omg
Favorite part- KNOW YOUR WORTH!!
Man trinity is dumb and delusional just like Olivia. But lex man I just love her cause yeah sus we ain’t friends. Tony Tony Pugh ugh. Ion like how she’s confronting Ashlee but not lex weird. Tony annoying. Everyone seems so happy for now. Jace and quan definitely needs to be watched and handled with a long handle spoon. Something not right with hevan tbh. Jermaine is green to the streets and I hate that for him. Whew I like the spelling of ELEXUS name. Olivia is a stalker like one of the crazy ones. Jace is so annoying ugh. Jermaine is a liar but not by default. Trin messed in a major way and don’t even know it, Tony gotta go just like Jace. But definitely a good read

When It's All Said And Done The Truth Always Wins
Jaz, what a great turnaround read. When I tell you I thought Trinity was never gonna get her brain right. I know this was entertainment, in my opinion I think this is such a good lesson book. Always love yourself
Teach people how to treat you, never hold on to a dead situation before it beats you.
Jermaine was put in a situation that he never wanted to be in. I love his loyalty, though. I love his sense of family and he actually cares. When I say Trinity ain't no joke baby she bossed up and bossed out. Good read🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Woah
From the beginning Trinity had me so mad being stuck on Tony! He gave so many opportunities to leave him alone and she still stayed’ I was happy to see Olive come in and tell her the truth although she should’ve known from that pickup after work! I still can’t believe he did that! All I can say is Olive and Tony deserve each other and it seems like they would never grow up! Jermaine came through and did what needed to be done! I thought they wouldn’t make it but I was glad to see a change! I was sad to see Jordan go and so quickly he seemed like he was going to be the best brother! Definitely a great read! Jaz you did your thing with this one!

Jermaine and Trinity !
That was straight madness. Jermaine left school one weekend to celebrate his mama and his world was flipped upside down. Trinity was with trash of a man and after being stupid for so long finally opened her eyes. Maine and Trinity meeting was adorable and I love how things grew from there. It was a lot of things that they still didn’t know about one another, so I wasn’t surprised that Maine was shocked when he realized what he did. Trinity had every right to be mad but she was moving off emotions and being really childish, but she came clean and their love was strain her than ever. Great job Jaz 💜

Good read
Wow...i did not think this book was gonna end the way it did! I originally thought that Maine knew who Trinity was when he saw her at the grocery store and thats why he went so hard and fast. One of my least favorites was Olive initially but as the story progressed I felt bad for her and realized she may have just been caught up by Tonys' craziness. In her case, it was everything that looks good isnt always good. Trinity caught me off guard with her revelations close to the end of the book but I was definitely cheering for her...gotta keep the men on their toes. Overall a good read but there was a grammar error with a restaurant mix up.

Forgiveness for love
This is really good at first I thought that I was not going to like it, but it turns out that Maine and Trinity had a love connection that even the death of her brother couldn’t break. Tony was a nutcase that did the most, and thought that he was gonna keep a good woman while he tricked on every woman he could find. Until Trinity moved on, she really seen his psycho tendencies, however, it cost him more than he was bargained for. Ms. Atkins did her thing with this love story and I’m looking forward to reading more from her. I think sometimes love will make you forgive your loved ones for some of the things that they have done to hurt you the most.

Jermaine and Trinity
This was a good read. Tony was a Bum Azz Nicca that didn't deserve Trinity in the first place. I hate that she put up with his 💩 for so long. Jermaine came into her life at the perfect time. I love how he was all about her even though she was already pregnant. I hate he was put that situation tho. Accident or not he should have told Trinity the truth when he found out. Outcome may have still been the same cause Trinity was on one. I'm glad they were able to move forward together.💕💕

Fly high Jordan🕊
This book was it for me. I loved everything about it. It's definitely a must-read. Trinity was getting on my nerves at the beginning, acting so dense behind Tony dusty self. Just one weekend visiting home changed Jermaine whole life. Trinity meeting Jermaine was adorable, and he was immediately taken to her. Tony and Olive deserved each other. He was a bad guy and not worthy of Trinity. I felt bad when Jordan lost his life. Jermaine should've told Trinity the truth beforehand, but I'm happy that they were able to progress as a couple.

