 I met Nazareth Armstrong when I was eighteen years old. From the beginning, my brother warned me to stay away from him. Told Naz to stay away from me. Our hearts didn’t listen. I shared one magical night under the stars with my brother's rival, thinking it was the start of a once-in-a-lifetime something. But one awful moment ended it all. Years later when we meet again, we’ve both pursued our dreams, lived a little, found success…but never found love. What began as a tiny flame when we were young now threatens to consume us. I’m more drawn to Naz than ever, but his complicated history with my brother makes whatever this could be…nearly impossible. But Naz accepts impossible as a dare. Through his clever maneuvering and dogged determination, I find myself on a yacht with him and his friends cruising through the Mediterranean. It’s a whirlwind set ablaze. Away from reality, surrendering to the tender heat of his touch, I forget that everything could burn. *This is the love story of Takira, who first appears in Reel, book 1 of the Hollywood Renaissance series. Characters from the HOOPS series also make appearances, but you do not have to read any of those books to enjoy this one. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** 4 Heart Review by Ashley This is the Hoops and Hollywood Renaissance crossover I didn't know I was missing in my life. I mean holy cow Kennedy Ryan! Talk about scandalous and sexy! Plus getting to catch up with the entire hoops crew was just so dang fun! I loved Takira's boldness. How she went after what she wanted except when it came to her heart. Thankfully Naz was having none of it! When he saw her again he knew it was his chance for them to get it right. I loved how he went all-in in his pursuit of Takira. Especially when it meant facing the past that could interfere with the future he always wanted. Whew! The Close-Up had it all! Family and friends. Gorgeous locations. Redemption and forgiveness. ALLLLLLL the steam. Naz and Takria's second chance romance was deliciously dirty but also tender and full of feels. I couldn't get enough of seeing these two fall all over again for the people they were now despite the obstacles in their way.
