About this ebook

In this novel of family drama and sexy romance, a New York Times–bestselling author’s “knack for building relationships is excellently displayed” (RT Reviews, Top Pick).

Every family has its secrets. Some are just too hard to tell—but too hot to keep. . . .

It’s been fifteen years since the Bennetts were all in one place, at one time, and now at a total blowout of a reunion, four close cousins’ hidden desires and long-kept secrets will challenge their bond, test their courage, and change their hearts forever.

Taye is a hair stylist with big ambitions. She’s trusted the wrong men in the past and now she determined to land the right one, no matter who stands in her way.

Michael is a widowed airline pilot struggling to manage his teenage daughter, but turbulence comes when a new passion enters his life.

Alexia was the chubby little girl who has turned into a sexy superstar who seems to have it all . . . except the one thing she’s always wanted to make her life complete: a child. Now she has the perfect man in mind to be the father of her child . . . without his knowledge.

Rae’jean is the pretty young doctor engaged to be married, but happiness still eludes her because her past is shrouded in mystery. And before she can say “I do” she must come home to finally learn the truth.

Ratings and reviews

Could not put it down. Michael, Tate, Alexia and Rashean's stories held me captive. Every family has a uncle Victor and a cousin Sophie. Good read. I think this is best one yet from Brenda Jackson.

As I think about reunions last year I purchase some shirts in memory of my mom my grandfather and my aunt for our family. This is my second time reading this book and it was awesome. Two months after our family reunion we lost our grandmother but those memories are always going to be there

This book is Simply Amazing I could not put it down from the beginning to the end Mrs. Brenda Jackson
