Cold. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of her. Why you running from me? The first question comes to mind each time she turns her back on me. Rigid and cool to the touch, her heart had ice around it . She’d put it in the deepest, darkest hole and dared anyone to try and fetch it . A man that appreciates a challenge took this one on head first. And, with little bruising, I retrieved it. The red, barely recognizable organ was lifeless. Day by day, I nurtured it, nurtured her, and eventually, it began to beat again . Not just for anyone, but for me . Its revival was life’s greatest reward. The victory didn’t last very long. My lack of experience with handling something so precious led me to make rookie mistakes, ones that cost me her heart and mine, too .
Different. That’s what I believe him to be. Who sent you after my heart? It’s the question that plagued me each time he set out on my path. His pockets were stuffed and his accounts were limitless , affording him luxuries that not everyone had when it came to me. He didn’t flinch at the notion that he had to pay to play . It enticed him. That was my type. He was my type. But, he knew no boundaries . His quest commenced the second our eyes met, my body hypnotizing him and everyone else in the room around us. Sadly, they were a blur. All I saw was him . Tenacity was his specialty. He was as confident as he was persistent, tireless in his efforts to retrieve the one part of me that I’d buried for safekeeping . And, once he had it in his grasp, like every other man I’d shamefully given it to, he crushed it .

“To the Eisenberg’s” 🥂🍾 Grey told y’all out the gate 🗣️”STOP PLAYING WITH ME”!!! Aka put some respect on her mf name!! If there was ever a doubt who is a top contender as the literary G.O.A.T., allow me to introduce y’all to Grey MF Huffington!!
When I tell you she wrote this book with her whole soul. 🗣️She DID!! I have been in love with the Eisenberg/ Domino crew since the very beginning and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to survive without them! Now let’s get into the couple!! When I tell y’all I love Kleu and Lawe so dämn much!! Ugh these two were everything!!
Kleu was a legend in the world of exotic dancing. It wasn’t something she had to do, she wanted to dance and she did it flawlessly. For her dancing was art, it was euphoric and she was serious about her shît! In the words of Lawe, “Kleu was, in fact, the coldest motherfücker in Channing City and any other city she stepped foot in. Everybody knew it. It was an undisputed fact.” I mean anytime you’re getting shoutouts while chillin in clubs you don’t even work at…. 😮💨Sis name rang bells and rang them loudly! 🔔🔔 She was about her coin and knew she was bad bîtch! She was a very independent woman and despite love not being kind to her, she lived a life of peace. She was whole! She loved the finer things in life and was married to the money! Due to past heartbreak, love was no friend of hers. That’s until a night at Lust connected her to her twin flame.
Let me just say, Laike has some competition because Lawe is MY MAN! He was a whole fool and I loved him so much! Lawe’s soul is in turmoil. While his twin is the forgiving pure hearted individual, Lawe is cold and heartless. He has a chip on his shoulder that stems from what he thought was abandonment by a father he never knew. Now that the truth is revealed, he’s struggling with forgiving his father for the resentment he’s had all these years and forgiving his mother for depriving him of said relationship. Meeting Kleu has him realizing that there’s more to life and that he wants what his siblings have! It ain’t nothing like a woman having a nîggâ in a chokehold! He don’t know how to act at all and Lawe was a prime example. Him and Laike can teach a class about being crazy behind the love of a woman! He was on some “we go together real bad” ish!
All the BS that these two went through was worth it in the end! I will say that I would’ve loved the full story on what happened with Kleu and ole boy. It had to have been bad to close your heart off for 8 years. That missing piece made it difficult to connect with Kleu’s reasoning for not giving love another try.
This review is getting way too long 🤣🤣 so let me wrap this up by saying :
Grey is the best at what she does 💐
I’m going to miss this crew 🥰💔
I can’t wait for Malachi’s story😳
Is Shay still waiting at Crushed Pepper 🥴

