Loving Cassie The Prototype, Book 4 by Jacinta Howard
A Review By: DWP
Cassandra James thinks she has her place in the world all figured out. But an unexpected betrayal forces her to ask if her "free black girl" vibe is a myth, or worse, a mask to hide herself from the world.
Bam Mosley, keyboardist for the alt-soul band The Prototype, knows who he is. He just wants to make good music and see the people he cares about win.
Then he meets her.
Sure, Cassandra is gorgeous and smart, with hypnotic eyes, but his bandmate's sister wasn't supposed to be this...disruptive and break down all his defenses.
She sees what he hides from everyone else. He allows her to take off her mask.
But is their connection powerful enough to survive life's low notes? Or maybe the true test of love is knowing when to let go..

We made it, lol. It’s so cool to have gone through this process with the band throughout this series from trying to make it in book one to being THE band in book four. Bam and Cassie’s unconventional love story shows the fun and drama that can happen when opposites attract.
Wesleigh was so free as Cassie. Her voice molded to all of Cassie’s quirky traits. She became a ball of energy one moment and then a tortured soul the next. Wesleigh was so in character for this one that you almost felt like she was truly crying at points, and it made you want to cry. Wesleigh lacked nothing in this one. She truly left it all on the track. Jakobi not only made Bam a sex symbol but somehow was able to show that Bam was also a gentle giant with his voice alone. And the way that man says, “Cupcake,” should be illegal. That kind of intimacy is hard to find and Jakobi was able to capture that in one word alone. Bam was such an intelligent and loving character and Jakobi brought that in spades.
The only thing that could’ve made this better was actual music. Wesleigh and Jakobi did what they do best. They performed.
