Rate this book
In the wealthy world of New Orleans elite, Janiya Alexander is the baby of a family with high standards and lofty expectations. Her innocence is every man's weakness, especially her father King’s. Traumatized by a past she struggles to overcome, Janiya seeks solace in self-medication while striving to meet her parents' high expectations. Desperate for a break, she plans a daring weekend getaway with her best friend Shakira, unaware that this trip will turn her life upside down.

Bear, a man hardened by the streets of Haiti and the violence of America’s most notorious gun ring, has just finished a five-year prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. Love was never on his radar—his focus was freedom and survival. But when he encounters Janiya, a rare and complicated woman, his carefully laid plans begin to unravel.

As their worlds collide in an unorthodox arrangement, Bear's icy exterior starts to melt under Janiya's warmth. But secrets lurk in the shadows, threatening to shatter their fragile bond. Can Janiya maintain her identity amidst Bear’s chaotic life, or will the weight of uncovered truths pull them apart?

Let's take a trip down to New Orleans with Miss Jazzie, the African American hood romance author who brought you "A New Orleans Virgin & A Hood Millionaire." Now she's bringing you an unputdownable second chance love story filled with emotions, love, and betrayal. Through Bear and Janiya’s eyes, experience a love story where secrets are revealed, emotions run high, and every bond is tested. Will their love survive the ultimate test, or will the past destroy their chance at happiness?

SHE'S FKIN BACCCKKK!!!!

Miss Jazzie is back and she ain't holding no punches. I lovvveddd it and loved it even more that my bae Magnolia have stepped in to regulate. Hunnnyy he just came and spilled all the tea, matter of fact he took the pot and flipped that bi¶ch over. Max knew he was different than his brothers but I bet he'd have never guessed that was why. I kinda feel bad for Bear and even though I know what he did to Janiyah was heinous my bae didn't have to put him on front street like that. Sundai should have gotten somebody else to do it. Ion know how to feel about Dhezy and Khyree just yet but I know I don't like Lotus. My heart really broke for Janiyah tho because her whole existence is a lie. At least she has the best big brother anyone could ask for.💌💌

Miss Jazzie you did not come to play…..🔥🔥🔥

Miss Jazzie when I say I am glad all is well with you and that you are back I mean from the bottom of my heart because baby you left no crumbs in this book. I am always happy when my boy show up and when he did he dropped a hella bombs. Janiya has been through so much and things are only getting started but with the type of bloodline she comes from she is definitely going to rise from the ashes and show them what she is made of. Maverick was pushed into doing something years ago that is now coming back to haunt him full force and hopefully his new found love can come back from it but I don’t doubt there will be obstacles he will have to overcome to get his happy ending. I really don’t like Mylo, Dhezt, Khyree, Faith or King they all are snakes and have hidden agendas and I can’t wait until they get their karma. Brasi is a sweetheart and has had the enemy in his life for the past five years and had no idea but I must say once he cleans up the mess I hope he finds the woman that’s made for him. Maximillian and Shakira are couples goals right now and it stays that way between with no added drama. I can’t wait until part 2 drops because it’s about to be a movie!!!

Nah Jazzie that was some real truth, baby I wasn’t inspecting that. Baby I can’t wait for part 2, I hope we don’t have a long wait. I’m glad you brought Magnolia out of retirement. Not one time did I think you was talking about his sister Jaynia.

Well I Be

This is the first I’ve read from this author and when I say I rock with it, I mean just that! This here was 🔥🔥

First and got most despite the horrible situation and what had happened I rock with Bear and definitely at this moment rock with the grandmother Blizzy! She’s a force to reckon with!

As for Janiya, I honestly feel bad for her. She’s so lost and now more confused as she was before. Honestly hope she comes back from what was just laid out on the table. As much as everyone tried to protect her, they only made it all worst!

Now who we need to worry about is the loose cannon MAX. He just got it with a boom he was not expecting!

