BGBCP - All the Things I'm Missing at Home with Author Nikki Michelle May 15, 2024

This is probably one of the realest episodes we've ever downloaded.

⚠️Warning⚠️ In this episode we discuss domestic abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, child abuse, and a bunch of other things that may trigger you, listen with caution. All the Things I'm Missing at Home

All the Things I'm Missing at Home is the story of two married couples and one hell of a sixth degree of separation.

Staci and Donovan haven't been the same since tragedy wreaked havoc on their marriage. Staci is battling an addiction that Donovan stands no chance against. Since Donovan faults Staci for their farce of a marriage, he seeks solace elsewhere, which leaves Staci to find comfort in the arms of another.

Jerome and Sheila have been in love since college ... however, Sheila has gone from a loving, devoted wife to an all-around career woman. She no longer has time to show her husband love and affection. When a man's fed up, he searches for that love and affection in the arms of another woman.

These two couples' worlds collide, while outside influences are at play, and drama ensues in this sensual tale about addiction, adultery, deceit, and manipulation.

BGBCP - Almost Doesn't Count by Nikki Michelle May 01, 2024

What would you do if your fine professor wanted you? If you are Miss Jones you're going to find out.

The twist and turns in this book will keep you on the edge of your seat and tuned in to the podcast until the very end.

Discuss it with us.

Psychology student Isis Jones- stellar student by day, one of ATL's most enticing dancers by night- is about to watch her meticulously choreographed life pirouette into chaos when the man she's loved for over a year, Louis Thibodeaux, reveals his true colors. Armed with irrefutable proof of his deceit, she confronts him, but the darkness he unleashes will lead to far more than a broken heart. Now, Isis' sharp mind must grapple with a reality she never imagined, rewriting the narrative of her life one twisted truth at a time.
Dr. RJ West, haunted by the death of his mother and past betrayals, no longer trusted easily. His groundbreaking research on Black men's mental health has earned him accolades and tenure at West-Clayton State University, yet darkness lurks beneath his academic acclaim. In the city's shadows, he and his brother Lionell dance with danger, consequences a heartbeat away.
By day, he challenges his students to question the conventional understanding of abnormality, but beneath the intellectual façade lies a hidden world, cloaked in the shadows of night where he and Lionell battle demons of a different kind. After a late-night incident with potentially drastic consequences, Dr. West succumbs to Lionell's lure for "a little fun." He finds himself at Magic, the hottest adult entertainment club in town, where a familiar face ignites the stage.
Fame at Magic comes with its thorns. In the electric atmosphere, tensions crackle for Isis and her crew; Terria. Catissa, and Chanel. The betrayal from Louis was still fresh, leaving her unprepared for the jolt of electricity that shot through her when her eyes locked on the last person she expected to see in Magic's den of temptation-Dr. West. His presence put him front and center stage with a noticeable mask of composure that barely concealed the storm brewing in his eyes. His normally calm demeanor was fractured, a testament to her God-given talent.
Lines blur when professional and personal collide in a heady cocktail of danger and desire. What will the consequences be once their paths cross under the pulsating neon lights?
**This story was previously on Kindle Vella; however, it is not the same story. It has evolved.** Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Almost-Doesnt-Count-Professor-Jones-ebook/dp/B0CV76FTTD?ref_=ast_author_mpb

BGBCP - To The Moon 🌙 by Evelyn Latrice Apr 18, 2024

This was such a good read yall! It's not the family you were born into, but the family you create. Take a listen as we take you back To The Moon.

If I'm the moon, then you must be the sky!

You ever felt like someone was made for you? Crafted in your image the same way Eve was for Adam?

Javen Cooper, knew Luna Moony was made for him. First, in the form of a best friend— the female version of the boy he loved like a brother. But as time moved forward, something else bloomed— something that blurred the lines of love and lover. It was so magnetic, nothing could keep them apart.

Except life.

And Luna’s need to protect Javen.

After the death of her twin, Luna, is left to mother her siblings alone. Barely eighteen, she spends her days making things better for those around her. She’s the fixer— the one you go to when everything seems to go wrong. But who does she seek out when life becomes too much? As if her call finally gets through the prayer line, life becomes easier thanks to an inheritance from a father she never knew.

And when life is better for Luna, she makes sure she brings everyone with her.

And so the journey begins.

To The Moon, is a coming of age tale centered around poverty and black love. It meets somewhere in the middle of black girl magic and black boy joy.

BGBCP - Devout Listening Party Feb 24, 2024

Daddy (Denache' "Denny" Graham) came to Audible and we celebrated as only the Black Girl Book Club Podcast could...together.

Takerra Allen joined us for a private listening party to let us in on her experience choosing the best people for the job of Denny and Neeka.

Take a listen. ***This episode contains spoilers***

Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?

I have.

Have you ever cherished the pain because you knew the kind you'd face without them would be way too unbearable?

That's me.

To young Neeka Perry, Denny is one thing. In the streets, he's a whole other entity. She was brave enough to love both sides, upside down, all around, and back again.

He provided her with all a girl could believe she dreamed of—security, desire, and, most enviably, genuine love, all wrapped up in gold and diamonds.

He removed her far from the course of her ordinary college girl lifestyle and swept her into his world of whimsical madness.

For this and more, her love went beyond loyalty. She was devout… devout to him.

But is there such a thing as too much passion? Can you love someone too much?

And when you realize the person you love, and the person everyone fears, can also be the one everyone loves, and you can one day soon fear, who will save you?

Especially when the person you need saving from is yourself?

Stop right there. I don't want to be saved.

I've shackled myself to him with love. And I swallowed the key.

I'm in this for the long run.

I am devout.

BGBCP - Pointe of NO Return: The Underworld Book Discussion Feb 07, 2024

Papa and Demi wore us out with their young love. We were trying to decide if they had a soul tie and concluded they did, so they became a part of our soul tie selection for February.

