Unexpectedly touching. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I was not expecting to be as impressed by Assist as I was. Enjoyable, sincere with the perfect sprinkling of humor at the appropriate moments. My only criticism would be that Smokes character was not adequately concluded upon in the end, given the amount of attention he received throughout the book.

Swing and a miss, but performance was wonderful.

Revisado: 04-09-24

This book missed the mark for me. While I’m not familiar with BDSM, this was not the main problem. I felt the overall story had no depth. Too much time was spent on the erotic scenes and not nearly enough developing the characters. Anyone can write a sex scene, but not everyone can bring the storyline to life without relying on these as a crutch. I was expecting more from this author, but unfortunately I was bored - which is truly surprising considering the subject matter.

Enjoyable - I laughed so many times!

Revisado: 04-01-24

This was an enjoyable read. Characters were colorful and well thought out, and the narrators did a superb job conveying them.

Okay, impressive at times but not mind blowing.

Revisado: 03-19-24

I loved the moments that focused on the complications in the main characters’ lives. However, their actual romance was mediocre. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I would have enjoyed more time being spent on the more interesting parts. For example, seeing more interactions between the kids and how Juda and Soledad navigate blending their already blended families instead of dedicating so much time Soledad’s sisters would have been better. Her sisters did not add much value to the story.

Overall, I think it was a good book and the performance by the narrators was superb.

Refreshing!

Well written and a great performance by the narrators. I truly enjoyed this story. It was refreshing to encounter black people in a non-conventional setting.

This was a great ending to the trilogy. The bonus Liam chapters at the end were very welcome. Great read!

Okay - Paulette’s story was so poor

Revisado: 11-21-23

I’m sorry but Paulette was written poorly. How can someone so privileged have been so stupid? To allow yourself to be blackmailed because you had an abortion that cannot be proven by anyone over a decade later is nonsensical. I’m 90% of the way through with the story and I don’t think I can stomach another Paulette chapter. We could have done without this character.

Enjoyable story, okay performance

Revisado: 10-27-23

I enjoyed the story overall. I loved the characters. I could have done with a better narrator though. I don’t think the author did the story justice reading it - she was mostly monotone and sounded like she was reading instead of transporting me to another world. I’m sure there are plenty of more talented artists out there who would have loved the opportunity to narrate this story.

Disappointing, mediocre.

Revisado: 10-17-23

I really wanted to like this book; but that was not meant to be. The beginning was okay, and it had one or two redeeming moments throughout, but overall the story was bland and unimaginative, at times preachy. I was expecting more from this author.

Carl Weber doesn’t like women

Revisado: 08-13-23

I’ve read over 10 of his novels and I stick by this conclusion after this book. Monique’s story is completely unrealistic - we are expected to believe the same woman who could figure out a financial scandal by herself would also betray her husband so easily? In First Lady, she was proven to be well grounded and shrewd (not easily fooled by people), but he undoes all of this character development in this story. There were a 100 different ways to make her story even more interesting. Sadly this was not one of them. I’ve noticed a trend of belittling women in Carl’s books and this one was the same. Only reason my rating isn’t lower is because the other plots in the story were fine and the overall performance was good.
