Night Song by Beverly Jenkins

2.5

✨A thousand places✨

The conflict just turned into them refusing to be in love. Which was very confusing. They were being very stubborn. He gave restrictions to where she could move? But he won’t have her as a wife? They RA finally got married and then the book just turned into a marriage in trouble which isn’t my thing.

She was very oblivious when he was involved. She kept thinking he was wanting some other woman? Like he married you and kept coming back to you and got you pregnant. I didn’t like that she wasn’t going to tell him about the baby. Not because I even really think he deserved to know, but she just kept blaming herself and didn’t want to bother him. I think this was giving him too much credit. He’s the one who fucked her with no regard for the consequences. 

There were many sex scenes but they were all pretty vague and quick. Don’t know if I got more than lust. Never love. I liked when he kept saying there were a thousand places he wanted to kiss her. There was consent which was great but overall the relationship was just kinda boring. Overall I think this is still a 90s baby and I’m more of a mid-2000s on type of romance reader. I’m glad I gave it a try but think I’m just gonna read some more recent Bev books instead of starting at the beginning.

⭐️⭐️.5/5
