Divine Timing by Buttahlove

Life obstacles can sometimes interfere with love. Buttah wears 42 like a 22 year old. After her divorce, she walked into her new beginning bold and confident. Buttah is a beautiful firecracker that met her match with Bless. Bless and Buttah learns that meeting each other was not a coincidence. They have more in common than they originally thought. Bless time may be running out if he doesn't prioritize his life. Will he choose love or money? Buttah strongly believes that before you can have a healthy relationship, you have to heal.

We all know that hurt people, hurt people. You can choose to heal by yourself or with your partner. You must first acknowledge that you need healing. Healing is an ongoing journey. Will Buttah choose to heal by herself or with Bless? ****Trigger warning, this book will discuss domestic violence and childhood trauma.*****

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Corrective Ink by grimreaper_fl

Love is lovely, isn't it? But what happens when the magic disappears and the person you're married to has changed back to the pumpkin they were before? Do you stay single for a while or do you look for comfort in someone else? Do you go through a phase of one night stands or do you conceal yourself from the rest of the world? They say the best way of getting over someone is getting under someone else, but not just anyone else would do for some. On a rare occasion, we find better than we had and it's up to us to unlearn all the toxic behavioral patterns we had accumulated in past relationships. Some of us can't, but there is the one percent that rises to the occasion and conquers. Which are you? What would you do? What are your beliefs? Where do you draw the line? Find out where life takes a soon to be thirty-year-old man after he finds out about the infidelity in his marriage. #blacklivesmatter #blackmarriagesmatter #liveinloveforever #stopcheatingonlove

"You trust me?" I look up at him, staring into his light brown eyes that stared directly at me. It felt like he was staring into my soul trying to read me. I could barely answer his question because I was busy looking at him. Once I realized I was staring like crazy, I quickly look down. "I do." ----------------------------- She's the girl you never saw coming, the unexpected one who calms you, centers you, and still she turns out to be the surprise love of your love. She gets you, really gets you like no one ever has. She is your best friend, lover, and soulmate all wrapped in the prettiest package. She is unforgettable, she is like no one, which is why you are addicted to her mind, her soul, her body, and her presence. You can't get her out of your system. You taste her and she runs through you hot like blood and fire. She never leaves you no matter what, because she too, knows how rare the connection is. You have never had anyone stick by you like that before. She is the safest place you ever know. You are soft for her no matter how hard life gets, she is there and your feelings never change. She loves you fiercely and you feel her love deep in your bones and in your soul. She is the one who makes you feel whole in a way you never have before and that terrifies you. But, what terrifies you even more...is losing her. 03/12/21-04/25/21 Rankings: #9 in africanamerican 9-16-21 #84 in urban 9-16-21 #113 in blacklove 9-16-21 #1 in blacklovestory 9-16-21 #45 in contemporarylit 9-16-21 #18 in blackcouple 9-16-21 #218 in urbanromance 9-16-21 #1 in saveblackcharacters 9-16-21