Klue x Lawe
First of all, if you're not reading Grey Huffington's books, what are you even doing? She has managed to make her way to the very top of my favorite list. It's like she has the Midas touch. Everything she touches turns into gold. Hats off, Grey!!
I LOVED this book…biggest understatement if ever there was one. The story had me by the neck from page one. Klue was an exotic dancer who dominated the stage at Lust. She exuded bad bịtch, independence, and confidence. But behind that, she'd been mending a broken heart while doing her best, protecting it. We knew her heart was broken, but we got to see the severity of it throughout the story. Especially when we find out she's been guarding her heart for the last 8 years. Cause sis was terrified of relationships and commitment. The author did not really give us much details about this, but I would have loved to have known what happened between her and Trey. But one thing Klue knew how to do was get her bag and dammit, she did it well. If you ain't talking money, what are you even saying? She met Lawe during one of her sets, and he immediately became enamored. Quite frankly, so did she. (Ch.10 Pg. 232) “It means this is inevitable. You’re inevitable."
She never stood a chance when it came to Lawe.
Lawe, fine åṣs, BDE, toxic, crazy af Lawe. Gosh, I loved that man. Toxic and all. He and Laike together is a recipe for disaster, talking about "Trap 'em." If you didn't know Lawe, you'd never be able to tell he was dealing with some pretty big issues himself: From his mom's death, to abandonment from dad, (which is a whole other thing, cause there's a back story). But Lawe feared nothing and no one. This man moves however the fuxx he wanted and can't be told nothing. Gosh, I'm so in love with him. The way he pursued Klue so relentlessly was so admirable. This man essentially wore her out. But Lawe has so many layers. He's so much more than meet the eyes. If it wasn't clear, the Lawe is my favorite. He outdid Laike in the hot mess department. He and Klue took us on this amazing journey with tons of laughter, crazy sėx, hilarious banter, and some pretty heavy stuff.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. Read this entire series. Grey outdid herself with this one. She said don't play with her…and won't. She said chef's kiss…and is.

Lawe & Kleu (Siren/Black)
Lawe is the forever player....you know what to expect from him because he's definitely not leading anyone on....he's telling you up front not to expect anything from him...expect a good time....Kleu was all about her paper....all she wanted to get to was her money. Until their worlds collide. This couple was definitely meant to be...except...the two of them had a slight uphill battle....I love the fact that for Lawe there was an immediate attraction. Kleu also felt something...but she was certain that she needed to stay away from "devil d*ck"....Kleu brought out a much softer side of the Domino/Eisenberg twin...When he was around her, he really was a different man. I love the relationship Ledge and Lawe have built with their Eisenberg family....especially the relationship between Laura and Lawe. I enjoyed getting reacquainted with the Domino Brothers of Berkeley (Ledge & Lawe's maternal cousins)...I'm excited to read all of their stories. Grey definitely through a twist in for me by introducing a new love interest for Lawe, because I was thinking with all of the flirting he was doing to Kamber (Halo's best friend) I thought that was the new love connection....I was wrong...perhaps we will see her with one of the cousins. I'm definitely here for it. These are the type of stories I never want to end.
2nd Read was the audiobook..the narration was not that great to me….fortunately, I’ve already read the story.

Lawe really is Lawless 😩
Well, I thought Laike was the final wrap to the Eisenbergs but wow this is the finale to the Eisenbergs! This prologue had me tight and mad I forgot about my girl Kleu! It makes sense that Lawe ends up with a Carmichael like Laike! Instant attraction is the best way to describe Lawe and Kleu (Siren). He was mesmerized since she first stepped on the stage as Siren at Club Lust. Kleu couldn’t keep her eyes off him either so it was only dated that after he spent a band on her they ended up at the same hotel! Kleu was about her money and after a tough heartbreak she wasn’t open to giving her heart to another but she didn’t know Lawe was going to take her heart regardless! That prologue set the tone for a back and forth random encounters until they realize how they are connected and once Kleu lets her heart in baby she was all in which I loved and hated for her cause Lawe was still reckless 😭. Somebody check on if Shay still at that restaurant waiting! Bianca was trifling and Danielle unfortunately irrelevant 🤭. Lawe had major changes happening in his life while falling for Kleu and I wish he would’ve been honest with at least his family about what was going on. That surprise was terrible and would’ve been the worst bday ever for me! Baby Grey worked her magic to bring this couple back together cause the other shoe definitely dropped at 74% in 😭. Kleu is my girl through and through and I’m glad she worked through her issues and checked that hoe in the epilogue 😆🤭. But overall I enjoyed this book so much! Liam is hilarious and was comedic relief! 😂 I also enjoyed seeing Lawe adapt to his family while being able to let go of the hurt he felt for his mom. So many emotions but this book was good! Also excited to be in Berkeley and see what is in store for the new city!!