Dancers dance and hustlers hustle... Love doesn't have any control over who it captures. Demi Westbrook loved Papa to the point of no return. She loved him for who she knew he would become one day. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Demi enjoyed life to the fullest, not really knowing what the "hard knock life" felt like, but meeting him changed that. Papa, one of the founding fathers of The Underworld, and the youngest on the team is a hothead and loud mouth. If it's not Papa's way then it's the highway. He's spoiled and bratty at times, but to Demi, he's everything. Going against her parents' wishes to see him, Demi allows Papa to invade her thoughts, her mind, and most importantly in this urban fairytale, her heart. Demi was more than a dancer, the Greats proclaimed it before she left her mother's womb. Being the daughter of Dorane Little wasn't easy. Dorane pushed Demi to be better than she was when she danced back in the day. Surpassing her mother wasn't an easy job. Demi didn't operate in excuses; she worked harder than every other dancer she knew because her eye had always been on the prize. According to her parents, Papa was a distraction but to Demi he was her motivation. In The Pointe of No Return, witness love and tragedy collide. Readers have been invited to the dance theatre to observe Demi Westbrook transform from a teenager with a dream to a grown woman with a title, Prima Ballerina. Papa and Demi ignore the warning signs of her being too young and naïve, and him being too cocky and dangerous. Once they decided that they are living for each other and not the naysayers, the couple love each other immensely to the Pointe of No Return.
The Underworld series includes: Please Catch My Soul, Pointe Of NO Return, From His Rib, The Christ Family, Stranger In My Eyes, The Arraignment, Resentment, The Arraignment 2, Redemption

BGBCP - Fast by Millie Belizaire Jan 26, 2024

This is not our regular podcast, there are not a lot of laughs in this podcast, but the discussion was wholesome and much needed.

This wasn't the easiest book to get through but it was soooooooo good.
Thank you @milliebelizaire for shedding some light on this subject in such a brilliant way.
****WARNING**** This book does contain some things that may trigger you, if you do decide to read it please be aware.

1. A girl or guy who is quick to engage in sexual activities.
--Oftentimes used to shame. Oftentimes used to blame victims for their own abuse.

After the untimely death of her mother, Caprice Latimore has to move in with her grandmother. At eight years old, life as she knows it is turned upside down. The trauma of losing her mother is made worse with the introduction of Marcel, her grandmother's adult son who still lives in the home.

Her uncle Marcel takes an inappropriate interest in her that ultimately results in a tragic breaking point for the child. The only silver lining is that shortly after what Caprice calls "that night", Marcel is booked by local police with a drug possession charge. He's sentenced to prison for twelve years.

Seven years later, however, Marcel is released on good behavior.

Caprice is now sixteen, still dealing with the emotional scars of the past. But things aren't like they were before.

Because now she has Shaun Taylor, the boy across the street who will do whatever it takes to make sure no one ever hurts Caprice again.

fast is a standalone that spans twenty years. Separated into three acts, we watch Caprice grow from eight years old to sixteen years old to twenty-eight years old. She gets hurt, she falls in love, she grows, and she just might overcome.

fast is a story written about victims who were made to feel like their abuse was their own fault.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Child abuse, assault in prisons, mental instability, etc.
Some themes touched upon in this story may trigger you. Please protect your mental health.

BGBCP - My Muted Love by Love Belvin Discussion Nov 15, 2023

There was so much packed into these two books that there was no way we could get it all in, but we did what we do best and let the books guide us in this discussion. Take a listen and let us know what you think. ***Please note that part 1 of this discussion is in the Black Girl Book Club Podcast Facebook group (linked below).***

From Book 1: Never judge a book by its cover, one of the world’s most common clichés. Though sage advice, the age-old aphorism is rarely followed. Take, for instance, Tori McNabb and Ashton Spencer, two subjects who believe by aesthetics alone, they have no reason to breathe the same air. When startling circumstances align on the campus of Blakewood State University, the two have no choice but to look beyond their exteriors.
McNabb is a fighter in life as well as in the ring. She knows what she’s capable of and doesn’t want to be tested. Her only goal is to never return to Millville, New Jersey while simultaneously flying under the radar as a small fish in the big BSU ocean. Spencer, the most popular athlete on campus is well on his way to success as a professional athlete and is confident the stars have aligned in his favor. Being tested by the underdog is one he’d never fail, or so he thinks. Journey with this unlikely pair inside the pages of their ugly covers.
Publisher’s Note: My Muted Love is book ONE of a THREE book series. It ends on a CLIFFHANGER. This book contains angst, profanity, sexually explicit content, and material related to young adults. If any of these elements is not what you prefer between the pages of a novel, this is not the venture for you.

BONUS: In the Gray by B.B. Reid Nov 05, 2023

Everything that could be wrong was wrong, so wrong that you somehow make it right.

Atlas and Rowdy had no business being together but B.B. Reid's pen made us love them. Let's talk about it.

In the Gray is an all-new wickedly sexy and boundary-pushing standalone from bestselling author B.B. Reid.

ATLAS

I know what they say. Grief makes you do things.

After the year I’ve had, I’m bathing in it.

Dad’s dead.

Mom is…mom.

My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.

When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I don’t hesitate.

I pack some clothes and what’s left of my life and run.

But I didn’t expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didn’t count on the burn.

Rowdy Wray.

They call him the lion of Idlewild.

Me…I call him boss.

He’s the key to my past and the path to my future.

What happens next is our twisted secret.

ROWDY

Who is this girl?

Atlas Beck.

This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me she’s my new receptionist.

I should have fired her.

I would have fired her if she hadn’t begged so beautifully.

Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didn’t know what she was asking. And now?

It’s too late to put the crazy back in the cage.

In the Gray is a dark contemporary standalone with themes some may find triggering. Please read the foreword before proceeding. Read this book: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Gray-B-B-Reid-ebook/dp/B0BWX2K7RJ⁠

BGBCP - First Wives Club with Author Keisha Ervin Sep 27, 2023

YALL...I know I say this every week but tonight's podcast was 🔥! If was like just a few of your book besties sitting around shooting the sh*t!

Keisha spills all the tea on her upcoming releases.

The drama, the sex, the love was real in the one. Take a listen.

Chyna Black thought she’d finally gotten her happily ever after. Her melanin is popping, her career has taken off like magic, and her love life is like something from a fairytale. After rekindling her love affair with Dame, he came back in her life, showed her how to move in a room full of bitches and swept her off her feet. When they met 20 years ago, she never knew the impact she’d made on his life. Because of her, Dame didn’t even know bitches. With him, she found her forever. His love was like no other. The stars in the sky were aligning perfectly. Then, within a blink of an eye, her dream became a nightmare. When the smoke clears, and the dust settles, will Chyna be able to hold on to everything she holds dear, or will she end up alone - all over again?

Gray Rose and Gunz have two kids and a home together. You would think, after 10 years together, she’d have a ring too… but Gunz still isn’t ready for marriage. Maybe it’s because he’s always fly, stays in the cockpit and can’t stay out the streets. Gray is over trying to keep a man that doesn’t want to be kept and Gunz ain’t beat, she can jump off his dick. All it takes is one nigga to remind her that she’s bad as fuck, and that they’re a real nigga.

After 11 years, four kids, a house and a dog, Mo and Boss finally got married. From the outside looking in, everything seems perfect, but Mo is secretly drowning. When she looks in the mirror, she doesn’t even recognize herself anymore. She used to have that up North glow, body looking like cinnamon, but between breast-feeding, soccer practice, ballet class, keeping house, a bitchy, loud-mouth mother-in-law and a husband who won’t keep his mama in check but constantly wants to fuck, Mo is five seconds away from putting everybody on the front porch. Can she keep it together without losing her sanity?

