When A Mans Fed Up

by Raynesha Pittman

Savannah was everything Dre wanted in a woman: beautiful, educated, independent, and classy. On top of that, she was the best damned lover Dre had ever had. It had to be Kismet that brought these two together because karma would have never allowed it. Savannah had made too many negative deposits into karma’s bank without any withdrawals to end up with a good man like Dre. Perhaps, karma and kismet were in cahoots. There was a lot about Savannah that Dre didn’t know initially, like her non-nurturing, revenge-seeking, conniving, and unfaithful ways. Nor did Dre know that he had fallen in love with karma’s new prey on the eve of her receiving a taste of everything she had dished out. However, there was also a lot about Dre that Savannah didn’t know, nor did she take the time to find out. Two facets in particular were his low tolerance for infidelity and zero tolerance for lies! After pushing Dre over the edge multiple times with both, what will she do when he volunteers to jump off? Kismet 3- When a Man’s Fed Up, the final installment of the Kismet trilogy, picks up where Kismet 2 left you, except Dre has now taken over and is ready to help Savannah get whatever she has coming to her! What will happen when Dre is no longer blinded by love and realizes he fell in love with a woman whose worth is less than a penny broken in half? What will happen when he decides to collect all that he feels is rightfully his? Is it Karma or Kismet? You decide.

About the author

About the Author: Raynesha Pittman grew up as one of L.A's many troubled youth which led her into serving four years around Los Angeles juvenile corrections centers, placements, and camps. She first recognized her love for writing while incarcerated. Her first manuscript was written to her mother in hopes of giving her insight to what Raynesha was going through as a teen but never published. One positive Raynesha had during her troubled years was book smarts, her ticket out of the hands of correctional facilities. She was an honors student since kindergarten, certified gifted in the third grade, and was sent to Woodland hills, CA for a more challenging education, yet she had to be placed in Honors classes there too. Her temper and fighting had her removed from the enriched schools but that didn't stop her. She crossed the stage as the valedictorian of her high school a month after turning 16 years old, her graduation credits were meet at 15 and she received acceptance letters to five out-of-state private institutions of higher education which she later declined offers to due to still being on probation until 18 years of age and not being able to leave the state. California State University at Los Angeles and Northridge accepted her last minute application with open arms. While attending school, she discovered she was pregnant and decided to put her role as a mother first. After carrying her second child she moved to TN for a new start with her sons and received her PTCB national certification in July 2010 after 3 1/2 years of being a licensed Pharmacy technician. It was while working in a pharmacy she met Michael Antonio of Payne Publishing, Inc., who encouraged her to write a book. She took his opinion to heart and wrote her debut novel "Kismet". Raynesha currently lives in TN with her, “Roq” and six children.

Professionally: Raynesha Pittman is the CEO, Founder and an author at Conglomerate Ink, an Urban Literature publishing company established November 2010 to help authors expose and share their talents of storytelling while developing discipline in their craft. In May 2011 Raynesha was offered the opportunity to help promote literacy nationwide by childhood friend, author and now publisher Terry L. Wroten by joining the West Coast Authors Movement also known as W-CAM where Raynesha not only fills the position of an author on the team but is also over website design and management and acts as W-CAM's Southern liaison due to her living in the South. Her greatest literary achievement came in January 2014 when she was signed to Write2Eat Concepts publications under the legendary K'wan Foye. From there possibilities became endless. Raynesha currently has two books in stores under Kensington/Urban Books, another due to release in March 2017 under Kensington/ Urban Renaissance and Penguin/Random House and one title in stores under her own publishing company. She says, “…this is only the beginning.”

Accomplishments: Raynesha was nominated in the Hip Hop of the Ville awards for best Indie author of the year in January 2012 and was also nominated in the Prodigy Publishing Group's Second Annual Urban Literary Awards for most likely to succeed debut author of the year in February 2012. In 2015 Raynesha was nominated for Journalist of the year in the Southern Entertainment Awards.

Righting My Wrongs

WHEN A MAN’S FED UP picks right up where KISMET 2- SOMETHINGS YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ended. Savannah has to make a decision to love, honor, and ride with Dre or be on her way.

Dre, despite knowing who Savannah truly is, is intoxicated by Savannah’s devotion to him. His reward to her is him. What he didn’t count on was his wicked mother-in-law throwing a monkey wrench in their destiny.

Unforeseen circumstances send Dre and Savannah back to the south. Their love is continually tested and Dre finds himself doubting what they share is legitimate. When Savannah is faced with facts, she realizes that she’s caused more harm than good in mostly all of her relationships, friends and/or family, and tries turning over a new leaf. Can they finally live happily ever after?

WHEN A MAN’S FED UP is the third installment in the series. As a reader, you want to know that the authors you’re reading are nurturing their skills. Confident that Pittman knows how to delve out the drama, I wanted her story to keep me page flipping. I finally feel as if the real Dre and Savannah appeared. Dre’s voice was louder and readers were able to see both of their insecurities. Initially I worried about what part 3 would reveal, but I really enjoyed it. So much so that I started and finished the book in one day.

I’ve mentioned the editing in each of my reviews. While I can see the changes, there are still notable issues with editing. One prime example - the title on the book cover. The apostrophe is missing from mans. There are missing words, wrong tenses, and missing punctuation. However, the story was strong enough that the reader was not distracted. Though I really enjoyed this story, I felt the ending was hurried. The epilogue left a lot to the imagination. Looking forward to what Pittman has next for readers.

In the first 2 stories, Savannah took Dre to hell and back! So what's a man to do when he is fed the hell up???

In part 3 you can feel the frustration that Dre is going thru while dealing with Savannah. Throughout this story, I had a few moments where I felt like maybe this leopard had indeed changed her spots. I shoulda known with Savannah, there is more than what meets the eye. My boo Dre, is truly on one hell of a rollercoaster ride with this chick. Especially given the situation that he is currently in.

I honestly feel like my review can't do this book justice. Every emotion I felt while reading K3, I felt like Raynesha Pittman wanted me to feel. I hated to see this series end but I can't wait to see what other stories Mrs Pittman has in store for readers next :-). Maybe Sade can get a story??? Congratulations on an amazing series!!
