BOOK REVIEW: Church Girl by Naima Simone
REVIEW:
After running out on her wedding, Aaliyah goes to Chicago with her cousin.
Escaping her domineering cult like church where women are subservient to their
husbands and obey their family.
While in Chicago Aaliyah becomes a nanny for a handsome single dad who is the
owner of a tattoo shop. His precocious daughter is a handful but wins
Aaliyah's heart.
This was a great story of getting your voice back and doing what's right for
you even if it means breaking free of your parents.
Sexy romance with some spice and a heroine who isn't a toothpick and man who
appreciates curves.

Aaliyah Montgomery isn’t just ditching her wedding. She’s also
fleeing her suffocating small town and her family’s expectations.
She’s got plans—for college, for finding herself. But landing a job in
Chicago that fits her schedule isn’t easy. Good thing Von Howard is
desperate to find a live-in nanny. Bad thing that he’s a gritty,
grumpy, gorgeous tattoo artist carrying as much baggage as he has
ink.
Von’s new hire is inexperienced and a fire hazard in the kitchen.
She’s also all thick curls, thicker curves, and a distracting mix
of innocence and sensuality. After the upheaval of a divorce, he just
needs a nanny, not a sneaky link. Meanwhile, Aaliyah is bonding with
his seven-year-old and showing an unexpected flair for tattoo art. Who
could resist?
Yet deep down, Aaliyah’s still running—from her feelings and her fear
of losing herself to someone else’s expectations again. Even as their
pasts return to haunt them, their undeniable heat says maybe it’s time
to stand and fight for a love they didn’t see coming.
