I looked over this series several times, although the reviews stay in the high 4 -5 range,  the point where I'm willing to give a book a chance based on the reviews.  Then one reviewer describes him as a "White Boy with Flava"  "groan" and an ex-con  Really!  The last thing I want to read is IR Romance meets urban street lit.  Nah, I let it pass again.I'm on Amazon one day and the entire series is discounted, each book is $1.99 and I have an Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket.  Okay I buy it.The best $6 I've ever spent.  After reading it I would gladly have paid full price.Mel is a reformed bad boy and nothing you expect. He's got a little swagger which you understand better once you know his story.  He has loved Tia since the 5th grade when she was in pigtails and braces.  She on the other hand does not know he exist, that is until she needs him to pretend to be her date to get her family off her back and Mel plays it to his advantage.  What's a man to do when he has a chance at the woman of his dreams?  In Mel's mind Tia is top shelf and much too good for a man like him with her Ivy League Degree and high powdered job, but she could be dream realized.
