Now that Ivy found out the truth of how her and King met, she had to get away from him. Unfortunately, Ivy was so distraught learning of his deceit, she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings which led her straight into the arms of an unknown man.
King tried everything in his power to find Ivy but to no avail was he successful. However, it was brought to her attention that not only was she kidnapped, but that the person involved was very close to him. In a race against time, King did whatever was needed to find Ivy, but was it too late.
Noah and Kandy had become very close and decided to help one another in their drug battle. Someone from Kandy’s past will return with ill intentions for her and her daughter. Noah will do everything possible to make sure no harm came to her. Will Kandy accept the help or will she walk away from Noah to make sure her past doesn’t catch up with him.
So much going on wowwww . I can’t believe how Ivy keeps protecting some of Kings family it doesn’t make any sense at this point he needs to know . I am rooting for Noah hopefully he will get it together
The math was not mathing at all in this book. In book two, it’s revealed that Ivy had access to half a billion dollars, yet in book one she was saying things like she had to “wait until she got paid,” which made it seem like she was living paycheck to paycheck. That contradiction made absolutely no sense, especially considering she also has a rich boyfriend and comes from a wealthy family. None of it lined up.
Ivy herself was extremely soft, and so were the men around her. We’re constantly told that King is this big man in the streets, yet Ivy is repeatedly bullied and attacked with no real protection. If that’s supposed to be his woman, why does nobody fear him. His reputation never matched his actions, and nobody seemed scared of King in any situation.
I actually understood why Noah reached his breaking point with Ivy. Imagine constantly having to rescue a grown woman who never stands up for herself, never learns, and keeps putting herself in the same dangerous situations. She will always need an anchor, always need someone to save her, but then pushes people away the moment something doesn’t go her way. That gets exhausting. I would’ve been done too.
There were multiple moments of author intervention, where characters reacted to situations without any on-page evidence that they knew what was happening.
It felt like the author stepped in and made King address problems he had no way of knowing about. If he didn’t know Ivy was being bullied, there was no reason for him to suddenly threaten his cousin. The story didn’t earn that moment.
Another moment that completely took me out of the story was the spit scene. Ivy had just been spit on, it rolled down her face and onto her clothes, and somehow King kissed her and they ended up having sex without her even showering. That scene was not romantic at all. It was uncomfortable. All I could think about was the spit still on her body, and it ruined the entire moment.
The story also became very predictable. All the books follow the same formula. There’s always an ex doing something grimey but still being allowed close access, the new girlfriend walking in on it and finding out the worst way, followed by over-the-top bullying that stretches across multiple books. Ivy being naive is one thing, but allowing people to constantly beat her up and disrespect her while she stays quiet makes no sense when she’s surrounded by so-called killers. Naive does not equal spineless.
I also side-eyed the author’s note about people “really going through these things.” Nobody is going through what Ivy is going through in this story. The situations felt exaggerated and unrealistic rather than relatable.
Overall, the inconsistencies, weak character development, and illogical situations made it hard to take this story seriously. It had potential, but too many things just did not add up.
Ivy meekness and weakness started to get on my nerves. I understand she wasn't a fighter but keeping quiet about what King cousin Stephanie and his Aunt did to her. She was basically protecting them. Then King ex Stasia popped up starting shyt. Ivy should've whooped Stasia ass when she spit on her. I honestly believed Stasia dumb ass when she said she was drugged in Jamaica and didn't knowingly cheat on King when they were together. She shouldn't have allowed her two best friends to invite strange men into their room. Although she proved to King she didn't cheat. Ivy have King heart and Stasia knows that but she don't care. She's trying her best to be King woman again. Noah Sr. Is a damn disrespectful ass creep. I see why none of his children wanted to be bothered by him. Somebody is still after Ivy trying to kill the poor girl. I believe King aunt and cousin have something to do with it.
