I was able to read this ARC and I am excited to read more from this author. This is my first book by her. I truly enjoyed this book and the banter between characters. I absolutely loved the slow burn between the FMC, Angela and the MMC, Kinston. I read a review before starting this book about there being too many side characters, however I believe the addition of these characters (Angela’s siblings and their partners, Kinston’s brother, Angela’s ex). I appreciate the representation of mid-sized/plus sized characters in the book and the realistic body image discussions that take place. Also, I enjoyed the portion about seeking mental health professional help for difficulties with trauma, anger management and overall forgiveness

Kinston’s determination despite multiple setbacks made for a wonderful read.


There are well notated trigger warnings at the start of the novel as well as a wonderful pronunciation guide for the names of the characters.

Black Odyssey Media and NetGalley provided an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

I had very high hopes for this Black Romance featuring a fabulous plus sized FMC and a super fit personal trainer/gym owner. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The premise was promising but the book was overstuffed with side characters, unnecessary inner dialogue, and descriptions of small details that didn’t truly matter. I had to force myself to finish 😔

Love on the Rebound is my first book from this author, and I absolutely loved it. The characters were entertaining and had me laughing out loud. This story was full of great friends, family, lovers, heartfelt moments, steamy scenes, sweet surprises, undeserving exes and so much more. This book gives us Angela and Kinston's story but their family, friends, and unexpected exes are very much involved in their story and their relationship. Angela has experienced what it's liked to be betrayed, unwanted, unloved after standing by and supporting the person she thought loved her as much as she loved him, but her ex-Nigel showed her differently. Kinston knows what it's like to be betrayed by the two people he thought he could trust but things aren't always what they seem. However, once he sets his sights on Angela, he's willing to risk his heart but Angela isn't so open to doing the same. Kinston isn't willing to give up so easily but he's willing to fight as long as he believes there's a chance. Their path to love is not easy and not without drama but the journey was s0 worth it. The ending was even better, and I loved every page of it. This is a romance story worth reading and it definitely left me excited to read Angela's sister Aquilas story. This is a story I will be recommending to all of my romance loving friends, and I'm looking forward to reading many more books from this author.
