Promised To A Boss But A Menace Got My Heart

Rate this book
Harmoni had everything she dreamed of… A thriving business, a good man, and a life she was proud of. Then one loss flipped her world upside down and exposed the man she trusted with everything in her.
Jakari loved her, but his secret was bigger than his love, and when the truth came out, it cost him everything.
Harmoni didn’t fold. She started playing the game herself — and played it dirty. But karma don’t discriminate, and her own secrets surfaced at the worst possible time.
Now she’s tangled up with Rowdy, a street dude from out of town who fell deeper than he planned, only to find out nothing with Harmony was as it seemed.
Just when everybody thought the worst was behind them, a real enemy stepped out the shadows with a vengeance — and Harmony’s life is on the line.
Blood got shed. Bonds got broken. Lines got crossed that can’t be uncrossed.
Not everybody made it to a happy ending — but everybody got exactly what they deserved.

Awesome Read!!!

I love Rowdy and Moni, they are the perfect fit. Jakari got just what he deserved, him and Diamond were definitely two of a kind, that didn’t know how to let go. Rowdy gave Moni just what she needed and deserved, their HEA was a great ending to the series. Trell and Ciara are the true definition of friends, they rode hard for their friends and weren’t afraid to go to war about them. I’m so glad Ciara gave Trell another chance cause their love is pure joy, he messed up but he more than made up for it!!! I loved this story the first time around, this time around just made me love it more!!! It is definitely worth the read and if you are a fan of Bonnie’s you will see her growth. I’m so proud of her!!! Great job Fav!!!

A MESSY good time!!!

If a person has told you on more than one occasion they don’t want you, please believe them. Negative actions will have consequences. One man trash is always another man treasure. Let’s chat!!

I’m going to start it off with stating that this was a messy good time from beginning to the end. Almost every page had mess. My girl Harmoni just was done so wrong. Jakari just wasn’t that one for her and his actions showed it. Cause honestly there is NO way I’m accepting hos shenanigan and babe he was begging🤣. Oh but who would have she would find that one to complete her - Rowdy. One thing for sure he was not the one to play with and when it came to Moni, he was definitely not playing🫣. Though she didn’t need to upgrade or help to upgrade, he did it with no worry at all. Now don’t get me wrong she upset me a few time especially when she slipped up😒. The way I was upset with her action and having me stressed. but when all said and done she made the right choice🥰. One thing for sure my girl had a real love flew that just wouldn’t let her be great- Diamond. Babygirl was lost and confused but got off when it came to Moni. That copycat behavior is not a good look. I want to give her the business so bad🤨.

Jakari, was your typical man that didn’t know what it was to be faithful until it was too late. He bite of more than he could chew🤭. The way this man fumbled the ball then wants to feel someway. My girl Harmoni was the best thing he had but the smaller head will always be a man’s downfall🫣. That surprise is what did it for me cause IKYL! Don’t get me wrong, he was about his business and handled business but he was no match for the new sheriff that’s in town - Rowdy. Honestly when all is said and done, he was the problem who had a bigger problem - Diamond. All I have to say is he cause his issues and that Karma was real.

Diamond my girl, you had me so upset with them actions. Ya girl was delusion and confused🫣. Ain’t no way a man is going to treat me the way she was treated. Just not going to happen. Like how many time does a man have to tell you he did want you🤔. Then the obsession was unreal. Mental health is real y’all 😔.

The man of the hour/read Rowdy. Loved every thing about him🥰. He really tried to be understanding and look for other option but it was always something or someone that called him out🫣. We all know if you poll a bear, you getting a reaction will not be ready for. One thing he was ready for was - Harmoni and his action showed it all🥰. The thing I really loved about him is he had no issues with which admitting when he’s wrong. He was a man of action and not words. He rather show than tell. Stop playing with this country man🤭.

This was a messy good time and I enjoyed every piece of this read. It starts out swing literally 🤣! A time was had. The growth in Bonnie writing is everything especially being able to see it from the beginning to now🤏🏾. Don’t know when but after reading this, I think I may need to spin the block and read her catalog again. I enjoyed the mess!!

Bonnie Brings Fire Again!

Bonnie brought fire in three parts in one book. I loved how Jakari loved Harmoni.He messed up big time with a ratchet, delulu while mourning. But instead of owning it and talking to Moni, he chose to hide it until it wasn’t and shatter Moni’s heart. I was for him trying to get her back because his love was genuine. He disliked Diamond even more. But knowing Moni like he did for years, he should’ve let her be because his persistence made her angrier. Now I admit, you’re not going to make a baby and when he’s three, I find out because the baby mama knocks on my door with your twin, because you choose your child and not the mother and all be well. Totally understand her hurt. But Bonnie wrote in the perfect man for Moni in the perfect time. Rowdy/Black came with honesty, purpose and intent stepping to Harmoni. Actions beyond words. Diamond cause so much turmoil, all because a man who was never hers, never hesitated to remind her that he never wanted her, didn’t choose her. Rejection is powerful. I am disappointed in the man Jakari became when he himself couldn’t accept rejection. He definitely brought his outcome on himself. Black was willing to coexist with Jakari but his mouth and actions got reckless (poor Drew) and a price had to be paid. When I say Ciara worked my nerves, she did and then some. Goodness. Overall this book was Fire.

What annoyed me with Harmoni she just loved to omit things, that was really important , and some things could have been prevented, but in her mind she’s trying to avoid conflict, and subconsciously in a way still protecting her ex.

