Soul Ties

This book was so fye!!! I loved everything about it. The storyline was on point and kept you on the edge of your seat. Murda and Juvie are baes and Karlie and YaYa are WCE. It's like it was love at first sight when Keylan first laid eyes on Karlie. Their chemistry is off the charts. Karlie was celibate but Keylan made her want to risk it all and be his spine, fk a backbone. Now Tiana needs to get the picture and move around but we all know how b$tches be hardheaded. Juvie was clowning his brother for how he was with Karlie but he was ready to empty his pockets when her first met YaYa. I think Yaya and Juvie will be good for each other but with her dog azz ex Keem being grimy catching him slipping and Juvie smash buddy Bri announced her pregnancy ion know how their future looking. What I do know is that K-Murda gonna be on one when he find out somebody done snatched up his brother. 💛💛

Can't wait to find out what happens next..on too book two.📚❤🔥

Good one

Crazy what an ending. I hope that ain't Keem when he got a whole family. That Bri gets on my nerves I just really hope she's not pregnant for real or the baby is not Juvies. I love Keylan and Karli together but I just don't know if I would've been willing to take that charge for him when they pulled him over, just lucky it worked out in their favor. I think Tiana got something up her sleeve, I just wonder what it is. I enjoyed this read. I'm about to get into part 2

Explosive Read

Whew!!!!!!!! That was a fabulous book. It was a real page turner. Ya-Ya & Keem was a messy situation!!! Oh my goodness, her heart was broken and he did not seem like he cared one way or another. Y girl Karli was celibate because she was waiting for her King! I think she met her King when she net Keylan. I see part 2 is gonna be fire 🔥.

Gangsta Gangsta!

Keylan saw a beautiful girl at the gas station and went out of his way to get her number. He wasted no time getting together with Karli. She was different from anyone he'd ever been with, she wanted more out of life than for a man to take care of her. He felt like she was THE one!

“If the child is younger than 5, the relationship is still alive…”
~Karli

This was a cute quick read that sucks you right into the drama from the very beginning. I love a good hood love story, and Bonnie came with the heat!

Karli is funny as heck, and had come backs for days. What you wasn’t about to do is come for her when she hadn’t sent for you. Karli always had time for the shenanigans, and went for the jugular taking no mercy on anyone.

I liked her and Keylan’s situationship. He was in these streets heavy, but a man that knows when he’s found a good thing will make the necessary moves to keep it safe. They were a cute almost couple.

Now, that darn Keem can kick rocks. Dirty feet azz ninja.

Snake

I know them 2 women are snakes and Murda is going to cut their heads off. Messing with his brother just signed his death certificate. A woman scorned is a woman that will do anything to take you for everything you got.

Trenches

I felt so sorry for YAYA. Karli was a good friend. Key and Juvie got their hands full with their ex situations. I’m interested in seeing how things play out.

Love Me A BBW

Loved this story. The match between Murda
and Karli was beautiful. The drama that comes from T and Bri is horrible. I hope YaYa gets her man.

Ok

It was written like it was the author's first book. It has a good plot. A few grammatical errors. It was a good read.

One Heart Break Can Destroy The Entire World!

Bonnie Blanco, Good read. I think Karli is a true character. She has shown what it means to come from nothing and win. YaYa is a good girl as well that has led with her heart far too long. This journey the best friends are taking is one that will strengthen their friendship which is true. Keylan and Juvie were brothers that looked out for each other. Unknowingly their lives will intertwine with Karli and YaYa and begin to see how life should and could be. Let's see if they will be able to have peace or is all trouble about to blow?🤗🤗🤗🤗
