About this listen

Georgia, 1995. A gentle push from her sister causes Francine Adams to agree to one date with the handsome, Jalal Dorsey. When his ex-girlfriend makes an appearance, a perfect evening takes a turn for the worse. Blinded by humiliation and desperate to put distance between herself and the drama, Francine flees the upscale eatery. Unfamiliar with Atlanta, she wanders down a dark side street and encounters a series of unfortunate events.

Troy Bryant has spent seven years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Upon his release, he realizes the man he was before prison is gone. Now, he’s everything he was wrongfully accused of. After witnessing a young woman running from a restaurant in the heart of Atlanta, Troy follows her hasty retreat down an unlit side street, forever changing the course of both their lives.

Troy decides to keep her - no matter the cost, and Francine is forced to need the man who stole her from her life. Two souls collide, and a dark romance begins to bloom. Unfortunately Francine spins an erotic tale of anger, love, and acceptance.

This book offered well developed characters. I loved the way it incorporated the political climate of the time, subtly providing a lesson on the experience of being Black in America in the 90s. The side characters were well-built, making it easy to see how this story could expand into a series. The multiple storylines kept me on my toes—there were a lot of moving parts, so paying attention was key. My only critique is that the ending felt a bit abrupt, leaving me wanting more closure. Overall, a very immersive read.

Stellar performance by the narrators!
