Narrator Nicole Small glides through this Black soap opera with its young, sexy, and dangerous characters. Home to Michigan from London, Morgan Atkins must decide between her high-society fiancé and her hometown friend, Ahmeek. Small’s dialogue conveys Morgan’s identity crisis and her love for her twin toddlers, whose father she believes is dead. Small raises lots of steam for listeners with the strong language and sexuality shared between Morgan’s friend, Aria, and her man, Isa. Attentive to details, Small takes her time over sign language, which Morgan shares with her deaf daughter, yet she can switch gears to deliver low, raspy voices for Ahmeek and Isa. There’s poetry in the sharp, swinging rhythm Small brings to Ashley’s voice as she frequents clubs with friends and ventures out on late-night rendezvous. C.A.
