Kyla, Kyla, Kyla.<\/p>\n

The na\u00efve heroine\u00a0from Nikki Rashan’s Double Pleasure Double Pain<\/em> is back in YOU MAKE ME WANNA<\/em><\/strong>, this time armed with the truth about who she is. This sequel picks up where Kyla\u00a0left off, trying to decide between the man she is to marry and the woman who stole her heart. When she finally does choose, Kyla has lost them both, and instead heads to Atlanta with out-cousin David to begin her newly-minted lesbian life.<\/p>\n

In “the gay Mecca of the South,” Kyla throws herself in numerous sexual affairs with women, avoiding at all costs a deeper connection. She’s still holding on to the hurt she felt from her two previous relationships that went sour. It prevents her from giving herself completely to another woman, afraid to feel any type of pain again.<\/p>\n

Until she meets Asia, the exotic beauty Kyla\u00a0spies one afternoon. Enraptured by her luxurious locks and ebony complexion, Kyla\u00a0wants to meet this woman and does after a set up by David’s boyfriend, Marlon. And just one meeting with Asia tells Kyla\u00a0that she’s the one. They begin a courtship, and Kyla has to deal with letting go of her past to commit to her future. Their relationship is built slowly, as Asia’s been hurt, as well, but their love for each other heals the wounds.<\/p>\n

You Make Me Wanna <\/em>definitely keeps your attention. Kyla\u00a0is an engaging character who has an honest voice. You will journey with her through love at first sight and on her way to happily ever after. The secondary characters — David, Marlon, and friend Nakia – added something extra to the tale, as the three characters deal with their own issues.<\/p>\n

Rashan\u00a0wraps up the Kyla\u00a0saga very well, settling all unanswered questions from the first book, and manages to make Kyla a character to remember. She feels like an old friend who’s coming back to catch you up on her life…and you’re hanging on to every word.<\/p>\n
