Tonight I Give In by Mia A. Moore takes us into the lives of Myella McBride and Trévon Threat. Myella or Mya, as she is called by her friends, is a young woman who knows what she wants out of life. She is a 23 year-old woman who is working on her Masters degree in English and teaching undergraduate composition. The only thing missing from her life is someone to share it with; not that she is complaining.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Mya decides to blow off a little steam and hang out with her best friend, Nachelle, before the summer semester starts. While they are out they meet two gentlemen, Jay and Tré, who play for the Chicago Bears. After a couple of dances, Nachelle and Jay decide that they should all go out and grab some breakfast. Reluctantly Mya agrees. However things do not quite turn out the way Mya thinks when Nachelle and Jay decide to skip out on breakfast once everyone arrives at their destination, leaving Mya and Tré to get better acquainted.

What follows is a friendship that Mya and Tré never planned on, but seems to be right on time. As time progresses, they find themselves falling for each other but afraid to say something. Will Mya be able to throw caution to the wind, let go of her past hurts and allow Tré to be the love of her life?

I loved this book. I found that it mirrored a lot of real life situations where people get caught up in past hurts, jealousy, communication, and trust issues. I loved how the characters related to each other. I would have liked there to have been more dialogue between the characters, but it did not take away from the story. Overall this was a wonderful read. Ms. Moore has a wonderful future ahead of her and I cannot wait to read her next book.

Myella McBride, known affectionately as Mya to her close friends and family, is all work with very little time to play games when it comes to the opposite sex. Poised, educated, and the poster child for sophistication, don't be fooled by the little suburban chick, cause she has an inner sista girl that you don't want to meet. She and her best friend, Nachelle, decide to set off the beginning of summer by partying in Chi-town. While Mia agrees to go, she's doubtful that she'll meet anyone worth remembering.

Tre the Threat, the Chicago Bears linebacker, and his boy Jay are out enjoying the city of winds' nightlife. Unlike others who are in the lime light, Tre is a conscientious brother who uses his resources and time in order to help others. While video vixens and model chicks may be vying for his time, Tre ain't about the skeeze.

Sparks fly as the interception blitzes into an unyielding friendship. While it's apparent to those around them that what they have is dynamic, they both fight to maintain their friendship. When the two can no longer deny what's visible, flags on the field cause them to fumble. Will they be able to recover, or are they willing to bench the inevitable?

I love to read period. But those books that rep for my city, they really do something to me. I was a little stumped when I realized Mia A. Moore was doing the timeless fairy tale, but I'm pleased to announce that it was peppered with her own unique style. But I do need real sex in a book. Tonight I Give In is a great story and I'm looking forward to Mia A. Moore's sophomore release.

I love how Mia Moore puts it down in her debut novel "Tonight I Give In". She introduces us to Mya and Trevon. Mya to me seemed like she wanted love but was scared of it and Trevon is every womens' dream man. This story will have you crying , hoping, wishing and laughing as Mya and Trevon go through their escapades.

Great job Mia! Many Blessings to you! (wink)

I love romance novels and found out about this book through MySpace. Mia A. Moore put her foot and everything else in this book. I like how it has many of the traditional parts of romance, like some fantasy and predictable elements readers of romance love and expect, but that she knew when to go away from how some regular romances would present this story and KEPT IT REAL, TOO. The book actually had a great plot and great story. It was sweet and romantic, yet hot and edgy. I was not just reading for the love scenes like I find myself doing with some romances, but the love scenes were all that, classy and sexy. It was so descriptive that I felt kind of like I was there as they made love. I liked the age she made Myella, because she was old enough to have an idea of what she wanted out of life, yet young enough not to be sour on love or life. Tre is the man every woman wants, but not so much where he isn't believable. I read someone said the characters were captivating and someone else said they feel in love with them. I can totally relate; they seemed real. They reacted and responded like people you could know. I wanted them to get together, be together, and stay together, and was truly interested in their lives and how it turned out. On Mia's MySpace bio it says her "goal is to make you laugh, cry, think, and believe." Well, I did it all! It says she is working on her next novel on the back of her book. I am waiting; please don't leave me waiting too long. GET THIS BOOK!

You're probably thinking I'm about to say something negative about the story but you'd be wrong. For some reason it took me a long time to purchase this book because after reading the reviews, I thought it would be boring but I'm glad to say that I couldn'tve been more wrong! Even after I received it, I flipped through the pages and saw that there was more paragraphs than dialogue, I judged it and sat it on my nightstand. When I finally picked it it up, I was halfway through the story before I could think to realize how much I was into Tre & Mya's life. This was an excellent, excellent read and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book that Ms. Moore writes. I love being wrong.

This book tells the story about how love and trust go hand in hand to make a relationship work. Mya goes to a club with her best friend Nachelle and they meet 2 pro football players. Tre is a dream man come true for Mya and Nachelle meets the playa of the year Jay. Mya has trust issues and her best friend stirs up trouble with Mya and Tre because she is jealous of their relationship. Between the drama her friend causes and her trust issues, the relationshp almost ends before it can begin. This was a great story and you will have to read it to find out how it all ends.

Mia Moore Is Truly A Wonderful Author, Who Created The Best Love Story I Have Read In A Long While. The Book Took On A Romance Between Myella, And Tre, That Had All The Makings Of Two People Caught Between Trying To Make A Relationship, That Had It's Ups And Down Like Most People, But Not Too Mushy. I Like The Way They Became Friends Before Lovers, And Even So They Had A Period When They Had To Part Ways, To Fully See That They Were meant To Be Together, If You Haven't Read The Book Yet, You Won't Be Disappointed.

If only all guys could be like Tre! I loved the story, the characters and the romance. This is one you won't want to miss. An absolutely wonderful first effort and very well written. I can't wait to read other offerings by this author.

TONIGHT I GIVE IN BY MIA MOORE WAS A EXCELLENT READ.MYELLA MCBRIDE AND TREVON THREAT MET ONE NIGHT AT A CLUB AND IT WAS ON FROM THERE. MYELLA AND TREVON HAD CHEMISTRY BUT SHE WAS NOT READY FOR A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP AFTER WHAT HAPPEN IN HER LAST RELATIONSHIP. BEING THAT TRE IS A FAMOUS FOOTBALL PLAYER THAT WAS A BIG FACTOR IN WHETHER MYELLA WAS READY FOR THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP. COME TAKE THIS ROLLERCOASTER RIDE AND SEE WILL MYELLA FINALLY GIVE IN. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION THOUGHOUT THE HOLD BOOK. I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS.

5 STAR REVIEW BY MISTIC

I really enjoyed this book. It was a good romantic read that was steamy without being raunchy. For grown folks that still believe in love or the possiblity of finding it!

I would recommend and good luck to the author, I hope to see another one of your books
