This book was nothing short of great storytelling. I'm shocked that this novella could tell such a fulfilling story in only 164 pages! *Selfishly, I still want more!* Prior Affair is the second book, novella, in the Night Shift Series. The heroine Hailey is everything! Making her path in life as a freelance writer, to now wanting a change and taking a chance working an executive job with Sugar and Spice. Hailey is looking for more and hopes to find that as well as piecing together her family's history in Blackwood. Ellis is cocky with every right to be! He’s a brewer by day and fireman by night with the looks to match! Ellis is true to his passion for brewing and helping others through his job as a firefighter. Ellis and Hailey were magic on these pages, and the evolving of their love story was so sweet. I believe Ellis was not ready for Hailey because she is not your average girl, okay! I loved all the funny moments between them. It was refreshing. Not that I thought the book would all be serious, but I truly enjoyed the comical banter between them at times. Hailey and Ellis both have smart mouths!

It was great seeing cameos from prior characters! I loved the update on Bianca and Rashad. There are two characters I’m interested in hearing more from: Lark & Reva. I feel there is a story to tell with each of them.

If you are looking for a sweet "it’s meant to be" love story, this is it! I love this theme for the Night Shift Series, and can’t wait to read the next book in this series! *Speaking it into existence*
This book will be released EXCLUSIVELY on her site beingmrsjones.com 8/27/21, and will be available in e-book format and pre-order for paperback!! Yall this book needs to be on your shelves!! Highly recommend this book! :)

I received this book through an early digital copy from @beingmrsjones. I appreciate her opening the opportunity for ARCs and being my very first one and first review on this page!

Christina C. Jones has done it again! 🙌🏾 Ever since I read Hostile Takeover, I fell in love with Blackwood (I still think about Nalani and Orion). I’m currently reading all the stories set in this town. As for this book, I wish this was longer. I really enjoyed reading about Hailey and Ellis and I think I’m going to think about them for a while 🥰

I really wanted to love this book, and I did at first and then it just lost me. It lost direction for a bit but overall an okay story. 

Prior Affair is story of déjà vu. If you look so familiar but I can’t place you were a were two people, it would definitely be Hailey and Ellis. Two people with no prior knowledge or interaction are drawn to each other in familiarity.The two end up having an unanticipated, and steamy connection in the midst of events, but neither one of them anticipate just how deep that connection goes, especially as Hailey puts the pieces together of her family history with respect to the career and relationships of her family roots.