Harmoni got herself in a sticky situation which got complicated. Things that makes you go hmmm!

With that being said, Harmoni had a heart of gold and I was rooting for her.
She and Rowdy was a great match! Home girl went through it though woosa!

That Diamond was a piece of work and delu delu! She was just coco for Cocoa Puffs and needed serious help. She took things way too far. She should have just move along!!

Ciara a$$ was just crazy 🤦🏾‍♀️ and played no games! She was not for the shenanigans lmao 😂.

Now Jakari, he did wrong by hiding an important part of his life. However, for him to go to that extreme, took him to whole other level. He should have cut his losses and just be happy, but nope! Homie got a second chance at life and threw it away 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Side Note: the author was mixing up Ciara and Carmen’s name in couple scenes!

This was so good

I have been on a choke hold on another authors series and haven’t been able to find a book to keep my interest but this one did it. This was so good, kept me on my toes and always anticipating what was going to happen next. I couldn’t stand Diamond ass she worked my nerves lol Harmoni should have been did her in cause she stayed whooping her ahh lol. I had some good laughs in here too but you know what Ciara crazy ass was the start to me she was the biggest G of them all that girl did not play she needed her own book I’m curious to know her full story this really could of been a whole series and I want to know Blacks dad and his background too I think he the only one to give Ciara a run for her money lol. I really enjoyed this, I’ve read a few of your books before Bonnie but it’s been a minute however I must say this was written really well. Your pen is blessed!!!

Loved it!!! Rowdy & Trell are Real Bosses

Harmoni thought she had the perfect relationship/man, but found out that was a lie. Jakari slipped up and had a baby on her by a deranged woman. He was able to hide it for 2 years. He didn’t know he had a baby mama who was obsessed with him. Even after Harmoni left him alone, she still stalked her. Almost caused her to lose her life. Took her and her baby. Ended up causing her whole family to just about come up missing. Rowdy came into Harmoni’s life and made things better. He loved her unconditionally. He almost messed up listening to Diamond. Ciara was a real one. She made sure to assist in helping getting her best friend back. She gave Trell a hard time, but they got it together too.

What a read

This book was so good. So much drama. I loved Moni and Rowdy I loved how they loved on each other from the start now from the beginning I knew this was going to be a 5 star read. That Jakari was clueless he was so soft and weak Diamond truly got him together she played no games with him although she was Looney and delusional I was glad when Moni did her in. Ciara I appreciate her love and loyalty to Moni but I couldn't stand her ways she was too Manish for me. But all in all in glad that things ended the way it did. BONNIE BLANCO you're pen game is sick I can't wait for you're next book.

I really loved this book couldn’t put it down it had so much in there and no cliffhangers . Harmoni has gone though a lot with Jakari his secret were very big to say. Jakari did understand how good he had it until it was gone that always end up happening . I love Rowdy and Moni, they are the perfect fit. Rowdy. One thing for sure he was not the one to play with and when it came to Moni, he was definitely not playing. Diamond my girl, you had me so upset with them actions. I could understand how she let that man treat her like that . My favorite is Rowdy because he was a ride or die for his woman

Broken Promises

Harmoni was very happy in her five year relationship with Jakari until a late night pounding at their door exposed all of his secrets and shattered all of Harmoni's dreams. This was the start of a roller-coaster ride for Harmoni that she could not get off of. Evil would stalk her. Her new man, Rowdy, tried to protect her. Her best friend, Ciara was there for her, but Ciara went to far with the way she handled the "Trell situation." Poor Jakari couldn't catch a break, and I felt sorry for him and his son. He made a horrible mistake during his time of grief that cost him everything. He finally snapped to the point of no return. 😢

This author keeps me in a choke hold

Jakari and Diamond as just alike. He was no different from Diamond. Carmen did her thing! Ciara, Trell and Moni and Black isy favorite. Oh yeah black's father also. I hate that this is the end of these characters. I don't want them to end. All of Bonnie's books have keeps me in choke hold. I'm deemed to believe JJ gonna have some mental issues as he get older. Black and Moni kids and Ciara and Trell kids need to carry the empire on. That's just me though. JJ seeking revenge at first then end up on their team. Just a thought Bonnie.

SO GOOOD

This series was so good I couldn’t put it down moni been through so much. Diamond hated Moni so bad because her baby daddy didn’t want her. I feel so bad for baby jj cause he didn’t deserve to lose his mom and dad I hated that Keith died of cancer he didn’t deserve that and jakari poor jakari I was hoping he change and just move on and take care of his son. Ciara I’m so happy she finally gave Trill a chance he really did any and everything to prove his love. Rowdy Hormoni Trill and Ciara are definitely the people you wanna hear about what an amazing story.

♥️

Loved this book!! Took me through so many emotions. I loved that all three parts were in this one book. No waiting for the next to come out. Rowdy didn't play about his woman. Ciara was off the chain. Diamond was certifiably crazy!! I can't understand why people just can't let go!!

Loved it!

The way Bonnie Blanco gave it all to you in one whole story is remarkable. If Imagination Station was a train stop, Diamond and Jakari would be right there ready to board. Delusional and Crazy isn't even a good enough description. See for your....this is an excellent read

Messy

What an I say but messy at its finest. Jakari n Diamond was cray and needed major meds plus help. Rowdy stood on business over Harmoni and he almost loosed out on a great woman. Harmoni couldn’t catch a break. Trell met his match with Ciera is a beast. Happy ending. Love it all