Chyna, Gray and Mo are going through it, but with their girls, Meesa, Mina and Dylan by their side, they’ll go through their trials and tribulations with love, laughter, a few tears and style every time they touch the city - STOP IT!!

BGBCP - Kindred (Xander's Story) by Robbi Renee Discussion Sep 20, 2023

This story started off heartbreaking but didn't disappoint, of course Robbi Renee gave us our HEA (Happily Ever After).

What do you do when you're in love with someone you know you may never have, let's talk about it.

Kindred spirits are said to be individuals with the same beliefs, attitudes, and feelings. Similar souls who mutually experience an instant heart connection of love, peace, and understanding. But when that connection is threatened, can kindred souls fall deeply, dangerously in love?
Xander ~ warrior, protector, the defender of people. But the awkward, gangly teenager Xander Kindred contradicts the valor and strength of the Greek name. He covets a simple life away from the hustle and madness of the inner-city streets. The oldest of the Kindred boys, Xander denies his family’s murderous legacy until an innocent walk home from school quickly transforms Xander from a boy to a man. Forcing Xander to protect his family and territory at all cost - even if it means sacrificing his kindred soul mate, the love of his life.

BGBCP - Kindred Spirits by Authoress Shanel Sep 13, 2023

She thought she could save him, he knew she couldn't, in the meantime they find love. Patrese and Shequana share their thoughts on the beautiful but troubling love story...take a listen.

It's been said that you only get three loves in your life. But who has ever been lucky enough to find three loves? It's a miracle if a person runs into one person that they can share the emotion with.

Love at first sight is a matter of perception, and for Ashland, he never really believed in the authenticity of it. Not until Kenya walked in and stole his breath away. He wasn't looking for love, never even wanted to feel love, and yet...here she was.

Kenya's attraction to Ashland was immediate and couldn't be denied, but he was by far the most complicated man she had ever come across. How do you break down the barriers of someone who won't open up? How do you begin to explain what you don't understand yourself?

Between the two of them, the idea of love seems more and more difficult to wrap their minds around, but the feelings won't go away, and their connection only gets stronger.

Will Ashland and Kenya be able to maneuver through this complicated journey, or will their fears be enough to stop them from pursuing what could be the greatest moment of their lives?

BGBCP - Perfect Peace by Daniel Black Discussion Part 2 Sep 06, 2023

Paul's life was tortuous shortly after his 8th birthday and it was all at the hands of his mother, but she pays dearly. Does Emma Jean get what she deserved or was her punishment too harsh. Read This book: https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Peace-Novel-Daniel-Black-ebook/dp/B003BQZ83O/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= As seen on TikTok, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is the heartbreaking portrait of a large, rural southern family’s attempt to grapple with their mother’s desperate decision to make her newborn son into the daughter she will never have—“a complex, imaginative story of one unforgettable black family in mid-twentieth century Arkansas” (Atlanta Magazine). When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother Emma Jean tells her bewildered daughter, “You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain’t what you was supposed to be. So, from now on, you gon’ be a boy. It’ll be a little strange at first, but you’ll get used to it, and this’ll be over after while.” From this point forward, Perfect’s life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events—while the rest of his family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment. “A morality tale of the consequences of letting our selfish needs trap the ones we love into roles they weren’t born to play. The characters here are as flawed, their sins numerous, as any living human being held under the lens, but the author brings a compassion and understanding to their plights.”—Mat Johnson, award-winning author of Invisible Things “Part cautionary tale, part folk tale, part fable, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is a complete triumph…In Emma Jean Peace, Dr. Black has created a character as complex, equivocal and unforgettable as Scarlett O'Hara.”—Larry Duplechan, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Got ’Til It’s Gone Your Book Bae Awaits at theblackgirlbookclub.com Join the Black Girl Book Club Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theblackgirlbookclubpodcast Join the Black Girl Book Club Podcast Email list: https://www.theblackgirlbookclubpodcast.com/theblkgrlbcpodcast-6136 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-black-girl-book-club-podcast/id1627300394 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Q87PbQrzipKr94oD2TroY?si=058c003a9a8b41aa Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4fs600LEYfN3pgKVHe1yw This episode is brought to you by Just Write Sis, the authors organization solution.

As seen on TikTok, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is the heartbreaking portrait of a large, rural southern family’s attempt to grapple with their mother’s desperate decision to make her newborn son into the daughter she will never have—“a complex, imaginative story of one unforgettable black family in mid-twentieth century Arkansas” (Atlanta Magazine).
When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother Emma Jean tells her bewildered daughter, “You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain’t what you was supposed to be. So, from now on, you gon’ be a boy. It’ll be a little strange at first, but you’ll get used to it, and this’ll be over after while.”
From this point forward, Perfect’s life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events—while the rest of his family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.
“A morality tale of the consequences of letting our selfish needs trap the ones we love into roles they weren’t born to play. The characters here are as flawed, their sins numerous, as any living human being held under the lens, but the author brings a compassion and understanding to their plights.”—Mat Johnson, award-winning author of Invisible Things
“Part cautionary tale, part folk tale, part fable, Daniel Black’s Perfect Peace is a complete triumph…In Emma Jean Peace, Dr. Black has created a character as complex, equivocal and unforgettable as Scarlett O'Hara.”—Larry Duplechan, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Got ’Til It’s Gone Your Book Bae Awaits at theblackgirlbookclub.com Join the Black Girl Book Club Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theblackgirlbookclubpodcast Join the Black Girl Book Club Podcast Email list: https://www.theblackgirlbookclubpodcast.com/theblkgrlbcpodcast-6136 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-black-girl-book-club-podcast/id1627300394 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Q87PbQrzipKr94oD2TroY?si=058c003a9a8b41aa Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4fs600LEYfN3pgKVHe1yw This episode is brought to you by Just Write Sis, the authors organization solution.

BGBCP - Two Minute Warning with Author Alexandra Warren Jul 26, 2023

Tonight was light as we discuss the story of Shake and Snoop. Kendell and Shakira let it be known as soon as the chemistry hit. Alexandra breaks down their love dynamic.

