Publisher's summary

Georgia, 1995. A gentle push from her sister causes Francine Adams to agree to one date with the handsome, Jalal Dorsey. When his ex-girlfriend makes an appearance, a perfect evening takes a turn for the worse. Blinded by humiliation and desperate to put distance between herself and the drama, Francine flees the upscale eatery. Unfamiliar with Atlanta, she wanders down a dark side street and encounters a series of unfortunate events.

Troy Bryant has spent seven years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Upon his release, he realizes the man he was before prison is gone. Now, he’s everything he was wrongfully accused of. After witnessing a young woman running from a restaurant in the heart of Atlanta, Troy follows her hasty retreat down an unlit side street, forever changing the course of both their lives.

Troy decides to keep her - no matter the cost, and Francine is forced to need the man who stole her from her life. Two souls collide, and a dark romance begins to bloom. Unfortunately Francine spins an erotic tale of anger, love, and acceptance.

Fantastic Listen

Never have I heard two narrators read characters alternate speaking parts. Nicole Smalls and Jakobi Diem really brought Unfortunately Francine to reality. It was exciting reading the book, but more equally awesome hearing it in audio. Job well done!

Don’t let comments crowd your decision.

I almost let the comments cloud my choice in getting this book but honestly I do enjoy it HATE that audible don’t have book two yet but other than that you take from this story what you’d please, in my opinion everything was perfect including the narrators.

Phenomenal!!


I have no words for how truly amazing this story is. It took me on an emotional roller coaster that I didn’t want to get off of. Joan is a literary genius. I read the book first and it blew my mind. Adding the narration of Jakobi and Nicole was the cherry on top for the audible version. I listened with anticipation as if i had no idea what was going to happen next…. I can’t wait for book 2.

There has to be a part 2

I loved Joan’s book “Black” and tried this one. I was not disappointed. Love me some Jakobi Diem. Having two people play all female/male voices was everything and it needs to be done more. How this book ended there has to be a part 2.

Totally awesome!

This was such a good listen! Loved all the characters! I can listen to Jakobi 24-7! That voice! Both narrators brought the story to life and I felt I was there in every scene. Everything came full circle! Shirley Jenkins is a mess though! Frankie couldnt help but fall for Troy! Levi got a story though that I wouldn't mind hearing!
