True Love!!!
This book was as good as I thought it would be. I was waiting on Xavier's book and I wasn't disappointed. Despite the insecurities and trust issues that both Xavier and Porscha had, in the end they both found what they were seeking, true love.

Four years ago, singer Porscha and former pro football player Xavier had an affair when they were both at the same treatment facility. When they meet again, the passion is still there, but Porsha doesn't trust him. She agrees to a friends-with-benefits arrangement but doesn't want more. Can Xavier win her over?
This is a steamy story with likable and interesting characters. I was a little confused in the beginning, so I recommend reading the series in order.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

What a way to end the series about the Lockett Family. Xavier Locket, former football player and R and B Songstress Porcia Childs want to keep it just as bed buddies, but their attempts at keeping it at that level might not work.
I enjoyed most of the secondary characters, except for Porcia's mother at the beginning, but I really appreciated her growth in this story. I enjoyed reading this story from start to finish. It kept my interest throughout the story.

An okay romance. It had it’s good, sweet moments but I didn’t really understand where the love came from because it seemed they just had sex when they were together. There weren’t many moments of just them spending time together out of bed. The author told us about some of those moments but never showed us. And there seemed to be so much miscommunication or not saying what they mean. It was a little annoying and jarring at times.

I loved this spin on a couple who have a history of a physical relationship. While their issues in the past were routed in misunderstandings, I appreciated the way these were handled, and they had a believably evolved from it to trying to be friendly, then acknowledging the spark that still exists between them.

Thank you Netgalley and HARLEQUIN for giving me an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The story follows Xavier and Porscha reuniting after 4 years and realizing they still had the same chemistry. They quickly rekindle their physical relationship and try to figure out of there is more there than just a physical thing. Both of them have to balance their uncertain careers and how to make it work between them.
Like for me Harlequin books and be a hit or a miss. Like I could be involved with the story and not the romance or the other way around. This one stays in that line and I wasn't 100% sure if I loved it or hate it. Just fair warning this book is heavy miscommunication trope. If you don't like this trope, then you'll probably DNF this book. It got to certain points where it was infuriating how they didn't just communicate their feelings, but I did enjoy the romance aspect and the spice was good. Some scenes where more detailed than other.
Tropes: Strangers to lover to strangers to Friends with Benefits to lovers. (That's a mouthful)
