were right, but it didn't matter because what I did know was that I loved the way you felt - loved the way you smelled. I loved how hard you got for me, and when you called me your Little Knight. I had been madly in love with you ever since I was 12 years old, but I shouldn't have been. My best friend - your daughter - Isabelle would have hated it. I couldn't afford to lose her. Besides, you two had already lost enough. Losing Mrs. Black was the epitome. It's me, Chloe Knight. I wanted to be there for you no matter what, but Isabelle needed me, too, and she would have hated me if she ever found out I was sleeping with her father.

Dear Mr. Black was formerly titled the number one best seller, Tainted Black.

Loved it!!!

This book was worth it to me. To each his own. I love it!! After you get into it and get the gist of the storyline you will undoubtedly fall in love with the story. There are no words to explain the chemistry between Theo and Chloe. Honestly I’d LOVE to see this book as a motion picture. Well done Ms Williams and a job well done to the narrators Honey and Cary.

OMG!!!

This book is great! Although an older man fell in love with a younger woman, their love story was amazing. I like to have not listened to the book because of some of the reviews but I’m so glad I did. This book had me hooked!!

Great

I really liked this book and would recommend it . I wish this book was a movie or TV show. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines.

Chole fell hard and quick for the two men in her young adult life. Issie should have chilled.She said she wanted her dad happy.

I knew the owner of the house would be Mr. Black or Issie. I thought Sterling was going to be the caretaker and Mr. Knight's love child.

Slow

Interesting Lolita premise and great promise initially but in the end the story moved too slowly. Could not finish.

The female narrator was not very good, monotone and using almost the same voice for each character. The male narrator was great.

Tainted love. Mr.Black

This romance was full of what ifs , should of , could've and would've. Had a plot twist I didn't see coming. I would recommend.

Loved it!!!!

Besides actually getting this audiobook my advice would be to listen at 1.3x or 1.4x speed. I read some reviews that said the female narrator wasn’t the best but I like both narrators much better when I sped the book up. I didn’t know that this book had a follow up book and when I saw that it I was so HAPPY. Both were great

Masterful! please ignore some the biased reviews!

This was a realy great read. You just have to keep in mind, that its also a TABOO story!!!! so if you don't like that kind of thing, you can't just say its a bad book because your simply not into the dame style. If you don't like the fact that she's young dealing with an older man, just don't purchase it, and don't read it, It's just that simple. I like the way the author and the amazing voice actors did such a good job at making it sexy instead of cringe worthy. I'm also happy that the time frame is a bit longer than most, so the story is more gradual and believable, but strangely, I don't feel like there's too much fluff in between the plot lines. Shanora Williams makes some interesting story lines that don't bore me to tears and I'm diggin it. 5 stars!
