I enjoyed reading Single Ladies series. Single Ladies is one of my favorite series. It's dealing with love, sex, relationship, single and drama. This is my second time reading from part 1 to part 3 of Single Ladies. Each of these ladies have their own issues problem. I like the concept and vibe of this book. Both of author did a wonderful job. They did take their time for writing this book. I learned a lot from this book. I felt bad for each of these ladies. Also, I felt bad for Ralphy because he doesn't deserve this but he doesn't have murder Dre. He should walk away and let Dre have Lisa.
I give 5.5 stars to both of authors and this book. I'm looking forward to reading another book this author. I'm looking forward to part 5 & 6 of Single Ladies!
Good Job!

This series was something serious from the first page. This book showcased what friends are like everyday in the world. I read this book and I could truly understand where the Single Ladies coming from. Great job Blake Karrington. I have never been disappointed in any of his book. 5+ read. I can't wait to see what happens in part 5. I was truly upset that the book was over. I'm on my edge of my seat thirsty for part 5.

This was an excellent read. It surrounds the everyday problems of being single and a lady. It also involves being a single mom and just how real the struggle is with having to deal with your man being in prison as well as him having another baby momma. There is lots of lies and deceit. This series is a must read. There is 11 volumes to this box set, and so far I have only read 4, but those 4 are very well worth me getting the rest of the volumes.
