The Prism Series by Love Belvin
A Review By: VJJ
Mercy (Book 1):
Ashira, a belle from the suburbs, is the wealthy acting CEO of her father’s booming building firm.
That's when she’s not the dancer on the Gram and TikTok, dating the latest Black Hollywood shooting star.
To her, Jas, a construction laborer, is a walking conundrum. He’s fruitlessly ambitious yet steadfast in his spiritual convictions. He’s enigmatic, well-read, regimented, and poor. Oh, and a felon. An incredibly disarming parolee who wants no connection to her. Until he does.
Two souls, galaxies apart. He’s an unanticipated UFO about to collide in her world like an unmitigated asteroid.
Grace (Book 2):
Ashira is now in the know of Jas' complicated world—or is she?
The "construction laborer" is really a wealthy felon with too many inexplicable circumstances to fathom for her narrow worldview. Will Jas share more of his complexities? Will Ashira be able to absorb them with understanding, leaving the judgment behind?
Two souls, still galaxies apart, bound by love.
The unanticipated UFO has collided with her world like a ferocious asteroid. Find out if their unmitigated passion for each other is enough to flourish in Grace.
The Promise (Book 3):
Ojasvi "Sin" Sinclair.
Fast-forwarding three years after it was finally revealed, what's in a name?
Ashira now knows the man she once thought of as a felon laborer is far more than the task she'd bargained for. Yes, he's a convicted felon who works in home-building. He's also convicted in his spiritual walk, a savvy entrepreneur, laboriously supportive, a tad insane, and has possibly run out of patience for her. He's also the father of her three-year-old child.
Find out how Jas and Ashira navigate through pain, resentment, acceptance, and co-parenting while remaining solid for their child and being true to themselves.
Is there room for them to say more? Or should they simply say less?

This series centers around Ashira, who’s been affluent all her life, and Ojasvi, a kid from the hood but now wealthy in his own right. They are two strangers who share an undeniable chemistry that leads to intense intimacy and sparks a complicated relationship.
When a tale ignites a firestorm of passionate debate among readers, you know the author has woven something truly remarkable. The Prism Series is so intense that it ignited serious debates amongst readers across social media. It's a blend of complex relationships, racial issues, social status, ideology, faith, and self-discovery that'll leave you in awe.
The cunning Ojasvi, aka Jas, is an individual who, with his violent, controlling, manipulative, and sociopathic tendencies, shows no remorse or accountability for his actions, but can be loving with the right person.
Asira, too, is guilty of cunning behavior; she is judgmental and condescending as she pursues Jas, craving the thrill of taming the beast while ignoring the signs of danger and a series of red flags.
Brought together by fate in an unorthodox manner, they share an undeniable chemistry that leads to a scorching intimacy. Yet, their relationship is a bomb waiting to explode. Ashira and Jas are a hangover that requires immediate hydration. Their love is beautiful and explosive, but it is also rooted in evasiveness, judgement, secrecy, deception, and insincerity.
The Prism Series is a remarkable read that takes you on an emotional journey. It’s frustrating, complicated, and yet, undeniably beautiful. The characters are flawed, but their path is one of redemption, masterfully depicted by Love Belvin. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to explore the depths of passion and the complexities of human relationships.
The narration by Alyx Monroe and Winston James only adds to the magic of this series.
