Even though it was well written like the others, I found myself skipping and skimming on the simple fact that I wasn't feeling what was happening in the book. I didn't like the ending at all. it's still worth the read, though. I'm confused about the interaction Chop had with his dead mom while he was in the coma. she made it seem like him and Lani were going to work out, but that's not the case. She married bitch ass Duke instead.

P.S
I still hate Duke 🙄

SPOILER ALERT 🚨

I really enjoyed the first two books. I read them back to back. But I almost stopped reading this last book when I realized Milani and Chop weren’t getting back together 😫 I admit, in the first book, Duke was a breath of fresh air but his purpose was to make Chop open his eyes and he definitely did. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Duke and Milani, especially in this last book. But Chop’s love for her bounced off these pages. Maybe it’s my toxic trait but I just wasn’t feeling her choice. And the fact that he cheated after everything she shared with him was unforgivable in my opinion 🤷🏾‍♀️ And the whole Dom/ Sub thing thrown in was just weird. Overall, this is a good series and I will definitely be reading more from this author.

good bones

My issue with the series is what they did with Duke’s character. the mistake that he supposedly makes does not align with who they built him up to be. I also think that this author went little off script and just started throwing things into the storyline. All in all, it was a good storyline the only thing that ruined it for me was what they made Duke’s character do and BDSM because it was out of left field. Those two things really brought down my reading from a 5 to 3.

This was my first read from Jda J., and if I'm not mistaken, this is her first release in general. Overall, this was a good series that had me locked in.

I will say things turned out completely different than what I expected them to, and things that happened in the book caught me by surprise. With the title being "You The One and The Two," I really thought that phrase was meant for Lani and Chop. I thought through it all; somehow, they were going to end up with one another.

They both expressed their love for one another countless times, it's just that Chop continuously played in her face and messed with multiple women. To him, because they were supposed to be each other's true loves, he just knew Lani would be there when he finally got it together. He also used the fact that they were never officially in a relationship to his advantage as well.

I will say, I was happy that Lani was able to move on and find love outside of her situationship with Chop. She was able to be loved differently, and Duke seemed good at first. However, the more we learned about his background with relationships, he wasn't the man he portrayed himself to be. I was turned off after Keli shared her side of how their relationship went. However, what she did as payback for his repeated infidelities was too far.

Duke truly was a dog a** n*gga just like Chop. Then he proved he was still that dog a** n*gga with his "mistake" while Lani carried his children. Nonetheless, there was always a new layer of Lani being revealed throughout the series, and like we learned, Duke also learned she was not the one to play with. So I think, a mixture of her leaving him alone for a while, and actually beating his a** really scared him straight.

In the end, I feel like Lani and Duke's relationship ended up being out of convenience. So much happened in a short amount of time with their relationship that they were better off being with each other so that none of it would be in vain.

However, despite all the bullsh*t, she and Chop still remained each other's true loves. He definitely deserved the pain of watching another man love her for sure, but that should've been what scared him straight to do right by her and love her wholeheartedly moving forward. In the end, he probably had too much baggage and caused too much damage to what they built, it couldn't be repaired. So Duke was the more reasonable choice in the end.

Okay y’all… I just finished this book and my heart? Still in recovery. Let’s talk.

First of all—Lani.
Lani Lani Lani. Girl. When I say the character development was wild, I mean WILD in all caps. She was unhinged, and honestly? Probably a little too unhinged for me at times—but I couldn’t stop reading. She had me clutching my pearls one minute and rooting for her the next. Like ma’am?? Please??

Now Duke… sigh.
He had me swooning in Book 1, like full-on book bae status. But in this one? Sir, get out the way. He fumbled the bag. I don’t know what happened, but the sparkle faded and I found myself side-eyeing him real quick.

Chop?
He was doing the most and also the least at the same time. Just all over the place. I couldn’t pin him down, but somehow he kept me entertained. Messy, chaotic, and still lowkey lovable. Don’t ask me how that works—I don’t know either.

GMA though??
A true OG. Like, put some respect on her name! She held it down in ways that reminded me of those old-school matriarchs who don’t say much but know everything. She was dropping gems and serving sass and wisdom with every sentence.

But can we talk about that ending??
YESSSS LANI! That final moment? Chef’s kiss. I had to sit back and just smile like a proud auntie. My girl did that! I need to know if she and Duke had that little girl though—I NEED ANSWERS. Don’t leave me hanging like that!

So yeah, this book? A ride. Buckle up, because the drama, growth, chaos, and unexpected twists will have you all up in your feelings.

love this series

Whewwww, what a story. Jda J had me scared for a minute when Duke was sick. All I kept thinking about was Chop mom telling him Lani was his soulmate and how there would be another chance for him to win her back. I was just thinking Duke had terminal cancer and would die. I am so happy that was not the case. I will say I enjoyed the levels it took to learning about Lani. In book 1 we knew she was a boss a** girl who did not play. But nothing could have prepared me in learning she was THE head huncho. She definitely is one that is to not be played with. The ending really shocked me. I always found it suspicious that no one was looking into Chop “accident”. I was happy to read about Lani and Duke getting married. I was so afraid she would get back with Chop and I desperately didn’t want that to happen. I admire the way she helps out with Chop baby. I will say I hated how Duke parents story line ended. I feel like black couples can never just be in love in books. I wished Duke dad wasn’t written as a cheater and liar. For once can we get a happy old couple without deceitful drama? I really enjoyed this series and I look forward to reading more by Jda J. I really liked how you included yourself in the book and how the characters spoke directly to the readers.

