Set in 2025 but soaked in the soulful charm of early 2000s Black romance classics, Love on Replay follows the intertwining journeys of Brian Burns, NFL star with a guarded heart, and Khodi Enzo, a quiet soft spoken women -trying to navigate the world and her life in New York.
Brian is used to the spotlight, but behind the fame lies a man craving something real. Khodi, fiercely independent and allergic to games, has no time for athletes or distractions. When fate (and a mutual friend's birthday celebration) brings them face to face, sparks fly-but so do the red flags. Both carrying emotional baggage and haunted by past heartbreaks, they clash, connect, and challenge each other in ways neither expected.
Inspired by the dynamic energy of Think Like a Man, this is a slow-burn, grown-and-sexy romance filled with sharp banter, vulnerability, and that nostalgic flavor of Black love stories we grew up on. As Brian and Khodi try to navigate careers, friendships, and trust issues, they're forced to confront the question: Can two people who've built walls to protect themselves tear them down to let love in?

Replays and regrets
Synopsis: Five years ago, Sabrina Quesada made the hardest decision of her life-she walked away from the love of her life, Anna Shumate, to chase a once-in-a-lifetime acting opportunity in Hollywood. The price? A shattered heart, a silence that never quite healed, and a future without the only girl who ever truly knew her. Now, Sabrina is back-not for closure, but for research. Cast as the lead in a major soccer film, she's been assigned to shadow a real team. But fate has a wicked sense of humor... because the team's star player? None other than Anna Shumate-now a world-renowned athlete and the very woman she left behind. Anna built her empire from the ruins of that heartbreak. Stoic, strong, and fiercely guarded, she isn't prepared to face the girl who taught her what love was-then taught her what it meant to lose it. Training Sabrina is the last thing she wants. But the cameras are rolling, the world is watching, and old feelings don't die just because someone walks away. As they collide on and off the field, tension crackles, wounds reopen, and buried feelings start to rise. Is it too late for second chances, or is there still one more shot at love? Sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget.

NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO EYES ON US STORY! PLEASE READ BOOK ONE FIRST BEFORE READING THIS ONE. STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021Complete
𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬|Book 1
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
