My Sentiments:

If you are into fantasy reading, this read is for you. It is best to read the first series to understand what happened in this story and then get the finale. This story is 'a rollercoaster ride of love, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of a second chance at happiness.'

We find from the read that Noelle had challenges all over the place...from caring for her daughter, Luna, and her dad. This novel featured some fascinating characters: Regina, Man, Brandon, Beverly, Barbara, and a few others that will keep one's attention turning the pages to see what was coming next.

Mr. Big Stuff: Baes of Juneteenth Kindle Edition by Aja

Book Excerpt:

"Raymond "Mr. Big Stuff" McCullough didn't just get his name from being one of Pittsburgh's biggest most powerful names. He also had a certain quality about him that either scared a woman away or dared her to try him at least one time. That's usually all they could handle—leaving Raymond lonely most of the time.

Tracey Copeland had been looking for something or someone to break up the monotony of her life and when that didn’t happen, she begins to feel like she was losing at the game of life. In one of her most impulsive moves to date, she changes her life for what seems like the worse. But fate intervenes and brings her into the path of a man so big, he shakes her life up, and all she can do is hope to land on her feet. Fearful of the consequences, she has to decide what to do next: run once again or stick to her guns and see what hand life deals her. Tracey did say she was looking for a challenge, and Mr. Big Stuff was exactly that.

In the Baes of Juneteenth multi-author series, we invite you to journey to different cities to celebrate Juneteenth with the men of Mr. Black, an organization honoring Black love, Black culture, and Black history."

""BURSTING WITH THE MAGIC OF FIRST LOVE, IT'S EVERYTHING I WANT IN A SUMMER ROMANCE." —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

Named the Best Book of Summer by Real Simple • Reader's Digest • Country Living • The Skimm

Beach Rules:
Do take long walks on the sand.
Do put an umbrella in every cocktail.
Stay away from your first love.

    Sam's life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family's Long Island beach house. Everything should go to plan, yet the minute she arrives, Sam senses something is off. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there's no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right? 

    Yet being back at this beach, hearing notes from Wyatt's guitar float across the night air from next door as if no time has passed—Sam's memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt's skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split. Sam remembers who she used to be, and as Wyatt reenters her life, their connection is as undeniable as it always was. She will have to make a choice."

The young love these two had while young [Samantha & Wyatt] grew up and spending time on the beach was sweet, but something drastically altered their life as they grew older. All of this happens for these two in this second chance romance, especially after years pass, Sam meets Jack, and they become engaged. Be prepared for many flashbacks that make the story enjoyable. I will stop here and say, pick up 'Same Time Next Summer' to see how the story will all come out.

 Book Excerpt:

"Kincaid 

She’s young, inexperienced, and mystifying.


This two-week vacation to Alta, Utah, is something that I look forward to every year with my brother and my friends. Fresh off a breakup and preparing to take the reins of my father’s company, The Maxwell Group, I need this respite to make peace with my current single status. Except she wasn’t a part of the plan, and now that she’s tagging along as the only single on the trip, I’m babysitting her.

If we’re stuck with each other, we might as well make the most of it, so I suggest an arrangement. No strings. No promises. Just pleasure…and pain.

The only problem with our arrangement is that I want her to be completely mine when the two weeks are up.

Yesenia

He's older, dubious, and intimidating.

I’ve been buried in work and grief for the last three years. Going on a trip cross country to Utah with my stepsister and her friends promises to be what I need to join the land of the living once more. However, it’s no fun being grudgingly welcomed into the group by the man paying for the trip who clearly resents my presence.

While everyone else is laughing and loving, I plan to spend lots of quiet time getting my mind back on track, except our host seems obligated to entertain me.

The problem? I’m enjoying his company much more than I have the right to, and when he suggests a two-week arrangement, my heart says no, but my mind and body scream yes.

Falling for this stranger wasn’t in the cards for me, and when I returned home, I was reminded why I couldn’t have all that my heart desired."
