I loved this story and how it embodied both women's fiction and romance. Being able to see your growth through self and love simultaneously is such an amazing feeling and I enjoyed going on this journey with Nina as she found those things for herself. Also amazing follow up for the Curves series!

In 'Plus Size Player', we follow Nina as she navigates multiples jobs, hobbies and men. My girl literally has a man to scratch each of her niche itches (LOVE THAT FOR HER!!). While on this road, Nina starts to realize that maybe it's ok to find everything you need in one job.. or one man.

I laughed, I swooned, I melted.

Thank you Net Galley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC Audio!

The Porter Boys were raised to give you a run for your money and that’s exactly what they did! This read was emotional and so well written!

I will always be an advocate for a novel that addresses mental health and how to conquer it in your own way. Learning and processing with Declan was such a treat. It's no secret that he was the outcast in his brother's books so to see the flip of that proves just how much of a gift that Ms. Carter has. 
All of that aside.. Declan and Elle were HOT! I enjoy so much how Endiya writes the lifestyle in a manner that is delicious and easy to digest. 
I would have to say that Diesel has been dethroned and Declan has moved up to being my favorite sibling. Will that change? I guess we'll have to wait until the next one

Infinity ⭐️s!

This has been my favorite read of 2024 so far. TM’s Blessed Pen has graced us AGAIN!

When I said I wanted more bisexual men in Black Romance.. this is exactly what I was asking for! The love between Kadeem and Christophe was so beautiful to be a witness to. 

Alisa, finding the love that she dreamed of. *chefs kiss*

I will say.. this one definitely had me hot so proceed with caution if you’re going to be reading in public. Carry some extra panties with you.

The banter in this one was hilarious! I wish it would have ended a little bit less abruptly but otherwise, I enjoyed this story just as much as Verity's

I have so many words and none at all! How did Terry J not get hit with the sequel blues bc this read was literally everything?! EVERYTHING! I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. The adventure, the storytelling, I felt like I was watching a movie. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE!! 

There is nothing bad that you can say about this book.. hell.. about TJBW! I won't allow it.

Infinity out of 5 Stars
