I Ain't No 50/50 Type of Chick
"What you said and did to get me in the beginning is what you must do to keep me."
Jai Love was never the type to go half on anything with a man. Maleek Brewer understood that when he stepped up and made sure she never had to. While she focused on becoming a top medical examiner, he handled the bills, the household, everything—no complaints. But now, the man who once made sure she wanted for nothing is asking her to split the load. Jai doesn’t do 50/50, and she damn sure doesn’t do sudden shifts without explanations. Some say she’s selfish, but after everything Maleek did for her, why does it feel like he’s the one hiding something?
Savvy Morris is watching from the sidelines, taking notes. The type of man who moves with purpose and plays for keeps. And if Jai is slipping through the cracks of what she thought was real, he’s more than willing to catch her.
Cali Love, Jai’s cousin, is in her own storm. A single mother of twins, she’s been stretching herself thin, waiting on Jayceon Brewer to step up. But a man full of excuses is just another bill she can’t afford. Then there’s Draelon Sims—Draco to the streets. On paper, he’s exactly what she needs. The stepdaddy of all stepdaddies, a provider, and a man who has no problem leading. But his level of toxic? Unmatched. The kind that makes you question whether love should feel like passion or possession. He gives Cali the security she’s been craving, but at what cost?
Meanwhile, Skye Washington is being pulled back into a past she swore she left behind. Monte Morris, the man she once loved, is in a coma, and now she’s being offered a job as his private nurse. Their history is layered with love and regrets, and as she sits at his bedside, she wonders—if he wakes up, does she go back to the woman who once let a man take care of her, or does she finally stand on her own?
Three women, three different battles, all tied to one What does a man truly bring to the table if love alone isn’t enough?
If you love African American romance, unfiltered love stories, and men who make and break the rules, you’ll fall for "I Ain’t No 50/50 Type Of Chick" by Alecia J. And don’t miss her bestselling series, "One Drunk Night In Miami"—where love is just as intoxicating as the city itself.

it was boring to say the least
The storyline wouldve been good had it been written better. I felt like i was going in circles. So many characters my damn head was spinning.

They were so naive.....
To stay with Maleek and Jayceon after all the dirt they've done is crazy to me. I'm glad Monte woke up I'm curious to know who shot him. Draco being the kids father is crazy and I need a minute because that was probably the best plot twist in the entire story because I knew Savvy was the boss from the beginning. Also Kelsie messing with Savvy is craziness and I don't see this ending well for him and Jai.

I added this book to my Kindle Unlimited library in February after watching @britandherbooks's review. I'm so glad that I did because the book is out of print now, and I don't know why! Thankfully, I was still able to read the book in KU, but now I'm concerned that the author didn't get compensated for the pages read.
I didn't find anything in the book that would warrant it being taken down from Amazon, so I don't know what happened.
I hope the author will rerelease it and continue the story, since the book ends on a cliffhanger. Her social media said just a few weeks ago that book 2 was in the works.
As for my review...
This book was messy in all the best ways. Two brothers, their two girlfriends who are WAY out of their league and put up with all their bullshit and infidelity, and a secret millionaire who is determined to show Jai what a boss man could do for her. She struggles with her desires, despite the fact that she knows her man cheats on her every time they argue. What she doesn't know is that his shadiness runs far far deeper, which puts him in a financial bind that leads to impulsiveness and foolishness. The characters are not perfect, but that makes them real. The book is so engaging and I flew through reading it! I seriously hope I will get the chance to read book 2 and find out the rest of their story!

The title speaks for the captivating story, but there's More!!!!
This is a book that might take some people down memory lane!!! This riveting story is about 2 couples Jai Love & Maleek and Cali & Jayceon and the people involved in their lives. The story is Love, Sexy, Lies, abuse, deceit, violence, and much more!! Jai and Cali were both very strong women but sometimes weak for their men lies. The plot, twists, and writing style is outstanding. Alecia J you brought this story to Life!!!! I Enjoyed Savvy, and I can't wait to find out more about him!! I was all for him taking Cali, but I'm not sure now!!!! Dracco living his crazy life and doesn't mind sharing the wealth!! I can't stand that darn Maleek!!!! Now that Kimberlee is a sorry........... !!!!!! I don't want to give the story away, but I guarantee you will not be disappointed by reading it!!!!

😱😱😱😱😱
Jai you in trouble girl. Savvy really a psycho and you gave him the cookie awwee. Maleek and Jayceon are some lame ass bums. Their momma is weird. Draco is a crash dummy but I wonder if he knows those kids are his. Cali ex-friends are weird and haters all in one. Usually I’m able to figure out the plot of stories and with this I can’t that’s how crazy it is. I’m ready for book 2.

Deserve
We as woman want our independence however we don’t want to be the alpha in our relationships. We deserve honest communication, security and respect for all we bring to the table before receiving matrimony.
50/50 is a man is responsible for providing for his families needs and wife is responsible to ensure security for her family.

Whew….what a ride
I mean to each their own, but honey Jai, Cali, and Sky really were out here in some shape or form going 50/50. But listen all it takes is a Savvy, Draco, and Monte to shake things up. Can’t wait to see what happens next. One thing about Alecia J. she is going to give you a good cackle and laugh out loud moment along the way.

Great Read
I need to know what’s going to happen like yesterday! I can see Savvy and Draco now causing hell to get their women because I just know Savvy done set Leek up. Jayceon definitely don’t deserve Cali after the bs he pulled and whew! when Jai find out about Leek’s secret I want to be a fly on the wall

she did it again
Ok if you are new to Alicia J, then pick up her latest read you will not be disappointed…. I’m telling the Gem Dropper dropped some good lines in this one. It’s a couple parts that when you get to them I hope you are not enjoying a snack. So pick up this good read and dive into these characters, it will be worth your time.

Ouuuu Alecia! Back with another hit!
This book started a little slow for me… but soon I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Jai is my girl but baby needs to make up her mind! The obvious choice is right in your face. Cali? Honey needs to let go of that loser and get with the winning team. One of my predictions came true and I can’t wait for the next book!
