Allow Me To Love You
Riley Fortune is a free-spirited music teacher with a soulful voice. Like some of the most beautiful music ever written, Riley lives her life to the rhythm of no regret. Blessed with everything she could ever ask for--a loving and supportive family, and a fulfilling career--the only song Riley hasn't been able to complete is one about love, which has yet to come her way. Being married with children is high on Riley's priority list, and at the age of twenty-eight, she's starting to wonder if the family she's always pictured isn't in the cards for her. Just when she's ready to put down the pen, Riley meets Zaire, the father of a pair of precocious twins she teaches. With his uptight and serious demeanor, Zaire is the polar opposite of Riley, which proves to be a turn off at first. However, Riley becomes intrigued by the solemn Zaire, and is determined to find out why. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that he possess the love she's always wanted.Zaire Holland is a revered graphic designer who has spent his entire life working hard to have it all, and at the age of thirty, his efforts prove to be successful. He has a beautiful wife, a set of beautiful twins, and is at the top of his field. Of course, no love story can prevail without tragedy, and Zaire is at the receiving end of it, losing his wife in a fatal car accident. Left to raise his one-year-old twins by himself, Zaire throws himself into taking care of them and making his job the spouse he sorely missed. His mother and brother attempt to make him slow down and heal properly, maybe even put himself out here, but Zaire refuses and spends the next four years of his life on autopilot. He doesn't see himself dating or marrying ever again because he's already lost the love of his life. She was it for him. Then he meets Riley.Will Zaire allow Riley to break down that wall and love him like only she can? Or will he succeed in pushing her away for good? *Please note, this is a re-release.

Riley Ɛ Zaire (Reagan Ɛ Pierre)
So, I don't know how I feel about this book. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. I guess you can say it was just another story. It focused on sisters Riley and Reagan and their love lives. I wished Asia would've focused on one sister at a time cause I feel like the characters weren't really developed well. She had enough plot for each sisters for them to have their own stories. I would've loved to have more about Reagan and her father. Same with Pierre and his family. But the author cut it super short and gave us an even quicker fix. Riley, the main sister, was dealing with insecurities and previous heartbreak, but I had no back stories. But, I must say, Riley was so enjoyable. I loved her heart. Pure and beautiful. Poor Zaire, single father still dealing with the death of his wife. I just wanted to hug him. Riley was so good to and for him. OK, I must say. What five year olds talk that? Those kids were grown. I'm not an expert on all kids developments and whatnot, but I'm sure those kids' maturity was way beyond their age. They were never portrayed being kids and I didn't care for that. But anyways, this wasn't a bad story at all. I know Ruby is about to bring all the extra and the drama, cause that bomb she dropped at the end...girl what?! Ashton needs a strory, cause that man was so sweet.

Loved it!😍😍
This book was sooo romantic and sweet. It was well written and I loved the storyline to its entirety. You couldn’t have changed anything to make it better. I fell in love with the couples as they fell in love with themselves. The chemistry was undeniable. I laughed so hard at the end about Ruby...that was a good one lol. If you’re in a romantic, butterfly mood... this definitely is the book to read! Fantastic job!

Really enjoyed this book and I couldn't put it down. Loved those Benson sisters and how they had each other back. Well written and flowed really well, I had finished before I realized it. Pierre and Zaire were something else and I liked them for Riley and Rae Bae. So glad everyone got there happy ending and found true love. Can't wait for Ruby's story,cause she dropped a bomb at the end. Highly recommended and job well done Asia Monique.

Reagan and Pierre: they were so in tune with each other from the beginning and that only grew as their story went on. I liked that they both helped each other get through their daddy issues.
Riley and Zaire: mannnnn I thought Senior was going to play my boo frfr. I was glad to see him open up though. He deserved everything Riley had for him
Nowwwww onto Ruby lol that lil baby a whole mess!

Great read
I enjoyed this book even though Zaire was getting on my nerves at first. I loved how Riley wouldn't take less than she deserved. Pierre was the man he made Reagan face her fears and showed her a real love. Now I need to know how this man that Ruby done married.

This was a beautiful love story. I love the different emotions Zaire went through. It is usually the woman who does things like this. Good read.

Loved it
Loved it. I loved the bond that the sisters had never changed. I loved all the sisters but Riley was my favorite. I loved the bond that she instantly had with the twins. I am glad that Riley was able to be patient with Zaire. It was nice to see Zaire get some closure.Another great book.

Hot Mess
I know what the author was going for...sisters, brothers and love. She could have created something great if she took her time and concentrated more on just one couple instead of two...again...hot jumbled mess!

