Surrogate To a Corporate Savage
She never expected to see him again…
He never expected to need her.
Kyomi Rivers is running out of options. With eviction breathing down her neck, a little brother to raise, and a mother caught in the grip of addiction, desperation pushes her toward a high-paying surrogacy program—one she hoped would be simple. No ties, no drama.
But fate has other plans.
Yasiah Holt is powerful, wealthy, and cold-blooded when it comes to business—and women. But when a contract worth millions hinges on him “having a family,” he agrees to a surrogate arrangement… only to come face-to-face with the last woman he thought he’d ever see again.
Their past is messy. The chemistry is dangerous, and neither of them is ready for what comes next.
Old secrets. Unfinished business.
A deal that was supposed to be all business just turned personal.
In this enemies-to-lovers urban tale, love doesn’t come easy, and trust can be lethal.
Some deals can’t be undone, and some flames never die.

Okay then!
The chemistry between Kyomi and Yasiah is electric. Her little brother is adorable and I am looking forward to the next installment.

Keisha you know you wrong
Girl you cut that story off right when they was about to do the nasty. Girl you wrong for that. I been ready for them to get busy. I got a strong feeling that call about to be about the mom running away from rehab facility. You can’t save everybody. This lady lost her virginity, got pregnant, had a miscarriage then to end of being a surrogate all by that same man. This was a good quick read. Ready for book 2.

SPOILER ALERT 🚨
Whoooshhh! Imagine telling someone you’re pregnant and they tell you “that’s not my problem” and bounce? Then turn around and find out that same man is who you’re surrogating for? Not to mention you lost the first child and this man was your first and only…Gurllllll just messy. Then you end up falling for the man. Lawd. Book 1 was a good read.

For the most part the storyline is okay. Kyomi needs to grow up and stop with all that attitude. I would understand if Yasiah was being an a hole but he’s not. Honestly I think it’s too much going on and the cliffhanger just didn’t make any sense to me

Kyomi’s attitude is blowing me. How you mad at a man you had a one-night stand with when you didn’t even care to know his name? You let him take your virginity, got pregnant, and now somehow everything is his fault. He wasn’t ready to be a father, understandable for a man you met one night, but how you blaming him for your miscarriage because you were stressed? Be serious.
Then she signs up to be a surrogate and finds out that very same man is the father … and she STILL doesn’t care to know his name. Child. The storyline was already weak, but her anger is so forced it becomes unbelievable. Nothing about her reaction makes sense because nothing about her situation was mature to begin with.
Kyomi needs to take accountability. A baby was the last thing she needed while she’s taking care of her 10-year-old brother, dealing with a drug-addicted mother, and barely keeping the bills paid. How about realizing YOU weren’t ready either.
Her whole attitude had me rolling my eyes. None of her anger matched the reality of the situation.

Author wrote this off straight vibes.
If you’re going to write about something why not research what you’re writing about?
The whole surrogate portion of the book gave off the author didn’t know a thing about what she’s writing about & that says a lot because I also don’t know a lot about this topic but I know enough to know this author also don’t know what she talking about.
The MMC was rude & mean as hell even after knowing what he did to her.
The FMC gives she don’t think. Nothing going on in that head of hers.
I’m trying to understand what woman in their right mind would still put up with a man who told them straight up they didn’t want their child & the way he reacted when he found out she loss the child??? He made it sound like they was talking bout the weather.
The fact that they had a one night stand that ended up that way didn’t need to be a part of the book tbh. Because the relevancy of that should have ended with her hating that man & not in lust with him 2 days after he was treating her horrible after finding out about what happen to their child.
Like picture this: the man you lose your virginity to that resulted in a pregnancy & when you told him about it, he basically said he didn’t want it. Fast forward you down bad & need money so you apply to be a surrogate & boom it’s that same man. Yall meet & you tell him what happen to the child & he reacts in such a way that’s basically says he didn’t care but gave a half off apology & 2 days later you flirting & lusting after him??? Ridiculous right? Right. Unrealistic.
The brother had no type of character. I spend most of the book trying to figure out what age he is. If the
Author wrote what age he was, must have slipped my mind but even then, he had no personality. For her to be that close to her brother they didn’t really had scenes where I felt like she was being a good sister. Besides her feeding him. He always at school, her friends house or doing something.
Also the amount of bit**ch in this book is ridiculous. My & my girls don’t ever call ourselves by the term & it’s very rare if ever if we do. It was cringe how much it came out their mouth to each other in on conversation like eww.
Not reading the next book.

