Miami's Superstar

Ryan Brownlee. Such a beautiful girl, but life was doing a number on her. She had been dealing with heartache pretty much since she graced the world with her presence seventeen years ago. At a young age, she's become familiar with watching her mother be her boyfriend's punching bag. All Ryan wanted in life was for her mother to leave her abusive boyfriend, Malik, so the two of them could peacefully live their lives. Not only was she dealing with emotional problems stemming from her mother's relationship, but she was a high school senior dealing with depression and low self-esteem, simply because she didn't see the beauty in the heavy set, black queen looking back at her in the mirror. She then meets Messiah Washington. A guy who's musically talented, sexy, a few years older than Ryan, and could have any woman he wanted, but he was interested in Ryan. The title of this book is Miami's Superstar because even with all the turmoil that Ryan was dealing with, she was talented. Some would even say that she reminds them of a younger Whitney Houston. The question is, does Ryan know that? Can she become the Miami Superstar that Messiah is setting her out to be, or will she just throw it all away?

I think that everyone can pretty much agree that love isn't easy. Even when two people desperately love each other so much, that still doesn't make it easy. In fact, in order to have that "perfect love" that we all hope and pray for, we'll have to go through some bumps and bruises along the way. Messiah and Ryan have what it takes to be that "it" couple. The chemistry between them is amazing, but can Ryan see it? Can she see that she has a man in Miami who desperately loves her, or will she go running back to her fiancé, Devin, in Philadelphia? This big secret that Devin has been keeping from Ryan, how will she react to that? It's so many things in Ryan's life that are getting in the middle of her becoming that Miami Superstar that she's destined to be. Not only is the talent there but the support from Messiah is there as well, but can she see it? After almost eight years of being apart from each other, can the two of them finally make it work or will Ryan hold herself back from true happiness?