3.5 stars - The characters in Allow Me To Love You really drew me in and were extremely likable! This was my first time reading an Asia Monique' book and I'm not sure if she's a new author or not, but with some fine-tuning to this book, it will easily be a five star read. There were some issues with the placement of certain scenarios and situations with the couples that didn't organically flow with the storyline, but it wasn't enough to take away from it being a good book.
The Holland Brothers, Pierre and Zaire, literally found their fortune and future when they met The Fortune Sisters, Riley and Raegan. We also meet the baby of the family along the way, Rubu, but she still doesn't quite have herself all the way together... LOL
Pierre and Rae Bae were solid and didn't really put up a lot of fuss to make their relationship work. Honestly, it was quite refreshing to witness a couple be and bask in their love and life. Now sadly, the same cannot be said for Zaire and Riley, these two duked it out until the very end and were fighting against something that's almost unwinnable. But luckily they figured it out and got their ish together.
I sure do hope we hear more from Ms. Ruby! She dropped a bombshell on us at the end, and speaking for ALL the readers...... we need more information on that.

Oh Mii Gosh💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥
Asia, Asia, Asia...This book right here is EVERYTHING!!! I love how you explored three relationships in one book along with family drama that they had going on. I love how Pierre clicked so good with Raegan and pushed back when she tried to push him away. Zaire was caught up immediately when Riley literally bumped into him and they were both taken aback upon seeing each other again on the first day of school. They had great chemistry even though they Zaire was trying to keep Riley in the friendzone that didn't work out for either of them. Pierre and Zaire's dad was a real piece of work and I'm glad that their moms developed a true friendship. It's good that they got to meet their sisters, Amiya and Amalia, but their mom needs to let go of the past and put something on that man's headstone other than his name 😂😂 I was so happy when Rudy decided to stop giving Raheem a hard time and moved with the love of her life to California. Now, how she ended up pregnant and married to another man, all in one breath, is a book that I can wait to read!!!

(2.75) I liked the story and the characters. I don't know the author's reasons to write Riley's and Raegan's story together, but I think. both stories had a lot of potential, and they could've been better if they were separated. Then maybe, Zaire's process of overcoming grief and opening up to a relationship with Riley could've been developed more and better. Riley's insecurity/fear could've been explored better (She was low-key giving desperate. I understand her, but the man was still going through it). Maybe we would get more of Pierre and Raegan developing their friendship (more of when they first met), we would get more of Raegan actually dealing with her daddy issues.
Still, I enjoyed this book. It was too short, but still good.

Trying to move on
Zaire had the perfect life, wife, twins and a career. Once he looses the love of his life looses himself. He wants to hold on to her memory and not let another woman in. Riley is ready for love. Zaire and Riley needed each other. The twins were the cutest. Reagan and Pierre, as a couple, were probably my favorite. They became friends then went from there. Zaire and Pierre were great guys. Now Rudy, I'm ready to hear her story because that last scene had me laughing for real. Zaire's journey to love again, Riley's patience to heal with him and their siblings shenanigans were fun to read.

Five Star Banger
This was a great standalone. I loved the sisters and the brothers sibling relationships. Riley and Zaire were a perfect fit. I loved how she carried herself in regards to waiting for him to let go of Alexa. Pierre and Raegan's friendship blossomed into a beautiful love. Ruby......she is just goes wherever the wind takes her. Asia Monique is hands down one of the best and her work speaks for itself.

This was a good one!!
I loved the story because it wasn't so drama filled or super emotion filled but a perfect balance. I really didn't know if things would happen. Between Riley and Zaire honestly. I like Pierre and Reagan the best out of everyone though. I would have like to learn more about the younger sister but I really loved seeing everyone allow love to come in a s make them a better person overall

Nicely Done
Another will written piece of work. I just loved the sisters. The friendship that they have reminded me of my relationship with my sister. Riley was really a Godsend for Zaire because he needed to move on for those babies. Asia please let us know what the deal is with Ms. Ruby. That ending had me dying laughing. Until next time❤❤❤

Another good read
I definitely enjoyed both stories, however I was a little confused as after reading the blurb I did not realize that so much will be going on in this story. It was definitely enjoyable, so I recommend you go in one click this book. I cannot wait to read Ruby's story. I also want to know more about Pierre and zaire's sisters

I just love reading books about family. These sisters are so close. Riley and Raegan got their men in Zaire and Pierre. I love the ending. Now we need a story on Ruby. We needs to know what happened between her and Raheem why she pregnant and married to someone else. That was a shocker.

LOVE WAS IN THE AIR
This book was filled with love, happiness and over coming lost and facing our past. Now this book can't be the because Zaire knew Lovely and nothing came of the graduation party from nursing school. The father's path, who was the that gave him a referral and what about the sisters. Maybe this book a 3.25 because the author was everywhere.

Sweet Story
I've spent the summer looking for something good to read. I finally found it in Asia Monique. Her stories are sweet, fast and fun. I'm trying to pace myself, but I'm like a freight train now. I give big props for the creation of characters who are Brown like me. Bravo!

I give this book 5 star's because it totally wasn't what I was expecting. The sisters are so close, and I love that. Zaire and Pierre weren't raised in the conventional way, but that didn't make a difference in their relationship. I cant wait to read more from this ntm author.
