SECRETS OF A KEPT BITCH
Amina “Mimi” Washington was born in poverty and raised on the south side of New Orleans, to parents that were not worthy of having a child. She had to fend for herself at a young age; life was hard from the get-go, and she must figure out a way to get herself out of the poverty stricken environment.
Unlike other girls her age, young Mimi wants more out of life; she wants a way out of the ghetto. Fate intervenes on her behalf when she meets one of New Orleans’ biggest dope boys. She instantly falls in love with this mysterious stranger; everything in her life changes for the better and her future seems brighter. She will soon learn however, that being a hustler’s wife comes with serious consequences.
Years later, Mimi decides to move to Atlanta, where she has it all; a beautiful family, fast cars, the finest clothes and everything that she’s ever dreamt about.
How can a woman that has so much going for herself be so unhappy? With a man that’s constantly cheating and her past rapidly catching up to her, she must figure out a way to get all these secrets out in the open—without taking a loss. Take a ride on this roller coaster with Amina Washington and uncover the SECRETS OF A KEPT BITCH.

OMG that was one of the best books I've read in the last couple of months. What is done in the dark always comes to light poor Mimi I could not be in her shoes, and that man well so called man of hers was doing way too much. How can you say you love someone but in 2.5 seconds you humping on the next chick. He deserves everything there is too come and Tyreek poor guy. Can't wait to start reading part 2 this was an great read story flowed no mistakes. I would recommend this book

Secrets Of A Kept Bitch
Oooh whee Ambria Davis! I had to read this book twice because it was that good. If there is a sequel I'm going to read that book too. You are definitely talented and a blessed writer. Keep up the great work.

So, I had kind of given up on urban fiction. With the exception of a few authors I love that write this genre? Everything else is... Subpar.
I pick this up from the library having finished the book I was reading heading into work. I needed a book to read on my commute home. I didn't expect much at all.
Welp! Now I'm siting here anxiously awaiting the next in the series to be ready for pick up at the library. I need to see what happens next.
Amina (Mimi) has been with Kaylin for years. She and her bestie Troy moved from Nola to Atlanta to escape rough starts in life. Kaylin followed. Now Mimi is successful (she has her Masters and owns several businesses). She also has three kids with Kaylin. Kaylin cannot stop cheating on her. No matter that he says he loves her, more and more other women keep popping up out of the woodwork. Sometimes pregnant.
Mimi finally realizes that enough is enough. She has also met a guy that might be worth leaving Kaylin for... What happens as she tries to leave?
The characters in the book are not all fleshed out. Neither are they all likable. You also have to suspend belief at one point. But the twists and turns make this a fast paced read.
3.5 stars

Eh. I was not a fan. I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't. Plot holes. Underdeveloped plots. Farfetched storylines. And Repetitive dialog killed it for me. The kicker was the narration. It sucked. I had to listen to the book on 1.7x speed just to bypass the unreasonably long pauses between passages. Even at that speed the pauses were out of control. No desire to read the next book to see how it all ends. No thanks.

While I enjoyed the book there were a few instances where the timeline wasn’t consistent or the timing of the events seemed off to me. That threw me off quite a bit.

Read it. Mimi, Troy, Kaylen, Mark, Stacy, etc. it’s so many ppl I. This book that intertwine together you need Ancestry.com to do a family tree. This was another juicy drama filled book.

I'm not doing a full review.
decent read for the price I hope this want be drawn out like all the other hood novellas and part two should defiantly bring it home. I don't think the plot is strong enough for more than a sequel and the ending was not all that thought out. seems a bit last minute. this book won't make a good trilogy but if she ends it well with part two she will set herself up for a nice following of fans with her future work. keep in my that she is a new author but she has mad potential to bring you something on the level of Shonda Cheeks, Terri Woods and similar authors. I rated it three stars because it started of decent and tried to go left at the end to introduce you to the sequel. where as it should have just been wrapped up there in book one. Authors don't understand that it's starting to become a detractors when it takes five books to tell one solid story that roughly 320 pages alone could have filled. But we live in a society where ratchet sells. lol

GHETTO Fabulous Hood Stars..that's what Urban fiction is made of.
I enjoyed the characters and story,and if I told about the mistake...
I'd give away a pretty important part of the plot twist..but aside from
the daughter being 8 yrs. old and the writer calling her 4 or 5 yrs.old.
I mean everyone is entitled to a misprint...and all in all I understood any
ways.Decent Urban Fiction title...NEXT!

Dynamite
At first, I didn't like going back in time from the future. I don't understand how Mimi had twins and Kaylin didn't know. How did she have the girls and he didn't know that she was carrying twins. One stayed with Tyre and the other one went with her. That's the only thing that makes the story unbelievable. I will get book two.

Excellent
this book was a banger. Love it from the beginning to end. Kaylin was such a dog. Mimi should have left him a long time ago. I hope there is a part 2.

Exciting
I like the on going drama, and the circles of people playing each other, just to find out about another deceiving one.
