This book was a difficult read for me. The storyline did not come together, and it seemed undeveloped. I am a fa of the author’s work, but Playing With Fire left me scratching my head.

This book was just okay to me but I did have a few problems with the book. First the conflict between the two main characters at the end didn’t even make sense. They wasn’t even together when this happened they were more like friendly acquaintances than anything. In any since it wasn’t enough to up and leave your job and your so call man over. And then the thing with Briana and Booker didn’t make any sense either and it wasn’t flushed out enough to even be included in the story. It was bought up but was concluded within a couple chapters. Overall it was an okay book but it definitely turnt me off on reading any more of the authors work if her other novels is anything like this one.

Enjoyed this book. There were some errors in the first half of the book that was confusing me. Lmao. “I was taking Zuri with me to pick up my daughter.” - Zuri is the daughter

I would have liked the plot better explained because I’m left with questions of like why did ole boy have soo much anger towards the main characters, was the video their smoking gun, was ole boy blackmailing ole girl, etc. 
also to me India came off a little thirsty at times which could have been due to her lack of experience. 
Overall, the book was really good & cute. I loved the banter between Zahi & Zayne & Orion.
