Resumen del Editor

“Triumphantly Black, queer and contemporary… The dialogue snaps and shimmers.” —New York Times Book Review on D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding

Music producer on the rise Cyn Tha Starr knows what she likes, from her sickening beats in the studio to the flirty femmes she fools around with. Her ever-rotating roster has never been a problem until her latest fling clashes with Jucee, her best friend and the most popular dancer at strip club Sanity.

It makes Cyn see Jucee in a different light. One with far fewer boundaries and a lot more kissing.

Juleesa Jones makes great money dancing the early shift and spends most evenings with her son, her Sanity family or at Cyn’s house. Relationships are not high on the priority list—until she’s forced to admit that maybe friendship isn’t the only thing she wants from her bestie.

But hooking up with your ride-or-die is risky. Jucee isn’t just Cyn’s best friend—Jucee is her muse. When Cyn lays down her tracks, it’s Jucee she imagines in the club throwing it back to every note. If they aren’t careful, this could crash and burn…but isn’t real love worth it?

I loved it

I enjoyed this a lot. Watching their relationship grow was so good. I look forward to more from this writer.

Black Queer Content

I enjoyed this story immensely. The author brought me into a world so familiar with people I felt like I knew, a strong sense of family and community held this story together and the sex/romance between the main characters was so hot! I'm looking forward to rewarding more from this author.

Loved it!

This was a great read! It didn’t feel rushed nor did it seem drawn out. Great story that I really lost myself in. Loved it!!!

That was hot

I ordered the book because I’m a fan of the narrators who did a phenomenal job as usual. I didn’t know what the story was about I loved. I’m from Houston so it was cool recognizing the setting and some scenes

And though I’m straight, the author did an incredible job in building their love story. I found myself rooting for love.

Spoiler . I also like that the stud wasn’t the bravest or turning someone out or domineering

I loved that shedding the armor was each of their paths to amour (love)
