Let's celebrate Black History Month and give a nod to Valentine's Day with this perfect gem of a literary second-chance romance, compliments of author Kennedy Ryan. Single mom Yasmen is juggling it all, from her two kids, to her business, to her big dreams for the future. But while she's outwardly strong as hell, she can't seem to let go of her feelings for her ex-husband Josiah, even though she's the one who asked for a divorce. And things are much more complicated than they seem at first: the family is reeling from two unimaginable losses — and Yasmen, Josiah, and their two kids are all coping in extremely different ways. At the same time, the former couple is determined to heal, and both are taking their first unsure steps into the dating world while also trying to expand the restaurant business they jointly own. Emotions run deep, and it becomes clear that while you can control a lot in your life, you can't control your feelings. And who knows, maybe they go on a business trip and have to share a bed… This book was on most every Best Romance list of 2022, and got raves from everyone from NPR to Colleen Hoover (the opposite of Colleen Hoover is NPR, right?). Now, we're really excited to share it with you. And if you want to talk books with scary mommies every day, join the Scary Mommy Book Club Facebook Group. Sarah Aswell, Senior Editor |
