I just wanna say Rashaad and Liberty was no good. If your man let you take the fall for him to do a bid, he don’t love you. Ain’t no way. Of course he gonna do you dirty while you on the inside. I recommend but I hate the cliffhanger.

Dammit

Snakes lie dormant then they strike when you least expect it. Dynasty was a woman and love so she took a charge for a man who wound up doing her dirty in the worst way possible. Rashaad was a ninja who would’ve been facing 20 years in prison when he pulled over with narcotics in his car that Dynasty had no clue about so he asks the unthinkable of her and she obliges. Not only does she lose her freedom but her chance and being a nurse for two years in prison behind an ain’t ish ninja. Losing her mother at the age of six she’s left in the care of her Nana & Aunt Meek & they don’t play about her at all. She had two friends a best friend named Kylie and a very envious friend named Liberty and boy does her name fit her lol. While Dynasty was in prison there are rumors about Rashaad and Liberty circulating but she doesn’t pay them any mind. On the day she’s set to be released Rashaad is nowhere to be found so she’s left to rely on Kylie to pick her up. While waiting she comes across the very handsome Messiah & his grandmother.

Messiah is a father that’s single who’s daughter loss her mother Madilyn during childbirth with the help of his uncle and grandmother he’s doing a great job considering his own mother had been MIA majority of his life. Makayla is a very happy healthy smart vibrant lil girl who wants a mom,something she doesn’t have. Makayla’s grandparents come back four years later expecting to just be apart of her life after being absent. Yes they loss their daughter but she loss her mother. Dynasty crosses paths with Messiah again and is offered a job after getting into an accident with him. Liberty thinks she’s got it made but Rashaad still has feelings for Dynasty and he slips up in a big way during an argument that I found hilarious. Dynasty is making money and getting close with Makayla bc she’s hired as her babysitter. What happens when Messiah wants to again mix business with pleasure after the last incident he went through? I love Kylie and Dynasty’s friendship bc it’s real and true. Aunt Meek is definitely a great aunt and Nana is the best there is. That cliffhanger making me nervous I hope it’s not what I think it is. Great job on part 1 boo it definitely kept me on my toes throughout the entire read.

Whew!!! First of all, you know you're wrong for doing us like that with that ending. I did not expect this huge cliffhanger. The drama, the mess and the chaos! Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they'll treat you the same. I knew something wasn’t right and off about Liberty, between Liberty and Rashaad, I don’t know who irritates me the most. Rashaad was a sad excuse for a man. Liberty really thought she was getting a real man, now look how the tables turn. Rashaad was a broke bum that loved to play with that bugga sugar and he definitely didn't deserve Dynasty. Messiah was heaven sent to Dynasty. Aspen is a poor excuse of a mother. Rashaad didn't treat Dynasty right but can't stand to see her move on, he got some nerves. It was definitely Makayla's grandparents and they just dig their own grave by kidnapping her. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Everyone warning her about liberty but she ain’t listening I bet Rashad and liberty had something to do with why she was in jail. Oh she one of them dumb ones😔.

Bum shad getting on my nerves like let sus be happy and stop acting like the world knew him a sy is related. Awe man why would u let them old folks kidnap her 😢😢 I laughed like that. But when pt.2 coming out

😳😳😳😳

You know good and well you are so wrong for that ending!!! I just love Dynasty!! From everything she has gone thru, she still remains very humble! Loving the wrong man can be sooo easy, but Dynasty is standing on business! I just can not wait until Rashaad and Liberty receive their karma!! They’re definitely receiving it right now, but I know it’s gota get greater later😂😂😂they need to watch and suffer😂😂😂😂Baby, which one of them have decided to sign their certificate to be unalived??? I can’t wait for book 2 cause I’m ready to read this action that’s sure to come!! This book keeps you in from beginning till end, JOB WELL DONE!! Ps……Messiah is definitely the difference between a boy and a grown man!!!

Who Needs Fake Friends?

Malicia, ok now this read right here will have you looking sideways at your supposedly day one's. When I tell you Rashaad is wore he really is. Liberty is gonna get everything due to her. To think her actions are justified is beyond me. Messiah is the right mix of a man in my opinion, truthful, loyal and not on bs. Dynasty, is loyal to a fault. She never saw her outcome happening. But one thing for certain when someone shows you who they are please believe them.
This isn't gonna end well for some folk.at all. I can only imagine who decided to step on Messiah's toes.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

💣💣💣 Azz Read

Malicia!!!!!! Really!!!!!! How you do us like that. I'm pointing my fingers at the grandparents. I know they feeling real salty right now but that wasn't the move to make if it was them. It also could have been Rashaad's bum azz. He never deserved Dynasty in the first place. For her to ride for him like she did and he do her that dirty is an unforgivable betrayal. Liberty is the worst type of best friend, the jealous envious type. She bout to learn the hard way that Rashaad ain't 💩. I'm team Messiah and Dynasty all the way. Who ever got his daughter gonna wish that dumb azz plan never crossed their mind.💖💖

Ok storyline

This book has alot of potential because the storyline is interesting. To me though it was a little hard to read. The dialogue between the characters seemed fake. The image I had of the characters in my head no way matched the way they spoke. There were too many "big" words which made it seem unbelievable. There were also some other grammar errors. With that being said, I would read part two to see if the author changed the writing style and to see what happens next. Im rooting for Dynasty and cant wait to see what happens to the "friend" Liberty, especially when she learns of Dynastys' new life.

