Bacarri Aguilard takes "having his way" to another level. His multimillion dollar nude magazine empire is the reason for that. He can have anything he wants, and that includes women. He's satisfied with his polygamous relationship with his three girlfriends until he meets a woman by the name of Divine Jones who changes that. Divine wasn't looking for any entanglements. Her only motive is to make some fast cash to take provide for her daughter after being abandoned by her baby daddy. She gets more than what she reckons for when she enters the world of Pink Pussycat Enterprises.
Baccari know he wrong for pursuing Divine knowing he already has 3 girlfriends. Wth! Lol Divine said she wanted no parts of that circus. I loved him stepping up and loving on Divine daughter Dolce 🥰🫶🏽
Running to book 2! At the end of book 1 Divine had enough and told that Baccari to go touch grass lmaooooo his girlfriends got his head all F’d up!
Love me some Devine! I want her to stand in her power and not give un to Bacarri. Make him step up for what he wants. This was a really great read. Exciting, entertaining and endearing. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Ima rate this a 4.25 ⭐️. Poly tropes are not spiel but I was interested when I heard it this may be the dismantling of one. Even though this had me so stressed out, I can’t say I was not invested. I really expected Divine to stand on business longer than she did. She knew she couldn’t handle being a fourth girlfriend but would complain about him being unavailable after agreeing to mess around. I expected him to give into her sooner but he still was sticking to his plans. This is also kinda a step daddy trope. Divine has a one month old daughter upon their introduction and I’m a sucker for a step up daddy. Her ex was THE WORSE. Anyways this ends on a cliffhanger and of course I’m reading book 2. I’m prepared to be more stressed out.
I wasn’t sure what I was going to get when I first started reading this because Bacarri had a whole lot going on in his home life with his 3 girlfriends but this was such a good read. Divine was just my type of FMC. She met Bacarri exactly where he was at and returned all the energy he gave. Book 2 me please!
I’m getting tired of these sequel books. Black female urban romance authors spacing out their installments reduces the enjoyment and connection a reader has with the characters. CION and other authors in their genre can have book 2 already completed when they release book 1 and release them together just like Netflix. This waiting 6 months for book 2 seems like lazy writing.
The first chapter was nothing but an information dump that bored me. DNF only because it took too long to get to the meat and potatoes. I’ve heard great things about this author, and I will check out her catalog to see what else I might enjoy. But this one wasn’t it.
I enjoyed the destruction of ploy relationships. Often time when authors wrote about the poly life it’s to glamorize it but this author was able to capture real life possible emotions.
I played myself and walked right into a cliffhanger trap.
Overall for me the story was mid. Well, the writing, the story would’ve been better if it was not being “told” to me. I really appreciate feeling like I’m immersed in the story. So that POV is very important.
I loved how Divine was Ray Charles to the BS for the most part. Although reading this character had me thinking of one of the Tubi actresses. Poor acting skills, but body. Knowwhatimean?!
Actually that’s what this reminded me of. A Tubi movie.
Bacarai or whatever his name was…🗣️SIR!
He let those 3 broads gas his head up and think someone wants to play 4th member to his band. No thank you! Glad she knew her worth.
Now all tho this was mid. I want to find out what happens next. How long do I have to wait?!
Divine finally got that man straight at the end because he was playing in her face about when she was hanging out with Stasi because boy you got three girlfriends. Plus those women only really with her because of the lifestyle. I feel like they have live for him and just want anything he gives them. I just know in the next book she is going to go back but I hope Divine give him hell and boss all the way up like she has been doing lol.. overall good read and I was entertained.
I was locked in the entire book. Divine came into Bacarri’s life and fucked the game up. Bacarri was used to being able to do whatever he wanted but Divine and Dulce stepped on the scene and threw a wrench in his plans. I love me a good step daddy.
The book could’ve been cleaned up a little with grammar and spelling.
First of all.. as a NOLA Gworl, whewwww... I loved this so much! This NTMA has a new fan fa life! Babbbyyyy I am a Divine fan, cuz my gurl ain't da one! I love so many things about her strength, courage, and energy. I see so much of me in her. On to book 2! 💜💚💛
I LOVED this story, I gave it 3 stars because the writing was not good, lots of typos, grammar & punctuation errors.
BUT Divine is just that girlllllll!!! I had a good time being in the world of PPE 💕 I really like Bacarri but that poly bs irritated me b/c be fr! I’m glad Bacarri stood on some type of business at the end b/c she was definitely embarrassing herself
I was yelling at Divine half the book because she going out sad. She knew the deal and still entertained Bacarri even let him hit raw from jump. He goes home to three women. Dafuq.
Bacarri definitely got in his feeling and started switching up. Wanting her to not dance, jelly if he thought she was with other dudes, never mind he has one, two three girlfriends.
The situation so messy at the point and Dulce super attached. The grandparents not being set straight is super messy. Divine coming to her senses but how long will that last. Bacarri throwing the keys on the floor was lame. His sister coming out her face to Divine was super lame.
Ugh! Cion Lee done left me with a cliffhanger 😩 When is book 2 dropping because… I need more. I need to know what happens next with Bacari and Divine and Dulce.