Trinity was a true Boss B.
This was a good book. I could not put my phone down. In the beginning, I just thought that after Trinity's brother died that she was going to take Tony back, but I like how you put her and Jermaine together. I knew Jace was going to be a problem, and I believe that is why he became a police officer. I like how Trinity got her revenge because, in the end, she knew she loved that man. Lexi was a true sister she knew how to handle Trinity when she knew she was wrong. It was a great read, and I recommend that you read it.

Trinity and Maine had a connection out if this world but neither knew there history connecting them could destroy what there building. I loved how Maine was a great guy and loved his family but his big brother had issues and that causes 💔. Trinity was connected and loved the wrong man who means her no good. She finally has enough and life hits her with the unexpected. Definitely a great read don't want to give the story away.

this was a hard read for me
The tears I have shed the anger and even the hate. This book was a very hard read for me. Losing a brother to situation similar. The author most definitely has you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Each emotion fits with what’s going on with in the book. I knew it would be a good book because the author gives nothing less than page turners. The story flows well and the characters are mildly crazy lol

Maine was a good guy but dealt a bad hand. He played it well. Trinity Was all about her business and I loved that about her. Tony didn’t deserve her at all. My heart went out to Haven. I’m so glad Maine stepped up for those babies. Jace was getting to big headed and had to be humbled. Maine was full of surprises and I’m so happy Trinity really wanted the cakesters.

Jaz did her big one with this book
This one of them ones you can’t put down..I hate the Jermaine got wrapped up in his brother mess with robbing the store. I feel like his brother was being greedy bc he was plugged in with his dad to sell drugs why try to rob a gasstation. It was so many secrets revealed and I can’t tell it all. I hate Trinity had to lose her brother but she also gained so much after it as well. This was a good read.

Baby this book lol was wild!!! Pretty good book lol. In the beginning I agreed with the statement Lexi made about being being with a loser and allowing him to do what he does in turn you’re becoming a loser lol. I definitely said girl how you demanding respect but you don’t even respect yourself lol.
Thank goodness she bossed up for real, but only had some childish moments

Secrets have no business in relationships no matter how deep they are. Jermaine almost lost his better half Trinity because of it. Trinity had her own, but she shared hers.
Tony just couldn’t let go, and for that he paid dearly. All he had to do was move on of showing his true colors.

Jermaine and Trinity is I guess what ppl mean when they say love conquered all. Olive was just stupid in my opinion. In some cases where time jumped from year to years I feel so much dialogue was left out. It really threw me at the scene when Lennox was left in the car and Jermaine and Trinity were so involved at reuniting nobody got him out.

Hood
Only in the hood love world will Trinity and Maine work. She was complicated because although she was successful and smart she was foolish in love. First with Tony and then with Maine. The plot was good and it was easy to see why she made the moves she did even if I pitied her.

Flaws and All
Maine and Trinity loved each other flaws and all. I liked their love story but Trinity was kinda immature for not talking to Maine when she found out about her brother’s murder. Even though Lexi was the younger sister she was more mature when it came to certain things. Glad Maine and Trinity decided to work it out. Good story.

So I swore they had a little boy, but at the end of the book he wasn't mentioned. May need to read this again. I feel like I missed something or that I'm not remembering some details clearly. Trin's story kept me smirking. After a while I figured out what she did before it was revealed

So so
More could've been said. I gave it 3 stars because I liked the beginning but I didn't like the end because it felt rushed. Why would it take so long for anybody to investigate Jordan's murder? So if Jace never become a detective then how would have everything played out? Glad the truth came out but more should've been said. Don't know if I'll read by this author again

Revenge is best served Cold
I loved how Jermaine came in and swept Trinity off her feet because I wanted to jump through this IPad and fight Tony myself. Once Trinity found out about her brothers death she took it up a notch on her own husband and I loved that! Awesome read

The web we weave
I was not expecting all those turns of events. Trinity was something else. The funny thing is, Maine matched the energy he thought MF was putting out. The entire time, it was not that.

I thought this was a very good stand alone book.
The author did an excellent job of writing this book and the interactions of the characters. Also, there were a few grammatical errors!