I STAN THE EISENBERGS!!
Every last one of them, and it's not up for debate.
Listen, Grey MF Huffington, you did that!!👏🏾👏🏾I mean the damn prologue about took me out; way to set the damn stage!!!!
I absolutely LOVED Lawe. More than Laike, sorry not sorry 😩. He may have been a little unstable, hella rude, brash, with a trigger finger 🤷🏾♀️ buuuut let's not get ahead of ourselves he was also finer than wine, PAID, known for breaking backs, a protector, and he was hilarious. He was a little rough around the edges, but I was feeling it and the BDE was pouring off him heavily. After years of playing the field, he finally felt like he wanted something more. Struggling from the loss of his mother and the abandonment (although unintentional) of his father, he ends up tied to Bianca, this heaux🙄, and he was literally embarrassed to tell his family. I'm still trying to figure out why he trusted her though 🤔. He finds himself yearning for a connection he didn't think he would ever have....that is until he runs into the coldest bi#$h in Berkeley...THE beautiful Kleu aka Black🖤
Kleu was a MF stallion. We talking thicc in all the right places, beautiful dark chocolate brown skin, confident, a goddess boss babe if you will. I loved that she was a girly girl and took pride in her appearance. Kleu had given up on love after two relationships left her broken. Instead money was her motivation. She was a proud stripper and she had tunnel vision until she felt Lawe's presence. He came in and shook baby girls world up. After no intercourse for 8 years, one interaction with Lawe with his nonchalant smart mouth. It was game over, baby girl had no chance. These two twin flames were wild and uninhibited. I love that Kleu made him step his game up. She made it clear that HE would cater to her. Of course his dumb as$ took that to the next level🙄lol, but she gave him some gentlemen qualities. Sis was scared though, because she felt that the passion they shared could only lead to heartbreak. Lawe unfortunately still had some maturing to do, he fumbles a situation and they have to find their way back together.
This journey was sexy, fun, and aggressive. You will laugh A LOT. You will feel their pain. You will need a damn Fan 🥵🪭 You will enjoy the cameos from the rest of the Eisenberg clan. Papa Liam was in rare firm and it's clear that Lawe and Laike fall from his crazy tree. Those two together were helllll.
Laike remains a mess, still sweet on B though. Mama Laura was present and her love was felt. I could go on forever, but know this was one of my favorites in the series. Do yourself a favor and fall in love with the Eisenbergs with me!

4.5 ⭐️ Such a great conclusion to Eisenberg's series. Kleu and Lawe piqued my interest right away with the prologue. It was simply chemistry that caused the initial attraction. Lawless Lawe, the man's screws are all loose. It's basically his way or no way for the dude. He'd spotted Kleu and wasn't about to let up. She was doomed the moment he saw her at that restaurant. Idk this was an instant love, but I wanted to witness more of their relationship. Obviously, they had sexual chemistry, but I wanted more before it all blew apart. I despised Bianca, like the audacity… her decision to proceed in that manner was insane. I liked how the couple didn't desire children because not everyone desires them. It's always great to hear about the Eisenbergs, but now I'm curious about Malachi and his story.

They weren't my favorite😭 but i still enjoyed their story

Lawe, the final brother and installment in this series was suffering from a broken heart. A broken heart over the loss of his mother and being unable to forgive her for robbing him of the one thing he wanted the most, a father. Despite finally meeting his father and new family, who loves him unconditionally, he can’t put aside his feelings of being unwanted, unloved and misunderstood.
Kleu was a 30 yo exotic dancer who was all about getting her bag. She’d been in love once but once was one time too many. The only thing a man could do for her now was line her pockets. Kleu willingly gave Lawe her body but would never surrender her heart... or so she thought. The attraction between the two was instant and Lawe was determined to have her even that meant he had to toss her over his shoulder and have her people looking for her for weeks.
Hands down, Lawe was my favorite story throughout the series. Grey came out swinging with this one and she didn’t hold back not one punch 🥊. I was already expecting a wild ride being that Laike and Lawe were supposed to have similar temperaments. We all know them apples ain’t fall too far from the tree and they got it honestly from their daddy, Liam. His mouth was just as reckless as theirs. The back and forth banter between him and Lawe was comical and endearing.
The prologue was giving Novella and worth all 60 or so pages of it. The chemistry between Lawe and Kleu caught fire from the very beginning and continued to blaze throughout. The dancing and seggs scenes were orgasmic! 😈😈
Bianca sat on my last nerve throughout the entire book and I knew something was up with her shiesty ass. I really wished that Kleu would have gotten the opportunity to drag her ass.
I really enjoyed this story and couldn’t get enough of Lawe and Kleu, I wanted more time with them. I’m looking forward to the Berkeley Bred series and the magic I know Grey will create with them.

