Publisher's Summary

Okay…where do we pick up? Where we left off, of course.

Tori’s afraid, but putting forth her toughest exterior to forge ahead with the mess she’s made. And Ashton? Well, he’s confused and angry. It’s his last semester, one that had been planned meticulously by himself and others well before she even knew what a Panther was.

“You think it’s possible to put the genie back in the f--kin’ bottle now?” Here he was again, saying cryptic things, using phrases that went over her head. “What more can I say? What do you want me to do?"

Will Tori can fight her way out of the quandary she’s created at BSU? Will Ashton’s well-planned future be derailed by the new underdog-turned-"banger" on campus?

On my gosh!

I just listened to the first installment 2 weeks ago and I couldn't wait 2 weeks for next installment on Audibles, I had to buy the kindle version. There's so much to love about this book that I don't know where to start. I haven't read a book where I've been so engrossed in the characters. I just wanted them to succeed. This is a beautiful story and I encourage everyone to listen. The narrators are fantastic! They really bring the characters to life. I will be binge reading Love Belvin books. I'm so happy I discovered this author. Can't wait for the 3rd installment!

Unmuted Heartbreak!

Book 2 finds us exploring the “what if” of Nabby Girl and Ashton Spencer. What a love affair it was. These two youngsters were imperfectly perfect for each other. If they could both get over their mental hurdles of others’ expectations and perceptions, they could’ve turned the corner. In fact, you’ll crave, plead, yell, and cry to see them overcome and win together. Just as there is a glimmer of hope, it is snatched away by the maliciousness of those surrounding them (in particular NJ, Avery, and Pettiford - whom should all die slow deaths), which leads to a train wreck of unfortunate events. By the end, you are gutted with heartbreak, but hope lies just around the corner.

Gripping ... has me wanting more. I need more!

This story right here ... bay bee!! It was everything to me. The way Ashton falls for her and the way she molds to him is like something that transcends the pages and voices reading. These narrators put me right there in the scene and nothing makes me happier. The series is definitely named appropriately and even though I kind of expected things to go as they did in the end... I sure enjoyed getting there. This story resonates with me on so many levels and I need this to be on the big screen in one form or the other. I love the references to the Stenton Rogers and especially the Ellis family ... SADIK!!!... (note to author...I hope that series will be on audible as well). The performance by the narrators was top tier as usual. Black authors out there... take note ... this is how you write for the culture. Don’t go half on anything written for us and by his... give 1000% every time. LoveBelvin... from top to bottom I thank you! One million times over. Blessing from above and prayers all around.

It was ok

Story was ok but was a little disappointed with how it ended and so many things left up in the air. To spend 16 hrs listening and still be unfinished was a little heartbreaking but the narrators were awesome. Hopefully there is a part 3 that is in the present since last 2 was all in the past.

Surprisingly, I loved it!

Book one wasn't my favorite with all of the childish banter and immature characters so I didn't know what to expect for book two. Also, because of its length I thought it would drag with meaningless details but I am pleasantly surprised how much I loved this book! This was a great continuation packed full of details that had my emotions all over the place. Some parts were still irritating to hear, especially regarding the "mean humans", but that daggon Ashton Spencer has completely won me over early in this book. I was so happy that he and Tori formed a real connection and was sad to see Tori go through so much by herself in the end. I hope book 3 will be on Audible soon, but because I need to know what is going on now, I am just gonna start reading the book- and I am hopeful that my questions will be answered fast.

Loved

great story line and coming of age. It was definitely something they could have happened to several people.. it could be relatable in many ways then one

Love It!

I’ve actually read this book on kindle, but decided to download it on audible because I can listen to books while I’m at my desk at work. It’s the best thing in the world to make my day go by.

Interesting read

Story lacked romance; sex scenes seem to appear out of nowhere. Story was drawn out and could have been made one book. Hard to get through book 1 and 2. I was expecting to hear about how lead character became a boxer. Characters barely came to life. I’m not interested in book 3.

Love it

I’ve read this series when it first came out. The audiobook is so much more! The narrators - LOVE THEM.

Fireworks 💥🔥🔥🔥

I love me some Love Belvin, her storytelling is so awesome. The perception of both characters expressed excellent. The narrators were great. Excellent read/audiobook. 💐💐💐
