About the Book

Hot steamy New Orleans, LA is the setting for this love story that is laced with pure Southern sexiness. Main characters Celia DuBois and Jeffrey Jackson are going through the ups and downs of love and are experiencing the consequences of past relationships where there was a lack of self-love.

Relationship issues, skin color bias, domestic violence, distrust, self-doubt and irresponsible sexual behavior are just a few of the issues that is placed under a microscope and then enlarged for the reader to absorb as both characters “speak” in first person, giving the reader an up close and personal view of the story being told.

Benny’s Place, a Coffee House/Café located in the French Quarters of New Orleans; charming and visually nostalgic embodying the ambiance of a 1940’s juke joint, is where Celia and Jeff meet. Benny Thibodeaux, the proprietor (or as Benny pronounces, pro pie ta) of the café is a New Orleans native who’s wisdom and clairvoyance is the motivational balm that both Celia DuBois and Jeffrey Jackson are in desperate need of.
