My Man's Best Friend
My Man's Best Friend III: Severing Ties
The tragedies that hit Derrick back to back have changed the loving and compassionate person he once was. His relationship with his parents is strained, he’s lost his best friend Jaquon, and Kea has declined his engagement. Though he tries to do everything right, Derrick’s life has turned out all wrong for him. Now he’s decided to play the field and see how it would be to act like his ex-best friend.
Kea has accepted Jaquon’s hand in marriage, but with so many people unhappy about it, she begins to question her decision. After all, he has been a player during their entire relationship, cheating on her with multiple women. Is Kea delusional to think Jaquon will change?
Jaquon is determined to do the right thing by Kea no matter what, but when a fling from his past comes back to blackmail him, his faithfulness is tested. Should he tell Kea this is happening, or will he surrender to the temptation and revert to his old ways?
Trinity is the wild card no one knows about. She’s happy to have Derrick in her life, but when she finds out he’s also seeing Zacariah, she goes on the warpath. She will do whatever it takes to get her man once and for all.
The finale to this mind-blowing series will answer the questions readers have been wondering about. Who killed Essence? What happened to Kea’s mother? Will Jaquon ever change? Will Derrick mend his relationship with his parents? Will he find out who his real father is? And the biggest one of all: Will Derrick and Kea end up together?
Tresser Henderson answers all these questions and more, taking you on another emotional rollercoaster that will leave you holding on to your seat until the exciting end.

About the author
Tresser Henderson
13 books43 followersThe most important title I have in this world is being a woman, wife, and mother. I'm so happy to add author to this list as well. I tapped into this passion working in the corporate world for a major insurance company. I wasn't happy in my job and I had my boss who asked me what is something I've always wanted to do. I told him write and from that day on, I've been writing ever since.
My debut novel My Man's Best Friend was published in 2012 by Urban Book/Kensington Publishing. Each year following came My Man's Best Friend II-Damaged Relations, My Man's Best Friend III-Severing Ties, The Johnson Sisters, and Big Girl's Drama.
Signing with Anointed Inspirations Publishing (AIP) in the summer of 2017, Null & Void was my next book to be released October 2017.
Yes my books seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum but you know what, you only live once. I can write drama. I can write enticing scenes. And I can write Christian. Whatever is placed in my heart to write, I'm going to do it.
I'm a living witness that dreams can come true. So, if there is anything you have a passion to do, go for it. Life is too short not to. For me, this is only the beginning. The sky is the limit and I'm reaching high to get where I want to be.

This novel had a real twist to it. In the end it worked out the way it should have. Trinity was a very disturbed young lady and Derrick should've known better than to play with someone who seemed so unstable. There were some grammatical errors along the way but did not diminish the storyline at all just some things that should have been corrected but overall this was a very good ending to this series. The ending left me reeling! I could not believe it! Anyone who read the first 2 novels needs to read this one so that you can have closure to the characters lives. Great work Tresser Henderson read the book in one day!

Tresser Henderson, where ever you are, you can not and I repeast CAN NOT leave us hanging like this! The ending was crazy. While it did leave some closure, I am still dying to know what happens with everyone, like Jaquon and Sheila and definitely Terry! I have enjoyed all three installments and I would love a fourth!!

All I can do is shake my head at that damn Trinity!

Excellent ending to a fantastic series
In the end love will always win, even if that means you have to go to hell and back to get it.
Great Story Tresser Henderson

DISAPPOINTED!
I feel like I was duped and cheated of my time. I read this book in 2 days just to run into a rushed ending! Talkin bout "1 year later"? TF!!!
I wanted the outraged confrontation. Why go into detail about Jaquan's and Zacariah's infidelity rendezvous, just to dismiss how their relationship's officially ended with Kea and Derrick? I understand how a satyromaniac like Jaquan ended up with a nymphomaniac like Sheila, but I wanted closure on how that came to be when Kea called him out. I got more closure from Emory's failed marriage and she wasn't even a main character! So that's my first disappointment.
The Terry thing was an eye roller. I felt like I could've done without her little chapter because it was silly. Not silly because she's a lesbian, but because of the once again "small world" tactic. Speaking of silly, it's obnoxious how many times these characters "coincidently" keep running into one another at their public outings or had relations with this person who "coincidently" had prior relations with that person. Talk about abusing the expression,"It's a small world". My folks come from Lynchburg, VA, I can assure you Virginia is not as small as the story makes it out to be.
Something this book lacked was STD's and jobs. Of all the sexual encounters, from book 1-3, not ONCE did I read about someone pulling out a condom. HIV/STD's were without a doubt around in 2012, so I'm unsure as to why at some point somebody wasn't burnin (I get that it's just a story but my God...SELL ME!). And it seemed like the only one that had a job was Kea and Terry. Never did I read about Derrick, Zacariah, or even Sheila's "always home and always ready" self having a job to get to/come home from.
I can't say I was pleased with the climax of the book either. It would've made sense for someone to die or be permanently impaired from having a major artery severed or something, but whatever.
Such a let down.

Oh MY Goodness Ms. Henderson did it again she surely wrapped up the series and still left a little teaser out there with the character Terry. I enjoyed the whole series and book. She not only wrapped it up she gave a perfect ending along with a little bittersweet pain. Jaquon, Derrick, Kea, Zacariah, Trinity and the crew and the secrets some still untold and maybe they don't need to be. you will enjoy this book but I urge you to start from the beginning because you might miss a few pieces

Wow! The ending was completely unsuspecting! This book series took me on several emotional roller coasters! I am at a lost for words! Incredible, incredible, incredible series! Who would have thought that I would have stumbled upon this series and this author? I want to read more!!

This was so suspenseful and a great conclusion to a story!!!

This series is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Immediately with book 1 you are drawn into a crazy rollercoaster of drama. Trinity, the character in this book is twisted. When I tell you this woman has helluva issues…..baaaaby!!! I promise you won’t be disappointed when it comes to this series.

This book, this book. It took me a while to read it. I almost didn't want to see what happened, but OMG! It was so good. I couldn't believe terry in this last book. I won't spoil it but man! Anyway, wonderful read!

Wow, Oh My God, Phenomenal, explosive and violent writing! This book had my heart pounding, head spinning and palm sweating with such intense excitement and complete anticipation. Each character development was detailed with such in-depth design.
Highly recommended

Whew! What a ride Ms. Henderson. I enjoyed every moment of the toxicity. My issues don’t seem so bad after all.