How do I keep loving each brother more than the other?!?!
Now I know I said Laike was my favorite, then I probably said Ledge was my favorite, but this darn LAWE!!!!!! Whew! I thought he would be way more drama and he was just a man smitten with a woman that stopped at nothing to get her.
Lawe was dedicated to proving to Black that he could be everything she required. He was ready and willing to trick to get her and I was here for it. He dealt with his innermost feelings in such a major way it brought me to tears. I was so upset and disappointed with him for withholding vital information from not only his family but also Kleu, but I came to understand the why.
Those boys losing their mom really had the rug ripped out from under them and the way Grey Huffington is not letting us forget they are grieving is flawless. The way Liam's wife (Laura? I can't remember her name) has stepped in to mother her sons(not step or bonus) is everything.
This was for sure my favorite read to date but I just know a gangster party is coming soon because what just happened?!?!?
Grey Huffington is truly an author to one click and in her own words, don't play with her!

This was for sure my favorite read to date but I just know a gangster party is coming soon because what just happened?!?!?
Grey Huffington is truly an author to one click and in her own words, don't play with her!

I don’t know what it was about this book but it just wasn’t connecting for me like the other books in the series. There were so many things bothering me within the story. Firstly, Kleu and Lawe were definitely made for each other, and the sexual chemistry was in overdrive. But IN LOVE? I didn’t feel it. I don’t feel like we got to experience them truly falling in love with each other.
Now for the things that bothered me… Lawe is a twin, and he spoke to Ledge ONE TIME in the entire story. I understood his connection with Laike but more than Ledge his identical twin who he experienced the hardest parts of life with? He’s known Laike for one year bro.
The next thing that didn’t make sense and so damn random was him digging up the grave of a man that’s been dead over 10 years to shoot him again…. Man WHAT?! LMAOOO BFFR! He ain’t that close to Lyric from what we’ve read to be doing no extra shit like that lol 😂. I sucked my teeth so hard at that.
Overall it was a good book but my least favourite in the series.

I don't have the words... 4.95
You all, I don't have the words to express how this story hit me in my heart. Lawe had so much going on with the loss of his mother and finding his dad and especially, Laura. When he went home to let Laura baby him, and receive his father's tough love, it was epic. I was not crazy about Black until half way through the story. Her repetitive voice about her next moves mostly, tired. When Black finally came to terms with her heart,it broke when Lawe let her down. I was heartbroken too. But mostly, this story was about a couple so much alike it was scary. The .5 deduction was for the pacing and Black's repetitive voice.

Kleu tried her hardest to fight Lawe but his BDE said nah I’ll follow that ass everywhere 🤣. Bianca bxtch 😒😒. I loved hearing updates on the family 🥰. I loved them officially getting the Eisenberg last name 🥰. I can’t wait for Malachi book.

I didn’t think that a book in the series could be worst than Ledge but the author said “hold my beer”. This book is unnecessarily wordy and descriptive with nothing really happening. In other words, I didn’t like it and I asked myself multiple times while reading -what the hell is going on? It lacked character development, storyline and it felt rushed. I need more backstory on Kleu and the many other characters that she introduced. It seemed like this book was a gateway to the other books in the series because as I type, I am still waiting for the romance between this couple. The whole book focused on Lawe pursuing Klue but we never got to see them as an actual couple. Like why does the book have to be one big ass struggle? Then the ending?? Are you serious? No contact then she just shows up and says “I’m okay, I worked it out? I mean really? I am disappointed in the execution of this book and I feel the author should started doing better with revealing content warnings in her books. I would say the only thing that kinda sorta had me interested was the fact that the main character didn’t get pregnant. Shocking. Other than that, this book isn’t memorable at allllll and not the best addition to this series

More like 3.5 stars.
Now that I’ve finished The Eisenberg Effect and The Domino Effect, I feel I can write a complete review about Grey Huffington’s writing and the characters she writes about.
Both series, which are connected, are all about 3-stars, a very middle of the road, average story that’s neither completely awful or stellar.
I think my biggest issue comes from the author’s idea of positive Black love portrayals - what she has written is simply not it, the relationships are toxic (some abusive), the women aren’t astute or independent, the men are immature and violent.
I guess one of these authors is popular every so often and now’s Grey Huffington’s time.
I’m done with her books, not sure that I really see the hype or contribution to Black lit/Black romance but I also get it - new readers have something to look forward to with her stories that are entertaining.

