1) Phire: I'm Just Saying by Iris Boiling (Book 8 in the Gems and Gents series)
Growing up in a family of overachievers isn’t easy for feisty co-ed, Sapphire Lassiter. With eleven older brothers and sisters, they all have opinions on what she should do with her life. Phire, as everyone called her, of course, has other plans.
No one promised you rainbows and sunshine. Lawrence Trent Palmer never forgot those words for they molded his life. LT, as he prefers to be called, became a multi-millionaire before the age of thirty. This granted him the means to accomplish his life’s mission: Vengeance.
He had a plan until, a fight, a dance and a woman changed it all.
After pulling Phire from a confrontation during a political event, captured on camera, LT is warned to stay away by her larger than life brothers. The feel and vision of her in his arms would not allow him to just let go. Feisty, opinionated, and unforgettable, Phire had his mind on marriage, family and a different kind of future.
With Phire at his side LT’s plan for vengeance is off, until the past stokes the flame and threatens the life of the woman he would kill—even family—to have—I’m Just Saying.

7) F. I. R. E. Reignited by Portia A. Cosby (I've been waiting for this one for ever, lbvs)
IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT, STAY THE HELL OFF THE STAGE.
Twenty years ago, four high school students came together to form what became one of the most successful R&B girl groups of their time. F.I.R.E. was as hot as their name, known for their natural sex appeal and sometimes risqué music. The bad girl, the golden child, the chubby, lovable one, and the pretty tomboy grew up in front of the world; and as they navigated the road to fame, they lost themselves amid the limelight.
Inflated egos, creative differences, personality conflicts, and addiction created discord among the ladies; but lead singer Shai’s decision to go solo ultimately ended the group’s eleven-year run. Though Shai never missed a beat, Paris, KiKi, and Reign were left to remix their careers.
Now in their mid-thirties, an unexpected and widely publicized reunion brings the ladies of F.I.R.E. to the table to consider making one last album together. With animosity and damaging secrets still looming over them, will they be able to move forward without clearing the air or will they each spill the tea they brought along with them?
