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. 
medium-paced

I loooove how messy this book was lol. This is my first book from this author and it’s definitely not my last. The storyline kept me engaged and wanting more

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.

I am obsessed! The world building was perfect. The story drew me in. If this is the debut, I cannot wait to get into the rest!

This was a great debut and I can’t wait to see more from Novah Kaine.

There is a reason why Shon is my favorite and this novella here shows why. It is not easy to find representation of depression where the individual does not seek professional help but this? This nailed it so perfectly. It hit so close to home that I wept several times during this read. Depression shows up so differently for everyone and to have a character depict what I feel on a cycled basis.. it just feels so good to be seen. Depressed girls need love and care too! Especially those who constantly have to show up for others

This story was literal perfection