Great Book Series… until book 3

Books 1&2 of this series were the TRUTH! I loved them to the point I read both books in 1 day. So imagine my surprise when I get to book 3 and the concluding storyline doesn’t make a lot of sense.

(SPOILER ALERT) After Chops accident in book 1, his dead mom comes to him and tells him he ends up with Lani at the beginning of book 2, just for her to marry someone different in book 3. Then we find out Lani is the head of the drug cartel in Kentucky, not Dee& Chop, but she somehow use to be a stripper? Then Lani is a twin sister but after book 2 we no longer hear from Luvie.

Overall, I think the books were good and kept me interested. I just feel like too many ideas were thrown in without proper execution and explanations. I would read more from Jda J. just hope future projects have a more cohesive through line.

She got the man, the kids, and the hustle—Lani showed us how to be that girl in the best series finale ever.

JDa J., I have to tip my hat to you. The way We Turned wrapped up in Book 3? YES—I needed that. You delivered the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable ride.

Let me just say this: Lani is THAT GIRL. She made the right choice for herself, and she showed us that yes—you really can have it all. The man, the kids, the hustle—and do it all like a boss.

I absolutely loved this series. I found myself yelling out loud at my book, totally wrapped up in the drama, the growth, and the love. I really hope this isn’t the last we see of this group, for any reason.

This was a great series, and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

Just finished series and I loved it. Does Duke have cancer? Why was he coughing up blood and we gotta know if what chop mom said was true about them being destined and it just wasn't their time....

''I ’ve lost her forever,” I said, dropping my head because I didn’t want to see the look of disappointment on her face. “That’s not true son. I know it seems like that right now, but you can’t escape destiny and y’all are destined to be together.” “You don’t understand ma, it’s really over. She’s moved on.” “I know son, but you just have to faith in the bigger picture. Right now just isn’t y’alls time, but it will come. Trust me,” she said with a smile."

that’s how you finish a series

This was my first read by this author this series and I was hooked from book 1 but baby book 3 had so much going on I was going back to read stuff. I tell you 1 thing you better not ever cross Milani Mi’Amor Johnson she coming for your head. I’m so glad chop ass got humbled because play with somebody else. Ace I knew was gone get his. The king himself Duke that’s how you handle business and love on your lady. What I wasn’t ready for was the candy revelation. I said that chop was gone let her off easy I should’ve known Milani don’t give no passes. I will definitely be adding this author to my list of favs

you have an issue reading books with grammar and spelling errors do not read this book. Personally I advise you not let sway you from reading these good books. J’da J is a great storyteller. She built some great characters and plots. My excitement was evident as I read through these pages.

This is the conclusion to Lani and her people. I am so glad Lani got her happy ending. I was concerned for her. She forgave Duke and I’m pleased for her. I want Chop to find a woman who will make him happy especially since he is trying to do better for himself.

I must say I did not like that there wasn’t much around consent when it came to sex whether it was men or women.

I don’t normally do this

But this series had me hooked from the beginning to the very end. J’da J made this story feel like a gossip session with your homegirl, just sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear what happens next. I loved the voice she gave to each character by allowing them to introduce themselves and give their background. The plot was immersive, the sex was explosive and the unaliving was immaculate. This is a 5 star series and I cannot wait until she gives us another series!

it was a decent ending

I guess the ending was cool but I don’t feel like it was worth all the drama. Also I felt like Chop and Lani shoulda got back together he never cheated on her Duke did multiple times. Him having that dream and confirming that Lani was made for him just for her to turn around and marry Duke?? Booooooo!! Chop definitely got the short end of the stick. No Lani, Baby mama dead and gone and he’s stuck with Shay who he really don’t care about. Overall good book

Lani is still that girl—solid, loyal, and way too real for the chaos constantly surrounding her. Honestly, all her problems come straight from the ninjas around her! Smh. The ops lived way too long in this one, but J’da J definitely brought the heat for the finale. I’m glad Duke finally got his act together because he was one more bad decision away from losing Lani for good. And Gma? She’s a straight G—everybody better stop playing with her!
This book tied everything together with emotion, action, and wild twists. Family, loyalty, and love were all put to the test in the finale.

Flabbergasted!!!

The amount of snakes in the garden…. GOODNESS!!!! Duke & Lani are definitely a match made in heaven!… You riding, I’m rolling! I felt slightly bad for Chop but when you take people/things for granted, you might not get endless chances to make it right and the price you end up paying may very well be unbearable. Book 3 wrapped the chaos up perfectly! What a ride!!!

Overall I enjoyed the series, book 2 dragged for me and had a lot of fluff but 1&3 yeah Jda J did that! It will forever be DUKE for me (and if this isn’t the end of the series they better remain together lol) !! Chop played in Lani’s face for 8 YEARS! Knew everything she offered (i.e head of the cartel!!) and how good of a woman she was yet he still played?!? Naw they were never supposed to end up together idc what his momma said that was a figment of his imagination 🤣😂

I’m lost…

With each book, the storyline got crazier. I’m not feeling Lani’s transformation at all. I get her and Chop weren’t “technically” in a relationship, but their relationship was too much for it to be “best friends”. Then you made Duke weak! Then there’s the sex dungeon. Then she’s the head of the cartel! Yeah, I only read this book to complete the series. I loved books 1 & 2 but I’m not sure what happened with this one.

Duke my man my man

This series had a lil bit of everything, spice, romance, and all the drama. Lani is a strong fmc she was boss and a lady and she could afford to be choosy. Men will disappoint you but if you get over the disappointment and hurt you can really have the best love of your life. Duke new bookbae for me.