Kendall “Snoop” Dogwood has something to prove.
After a devastating ending to his first year with the Houston Skyhawks, getting redemption is the only thing on the veteran quarterback’s mind coming into the new season. But when a picture of him and a woman he barely knows, but wants to get to know, goes viral on social media, it doesn’t take long before Kendall finds himself on a different kind of mission going into year two.
A mission to pursue her.
As a social media influencer and the daughter of a well-known sports bettor, Shakira “Kiki” Knight is used to seeing her face tied to all sorts of internet gossip. What she’s not used to is having an actual crush on whoever she’s rumored to be involved with. But when it comes to Kendall Dogwood, Shakira just can’t seem to contain her attraction, especially once she learns the Skyhawks quarterback is equally interested in her.
Considering the messy way in which her last relationship with an NFL player ended, Kendall is probably the last man Shakira should be checking for. And after Shakira’s sports gambling ties are unveiled, the conflict of interest makes her the woman Kendall should probably be avoiding at all costs. But the instant chemistry between the two of them makes both of those things worth looking past for the sake of being together… until the stakes get higher and there’s more than just a game on the line.

BGBCP - Happiness in Jersey with Author Jacinta Howard Jul 18, 2023

We dive deep into Zay and Jersey's love and the state of black indie authors.

I share what I thought about Zay and she tells me if that's what she was going for. Why wasn't Jersey upset with her dad?
The only thing in Jersey Kincaid’s world that she has time for are keeping her grades up so that she doesn’t lose her scholarship to South Texas University, playing the bass in her band, The Prototype, and satisfying her coffee addiction. Oh, and the occasional random hook-up she indulges in to pass the time.
Love? Eh, not so much. Save that crap for a Katherine Heigl or Natalie Portman movie.
Jersey’s seen enough in life (courtesy of her Pops) to realize that undying romance is nothing more than a myth used to sell books and movie tickets. As she knows too well, the only thing inevitable in life is death— love is definitely not promised.
That’s why when Jersey meets Isaiah “Zay” Broussard with his soulful gray eyes, quick wit and easy charm, she’s determined to remain aloof. She doesn't have time to get sidetracked by fleeting fantasies, even if she does feel an unexplainable connection to Zay she’s never experienced before.
But when his interest in her only seems to intensify, despite her attempts to brush him off, she gets to see a side of him and herself she didn’t expect… Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Jersey-Prototype-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00MV7DMZ0

BGBCP - The Perfect Find by Tia Williams Jun 21, 2023

Tonight we discuss Tia Williams The Perfect Find, an age gap romance where a woman falls in love with a young man 18 years her junior.

Take this journey with us.

Will a forty-year-old woman with everything on the line – her high-stakes career, ticking biological clock, bank account – risk it all for an intensely lusty secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback, for good?

Jenna Jones, former It-girl fashion editor, is broke and desperate for a second chance. When she’s dumped by her longtime fiancé and fired from Darling magazine, she begs for a job from her old arch nemesis, Darcy Vale. The beyond-bitchy publisher of StyleZine.com, Darcy agrees to hire her rival – only because her fashion site needs a jolt from Jenna’s old school cred. But Jenna soon realizes she’s in over her head. She’s working with digital-savvy millennials half her age, has never even “Twittered,” and pretends to still be a Fashion Somebody while living a style lie (she sold her designer wardrobe to afford her sketched-out studio, and now quietly wears Walmart’s finest). Worse? The twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Wildly sexy with a smile Jenna feels in her thighs, Eric Combs is way off-limits – but almost too delicious too resist.

Written by the bestselling author of The Accidental Diva, The Perfect Find is a scandalously sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, utterly quotable saga about star-crossed love and starting over.

BGBCP - At The End Of It All with Rae Lyse May 31, 2023

No one writes new adult like Rae Lyse, and tonight she breaks down her new body of work, At The End Of It All. Endings.

Everyone and everything has one. They’re inevitable, right?

At twenty-one, Ason 'Ace' Williams Jr. knows all about inevitable endings. He’s formerly famous, a popular rapper’s muse, the son of a three-time NBA champ, and a little... complicated. After a disturbing scandal and loss rocks his world, he’s left to deal with both in a city that doesn’t quite feel like home. It’s a place filled with old family friends he’s never met, reminders of all the endings he’s had to endure, and even worse—he’s stuck there after his dad takes a job no one ever imagined him taking.

Eighteen-year-old Lourdes 'Phat' Hines doesn’t think about endings because she’s too busy dealing with the now. She’s a part-time college student, full-time caretaker, and worst of all, a lowly freshman on a campus she doesn’t have time to get accustomed to. After a tense run-in with a boy she’s sure she’s supposed to hate, the endings she’s been running from catch up to her at full speed and she faces a question he seems to have the answer to: What happens at the end of it all?

Content Note: This is a standalone new adult contemporary romance that contains mature themes and subjects that may be disturbing to some readers.

BGBCP - Jane Doe Black Discussion Apr 12, 2023

A murder mystery is not your typical Black Girl Book Club Podcast book discussion, but of course the discussion was one to be remembered. Take a look/listen.

She dedicated her life to working for the justice system, but when she needed it most, it didn’t work for her.
On the eve of trial, Assistant District Attorney Lainey Abbott gets a disturbing phone call. Her baby sister, Stephanie, who should have been back at her college dorm after visiting for the weekend, never arrived. At first, she isn’t too worried, because she’s a system insider and has plenty of resources available to locate her sister quickly, including Russ Sanders, the police detective she’s been on and off with for years. It’ll take a couple days, tops. They’ll find Steph and give her a piece of their mind for being so irresponsible.

But a year later, Stephanie still hasn’t been found.

And what’s worse, the system Lainey once had so much faith in, no longer seems inclined to look. Reeling from the loss, her career and personal life are in freefall, and most days she can’t even bring herself to care.

Until another case surfaces, of a girl who’s gone missing under strikingly similar circumstances to Steph’s ...

BGBCP - Somebody's Wife Book Discussion Mar 29, 2023

Author Robbi Renee joins us to discuss what it means to be Somebody's Wife while loving another man.

“Jemma had me at hello… but she was somebody’s wife.”

Dr. Ezekiel Green is ready to make a fresh start in a new city after the divorce from his high school sweetheart. What was supposed to be a professional business dinner with a future colleague quickly transformed into a love at first sight encounter… or so he thought. Dr. Jemma Holiday was spirited, brilliant, beautiful, and another man’s wife.

“Doesn’t he know I’m somebody’s wife? Does he care? Shit… do I care?”

Dr. Jemma Holiday had the perfect life, love, marriage, and family in the public’s eye. But behind closed doors, betrayal and mundane monotony were suffocating. A marriage of situational necessity. What was supposed to be a pleasurable evening out with her sorority sisters, abruptly transitioned to the one-night stand of her dreams… or so she thought.

What’s the worst that could happen?

BGBCP - Ladii Nesha Lucid Dreams Book Discussion Mar 22, 2023

Baabbbyyyyy Ladii Nesha had us going tonight. Tonight we discussed horrible father's , trash baby daddies, and metrosexual men. When tragedy and pain meets love. Laugh with us.

