Publisher's summary

A captivating, sexy romance that explores the limits of love at first sight....

Afro-Brazilian filmmaker Ren is recovering from a romantic betrayal. Kayla is a Black British artist and journalist keen to make her mark. Thrown together during a string of interviews in New York for Ren's latest film, they’re struck by an irresistible attraction. The two surrender to one night of searing honesty and passion, which leaves them with more questions than answers about the future.

With secrets lurking between them, letting their romance continue could upend the separate lives Ren and Kayla have so carefully built. But can they really risk losing their miraculous connection?

It’s the Female lead

I couldn’t finish the book because (no disrespect to the female lead) the female leads portrayals of the different characters when she changed her voice were forced. It was hard to focus on what she was saying. I will read the book. Jakobi Diem is amazing in this book.

Beautiful Love Story

This book is simply a true romance story. I went out on a limb with this one because I am a Urban Lit reader, but this was refreshing. Although a bit long so much so that I wanted to stop listening, but I couldn’t because I just had to see how this was going to end. Nice job to the author. The narrators were good, but the male voice of the female narrator takes some getting use to but the story is interesting enough that you can overlook it.

Okay story line, she was childish though

I sound care for the female narrator imitating Rens voice towards the middle and end of the novel. It sounded like she was slow and struggling. I also didn't like how Kayla tried to put blame on Ren like she didn't hide a whole major secret. How do you expect somebody to fight for you knowing their past and knowing you lies about a whole situation. He worked hard to win her only to be crapped on by her. Glad they figured it out by the end but I felt so bad for Ren.

great read

I was so surprised by this book. It was a perfect story. I was not a fan of the female narrator, but it did not take away from the story.

I literally lol’d plenty throughout this book. It really was refreshingly pleasurable. A beautiful love story with frustrating characters. It encompasses cultural aspects that I enjoyed. A must read!!

Great story

This is a really nice story. I love to hear Jakobi Diem and this narration did not disappoint!
This is the first narration by Jessye Romeo I’ve heard. She is wonderful when in the female roles. She should never again attempt a male role…that was painful and took great effort to continue to listen. Nonetheless, great story.

Love the Male Narrator

I started this book before reading the reviews, because I am fan of the male narrator. I was close to not finishing the book, just because of the female narrator. I hope that she considers some voice training. She sounds good when speaking for herself, however, when speaking for other characters, mainly male characters, it's a strain to listen to. Overall, I love the book.
