And he’s totally okay with that… until he meets Arabella. She’s got 90-days to prove she isn’t obsessed with lust and love. He’s got 90-days to prove he is capable of dating and falling in love.

The Main Character Was Me
This book spoke to me on so many different levels. I was so surprised that I was able to relate to the main character so much. I didn’t find evervpart of the book realistic especially when Denzel gave Arabella $30000 to help her out but it still was heart warming and endearing. I’ll definitely be picking up more from this author.

Interesting story about a woman who discovers, on social media that her man is married with three children! But when he gives her $40,000 and a gated community apartment, somehow all will be okay. Bella even admitted she never "questioned" that she knew so little about Nathan but as long as he paid her bills she would do for him whatever he required. First, there is a name/term for that. Second, ladies get your own money so that YOU CONTROL your own life, not some sleazy, deceitful man.
But then it gets worse. Broken-hearted Bella kicks Nathan to the curb and then has car sex with a guy she meets in a bar..... risky and dangerous behavior at the very least. Good thing Denzel isn't a serial killer or worse. Hate to imagine where Bella might have ended up.

Love is a beautiful thing!!
A new author to me and didn’t disappoint. I’m a sucker for a good love story but it was depth to these characters that really taught me several lessons about men, women and relationships. I would love to hear more from these characters. Great job!!

Such an enjoyable read with likable characters and a neat storyline. Denzel was one of the most selfless men I've read about especially when it came to Bella's needs. He was definitely whom she needed in her life. Great story

Love Prevails
Arabella fed off of being in relationships. It was rare for her to be single for long periods of time, which meant that she settled for less than ideal situations. Bella begins questioning why she has stayed with her current beau for so long when they only seemed to connect physically. As that relationship spirals, she has a life changing encounter with Denzel. Denzel was dream worthy, but also self sabotaging. He avoided relationships because he was focused on being stable financially. After meeting Bella he begin to think differently. Their connection was....Hot! The author held no punches describing their chemistry. More importantly they seemed to be the yin to each others yang. This quote summed it up for me.."Letting her go was hard. Thinking about life without her for forever was even harder." Denzel was truly #teambella and rooted for her to pursue her dreams even when it was hard.
The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the level of "sponsorship" felt unrealistic. Especially with the time length of the relationships.
It was a sweet, quick read and I would recommend it.

It was okay
I’m here for self love and finding your purpose which is what the main character Arabella needed to do. I just didn’t feel connected to the male character Denzel. I feel like I missed part of his story. This is a love story and I love love. I just wanted more from it.

I usually do not like publishing a review so soon after I have read a book. There is a process to my madness, where I must let the story sit in my mind and heart for a minute. However, this was not the case for B. Loves new book Everything I Desire. I think this one by B. Love is my favorite so far. The characters were relatable; the situations were real to me, and I was invested in reading and completing their story to see what the ending was going to be. The plot was detailed and held your attention entirely through the book.
Arabella is lost. She doesn’t know what makes her happy or who she is. Bella will stay in a situation, even if it is not the ideal circumstance. Unsure where her life is heading, she decides to accept the challenge her sister has put out there — being single and sexless for ninety days — realizing that this break is needed, especially after the break up she just had. What she wasn’t planning on was meeting Denzel.
Denzel was all about his business and making his money. His personal life was on the back burner, along with everything else that didn’t involve making money. That is until he met Arabella. That one night had him contemplating on changing his whole life around. Denzel wasn’t sure if pursing her was what he wanted to do, but it was something that his brother felt he needed to do.
My favorite aspect of this book is the friendship that developed between these two. Coming to the conclusion that they are actually what each other needed; wanted in their life. They were looking to take a different path. Overall the story, writing, setting, and the characters were remarkable. I think this is something that I have come to identify in B’s writing style. I find myself smiling when I read the last page about how these two found what they needed in each other. I am excited to add Everything I Desire to my Kindle shelf!

3.5 Stars
I’m a B. Love fan for sure. There’s no doubt about it. So one can only imagine how excited I was to receive and ARC of her recent book, Everything I Desire. Her stories always make me drool over her characters, and gush over her plots from the very first page. I must admit, this story started out a little slow for me, but really picked up after Arabella got a rude awakening and met Denzel. Arabella had a lot of growing up to do. She had wasted enough time giving of herself to men who didn’t deserve her, and she was in desperate need of a re-evaluation of her life. I think that having people in her life, like Duchess, who were completely honest with her helped Arabella to take a step back and see what she needed to do be the best version of herself.
The little “dating rules” implemented by their loved ones was cute. It was interesting to see how both Arabella and Denzel worked to hold up their ends of the deal. I loved the sexiness and chemistry between them. They were definitely smokin’ hot! I especially loved the way Denzel would compliment Arabella…sexy, but sincere. And Arabella’s blushing was too adorable!
At times, the story did drone on and on with too much detail to trivial things, but all in all, I enjoyed this story.

