Review of Loving The Wrong Man by Mia Black
Ah, the allure of the wrong kind of love—it’s a theme that never fails to intrigue us, isn’t it? When I stumbled upon Loving The Wrong Man by Mia Black, I was immediately drawn in by the promise of a tale that navigated the murky waters of toxic past relationships and the unexpected chance at romance. Having recently emerged from a similar experience in my own life, Jazmine’s struggles felt like a whispered secret just waiting to be explored.
In this tantalizing introduction to a multi-part series, we meet Jazmine—an independent woman seeking a fresh start after the devastation of catching her boyfriend in a compromising position with someone she called a neighbor. The storyline feels raw and relatable, resonating with anyone who has ever had to pick up the pieces from a heart-wrenching relationship. Enter a mysteriously charming stranger—Que, or Quinton—who begins to lure Jazmine away from her caution and into a whirlwind of unexpected emotions. The contrast between her tumultuous past and this engaging new character brings both tension and curiosity to the plot.
Black’s writing style is engaging and inviting, offering readers a brisk pace that compels you to keep turning the pages.

I found myself laughing at times, yet also holding my breath through the suspenseful turns. It’s like that feeling of riding a roller coaster—you’re terrified yet exhilarated at the same time.
One standout moment for me was when Jazmine quips, “I’ve been broken before; I refuse to shatter again.” This simple line illustrates her resilience while also encapsulating the broader theme of overcoming obstacles to find love. Jazmine is rich with depth; her character evolution throughout the book—balancing vulnerability with strength—makes her not just relatable but incredibly inspiring.
Yet, as many reviewers have noted, the book’s brevity left me wanting more. Some may see it as a flaw, but I felt it heightened my anticipation for the subsequent parts of the series. The ending, a thrilling cliffhanger, was the perfect hook; I found myself feeling that delicious itch to know what happens next. As one reviewer aptly put it, it’s a book that keeps you “wanting more.”