That mother though, Faith she a HOT MESS. How many kids does she have? Her kids are surfacing slow and I can’t wait until it all crumbs in her face. Now I see why she just keeps her mouth closed and agreed with her husband because her secrets are DEEP!

Honestly can’t wait for Part 2 because I need to know it ALL.

Nice very nice

This series is gonna be lit. Part 2 needs to hurry up and come out. I hate all of my babies got put in this predicament. Bear didn't know, but Mylo and King gotta go cause they really f**ked up their kids' lives. I hope babygirl spare bear cause he was doing what he was ordered, and he was having nightmares from it, too. U did good on yet another book and I'm looking forward to reading more them. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and while eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

Wow wow wow

You did your big one this time Miss Jazzie! No holds barred! It's crazy how the parents always want to keep the kids in the dark of all of their discretions! Magnolia didn't come to play no games with none of them about his fam! So ready to see what the outcome is going to be in the next installment!
I think Janiya should try her best to forgive Maverick (Bear) because they seem good for each other and Mylo was the one who ordered the kidnapping because of her so called father King.

Dysfunctional

This story is full of dysfunctional characters. From the parents to the children. The characters are well developed, some likeable, and some snakes. I can't wait for book two, cause there seem to be more secrets that need to come to light.

Man this is hands down one of the best books I have read this year. Jazzie isn't playing any games. I like Mad Max but BEAR is MY man. It's so many secrets and twists I can't wait to see what happens next. I highly highly recommend this book (JC)

Girl I thought this book was going to follow only Bear and Janiya’s love story and only have their point-of-views. If I’d known it would be more than that, I wouldn’t have read this book. And I only finished it because random ass twists happened and I wanted answers. I won’t be reading the rest of the series though.

A lot of the conversations don’t flow naturally, characters repeat themselves or other characters quite a bit, the fourth wall is broken by some characters, and song lyrics are throughout this book. I did A LOT of skimming and side eyeing after a while. Also, the synopsis talks about Bear and Janiya, and I don’t even think they’re the most interesting couple. When I was actually reading this book, I found myself wanting to know more about Max and Shakyra.

Side note: I think Shakyra’s name was originally Fallon because in one of Max’s chapters, he calls her Fallon. I was confused af and kept rereading to see if I missed something. But who knows? That could’ve been a slip up and Fallon is someone who will be revealed later in the series 🤷🏾‍♀️ Either way, I’m not reading the other books to find out.

Miss MF Jazzie! Babyyy, you wrote the hell out of this book! Lord have all the mercy because when the skeletons started dropping out of the closet, my mouth was hung TF open! From jump, I knew it was gone be ish when Mylo all but traded Janiya to Bear. Sundai really doing some foul things like she don't know what these brothers capable of. Even if she didn't think so much on Brasi, if no one else, she should know Max is all about that life! Now she really won't live to tell the tale! Bear done had the nookie and hell broke loose but something tells me the end result won't be so bad! Oh, but I have a feeling big brother gone push the issue and HARD! I really want some insight into Lotus's family. I'm not sure if I missed it other than they are crooks and scammers. I don't know what Dhezi is holding over her head and I can't wait until it comes out! Max done let his soft side out with Shakyra but let it not be mistaken, he stands on business ALWAYS and after this dinner, who knows what will happen! Whenever Magnolia has to step in, we know it's gonna be some slowing singing and flower bringing. Come on with Part 2 because whewwwwwww! The teapot just went on the stove and people getting burned!

