Although this is a short story it was a good book, a page turner.
Every children wants the love of their mother. This mother in this story was something else., will have you asking how could she treat her child like that
The story line and the characters capture you from the beginning.
I recommend this book to all

This story was sad that Mary was a bitch so many twist and turns hope it's a part two. ...

Initially, this book was on it's way to being a favorite. It dropped to about 3 stars because the whole love/relationship thing escalated quickly. Maybe I missed a lapse in time but it seemed like it was only days...2 weeks at the most. What dropped the book down to 2 stars was the ending when it was revealed why Mary hated Tay. The story behind it was sooooo unrealistic. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot during the explanation. I am starting part 2 right away only because up until then, it was a pretty good book.

Wow, this left me with my mouth wide open n then it ended I know I will enjoy the sequels especially if they are anything like #1, just need a better proofreader to catch the typos, too many errors (not good).

Great quick read
Boy oh boy Shauntay's mom Mary was a piece of work, the things she said and did to Tay was straight child abuse. I wish Shauntay left when she turned 18 instead of trying to build a relationship with the woman who is supposed to be her mother. Can't wait to start book 2

Interesting
This book kept me interested but the number of grammatical errors was extremely distracting. It was hard not to notice that "tears running down my face" was on almost every page and sometimes twice on the same page. That should have probably been the title. Not once did anyone "cry!" Very elementary writing. Don't think I'll read this author again.

Who is the mother, in Her Mother's Love?
WOW,,,,I initially thought my real response to this book was going to be that it was a slow but steady and easy read. Then all of a sudden I began realizing the plot was turning and I wasn't turning with it!!! The story line changed as did the pace and the characters I thought I had figured out weren't who I thought they were at all. Then much to my surprise the next page was for the review. I even flipped back twice to be sure I had reached 100%, I had and it ended. Excellent read, very good character development, and a cliffhanger that now has to be completed. How can I not purchased the sequel? What a clever move on Ms. Cole's part? I like her.

Nothing that poor child did, that she deserved. Mary I'd cold hearted, why would she do a thing like that. Jealousy is a beast. I guess not having the life is what made her the way she is. That hospital scene is juicy...Who is that lady, I'd her twin still alive, seems so to me. Coke on Sha Cole let me knew what's up with part two I Neff to knew who that woman is and for shuntay to wake up. Excellent read!

This is the story of Shauntau who lost her father who loved her dearly and left her with an indifferent mother.
The story was going along pretty good but then the twist came at the end with the "secret" godfather scenario along with parental issues with Tay.
Apparently it was the set-up for the sequel so I'm annoyed that the story is incomplete.

Tay was very loved by her father James. It was sad that he passed away the way he did & he really seemed to know he wasn't going to make it. I'm glad left everything to his daughter. Mary is just plan crazy.. How can a woman be so jealous of her daughter?

good read
I kept trying to put this book down thinking that I certainly didn't wish to read another story of abuse; but the suspense kept me turning pages and wow! The ultimate cliff hanger emerged.

Good read
I chose this rating because the book was a good read but started to become predictable as the book went in. There were twist and turns. What I didn't like about the book was the abrupt ending. This made it seem like more of a excerpt than a novel.

I had this book on my kindle for over a year and didn't know it. This was really a great book. Everyone wants their mother's love and Tay didn't have that. I hate, I didn't read this before now. Now on to books 2,3,&4.

This book was so emotional that I wanted to jump in the pages and beat the black and white off of Mary. If you want to read a book that will have you crying then Her Mothers Love is the book.
