Publisher's summary

You’ll never forget this emotional, steamy, funny new romance by rising star Alexandria House—an Audie Award finalist!

Brooklyn Dembélé is still piecing her life together after her divorce and the loss of a lifestyle she’d dreamed of since childhood. The single mother’s time is filled with work at the prestigious Historically Black University Romey U. But despite her focus on rebuilding her life, she can’t seem to forget the mistakes of her past.

Vann London is recovering from a health scare that not only affected him physically, but mentally too. He’s not the same man who spent his life traveling the world, and now he’s returned to his alma mater to seek comfort in family. What he doesn’t expect is to be drawn back into a past love affair with his sister’s beautiful friend. Brooklyn is the one woman he’s never been able to forget - and she’s been harboring complicated feelings for him too.

Their attraction is undeniable, but can these two broken souls embrace their second chance and finally find lasting love?

I Don’t Want This Series To End

Van & Brooklyn was a unique couple that I really wouldn’t expected….but, almost from the beginning I could feel the chemistry and the love they shared for one another. Brooklyn is a bright ray of sunshine compared to the self-serving almost hateful individual she appeared to be in the first book. I almost didn’t want Sharla to accept her apology in the second book…But, I really love the growth. I wish she would have knocked her mother out….That really would have made my night…but, I absolutely love the twist with the relationship she shared with her Aunt Brita. Loved lil’ boss lady Bailey….this was really a good story…and of course, A Romey U or A. House story wouldn’t be complete without an appearance from Uncle Lee Chester….outstanding narration from Jakobi & Adenrele.

This book is well worth the read!

I wanted to give this book 5 stars, but I hit the buttons wrong and was not able to resubmit. What a joyous read. Real life circumstances woven with controversy, faith and forgiveness.

The storyline was okay but….

I love these two narrators together. It brought the book to life. Don’t want to give any of the book away, but I do feel the storyline could have been a little better.
