A fake relationship, forbidden love, and the woman caught in the middle of it all. Divine vowed to do anything in her power to help the family get out of a jam, especially when she realizes that she’s the one responsible for their troubles.

Liam has to make the choice between leaving the woman he loves behind or standing back and watching her pretend to date another man. A love triangle is the last thing he wants to be part of but living without Divine proves to be easier said than done. In the harrowing finale to their love story, Divine and Liam fight to find the answer to an age old question. Is love enough?

If anything for the family needed a poster child - this was it! The leaps and bounds Divine had to go through for the family was wild. And she didn’t really even do anything, other than love Liam and get rid of that lame in Sherrod! The family literally threw her in the lions den with Zane and I was sick of it! Zane was the worst kind of man! Thank goodness for Liam, because who knows what Zane would have done fr. This book was a wild ride and I was so anxious to see how it turned out. Good read for me. 😩😩

Divine II
This was a bit fluffy for me. After the cliffhanger from the first Divine story, I couldn’t wait til this one was released to find out about the arrangement the boys had for Divine and to see if Liam and Divine would finally get their happily ever after. I was pleased that they did reach their happily ever after but the path to get there was a lot when you add in this fake dating arrangement between Divine and Zane all because he had some incriminating evidence against her and Liam. I feel all that could have been avoided had Divine allowed Liam to talk to her brother and cousins like he wanted instead of them sneaking around or her entertaining others for the sake of fighting her feelings for Liam. I definitely felt Divine was childish at times even though she kept saying she wanted her brother and cousins to stop treating her like a little girl, but it took almost two whole stories before she finally stood on business and demanded they allow her to love Liam and for them to be together
If you read the previous story or even the other stories for Divine’s brother and cousins, then you will likely want to get this conclusion like I did. I can’t say this wasn’t an enjoyable read because I did like it, I just wish we could have gotten more of Liam and Divine together more instead of majority of this story having them apart and her being forced into a fake dating situation with somebody else.

DIVINE & LIAM
Overall, it was a good story. After the ending of part 1, I was wondering how things were going to end with Divine and Liam. After their enemy was handled, im glad they got to enjoy their relationship freely and live happily ever after.

Ok, I’m not mad at Divine anymore….
When part 1 ended I was all the way upset at homegirl for how she was doing my boy Liam, and was on my way to those same feelings and was ready to have on sight beef with Bishop, Maven, and Psalm…please believe me, because that Zane? Yea, I’ll let you draw that conclusion when you read it! But I am thoroughly satisfied with the way this one ended. Did I start it close to midnight and didn’t stop reading until I was done….and did. I know that this couple could not catch a break. All relationships go through peaks and valleys but omg, at every turn they were met with adversity. But, whoever said all you need is love definitely had Liam and Divine in mind. Oh, and let’s not forget my man Syre doing what he does best! All Gas and No Sense behind those that he loves and cares about! Please read the first one then follow it up quickly with this because you will not be disappointed. Tatum James knows how to keep us all the way locked in rooting for these characters. I am a forever fan, great job Ms. Tatum James!

"Divine II" by Tatum
I wasn’t sure what to make of Divine in book one. If spoiled, self-involved and play-in-a-ninjas-face was a person, that was her.
Can't say I was eager to read the sequel. I'm glad I did!
This wrap up gave what it had to give and what we have come to expect of the Reign Dynasty! 💁🏾♀️Well, my baby Syre cause his brothers & cuz were trip-ping!!
While a playlist was not included, let me tell u I was jamming right along with the characters and their music selections! So I know the writer who was vibing while writing this book!
Tic-tick-boom Liam was not the one to play with when it came to his Boo!
🤭 Ooh chile, of all the times to get caught, lol! IYKYK. If you don't go read the book and find out!!
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed 😉

Redemption Successful
The way I got scared as hell. Tatum James is on time out for my own sanity.
I would say Divine redeemed herself from how she did my man Liam in book 1. However, some of her actions were still childish. I get wanting to be looked at as an adult buy like Liam told her, at what cost.
Also, the boys pissed me off. The only one with good sense was Sire until he did what he did at Divine house. I just knew things were going to escalate, but Liam is a "G."
Now I want to know what will happen next because.... Yeah, if you read this book, you know exactly what I am speaking on.

