What I loved about this book was the growth in the characters. I love when I see people make better choices when they get a second chance.

Kwame and Aisha met in college when Aisha tutored him for statistics. Youth, insecurities and fear kept them for saying or doing anything about their attraction to each other.

16 years later, Kwame and Aisha run into each other at a bar and now they are both older, wiser and more confident to ask for what they want from each other. So let the sexy fun times begin.

The writing was steady and low angst but engaging. I found the story easy to get wrapped up in and the main characters really likable. Their chemistry and easy rapport with each other made this story a quick fun read. 

I took off a fraction because of the whole Angel part. I didn’t feel like it was well done and it didn’t seem necessary in order to feel a connection to the blue streak friend nor to feel like there was a guardian Angel. That aspect of the story wasn’t well done for me.

The story stood strong without that and it didn’t make the story memorable. It just dabbled into a supernatural link. The college connection was sufficient to bring Kwame and Aisha together.

I hope there is an epilogue where Kwame gives the Winston family the boot.