Daaaaamn

Janiya sure was sheltered from the life that Khyree and Dhezi were so accustomed to. Everyone hiding secrets and it’s crazy. Lotus is poison just like her name and now I see why. I wonder when Lotus gonna bring her son into the fold so he can meet his father. I see why Bear had no heart until he met Janiya and why Mad Max and Brasi are exactly how they are. Shakyra has been through the wringer dealing with her mom and her problem and I’m glad she’s finally a lil happier. Mylo and King need to settle their differences if they can and King needs to cough up that bread he owes. It’s his fault Janiya was sold to the highest bidder so to speak anyway. Mad Max and Shakyra fit with one another perfectly. I’m still mad at the decision he and come to find she’s not even who they say she is to them. I love Blizzy bc she’s definitely the realest out of everyone. This was a great part one and I can’t wait for the next installment to drop bc man I’m ready. Faith and Harmony got some explaining to do bc how they just living their lives like nothing happened or changed all those years ago? I’m so glad you bought Magnolia and Zenobia back. You never disappoint Miss Jazzie you have done it again 😊

OMGGG

He Who Findeth a Hood Virgin is an absolute page-turner! This book flawlessly combines drama, romance, and life lessons with an urban twist that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. The characters are so real and raw, you can’t help but get invested in their lives and decisions.

The story’s pacing is perfect, with twists that had me gasping out loud and a plot that kept me flipping pages late into the night. The author does an amazing job of weaving themes of love, loyalty, and resilience while keeping it authentic and relatable.

This book isn’t just a story; it’s an experience. If you love gripping urban fiction with heart and substance, He Who Findeth a Hood Virgin is a must-read!

I almost DNF’d!

First off, my nerves were shot with including song lyrics every other page. That was annoying, BUT the storyline intrigued me so I held on (I just skip the mess). 🙄

Janiya is the baby of the Alexander family and is untouchable. King, her father watches her like a hawk. Never letting her out of his sight. Especially after a very traumatic kidnapping happened when she was 16.

When she finds herself falling for the very man who mutilated her body, what does she do?

Truces are broken, family secrets spill out, deception exposed but love is in the midst. Whew chile! Headed for book 2 right freaking now!

When a Haitian family and a family from New Orleans have ties, what do you get? Nothing but lies, deceit, co-mingling with siblings and death. I can’t believe all the treacherous things going on in this one story.
I found it hard to comprehend how you can offer up your daughter, to pay a debt you owed. But even that’s not the truth.
It took a strong family friend to come in and put everything out in the open. So many skeletons fell out those closets, it isn’t funny.
I can’t wait for KARMA to go after those parents and reeks havoc!!!

THIS IS CRAZY!!!

King and Mylo were boys like brothers until Mylo messed it up. Boy when I say those Haitian sons Maverick, Brasi and Max are all grown up. There father King banned Mylo and his family son Dhezi, daughters Kamryn and Janiyah out of New Orleans and they moved to ATL. When Janyiah decides to go back to the NOLA to see her BFF Shakira all hell breaks loose. Fathers are loosing the battle, docile women, Sons joining together but a trip to Vegas all hell is getting ready to break loose and OMG…IT’S BAD!!

Good story but need work.....

I love the story but character development was off. The characters were one way one chapter then different the next. Then there were times a thought was written down but not completed. At times I would ask why say that here when you said something different a couple of paragraphs ago. I believe the book need more development. Like I said before I loved the story just hard to follow. I did finish the first book. If the second book is the same I will not finish the book.

A great read

This book is definitely a page turner, so many secrets within king and Mylo is a devil in their family.Janiyah Discover Reason why she has so many headaches and Anxiety nightmares during his sleep. She knows how so wasn’t sitting right unless she find out the truth about who is really hurt her she given her Sacred sound, and slept with her enemy. Bear “This guy magnolia is, he’s spilling all the beans and he is Janaya’s brother The question is who is her real mother .. Bear knew karma was around the corner.

great book

Man when I tell you this book from beginning to end it really is. Janiyah was definitely hidden from all of her families dealings with anything including the truce with the other family. The Haitian Brothers were all crazy. Brasi wasn’t as bad as his brothers, but he definitely could be. Madmax is exactly how his nickname sounds and just as mean as he can be most of the time. Bear alone made me mad this whole book. I can’t wait for part 2.
