I love a Valentine update! Avery and DeAndre did not disappoint with the hot scenes. Avery has me wanting to learn a routine or two.
Being protected by an Alpha male can be so frustrating. The intentions are pure but it sometimes comes across as them being overbearing. I love how the Valentine men love so hard and stops at nothing to show and nurturing their women. Even when it hurts their feelings a little 🤪.
The make up was definitely worth it!

Alright Now!
Talk about mixing the spice in your marriage, WOW! I love this! Avery recognized a lacking and did something about it. DeAndre came to his senses after speaking with hid Dad. He received and appreciated the gift of sensual dance from his wife and acted upon it with much enthusiasm. This makes there journey to FOREVERMORE that much sweeter. Stephanie...I don't have words 😄!

loved it
I always enjoy revisiting the Valentines. This was Avery and DeAnudres story.
Avery has an interest in pole dancing. DeAnundre is opposed because he doesn’t want her to get hurt dancing. They disagree of course. After some advice from his dad, he sees where he went wrong. Avery takes her classes, builds her confidence.
This was so sexy and fun.

Oh so HOT
OMG…I love the sexiness of Avery performing for her man. Sometimes a man’s protectiveness can ruin a good thing if you don’t stand up to the things you want to do to make them happy. I do love that DeAndre wants to make sure Avery is good and healthy. After reading this I am considering taking some pole dance classes 😌

Spice is Nice
DeAndre and Avery relationship is so sweet. He wants to look out for her due to her Lupus but no in an overbearing way. Avery wants to spice up their sex life because she don’t want to seem fragile all the time. Their journey through understanding was great and ended with fire.

DeAndre is such a loving and protective husband, but was a bit overbearing according to Avery. It was nice how everyone could talk it out with others and listen to what they may have been not seeing of themselves and make the change. Bravo for the pole class and the continued love.

Stephanie didn't disappoint!
A great continuation of DeAndre and Avery's story! It was sexy and HOT, HOT, HOT!!! 🔥 I loved the way DeAndre went to his Dad for advice on how to handle Avery's desire to do something that DeAndre didn't feel was safe for her! Leslie is a wise man, and his advice was on point. This story was definitely 10 out of 10!

Wild Thought
This was a story about Avery and De'Andre Valentine. Avery wanted to take pole dancing lessons to show her husband how much she loved and appreciated him. Because she has Lupus, he was over protective and extremely cautious. Avery just wanted to be treated normally. She finally completed her classes and performed for him like a professional.

sexy Sultry
Believing in your husband or wife in a marriage goes a long way. Deandre learned the hard way that protection does not always mean you are right and it’s your way or no way. Avery proved that she was not just some fragile woman. Her moves but the fire back in their love life. Definitely Wild thoughts.

Lord have mercy, that was hot!!!
All I can say is "damn, that was hot!" Even the disagreement between Avery and DeAndre was sweet. I love a Valentine man. This story was beyond short and sweet. I can't wait for the next one.

I am always happy to review and read about previous characters. It is amazing how the romance gets sexier and sexier. I can't wait for the next Valentine or Rose story.

Great story, better ✍🏾✍🏾
The romance was enthusiastic and catching up with "Allison" great. The determination and stamina of " Avery" considering her disease was astronomical! Theme that I love, if you want something work for yourself.

This is so good. Dee is a sweet guy that always warms my heart. Yes, Wife. I am happy she stood her ground and showed that just because I have this illness I can still live.
