Raunchy #2
Mad's Love
After escaping death at her own child's hands, you'd think Harmony Phillips would change. Instead she feels resentful believing her kids took the life from her she felt she deserved. In a bed in Concord Manor, she is nursed back to health by those she wrote off. And while her mind hatches all kinds of revengeful mental and physical plans, she doesn't look into the eyes of one of her kids. Had she looked long and hard, she would have seen that she had nourished a mind so evil that it would make her own schemes seem saintly. Mad's only mission in life is to show the world what kind of a person the woman who gave birth to her is. To makes matters worse, she has taken a liking to her father Kali, and that's when all hell breaks loose. The last part of this trilogy Raunchy 3: Jayden's Passion follows this novel.

Styles has got to be kidding me, she tricked me into loving one character just to hate her in the end, I mean really when doeas the omen whore die? And why has her life been spared so many times when all she do is wreak havok on everyone else's, Everything she touch turns to dust, like a bad entity or something. She's like a tornado that destroys every living thing in her path! Truthfully one character inparticular had it coming, as much as i hate to say this because Jace was cool, but come on now, why risk your life AGAIN by dealing with the Omen whore when he knew how wretched or should i say Raunchy she is.

This book is all kinds of CRAZY! There were so many twists and turns I didn't know who to trust or believe. This second book in this series was soooooo good. I read it every chance I got. If you thought part one was a wild ride wait until you get into this one! I laughed, cried, got mad...my feelings were all over the place. The last six or so chapters blew my mind! Like REALLY! I don't want to give anything away but if you are looking for a good read that will have you up past your bedtime and reading it on every lunch break and spare moment get into this series!

This was a GOOD book.I love how it picks right up from where it left off. Some of the parts in the book are really too much. The drama in this book was just PERFECT. Throughout the book I forgot that the twins are that young. Harmony is still a hot ass mess...(ive been hoping someone killed her since part 1!) I cant wait to see how bad of a person Jayden most likely turns into

Too much
I usually love t. Styles books but this one was not for me. Too much abuse to kids. Kids are a very soft spot for me and the abuse was too overboard and people looking the other way. I know it's just a book but part two was far too disturbing for me to go on. I will not be finishing the series.

I enjoyed this book. Although, the first one captured my attention and held it a little better, this was a "good read". I found myself in pure amazement of Harmony and her carelessness and hatred for her own children. I found myself really feeling bad for them and hoping on numerous occasions that she would get caught.
I didn't really like the Thirteen Flavors babysitting thing. I understand that it helped the storyline but I just couldn't see a virgin being a "pimp". It was kind of awkward to think that a 14 yr. old would be one.
Also, I didn't really see why Harmony's mother had to come back into the picture. I understand that she would've wanted to explain herself but, I think that the explanation in the previous book was good enough.If anything, she could've added a little bit there. Maybe a phone conversation or something.
All in all, I enjoyed it and will probably read the 3rd book although Jayden's character wasn't that interesting.

Raunchy 2: Mad's Love. Picks up right where part 1 left off but this time the main focus is off of Harmony and placed on her daughter Madjesty, or Mad as she prefers.After years of being thought of as a boy, Mad is out to get revenge. And if that wasn't enough,she reunites with her father, forming a duo no one saw coming.Throughout the story, we get glimpses inside the mind of Mad and what she goes through. I loved Mad Max. With an ending that will be sure to take your breath away T. styles has the urban fiction genre in a tight grip and I doubt she's letting it go anytime soon!This book was simply Raunchy!

I found this book to have much more depth than its predecessor. Raunchy 2 has some controversial social issues dealing with gender identity and sexuality that I found interesting. While reading this I also had to keep remembering that Madjesty and Jayden were only 14 yrs. old; barely teenagers considering the things they were involved in. Betrayal, family, rape, friendship, abuse, death, forgiveness, and love (whatever your definition) were all themes in this book.

uhm...i'm not a writer but i'm pretty sure stuff is supposed to make sense in a book. The book was all over the place and the twins are what?? In high school?!? tf?!? i'm all for erotic fiction but not when it involves minors.

