Get ready for a slow burn romance that will make you laugh and swoon! In this delightful romantic comedy, Esme Whitaker is a successful single woman with a list of things she wants to accomplish before her next birthday - and one of them is to have sex. But the man she's interested in, Trey Pettigrew, is also the one who rubs her the wrong way. However, fate intervenes when Trey rescues Esme from an attack, and they are forced to work together on a business deal.

Trey is determined to make up for his past behavior and win Esme's heart, but she's not interested in anything after-hours. That is, until Trey discovers Esme's Never List. As they navigate their conflicting priorities and undeniable attraction, they realize that sometimes life has its own plans. With relatable characters and witty dialogue, The Never List is a charming tale of two people who find love when they least expect it.

I didnt think it could get any better than Wade (Beach Thing), but author DL White has been consistently churning out Black Love. Meet Trey and Esme- think bucket list with a twist of 40 year old virgin. Loved this book! The characters and settings are realistic and the author can write the hell out of a sex scene! Run and get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Esme x Trey 🥰🥰

How I love, love, LOOOOVED this story. Esme and Trey had so much chemistry. Once their bickering ended, their banter, their affection, and eventually love for one another was absolutely beautiful. I love how Trey cared for Esme, especially as he helped her with the items on her list. A list with stuff on there to help her be a little more adventurous. Trey tackled everything on that list with her. He did it all with patience, care, and love. I love that Esme herself was extremely outspoken, knew what she wanted, and went for what she wanted. I loved her confidence. She was extremely loveable, and I love how she was with Trey. They fit extremely well together. This was a super fun read. I loved every page. DL.White’s writing style is captivating, and I’m enjoying the hell out of her catalog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Late Than Never!!!

The Never List was a really good read. I especially love that there was absolutely no relationship drama between these characters. Just two people who meet and fall in love organically. Esme is a 39 year old virgin who's deathly afraid of almost everything. She's determined to lose her virginity and overcome some of her fears by her 40th birthday so, she make a never list. A list of thing she's never done which, includes sex. Tre is more than happy to help Esme check those items off her list and encourages her become more adventurous. I loved when Esme decides she wants her first time to be with Tre and he finally finds out she's a virgin, he goes above and beyond to make the moment very special for her. Tre was a true gentleman. Even though they were mature in age (my favorite kind of characters), Esme and Tre were an adorable couple. The chemistry and attraction between them was sweet. Tre didn't judge Esme for waiting so late in life to lose her virginity and encouraged her to step outside of her comfort zone and be more spontaneous. It was honorable that Esme chose to wait until she found someone worthy enough to give herself to regardless of how long it took her. The Never List was a sweet love story. The romance was first rate, there were several LOL scenes, and the sex was steamy. I'd highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trey and Esme are Couple Goals!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

I don't even know where to begin with this beauty! The gorgeous cover was what snared me first, followed quickly by the intriguing blurb...but it was the incredible characters that made me fall in love for good.
Suffice it to say, Trey and Esme are couple #goals. From the start, Trey was gentle and kind about Esme's fears and anxieties. He handled each new challenge with grace, and by the time these two made it to their HEA, I believed it and was cheering them on. This was no insta-love situation, though. These two put in the work, and that made the outcome feel even sweeter.
D.L. White pulled off a terrific balancing act with this one. She packed all of that emotional growth into an interesting and engaging plot, and somehow also managed to keep the sexual tension perfectly balanced, too. Quite a feat.
I didn't have a single complaint about this story - it was the perfect romance read and exactly what I hoped it would be. I'll be recommending this one again and again, for sure!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Entertaining; Funny; Great world building; Happily Ever After; Original; Page-turner; Romantic; Realistic; Steamy; Wonderful characters!

5.0 out of 5 stars So, so good!!!

I bought this book when it was released, but thanks to a reading slump courtesy of COVID, I didn’t read it right away. When I finally did start reading it, I was drawn into the story immediately - then the foolishness that was Election 2020 took over everything, and I put it back down again.

Once my mind was clear and my anxiety left the scene, I dug back in. And I was hooked! From the cover, to the plot, to the characters, and the pacing of the story, everything was on point. Esme was a lot initially, but I really, really liked her. And don’t get me started on Trey; handsome, loads of fun and so sweet. And the twins and O’Neal? Hilarious!!!

DL White did her thang with this one! I’ve read most, if not all of her books (and enjoyed them!), but she took her writing to the next level with this book. Keep doing your thing, girl!

This is a must read. Do yourself a favor and practice some self-care by reading this book. You won’t regret it.

Got my fingers crossed that we’ll be seeing fine a** Ken and his NYC boo soon. 😉

This book was so good and I’m sad it has come to an end! 😫 Love the two characters and their family and friends! The book started off slow, but quickly picked up and I became invested in the main characters. This started off with Esme and Trey trying to complete Esme’s Never list before her 40th birthday, but it was so much more! This book was told by the main characters pov, which I love and this book had a happy ending as well! The author did give her readers a glimpse into the future. I want to hear about Ken’s story and hoping the author sees this and make it happens! Definitely recommend! Also this book had some hot and steamy scenes, even tho Esme was a virgin!
