I enjoyed the unexpected meeting of Slade and Nicole, the interesting part was how a mean spirited woman was about to scuttle the relationship, until Slade's friends stepped in to shed some trutn on how love isn't about the color of one's skin, but how you feel. Though a short read the story flowed, and your felt the connection between Slade and Nicole, and loved the HEA.....enjoyed. Erotic, and hot....good for a summer read.
