I always enjoy Naima Simone's books and this one is just a good as her others! The only thing I do whish that she would do is have a epilogue at the end of her books. There's always some loose ends that need tying up, which leaves me unsatisfied as a reader. Otherwise, the storyline was great!

I’ve a been a fan of Naima Simone since her Kimani Romance days. I love her writing style; her characters are so true to life and her plots are oh so good. Kade is a sexy drummer. Lena is a secretary and she is the friend of Kade’s best friend’s girl. When Lena’s ex-boyfriends comes on the scene with insulting remarks Kade comes to Lena’s rescue pretending to be her boyfriend. The two share a sizzling hot night between the sheets. Kade hasn’t been home in 4-years since walking in on his fiancée and his brother. Now that he is home for his parent’s 38th anniversary party he has no intention of showing up alone. So, Kade asks Lena to be his fake girlfriend and Lena agrees. Both Kade and Lena have loved and lost. With the two-spending time together their relationship goes from fake to the real deal. This an entertaining read with its share of drama, betrayal, and romance make for a very interesting read.

This novella series from Naima Simone is such a treat. I have loved all of them. Naima's storytelling is spectacular and always immersive. And hot as hell, every time.

Thank you to Oliver Heber Books and netgalley for allowing me access to Please Don’t Go, Girlby Naima Simone for an honest opinion. I overall enjoyed the book.

Not for me. It was sexy and hot, sure, but the Gen Z slang did me in. I couldn’t reconcile the author using the words flagellation and prurient, but then saying bet and “it’s giving” a little later. It kind of felt like it was trying too hard. And I know it was short, but I always feel ripped off when reading novellas; the story is paced regularly for the first half, but then totally rushed for the second half. Either keep the pacing the same and do a full-length novel, or rush the whole thing.

I received an advance review copy from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Confession, the title, and the cover lured me in, but I was already there because of the author, I love it when a book has my attention before word one. A book that pulled me in and did not let go; a quick read but satisfying. All of my emotions were on high alert as I was pulled under. I loved Kade and Lena, they have the fireworks and the angst, but can they let go of their pasts?

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

CW: cheating (past), family tensions

This is the third book in the series but can be read entirely as a standalone

I would recommend if you're looking for (SPOILERS)

-m/f contemporary romance novella
-rockstar romance
-one night stand
-fake dating
-major sexual tension
-starts out with a bang

I enjoyed every minute of this. If you're looking for two people not looking for love, and both in bit of need of saving go no further. This sexual tension was A+, the steam was fogging up my glasses, and I adored the rock star aspect. The chemistry was just impeccable and everything was executed so precisely in the space of a novella. I'll definitely be picking up the other two books in the series.

Steam: 3.5

In Please Don’t Go Girl, Kade helps Lena out with her ex-boyfriend so he asks her to be his fake girlfriend. Except, neither of them expects the situation to get so far out of hand.

Honest to goodness, this is your standard Fake Dating scenario but with more spice. It could have stood to be a little longer, but I appreciate Naima Simone’s decision to not add anything that was unnecessary.

Considering that this was the third book in a series, I didn’t have too much hope for it going in. I will say, however, that it does not require you to read the previous novels. Was I a little bit curious about them? Sure, but not so much that it took away from the story.

I would recommend this one who loves a quick-ish spicy read. If you like Fake Dating, Betrayal, and Forgiveness, then this is definitely for you.

Lena is a school secretary who is very happy with her life. She has had her heart broken so she is pretty sure she doesn't want to take a chance on romance anytime soon. Kade plays drums in one of the biggest bands in the world. He has no intention of getting into a serious relationship with anyone maybe forever. Lena has been attracted to Kade since she first met him. Kade comes to her rescue one night at a bar. Once they are alone together, they realize that their attraction might be too big to fight. Will they find lasting love or more hearthbreak?

Lena and Kade both have really good reasons to avoid relationships. The author introduces both small and large facts that help to develop the reasons for their aversions. I was concerned that the author might try to make the reasons over the top but instead the readers get simple bits of information that flow seamlessly in the story. There are lots of interesting side characters. All of the parts work together to create a tight story with plenty of emotion. I'm not going to share lots of details because the author allows it slowly build and unroll so I don't want to give any of it away.

This is a contemporary romance that takes place in Pike's End and Boston. This is a super speed love story. I recommend this book to anyone that likes stories with smart characters and situations that feel like they could be real life. I will read more from this author in the future.

A sexy drumming Viking. Who doesn’t want that? A comfort leading to some stellar sex where “ Tell me what you want from me? He growls the demand. “And use verbs.”
If that doesn’t hit you down low, I’m not sure what will.
Overall this is a low angst, very sexy book.

This was a sexy insta love contemporary read. It is book three in the Love on the Radio series by author Naima Simone. It was well written with good characters and storyline. It's also a rockstar romance, which I loved. The chemistry between Kade and Lena was blazing hot and the spicy scenes were sexy. Since this was a short book there wasn't a deep emotional dive into Kade and Lena's pasts. This book tried to deal with varying aspects of their family dynamics but it felt a little bit rushed as if more could have been explored. I would have loved more details on both of their exes particularly Kade's ex. I know some people find insta love stories hard to get into, but I love them. Looking forward to reading from this author in the future.

Every page of this book I could hear the song in my head but instead of please don't go it was please don't end! This story has jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, steamy scenes, and a sweet ending - another great read from Naima!

