The Way I Love You
RE-RELEASE
(Previously published under the titles, Another Man’s Treasure & Can’t Just Be His Friend)
Friendship. Love. Jealousy.
Tiffany Waters has loved her best friend Reggie Howard for as long as she can remember. Reggie’s never seen her as more than a friend—and besides, he has a girlfriend. Deciding to move on from her infatuation with Reggie, she accepts her mother’s request to go on a blind date with Derrick Brooks, a successful and irresistibly charming marketing executive.
Now that Tiffany has a boyfriend, Reggie suddenly realizes he missed out. He ends things with his girlfriend and sets out to prove he’s the only man who deserves Tiffany’s heart. Torn between the man she’s always wanted and the one who’s offering her everything she never knew she needed, Tiffany must decide which man she wants.

I am exhausted
This couple had me running around trying get them on the same page for most of their story. Reggie and Tiffany were best friends from childhood. She loved him and he loved her. However, their chemistry did not ring true to me. Both of them were childishly moody. I never understood why characters worry about ruining a friendship over building a relationship based on their friendship. Anyway..Reggie being hyperfocused on being with Tiffany and Tiffany's reticence was the time when I almost went to find and shake them both. The ending was a soft landing for the pair. Stay with this one, it will be okay.

Whew 😰
ny’s journey took me on a ride I never saw coming. Without giving away any details, I’ll just say buckle up because this is a true roller coaster 🎢💥. I felt happy 😊, sad 😢, angry 😡, and even a little remorseful 😔 at times.
Tiffany had two loves: Reggie, her childhood sweetheart 💕, and Derrick, who entered her life in adulthood 🌟. The twists and turns between them make this an unexpected and awesome read 🤯📖. Go ahead and dive in—you won’t regret it! 📚✨💯

Love the Author, Hated the Story
Tina Martin is a good story teller. A good book will make you feel SOMETHING, and this book did that. I felt disgusted with literally every character in the book except Derrick. Tiffany was weak, Reggie, his mom, AND Tiffany’s mom were overbearing, manipulative, and controlling. The further along I got in the book, the more disgusted I felt. By the end I had to finish and now I’m mad that that I did.

The way I love you
Long but so good. I cried when CA started in the story. A CA survival I can see how blessed I am. Love is so important to you when you have to go through this disease. I felt every thing Tif had to experience. The baby will always help her remember his love and the new love in her life. Good book.
