Summary: 

They got everything they wanted...but never had each other.

Touré Wallace and Niomi Spencer were close friends at Finley College, the prestigious HBCU they attended. The attraction that simmered between them every semester was a question they never got to ask or answer before soaring ambitions launched them to opposite corners of the world. Both chased their dreams of grit and glamor as high-profile journalists. They got it all...except a shot at being more than friends.

Years later, Touré is an award-winning investigative journalist and Niomi is America's most popular morning-show host, but they both feel like something’s missing. When their alma mater recruits its most famous alums for an interview during homecoming, every look, every touch is electric. The air hums with what could have been, and they're tempted by what they could have right now, if only for one weekend. Have they traveled the world, chasing something special, when all it took was coming home?

Featuring Southern University’s marching band, Human Jukebox!

Review:

I'm for sure in the Fall spirit. I seen this and HAD to read it. 

Toure and Niomi were close friends in college, but time and careers tore them apart. For years they always wondered...what IF. Years later Toure is an awad-wining investigative journalist and Niomi is America's most popular morning-show host. They are recruited to come back to their college during homecoming and they are instantly drawn together. 

I really enjoyed this one. There was no big drama that happened between these two. They were friends but always liked each other. However, they were never on the same wave-length...and then Toure went to France and came back with a girlfriend and a baby. They never got to have that chance to be more than friends. 

The side characters were adorable and I want their stories next!!!!!

This was fun and I liked it a lot. It could've been longer, but I felt the length was just right I think. 

The narrators were a lot of fun. They were perfect and I would listen to more by them! I honestly gobbled this up in two sittings. I couldn't stop and didn't want to!!

All-in-all, this was a perfect romance for the beginning of Fall. It even made me regret not going to a big college! 5 out of 5 from me.
