Book II was good. The ending will lead into the next book. I hope its the last one in this saga.

I need the final one now! I loved the different POVs and how everyone is linked and just kept you guessing what would happen next

Trauma twist and turns
I had no idea that this story would be a three piece meal! But I keep coming back for more. I am back on the edge of my seat. How much more can these two bear? Prime an Salman have been through he'll and back only to be plunge d back into distress again.
If you are looking for a book series that leaves you shocked at the amount of distress a couple can survive while needing the HEA because they've been thorough enough and it's time for them to just be...normal? But badass too? Then this is the series that will feed that need. I love PRIME my heart is soft for him because at a young age his mother sacrificed him to the prison pipeline. He survived but it cost him a piece of his humanity.
I love Zainab/Zahara her love for family intelligence and survival skills are what has kept her and Yuesef alive.
It's the many enemies and threats that keep bodies stacking and traumatic problems for people who come for them. And,so I wait impatiently for part 3. Because one thing for sure there will be bloody retribution.

OMGOSH… where do I even begin without ruining this for everybody else? 😮💨
This book had me emotionally invested from start to finish. I am more than ready—overdue ready—for Zainab and Yusef to finally get the happy ending they deserve. The way they’ve been tested? Whew.
Now let’s talk about the villains because baby… I am tired. I am so over Vivica and Rashid. And while karma has already started clocking Rashid right on schedule ⏰, I am patiently (and aggressively) waiting for Vivica to get everything that’s coming to her. No crumbs. Full plate.
That ending though???
Absolutely did not see it coming.
One of those endings that makes you sit there like: “Wait… WHAT?!” and immediately need the next book.
This installment was tension, drama, loyalty, betrayal, and slow-burn payoff all wrapped in one. If you’re locked into The Banks Empire, just know—this one hits.
Phoenix & Spice approved.
If he didn’t shake your spirit, he didn’t make the shelf 🌶️🔥

Prime II: The Banks Empire
Oh my goodness!!! Lawd, this series is so good!! The plot twist, the unhinged madness, Grandma Rita with her comic relief. This is some good reading.
First, I knew Rashid wasn't who he portrayed himself to be. He had an ulterior motive when it came to Prime. True, he wanted him to take over his empire but only if he stayed in line. And Prime would have if Rashid hadn't messed with his family.
Then there is Vivica's trifling ass. Who needs a mother like her? No one. She can kick rocks. Her day is coming, and I don't know if it will be Prime, Zainab, one Mehar who delivers justice. Something tells me Mehar is not going to let this slide.
Next up Thad. I can't wait until Prime finds out about what he did to Zahara and Farah. His days are numbered.
This is an awesome series. I can't wait for the finale!!!

I couldn’t wait for part 2 to come out, so much so that I stopped reading my current book to see what was going on with Prime! This book is amazing! It’s filled with character depth, spice, action, drama, and secrets exposed. We’re also introduced to new characters and I’m looking forward to seeing how their story unfolds. I can tell you one thing, I am so sick of Vivica lol… I mean she has it all. Why can’t she just let her kids be? I need a happy ending in part 3 lol. In the mean time I’m going to hop over to the King brothers and see what’s up with them while I wait for part 3. This is a must read!

Straight fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am so ready to read the next installment! Prime is the man all day everyday!! Zainab been holding it down and she finally realizes her dream until that thang that is Prime’s egg donor messes that up. I won’t give it all away but that thang that is Prime’s egg donor needs her a** straight whooped! I don’t even want to say her name. Lol
Yusef… that’s all I can say except I hope he starts back playing chess and the piano. Mehar is going to be hell and I cannot wait to see it. It was good to see the Kings show up too. This read is EVERYTHING!!

N'Dia Girl...
part 2 is great follow up to the first part. I love the crossovers between the Kings and Banks. Crazy how all of their lives were connected. Two issues: 1) Why didn't you categorize these on amazon so people know its book 1 of 3? sometimes I like to know its a series before I jump right in. especially helpful of you came here from the King series and they're all standalones 2) Why is Rashid, Farah, and Kasim alive? Even in the fiction world, a man like Prime would have left no loose ends and that's 3 in the same family lol patiently waiting for part 3

Awesome Book 🔥🩷🔥🩷🔥
This series is so good I can’t wait for part three. They have woken the beast up in Prime. They know he doesn’t play about the people he loves. His mother needs to pay for all her evil deeds. I hope he has the video of her and her assistant since she wants to play with his woman freedom. Prime and Zainab makes a beautiful couple, can’t wait for their happy ever after, also I feel so bad for Yusef he just wants to be a happy carefree boy. I feel that Prime will help him speak again. N’Dia keep up the great work.

