Keeping the Secret 2
Must meeting the love of Sebastian’s life be a death sentence?
That’s the revenge Mathew Jenson plans for him.
Matt can no longer attend school or play basketball after being set-up by Sebastian, and arrested for selling drugs. What is there left for him to do to prove his worth, but try to enter the drug-selling game full-time? He’ll need help and convinces himself it should come from no one other than Kimmi, the girl who told the secret that got him busted in the first place.
Practically at gunpoint, he forces Kimmi to ride along while he makes drug stops and hand sales.
But Kimmi doesn’t go easily, considering she has problems to solve of her own. She tries everything in her power to keep her mother’s new, live-in boyfriend, Jerome, from creeping into her bedroom at night and having his way with her. He feels entitled since he gives money to help pay the household bills.
To earn the cash Jerome donates, in hopes that her mother will kick him out once she realizes they can make it on their own, sexy, curvaceous, 17 year-old Kimmi, places an escort ad online and risks rape and losing her life more than once. In between trying to fight off the sexual advances of her mother’s boyfriend, and riding the hot blocks of Chicago’s South Side with an aspiring, big-time drug dealer, Kimmi discovers the most dangerous thing she’s ever done, is try to stay alive.

RM has done it again! KTS 2 is a must read. RM kept me hooked on this book. After finishing KTS (if you haven't read one, you won't be "lost". However, I recommend you read it because it's just as good!) I delved right into this one and couldn't put it down. I just had to find out what was going to happen next. Secrets always have a way of coming out. RM did a wonderful job of carrying out the stories of Matt, Ebban, Sebastian, Lauren, and Kimmi. Some sequels don't do a good job of continuing the storyline(s). This one did. I was very pleased!

The book, Keeping the Secret 2 by RM Johnson, continues were Keeping the Secret left off. The focus is revenge and survival. The storyline is excellently written and the characters are well developed. The chemistry between Matt and Kimmi is great. I thought Matt would finally let go of the past; however, proves it to be farther away from truth. My favorite scene is Kimmi seeking advice that leads her to meet Succulent. The storyline written for Sebastian and Roshawn is superb, unpredictable and will leave you on a cliff-hanger. I continue to be impressed with the author’s writing. This book is highly recommended. I suggest reading book one first. This is a Five Star read. Kudos RM Johnson!!!! I am looking forward to reading book three!

It dragged a little too much. And the ending I'm guessing there's going to be a part 3

Very good book but the ending leaves you hanging. I have so many unanswered questions. I was hoping to have closure but didn't.