After a horrific incident, Nite and his twin Dai are left to fend for themselves. Living recklessly in the fast lane, the twins flirt with danger not caring about the aftermath of their actions. Partying, popping pills, and getting money are just a few ways they cope with their untreated childhood trauma. Without the guidance of strong male figure and the love of a nurturing mother, they can come off as rude and callous.
For Hunter, life has never been easy. From birth, she was dealt a hand deemed unfair. With an alcoholic father and deadbeat baby daddy, Hunter is suffocating and no one seems to care. After literally being knocked off her feet by Nite, Hunter is immediately turned off by his rude demeanor, but she can’t seem to shake him.
The lines between reality and dreams are blurred when the past and future collide. Loyalty is tested, greed is at an all-time high and several lives are left hanging in the balance. Nite and Dai learn that no matter how hard they try, they can never outrun their past.

BGBCP - Waiting to Breathe Discussion Mar 08, 2023

Was StentRo toxic or a man crazy in love?

Would you forgive Stent for his shortcoming if you were Zoey (a.k.a Nina)?

She’s working hard at her degree and to help her family stay afloat financially. Stenton’s at the top of his game on the court, but off, his life is out of bounds. That is until he happens upon Zoey, who represents something that he’s never had—family. Her world is spun completely out of control when they intersect. Could the lengths he decides to go destroy the future Stenton desperately desires to have with Zoey? Find out in Love Delayed.

BGBCP - A Timeless Love with Author Shanel Discussion Mar 01, 2023

This book puts everything in perspective. Their love was timeless but their time was limited.

We wouldn't even call this a best friend's to lovers, it's more like best friends to soulmates.

Time seemed to stand still for Abigail, aka Abby, while growing up in Crescent City, Florida. She wanted out. She wanted to experience the world outside of her small hometown. As soon as Abby was able, she went on to live her life, experiencing college in Texas, then furthering her career in the always sunny Southern California. The one thing she missed while broadening her horizons was her best friend Kendrick. He was Abby’s confidant…her rock.
Kendrick always wanted the best for Abby. He wanted her to be happy. So, while his feelings for her ran deep, he knew he needed to let her fly. The best friend role would just have to be good enough for him. Staying in Crescent City, so far away from Abby, hurt, but it was his home.
When tragedy strikes, Kendrick and Abby end up back in one another’s presence. With emotions on high, and buried feelings coming to the surface, it seems as though their love for one another was placed in a time capsule. No amount of time or distance could break Kendrick and Abby’s connection. It was as if it were being preserved for the right moment. However, the right moment may not be what either of them expects. The universe controls more than just time; it also dictates our fate, which is inevitable and unpredictable. Fate, can also sometimes, be heartbreaking.

BGBCP - Demons Dream Discussion Jan 25, 2023

Join us for a lively conversation about the most talk about book in 2022...Demons Dream by author Elle Kayson.

Demon Montana: Clawing my way from the depths of hell to haunt the nightmares and steal the lives of many, I earned the name “Demon.” Hardened by a life that no one should live, I had rules that governed my existence. No caring. No intimacy. No love. And then I saw her… Dream. Beautiful. Brave. Bold. And for thirty days, she was mine. I would follow my rules: have her body, ignore her heart. Then, she looked at me… like she knew me. Like she saw me. Like she loved me. And I knew… thirty days weren’t nearly enough. Dream Castle: Brilliant and bad ass, I was my family’s fixer. I was the queen of negotiating and smoothing ruffled feathers. I had never met a situation I couldn’t talk us out of… until my brother crossed the wrong family and they would accept only one payment for that debt. Me. For thirty days, I was supposed to give myself to a man so brutal, they called him “Demon.” I had to follow his rules, honor his demands, be available to him only. When I met him, he had nightmares in his cold green eyes and an enemy’s blood splattered on his hard, inked body. How could I survive a month with a monster without losing myself? Except… those eyes seemed to thaw a little each time he looked at me. And his chiseled body fit perfectly against mine. There was so much more to the enigma called “Demon,” so many things that made him my “Damien.” Suddenly, the only thing I was worried about losing in thirty days was my heart.

The Porter's got a sister that they don't know about. When Lake's best friend and brother Daly finds her, he finds more than he thought he would.

Take a listen as we discuss this family reunion.

Birthed from a beautiful ocean given by a rough tide with uncontrollable waves
Two head on collusive bodies of water flooded with debris
Through hard travels, sunny days, and even colder nights
Birthed a new wave.
Birthed a new life.
Birthed a new embodiment of the ocean and its harsh waters.
Made of pure love' conception through rhythmic deception.
Another Porter. Clear Water.

While Lake, Avery, Ivy, and Vant deal with the makes and breaks of their relationships, they also juggle the other Porters on their journeys. Each person is fighting to overcome, find their places with one another, and the new hurdles in their lives. Finding and believing in the trust and love they so desperately seek in one another. Everything gets put on the line in this final installment. Fight or flight has kicked in, and each Porter, along with the women they have chosen to love, will need to make a decision and commit. Can love conquer all, or will it not be enough?

BGBCP - On Us by author Nina Jan 06, 2023

LaCorrie tells you the reason Vant continued to cheat on Ivy (Shequana doesn't agree BTW...lol:)). Shequana shares her thoughts on why she thinks the Porters are the way they are and more.

How many passes will Shequana give?????

Avery went against everything to be with Ky. Her sister Ivy, who she loved more than anyone in the world and Vant who had taken care of her like she was his own blood, told her for years Ky was no good. Their relationship didn’t start ideally, but the love she had for him began long before they became public to the world. What was once a fairytale turned into a nightmare, and Avery felt like it was karma. She didn’t have any business being with Ky then, and the torment she had been put through showed they weren’t meant to be together presently. Lake Porter, a man who dedicated his life to taking care of his brothers and living by his father’s word, finally catches up to the feelings he tried so hard to fight. Love wasn’t in the cards for him, and he had come to terms with that until a prissy, sometimes crazy, vibrant woman, shows him that he isn’t so cold and his heart did pump. She isn’t fazed by his mean persona and deadly dark eyes. Lake out of his comfort zone, and in the presence of a woman so alluring with energy so contagious, finds himself at the end of a bullet from the love gun. He quickly finds out that being with the woman of his choosing comes with baggage that he doesn’t mind carrying. But will Lake be able to break her from the curse that is his sworn enemy?

BGBCP - Sinfully Loved Discussion Dec 14, 2022

When a Minster meets a Scarlett. Tonight one of our long time listeners and book besties, Debbie, joins Shequana for a night of sin and love.

