Trying to put past hurts behind you is hard when your ex is a fool, but buoyed by child support and alimony, Jo Walker is moving forward with her life, pursuing a career, raising her little girl, and trying to live in peace. She believes she has all the bases covered in her world. But what about her heart? Rap legend Everett "Big South" McClain is divorced, too, knows all about failed relationships, and has relegated his love life to casual connections rather than pursuing something real. That is, until he lays eyes on Jo.

Chocolate flavored romance
This is my first audiobook with all African-American characters. It was a different type of story to what I'm used to but it was different in a good way. This book had a message about helping others less fortunate, about not judging people without knowing them and that the important things in life can't be bought with money. Nice and entertaining...
The narrator was good too and very appropriate for the characters. She added emotions to the story although her male voices were just ok. I would try more books by this author and/or narrator.