This book was so good, just as good as the first book.
The story line will hold your attention from beginning to the end. I would highly recommend this book

mann this book had me so emotional on so many parts it dont make sense. and so many people die in this book, you really dont know who to trust.
HARMONY she was just the version of someone who shouldve never been allowed to conceive. the way she did her girls continously it made me emotional and i have never ever been in that type of situation. I do get that she had rough childhood I definitely cant deny that but after a while we HAVE to break the cycle. And I have never been a slut shamer but when I tell you that I literally have to label her that. its definitely need and the news of her at the end of the book had me in awe.
JACE I had a soft spot for him at times and then I would be like WHY THE FUCK would you do that dude.. a part of me loved the way he loved harmony even though he didnt want too, he couldnt help but too.
JAYDEN she made me mad a little bit throughout this book especially towards the end she had me wanting to beat her ass and then had me feeling sorry for her all in the same damn circle. Im nervous to see what the damage did to her in the next book.
MAD literally explained her whole demeanor she was never really loved when she was growing up so when someone did show her love she clinched on to it tightly and didnt want to let it go. she definitely became very attached to anyone that showed her love. I really felt for her throughout the book especially at the end her feeling of loneliness literally made her feel like she wasn't worthy enough to be on this earth and that is never a good thing. BUT THE way she got done and the way she did her sister.. had me straight sick at the end
KALI this dude is a fool with some of the things he did and the way he acted. he was indeed a hot head and some people dont want to deal with that with fear of the type of trouble you might get in while dealing with his type. He did make me have a little soft spot for him with how hard he went for his daughter, the bond they started to build I started to love.
It was literally never a dull moment in this book, it was always drama or someone always get got, or killed. Shaggy definitely had to be one of the characters I disliked THE MOST the way he did mad was beyond fucked up and then the way he had jayden stuck.. sheesh im really hoping that dude gets got. People lacked loyalty with friendships, family and all. Harmony wanted everyone to forgive her for how she was in the past but couldnt even do the same when it all came down to it. The type of foul shit she did in this book just has me like "shes still alive?"
Im very geeked to read the 3rd install of this book. T.styles definitely did her thing in the first two series.

Crazy and deceptive all around.
This book is crazy and Kali knows about everyone's Kali appears to know it all. When Harmony left Jace she stole money out of the bag. Antoinette was the one who setup the events that took place at Jace:'s birthday party and had been involved with Kali for fourteen years. Shaggy tapes Mad and her father wants to kill him. He has already killed Shaggy's father. Jace sleeps.with Harmony and contracts HIV. The ultimate betrayal is Kali find his mother, Bernice and starts sleeping with her and.Mad rapes her sister.
What more can we handle! Where.is the author 's mind?

Beyond Raunchy
Well dang T Styles I thought part 1 shocked me it had nothing on part 2. I was rooting for Jayden at this point foster care and change of scenery may be the best . Mad and Kali relationship is so weird but he loves weirdly and she definitely craves love . Harmony needs to just leave them alone already and pay for giving Jace a death sentence. Off to part 3 I go.

protection of our children
This is best book how our generational can affect our children. Reading this we have to change and be responsible of their upbringing.
No parent is perfect; but, whatever we have should be supportive and provide LOVE

Mad's Love
Raunchy 2 was another great, compelling page turner by T. Styles. After reading more about the twins childhood, Mad's disorderly behavior was no surprise. Although some parts of the story did leave me quite perturbed, I must say this book was well written with a great amount of creativity. Like part 1, this book has become one of my favorites & I am looking forward to reading the 3rd part of this series. Highly recommended!

Loved this book. There were some editing issues but nothing major to distract from the story. It is well written and flowed. I enjoyed all the twist and turns and the depth of each character. I felt as if I was right there with all the characters in every scene. That's just how descrptive the writing is in this novel. A definite page turner!

When I started reading this book I was a bit taken back at the way the mother treated her children, and there were some things that was downright crazy. With her children raised with physical, psychological, and emotional abuse, I was amazed that they survived. Unfortunately not all is well. This author was bold and strong enough to pull it off.
May 12, 2014
Oh my goodness this book was so on point. I couldn't put it down. T. Styles is a amazing author. This family is crazy on so many levels. My heart went out to Mad and Jayden. Having Harmony as your mom is rough. Also having the father's they had made things just as hard. Great book. Would highly recommend.
