Listen if you give me an urban rom com I’m going to love it real bad. Ses is definitely on my all time favorite FMCs list. Dash was too cute for words. The banter…babe THE BANTER. I highlighted and bookmarked whole pages! The Los situation has my heart hurting a lil bit, but I promise I wanted Kosh to run into Zoe in dark alley. This was EXACTLY the friends-to-lovers vibes I was in the mood for. The pacing was good, the subplot was intriguing, and the writing was so good. This is my first Ashley Nicole book and I’m about to stop playing cause I’ve got a few of her books I’ve been meaning to read.

I loved this book. The banter between the MCs was hilarious. Their genuine friendship was dope. Her crazy obsession had me tickled the whole book! AshleyNicole is hilarious.

First book m by this author but it won't be my last .

This was a true natural progression from friends to lovers. 

Sesali and Dash had a chance encounter at a party that would change both of their lives.  I loved how respectable Dash was and didn't try to force himself on Sesali. 

When Sesali was ready she was ready and I loved that for both of them!

I love this book death. It was so good to me that I read it twice in a span of 3 months. It's definitely a new favorite.

This book was so good. The meet-cute. The friendship. The romance that grew from the friendship. The issues with friends. The backstory. Everything about this book was wonderful.

Romance & Music

I liked Ses and Dash’s story as they found love as two hard-working professionals. As a well know music artist, Dash has enjoyed the company of many women. When he meets Sesily, who advocates for her girls to get some “quality time” with him, he sees her as a breath of fresh air. AshleyNicole’s writing captures their love story.
