On Us series by Nina🦋

What a fantastic read that is definitely one that I will always hold close to my heart. The Porter brothers are real, raw, and sexy. The trauma that these men and the women they love go through have you riding the emotional coaster but not without some laughter. Lake Porter is book bae for real and he has definitely risen to my number one and that’s saying something *avoids eye contact with Jahquel J.* the way he shows up not for those he loves but eventually for himself is a realistic depiction of what a strong black man looks like when he finally faces what he’s been running from.
