review 1: Jayson grew up in the projects and vowed to make an escape and make something of himself, find the perfect women for him and treat her like a Queen and she would treat him like her king...Sounds sweet right?At 37 Jayson has accomplished most of his childhood dreams and what he set out to do when he was just a young boy but one mayor part is missing; his queen. After a number of failed relationships and gold diggers Jayson is left jaded and protective of his heart and to be honest who can blame him... He has being used and betrayed in the worse ways by women he gave his love and trust to. Now he is just your typical player, who refuses to commit to another women. Victoria (Tori) could not be more opposite to Jayson. She is the privileged girl that grew up in a mansion enjo... moreying all the best of what life has to offer. Now Tori's fortunes has drastically changed after her father becomes gravely ill and her evil step mother who is just a year older than her is keeping her inheritance away from her as well as her dying frail father. She has to find a way to support herself and be independent, she ends up finding a job as a waitress at a strip club, a new run down apartment with a great neighbour Kim who has become a really good friend and a shoulder for her to cry one. "Not long ago I had people waiting on me."~ToriShe meets Jay at the strip club when she waited on a table with his crew, where a few of then were giving her a hard time and he stepped in. She is immediately attractive to the Tall, Dark, and handsome Jayson as he is to her, there is just something about her that he has to get to know. Tori has attitude, sass and presence she is a little spitfire and I love the way she stands up for herself, she fights for what she believes in. Once jayson realises she has no clue who he is, he is even more intrigued by her. He had become so used to people using him and always wanting something from him because of who he is. Tori's genuine interest in him is refreshing but he was still not prepared to commit after they got to know each other and spend plenty of time between the sheets .....you know the saying once bitten twice shy. Tori on the other hand knows exactly what she wants and she fights like hell to prove herself and forge a path behind Jays walls. "I was really hoping to find someone for companionship. I wanted someone to talk to at the end of the day, to make love to at night and to laugh with." -Tori There relationship is not without its challenges; Tori is dealing with a crazy step mum who has stopped her from seeing her dying father. Jay has plenty of problems with his ex-wife, women hanging off him. Every one wanting something from his all the falseness leaves his uncertain and guarded with major issues. His background and the things he did before he turned his life around, fills him with doubt about his suitability for the prim Tori who lived a pretty much perfect life.Tori had a lot to prove and a mountain to climb before she got anywhere with Jay despite their physical attraction."I wouldn't be surprise if she started acting fake like all the other bitches eventually did---playing games and testing my limits. For that reason alone I couldn't give her my heart."~Jay Lord have mercy this book is HOT some of the love scenes has my eyes bulging in delight. Tori and Jay defiantly had that extra special fire. I love that sex was not perfect sometimes it can get messy and Jessica was not afraid to include that, that allowed me to relate more. The book had a real grittiness to it, some of the situations are very true to real life."As soon as my lips met his, he took over. His kiss was hard, wet and left me breathless."~Tori Jay has may issues to overcome, he makes a few mistakes along the way. Will he ever be able to work through his issues and doubts in order to give his relationship with Tori a real chance?How many mistakes is Tori willing to forgive?"I was going to dedicate my life to him to matter what life threw our way."~ToriI'm not going to lie I did find a few parts to be cringe worthy due to the stereo-typical nature of the dialogue between Tori and Jay. I also spotted a few errors with the way a few sentences are written, however that did not take away from my overall enjoyment. This book does have infidelity and normally I hate books with cheating, but the incident in this book was done very well and reflected a true to life situations. Sometimes people make mistakes and the road to redemption and forgiveness is not always an easy one. For Jay he has to so some soul searching and fight the good fight to get the love of his life back he had finally found his queen but blinded by stubbornness and past hurt to realize before he acted like a complete fool. "I have never truly known sex as being anything other than the physical act. Now I felt the spiritual connection beyond what mu body was feeling. It was like a tether that bound us together."~ToriOverall a great story with heart, soul and substance that flowed well and represent something so much more. Urban Love Prophecy is written from both Tori and Jay's POV and marks a wonderful step into a market that I truly believe needs more authors like Jessica Ingro to be ambassadors. I have to salute her for writing such a book, we live in such a diverse world and its great to see that reflected in the written world. I loved the end of the book it almost brought me to tears of joy, it was beautiful and touching. It ended like a truly great Romance Novel. Their love was perfectly imperfect and I loved every second. "God, I loved this women. My prophecy come to life. My world. My soul mate. My equal."~Jay4/5 Stars From Natasha
review 2: Complimentary CopyHands down this is one of my top books that I have read this year. Jessica will rock your world with Urban Love Prophecy! I dragged finishing this book out as long as I could because I never wanted it to end! To really do this book justice you just have to pick it up and read it!You instantly fall in love with Victoria ( Tori / T ) she has a true heart of gold and very strong-willed. Don't get me wrong you still want to kill her at times for some of the decisions she makes. Jayson (Jay) is other story he has a heart of gold just has some barbed wire around it. Jay can come across as a total jerk , once you get in to the story more you find out why he guards his self so much. There was times I just wanted to take him out and slap him ask him what was wrong with him. T is the best person that could ever walk in his life but yet he just couldn’t let go of the past long enough to see it.Hope you all Enjoy this one as much as I did! less
