About the Book
Lion Middleton
His family is the oldest in the Black Hamptons, and one of the wealthiest in New England. To outsiders, for decades, they have exemplified black opulence and prestige. But the world doesn’t know how decades of betrayal and resentments have driven a wedge through the heart of the Middleton house. Lion returns to the Hamptons this summer to support his father in a possible criminal investigation, and to save his family’s reputation. He doesn’t care about the Slurp brewery, or Explore Adventures. And he has every intention of finally destroying his brother and nemesis, Kevin. That is, until Lion meets a sultry, feisty Louisiana-born auditor who teaches him that riches and revenge are not everything.
Kamilah Rouse
The spicy fourth child of the Rouse clan cannot do the Hamptons under any circumstances. A tomboy and free spirit, she’s gotten along in life just fine without a man. That is until she’s tossed into a summer assignment at Slurp, Explore’s new black-owned brewery, with none other than the Hamptons’ spoiled divorcèe, Lion Middleton. What no one in her family knows is why she hates the Hamptons, and the one person in particular who summers there. It reminds her of the only time in her life she foolishly gave in to love. No matter what, she’ll stay focused on the job, and will never be a fool again.
The saga of luxury, romance, and rivalry in the Black Hamptons continues.
This medium-heat steamy romance is Book 3 in Explore Men of the Hamptons series. Continue to follow the hot, sensual, accomplished brothers of New York as they tackle wealth, prestige and self-love on their rise. Black luxury and sensuality continues in the Hamptons. If you love Summer on Sag Harbor, Summer on the Bluffs, or hit television series Queen Sugar, these are your stories. These books can be read in any order, but are most delicious in sequence.
My Thoughts
I haven't read the books before this one, and I'm kinds wishing I had. There were just some things about it I might have understood better. But if you like overly arrogant men, then I think you'll like this book. Kamilah was my girl from the start, but it took me a long time to like Lion. He did eventually evolve and grew on me. One of my favorite parts was the history lesson. It was nice to see something a little different than what we're normally taught."