Part 2 me immediately 🔥

Chile, Messiah about about to cut the hell up over Makayla. I believe her grandparents took her and if they did then I hope they wills are in order. Dynasty is such a sweet person and trusted the wrong people. Liberty trash and I honestly believe she had something to do with the drugs being in Rashaad car. And speaking of his nothing a$$ 🤦🏽‍♀️, what really gets me is that he knows that he’s trash and don’t care. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Great job sis ❤️

That ending though!

Lord I wasn’t expecting that at all! I have a feeling who took her and I can’t wait for part 2! Now back to this read! I couldn’t put my kindle down! The way it started I knew it would be good! I was so happy when dynasty finally saw Rashaaad in the store and let him have it! He had some nerve to even think about approaching her. I was happy to see Liberty getting exactly what she deserved and I know there’s more to come! I’m hoping Dynasty and Messiah both get their happy ending! I’m ready for part 2 now!

Page turner

When you’re young and so say in love you do crazy things. Dynasty took a charge for Rashaad and went did jail time and he couldn’t even hold her down. Instead he get her so say snake best friend Liberty pregnant. Everyone needs a friend like Kylie because she stood with Dynasty and kept her in line so she wouldn’t go back to jail. Hitting Messiah changed Dynasty’s life because she got a place to stay and a job paying a g a week. Now we are about to see who Si is because someone took Makayla. I can’t wait for the next book

Unimpressed

The story line is very confusing,the characters are very immature to be in their late twenties. So many parts that had no relevance,thereby hindering the flow of the story. I didn’t like the the typical “hood,drug dealing “ narrative for the main character,while the women had corporate or professional jobs.The only thing I like was the uncle’s relationship with the main character,as well as the aunt and true best friend relationship. This should have been a standalone.
Not much grammatical errors.

I need part 2 like today

Now, that was a cliffhanger for you. But I hope that Makayla is going to be okay because I think it was the grandparents, but I also think Brook probably had something to do with it. I'm glad that Dynasty and Messiah are giving it a chance. Rashaad and Liberty are going to get what's coming to them. I hope in the next book, Kylie and Meek, get a chance to say they piece because I love them for Dynasty. Great read but patiently waiting for part 2.

Chile!!!!
Thank you, Malicia, for giving us this bomb read! I hate that Dynasty took that charge for that no good arse ninja Rashaad!! No man is worth your freedom!!! Rashaad and Liberty thought that the grass was greener on the other side, but true colors are out, and buyer's remorse is setting in. Now Messiah, whew that's a whole man right there!!! Now, who took the baby?? Messiah is about to rip the streets of Houston up!!

great book

Boy oh boy!!! Dynasty was that ride or die chick for Rashaad. I am mad she even took a charge for a man anyway. I’m glad she had her best friend Kylie and her Aunt Meek to have her back while she was gone and when she got out. Messiah and his daughter are so cute. Messiah definitely does not play about his daughter. Messiahs uncle is a great support system and Makayla’s grandmother. I can’t wait for part 2.

I loved this book.

It was perfect. There wasn’t too much drama going on to where the book was all over the place but it wasn’t too little where the book became boring. I definitely suspect the grandparents. I can’t wait for everything to come to light. I lowkey want Tae and Meek together. I don’t feel bad for Liberty at all either. She just knew she had the prize. Can’t wait to see what unfolds in part 2

okay

Decent read. But you know when you are talking to someone and they are trying to sound smarter than they are by using "big" words and stumbling over them as they speak? That's how this book was written. Big words then miss used words and just regular errors that should have been caught. The MFC actions are all over the place. The last chapter was too fast paced. She went from getting ready to go out with her people to having a birthday dinner. Let me move on to part 2.

This book was so good I loved Dynasty she was a sweetheart and got played by those she loved and trusted. My favorite part was win she punched Liberty in the face her trifling tale deserved so much more. I loved some Messiah he is a great guy book is definitely worth reading 📚 can't wait til part 2. Don't want to give the storyline away in my review.

Rashaad was definitely a bumb and Liberty is getting exactly what she deserves because she allowed her jealousy to get the best of her...Liberty was definitely giving off opportunist with Messaiah...Rashaad was really loose him and Liberty were made for each other...Dynasty definitely deserves a Messaiah or any form of happiness...come on book 2

That dirty Grandpa did his big one. He just opened a can of whoop azz or should I say death. I just know it was him. Rashad is going to be a big problem when he figure that car out. With a friend like Liberty who needs an enemy. Dynasty came home and now is taking care of business to better herself and I love it. Messiah is about to unleash the beast.

Waiting on part 2

I liked this book from beginning to end. Dynasty story was a true love story. She finally got the princess treatment she deserved after dealing with a no good man. It was different that Messiah turned out to be her best thing. I'm glad she found out the truth about her other so called best friend. Now I can't wait for part 2.

OMG. WHAT A READ.

This book was so freaking good. I felt so bad for Dynasty but I had a feeling that it was not going to go all bad. Also I did not like Rashaad from the first chapter. But this is a good book I loved it and I cannot wait for book two. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Good Read

The plot is cool. However, the execution needs a little work. I know it’s fiction but it should still be believable. The fact that Messiah has a perfect stranger around his daughter just doesn’t seem believable. Also, the fact that Dynasty is living with a stranger, again doesn’t make sense.

Oh my….

Ms Bond you’ve out done yourself with this one! I’m not sure if it’s the grandparents, Brook or Rashaad but someone is about to pay dearly! Dynasty and Sy deserve to be happy and with each other. A must read!

Whew…somebody messed up now. I just hope they realize there’s no coming back from that one. I wonder who it could’ve been? I have a guess, but I could be wrong. I’ll just wait until part 2 drops to see. Hopefully I don’t have to wait too long.