*****In this discussion there is a mention of rape and drug abuse*******

A product of the streets and circumstance, Lavender Love has always been dealt a bad hand. From dealing with her religious zealot of a grandmother to birthing a child that was a product of rape, Lavender deals with more issues at thirteen than most women twice her age. Not ready to be a mother, Lavender leaves her baby on her grandmother’s doorstep and finds the first ride she can out of the city. On a quest to find herself, Lavender rides a rocky road, teetering between life and death. Fifteen years later, she’s still searching for herself when she meets Shyheim Roosevelt.
A caring, charming, and handsome youth pastor, Shyheim Roosevelt has been tasked with finding Lavender and bringing her back home. Carnal opposites attract when, in finding Lavender, Shyheim finds himself. From her outspoken opinions and alluring personality, she’s everything he could ever ask for in a woman. Her past is of no consequence to Shyheim, who also has a rocky past but has been living how his parents wanted him to for a little over a decade: by the Word. However, after spending just a small amount of time with Lavender, he understands that, like the Bible, people are capable of being multifaceted. The only things standing in the way of their love are Lavender’s reservations, his parents—and the woman he’s due to walk down the aisle with.

BGBCP - Getting Even Discussion Dec 07, 2022

Getting Even by Danesha Little hit a little too close to home for Shequana, struck a nerve with Patrese, and had LaCorrie going off in the comments all the way from Egypt. Take a listen.

After stumbling across a video of her husband having sex with another woman, Joy Richards questions everything about her marriage. To her, forgiveness can only happen after she gets even. Unfortunately one night with male stripper, Philip "Ian" Nichols turns her entire life upside down. Rashad Richards knows that he messed up when he cheated on his wife and is trying to do everything in his power to piece his family back together. He quickly learns that some mistakes you can't come back from when he finds that he's not the only one fighting for his wife's affection. Can a marriage that experiences infidelity on both sides survive the aftermath?

Lunch With Love (Belvin) - The Prism Series Part 2 Nov 15, 2022

WE HAD A TIME... Today we got to chat with THE Love Belvin. She opens up to us and shares what inspires her and how her clients come to her with their stories.

Fast-forwarding three years after it was finally revealed, what’s in a name?
Ashira now knows the man she once thought of as a felon laborer is far more than the task she’d bargained for. Yes, he’s a convicted felon who works in home-building. He’s also convicted in his spiritual walk, a savvy entrepreneur, laboriously supportive, a tad insane, and has possibly run out of patience for her.
He’s also the father of her three-year-old child.
Find out how Jas and Ashira navigate through pain, resentment, acceptance, and co-parenting, while remaining solid for their child, and being true to themselves.
Is there room for them to say more? Or should they simply say less?

Prism Series - Love Belvin (Part 1) Nov 09, 2022

Tonight we uncover the Prism who is Jas and his muse Ashira.

All he needed was her mercy and grace to fulfill his promise, will she give it to him?

This is part 1 of the prism series (books 1 & 2), be sure to watch Part 2 to hear from the Queen Pen herself Ms. Love Belvin.

Ashira, a belle from the suburbs, is the wealthy acting CEO of her father’s booming building firm. That's when she’s not the dancer on the Gram and TikTok, dating the latest Black Hollywood shooting star. To her, Jas, a construction laborer, is a walking conundrum. He’s fruitlessly ambitious yet steadfast in his spiritual convictions. He’s enigmatic, well-read, regimented, and poor. Oh, and a felon. An incredibly disarming parolee who wants no connection to her. Until he does. Two souls, galaxies apart. The Black Girl Book Club Podcast thanks you for your support. The voice of urban fiction.

BGBCP - Plus ➕ Discussion with author Sabrina B. Scales Nov 02, 2022

Tonight we discuss hood heros, family secrets, and childhood trauma.

Sabrina explains why black love is so important and why Tashena was so angry.

He was born into the struggle, a place where love was sometimes considered a luxury and most certainly couldn’t be taken for granted. Being the sole provider of his household before he was old enough to get a job, it was no surprise that he maintained that position when super stardom landed at his door…Kenny She was born into the struggle, a place where abandonment was just one of the many things that could fall into your path. She learned early on that it was her responsibility to protect herself, and sometimes the ones she loved. In her eyes, pain was not a thing to be shared. It was better managed alone. And the weight of it, though crippling, was hers to carry and no one else’s…Tashena They were born into the struggle, separated by a few blocks of concrete and heavy doses of pain, somehow finding their way back to each other after life and its perils pushed them apart. The truth needed to be told before either of their hearts could mend. Healing was needed on both ends before reception was an option. Trust needed to be established before love was a possibility. Such heavy burdens to bare for souls that were already carrying too much. Plus, a story of love...through the struggle.

BGBCP - Youngblood: A Forbidden Tale (Forbidden Trilogy Book 5) Book Discussion with Author Tiye Lov Oct 19, 2022

Things get a little heated tonight as we discuss the ending of the Forbidden series from Aaron's point of view with author Tiye Love. Was he a man whore or just a man trying to heal from the ultimate betrayal. Take a listen.

SHE WAS EVERYTHING HE NEVER THOUGHT HE WANTED...
Aaron Youngblood thought he had it all. A beautiful wife, a gorgeous home, and a thriving business. He never expected his secret to be revealed or be blindsided by heartbreak. Still reeling from the ultimate betrayal of his brother and wife, Aaron finds himself seeking casual relationships, no longer believing in marriage, and unable to trust others.
Except he can't stop thinking about LaTisha Blackwell, a no-nonsense single mother who has had her own issues with trust, especially for men like the charismatic Aaron. And he can’t quite understand why he is so irresistibly drawn to a woman whose everything he never thought he wanted in a woman and his ex-wife's best friend.
As Aaron battles his lingering anger and resentment about the demise of his marriage and revisits the past, he wonders if he will be able to learn from his mistakes and find love again. More importantly, can he truly forgive the one person he never thought would hurt him?
I've truly enjoyed taking this journey with Mr. Aaron Youngblood - a Reader

Seasons of Fidelity By Takerra Allen - End Game Sep 29, 2022

Did Mimi ever say enough was enough? Will the couples make it in the end?

The heartache, the drama, the discoveries...End Game left us shook and not wanting it to end.

The first season was one of contemplation. The second, of choices. The final...? Consequences. Regina and Ray have begun to rebuild atop destruction. But have they cleared all of the rubble away? What happens when a solid union is constructed on shaky foundation? Will it stand or will it crumble? Derrick and Aleeya are not Derrick and Aleeya. For the second time, they've entered a new season apart. Is it destiny or doom that await if they should connect? With so many odds stacked against them, will the dice ever roll in their favor? Yael has gone missing at a fragile turn in Justice's life, leaving him feeling more isolated than before meeting her. With time to reflect, he begins to analyze why he's so dedicated on saving others. Should he toss out the raft once more, or stop himself from drowning this time? The Finale packs answers to the burning questions. For two seasons, readers have trekked further into the dark cave of Takerra's mind and these characters' soul-twisting world, and now suddenly - they're handed a flashlight. All they have to do is make it out. Let's see who makes it out with them...together.

