Genesis: A Second Chance Love Story
The only person that has ever loved Genesis ‘Krude’ DeCorte more than his family was Megan James. Contrary to everyone else’s efforts, the curvy beauty was semi-successful at calming the jokester for longer than a couple of days.
As their relationship grew, Megan felt that she was maturing alone. Desperate for him to wake up, Megan did the unthinkable and broke up with Krude. The problem was, Krude didn’t break up with her. He gave her some time and space, but that time was up. Determined to prove they belonged together, Krude went on a mission to reclaim his family.
He’s pulling no punches, especially since they have a baby shower being thrown in their honor.

I love a man that can make me laugh so I’ve been falling in love with Krude since the moment I meet him in Trenches. So I am over the moon that Author Aubry J. penned this story. I know some side characters are meant to be just that but I loved every moment of this story. I think good writing and storytelling is a talent and a skill but being about to right this level of humor is a gift! And I loved what Megan represented because sometimes it’s so hard to let someone love us, we’re so used to fighting that we don’t realize when we can stop because we are safe. For as funny as it was it was also beautiful and I love the strong FMCS Aubry gives us, the kind of sneak up on you. But that ending, let us pray!!

Genesis is a damn fool!!! Talk about unhinged in the best craziest way possible. He had a good heart and definitely loved him some Megan. I liked his family too. Gotta love a family that be down for some good shenanigans. Megan loved him too. Trying to play hard. Girl stop it lol. This was definitely a fun entertaining read that kept my attention.

K.M.B. with that ending!
You know that ending was real aggie. And for that, I'm really miffed. Anyway, Genesis was extremely childish and very funny. I'm certain I wouldn't have been able to deal with his foolishness. I had a time keeping up with all the characters and biblical names. Overall, I liked the story. It was a decent read.

Gotta love Genesis’ crazy ass! Yes, he was goofy, and did outlandish things to get on everyone’s nerves, but he had a heart of gold. He loved his family, and Megan, period. Not much mattered to him beyond that.
Now Miss Megan, you knew what you were getting into with Genesis when you met him three years ago. You entertained him, laughed with him, fell in love with him, now you want to change him? For what? Because YOU don’t feel he is mature enough??? Ma’am, go have several seats, cause ain’t nothing wrong with this man! Yes, he may eat cereal out of a pot, but he is a DeCorte' and will protect you with his life. She really made me angry, as SHE was the one with all the childish behavior! 😤🤬
I loved how the DeCorte' family and friends indulged in Genesis’ crazy antics, as he tried to get his girl back. Sasha with that over-the-top baby shower tickled the hell outta me. Glad Genesis got his girl, but not sure that she deserved him after all that foolishness. 👀

If nothing else, Genesis is hilarious.
This was my first book by this author, but certainly not my last.

To be loved by a Krude is the goal 😂
Baby this story did not disappoint! I smiled and laughed from the begging to the end! We already know he is a whole fool 🤣
What I loved most was seeing the difference between his personalities. Genesis is a loving man, mature, family man who loves his baby down. He stands on business behind her and her needs before she even knows it. But baby Krude is a whole fool out here in the streets! 😂 Krude is going to war behind Megan 365/7/24 with a smile. What makes this a great story is that you get to see a side of Krude that we don’t typically get to see in the backstory of the other books and we get to see just how deep his love run for Megan. I loved damn there every scene and the peak a book moments for the new stories that will come from this hilarious family group! Read it, you would not be disappointed

funny
Krude was off the chain. I was cracking up. I get why Megan broke up with him but it felt like she broke up with him just because. She still wanted to be with him and didn’t want him anyone else. And her not saying anything was kinda annoying. Comparison is the thief of joy.
I love that the author put character visuals in the beginning even though I imagine some people like to visualize the characters themselves. There were a lot of characters for such a short story. There were parts that were definitely repetitive.

That man got on my nerves too much
June 1, 2025
Krude is a d*mn fool but kept me laughing with his shenanigans. I won’t lie, if I came home to my man eating cereal out of a pot in a spiderman costume I would’ve walked out just like she did cause ain’t no way! However as childish as he is, he loved the hell outa Megan and let her know it all the time, reminding her they were meant to be.

Hunni,
What you had at the end, you should have led with that. The story was ok. It could have been better. I did like Krude. Megan irked me. I like the whole crew.

This book had me in stitches.

This should have been woven into another story. The story of i don’t know…….. Cross and Nine??????
It was cute and fun, Krude is always a good time. Megan was the childish one complaining about a man who did nothing but love her.
Anywho…..
And if Ms. Aubry J ……Madea better have a flesh wound that she is going to go to the hospital to get stitches and goes home.

