When I say I could not put this book down? I meant it. 3 hours straight I was flipping pages of this book without a pause or a break. I needed to finish no matter that it was 1am on a Tuesday morning when I had to wake up at 6am! Natasha Bishop stuck her foot in this when I was bored and stuck on page 60 of another book for 3 days! There’s not much this book doesn’t have. Exes. Forbidden love. Black excellence. Tulum. Family issues.
Janella Cross aka Nelly aka Nelle is preparing for a 2 week trip to Tulum for her sister’s wedding. People are checking on her and making sure she’s ok because she knows the groom very well…he’s HER ex! Yes that is correct. Her sister Amerie is now marrying her ex. But that doesn’t bother Janelle at all because she knows that Arnold just wasn’t the man for her. Janelle is ready for some fun in the sun and some relaxation with her sister and her 2 best friends. What Janelle wasn’t expecting to do on this trip was fall into the arms, and the bed, of a man.
Rome Martin is Arnold’s best friend and best man. An accomplished video game designer and wealthy man. Rome has always had eyes for Janelle even when she was with Arnold so he always kept his distance out of respect but he wasn’t about to let a chance get away from him with the gorgeous backdrop of Tulum and the beautiful Janelle. The two end up sneaking around but they said it was only for the week. Could they abide by that rule? Would they get caught?
There was so much drama and spice packed into this book along with a lot of laughs and just vocabulary and a tone that is me. And don’t get me started on the fire playlist Natasha added to the beginning of the book. I also loved how Natasha made this main character a reader like us and used vocabulary us readers and bookstagram know. Don’t walk but RUN to your local library, bookstore, Kindle or wherever you get your books and swoop this one up ASAP!!