3.0⭐️/5
2.0🌶️/5

Quick contemporary, rockstar romance, dual POV

The chemistry was smoking and spicy scenes were solidly sexy. I loved the moments when Kade and Lena were either lusting after each other or in the moment of passion.

Unfortunately, if there wasn’t a spicy scene or flirtation between Kade and Lena, it was a short book to do a lot of the emotional lifting with that was setup. This book tried to tackle family dynamics, awful exes but they all felt a bit rushed. For example, I found Kade’s ex a bit too much of a caricature of an evil villain.

It is also hard for me to buy into an insta love story, considering Lena and Kade had been around each other for a week or so? It feels insincere to tell the other person they love them after a week together.

If you like a fast paced steamy contemporary music band romance this is for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for this ARC. Review is voluntarily provided and are my own thoughts/opinions.

3.8 ⭐️s

This is a fast paced, easy read.

After a one-night stand, Kade comes up with a plan for Lena to stand in as his girlfriend.
This book has all the trappings of a fake relationship turned real.

It's the 3rd book in series but works well as a standalone.

Decent read. I thought the family interactions were entertaining and the drama wasn't farfetched.

The Love on the Radio series hits all the right notes for love. Spicy with a side of heart, Simone turns angst into a melodic romance. Please, Don't Go, Girl, is Lena and Kade's turn in the spotlight. The emotions are raw, the temptation is electric and heartache is real. It delivers addictive, enchanting, unforgettable with a sentimental edge.

This was a short steamy read with a lot of emotional angst packed in. I liked all the characters, even the secondary ones. I really enjoyed the multicultural aspect. But, as with most short romance stories, the relationship felt too rushed. While Lena and Kane certainly had a sexual attraction in their first meeting, I didn’t feel any emotional connection for their encounter to be more than a one night stand. Nor did I get much in character background to Lena. Meeting Kane’s family gave more insight into Kane himself but the author did not provide much for Lena. Still, for a quick, fog-your-glasses read, this book is the ticket!

Please Don’t Go, Girl is the third entry in Naima Simone’s series, Love on the Radio. Readers get to catch up with the two couples from the first books and we are allotted small snippets into their current situations. In Please Don’t Go, Girl, Kade, drummer extraordinaire and Lena find out that they share more than just mutual friends. Kade comes to Lena’s rescue when she is ridiculed by her insulting ex-boyfriend. Kade finds that he soon needs a favor from Lena. His parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary and he asks Lena to accompany him and to pretend to be his girlfriend as a buffer. Kade has not been back home for any length of time since he walked in on his brother and his fiancée. Ms. Simone ably uses the tropes of fake relationship and forced proximity to craft a sweetly sensual story. Kade and Lena are similar in that they both share emotional damage from past disappointments and wounded feelings. They differ in that Lena still has an open heart and is more than willing to take a chance on love again! Will Kade allow his past hurts blind him to the love that is standing in front of him? As always Ms. Simone gives readers stellar storytelling with angst, heart and heat.
Thank you Netgalley for providing a copy of this ebook .

This is not the first book I've read from this author, so I was excited to read Kade and Lena's story. This was a good romance story although I thought I would love it more than I did. The characters were okay but for me there was nothing about them that made them memorable. Kade and Lena know each other from their friends, however, when it comes to them speaking it's little to no words exchanged until Lena's ex Ben makes an appearance. Kade comes to Lena's defense and from then on things get steamy and interesting between the too. Lines are crossed, feelings are developed and at some point, in the story everyone must face their truths. This story has jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, steamy scenes and a sweet ending. Although this wasn't a five-star read for me, I would give other books from this author a try.

Naima Simone takes us to a sizzling hot and deeply emotional journey in Please Don't Go,Girl. This title is so unique and it caught my attention immediately. And from the first page, I was thrown into this fast paced world of passion, angst and heartache. The author captured so many raw emotions in just few chapters! Kade and Lena are like fireworks together..they will either destroy each other or burn down the demons of their past together to start happily ever after. You have to read to know how they found healing all consuming love..

Bloody Sunday's drummer Kade posed as a fake boyfriend ans saved Lena, best friend of his best friend's girlfriend in a club where her Dbag ex confronted her. And they have a scorching hot night together. This gave him an idea. He has to visit his parents after 4 years, for their 38th anniversary. And he has to face his brother and sister in law who was his fiance and who cheated on him with his brother. He asks Lena to be his fake girlfriend. But fake things often turn terrifyingly real.

Lena is a firecracker. She made some bad choices in men who left her feeling less than deserving but her sass hasn't died at all. She saw straight through Kade's armor. Kade and Lena didn't have much interaction before that sinful Night club but they had a magnetic attraction always. Kade saved her and soothed her pain at a particularly vulnerable moment. She wants to trust him..trust the man behind the glamour and fame. Kade showed her the broken pieces. But it was hard for him. Being back to the home he avoided for years, made some old wounds resurface. The anger. The shame. The hurt. It was supposed to be an arrangement but Lena pushed inside with her sweet and feisty heart and for the first time, he felt something real and raw. And what does our possessive alpha heroes do in face of feels? They shut down. But Lena had enough and she won't let him run. It's his turn to chase her! So comes the grand gesture! Kade is all alpha with his larger than life presence, strong possessiveness and caring sides! And the chemistry? Is gonna burn your kindle down!

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

This was the perfect little snack sized treat of a novella. Rock star escapism that doesn’t skimp on either plot or heat in under 150 pages, I was thoroughly entertained and wasn’t left wanting more. Works well as a standalone but I will be reading the other books in this series.
