Publisher's summary

They got everything they wanted...but never had each other.

Touré Wallace and Niomi Spencer were close friends at Finley College, the prestigious HBCU they attended. The attraction that simmered between them every semester was a question they never got to ask or answer before soaring ambitions launched them to opposite corners of the world. Both chased their dreams of grit and glamor as high-profile journalists. They got it all...except a shot at being more than friends.

Years later, Touré is an award-winning investigative journalist and Niomi is America's most popular morning-show host, but they both feel like something’s missing. When their alma mater recruits its most famous alums for an interview during homecoming, every look, every touch is electric. The air hums with what could have been, and they're tempted by what they could have right now, if only for one weekend. Have they traveled the world, chasing something special, when all it took was coming home?

Featuring the musical stylings of Southern University’s marching band, Human Jukebox!

Southern University is a historically black university based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Established in 1947, their marching band grew from a small group of students to a powerhouse that has performed at Radio City Music Hall, numerous Super Bowls, Sugar Bowls, presidential inaugurations, The Rose Bowl Parade, NBA games, and The Special Olympics. The band was eventually coined the Human Jukebox because they could play the top 40’s hits of the moment. The band’s electrifying performances move crowds, featuring intricate dances and formations combined with a mixture of old school, soul, and current hip-hop music.

Will they or won’t they. . .

Touré Wallace and Niomi Spencer were close friends while attending HBCU, Finley College. Despite the obvious attraction between the two of them, they never has the opportunity to explore it as their aspirations catapulted each to different corners of the world. While success was attained, love was elusive for both.

Years later, the well accomplished pair return to their alma maters during homecoming. It is here they are recruited for an interview. The electricity between them is palpable as each considers what could have been in the past and the opportunity before them now in the present. Will coming home be the beginning of happily ever after for Touré and Niomi?

Second chance romance at an HBCU

This is the first audiobook (or book) I have listened to by author Kennedy Ryan. She promoted the audiobook on Twitter and I decided to take a listen. I am so glad that I did. I love that the setting was homecoming at an Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Homecoming is always LIT at an HBCU and Mrs. Ryan knew it. The only thing that was missing was a step show. The narrators were good. However, if Mrs. Ryan does another audiobook, I would like to hear the male and female narrators together when they have a scene together. Since there were two main characters and one really important secondary character, having more narrators to make the story more engaging.

Overall this was a great short listen. I would definitely be recommended this listen to others. I enjoyed the story and the performance. I look forward to listening or reading of Kennedy Ryan's work.