I'm not going to lie. I'm still on the fence about this read. I would give this part 2 a 3.5⭐️ also. King ex is really getting on my nerves. I understood she was set up, and I figured that, but at this point, you need to count this a s loss. I like Kandy and Noah Jr.. I just wish he hurry up to get clean. I don't know what to say about Knox and Mya because they both seemed confused about what to do, and I wonder how fid the police get the surveillance tape from the bar. King aunt needs to get handled, and I feel like Stephenie planned this kidnapping also. I'm about to see what part 3 is about.
Tina J, these folk just can catch a break. It's so much disloyalty and jealousy that shouldn't even be. I can't wait to find out why they are so jealous. Kandi is so strong Ivy hopefully will make it. King as well. Noah will be fine, Big Noah needs to sit down, the crew is gonna have to bind together or else no body will win🤗🤗🤗🤗
I did not see that cliffhanger coming. Poor Ivy has been through so much she just can’t catch a break and now her life is in serious danger and I hope that she is ok. King took a hit at the end and I can’t wait for him to set the city ablaze taking out this new threat.
Oh how you can make me want to jump in this book and just help Ivy kick some butt and I don’t even lick to be confrontational! I just want her to get some fight in her and stop letting people miss handle her, that includes Noah,King and anyone else. Stephanie is trifling along with her mom.
I really enjoy the author I've been reading her for years but I don't know when she started making female characters this dumb naive and this damn right stupid I am so over Ivy it don't make no sense how slow she is and she just let people do her any type of way I'm about skip pass her chapters I can with her
Wow I didn’t see that coming but I need to know what is going on and who is behind all of this I’m starting to think Noah Sr is behind all of this I can’t wait to see what happens next
This is getting crazier at every page turned. I need Ivy to tighten up and learn how to fight. And that daddy is the devil. I wonder do he have something to do with all this mess. And Stasia is delusional and her friends suck. I can't wait for part 3...
I fall for it every time ! ! ! I can never wait for the completed series and end up stressed ! ! ! Why they coming after King so tough ? ? ? What is Stephanie and Gloria problem ? ? ? Is Stephanie really missing ? ? ?
This is so good!!! Stephanie and the auntie need get it. I feel sorry for Kings ex girlfriend just a little. I don't know how much more I can take.....lol I can't wait for the next part.
Now you know you have read a bum ass book of it only took a few hours. Baby when I tell you I put my music on and got in the zone! Tina! Girl looking for part 3 with a flashlight in the daylight.😂🤦🏾♀️
Wow . Now I wonder who the person is who trying to kill king. I want Noah get clean first before him and Kandy get more serious. Stephanie and her mother are selfish bitches. Stacia gonna be trying to get back
Tina J why you do me like that. This book was so good I can’t wait for part 3! I hope Ivy not dead and I can’t wait to see who is after King. This was another banger from you!
The writing and storyline are good, but this book has some pathetic characters. Noah is a rich fiend, the dad is a filthy mouth jerk, and Ivy is weak. Basically this family is so dysfunctional.
This series getting better with the turn of each page. Secrets keep spilling What’s to become of King and Ivy’s love story now!! Loving Noah and Kandy relationship…. Who’s coming for King and what is Ivy’s status?? On to part 3😃
I need part 3 asap. This book had me on edge. I want to know who is after King and his family. I hope Ivy doesn't lose her baby. That would be her first miscarriage. Stasia needs to just give up on King. She is so desperate. Great Read!
Wow that ending ! I hope Ivy is okay who is after King. Stasia go away. I hope Noah gets the help that he needs. Kandy be strong. Who messed with King aunt and cousin . Can't wait for part 3.
I absolutely loved this book/series. It was great. I’m loving me some King. I can’t wait to see how everything turns out. This is most definitely a must read. I can’t wait to read part 3…Tina you have done it again…
4.5⭐️. So much drama. Everyone getting called out. Where Mya disappear to? I hope she really didn’t betray Knox. Ivy just can’t win. Like Tina J let the girl live 🤣. All she doing is sliding down walls and punching air. Stasia please go away 🙄.
How does she do this to me every time! Just when I think I know what is going on! Just when I think I got a handle on things bam! I get hit with the okey doke!
See this is why she has my blood pressure high at all times. This series is off the chain!!! I can't wait for all of these happy endings!!! They better have them!!😂
