Love on the Ninth Floor by Aries Skye
A Review By: KH
Trending on TikTok takes on an entirely new meaning when the ‘for you’ becomes a viral love story in the making. Aries Skye makes a sizzling debut in this flirty feel-good romance, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Farrah Rochon.
Zany and vivacious Nissi Richards always had her sights set on one goal—her career. As the youngest doctor at Optimal Dentistry, Nissi is the epitome of Black Girl Magic and a #GoalCrusher. Dating, however, was a different topic, or rather more of a non-existent headline. Despite her best friend's botched matchmaking attempts and her meddlesome sisters who insist she hook a man, love and marriage were never on Nissi's to-do list—at least not that she'd admit.
Kannon Jordan was a man of simplicity. Unimpressed with the whims of every short skirt that flitted by, or the sexy social media prospects, the ravishing fireman was content with the bachelor's life. A cosmic shift in his beliefs takes a nosedive once he crosses paths with a dazzling doctor in distress.
When Kannon rescued Nissi from a malfunctioned elevator, she never thought she'd see the handsome fireman again. Suddenly, when a TikTok video goes viral, the two strangers are miraculously reconnected. Will Nissi and Kannon surrender to their feelings, or will they deny their chemistry and the possibility of love at first sight?
“You will root for Aries Skye’s swoon-worthy characters in this powerful testament to kindred connections and destined love!”—N’TYSE, national bestselling author and film producer

A chance meeting between these two characters will have you believing in love at first sight. Nissi was attracted to Kannan from the time she laid eyes on him. Their connection was undeniable, but they both denied it.
Love on the Ninth Floor is very relatable. The twists and turns are not extremely dramatic but impactful. These characters possessed an emotional maturity I wish all humans could achieve. Aries Skye did a great job of capturing the dynamics of family relationships; the ins and outs of sibling relationships was spot on. With this journey of love, disappointment, sadness, and unsureness. the narrators brought their characters’ emotions to life.
These characters worked my nerves with the back and forth, but it was realistic.
