Miyori "Mimi" Young only knew one man her entire adult life. Being young, beautiful, and educated was a gift and a curse that Mimi was all too familiar with.

Out with the old and in with the new, Mimi was moving forward with her life, not taking it for granted. That is until a knock at her door introduces her to someone new.

But what happens when a situation pulls Johari back into the life he nearly didn't escape from?
When Miyori runs into Johari unexpectedly, tempers flare, and the chemistry is undeniable. Have you ever met someone that felt familiar to not only you but your soul? But what happens when someone isn't who you expected? When all the cards are on the table, will they decide to gamble on love or pick up their belongings and go their separate ways? The tumultuous journey of Miyori and Johari will lead to one question at the end of it What would you do for love?

Amazing
This book was good from the beginning to the end. I thought it was so cute and sad at the same time they doing a bad situation, but I love the fact that JoJo knew that she was gonna be his woman, and I like that he put action behind his words and was really consistent when it came to get to her. I hated that Yummi had to go through all that pain and suffering just to find true love but it was beautiful end

This was a nice quick read. Even though it was organized chaos. Everybody knew everybody. I would like to know how Mimi dated the Ace guy for so many years but not know any of his family. That was kind of strange. Also I get she was young but she wasn’t that young she made a lot of dumb choices and I noticed her excuse for those dumb choices was always well “the liquor was running through me.” I hate to say it but hunny if all it takes is a little liquor to get you in bed that’s not a good look. But I agree with her friend when she told Mimi “she chose to be dumb.” Because Mimi had all the information to make different choices she just chose not to. That man played in your face for YEARS. So of course he felt entitled to you Mimi showed him that there was literally NOTHING he could do that would make you cut him off for real. He always had access to her body, and didn’t have to do much to get it. She kept saying she hated sex toys and didn’t have time to date but you rather a man who disgusted you lay on top of you and enter your body? Not even finding out he was married could stop her from running back. It’s like she didn’t love or respect herself. SMH. Made no sense to me at all. And Jules he wasn’t perfect but he definitely should have listened to his dad. Because he was right about those cousins. It was clear they envied that he was able to get out of the streets and make something of himself. And the fact that your OLDER cousin brought you in to clean up his mess. Blew me. Anyway there were some loose ends. Like we never got a clear answer as to why his cousin was trying to get him to talk about the murder? Or why he was attempting to get in his even though he claimed to still be out of town. Anyway overall this was a decent story.

Johari And Miyori!!
Johari saved Miyori from getting sexual assaulted. They officially met when Janelle was beating on Miyori door. These chicks were delusional according to Johari and couldn't let go. You didn't see one without the other. Her mother Karen was jealous and bitter of her aunt her sisters/ bestfriends. Abel is like a typical man when he knows he messed up he tries to turn the situation around like she was in the wrong. That's why he tried to to choke her and tried to make her break up with Johari. When finds Abel, he's going to beat him black and blue for putting his hands on Miyori. Remi was on drugs the whole time.

This was a pretty good book. Now, the audio performances, on the other hand 🙄. Myles Washington's voice is amazing, but his female characters' voice...I LOOOOAAATHE IT. He always drags the last word of a sentence for his female characters; it gives off immature and whiny, and please don't have her crying 🤬. Elyce Anthony did a good job with the main female character's voice, but all the friends' voices were the same. Her male character's voice wasn't bad, but she made him angry. It was always a if he was barking whereas he was sexy & smooth with Myles' voice. But overall, a well written book

New to me author and I’ll def be back over here!
Yummy and jojo was adorable, this was instalovey but very cute relationship. Their banter and interactions were fun. The sex def got a little repetitive for me after awhile though. I’m also not a fan of how the timeline was done hearing the same situation from both of their POV’s when we’re getting this literal same sentences and not gaining any new perspective is very annoying. I don’t need to hear their argument from both of their sides when it doesn’t add anything to the situation.

Man oh man this book was lit from the beginning to the end…One man’s trash is another man’s treasure…Abel treated Miyori like trash and she bossed up on him with his cousin unbeknownst to her and Johari treated her like she was supposed to be treated…I can’t wait for Za’Kya’s book

twisted storm
I love Mimi or Yummi as Jojo calls her! The way they met was scary yet traumatic! Still in all we seen the good in Jojo I wish it more about Remi and what him and Abel were doing. I’m glad jojo’s mom’s side didn’t make him X Mimi out. I can’t wait to read the rest of the gangs story

2nd look
I saved this book in my TBR list then took it off then put it back on and I’m glad I did. It was definitely worth the read. I can’t wait to read the other books bout the girls and their adventures. I’m mad Ace (Abel) whoever didn’t get what he really deserved cause he needed his tail handles for how he acted but all in all a good book

Great book
This was great, but repeating scene word for word in the next chapter was confusing me because I thought we were moving on and it was just retelling it from a different pov. So you read it twice. It’s no indication that it’s the scene being repeated idk. The scene when he was gone 20 days. Then repeated again in Yummi’s chapter. It threw me off a little

a good read
Listen this here is a good read. It makes you want to reassess your relationship or situationships… I’m glad Khadijah did her thing on this one. I couldn’t put it down. Go pick it up and enjoy.

Awesome Read
Although the environment may present some challenges, the love and passion remain strong. This heartfelt sentiment captures the essence of the experience. Well said, ReneeG.

It wasn't a bad book, but i personally hate when an author tells the same story word for word from the different characters. Like if you weren't gonna word it differently, then one perspective was fine. lol

I enjoyed where the story was going but it didn't quite connect for me. Also the repetitive chapters were so confusing. They gave his & her points of view but they had literally the same point of view. Nothing changed. No additional thoughts. It was such a distraction.

Jules and Yaria story were absolutely the best way to start the series. Yaria was a woman who experienced the worse in a man with the lies and cheating, till she met Jules's aka JoJo he showed her compassion and action since day one. Jules knew that he would Do 4 her.

This was a good book! I gave it a 4 star because I feel the book was a little longer than it had to be. I loved how the book wasn’t just about the FMC or MMC, they gave a little bit of the friendships between the FMC and her friends and the MMC and his homeboys.