Let me make it right!
Definite page turner and keeps you locked in. Kyomi has been dealt a tough hand. She has so many responsibilities and the weight of the world on her shoulders. Yasiah is wealthy but seems unfulfilled and he’s living a life where enough is never enough. They share a history that happens to be brought to light when they cross each other’s path in a journey they’re forced to take together. Kyomi doesn’t make things easy for him she displays toughness and survival like a badge of honor. Together they are entertaining 😂😂 but soon a spark brings conflicting memories and desires to the forefront. As they continue the journey the past and people from it continuously disturb the little peace they have. It’s funny, real, and teaches forgiveness and letting go of the past. 10/10 . I’m headed to book 2

So… I ate this book up in one day! Pulled an all nighter for it! What I liked about this book was I couldn’t put it down! It definitely held my interest and I wanted to know what was next! It was a slow burn. Usually I love smut but this book is great without all the smut which means it is genuinely a really good book. The only reason I took a star off is because I feel the author may need a better editor. I found several places where sentences seemed to be missing, using the wrong pronouns accidentally (he/she) speaking and places where more details were needed…
However I am still invested in the series and I cannot wait to read book 2!

I’m almost done with book 3. I won’t say the book was horrible, but what I will say is the conversations within the story is very immature I felt like a child wrote this story. All the “don’t guess me” and every 5 mins “can I ask you a question?” it just seemed too immature for me its like it was a story line between kids. The responses they gave each other to a lot of the conservations just seemed it wasn’t thought out thoroughly. I chose to get this far bc I wanna know the outcome of this entire surrogacy thing not bc the story is to brag for.

Blast From The Past!!
Kymori didn't think when she signed up for the surrogacy who it was for. She didn't know surrogacy for the guy she gave her virginty to. Mya is jealous of Kymori because she didn't get chose. Mya better be careful because Kymori isn't going to be pregnant for much longer. Yasiah wasn't choosing anyway. Everyone keeps talking about them together and a beautiful couple. Dinner with his parents was a disaster. His father and his business partner kept flirting with her and his mana kept making snide remarks towards her. The sexual tension is going pop.

I need part two ASAP!
Now they ain't hunched all book but then they wanna do it at the end🙄🤣.....Im sick of them, they need to get it together for the sake of their unborn child because clearly they both feeling each other. I love how ride or die her best friend is, I lowkey hope she gets with one of Yasiahs good friends. I'm still trying to figure out why he doesn't just hire MiMi as his assistant that way he can keep an eye on her while she's pregnant.

No , just no. Immature writing. iReally wish authors did research on what they are writing about. Surrogacy does not work like this.
Then the MMC and his boys are joking about her losing their baby ??? huh ? thats bar banter these days ? iAlso didnt like how they kept saying “no cap” lol
Was this book terrible ? no. Will iContinue to read this series ? absolutely not. iDont even understand why there is a book 2 & 3. Completely unnecessary IMO.

Umm…
I gave it 3 stars because I have mixed emotions about it. The storyline was good but I feel like it’s being drug out and rushed at the same time. Idk I’m just gone wait to see how part 2 is. Even though it could’ve been a standalone. Overall it’s an okay read

This was a good book with the back-and-forth between the main character’s lasted too long. I feel like they could’ve been got over the whole thing cause we all knew and they were gonna get together and I don’t like the ending and where is part two

Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't think it would be this good. I like all the characters. I like the buildup. I like how the plot is executed. I prefer longer stories but this was an entertaining quick read. Now onto part 2.

Surrogate Love
Great start thus far! I'm interested in what happened to Kyomi mama! Also why does Yasiah take so much from his father! Hopefully, Yasiah and Kyomi get their act together for the sake of their baby! Onto part 2!
