Erotic Love Language
Yours To Have
Quality time.
It’d always been my love language. My boyfriend knew that, but somewhere along the way, he’d forgotten. Feeling unwanted wasn’t something I was willing to tolerate any longer. I’d given him more than enough chances to prove himself… until he ran out of them. His lack of effort left room for my realtor bae to fill every void.
Tyrel knew more than how to close out a deal. Immediately, he demonstrated what it’s like when a man truly listens and learns you. He didn’t need to be told how to cater to my desires and made it clear that I was his… his to have and cherish for as long as I’d let him.

I enjoyed Tyrel & Kema. The book store scene really did it for me. 🥹

Don’t You Ever Get To Thinking… You’re Irreplaceable 🎶
Kemba chose what mattered most to her which was being a priority and that is and will always be more rewarding than settling. I respected that about her. Book 5 in the series wasn’t as spicy as the others and it felt more like a quick scene than the others. My investment in this friend group is what keeps me continuing the series. Their banter and love for one another has me ready to interview new friend applicants 🤣 Nevertheless this was cute ☺️

4.5⭐️! Kema finally got rid of “what’s his name” lmao! I knew she was going to get with Tyrel but had no idea they would meet on their own like that! 😆 I need a Tyrel in my life because their first date was everything and to wake up like that on Easter Sunday was even better! 🤭 I love this little series and can’t wait to see what’s next! Also my fave, Ember, had a really sweet update that I loved! 😭❤️🥰

Kema has watched her friends find love with rapid succession and her long time boyfriend and I use this term loosely ain’t looking to be worth 💩! After giving her the run around and making her his last resort and not a priority she draws the line once their date ends with her driving herself to the restaurant and him being preoccupied with his phone the entire time.
Kema knows her worth and knows that there’s a man out there that knows it too. When she crosses paths with Tyrel it takes zero point two seconds for him to feed into her love language of quality time. They are up for ours on the phone days at a time and any opportunity he has to be in her presence he takes. Yall this man took her to a 24 hour bookstore and let HER set the limit!!! Baby that’s a man’s man 😂
Kema and Tyrel were my least favorite couple only because it took their relationship time to build steam and in a normal read this would be perfectly fine but with so few pages I wanted them fkn by page 5 like everyone else did in the other books 😂. I still enjoyed these two and am happy to see that Kema got the love and attention she deserved.

Okay Kema! You finally got rid of ole whatshisname huh? Hell, this is book 5, and I just learned his name for real! 😂 He was dead weight anyway girl! You were holding on to him hoping and wishing he would be the man you wanted him to be. Who knew that man you needed was just within arm's reach! Rel the Realtor! Swooped right on in at the perfect time. They were quick with it, but just what the other person needed. Another sweet read! But, what about Mikki? Does she get a book too? 👍👍👍

Loved this story!! When Rel took Kema to the bookstore as a date I was screaming yes!!! It was so cute. Like yes spend a lil bag on me at the bookstore lol. This was cute all the stories in this series and friend group are so good.

These were all cute short books I only didn’t like how they all mentioned the same characteristics in all the men. Referring to the veins in their arms and if they matched the ones down below …

3/5 stars
this novella was so good too! Not as good as the others, but still good to keep be engaged the whole time. BriAnn really knows how to do bite size stories though, because i love how these flow.

• REVIEW: READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS: ALL OF THEM!! This book dives headfirst into a whirlwind of intense themes that are sure to captivate you! Meet the characters: Kema: A curvy powerhouse, best friend of Sevyn, Ember, and Mikki. More close to Mikki, she’s been in an on again off again relationship with a lame. But she’s missing one key element: love and a good man of her own that will treat her with respect and support her, not cheat on her and treat her badly. Tyrel: A real estate mogul, gets the job done. Loves his family fiercely and can’t wait to get to know Kema. Spoiler Alert! Trying to give her man a chance once more but it is disastrous. She really tried to make it work but it’s time to put herself. Who would’ve thought that a terrible date with her “boyfriend”, would be the catalyst to a beautiful relationship with a real man. As, stated before, what I love most is how the author uplifts African American characters without falling into stereotypes. Instead of being portrayed as loud or caught up in negativity, these characters are smart, entrepreneurial, and fiercely supportive of one another. The bonds between them are unbreakable, showcasing a beautiful sense of community and empowerment. If you’re looking for a story that celebrates love and ambition while breaking molds, look no further! I’m definitely on board to read more from BriAnn. You won’t want to miss this one!

