Absolute banger!
This was such a good read. Damn, I been sleeping on Ms. Grace. I grabbed this in the Brae2025 drop and I’m so grateful I did this was straight bomb.
Now August how your stupid ass let that girl slide back in and mess things up with my boo? I wanted to smack him so bad. But Anesia…chef’s kiss. At first I was iffy and almost closed it because I don’t do weak FMCs, but hell nah. She grew a spine, stopped being soft, and I can’t wait for her to own her power.
Rico, Rio, Roni, Kee, Chance, Mari… all on my s**t list. Especially Mari…Anesia better drag her one good time, I’m waiting. I loved how loyal friends and messy enemies made the stakes real, and how Anesia didn’t play victim. She fought back, and it was satisfying as hell.
Pacing was tight, heat was up, and the emotional payoff hit. I’m moving on to the next book.

Anesia is struggling to get her life together because she is holding down her boyfriend, Rico, and his family. She meets August who instantly wants to take care of her. The premise of the story is good; it somewhat put me in the mind of Loved by a Certified Maniac with a young woman is broken down by her boyfriend then a real one steps in. However, Anesia gave ignorant with one of her decisions and August's lack of communication at the end made me side-eye him.
There was a lot of repetitiveness of the paragraphs in the beginning as though they were placed twice. Hopefully part 2 is better with editing.

Good Read!
This book had me in a chokehold from the beginning. I started it late and couldn’t put it down until I finished. There goes my 7 hours of sleep.
I love a book full of mess, and this book is full of it. I can’t stand most of the female characters. I loved the way August loved on Nesia Baby until I didn’t 😡. Rico, you are not a man. I hope you get everything that’s coming for you. Nesia, I hope you get your happy ending in book 2. I purchased book 2 and am about to start it now, even though I should be working. I am entering the rabbit hole now.

This was my introduction to Bella Grace. I was not disappointed. This was a page turner for me. I had to finish in one day. I kept reading to figure out what was going to happen. Because some part of the book I was like, are you kidding me. I hope August and Anesia can figure everything out And I hope book 2 is coming soon. I have to know what will happen with Roni, Rio, Kee, Mari, and Rico. They are all a mess
Great job Ms. Bella Grace. I look forward to the next read

Anesia and August
Plot is great and drama. August is Anesia’s knight and shining armor, but neither of their ex’s want them to have the happy ending they are searching for.
Every person associated with Anesia except for her best friend will piss you all the way off. Also, Anesia had me yelling at kindle a few times because my girl should have known better sometimes. I read both books in a day and definitely would recommend

Anesia had been through a lot, and then she met August charming and handsome self, instantly showing her what how a man should treated her. My only issue with August is him not communicating with Anesia with all the stuff that happened with his ex and with the information he found out, it’s like he abandoned her. But I can’t wait to read part 2!

must read
This book was so good. August was everything but he started to piss me off. I’m ready for part 2. Anesia deserves happiness. Take a chance and read it. You won’t be disappointed.

I can change your life
I enjoyed getting To know all the characters. The Insta love between the two main characters makes for good story then there’s always a fool lurking trying to bring drama. The story was entertaining. I’m going to read part two now.

SPOILER ALERT!!! 🚨🚨🚨
The levels of delulu some of these characters have will make your head spin! 🤣 August did not move fast enough for me when Anesia got ghost. I love Cree, Mecca, & Keema. There were some back story that was dropped through out the book about these characters that I hope the author will explore in the next book. Had a good time with this one, and I'm nosey so I'm onto the next one!

A Green FMC
Anesia upsetted me so bad! Rico and his mama was absolutely the worst! I understand why she left her family, but she would have been better off with Cree.

Decent
Over all this was a decent read. I wish the MMC was more open to communicating with the FMC about his discovery.

Anesia acted like a stupid bitch all throughout this story. First for not going to stay with her best friend in the first place knowing Rico crazy demented ass and his trifling ass mama and brother wasn't shit. She done funded their whole lifestyle and still when she was free went back for some raggedy ass shit she didn't need. Anesia talking about she's not on August level. She wasn't good enough for herself let alone anyone else. And she trfling as hell when she knew she was pregnant while she drinking like a sailor.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
