At the start of 2022, I resolved to read more backlist books (not that I won’t go out and hit the bookstores) and get through a significant number (if not all) of my unread Boof of the Month picks. With this book I accomplished both!!
Samiah’s evening plans with the new guy she’s been dating take a turn when she discovers (via Twitter) that he’s been dating at least two other women simultaneously. The video of her confronting him in a restaurant quickly goes viral; while that is annoying (but not necessarily surprising), she is unprepared for the friendship that develops between her and the two other scorned women.
They vow to swear off dating and men for a while and focus on themselves, which is perfect for Samiah, since she has dreams of creating an app, and she never seems to have the time to work on it. Of course, with timing being everything, her newest colleague, Daniel, is seriously sexy and smart and sincere…what’s a woman to do?
Daniel is immediately attracted to Samiah but he is determined not to let a workplace romance keep him from his goal. On top of that, though, he has secrets that can’t be revealed. Is he a good guy or just another deceiver bound to break Samiah's heart?
I enjoyed this story and the characters. I thought the chemistry between Samiah and Daniel was really intense. However, I felt like the pacing was off for me—given all that was going on (and there really were a lot of subplots), the book dragged more often than not. But I felt what Rochon had to say about women—particularly minority women—in STEM was important.
