It was a good book but I kinda don’t like how they was treating Paris, I mean the girl lack survivor skills & talk to much but let’s be real how df was she going know anything dealing with bigs & oh boy! & the Asia just got out doing 2 years no contact with her “best friend” and never actually talked to her besides that lil club invite

Asia/Brandon vs Damien/Kayla

Baby!!! Kyrie and Paris had me STRESSED from start to finish! The tension? The back and forth between Asia and Brandon vs. Damien and Kayla had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Every move somebody made, somebody else was ready to counter it. It was straight tick for tack. And let’s be clear Big Asia not the little one was not playing with anybody. She stood ten toes down and wasn’t backing off for nobody, and I loved that about her. Now Brandon? If my man ain’t coming like Brandon, I don’t want him! Period. And Mico… yeah, Mico is really crazy for real. Every time he popped up I just knew something wild was about to happen. This book had me stressed, entertained, and fully invested. I already know book 3 is about to take it up ten more notches. I cannot wait!

I really enjoyed this book and loved that it picked right up where Book 1 left off. It felt seamless, like no time had passed, which made it easy to fall right back into the story. You can definitely tell the author is growing—there’s clear improvement in the pacing, character development, and overall flow. It also feels like she truly listened to her readers’ constructive criticism and used it to make this book even stronger. That kind of growth is impressive and appreciated. Keep writing, girl—don’t give up! I’m already waiting on Book 3.

Where is book 3???

Baby you need an award for this series Paradise!!!! When I say jaw dropped throughout the whole book. It had enough of everything to keep you locked in and turning pages. The drama the passion, the BDE, the sex, the laid back family time, the guns blazing its powerful. Kayla and Damien oowee I hope y’all folks got enough black to wear. Ik it’s going down in book 3. 10/10 hands down.

IF YOU HAVENT READ THIS BOOK !! READ IT NOWWWW

Book 2 did not disappoint! The storyline picked up perfectly from the first book and kept me hooked from start to finish. The character development was even stronger, and the emotions felt so real. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Theyyyyy Backkkkk.

Chicago's finest are at it again.. Big Brandon had to show out behind Big A from start to finish. Poor Asia won't be able to take another girls' trip ever again. This book is straight action from start to finish with spice sprinkled in throughout the book. This book ended with a cliffhanger, and I hope baby boy makes it. I hope Paris is with Sky Daddy.

she’s done it again…

Paradise has done it again … this book had me laughing and crying and I loved every second of it. The writing and flow is so easy, it’s not overly wordy and dragged out. It’s a page turner that gives you that fullness that makes you feel like you’re right there in the book with them. I love these characters so much but this cliff hanger got me STRESSED.

[Camri · Rating 4 out of 5]

okay this book definitely redeemed for the first one. it was still a bit all over the place in some parts but for the most part it was good. Brandon don't play about Asia and vice versa. Paris is still my least favorite character I don't know why I don't have a lick of sympathy for that lady. Kyrie makes my blood pressure high. And they need to hurry up and get rid of old boy and his wife ASAP.

FAMILY RIDE OR DIE

I so like how they stay a family no matter what. But I need all this killing to be over. They don’t even start it and Brooke start coming for them. Do I recommend this book yes! Do I believe all these could be one book? Yes. I’ve read 500 pages on my kindle! Stop giving me series under 200 pages!

[ThatsJustJada · Rating 4 out of 5]

I rated the first book lowly for being a bit sporadic and all over the place, but this one was MUCH MUCH better. Better character development, better storytelling, better flow. I cannot express how awesome it is to see such a turnaround! I am happy I gave the second book a try and cannot wait to see how book 3 plays out.

[Readingizmytherapy · Rating 4 out of 5]

whew!

This book has so much going on. Every time Brandon cleans up one thing here comes something else. The way he loves his family is beautiful. Although he fathered one son you can’t tell him his Brothers are not his kids. Oh and him and Ms Asia is tea for sure I love their love! That cliff hanger took me through it and I can’t wait for part 3!

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these books!

Brandon and Asia are everything! I have been waiting for book 2 to drop and I am not disappointed. This was so good the plot was great. I can’t wait for book 3! Please let Mico off the leash!

Definitely a cliff hunger in a great way.

This book is filled with a little urban romance and alot of twist and turns. I was on the edge of my bed waiting to see what happened next. Who's going to find out what.

[Jacknthebooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Paradise Campbell does it again. Book 2 was just as good as book 1. The romance in this book was everything. The way Bigs loved on Asia was the cutest. He literally moved heaven and earth to ensure Asia got not only her needs but wants as well. He made her dreams come true, and the reunion that he made happen almost brought tears to my eyes.

Add in the addition of a new enemy that came out of nowhere. that brought all the action. I was here for every minute of their shenanigans that occurred when they were taking care of the enemy. The funeral scene was hands down one of my favorite scenes. This one does end on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how everything will be resolved.

I’ve seen this book on my TikTok feed so much I gave in and read it. The cliffhanger thoughhhhhh. When is the 3rd book coming out. I love Brandon in this series, and after!!! ❤️❤️❤️. It’s good. So good.

[Stormy Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series was so good. I just gotta say I love how the brother was coming about each other and Brandon that Man don’t play about his wife and his son at all and he don’t give a fuck about nothing but Ky though ? I just hope there is a part three coming to this.

[Meme · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yo Kyrie better not fucking die!!! Brandon holding him and kissing his face brought tears to my eyes 😫 Is it bad I want Paris to die but not the baby? 😂🤔

[Brittany English · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I can say is wow The way this just ended I should have waited for book 3 to come out first. Book 2 did not disappoint at all.