3.5 that I’m ok with rounding up
I enjoyed reading this story and watching the bond develop and grow btwn Bella and Denzel.
“You have to believe me when I say there’s nothing between me and my wife.” Nathan is a piece of work
It’s cute that Denzel needs to put his feet on Bella’s feet to fall asleep.
I hate the nickname Denny and I hate that the boned in the bathroom Denzel’s childhood home. That was tacky and should’ve waited. “Your family’s going to think I’m a whore” “They won’t. We’re grown as hell. And you being here and getting along with my mother so quickly made me happy as hell. Fuck ‘em and whatever they think.” This makes no sense. My mother quickly took a liking to you and it makes me happy so I don’t care what my family, including my mother, thinks about me screwing you in the bathroom
I’m happy that Bella chased what she thought her dream was and that Denzel refused to stand in her way. His love for her really shined through in that moment.

Tear Jerker!!!!
I criiiiiiiied! It was so beautiful. Denzel and Arabella were made for each other. They were what they both needed and they did balance each other out. This book was definitely love, lust and all that other stuff. It was a mushy romance that would have you giddy and squealing like a little girl. They say if you love something let it go, and if its meant for you it'll come back to you. I suppose it was meant to be, huh? I love the feeling B. Love gave with the story and the flow of it. Everything was going so well and then boom there was a monkey wrench thrown in the midst. I will tell y'all know, if you love love and are a hopeless romantic, it will evoke some feelings. She got me in my feelings like Drake. Very good story, very good!

Follow your dreams
B. Love works never disappoints, if I download a book by her I know it's going to be fire. I will always recommend her books.
Denzel and Arabella's romance had to hatch it seems. She had to learn how to love herself, follow her dreams, and just not depend on others to make her happy. Denzel had to learn how not let his career control his life, he would literally work all the time if he could. The bets that both of their siblings made with them changed Denzel and Arabella's lives for the better.
I'm glad that Arabella followed her dreams but realized that being a teacher was her true calling. Denzel waited for her and I think that was so sweet and admiring.
Overall, great read and heartwarming.

Omg, I loved this book so much. To meet the man if your dreams and to get to know him without dating him for 90 days is hard, but was done. Arabella sister wanted her to find herself and not just jump in relationship after relationship. Denzel brother wanted Denzel to work less and date more. Denzel and Arabella met and the chemistry was through the roof. Denzel got his sign and made Bella his. I loved this book from the time they met until the end. This book had self discovery, love and relationships that I want. Grab your copy, it will not disappoint!!!!

Feelings!
All in my feelings Ms. Love! Denzel was everything! How he catered to Bella, was so beautiful. Bella took time after the bet, and really discovered who she wanted to be, while getting to know Denzel. You scared me when he broke it off, so she could focus. I'm like, you can't break up a "perfect" couple! Whew! Glad that was only a season, and they can get back to loving on each other. I hope you continue on with this couple. Would love to see what is next for them. Great work! 👍👍👍

Arabella and Denzel are my new book couple favorites!!
I loved how they both pushed each other to become better people individually. I felt like her sister was a bit too harsh but still gave her the push that she needed to reevaluate her life and finally push forward with her goals. The way that they loved on each other in each other's love language without even knowing them was amazing. Something anyone would yearn for and want in their life. I loved how light yet still serious this love story was. Perfect for eight before the holidays!!

Love worth waiting for 💜💙
Hated that it ended because I loved every minute of it. It was crazy how Denzel and Arabella were both looking for different things but ending up finding exactly what they wanted in each other. Their first encounter was also crazy to me, but who would have thought that it would be beneficial in the end. I would loveeeeeee to read more about them but if not great read overall

Everything I Desire!!
Arabella had a habit of being in meaninglessness relationship after another she was with Nathan and she almost thought he was the one until the truth came out. One night after the truth came out about Nathan she was at a bar and she ran across Denzel. Denzel was about his money not interested in a relationship or money . Denzel and Arabella one night stand turned into something more that they both needed and that was each other.

Loved it💞
Queen B. Love done hit us with the love but again, lol.
I knew Denzel & Arebella were perfect for each other. That Kevin or whatever he go by was the typical sleazy man. I had a feeling he was housing a wife, but I didn't expect a wife and 3 children, smh. I was so glad she found out and was able to move on. Kevin was the man, he say if I see her 2 more times she's mine. This was a really good book, if you're into the mushy love stories like I am.

Good things come to those who wait
B.Love never disappoints me. Arabella and Denzel were so refreshing to read. Who doesn’t enjoy witnessing healthy black love. Plus to see their evolution and growth into better people, was an added treat. These are the type of stories that keep me reading Romance.

Gave me feels
This book gave me all the feels! I loved how their goals was opposite of each other! Hers was to find herself, not love. His was to find love. They truly did complete each other. They took their time respected each other’s needs and boundaries while still getting to know each other! Motivating each other. At the same time freeing their souls! Spectacular

Outstanding Read
Once again, B has kept me ecstatic reading a book! It was fate for Arabella to end up with Nate. Denzel was destined to be her soulmate. He did right to allow her to go off to follow her dreams because it made the both of them love one another more. Amazing job, B! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Cute
A cute love story that is well written with a steady flow. The messages in this story need to be read by any. Learning to love yourself and not lose yourself in a relationship is a message many need. The characters brought so much to each other, and survived their time apart.

Entertaining Love Story
It’s always a pleasure to read a well written storyline with great character chemistry and development. This story does not disappoint. The background characters add just the right amount of entail. I really enjoyed how the characters grew thru the story. Definitely worth a read.