That damn Eisenberg family!! I love them all, from the daddy on down! Lawe is a special case tho lmao. I'm still not sure who is the craziest out of him and Laike...
I really enjoyed this story. Grey know she can write a prologue!! Kleu was the right woman for Lawe and he wasn't playing about her. AT ALL and I love it!! I'm glad they figured it out cause Idk if he would have been alright.
I can't wait for the next book!!

As I predicted, Lawe danced all over ny nerves, but Klue matched him in every way. These two really were twin flames. But really I'm so glad I read Lawe's book. We get a deeper look into Lawe. I enjoyed The Eisenberg/Domino family. On to the Berkeley Bred very soon. Happy reading!

As hard as I tried, I couldn't find one redeeming quality about Lawe from start to finish. Lawe is a narcissist. He didn't make one decision that wasn't self-serving the entire story. He didn't do anything swoon worthy. He seems to think his entire value lies in his money cause that's all he has to say for himself. The way he abandoned his responsibilities wasn't cute. Deciding to spend a few hours here and there with his newborn, leaving the mother to pick up everything was a joke. It's a great thing the baby turned out not to be his because he didn't know the first thing about being a father. He disrespected each and every woman in the story. I have yet to figure out why Kleu thinks she loves him. Surely not when he harassed, lied to, disrespected, and tried to buy her. At 36 years old, daddy issues just don't cut it as an excuse anymore. He is reckless and immature. I think his death would have been far more interesting end to the storyline.
Aside form the huge character flaw that is Lawe, the tale itself was overly descriptive. There were pages and pages of narration and dialog that added no substance to the plot. The focus on hitting a word count vs telling a story is evident. I miss GH's novellas, which kept me wanting more unlike these drawn out novels that offer far too much irrelevant information and not nearly enough feelings.

These two are a NASTY match made in heaven! I love them together.. Kleu and I share the same birthday.. maybe that’s why I connect with her.. I like that she’s different from the other wives.. she marches to the beat of her own drum and owns who she is.. she doesn’t lack confidence.. she knows her power.. her and Lawe together is perfection.. his “come ‘er” text and that last scene between them on the edge of the stage.. yes to all of it! I’ve read this book twice and will read it again before the year is over

Laaaaaawe!!!
Although I kinda saw certain things coming like the kid not being his that was easy…..The way he thugged Klue wheeeeeew!!
Again I love how the family just love on each other and they all fell inline like they’ve known about Lawe and Ledge since birth!
I’m also happy that a bunch of babies weren’t the center of their relationship

Lawe really didn’t play about Kleu! A little toxic love!! But Kleu loved him enough to help him heal!
October 3, 2024
5/5 ⭐️ | Y’all I thought Laike was toxic. Meet his lil brother whom matches his energy times 10. I mean I understand how they are behind their women, by any means necessary with a side of toxic. Kleu didn’t have a clue what she was getting herself into but she found out quick.
“You’re mine. From the top of your head to your pinky toe, you’re mine, Black. And I’ll burn the whole fucking city of Berkley down to prove it. Don’t make me take it there.” — Lawe

BABYYYYYYYYY that prologue 🔥🥵🍆👏🏾!!! Now that is how you open a book, from now on that’s how you open a book (In my Mike Lawry voice- Bad boy reference).
Klue is my BISH!!! She bad! My girl is all about the bag and accomplishing her goals and she’s not gonna let nothing get in her way especially a man. Burned by love in the pass she swore that she would never love again. She was married to them bills 💵. My girl is a bad ass exotic dancer by choice, and is a legend in these streets! Every time she hits the stage, she shuts it down. Like I said she is on her boss ass independent woman ish and thinking about a man is the furthest thing from her mind, well that is until one night at Lust she crosses paths with the likes of Lawe Domino her twin flame 🔥.
LAWE DOMINO, you talking about BDE, this man exudes that shit!! He don’t have to say a word, it’s just in him not on him! And his pockets are deep AF. From the moment he lays eyes on Klue he is caught in her web, my nigga dropped 20 stacks on her in 12 mins!!!!!!!
Klue was thrown off at there first encounter, it has been eight years, since she felt anything for a man, but just laying eyes on Lawe, had her shook. Y’all their paths kept crossing and only one word could answer why, fate. After running into him in her hotel elevator, Lawe doesn’t give her a choice, but to go have breakfast with him, and let’s just say shit gets real hot and heavy!
This man didn’t even know my girls names for a good while but was STUCK on her ass!!
I loved how Klue let Lawe know he would be a gentlemen in her presence, or he can kick rocks, homegirl was not touching any doorhandles, and I was here for it all!
This series just keeps getting better and better! Luca is my husband and Lawe definitely is my side piece. Sorry I need them both!
Lawe and Laike together is hilarious, Lawe wasn’t feeling Laike’s Hoochie daddy shorts 🤣🤣
There is so much I can say about this book but then I would be writing a novel! Just go read it.

