Never faking about you

Did I start and finish this today? Yes. Aubry J. is one of the very few authors that will have me laughing while reading her stories. Her characters are unhinged and something else! I was dying to finally read Lynx and Fire’s story when I first read Caught Me Slippin - my first intro to Aubry J. Even though their stubbornness was pissing me off lmao, this story was cute. And the twins omg. 🫶🏼 I got to the end and kept clicking for the next page and nothing 🥲. I wanted an epilogue/more/something but I’ll just patiently wait for the next drop. 4/5 stars for this one.

... Read moreMy journey into the vibrant world of urban romance took a delightful turn when I discovered National Bestselling Author Aubry J. If you're like me and constantly searching for those hidden gems that make you laugh out loud and truly connect with characters, then her books are an absolute must-add to your reading list. My first introduction to her captivating storytelling was through "Caught Me Slippin'," and from that moment, I was hooked. The way she crafts dialogues and develops personalities is just brilliant—her characters feel so genuinely flawed and relatable, far from any 'perfect' ideal. They truly embody that "real over perfect" vibe, which is probably why I adore them so much. When I finally got my hands on "Never Faking About You," featuring the highly anticipated story of Lynx & Fire, I knew I was in for another wild ride. I'd been waiting for their journey ever since their memorable appearances in "Caught Me Slippin'," and let me tell you, Aubry J. did not disappoint. The dynamic between Lynx and Fire is everything you'd expect from her—a perfect blend of humor, undeniable chemistry, and that characteristic stubbornness that makes you want to both shake and hug them. It's this raw authenticity that makes her urban romance novels so compelling; you feel every emotion right alongside the characters. You might even find yourself laughing so hard you're a little embarrassed, or cheering for them despite their questionable choices. That's the magic of Aubry J. What truly sets Aubry J. apart, especially for fans of indie authors, is her ability to create entire universes within her series. While "Never Faking About You" tells a complete story, having read "Caught Me Slippin'" first definitely enriches the experience. You get to see the groundwork for these characters, understand their history, and appreciate their growth even more. It’s like stepping into a familiar, fun neighborhood where you already know some of the residents. Her books are more than just romance; they're about community, self-discovery, and finding love in unexpected places, often with a generous dose of hilarious antics. The descriptions are vivid, the settings are immersive, and the characters truly jump off the page. Even the cover art, like the one for "Never Faking About You" with its striking portrayal of a woman with distinctive braids, often hints at the rich cultural tapestry woven into her stories. These aren't just stories you read once; they're the kind you revisit, eager to relive the moments that made you smile, gasp, or even shed a tear. If your current bookshelf is looking for some fresh, engaging urban romance with heart, humor, and characters that feel incredibly real, then Aubry J.'s latest, "Never Faking About You," is an absolute must-have. Don't wait—dive into the world of Lynx & Fire, and you might just find yourself, like me, impatiently waiting for her next release!
