I think if you like urban/street lit and erotic romance, you will like this because this is very much exemplary of this genre. I’m a fan of the secret baby/surprise pregnancy trope so this was up my ally. I did like the main characters, Dallas, just out of prison and working to stay on a legal path, and Latisha, heiress to a drug baronetcy grieving the loss of her father and the decline of a toxic relationship. I think the way they got together was messy and a lot could have been solved by coming clean early on, but I also understand Latisha keeping secrets. There were lots of dramatic twists to this- I appreciated what seemed like a realistic depiction of a heroine with lupus as a romantic heroine… I think ultimately I wish we had gotten more time with Tish and Dallas. But overall, this was okay.
