REVIEW: What a way to usher in 2025! Award winning Aja invites her readers into a world “where desire ignites, love redeems, and intimacy runs soul-deep”. If that description of The Lovers Series doesn’t stir your romantic sensibilities, then I don’t know what will! The three brilliantly crafted stories, THE WEEKEND, FALLING FOR YOU, and THE ARRANGEMENT will definitely have you fanning, snuggling deeper into your seat, and turning pages. The couples featured in these stories are unforgettable and sexy as they come.
THE WEEKEND was released in January of this year, and it features Janelle Carter and Malcolm Pierce and a Playlist that goes with their story like peanuts butter & jelly. Janelle is celebrating her birthday with a trip to Aspen. No girlfriends or family or significant other…just Janelle, solo-dolo. As Janelle checks in at the swanky ski lodge, she encounters two things, a mix-up in the lodge’s reservation system, and a very well-put-together Malcolm Pierce who is also trying to check in. What’s a girl to do? Snow storm coming and no rooms available in this lodge or any others in Aspen. Can you say, “Close-proximity?” It’s going to be a hot, passionate weekend for a snowed-in couple as only Aja can deliver.
Following, THE WEEKEND, we catch up with Janelle and Malcolm in FALLING FOR YOU, the Weekend Bonus Story plus a Playlist to die for. FALLING FOR YOU is an Aja’s Newsletter Exclusive. In this story we find Janelle and Malcolm “flying high in the friendly skies” for each other literally and figuratively. All I can say is, that plane is the perfect “set-it-off” point for what is to follow. Janelle and Malcolm end up in another hotel suite, but no snow this time, and the best Valentine’s Day celebration ever! Malcolm is theee man for Janelle. What a HEA!
Last, but certainly not least, THE ARRANGEMENT, a story that proves when love happens, it ain’t a thing you can do about it! Asha Sinclair and Ezra Bishop have an arrangement. She calls; he answers. Their mind-shattering chemistry is off-the-chain! What happens when ‘the arrangement” is not enough, and the arrangement turned friends-with-benefits turned fake relationship turns into something else. One of my all-time fave couples, Zola and Khalil Berry (SHE’S GOT SOUL), are inside character roles. I loved this story. S-P-I-C-Y! Just like the playlist that goes with it!
I highly recommend THE LOVERS SERIES for your reading pleasure! It sizzles, it satisfies, and it has strong characters. You can thank me later!
