so sweet
I really enjoyed this book. It was very sweet. I loved reading about their love story. This was my first book from this author, but I decided to purchase the other books in the series

I started listening to the audio but had to switch over to the book. The narration was ok, but the story became tedious. I was sick of both Evan and Nia.
For one thing, if I had not known Nia was supposed to be black, (from the cover), I would not have known at all except for the occasional references to skin tone. Then, wait, her sexual history continued to be brought up. Again and Again. I started out with high hopes. Nia was strong, intelligent, witty. She deteriorated into something I can't explain. Also, why did she have to be a burlesque dancer? Couldn't she have been ANY other kind of dancer, ballet? Jazz?, etc.? Why did she have to be biracial? If she was a product of two AA parents would she not have been good enough for Evan? Why did she have to have more sexual experience than Evan? Does that come up in other romance novels?
There waa something wrong with Evan. Maybe because this was the first book I read in this series, and didn't have much background, I had to wonder what happened to him that he was so removed from his emotions. Why did he marry his wife? Didn't seem like he felt anything for her. It seemed !One she was convenient, like a Keurig.
I didn't feel much of anything for Evan or Nia. I just wanted them to get together so the book would end.
I didn't even realized I owned this book, and the first 3. After reading this one, I'm hesitant to invest the time in the first 3.

The story was okay. I thought it was a bit unbelievable at times but other than that it was a decent read. Very quick read.

Once again Shayla Black does not disappoint!! The heart wrenching and highly emotional tale of Evan and Nia had me wiping tears from my cheeks and sighing with complete happiness. Emotionally handicapped Evan has had his life ripped from him with the tragic death of his wife and unborn child, but it takes the thought of a new beginning with his newly found siblings to make him realize that he needs to move on. But can a man who lost it all learn to love again? Or does he even understand what love is anymore? With beautifully written characters and a storyline that I could not put down this was a fabulous read. It needs more than 5 stars!!

The shiny happy ending was a little nauseating. This one was more melodramatic than the previous books I’ve read in the series. Evan knows how he feels about Mia in the first 50 pages, but the story drags on & on.