Seasons Of Fidelity - Season Two Discussion Sep 21, 2022

Ray and Regina finally get their happily ever after...almost. Derrick and Aleeya's friendship blossoms into something much more. Justice drowns trying to save Yael. We talk about it all tonight.

Join us for Season Two of Seasons of Fidelity by Takerra Allen. In season 2, love prevails, two broken souls form a rebellious bond, and another pair is so damaged they can’t possibly progress beyond friendship. With bitter endings come new beginnings. The cast of Seasons is back and in the same place we left them – within their individual worlds yet again without the delirium their coexistence brings. That is, until a blow knocks the cosmos out of synch and unites them under punishing circumstances for another round of emotional TAG. Justice, Dice, Aleeya, and Yael will all have to share space again. What will happen when they come face-to-face with such unfinished affairs? Meanwhile Ray and Regina are suffering a devastating loss that will either bring them closer together – despite already being in committed relationships with spouses to lean on – or put more distance between two old friends who haven’t quite learned one another again. Season 2 is a Ferris wheel of emotions, that in the end, will leave some brought back down to solid ground and some left sitting in the clouds. Others just may be let off the ride altogether. Get comfortable and fall back into the world of this complex cast. Seasons of Fidelity has been renewed for a second season!

Seasons of Fidelity By Takerra Allen - Season One Sep 14, 2022

Imagine your one true love now belonging to someone. Imagine falling in love with the one person you know you shouldn't. Imagine seeing all the light in someone only for it to be dimmed by a dark secret. The next 3 weeks are dedicated to the Seasons of Fidelity by Takerra Allen...tune in.

No one belongs to anyone.
We claim rights second; belonging to God first.
We are born and die as individuals, and we live as such, while keeping the feelings of those we love in mind.
Often, we keep them in mind…even more than our own.
Old love. New lust. Treasured friendships. Temptation. Escapes from dulled reality. Inevitable destruction.
An anticipated reunion brings six preoccupied souls together and stirs the pot brewing with it all.
Ray, Dice, and Justice have come to age, forming an impermeable bond that has stood the storms of time and hardship.
When the trio unites after substantial time has passed, they find all rough waters aren’t left behind for the brotherhood.
Regina’s life turned out better than what was foreseen for a teenaged, single-mother.
Yet when her past is forced into her present, so are the steamy and sentimental memories.
Aleeya’s chasing dreams and thrills, and there isn’t much that can seize the free-spirit;
besides an older, already-claimed man who invites her into his dark, enchanting world.
And there’s Yael - the broken masterpiece - held together by the glue of financial stability, family structure and the American dream.
But when she meets someone who sees her well enough to spot the cracks, will she allow herself to be marveled at his mercy?
Fall into a world of tests on the morals of love and commitment.
What makes a person dishonest? Who governs the limits of loyalty?
Are we faithful or unfaithful people or do we have faithful and unfaithful moments?
Are there exceptions to the rules; cycles in a relationship that allow for forgivable circumstances?
Are there Seasons of Fidelity?

BGBCP - Devout and Too Devout Discussion Sep 07, 2022

What happens when an angel falls in love with a beast? Take a listen as we discuss.

Devout Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt? I have. Have you ever cherished the pain because you knew the kind you’d face without them would be way too unbearable? That’s me. To young Neeka Perry, Denny is one thing. In the streets, he’s a whole other entity. But she was brave enough to love both sides, upside down, all around, and back again. He provided her with all a girl could believe she dreamed of – security, desire, and most enviably, genuine love, all wrapped up in gold and diamonds. He removed her far from the course of her ordinary college girl lifestyle and swept her into his world of whimsical madness. For this and more, her love went beyond loyalty. She was devout… devout to him. But is there a such thing as too much passion? Can you love someone too much? And when you realize the person you love and the person everyone fears can also be the one everyone loves and you can one day soon fear, who will save you? Especially when the person you need saving from, is yourself…? Stop right there. I don’t want to be saved. I’ve shackled myself to him with love. And I swallowed the key. I’m in this for the long run. I am devout.

Too Devout These characters were too dynamic to leave lingering on the shallow surface. Delve deeper into Denny and Neeka’s world and you’ll either be begging to leave, or won’t want to. Too Devout is the anticipated mega-conclusion to the renowned Devout. Readers were left unsure, but hopeful that they would be reacquainted with the two, star-crossed lovers. Denaché Denny “D Rock” Graham, the ever complex crime lord with his layers of mystery beneath his grime, and his weakness for the simpler semi of the pair - the beguiling Neeka Perry. Neeka was left in waiting, and it was not in vain. Denny is back, but back to what? Or better, in fact, back as what? Busy hearts will go still in this last installment of a novel that was supposed to be left at a kiss in the wind. With the tenacity of the characters folded into these paragraphs...and their determination to beat the odds tilting the scale at every obstacle… You, as the witness, will be the one to decide... Should it have been? Is love a game that you play to win...and by all means, to prove it true? Or, are there signs we overlook, which caution us when we are going against the course of nature? Is there ever a danger…of being…TOO DEVOUT?

BGBCP - BGBCP - Love's Inconvenient Truth Discussion Aug 31, 2022

This was a great #bookdiscussion . Let us know what you think.

Find out what Shequana's favorite part of the book was.
LaCorrie's take on Quincy.
And Patrese's take on their love life.

What can Elle Jarreau, a seasoned woman with a skewed view on love, learn about the verity of fairy tales from a man nine years her junior? Apparently a thing or two. “I don’t believe in fairy tales; only acquainted with reality. I understand there are people who are genetically damaged in the womb. Some of these people, like me, are destined to be alone. We’re too strong willed; our power too potent and can destroy all around if wielded.” Jackson Q. Hunter isn’t your average 26 year old. Forced to be a man before his time by his well-connected, extremely resourceful, and very wealthy father, Jackson is especially conversant on commitment and crowning a woman. “Fairy tales don’t always have to be a forsaken concept. Sometimes it’s a matter of viewing it from the right perspective. Sometimes you have to simply choose a more suitable illustrator. Even we haunted cynics can find liberation in the mendacity of fairy tales. Sounds like your demons would fit nicely in my haunted closet with the rest of my iniquities.” As secrets are unveiled and nightmares illuminated, see what they learn about self-acceptance and self-forgiveness when they find redemption through their mirrored self-exiled darkness.

