Baby, Be Mine

Love in the City Series, Book 1

By: Victoria H. Smith

Narrated by: Troy Duran, Chandra Skyye

Asa

I never forgot her...Noni, the woman just as unique as her name who never failed to light a fire inside me. The last time I saw her I was in a bad place, a dark one that actually sent me to the Big Apple today. I was in the city to lead another one of my late father's corporate divisions yes, but running, escape, had been my true plan of intent. I had lots to get away from, my sins a laundry list, and it had been she, Noni, who got me out of them the last time. She did more than just fill a void. She fixed my messed up soul no matter how brief a time.

So why had I let her go?

Noni

I came upon him in a similar state before...desired by women. They flocked to the man like groupies to a tour bus and however naively, I had been one of them over four years ago. A vulnerable place sent me to vacation in Aspen and it had been Asa who found me, made me moan, made me forget and I didn't come away from that vacation unchanged. He gave me the most wonderful little blessing I could ever receive, my son Jalen.

Contains mature themes.

Storyline

Overall it was good but issue was the narrators mainly the female one. There was nothing there no emotions more robotic.

Now, Noni I will not lie pissed me off through the entire story. She was so self centered she saw nothing but herself not her wrong doings but everyone else’s. You would not forgive your sister but was ready to get back with your ex whom also cheated. Was mad with Asa but you are the one whom lied about his child. I just didn’t get her!!!!

Asa was messed up but was willing to work on himself he had every right to be upset with Noni but still called her when he crashed his car. But, Noni still found a way to focus on her self.

I listened to complete the book but I was so frustrated with the storyline mainly Noni!!!

Plot

We need a book on Willa & Keenan & Stefan. Part three My Muse Now & Forever would be a great title. I’ll be waiting to read it. ☺️😊😉

Black women CAN require justice....

Loved this story! The insecurities and build up of the relationship was written very well! I read this book second and 'Baby, It's Cold Out There' first and the storyline made sense. Only thing I didn't like was how Noni 'hoped for the best' and didn't want to 'wish harm' on the woman who kidnapped her child and didn't press charges? Often in these bwwm romances, and with this author in particular, the bw always seems to take the high road after she's been almost killed or close family has been harmed. I really hope this bw author doesn't have a fetish for ww taking advantage of bw and think bw deserve less than proper justice...in or out the courts. It's ok for a bw to want appropriate actions taken against ppl that have harmed them.

Female Narrator

I love this story! Now I’m a few chapters in and just had to review because the female narrator really draws you away from the story. I have had to speed up her parts but still so monotone and doesn’t sound like the voice the author would have had in mind for the female character. They really should audition the narrators because it doesn’t seem like they are. I wonder if the author has a say in who gets to narrate their book. Listen if you have the patience cause the story is great.

Second Time Around

This story was great it is good to see two people trying not to hurt one another trying not to fall for each other where they finally realize they do still have that love and feeling for each other great story great performance everything was good