Rel 😍
I'm thrilled that Kema finally ditched that guy (his name isn't even worth remembering) and found herself a true gentleman who understands how to treat her right. The moment Rel took her to that late-night spot, I was totally sold—girl, you better hold onto him! That other dude had no clue how to appreciate a woman like Kema. Rel, on the other hand, seemed to know precisely how to make her happy. At this point, Rel's topping my list of favorites in the series, but let's see if he keeps that spot in the next book.

Quality Time- This is a love language that I've never required. I've always enjoyed my me time. However, I know several women who crave the companionship and the feelings expressed by Kema were matched so many of their sentiments.
This was a feel-good butterfly in my tummy story. Very sweet, very laid back. Slow burn, low spice but it's intense once we get it. Very satisfying.

Kema my poor girl went through it with “Whatshisname” but I’m glad she wasted no time picking herself back up and going after what she wanted and deserved. Rel babyyyyyyyyy he had me as soon as he took her to FRO for their date. He handled her like a real man should and wanted no games playing with her.

Love this series literally gives you all the feels in a short amount of time making you wanna wish for more and more of these people. It’s littt the group having a bundle joining the crew 😭 I’m not surprised with the way they all get it on a pop now it’s Mikki turn hopefully. I’m sorry Ms. BriAnn we need a longer book on all of them together maybe just a catch up on the future fast forward of their love or something because I love them all because they just show the black joy, worth, growth and successfulness and especially love in all forms make it relationships or friends ships or family you name it. I love how Kema knows her worth and time and wasn’t afraid to get the stepping when not getting what she needed and Tyrel gave her all that and some which made it overwhelmingly good. Y’all won’t regret the read enjoy and soak it up ❤️

short & sweet I think I found my book bae for this series!
Rel is the one! I won’t share details but I think he hit my love languages especially with his surprise 😍 I believe we have more than one love language …most people are a medley of love languages ! Lol
I love how each book in this series includes the friend circle as additional characters are added if needed! It feels natural & is funny as well as sexy. It gives a modern vibe to the “living single” sitcom with more sex scenes 😂😂😂❤️📚❤️

Book 5 for the win!
I thought I was in love with books 1-4, but Kema & Tyrel have my heart! Everything about this book was so me! In my mind, for years now I’ve said that books & plants were my own special love languages and a man that bought me either would be my husband so I felt Kema on a cellular level when she text that in the group chat!!! Tyrel was the epitome of applying pressure and being intentional! And FRO?!?! My hearts dream!

Kema and Tyrel
I love this book! I know it took courage to finally put herself first and leave Darren alone. He couldn’t sit at the table with her for more ten minutes without staring at his phone. The mess up part was he got up from the table and left her there for a nice amount of time. I glad Tyrel swooped in and let her know what it was for real. She knew she deserved better and got better when she decided to give Tyrel a chance.

BriAnne brought us all of the feels with this short, well written story. I absolutely lovedThe way that loved the was the ladies bonded and loved each other. Kema knew her worth and decided to get out of a dead end relationship and Tyrel was there to pick up the pieces and give her everything that she wanted and needed. A man after my own heart. Can’t wait to read more about FRO.

Great Read
Kema just wanted to be loved unconditionally! Tyrel came through and accepted the position fully after Darren fumbled his position! Tyrel came in full force loving Kema correctly and whole heartedly. He knew that she would be his one eventually just like she knew the same about him. Awesome read!

Kema and Rel meet again when Kema is finding out that the man she keeps making time for doesn't have any for her.
I love that Kema untangled herself from that man--she definitely deserved better than someone who can't stay off their phone during your promised time with them. Rel came in like smooth, suave, ninja and made his interest known. I love that he didn't hold back. He found a way to be where Kema was and show her she was his focus. That's pretty sexy. And the bookstore date!!! That's a romantic man right there.

I’m not gonna lie I need more of these stories. I am so hoping for followups to everyone of them. These were so expertly created to depict love and lust in an amazingly balanced way. I will recommend these to every women and man I know. Something can be taken from it by both sex’s!!

Focuses on the love langauge quality time by telling the story of Kema the FMC and Tyrel and MMC . After a long time of feeling neglected by her boyfriend kema runs into Tyrel again after a while and their chemistry led to them dating. The plot was there and the smut was definitely less than the first few books but it was still a good short read. (Holiday theme: Easter)

Kema got it right the second time
Man the saying is true you never miss your well until your well runs dry. Kema ex took her for granted but that Rel we was ready and willing to be who she needed. Great read again

Kema and Rel’s story was my first read of BriAnn Danae’s but honey it won’t be the last. I’m coming for all the 📚.

That was the perfect wrap up for the series. I’m so glad WhatsHisName didn’t make the cut and it was perfect timing for Tyrel to swoop in and get his woman. Everything was beautiful and organic. I loved it from beginning to end