BGBCP - The Rhythm of Blues (Love in Rhythm & Blues Book 1) Discussion Jul 06, 2022

Tonight we discuss fake celebrity marriages, love, and betrayal. Some believe the old adage, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Well, in some instances the smoke is just a coverture for secrets. Dark ones. Ragee is a successful R&B singer, music composer, and actor who shot to fame and celebrity at rocketing speed. He has the voice, the troubled soul, the seductive look, and the alluring mystique, all of which give him the traditional packaging of a soulful rhythm and blues singer. But he also has an unshakable stigma attached to his stardom that won’t seem to go away. Wynter Blue thought she was taking control of her world the day she up and quit her job. As a social service professional, she was done with helping afflicted adult men to right their paths in life. She was ready to live for her. Finally. She wanted to pursue her dreams and stretch the bounds of her creativity. Little did she know, the day she walked out of her job was the very one she’d run into the shroud of smoke. His smoke. Awfully familiar with secrets herself, Wynter questions if she can handle Ragee’s darkness while trying to bring him into the light of truth. DISCLAIMER: The Rhythm of Blues is book one of a two-book series. This series is for mature audiences ONLY. This installment is a full-length novel containing profanity, erotica, and sensitive sexual content. It ends on a cliffhanger.

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 when they endure them together, neither of them realizes the trouble that lurks beneath their budding friendship.

BGBCP - Crave by Shae Sanders Discussion May 11, 2022

THIS IS THE ONE! The book, the discussion...EVERYTHING! This powerful literary tale of untraditional love will have you rethinking your entire life.

Hear what the black girl has to say.

I said I'd never love another man again. I had no idea I would soon fall in love with four of them.

I, Skye Bellamy, escaped to this little mountain town to start anew. To focus. It was supposed to be easy, because If there's one thing I know how to do, it's reinvent myself.

But a series of unfortunate events lands me right next to my favorite R&B boy band from back in the day. And they still look good.

Angelo's the cocky one. Jamal is the strong, silent one. G is the gorgeous, sensitive one. And Matt, well, Matt's not on my radar and for good reason.

But I'm already on theirs.

I'm supposed to be working and they're supposed to be rehearsing but temptation abounds and I soon find myself in their clutches...or maybe they're in mine. It's hard to say. But no matter how happy we are with our little arrangement, we're all hiding something and it's only a matter of time before it all blows up in our faces. But in the meantime...

We fall.

***This is book 1 in the Crave Series. Crave is a reverse harem romance, which means the heroine doesn't have to choose; she can have any or all of the guys she wants. Sometimes at the same time. There is no cliff-hanger but this is the first in series so the story continues in the next installment.

Love's Ineligible Receiver Discussion Feb 16, 2022

Tonight was good.

Rut was that n*gga! Hear our thoughts on this worldwind romance.

The league didn’t believe in me. I was the last pick of the first round.
The Kings didn’t believe in me. They low-balled my contract and mandated therapy to begin immediately.
My coach didn’t believe in me. But I get it; she’s a female.
The General don’t halfway believe. He keeps threatening violence if I blow this opportunity.
This chick I bagged at the first team event… Well, let’s say she’s listening.
I’m a black, educated, and self-made man. I have no kids, and was rich and established before draft night. The odds are stacked against me, but I’ll show them all. They’ll understand my name before it’s all said and done.
I was born a king, and now I am a King.
Note: Love's Ineligible Receiver is book 5 of the Connecticut Kings series and is a completed installment.

Hurt people, hurt people.
No truer words have ever been spoken when it comes to Kira McDaniels trying to find her place in the world. Growing up in a broken and toxic home has left her unable to show love, and more importantly, receive love. How can one accept love from another when her own parents abandoned her and left her to fend for herself mentally, emotionally, and physically? Kira pushed through life with a hard exterior protecting her and focused on being better than her parents. However, the lack of guidance as a young woman has left her broken, and Kira doesn’t know what to do when Haneef Young walks into her life, showing her things could be different.

Focused on his money and his end goal, Haneef wasn’t looking for love. It was something he had very little experience with, however, as soon as he laid eyes on Kira, he saw the bright aura trapped behind beautiful dark eyes and wanted to free her from her pain. No matter how hard she tried to push him away, Haneef always showed up, letting Kira know that she had someone in her corner.

Kira and Haneef’s journey to love is anything but easy. The two experience many trials and tribulations… but love is a beautiful thing. Take this journey with Kira and Haneef to find out if love can truly conquer all

Author Lakaii joins us for a night of fun, laughs, and a few tears. Go inside the minds of each characters.

per·spec·tive (noun): One's point of view determined by beliefs, environments and experience. Everyone has one... but is it right? Should everyone trust their own perception? After all it is how YOU see things... By 2012, 29-year-old Kennedi Westbrook has beaten all odds. Statistically, she was destined to be a failure. However, she proved statistics wrong by becoming a sought-after psychiatrist and owner of Healthy Minds, a counseling and psychiatric practice in downtown Atlanta.

Mitchell, Kennedi's husband, is wealthy, business savvy, well-groomed, and confident. However, he also has major issues of his own. Although he could never pay for a better family and lifestyle, perception has clouded his judgment and forced him to see if he still has it. Far removed from the dating game, Mitchell makes an amateur decision to flirt with danger, risking his most valued possession.... his family. Young, beautiful, and sexy Sydney was unemployed, insecure, and nearly homeless before she met the father of her unborn twins.. Now the only struggles that she has, is learning to adjust to her new surroundings and figuring out how to rekindle the extinguished flame between them. Unwilling to accept the reality of the adverse relationship that they share, Sydney's desire to have a "real" family leads her on a treacherous hunt. Before she is forced to adjust to a new role as a single mother, her mission has become to remove all barriers standing between her and her babies' father...including everything and everyone. The three each have close friends who all have different perspectives, secrets and influences of their own, which make all situations more difficult. On the Inside Looking Out is a whirlwind of blackouts, nightmares, abuse, jealousy, broken sprits, secrets, and lies that won't stop until perceptions and perspectives are tested

The Closer I Get To You Discussion with Author Ashley Nicole Jan 11, 2022

No judgement and unconditional love was what Sym had to offer Lou when he had nothing to give. Give this episode a listen as Ashley Nicole gives us a behind the scenes look into these characters.

Life dealt Lou a losing hand at birth. After years of unthinkable suffering, he has reached a boss level of indifference that he has no intention of stepping down from. His daughter needs a place to live? Not his problem. Anybody else need anything? They’ll die before he offers to help. He’s content living his life alone, and nothing can change that.
Until she crosses his path, and suddenly, being alone isn’t so appealing.
Symantha is living a carefree existence that includes an endless supply of gorgeous men dying to make it to her bed. Work is good and life is so great, she couldn’t ask for anything more. Then, she’s sucked into the life of her ornery neighbor, which helps her realize that her life may not be as fulfilled as she thinks. Maybe, the cute guy with the empty gaze is exactly what she didn't know she needed.
