Publisher's summary

Cassandra James thinks she has her place in the world all figured out. But an unexpected betrayal forces her to ask if her "free black girl" vibe is a myth, or worse, a mask to hide herself from the world.

Bam Mosley, keyboardist for the alt-soul band The Prototype, knows who he is. He just wants to make good music and see the people he cares about win.

Then he meets her.

Sure, Cassandra is gorgeous and smart, with hypnotic eyes, but his bandmate's sister wasn't supposed to be this...disruptive and break down all his defenses.

She sees what he hides from everyone else. He allows her to take off her mask.

But is their connection powerful enough to survive life's low notes? Or maybe the true test of love is knowing when to let go....

Amazing!

I actually listened to Loving Cassie first in this series and loved it. I just went back through from beginning to end with all 4 books and I loved it even more. You really get to know Bam throughout the series and he became my absolute favorite. The way he continuously covers everyone with his sweet gentleness kept me swooning. This is a must read series that dealt beautifully with mental health issues. Jakobi and Wesleigh are amazing and second to none at bringing these stories to life.

Soulful Writing

This author moves beyond telling a story and expresses experiences of the characters through heartfelt and some time gut wrenching writing.

The story engrosses the listeners into the lives of these characters who seem more like people you know.

Jacinta Howard writes from the soul, not just from the imagination.

The series is a whole vibe, having me Googling certain music references and as a wordsmith, looking up specific words.

The narrators are the two best in the game. GOAT(s).

I loved being in their lives of PROTOTYPE.

Broken and flawed never looked so beautiful

OMG. Howard does it again, telling a heartbreaking tale of how pasts ghosts threaten to rob us of life and love. I was so frustrated with Cassie’s outward behavior, but wanted to simultaneously grant grace for the internal battles that I knew brought the instability. Bam’s character brought his own set of insecurities to the drama, but theirs was a LOVE story. Full of hope and raw connection. Gorgeous dialogue and imagery throughout. Wesleigh and Jakobi provided the eloquent and delicate narration that a story like this needed. I highly recommend the entire Prototype series...it just gets better with each character.

Boom, BAM!

I loved this entire series. I thought I loved Zay out of the fellas but BAM came in and “I think I’m in love again” in my best OutKast(prototype) sing song impression. Great writing and ofc the narrators did their thing. Really enjoyed this book. Wish there was more

Bam…Bam…Bam!

I had no idea I needed this series in my life, and after the first book, I knew I needed everyone’s story! I enjoyed the bits and pieces of Bam in the first three books so I knew I would love his. I had no idea just how much! Cassie definitely put his love and patience to the test all throughout the story, but his love was strong enough to navigate them through it all. Bravo Jacinta, bravo!!!!!

Loved it!

I inhaled every book in this series. I love love, young love especially. The author does a great job peeling back the layers of the personalities in this book and the others. If you want to smile at the end of a story then the Prototype series is it!
