After the introduction of a controversial criminal justice reform bill, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles grants Andre “Dre” Owens clemency.

Suddenly, he’s forced back into a world that’s more complex than what he remembers…and full of tempting distractions. Most are skeptical that he deserves a second chance, and he is too, until a free-spirited dancer bounces into his life.

Much to her family’s dismay, Natasha “Tash” Breaux dances to her own confusing beat. She’s used to existing in a world that refuses to understand her and carrying the weight of a past that still lingers in the present.

After a mutual friend thrusts them together, Natasha agrees to help Andre cope with his newfound freedom, but there’s a problem—he makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself and the people around her.

She’s the ultimate distraction. He’s the ultimate enigma. And they’re so focused on how different their worlds look that when they endure them together, neither of them realizes the trouble that lurks beneath their budding friendship.

I'm love each book my favorite it still at the end of it all but I'm throughly entranced in every book only think I didn't like was why she checking his baby mama that's his job as a man not hers and he seem slightly hypocritical when want her to tell every one they were together but he couldn't even tell his best friend

it's great I'm enjoying the series

Although Andre was a minor, he spent 6 years in an adult prison system in order to help his family. Andre was enlightened to be so young and his daughter was a smart young lady that adored her dad. She wasn’t the average 8 year old, she too was well versed and enlightened . I love how the men of this series took the led in their relationships and helped their women grow. I’m also happy to get an update on JoJo and his family.

This wasn’t my favorite in the series. Truthfully, I struggled at parts with the story. The strong LGBTQ angle of the story wasn’t what I’d expected. The romance between the two lead characters never felt truly realized, until the very end, and like I said, it was a struggle to get there. Enjoyed the series overall and am a fan of Ms. Lyse’s writing.

I was apprehensive about this book. Book 3 didn't hold my attention, and I wasn't sure if this one would either. But I was pleasantly surprised. I loved both main characters. They were appealing and relatable. I also loved the storyline. The narration was also great!

Better than book 3

Not the typical / standard love story.
An honest love story.
Worth every credit since her books are always at a great time length.
Great character development.
Just a great series and worth every penny.

Best book out of the 4 that were released…

This book was a great conclusion to the Thirty family! Everything was put together easily like a puzzle. I absolutely love the sun series. Thank you Rae for your gift!

Dre-Money and Jojo are my favorite

I am SO in love with this literary universe. I enjoyed all three earlier books in the series and this last one was no exception. Because I know writers often use a pen name I won’t dig too far into who I think is really writing these books, other than to say that if it’s who I think it is I am NOT surprised, because the storytelling excellence DEFINITELY holds up!

I would LOVE more stories from this series, though I know better than to command output for output’s sake. If is is in Rae’s heart to produce more though I hope she does, because I have yet to read such a moving series of complex. nuanced stories about love in the hood in my LIFE! I would never want to be in ANY of these characters’ shoes, but I walk away LOVING and ROOTING for them all! BRAVAAAA!!

P.S. Little Andreanna is TOO MUCH! 🤣🤣🤣

😍😍😍😍
