Can't Trust These Bitches: Amir and Zyrie

Rate this book
Not to be confused with Can’t Trust These Bitches 2, this is a new tale, with new characters but the same scandalous theme. Zyrie finds herself starting over, after ending a bad relationship. She’s back at her mom’s, figuring out what direction she wants to take her life. All plans go awry when Mike enters the picture. Coming fully equipped with a slick tongue and a big bank roll, Zyrie’s mother feels that she’s snagged a winner. Zye entertains the notion, until she lays eyes on Amir, Mike’s cousin. Amir is everything Mike isn’t, but in Zyrie’s eyes he’s forbidden fruit. Still, temptation proves too much for Zyrie as she does the unthinkable. Sit back and take a ride with Zyrie, Amir, and Mike. Get an up-close and personal glimpse of just how down and dirty everyone can truly get. It’s a dog eat dog kind of world, and everyone knows that you just can’t trust these bitches.

CTTB Amir and Zyrie

This was a good book. Same premise as the first one but with different ppl. Mike was a sap and needed to be handled. I hated Zora. Good job Nicole

Is This A Sign...Series Needs To End

I'm writing this review with a sense of sadness. Ms. Jackson is one of my newer favorite authors, (by newer I mean last five years). There are some issues with this series that stood out more in this installment.

The frustration I'm feeling as a reader has nothing to do with the actual back stories of these characters. There's a theme common to all the women: stunningly gorgeous, street fighting, abuse taking, fools. It doesn't matter that in the end they all are in marriages or relationships. The men are the biggest whores; the women are lauded for "holding them down" in spite of this fact. Adding to my general annoyance with Zyier, along comes the weakest link Raven. Remember Raven and Jahrein? Excellent book, but I cringed at the authors characterization of Raven.

I get creative license, and I respect Nicole's body of work overall. But let's see more diverse personalities, and realistic women.

❤❤❤❤❤

Zyrie definitely was a real one and held it down for her man. I loved Amir but at times he definitely behaved like a typical nigga. I liked Mike at first and even when he stepped to I thought he was cool. Definitely was shocked by how things played out for him.

So many funny moments

Amir and Zyrie's connection could not be denied. The chemistry was it from the jump but an obstacle name Big Mike stood in the way. He wasn't no match compared to the love and lust of those two and end the end their loved reigned supreme.

Amir & Zyrie might be my favorite couple. Their relationship definitely was tested so many times. But they always managed to bounce back. At times Amir acted like a true lame, but that was Zyrie’s man & she stuck beside him. I don’t know who upset me more in this story Mike, Celebrity, or Zora. Amir’s ex girlfriend went out sad. Another bomb 10 outta 10 read!

I’m no stranger to Nicole Jackson’s books, so I knew to expect some toxicity, unhinged MMCs, and trifling drama brewing. Despite all the ups and downs, Amir and Zye were made for each other and I was here for every bit of the messiness.

Good read

Very good read, I liked Amir a lot. He made some dumb mistakes but he was a real dude. Now his girl on the other hand I don't like her at all. She was very childish and a who're. Slept with two cousins. Had sex with another man while pregnant with Amir's baby. That's just nasty not to mention every time her and Amir broke up she right with the next dude having sex and having her daughter around the dude. Yeah she sat it down when he went to jail but she did her childish antics again before he got out. If she wasn't out at the club being a home, she would not have gotten her drinker spiked. Who still messes with a dude who has sex with u prissy drunk and unconscious. On the first night. Amir could do better.

Can't trust these Bitches Is an understatement!

Big Mike need to be under the jail for all the slick stuff he did. Zyrie mother is really bitter it's bad when u can't even trust the lady that birth you. Against all odds Amir and Zy made it.

Good read

I only gave it four stars, because Amir and Zyire aggravated me towards the end with their backwards and forwards. Besides that it's a good Nicole Jackson book.