Quite honestly I am shocked at how highly rated this book is! I am being generous with a 2 as this is not my type of book (it probably deserves a 1).
I was perturbed that nothing really happened between Lawe and Kleu until about 50%…it was boring.
There was a lot of random conversations with other characters that did nothing to move the story. And there were so many characters! This was my first in the series and I guess I needed to read the others but no thank you.
And I hated this Relationship; it made zero sense to me because there was zero development/time spent so I can see why they fell in love.
Lawe was so irritating because he was so immature. He’s almost 40 but solely relies on his money and I didn’t see why Kleu would bother with him beyond the wallet ESPECIALLY after the baby.
This one simply didn’t work for me at all and makes me not even want to read others by this author.

This book was crazier than all the others! But I loved it.
Lawe and Klue are meant to be together in a maddening way: They’re like 2 meteors burning and approaching each other at full speed and when they crash together it’s explosive yes, but there is a lot of love and care there. With a heavy dose of crazy.

LAWE... Whenever I read a Grey book, I say this will be "my man, my man, my man," but this might be up there with Luca! He was so reckless I had to laugh. I hesitated to read it; it had been on my shelf for some time, but it was worth it.
Kleu was such a graceful woman. She was hurt and closed off. It was justified, though. The tricky girl thing she had going on was just for show. She is soft, loving, and an all-in kind of girl.
Lawe... man needed to calm down, and he found just the lady to that to him. I am shocked, I thought he would be just like Laike, but they are nothing alike. Maybe the temperament, but that is all. All the men in the family are so unique it becomes so easy to fall for them. He was indeed a LAWE-LESS man.
PS. All Grey Huffington books leave me hot, tempted, and want! MY GOD!!!
Thank you for another great book!!

Lawe. Break the Lawe. Laweless. I really liked his unhinged, super toxic self but this connection with Kleu didn’t really sell it for me. Like yeah they definitely had a sexual chemistry but the romance was not hitting the same. Idk. Liked Kleu’s character but I definitely thought she was dragging the situation. Like ma’am y’all was official for all of two minutes like he just learned your government name yesterday lmaooo 🙄 And Lawe barely had told the people who actually knew him what was up lol. But anyway, Daddy Liam was of course my favorite because he stay getting these children together with the witty comebacks and of course any pages with my man, my man, my man, Laike makes me smile.
Also reading about some more fine brothers always is exciting and I’m looking forward to getting into the Berkeley series ASAP.
This is getting 3.5⭐️‘s

This book was so good! It had me by the neck my whole Sunday because I did not want to put it down. Do I got responsibilities and work in the morning? Yes, did I care? No, because Lawe and Klue had me entangled in their attraction.
You have two emotionally unavailable people meet, and the attraction between them with a whole distance was undeniable. Both of them coming together.. inevitable.
Lawe for me he’s a bit too harsh, and rude. All up in your face even from first meeting, but that works for him, and worked for Klue. I still loved him, and how vulnerable he allowed himself to be (even while withholding a secret).
When Klue hurt, I hurt.. I’m glad he was able to let each other go, and come back to each other.
I loved seeing the addition of the Domino brothers. Grey you did your thing girl with these books!
(I disliked Chapter 12) I was highkey hurt for Klue.

Lawe is my nigga. I fell for this silly ass dude. The growth he showed over the course of the book got me. Grey wrote the hell out of this one. Lawe wouldn't let his love for Klue fall. He saw what he wanted and locked in. When he messed up he groveled. I loved Klue too. She was a strong chic and she was down for a nigga. That scene where she was about to drag Bianca was 💯💥. I loved this book.

Lawe mannerisms being similar to Laike was funny to see unfold. Kleu matching Lawe’s energy was priceless. They both got more than they bargained for but watching how they compromised, overcame obstacles, and communicated while showing up even during the hard times was everything.
Enjoyed this story. It was refreshing to see just how alike yet different Lawe was from his brothers.
