Some things you can't outrun. No matter how fast you move or how far you go. Carmelo knew love was a weakness. Knew feelings got people killed. He had too many enemies, too many watching eyes, and not enough room for a single mistake. He kept telling himself he didn't need her. Didn't want her. That whatever he felt was a distraction he couldn't afford. He still chose to remind people why he commanded respect. And that choice had consequences. Every move he made after that pulled him further from her. The walls started closing in. Loyalty got shaky. Everything he built started feeling like it was catching up to him all at once. So he did the only thing he knew how to do — he pushed Indeeyah away while keeping her close enough to protect her. Confusing her. Hurting her. Not because he didn't know how he felt but because how he felt was the exact thing putting a target on her back. Losing her was something he was willing to survive. Burying her wasn't. Indeeyah thought he was distant. Guarded. She had no idea he was protecting her and her children from a life none of them asked to be part of. When the truth finally came out and they were all under one roof she could see how heavy it really was. This was bigger than both of them now. Her kids were involved. Things were dangerous. Survival wasn't just a word anymore. It was the only thing that mattered. Because when bullets start flying and everything they built alone and together explodes around them there is no turning back. The question was never just where do we stand. The harder question was whether they'd survive long enough to answer it. So Where Do We Stand Part 2 is the finale. Love, silence, hurt, pain, losses, and growth — nothing is the same. But somehow, for the first time, it's all starting to make sense.
This was definitely a page-turner from beginning to end. The drama, emotions, and relationship struggles kept me hooked the entire time. I loved how the characters showed growth while still keeping the story realistic and intense. Every chapter had me wanting to know what would happen next. The author did a great job balancing romance, heartbreak, and unexpected twists. If you enjoy emotional love stories with plenty of drama and strong chemistry between the characters, this book is a must-read. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to reading more from this author.
So where we stand 1and 2 is definitely a good read. A must read I will be reading more books by the author: Yona Pearson I was entertaining from the beginning to the end of the book 🎬 all Carmelo wanted was to have a family someone to care for and to get out of the lifestyle he was living once he met Indeeyah his world started changing, I definitely recommend this book to friends and family definitely give this book a read👏🏾👏🏾

This was okay. I only read it to finish out the series.
A lot of grammatical errors along with misinformation. Nah Nah first wanted to be a MUA. Now all of a sudden she wants to do hair and whatever else. Which is fine, but....how would the reader have known that?
Camelo's last name changed to Thompson in Book 2 but wasn't in Book 1.
This book gave exactly what it was supposed to!!! It wasn’t predictable and kept me engaged from start to finish. Melo is exactly who he think he is and Indeeyah definitely understood the assignment ! 10/10
I’m glad melo and indie finally got their stuff together the way he stood up for the kids that’s a man’s man there he didn’t play about his it takes a minute for them both to get out of their own heads and when they do they find where they stand
