I wasn't sure what to expect of Joia and Theodore's story based on this cover of I Think I Might Need You by Christina C. Jones (CCJ). However, a quick google search showed some an updated cover and that cover really spells it all out! That said, I quickly found myself invested in the love story of Joia and Theodore - expecting a HEA with a wedding and all at the conclusion of the story.

CCJ's storytelling is impressive, as always, but I found the depiction of Theodore to be pretty good. He and his cameraman were funny to me.

I was not really feeling the surprise pregnancy or the way Joia, who's not some young 20 something, reacted toward the entire situation. But, I really liked that CCJ drove home Joia's lack of self-love and low self-esteem, which explains the character's obsession with building her body and being fit. I found that to be an interesting take on the surprise pregnancy aspect of the novella and it also makes it a bit more worthwhile.

All in all,  I Think I Might Need You by CCJ is a solid story, but in my opinion it is not as good as book 1 of the series, I Think I Might Love You, yet it does make me want to read the last book in the series. 

Lastly, I have to celebrate the narrators who do a fabulous job of making "I Think I Might Need You" come to life. Dana La Voz and Dontavious Breighton.
