My Muted Love (Muted Hopelessness Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Love Belvin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Never judge a book by its cover, one of the world’s most common clichés. Though sage advice, the age-old aphorism is rarely followed. Take, for instance, Tori McNabb and Ashton Spencer, two subjects who believe by aesthetics alone, they have no reason to breathe the same air. When startling circumstances align on the campus of Blakewood State University, the two have no choice but to look beyond their exteriors.

McNabb is a fighter in life as well as in the ring. She knows what she’s capable of and doesn’t want to be tested. Her only goal is to never return to Millville, New Jersey while simultaneously flying under the radar as a small fish in the big BSU ocean. Spencer, the most popular athlete on campus is well on his way to success as a professional athlete and is confident the stars have aligned in his favor. Being tested by the underdog is one he’d never fail, or so he thinks. Journey with this unlikely pair inside the pages of their ugly covers.

Publisher’s Note: My Muted Love is book ONE of a THREE book series. It ends on a CLIFFHANGER. This book contains angst, profanity, sexually explicit content, and material related to young adults. If any of these elements is not what you prefer between the pages of a novel, this is not the venture for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars My introduction to Love was a Love/hate relationship (toxic relationship)LOL!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022

Let me start by saying that this book was by far one of the worst and best books I have read in this lifetime. Now let me explain. I could identify with Miss. McNabb on her life struggle, and in some cases, my situation was worst. However, I have never experienced Mr. Spencer. I hated him, and if it was not for the inter monologue. I would have stopped reading the book a long time ago, which would have resulted in me missing a phenomenal story. The story is rich. Full of descriptive detail that gives you a vivid picture of what each person is dealing with from their perspective and the other character. Internally. But at the same time, I could not comprehend her stupidity (I understand it but don't like it) in allowing him to be a part of her life. Love Belvin’s mind, fingers, and time are sent straight from heaven. You cannot go wrong by reading these books. I love to hate it, but I never neglected it. Great work

Lover of Black LOVE!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020

The depth of research, word usage and character development makes her writing amazing. I've not read all of Love's books but thus far Tori is my absolute favorite heroin! An overlooked "gem" who, though fictional, represents real life agony for many of my Sistas. We're not the right shade, the right shape, not pretty enough, or born into the wrong class. Racism within a race is real. A zip code change should be considered a blessing and not a tool to LORD over another. Martin Luther King, Jr. began to reconsider his message of love, making his intent general, to include everyone and not specific to his race. He mentioned that he should've spent more time on teaching us to love ourselves and then our sisters and brothers in our race first. We need a lot of work in this area. Cherish the Day, a new series speaks to this also. The Bible says that charity begins at home and then spreads itself abroad. How can we continue to include everyone when we are not showing love to the ones that look like us? "Lift as we climb" We must climb in such a way as to guarantee that all our sisters and brothers regardless of social class, climb with us. ~ Angela Davis. I feel deeply about this! Tori was bullied because she did not choose her parents and their class.

I still do not like Ashton! He extended some kindness to her but I know that more pain from him is coming her way. I love her fighting spirit and hence her profession, that will be the catalyst to position her to take care of herself. It felt as if I knew Brick and I was mournful of the loss. I equate it to too many of our young Black boys/men dying needlessly. I like the back story so that I can totally understand the coming progression. I LOVE BLACK LOVE!

There was so much going on, I can’t connect the dots just yet, it’s too soon, too…open. I have speculations, but what I wasn’t expecting was I read causing me to think, what has she endured in her young life that this is how she is conditioned to show…thanks with comfortability and familiarity. I feel my heart swelling for her.

I feel like Love Belvin set me up. She’s lured and mentally trapped me in this story and the only way out is to read book 2. My mind won’t stop with what I’ve just read in book 1. This story was a perfect set up into a world where needing someone is as necessary as food for nourishment, but trusting them leaves you staving with nothing.

Tori was sent off to college with nothing. No money, no guidance, no support and no foundation on which to stand. Her only solace was in staying under anyone’s radar and boxing until…him.

Ashton had it all and he wanted more. I think he wanted Tori to see his power, his wealth, his influence, it’s how he shows his appreciation.

This was an incredible reading experience and like every book Love Belvin writes, this is a highly recommended must read!

Ashton!!!! He worked every nerve I had during this book. It’s too early to fully under what went wrong with the friendship and so far I’m intrigued

This started off as a slow read for me compared to the books I usually read. However all I can say is keep reading. The character and plot definitely continues to amaze me. I can’t wait to dive into part 2.

I'm giving this five stars because I like her writing style, the depth of her character development, and the classic theme of the underdog-popular kid story with Love's added layers of character and plot that make it a great read.
My criticism for this book is the ending which makes the book feel incomplete. It ends with her gripping the table and my critique is that it shouldn't feel chopped off. Writers, especially in this e-book era, should still be presenting complete works even if ending on a cliffhanger. If that scene was necessary maybe it could have ended earlier in it.

Another observation is that while this is a great story, there are a lot of back stories with characters introduced from different time periods. I think it works but b/c we were only given snippets of those, there is pressure on Book 2 to be meatier due to what all we've been introduced to in Book 1.
Looking forward to reading this series to see where it goes.

I really didn't know if I was going to like this story since it sounded like it was going to be a college storyline. I don't know why I doubted Love Belvin!!!! This is great 1st installment! I was drawn in quickly, from the first chapter and hated even having to stop for family engagements. As a HBCU alumni and member of a sorority in the Divine Nine, I could relate to many of the elements of the story. The main characters, Tori and Ashton, are believable and engaging. I love and hate Ashton. I want to hug Tori and slap her mom. The side characters help keep you emotionally engaged. It does end on a cliffhanger. You will be dread reading it so quickly knowing the next part isn't out yet, but don't let that deter you from reading it, because it is THAT GOOD!!! You can read Love Belvin's other bangers while you wait, like I do! Get this book!!!
