Miss Talena! You have done it again, giving us another fire ass novella to enjoy! First things first, Ro got me wanting to find a bad boy in my next life, ok? 😂 It is that serious! Damn, the BDE that was wafting from his entire being, was intoxicating! Whew! 🔥
Ma'am, how do you draw so many emotions out of me in less than 80 pages huh? 👀 I felt the tension between Bella and Ro when she came to the house, and I was feeling a way; and it ain't even my relationship! 😂 Then to find out the real, that Ro was holding her down, while she was trying to find a way to talk to her punk ass uncle! No wonder he was ignoring her. 🤬 But Bella knew better than that. She was finally ready to love her boo out loud. Then here comes grimy Uncle Grant, and his hating ass! That's alright tho, cause Ro can handle that light weight. And did! 😂 Really enjoyed this one and hope to see these two again soon. Great job!

B + Ro together forever, even when it hurts!
Another hit!
Talena can write some action. I love that she doesn’t just say what the men do for a living. She gives us scenes of them live and in action doing gangsta-ish!
The book started rocky! I was like I know Talena not about to take us through heartbreak in the beginning lol
Pharaoh is everything you want in a partner. He wants to love you out loud and I love that!
Bella loves Pharoah but is hesitant to love him out loud because of her manipulative uncle.
But when you in love with a hitter, you never have a problem they can't handle!

This was a good palette cleanser story, full of spice and action. I loved the vulnerability of Pharaoh yet he also had a ruggedness to him that was bout that life. Now hear me out, Bella made me mad a few times, miss mama was doing too much knowing this man was giving her his all. Overall, short and sweet. Loved every minute.

Loved it
Loved this short story. Ro was perfect honestly. Bella was about to lose her man, but I'm glad she stepped up because who doesn't want to be loved out loud. Should have taken the uncle out, but to keep a promise I guess I will accept that outcome as well.

Love is in the air
Bella is a celebrity singer and Pharaoh was a street nigga. They lived two different lives but that eventually didn’t stop them from loving each other and giving each other that unconditional love both of them deserved. Bella and Pharaoh’s love me had me sitting here reading with butterflies in my stomach. I just loved how Pharaoh showed up and out for his Bella. When it came to Bella’s fine ass he was head over hills for this woman. Their relationship had their ups and downs just like any relationship but it’s how they overcame their difficulties that had me in love with them. Pharaoh was standing on big business about Bella. Nobody compared to Bella and he didn’t have eyes for no one else but Bella. I need me a Pharaoh that’s going to love me how he loved his wife.

Just perfectionnnnnn!
Flip the script then girl ain’t no man begging in this book it’s Bella! Ro was not playing with her, he meant big business. Loved the two of them together.
My little rant- I literally can’t stand when people help you and they throw it back in your face. Like BFFR!! Like you could’ve kept it if you was just gone screw me over in the end. Like I really want to fight right then and there.
Fav Part🤎: Ro telling Bella to stand on business bout me and her doing itttttt!

NEVER MISSES.
Talena's pen game is amazing. This short and sweet story, takes us on a journey with Pharaoh and Bella, 2 people deep in love, but face obstacles that has Pharaoh questioning is it worth it. You get to witness the depths of what real love will make you capable of ... it was a really good read. I would love to see a "prequel" with these two (hint, hint)

Short story goodness!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
The story was short sweet and spicy but had a hint of dark romance. Be careful of triggers before going into the story. The story was well written especially since it was really short and I really enjoyed the characters.
I would recommend as a quick palate cleanser read! 💖

Pharaoh (Ro) and Bella were in love for years but had to keep it hidden. When Ro no longer wants to keep their love and marriage quiet, Bella is forced to make a decision. Ro is Bella's protector. When she is threatened Ro handles the issue. This was another great read by Talena. I loved Ro and Bella.

4/5
- Bella and Pharaoh lived two different lives but loved each other unconditionally. Bella being a singer, with everything to lose and Pharaoh a street runner who’d put everything on the line for the one he loved. When I tell you that man showed up and stood on business behind Bella — there was no problem he wouldn’t handle to see her happy.

This novellete was immediately placed us in between Bella and Ro. The tension and the love had us pulling for them instantly. As the obstacles were revealed we had no choice but to anticipate a solution. Great read!

We have to live life for ourselves no matter who stepped up to raise us we didn’t asked. Grateful shouldn’t be misconceived as a life sentence. Loving who we choose no matter what others think is our decision.

captivating love story
This story gripped my attention from the beginning and held on. They weren’t perfect, but Pharaoh would do anything for Bella, and I loved that! We all need a hitter like him on our team. This was a very good read.

Sweet
This was a cute short story. Her uncle was trash and I bet he killed her parents. I am just happy that her husband was about that life.

Oh the way these two were woven together. Bella & Pharaoh were like the perfect Yin Yang. She’s in the spot light, he prefers to hide in plain sight.
I loved them. Ms Talena you know how to jump in and get straight to the good stuff! ❤️🫶🏾🥰😍
