Review: Major Gift byTiffany Ezuma


Blurb from Goodreads:
The widow of a tech mogul is determined to give her wealth away—and keep one secret from the journalist tasked with telling her story. A hot new take on the billionaire romance.

When Ndidi Davis’s husband unexpectedly dies, she’s left bereft—and with $2.1 billion in the bank. She channels her grief into launching a charitable foundation, but the endeavor is made more complicated by Geoffrey Campbell, an ambitious, perceptive journalist assigned to profile her philanthropic pursuit. Geoffrey’s reporting slowly uncovers Ndidi’s whole heart—and some parts of her past she’s worked hard to keep out of the public eye.
 
I didn't enjoy this as much as some other 831 Stories but it was still great!  It plays on something we have previously seen that has been converted from real life to fiction (think MacKenzie Bezos/Loot) but still in a fun, unique way.  Things went faster than I kind of anticipated but I still enjoyed this a lot!  And, as always, if you aren't reading 831 Stories, you are MISSING out!!

Major Gift comes out next week on May 19, 2026 and you can purchase HERE.  
My lungs are burning. I don't know why I do this to myself every morning. 
I keep swimming back and forth across the pool despite every atom in my body begging me to stop. 
I'm not a natural swimmer. I only learned how ten months ago, when Robyn, my grief counselor, suggested exercise might help me cope. After trying everything from Pilates to boxing, swimming was the only thing that stuck. There's something about the repetition, the simple task of putting one arm in front of the other that forces my mind to focus. That is, focus on anything other than Alex, the car accident, and the past year of my life. When I'm concentrating on not drowning, I can't think about any of that.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
