Miss Ma'am!!! Danielle Allen...please take all my money. I've never been a fan of short stories or novellas but Danielle Allen has definitely changed my mind with this master piece. 

This book is centered around Andre (Dre) and Malika and their steamy romance after meeting at a Halloween party. 

Dre can be the father to all my kids!! He's everything! From the way he's attentive to Malika's needs and wants to please her in every way possible. Dre is so smooth, he can talk anyone out of their panties. But above all else, he is possessive and all in when it comes to Malika! 

This is the perfect Halloween quick read!

This story follows Malik’s & Andre. Malika has just broken up with her bf who was cheating on her and decides to go home for Halloween + an old friends birthday. The night before the party her friend invites her to a little shin dig only she doesn’t know she’s secretly being setup, in comes Andre.

Listen from the initial conversation there were sparks between these two. They’re at a party and are the only two black people there so I mean IYKYK. The host decided on playing a game that includes a quiji board and neither Malika or Andre was up for that so they opted not to play. Andre ends up taking her home, it was also pouring raining.

They get to her house and whew tension is rising you guys I could feel it in my bones, the intensity of their connection, the playfulness, their banter there was sparks everywhere. This novella was SO.DAMN.HOT. I was like omg… oh my god… OH MY GOD!!!

Danielle writes these men who you can tell were raised by a strong black woman.. does that make sense? If you get me then you get me. Every single one of her male characters are a book boyfriend of mine. They just get it, they’re respectful, responsible, funny, intelligent, charismatic and they all leak alpha and dominance. Andre was all of that on crack. The steam and spice in here was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The communication? Whew bitch. PLEASE READ THIS. One thing about Danielle is she understands the assignment EVERYTIME. If you want some spooky spice for October don’t be dumb, read this

4.5 stars.

Fully read this because Tanya told me to and I regret nothing.

This was a very tasty spooky snack, and a perfect Halloween read. It has everything you could want from a novella--instant attraction, unreal sexual chemistry, and a fun plot to keep things interesting.

I really enjoyed the main character's vibe, as well as her dynamic with Dre as they hit things off right off the bat. Their chemistry was incredible, and the spice was pure chef's kiss.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, spicy read when you're feeling spooky.