I actually like that this story is toned down in the toxic and doing the most level of drama that this author’s earlier books encompassed, but still had a healthy level of angst/drama to keep the story juicy/entertaining. I, personally, do not care for the corny Hallmark movie type of romance tropes as they come off super predictable and boring to me.
This story is about more than a man having his cake and eating it too by way of his polyamorous relationship. It’s also a story of forgiveness, pushing forward through adversity, and knowing your value and worth and standing on it. Even though Bacari is living a lifestyle I don’t agree with, I respect him doing what makes him happy me always being upfront and honest with everyone involved. But Divine is showing him what a woman who knows her worth is not willing to accept. He met his match with this one. Now I must wait to see what happens next. 😩
This book had me hooked since the beginning! Definitely a page turner.
Divine is trying to get her life together and raise her newborn after experiencing betrayal from the people who were supposed to care about her. A job interview and unexpected encounter ends up changing her life.
I like divine as an FMC. She went through so much but never gave up. I like how she was very selective with who she allowed in her life because there were plenty of snakes around her .
I wasn’t even supposed to love Bacarri the way I do but I do. That man is so alluring! I can see why he has 3 girlfriends. Divine could only be strong for but so long with him. I needed my girl to stand up but Bacarri was VERY convincing.
Bacarri and Divine’s chemistry was off the charts. I love how he loved on Dulce. His bond with her was cute .
Those girls at the club were so jealous. Bacarri’s 3 birds were just silly for even accepting that kind of relationship. Amira is just so dirty.
There were a good bit of errors in this book but aside from that this book was so messy and so good!
Know what is going to happen, even though you actively avoid reading the synopsis. This isn't rhe story you think it is and these characters are nothing like you assume they will be, in the best way. I'm still upset because I genuinely enjoy both Baccari and Divine and I just knew I was going to dislike him. Now here I am, taking my butt to book 2 because I am invested.
I gave this one five stars but if you're an English major or have a side/main gig as an editor, you may not. There were a few typos but the book is still very coherent and they took nothing away from the story. If proofreading is your life work. You may have a differing opinion. If enjoying a great story line and we'll rounded characters is your reason for reading, pick this one up.
This was a ride, I went in blind and I was not disappointed. I cackled a lot! Bacarri is in a poly relationship with 3 women and has been content until in walks Divine. I enjoyed Divine’s character so much and her grind to give her newborn Dulce the life she deserves. Bacarri got a taste of some medicine he doesn’t like… he is a man that normally gets what he wants but Divine was the match for him to change all of that! She had Bacarri out of pocket on more than one occasion and I was here for it.
But now I have to wait until part 2 to see what happens between these two but I really think that will be together eventually no matter how you try to run from the feelings you can not he is going to eventually give up the other three but it will be drama frfr because Marlena, Kelly, and the other one there not going to give up easily
But in the end believe there gonna be together and raise baby Dulce together I can even seeing them married
Bacarri & Divine situation is a page turner I'm completely tuned in. Bacarri polygamous unhealthy appetite is never full, he wants Divine to follow suite and fall in line. MS Divine had a rough bumpy past with her baby daddy, now that she's back on her feet she is finish with the unnecessary drama. I'm here for it can't wait to read part two.
This book has me all over the place. I love that Cion tackled a topic that I haven't read about before and is doing a great job with it. What a tangled mess that Bacarri and Divine are in. Of course I'm rooting for them. Cion did an excellent job of building their relationship and navigating each of their feelings as they figure out their situationship. I can't wait to see how things end.
Wasn't expecting to like this so much because idfw any stories with poly couples. Honestly, Divine's perspective was the exact same as mine had I been in her shoes.
When you want something but you also don't wanna play yourself by admitting it. To share your man with somebody is not an easy feat.
This book reminded me of what I've always told myself subconsciously. I can love somebody but I love myself more than to accept anything less than 100% effort.
Becarri needs a wake up call frfr. How are you expecting her to be apart of your pack of dummies when she told you no. He got a huge bag of audacity. Devine should have been pulled away before she caught feelings. That’s all I’m going to say but please don’t have us wait for part 2 long.
I dnt even understand why I read this knowing I NEED part two ASAP!! Divine giving B a run for his money and he has the nerve to feel some type of way. I hope they really can get on the same page for the baby and I’m pretty sure her butt gon be pregnant soon. Plz hurry up with part two🤞🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I need Divine to stand on business! Yes, she knew Bacardi situation beforehand but when he was willing to admit they both allowed things to get more serious than intended, he still was refusing to let go of his pre-existing situations. Can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.
Man what can I say this was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a while this book was incredible the characters and chemistry is outstanding and to think of all those characters and the stories that came with them was amazing the story in it self was brilliant I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Girrlllaaa! This book left me with my mouth on the floor . My girl divine showed out at the end and demanded her respect. She meant was she said and homeboy need to tie up his loose ends if he wanna be a family with divine and dulce. Can’t wait for pt. 2
Whyyyyyyy did I do this to myself? I knew it was a series and I knew I was gonna want to read more!!!! Im so mad I love Divine though really really do! I love the cameos as well! Great start and I will br stalking your page until the next one drops!