Krude was a mess in a half but you gotta love him! It was refreshing to read a story where no cheating was involved. He loved Megan down with his overly dramatic shenanigans. I love the DeCorte family, the bickering and fussing at Krude all the time but they always held him down. Can’t help but want to be apart of a family like that.
March 24, 2024
Funny isn’t the word I’d used to describe Krude. I think childish and theatrical are better descriptors although I did laugh at a few of his antics. Krude played a little too much for me. Especially when it came to Judge and Ex.
I could definitely understand why Megan decided to break up with Krude. However, after a while, I thought Megan was being too stubborn and was happy Nyla got her together.
Since I didn’t read the other books that are in this series, I was hella confused about everyone’s relationship dynamic. (I didn’t find out it was a part of a series until I read the author’s note.) There’s a few paragraphs stating who’s related to who and who’s a friend but tbh there were so many names that I couldn’t be bothered with keeping everything straight.
Also, I wasn’t really invested in Krude and Megan’s relationship and this book wasn’t really written to drag me into it. (I assume reading the other books would’ve helped.) My first reaction to Krude’s attempts to get back with Megan was to either cringe or say “wtf?!” But then I’d think “this must be what their relationship is always like” so I let it ride.

this was an okay read, definitely not the BEST but okay! 🥲
definitely a sort of lighthearted quick & easy read. if you wanna read a book where you laugh at some of the antics that occur bc they’re so OUT THERE, this is what you’re looking for.
krude was a little funny, he’s definitely one of those people who play from morning to night 😂. i just didn’t like the scene where he sold megan’s clothes, baby i’d be pisseddd.
also there were soooo many characters in this book. i know this book is a short story connected to others, so just be aware reading this that if you aren’t familiar with the authors other books then the characters are gonna be a lot to remember.
however i did like the family scenes where you could just tell everyone had genuine love for eachother 🩷.
but as for the ending?? why did it have to end like that?? i didn’t like that at all 😩😭.

I loved this book!!! Genese is a damn fool no other way to describe him. I loved the writing style and the way we are able to see more of the family. God bless Megan for putting up with his ass backward ways. The fool loves hard is all that there is too it and he wants to make sure that his love in understood. I read pieces of me 1st and could wait to get to his book. Still need to read about the rest of this family because baby they are all over the place but crazy about and for each other. Krude is a jokester and the man pulled out all of the stops to make sure he got his women back and didn’t care who or what anyone had to say but he would be damned if they family didn’t help. When I say this book was hilariously funny and a good time!!! The DeCorte family has me wanting to be a fly on the wall and invited to all of the family fictions. Just know you will have a good time and in the safest place ever being with all of them. All in all this really is a second change romance that both parties love each other hard and just want the best for their relationship and growing family.

OMG!!
Whew, where do I start? Genesis “Krude” is definitely one of my favorite reads. Now, Megan liked to label him immature but I think they make the perfect couple. She’s the ying to his yang. And throughout the book, he got to know him more and understood him more. Megan honestly made me mad a bit because it wasn’t always Krude but her too. Like for instance she constantly compared him to his cousin and questioned how would the cousin handled certain situations and the best friend had to remind her, Krude and Memphis are not the same. She spent so much time looking at his flaws until she didn’t see she had the perfect man for her all the time. I’m glad they got their acts together, because I’m afraid that Krude was about ready to show his serious side of she kept playing with him. Oh, and I absolutely love the family vibe between them all. How all his cousins has his back no matter if the end results is jail.

Krude
Krude has been one of the most anticipated characters in Aubry’s bookverse simply because of how much of a fool he is. Genesis AKA Krude is the jokester of the family. Like he’s the one you can count on to make you laugh & to hardly ever be serious but don’t get things twisted when it’s time for him to handle business he can & will. If you’ve read Aubry’s books then you know this book is basically Krude & Megan’s story of getting back together & having the anticipated baby shower. Let me tell you a time was had during this book & Krude is as unhinged as his family & friends. I’m not even going to discuss the cliffhanger Aubry left us on because it’s typical Aubry behavior 🙄😂

If you're looking for a very short and funny read, this is the one! Genesis Decorte is a PLUM fool, and his girlfriend Megan was so fed up with his childish antics. She called their relationship off, before finding out she was pregnant. Despite his childish ways he showed up for Megan anytime she needed him, and he wasn't letting her get away. 🫶🏾 He took care of her in every way possible. In my opinion, Megan was tripping. Who doesn't want a man who makes them laugh and take care of all their desires.
My favorite part of this book is when Genesis gathered all his cousins (who are all named from Biblical Characters, btw 😂) and performs “One Wish" outside her job in front of MIXED company. They had music, a water hose, and a strobe light. They were all arrested. KML!!!

This man probably needs strong medication.. possibly a straight jacket but I’m obsessed with him! Krude and his antics are insane, also insanely hilarious! He just wanted to live Megan and I’m on his side, she wasn’t letting him lol. No spoilers but the job, the garage sale, the baby shower, this man had zero chill whatsoever! Beyond his antics he really did love Megan. I mean dropped any and everything to come when she called even when she was trying to play him to the left. Everything she actually said she wanted, he gave it. I loved that for them!
Nyla is a real one! She had no problem at all gathering up her friend and letting her know she was trippin! I love the whole DeCorte family and cannot wait to read Fire and Lynx!!
