Already Taken 2

by Love N. Lee

Fallon had her future all mapped out after being reunited with her first love Cash—or so she thought. After Strap, Cash’s younger brother, suddenly divulges his feelings for her, things get complicated. Who will she end up with? The answer should be obvious, but Fallon surprises herself when she begins second-guessing her relationship with Cash. Just when she thinks she has it all figured out, secrets of the past resurface. The choice may not be up to Fallon after all…
After Shantreis’s boyfriend Outlaw discovers that she’s pregnant and the baby may not be his, her whole world begins to fall apart. Fueled by her desperation to keep the lavish lifestyle that she’s accustomed to, Shantreis is down for whatever—even at the cost of betraying Blaze, the man that saved her life and possibly the father to her unborn child. After successfully erasing both men out of her life, Shantreis is finally happy. Unfortunately, there are a few loose strings that she failed to tie up, leading fate to her doorstep…
Love N. Lee has penned another masterpiece confirming that no one can be trusted, loyalty has lost its meaning, and claiming to be ‘already taken’ is irrelevant.

About the author

Georgia native Love N. Lee has had a passion for reading since she was in Pull Ups. It wasn't until she had to write a short story as a class assignment in elementary that she discovered that she liked to write and create her own stories. Love's parents and teachers took note of her talent, believing that one day she could become an author. Unfortunately, Love felt it would only remain a hobby since she thought it was too difficult to land a publishing deal. It would be nearly ten years before she picked up her pen again.

Love dropped out of college after having her son, and then relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina. While working at a call center, in-between calls and on her break, she would read urban fiction. Soon she began working on her own novel as her interest in writing returned. Thanks to a chance encounter, Love linked up with best-selling author Treasure E. Blue on a social networking site. He introduced her to other literary heavyweights that shared resources to help her perfect her craft and offered invaluable advice. After receiving encouragement and mentoring from Nakea Murray of The Literary Consultant Group and David Weaver of SBR Publications, she decided to bring her dreams to fruition.

Taking a leap of faith, Love quit her job and began writing full-time. Her novel 'Already Taken' hit virtual bookshelves in July and became an overnight bestseller. After much hard work, she is now the CEO and Founder of JME Publications, which specializes in romance books for the hood. Love currently lives in Georgia with her four-year-old son. Outside of writing, she enjoys reality TV, K-dramas, and traveling.

This installment picked up right where it left off in part one. I did appreciate the brief recap in the beginning of the book due to the time that has passed since the second installment was released. I felt that in part 1 there was more of an emotional connection between the characters and readers we were in the middle of the drama. In this one it just seems as though we were on a merry go around hearing the same arguments and issues over and over again. I did like this read but it did not stand hype to the hype as part one. Overall 3.5 stars

Wasted my time🤬🤬🤬

Sorry I couldn't get past the fact that everyone was so street and conniving, but yet so STUPID. Nothing about this book was believable. Mad I wasted my time.

Fallon is back and still caught up in a love triangle,Will she choose Strap or Cash? as she contemplates her future,drama starts to unfold,and she is the cause of it.Meanwhile Fallon's best friend Shantreis is still up to no good and find herself digging a deeper of hole with her web of lies.Can she change her ways before it's too late?

This book begins where part 1 ended,the drama was good.I thought that some of the story-line was a little unbelievable and the way Fallon was portrayed was so different than how she was in part 1.However it was still a good read and I think it should end at this book.Good Job Love Lee

Overall, the book was entertaining, though I didn't like Fallon' s character at all. Similar to the first book, I was turned off by the constant use of the N-word, the word bitch used as a term of endearment, and the word incredulously used over, and over. I felt as though the author had nowhere left to go with the story line, so she ended it in an attempt to give the characters as happy of an ending as she felt possible but without giving closure to Outlaw' s daughter and full closure on the others. I do hope this is it, with no book 3, but if there is another to follow, I can't say that I won't read it.

ok first I'm going to start with the negative. the fact that the book took place in 2011 it should have picked back up in 2011 some of the songs are made in 2012 -2013 bad move. the character was very annoying with this ring around the rosie bs. the plot was great however I still love them hardy boys this book had potential to be a five star but with all those errors *grammar too* I couldn't do it. but its highly recommended to read it was good :)

I like that the author picked up from where she left off in book 1, but don't feel like is was consistent throughput. Didn't like what Shantreis did in front of Outlaw's daughter Monet and especially didn't care for the way she threatened her to the point the little girl was on mute scary to talk. Grammatical errors in this book as well, but the ending made up for those. It was truly a happy ending for all of the Hardy brothers.

Not a big fan of the ending . I would have preferred Cash with Remy than with Fallon lying behind. Im team cash and think he deserved better. I didn't really like Fallon's character In this story , she was a totally different character from part 1 . Overall, a decent read , ready for rap star wives 2.

[Nichelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was well worth the wait. I wish the book was longer but overall a pretty good read. Cash, Strap and Fallon are all back with drama of course. Not a fan of Fallon's at all but I still love me some Cash and Strap. If you've read part one than the wait is over go and get part 2 ASAP. I know there has to be a part 3 so please don't make us wait another year:).

[Miss Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a an OK read for me. Whereas I LOVED the first one I only LIKED this one. I didn't like Fallon's character at all. There was drama and all that but this book just didn't grab me like I had expected it to. However I would still recommend it.

[Treasure Malian · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good read. Pretty fast paced and entertaining. My only gripe about it was there was no growth in the women characters. They digressed a bit. Overall though I would definitely recommend it. This author is talented. Good job.

[Sweetie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was an okay read...I liked the first one better...Fallon & Shantreis were so stupid...just one dumb decision after another...I wanted to like them...but they made it very difficult with every page I read...I can't believe both of these girls got a happy endings.

Simply Amazing

Simply Amazing

I got turned on to this author I was amazed at her writing in Already taken one. Just now reading two. But I loved it no doubt. You asked if part three is needed absolutely. Looking forward to reading Rap Wifey when I get a chance

[BookishhTori · Rating 5 out of 5]

This flowed really well. Already Taken 2 gave me more than enough drama and coincidence. The way the book ended had me still questing if the baby was carrying really belong to Cash. I'm happy Strap find happiness.