Prime & Prime II were my first introduction to this author... And she did not disappoint! Calculating, ruthless, loyal and sexy...that's Prime. I cheered for Zainab, Mehar and Grandma Rita. My heart broke for Yusef. And at the end, I actually felt sorry for Farrah. These characters take you through so many emotions but the story was more than satisfying. Can't wait to read more of N'Dia Dad's work.

Now N'Dia why did you send my blood pressure up with that ending. How I wanted to come through this book and do something bad to Rashid, Vivica, and Farah. But I can lie I felt away about Prime cutting her whole ear off then Thad violated her. And Vivica ouuuuweeeee she played the game dirty so when you take her down through DERE!!!! Do her so dirty. And if audacity was a person it gotta be THAD.... And when it's his turn make his get back slow and painful.

N’Dia Rae Put HER foot in this book!
The first book ended on that cliffhanger which had me shook. But THIS WHOLE book, just wow. I had no clue. Sometime you can get a feel for what happens next, zero clues. Some much drama and crazy, shocking stuff. I’m so excited for book 3. Check out my full review on Gabyreadsandraves on Instagram

Action and action!
Wow, just wow! A lot of drama, trauma, and commented love! A like more romance and this was a whole lot of drama with little romance mixed in. Prime & Zainab are such great characters, that I couldn't put the book down. The side characters were interesting and intriguing. Bring on Prime three!

N’dia has done it again
The cliffhanger has me hanging…. Listen pick up book 1 of Prime’s story and get his perspective. Don’t get mad at the end now that part 2 is ready. This portion answered a lot of the unanswered questions and closes a lot of the open loopholes from the first part. But if you know her then you know it’s never over until she says so.

PRIME
I’ve finished both books and they were sooooo good. I didn’t expect Thad to be the guy that killed her sister; actually thought it was Rashid for a minute. I knew something was coming because the Mayor was not letting that slap go. Can’t wait to see what happens in Prime III.

Unbelievable
What a dramatic sequel this is! Got my heart in a chokehold. I don't know rather I'm coming or going.
This story is so captivating! Every time I think we've gotten over a major hurdle, here comes some other mountain we got to get over. You surprised us with Thad, I can't wait to see what happens to him.
VIVECA GOT TO GO!

I think the author was too eager to get this book out because the editing absolutely sucks. Names wrong. Events from book 1 described wrong in book 2. Even the funeral was wrong and that happened in the same book. It’s like the author forgot what she even wrote. And the random colorism?? Very pointless. Not sure if I’ll even read book 3

Prime is that man. He doesn’t play about his goddess. I hate the villains in the story. I want to kill them myself just that bad they were horrible Vivian Farah and Rashid. All of them deserve what has come and is coming to them. I hate what they did to Yusuf. I hope he comes back to life & that therapy Helps.

Explosive 👏🏽
This was so good! I love the character development from book one until now! The backstories sealed the deal for me! So over Vivica! Ready for her to get hers! And for Zainab and Yusuf to get their happily ever after. They deserve it!
I’m locked in! Excited for part 3!

Oh My Goodness!
Book 2 did not disappoint. There were some questions answered,and so much darkness! I’m glad that Zainab’s story with her family got some resolution, I wonder what will happen with Mehta? She should get with Justice. The twist at the end??? Omg. I cannot WAIT for book 3 to drop!

N'Dia, this read had me screaming. I had all kinds of emotions reading this. Some questions were answered other's are still unanswered. The hurt I felt while reading was unbearable at times. Although, it was a lot of sadness, it was a lot of growth, love and unexpected situations. I can't wait to see what happens next. I hope Yusef can come back. Vivian will get hers hopefully. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

PRIME! PRIME! PRIME!
This story pulls out all your feelings. I want to kick Prime's mom. I can't wait until she gets her justice. Can we fix Yousef? No, child should have to keep experiencing such a hard life. Z.. stay strong and can not wait until 3. Prime is coming for everyone.

Wow. I love me some Prime. He could be sweet but rudeless at the same time. But Vivica is one vicious woman. Can wait to read part 2.
Thank you I really enjoy the book.
