Rules are meant to be broken, and when it comes to love, this ex-quarterback and single mother are playing to win.

Kamal Montgomery owned the football field, and now he’s one-fifth of Southern Soul, a family-owned soul food restaurant. Nothing and no one is off-limits until Jayda enters his restaurant in need of a second chance.

Jayda Dallas returns to Houston with her baby on her hip and her ex in the dust. He refuses to pay child support for their third-year-old daughter, and rather than take his sorry ass back, she’s getting a J-O-B.

Jayda stands back, watching women fall at Kamal’s feet. His smile is more deadly than his arrogance. But seeing him with her daughter has her wondering if she should take a chance.

Every rejection will only make Kamal’s victory sweeter. He plans to lick, taste, and devour her like the delicacy she is until the world, her ex, and Jayda knows his name is tattooed on every inch of her curvy body.

Kamal’s never played a game by halves, and Jayda’s got a thing or two to show this deviously handsome player. But when an unknown enemy wages war on their budding relationship will their new love survive.

What a wonderful story and it makes awesome start for the series which will easily steal your heart. It's a powerful combination of secrets and excitement that's full humor and romance plus fun. I know this will be a unique series! With stories that will bring a smile to your face with lots of emotions. The characters are awesome and their emotions burns up the pages with it's chemistry. There are plenty feisty women who is so independent and some who are not but it makes you cheer them on anyway. Reading this story was a pleasurable experience that you will keep you on the edge of your seat with this family its so amazing and they makes you want to read the other stories in the series.The stories are about family and this is what makes them binge worthy that will be amazing to read. If each one is like this they will make you turn every page until the end. I really enjoyed these characters they are so amazing and great together. When you add in the drama along with tons of emotions plus some intriguing twists and turns then you have a story that's full of feelings and so awesome. The couples aren't searching for forever, but the chemistry is so fantastic that it turns into a great love that's strong with each other. These relationships are loads of romance and heartache that all works out for good! Even the secondary characters are so extraordinary that it takes such imagination to make this book a beautiful story to read. This story is truly delightful and amazing with it's being humorous and exciting in nature I Highly Recommend Reading it. This is a five stars story that I know I will read more than once!

Awesome beginning to this series!!

This book was such an awesome beginning to the Southern Gentlemen Series. The one thing I remember growing up was that good down home soul food can always brings a family together. But a family's strength starts with a sound foundation. Without that cracks may start and lead to crumbling and the downfall of any structure.
Jayda was in a relationship that had a shaky foundation from the start. But she CHOSE to ignore the signs because she was "doing it for Reese". She meets Kamal while visiting her friend Catrina while on business. And wow was the chemistry between these two HOT!! But Jayda had her baby daddy issues with Brett to deal with back in LA. Kamal had family drama going on in Houston.
Now I'm not going to spoil this book because it was truly a rollercoaster of excitement all throughout this storyline. And I admit I was all in my feelings with the Montgomery family drama surrounding Kamal's parents. Their story begins with the family restaurant Southern Soul Houston. Kamal went home to help bring the restaurant out of the red. But he was unprepared for what he saw when he got there. During his effort to try and help he is confronted by his parents. And that's where things got crazy. When things popped off I was straight stunned. I was like uh uh no that man didn't just... wait did his mother just side with?
Yes chile in was all in my feeling's thinking one way without reading the rest of the story. And let me tell you it got so dang goooood. I had to keep going until I finished it.

The drama and the chemistry between Jayda and Kamal was sooo deep and multi-faceted. Kamal and Jayda's journey was amazing and a crazy at the same time. Sometimes we can be the reason for our own failures. And Jayda fell right into that pot hole eyes wide open. Falling back on familiar shenanigans. But the heart wants what it wants! Kamal had his own share of pot hole moment too. But in the end their HEA was well earned and so much deserved. The blessing they received in the end was just the first step in solidifying their family's solid foundation along with the grand reopening of "Southern Soul Houston". If you haven't read this book and are thinking about it, then let me say you need to add it to your TBR list. It will not disappoint. It's that fantastic. Trust me! Ja'Nese Dixon did that!!

I am so happy to have ran across this book. I loved it from beginning to end. Jayda and Kamal was a match with flames that stayed lit forever. This was a breath of fresh air with a family dynamic that felt like coming home.

Kamal is an alpha who went for the woman he wanted, Jayden, single mom in a situation with her daughters father. I love Kamal, he is a alpha, with a heart that has been hurt. He is also a southern gentleman who stepped up when Jay needed help. This book has love, family drama, lots of food and lots of laughs! The Montgomery clan is hilarious. This is my second time reading the series. Enjoy!

This is another first for me, I have read at least 3 new authors between September and October. Mrs. Dixon, you surely did not disappoint. I have thoroughly enjoyed this read, when I say Kamal is book Bae I mean that. I loved his personality, ambition, and love for his family. He was the big brother turned father figure for his siblings. He was a man that knew how to be a daddy. He became that to Reese.

Reese wasn't the only one that desires Kamal as a father figure but her mother Jayda had to have him as well. Jayda needed a man like Kamal in her life. She deserved to be loved unconditionally and to find her independence. Her being with a man like Brett he was just going to string her along like a puppet. Jayda's meeting Kamal was the best thing she could have done for her and Reese. The scene where Jayda walked in on Kamal holding a sleeping Reese while on the phone was priceless.

I am looking forward to the next installment in this series. I want to see how Miya and Dean's story unfolds. I know it is going to be some hurdles along the way. I am also hoping that there is an update on Jayda and Kamal with their growing family. I would love to read Rashaad and Catrina's story after Dean and Miya.