Divine II
Yes Tatum, you did your big one with this series Ma. I love everything about the Dark Reign Dynasty. Syre is still my favorite with Psalm and Maven running a close second.
And Ms. Divine is my girl. She was the princess, but I appreciated her independence. And Liam, whew Chile....yes ma'am I'll take one for 200 Alex.
I'm happy that they got their happily ever after, and that guys finally realized that Divine was grown. Liam was the perfect match for her and them.
Fabulously in love with the Dynasty!!!!!

Whew!
This story pulls on so many emotions. At one moment you are sick and tired, the next you are also ready to go to war about my boy Liam feelings. Little Miss Divine takes you through it. But the story is in the details. It’s worth the read. Tatum James did this series justice. Jump in and see where all of the craziness ends!

Divine intervention
Book two felt like a much needed deep breath. Divine and Liam were meant to be together. Her overbearing family just needed to take a seat and leave grown folks alone. I wish my family would use me as a bargaining tool. Thankfully, Liam was not only her bodyguard, he would always come back for her. This story was a good read.

I enjoyed book 2 I loved how Divine stood up for her Liam relationship. I also liked how Royelle stood beside her when she texted her on Syre. I didn’t like Zane overly cocky self. Overall I enjoyed the series.

I loved how Divine was willing to go through the trenches for her man, she was willing to stand up for the love she knew she deserved. And Liam was just the man to be able to do it..

I AM just overwhelmed with Liam and Divines ending. I literally felt like I was in the book with them. You're truly something special with your writing. This is by far my favorite of all time.

Well thank God for Liam…Divine’s brothers surely had a hard time protecting their princess in this one. Zane was unhinged but Liam was playing about Divine.

I’m happy Divine finally got her man and left homeboy alone. It was a slow read but it was worth it.

Tatum, now you did your big one with Divine.
Liam was not to be played with when it came to Divine...
Syre, thought he was gonna punk him and that's when he knew.
This was a awesome read girl...

Wow!!
I absolutely love this family but they get on my nerves all at the same time!! Tatum redeemed herself after the way she ended book one and held on to her spot in my top 5 favorite authors.
The continuation of Lee Lee and Cookie’s relationship with all the drama was well written and made me fall in love with them even more. Liam and Syre are one and the same and truthfully Liam got a little bit of Bishop, Maven, and Jimmie Neutron, that’s why she let him in to build the friendship and ended up falling for him cause we all know he feel first.
They always do my best friend wrong by not trusting him with the truth, yeah he crazy and very overprotective but still tell him the truth, let him overreact and then his wife will get him together and he will be fine. That’s why I love my best friend Syre with his crazy self.
I loved the ending of this book but at the same time I want more from this family. So with that I definitely recommend this book and the whole Reign Dynasty Series to you.

Absolutely loved the finale. I know there has to be more to Divine and Liam, please, and thank you! Divine finally understood how much Liam loved her, baby he was making folks disappear! I love how Divine went against her brothers and went to see about Liam during his time of loss. He played hard, but he knew that Divine was genuine. Once Divine told him everything g regarding the fake relationship, Zane didn't stand a chance. He was trifling.
Liam was that dude, and he definitely fit in with Divine brothers and cousins.
Once Divine and Liam.were.able.to get o. the same page, I knew marriage and a baby were right around the corner
Syre was a whole mess, but he knew that Liam was just as much like him and would protect Divine at all cost. He just walked in on what he knew was bound to happen!
Great ending!

I loved it!
Divine and Liam were in love, trying to hide it from her cousins and brothers! A past indiscretion had Divine acting as the superficial lamb to save the family from war but when Syre discovers they are together, things get tough. It all worked out in the end, Zane Whitmore was dealt with and they got their HEA!

Tatum. I love Divine, Her growth was so
good. It's hard being a girl in the world of the Reigns. She had choices to make that made her act accordingly.
Liam was everything to me He stood strong on his square and never faltered on his decision.
