The way that book one ended, I was sure there would be some upcoming drama. Surprisingly, or maybe not, Banks took it all in stride. He is all in with Braylen, and nothing or no one will come between their love. Braylen, however, is torn. She is battling with her mind and heart with what to do with the information she just learned. As always Banks comes in for the save and eases every single fear she has.

That damn Kyrie is delusional as hell. Cause sir, why would she want you back? 👀😤 You still haven't learned your lesson, continuing to do all the things that caused the rift in the first place! Then have the audacity to be pissed that she doesn't want you and has happily moved on! 🤯 You gets no sympathy here! 🤷🏿‍♀️

Miss Vita hit the gold mine when she met Victor. He was so mysterious at first, that I thought he may have had ill intentions, but that was just his way. He took to Vita quickly and brought her into his world. Chile... that boutique scene 😜 What kinda relationship Victor and Monique got going on? 👀 Then to find out the world is literally so small that people who you would never think are connected are! 🤯

Glad that Braylen and Vita got their happily ever after. I was so surprised when I learned Banks' backstory. It was so sweet that he too got what his heart desired. Good finale! 👍🏿👍🏿

This wasn’t needed…

Yeah, I’m not really sure how I feel about this one. Was a book two really necessary? Absolutely not. Vita didn’t play a big enough role in book one to justify a whole sequel, so this felt pretty pointless.

(Spoiler Alert) — The fact that she was dating Banks’ father and then ended up marrying him and the end of the book??😂 The ending felt so rushed. One minute Braylen has the baby, and the next, in the epilogue, Vita’s getting married. Like… what??? And for Banks being such a careful criminal he didn’t know that someone had tapped into his system? I really don’t like DNFing books, so I finished this series just to see if it would get better and it didn’t. Lol This honestly felt like a Tubi movie in book form.

Small World!!

Kyrie is doing the exact same thing that cost him, his wife. Does he really think Braylen actually wants to come back to him? He did pawn her off to another man with nothing to show for it. Braylen and Banks were living the life of luxury. Banks introduced Braylen to his parents all long that is Vita's man. Vita wanted that for herself, Victor enters her life and spoilers her. If Banks and his friends are paranoid like that they ought to find a legal profession. Kyrie just couldn't leave well enough alone now he's dead and they are raising (his) their son. Fate has a funny way introducing someone back into their lives. They both got their happily ever after.

This sequel came in smooth. Banks stayed solid the whole time...calm, present, and fully invested. He didn’t just love Braylen, he reassured her every step of the way, and it worked.

Braylen was torn, trying to trust her heart while unlearning old wounds. Her struggle felt honest, and watching her settle into something safe was the highlight.

And Kyrie? Still operating on pure delusion. 😒
No growth, no accountability, just the same behavior that lost her in the first place.

Victor and Monique brought mature heat and surprise chemistry, and Vita added softness that tied everything together. The way everyone’s stories intertwined made the ending feel full and intentional.

Bold, emotional, and satisfying. Definitely a strong follow-up.

Soft Love, Real Growth, No Delusion Allowed!

whewww!!!

My jaw is to the FLOOR!! My panties are SOAKED!!! This is how you WRITE! This is how you keep a reader captivated & coming back for more! Kyiris did not come to play. Kyrie played a stupid game & won stupid prizes. Banks stood on everything he said & completely changed Braylen’s life for the better. VICTOR & MONIQUE … wheewwww 🥵 GROWN & SEXY! Vita didn’t know what hit her but chile I was in pure BLISS reading those scenes! The love making between the characters was soul snatching & tear jerking. I have no words. This series is a 10 outta 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent Read

Banks came in determined!! Kyrie played right into his hands with that bet and Banks ran all the way to Braylen’s heart with it!! I loved that Braylen finally chose her own happiness and got her happily after!! Victor and Vita’s whirlwind romance was the cherry on top!! She deserved her happily ever just from the way she rode for Braylen!! Five stars Ms. Ashley!!🥰

Welp

Kyrie was delusional af!! Like, he shoulda been gave up but nooooo, he had to “get his wife back by any means necessary!” 🤣🤣🤣💁🏾‍♀️ Braylen was in her soft girl era after she met Banks and she wasn’t comin up off him! Vita nasty and i love that for her! They were all meant to be connected lol Spice was okay, i wouldn’t consider this a dark romance for real for real but i liked it!!

What Would You Do If You Were Pregnant by the Ex NOT the Current Love???

This was good. I was in my emotional book feelings at the end of book one, but Kyiris has relaxed the mood.

Banks and Bray were always meant to be together and Kyrie was always just in the way!!
BUT
Banks and Bray story is not what made this book a solid read... it was driving into Vita and Victor story. I was a little concerned about Vita after comments made in Book One👀👀 but watching her and Vic learn to trust and love was crazy, sexy and cool.

4/5 I recommend

Promissory!!!!

It’s rare to have the sequel out shine the first but I was here for All of it! The moment I realized Vic and Monique had waaaay more in common, I was all in.

Bye, Bye, Kyrie!

Good Ending

A good ending to a story that is well worth the read. These characters are likeable and well developed. With the craziness of a storyline with a few twist and surprises I couldn't get enough.

Kyiris Ashley did that! The Promissory 2 was the perfect wrap-up. Kyrie was absolutely delusional in this book and had me yelling at the pages. I’m so glad Braylen finally got her happiness with Banks. Also, can we talk about Vic?! 🥵 A 10/10 read for me!

what.

This was just, too much! I do not agree with what Braylen and Banks ended up doing. Vita and Vic and Monique-No words.
