Rate this book
When it comes to love and marriage, things aren't always what they seem. After the untimely death of her parents, Kenya Franklin thought she'd lost it all until the smooth and strikingly handsome, Myles Whitaker entered her life. Unable to pull away from his magnetism, Kenya falls head over heels; eventually becoming emotionally obsessed and married to Myles against her better judgment. But the fairytale doesn't last long. After giving birth to her daughter, things start to change and pieces of the puzzle slowly come together causing Kenya's happy life to shatter. When she learns about her husband's ultimate betrayal, and realizes Myles is a counterfeit husband, Kenya can't help but ask herself, who the hell did I marry?

Kenya has found the real deal in Myles, a smooth talking brother who makes her his wife. As they welcome a new blessing and impending fortunes, Kenya quickly learns that nothing is as it seems and what was once authentic just maybe a replica. When fabricated lies begin to mesh together, will any resemblances of a real marriage remain?


Can you say, what a read?! The plot flowed effortlessly with drama. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed how they were able to in some ways exist in sub plots but come together when need be due to connections. I enjoyed the unraveling of the story as well as the conclusion. Though the epilogue left room for a possible continuation, I was left totally satisfied by the ending as it was. This was my first read by this author, but won't be my last.

Hands Down Carla Killed it. This book was on point from the first page. When I say hate is your main emotion for this book I mean it. The main character was something else. Perfect stand alone.

Kenya is married to Myles and just recently gave birth to a daughter, Kenya believes she is living her dream life.Unfortunately things aren't always what they seem. Kenya is about to find out the hard way who she is really married to and how naïve she has been. What a great read from the first page to the last nothing but drama, so many Oh Hell No moments I lost count. The twist and turns had me gasping and they kept coming all the way until the end.. Another banger by Carla Pennington she continuously writes 5 stars that leave you speechless

Kenya and Myles are married, but the marriage seems to be one sided. All Myles is concerned about is getting his hands on his wife's money. This book will have you cheering for the victim and anxiously waiting for downfall of the villain.
I loved this book!

This book was so good. Myles was a damn mess all he wanted was to use woman and that shit was messed up. I felt sorry for Kenya that's all I going to say because I will tell the whole story. It was so good that I had to put the book down because I didn't want it to end. I love the book the ending could have been more but hey it's Carla's book and I'm glad I had the pleasure to read it. I give this book 5 stars. Great job.

OMG!!!!!!!

I seriously don't even know where to start. There were so many twists and turns to this story, my mouth was open in shock several times. I hated Myles from the beginning and I'm glad he got his. I felt like I was watching Who The (Bleep) Did I Marry on the ID Channel. Definitely a page turner and a must read!!!
