I wanted to read this book because I have heard so many good things about this series within the book community. I am always looking for new authors and a new series to read. This book was hot, sexy, adorable and I just wanted it to be like 700 pages and it still probably wouldn’t be enough.  

The book has two points. The first is Jonae Martin and she has just moved to Seattle, and she is ready to start her own business even if it goes against her own family’s wishes. Jonae doesn’t trust anyone and is determined to make it on her own. But something changed when she met Izekiel and now, she feels like something is changing between them. The second point of view is Izekiel Holloway, and he was content with his career, the people in his life and all that came with it. Until he met Jonae. One look at Jonae Martin and nothing seemed right anymore. In fact, everything seemed wrong. What he once thought was a solid foundation now had one too many cracks to ignore. And ignore it, he would not. But can he break down his own barriers to get the woman he is obsessed with?  

The way that this series was advertised to me was The Billionaire Brothers series by Lauren Asher but it’s black love stories and it was. It was beautifully written. Even though it was a short book, it was packed with so much – brotherly love, a friendship group who have all got their own issues but are there for everyone, controlling parents, autism rep that was beautifully written and I just wanted to hug the crap out of Izekiel. I love that Jonae and Izekiel were so heartbreakingly real with each other and they did want to bear their souls to each other and the trust was there to do that. Izekiel spoke about his mother and his autism and how it affected him, and Jonae spoke about the pressures she was under from her mother and the acceptance from her father and the conversation regarding her engaged and abortion. I love that it was sort of insta-love though they met in the first book. I loved Izekiel as well, he was just adorable and sexy and knows how to treat a woman that I would like a guy like Izekiel please.  

There were no weaknesses in this book. I wanted this book to be longer, some people may like that it’s only 150 pages, but I wanted 1500 pages, and I'd still want more. I cannot wait to read more of this series and more from these brothers. I hope we see more of Jonae’s twin sister and that she breaks off her awful engagement and gets with the other brothers because I could sense the chemistry there from the few chapters, we got of them.
