I'm angry at myself for waiting so long to read this book. I have to say that this book took me places I never expected to go. First of all, the main character, Dahlia, is a police officer in Baltimore. She's no damsel in distress. She's strong both physically and emotionally. I related to her as a woman of color, as well as a dutiful daughter. She tries to do everything right for everyone else, but leaves little for herself. I can relate. I'll try not to use too many spoilers, but I will say that this book takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. I mean, she gets shot in the beginning of the book. Then enters Weston, a gorgeous doctor who ends up saving her life. She wants him. He wants her. Yet these two professionals are experts on hiding their feelings. They are imperfect people with complicated family lives. They think their relationship will just be physical, but they just can't stop the feelings from bubbling to the surface.
A tragic event ( a few o them actually) throw their worlds into chaos and it tests their relationship in unexpected ways. The characters were really well written. They were three dimensional and complicated. The book tugs at the heartstrings, but it also deals with serious subject matter, including domestic abuse, murder, racism, and trauma. I enjoyed it, finishing it in less than a day. I recommend this novel to readers interested in romance and suspense.

Firstly I would like to thank NetGalley and Victory Editing for allowing to me to read an ARC of Some Days.

Kudos to the cover for captivating lust and passion in a beautiful photograph. It foreshadowed the push and pull that would be to come for the main characters. In addition, the occupations of the main characters drew me into their story line as well. A black female officer in Baltimore shot in the line of duty and a handsome tattoo doctor coming to her aid. However I must admit that the payoff of their love affair fell tremendously short from what I had imagined. I did not know this was a part of a series going into it but I don't think reading Some Nights or Some Mornings would have helped my appreciate of the novel. To be fair, it was not listed on Goodreads nor marketed as part of a series. I enjoyed the friendship between Sierra, Soana and Dahlia but that was the extent of my enjoyment. The romance between Dahlia and Weston was lackluster, childish and in the beginning very cringy. While I could relate to Dahlia's familiar dynamic it became too toxic and I found myself becoming irate. I do not wish to diminish this book or the societal commentary that it touches on such as police profiling, classism, autism and therapy. However I did not find this enjoyable. The writing was patchy and at times uncharacteristic. I wish I would have liked this book more than I did. However I must remain honest.

This took me a little while to get into, I’d say a good 35% of the way through, but then I was obsessed.
Weston and Dahlia are both such strong characters, I was absolutely rooting for them, and the steamy scenes are hot! Major crushes on Weston and his mouth here.
The book also deals with domestic violence and racial inequalities in a really sensitive and honest way.
Very enjoyable read and lush cover!

I really enjoyed this book and all the characters. Dahlia is a strong cop but also in tune with her emotions. Weston is a caring doctor that really puts in the effort. I enjoyed the banter between Dahila and her partner on their rounds and about the relationship she had with her family. It was interesting to see the perspective of a POC police officer and how she impacted her family and community. The author was super detailed in her descriptions and made it easy to visualize the setting and emotions in each chapter. This book felt longer than it needed to be sometimes and a little predictable but it was a good read.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, it was well written with a good level of story telling, a good amount of steam and spice and well developed characters. The storyline deals with issues such as racism, prejudice, stereotypes and so forth but it is done in a way that is sensitive and comparative to the story. I really liked it.
