Friends to lovers? There’s a lot to consider, a lot to hope for, and a lot at risk in a steamy and emotional romance by the bestselling author of Can’t Resist Her.

Peaches Monroe and Jamie Hunt are core members of their Texas friend squad and have so much in common. They’re successful at their careers in personal care.

Is pushing past the boundaries of friendship into something deeper one of them? The red-hot fantasy is there…but so is real life.

Jamie’s college dreams will take her far from her hometown. She’s already road-tripping to possibilities from San Antonio to Houston. And Peaches has obligations of her own.

No matter how perfect Jamie and Peaches are for each other, is this the right time for romance? Finding their true selves comes first. Only then can they hope to pursue a future of lasting love—together.

Sexy but stressed me out

It’s a good story. Very steamy scenes but one of the main characters slowly started to piss me off with the way she was acting, but it got better so I’m still sending love to the character.

The Narrator is brilliant but the dialogue could use some work

I loved the variety of voices used by Tamara, really made listening enjoyable. Sometimes the dialogue felt dated and unreal.

great

the different character voices. interesting and fun. I loved the exotic feelings of the chapters. A very good reason

Not what I hoped for…

This was my first lesbian novel and I ended it feeling disappointed. I live in Austin and appreciated the Author making reference to the city. So much so that I walked away with a few new places to visit. Unfortunately, it got to the point where I felt as though it was too heavily laced with Austin context.

The storyline was decent but I craved more steamy scenes and the voice of Peaches was okay. I’d love to listen to another title with more than just one narrator.

Can't Let Her Go

Wow! New-to-me author and I just wanna 👏👏👏👏

Got this book on a whim because I liked the cover (yes, I do judge books that way) and was more than pleasantly surprised!! The story was so good - a funny, heartwarming, witty romcom. The writing was fantastic! Peaches and Jamie are fiery together...I mean 🔥🔥🔥

And let me talk about the MCs for a minute. They're both smart, driven, strong, and caring women. Actually, their whole friend group is all of those things. Wonderful characters - from amazing friends to difficult family members. It was a well-rounded, truly enjoyable story!

Tamara Austin did a wonderful job narrating! She really brought the characters to life!

I loved how they used Austin, TX

I loved how they showcase college and success. it showed a real emphasis on black female advancement. I also appreciated the building of desire before each sex scene. Overall I loved the book.

the story was great... the narration not so much

the narrator really trip me up at times. the MCs was great and I really really really llooooovvvveeeee the sex scene... I might take some tip from peaches lol. Def recommend

Cute story!

The author clearly loves the color orange! Lol. Honestly, this was a cute little story. It was refreshing to see black lesbians portrayed as business owners and people with lots activities and happenings that weren’t solely “Hood/Ghetto”. I truly enjoyed the storyline. The writing could’ve been a little more developed, however, it was well thought out, and all conflicts will resolved within the story and a reasonable manner. It made for a good read.

The Narrator is one of the best I've listened to!

I liked the story and loved that all the characters had depth and intelligence. What took it over the top was the narrator! Such distinction between the characters... male, female and non-binary. When the narrator switched characters, you knew exactly who it was. None of that muddled one voice that just went higher or lower.

Peaches?!

Ms Thang's attitude was something to deal with, and I don't mean Peaches'. Sometimes relationship are work. I'm glad it all worked out and help was sought when needed. Personal preference... a name swap between Peaches and Taylor. 😂
