& Then There Was You by Tay Mo'Nae

A Review By: NJH

All Sevyn wanted was to finish law school and make her late grandmother proud. She was never the one to color outside the lines or go against the rules. When Sevyn is suddenly faced with past due bills and eviction, she becomes overwhelmed trying to stay above water. What she didn't expect was the offer to help her with all her troubles. The only problem is it goes against all her morals.

Nasir is content in his relationship with his long-term girlfriend. The two of them have an understanding. Inviting another partner in the bedroom has never been an issue—until now. When Sevyn joins the couple for one night of pleasure, Nasir instantly becomes attracted to the innocence surrounding her. Soon he begins to question his current relationship and finds it hard to stay away from Sevyn.

While Sevyn tries to fight the brewing desire she has for Nasir, he embraces it. What neither of them counted on was a fatal encounter that could take the both of them out before they even begin.

An installment in a Series? Yes

Narrator (s): Ja’Air Bush, Winston James

Life happens and Sevyn never knows what situation she will find herself in. The journey of the decision that was made is about to be wild.

Oh, it's the drama for me. But there is a storyline, not just drama; it's going somewhere. I liked the relationship between the characters. The narration was okay.

The pronunciations were off on a few names and words, and there was a bit of an issue with the consistency of characters’ voices.
