Miss Jones don't miss! Super exciting to be able to read one of her very old works and find it to be equally as brilliant as her more recent works. I won't lie I screamed I found out Roman was still living with the mother of his child and failed to mention cause IKYFL Howeve , the storyline development and sweetness of the story won me back over and the resulotiin left me overall satisfied. I also do wish the proposal hadn't been laced with her doubts but that's just because I be wanting the perfect nice neat happily ever after. Also, I aint forgiving that damn heffa Leah EVER. OLE LOW DOWN SCALLYWAG. This is a 4.5 for me but I'm rounding up because it's my review and I can do what I want lololol

I liked all the pieces of this book, but needed the pacing to slow way down. I thought the conflict was interesting and handled well, I loved the side characters, Simone and Roman had a great amount of chemistry. But I just needed an extra 100 pages where the reader can have some breathing room. The relationship gets physical really quickly and then a reveal has Simone pushing Roman away. He then, over the course of a month, shows Simone what kind of guy he is and is proving to her that she can trust him. I wanted to see more of that month! We get a few little tidbits about how he would walk her home every night and they slowly got to know each other more, but we only get those tidbits over the course of a page or two. I wanted chapters of a more slow-burn build up to get them back to where they were. I knew from the page count (about 260) that this book would be a bit fast paced for me, but the other books in the series are around 100 pages longer and even though I know each book in this series is a stand alone romance, I still like to read as many books in a series as possible. I really enjoyed the writing and plotting, I just wanted some pieces to be more fleshed out which I hope I'll get with the other books in the series.
