Juicy is obsessed & likes control. Jordan started going back to being vindictive. Tisha & Shout just may get back together once Shout get it together. Hopefully Boom finds true love. Sydney needs to accept that Book doesn’t want her. I enjoyed part 2 of this series.

Explosive!!!
Tisha Ariel Nikkole is weathering the storm from her previous episode with her nemesis, Jordan Ellis. Did she really mean to kill the woman that tried to stand in the way of her happiness with Shout? Did she blackout? Was she just that angry? The trial that can put her behind bars forever will not only test her relationship but a career that she has based her entire life around.
Jordan Ellis cannot remember exactly what landed her inside of the sterile confines of the West Coast Hospital. Her memories of how and when she got there are one big blur. Could the stunningly beautiful woman holding her hand and whispering sweet nothings be her lover? Unbeknownst to her, with no television or radio to bring her up to speed with her life, Jordan is trapped in more ways that one.
Juicy knew the moment she laid eyes on Jordan , it would be her mission to turn the beautiful and straight woman into the lesbian of her dreams. Just like she was once turned out, she knew that all she had to do was make Jordan dependent solely on her. With Jordan 's accident falling right in place with her plans, will Juicy finally become a one-woman woman?
Shout has loved Tisha since the first time he laid eyes on her. The round-the-way girl was just the mix he needed in order to obtain his hip-hop status. Unfortunately, circumstances and having a hard head could cost him an eternity of love. Is there anything that can bring these two back into each other's arms?
PRIVACY has all the elements of a remix that once was a bland original rap song. If you read EXCLUSIVE, you knew that the story was good but with nothing to really make it pop out. PRIVACY does just the opposite. PRIVACY will have you turning the pages while laughing and crying with a little bit of "oh no he didn't" combined to make a banger. Kind of like having a Bow Wow song (Exclusive) but with R. Kelly in the remix (Privacy) you are destined to have a hit. With Devious being the next, in what I hope will be the end of the trilogy (hint hint), I wonder how Ms. Shiraz will come out the studio.

Complicated, not confusing, complicated is Tisha and Shout, Jordan and Juicy. Boom has new problems while the whole world keeps on moving. Still keeping on the format of the first book, Tisha is now in jail for what she did in Exclusive.
It took awhile, but Tisha and Shout got together in the end. But their relationship is rocky at best, with Tisha losing her job and reputation as a journalist and Shout battling another rapper who is on the rise. We shall not delude ourselves that the music industry is an easy one.
Jordan might have survived the crash, but she had lost her memories. Juicy plans to keep it that way if she wants Jordan all by herself. This is getting very interesting indeed, as I read on, it keeps getting juicier. Now I know why we need the third book: Devious, which is also gifted to me by Yasmin, and I can't wait to start.
The characters have developed, sometimes unrecognizable with the events that had happened, but are still true to human nature. Although I still struggle with difference in rapping language (let's call it that), I am finally feeling it, I think?
Overall, you do have to read Exclusive in order to fully appreciate Privacy, but you would be taken for quite a ride, just remember your seat belt.
PS: this cover is nicer than the one i had from author

I received a free copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
Book 2 in the Tisha Ariel Nikkole series picked up where the 1st left off. With more drama, lies, deception, love & friendship in the lives of Shout, Tisha, Juicy, Boom & Jordan.
Tisha is in jail for attempted murder, Shout is regretting his jealous actions, Juicy is praying for the woman she loves, Jordan is fighting for her life & Boom is helping his best friend while running his new company & looking for a ride or die woman to live his life & build a family empire with.
One lingering question I had throughout the book was where was Tishas female best friend from the first book?!
There was a lot going on through the whole book & parts of the end shocked me but it also made me eager for the 3rd book.

(Updated version-different cover than posted) Privacy was another great read by Yasmin Shiraz. Although Tisha life was in shambles, she somehow managed to hold it together. This book offered plenty of drama, surprises & deceptive characters which helped me to complete this book in less than a day. I especially liked the beginning that summarized the previous events in Exclusive. This book had a great storyline & I am looking forward to reading Devious to complete the trilogy.

The Drama Continues
Privacy jumped right in where Exclusive left off, attempted murder, secrets, lies, jealousy, and baby mama drama kept me turning the pages. Privacy invoked all emotions, I cried for Shout and Tisha, wanted to slap Jordan, felt sorry for Boom. As the story ended I found myself wondering if any of these characters would ever find happiness. Two cliffhangers sent me on to book 3 Devious looking for answers.

Privacy picks up where Exclusive left off. This was a great follow up book. Everything was bigger and bolder. The drama, the emotion, and the crazy. Privacy totally exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to read Devious and catch up with these characters.
