Rasheed is newly divorced and on his way hone after 25 years. He has two main objectives: open his new tutoring and activity center for his hometown, and get his first love Percy, to forgive him for leaving and not coming back.

This story was steady. It was easy. I love that. Percy was right not to trust Rasheed, but he also forgave and was ready to show his trust could be earned. Rasheed was a bonehead about some things, but he was teachable and corrected his course. I love how his brother, parents, and even Annabelle called him to the carpet when it was necessary. The homophobia of a small town and the couple's run ins with the bigots gave the story heft, let you know it was bigger than two people falling in love. Rasheed and Percy were sexy and free with each other. They were passionate and I really liked this story. And the way Rasheed learned to apologize and stand up to wrong.
