Only the Real Prosper
Teonny’s life changed the night her abusive husband and four-year-old daughter died in a home invasion gone wrong.
Five years have passed, and she vowed to never love another human being again.
Prosper isn’t trying to hear none of that though. The moment he saw Teonny was the moment he knew she was the one.
For three years, they saw each other at the local gun range, getting familiar with one another. Still, Teonny refuses to let her guards down with him, but when men shoot up the gun range, aiming for Prosper, they take the threat down together and are forced to go into hiding.
The thing about hiding is that love can easily blossom there, and that’s exactly the case for Teonny and Prosper. Her guards slip, and love feels as natural as breathing with him.
But when Teonny’s past surfaces, and she learns that her biggest heartbreak may be tied up in Prosper’s current street beef, everything crumbles.
Teonny’s life is once again thrown into chaos. Now, she has the decision to trust the love she built with Prosper or let it die.

A good story

That plot twist was not what I expected.

Great read
Very fast pace, loved that Prosper waited for her to be open and reciprocal to him and what he had to offer. That man was patient for 3 years, he knew what he wanted. TEONNY really did go through hard times with the loss of her daughter. Finding out that twist, damn I expected some of it but not the whole thing to be that disrespectfully diabolical. Damn Cyn just always writes captivating characters and storylines 💜💜
When I tell you Prosper was my type of man. That man knew what he wanted and was consistent for 3 years with teonny. He was patient and protecting of her. Teonny after everything that she had been through deserved to live a soft life and when she really opened up to him, she was able to be free and love someone who would never hurt her. I didn't really like Teonny mom, I felt like something was not right there, I agree with Prosper. I knew her mom was flaw, Damn the secrets that came coming...oh shit I def didn't see that. I don't feel bad for Teonny mom, she a awful bitch, i mean doing all that and knowing that her daughter dead husband use to beat her, that is some F*ck sh*t. Teonny getting the final say in how to handle things was the most hurtful and comforting thing I have read. My heart ached bad but I was happy she got her revenge but also got to live without having to take a life physically. I love how affirming Prosper was and that he really had her back in the best way.

Love, jealousy, abuse, war, and peace
It hurts when the person you love abuses you and dont care. Teonny went through a lot. It is sad to see women go through abuse. They dont always know how to leave.
It hurtful to see that a robbery cost her losing her baby. She was able to get out of the relationship.
Teonny meeting Prosper was a blessing. She didn't know how to allow another man in after going through everything. It took someone coming after Prosper for Teonny to open up.
It was horrible to find out that Teonny on mother cause her to lose her daughter. You never know who your enemy is or who is jealous of you. I want angry, hurt, and cried from reading when Prosper found out it was Tameka that did everything. I am so glad everyone involved got what they need.
The end was beautiful. I am glad Prosper and Teonny were able to go and live their happy lives.

prosperrr
This was a bangerrr!! Teonny experienced a loss no woman should have to go through and closed herself off from love, but babyyy in comes Daddy Patrick “Prosper”. This man applied pressure for three years and came through on everything he said he was and wasnt gonna do. CYN Strikes again this was a 10/10

Only the Real Prosper
This was a very loving lord Tory. But I didn’t see it coming for what her mom did to her own granddaughter. But she got what she deserved.

Cyn!! What a storyteller ma'am! 🥰 My emotions were in overload as I felt for Teonny, and the treatment she received at the hands of her husband! 🤬 Then her worst fear is realized, when she loses her husband and daughter, in a home invasion/robbery! She could care less about her husband, but her sweet Angel! 💔 Teonny spends the next few years trying to heal her heart, mind, and spirit from her trauma. She found solace in the gun range. Promising herself that she would never again be put in a situation where she couldn't protect herself or her loved ones! There she meets the handsome and persistent Prosper. Although she is not interested in men or love for that matter!
When an incident at the gun range puts both Teonny and Prosper in harm's way, they go into hiding together until they figure out what happened. While there Teonny's defenses lower, and she becomes more receptive to Prosper's advances, to his delight.
The pieces are coming together about the ambush and Prosper doesn't know what to do with the information he has learned. When Teonny finds out all that went down on the night that changed her life, she is hurt and angry! 🥹🤬 She never in a million years would have thought that this person/person's would have been involved!! Just grimy! 🤯😤 An already fragile Teonny then spirals into further despair! 😢 But Prosper would not let his girl go through this alone. He would be there with her every step of the way, until he is able to bring her smile back. What a read! 👍🏿👍🏿

Y’all… this book had me HOOKED from page one.
We follow Teonny, an ex-photographer who’s been through hell—her daughter and abusive husband were killed in a home invasion, and now she’s scared to let anyone back into her heart. She doesn’t know who to trust anymore… and honestly? I didn’t either. 😩
Then comes Prosper—aka Patrick. A street nigga with a soft spot, a protector, a lover, the kind of man who steps in right when her world is falling apart. Chemistry? CRAZY. The tension? EVEN CRAZIER. 🔥
Just when you think things are settling… family secrets start dropping left and right. I was clutching the book like 😳 the whole time.
If you like trauma, healing, hood love, and secrets that shake the whole plot—yeah, this one’s for you.

My mouth was on the floor after Ghost told all the secrets 😳
You don’t need enemies when you have a mom like Teonny’s. Her mother was behind ALL of her pain & trauma. Hell is hot!
Prosper came in her life & never left. He protects, love, & speak positivity over Teonny. Those three years of chasing her at the gun range finally paid off 😏

The right Love
Prosper had the right love to heal and restore Teonny! I’m so glad they bonded and protected each other as soon as danger showed up. I felt bad for Teonny her own momma 🤦🏽♀️

Great story
I love how Prosper and Tenant came together. Prosper knew what he wanted and was intentional about it. Trophy deserved a man like Prosper, she went through so much. It's a must read!
