Publisher's summary

At the age of 40, Desa Rae Jenkins may be classified as over-the-hill, but with voluptuous curves in all the right places, she attracts Roc Dawson, one of the sexiest men alive, who happens to be almost half her age. He excites her like no other man has, but from Roc’s playa-hating uncle Ronnie to the baby-mama drama that comes to her doorstep, Desa Rae is forced to make a decision that could set her free from the man she’s fallen in love with.

The mere thought of Desa Rae ending their relationship sends Roc packing, and he must reevaluate what he has always known as the street life. If he wants to keep this bona-fide diva on his team, he has to make his case for Black love and leave the past behind. Then again, so does Desa Rae, especially when her ex-husband, Reggie, jumps back into the picture, causing more secret skeletons to be revealed.

Decent Story

The story was decent, characters good. I could hear the tone change throughout the story but it wasn't too distracting.

Whew!!!

Lord have mercy!! I absolutely loved this story. I didn't think we would ever get there but Des finally got the man she truly loved in the final hour. I was a little tired of the back and forth with them when it just felt so right. Des just needed to lossen up a bit. I hope there is more to come.

Highly recommend, Beautiful love story..

The writer takes you on a journey of a bunch of twist and turns but definitely delivers on the story line. The narrator was awesome and maintained my attention with her voice… I truly enjoyed this book.

Curvy Diva steals the show

Loved the story line. I love how each character is required to look at themselves and learn or unlearn from each other. No one is better than the other. We all are on the journey to love. The soundtrack would go low and was spliced oddly from time to time but the book was a great listen!

Overall good

The story started off good. I thought she would just kick it with him doing her cougar thing. But she started acting slow!! Chasing a young man and his women at 40 is crazy. He didn’t care about the child or her. She complained about every damn thing lol. A mess could’ve been better.
