Marlo and Mikael are brothers working on being better than they were raised. Mikael gets sent away for almost 10 years and comes home to take his place as co-owner of their towing company. Marlo has a family with a cougar that should have been arrested a long time ago since he was a minor when they started dealing. The plot twists were twisting and the storyline was on point.
The author has a great talent, but either she doesn’t have an editor or they don’t like her because there were mistakes all through the book. I pushed through to the end but it was touch and go for a few days.
When it comes to Ni'ssan I buy her books as soon as they're released and I'm usually okay with a few typos here and there but this entire book was littered with them. Honestly the typos took away from the story which I usually not want to say but even just the most cursory glands at it you would be able to fix some of the things. From name switching in and out of chapters words entirely being missing. Sentences being repeated and I found myself going back over the same things to make sure that they understood them. It prolonged the reading experience and again took away from the book.
Now on to the good stuff and absolutely loved most of the characters asylie was definitely my favorite Solana I warmed up to her more towards the end I just didn't understand why she was walking around constantly accusing Marlo of trying to sleep with her when he was trying to be nice and he had told her multiple times he also let her know about his relationship. Once they got over to the 'best friendship' I started liking her.
It felt like she was finally trimming the terms and and make it better situation for herself and then boom she likes this man cheat multiple times and then has the nerve to be like we shouldn't have done it after the 13th time. Okay girl. Only thing I would have wanted a little bit more from her backstory would be her situation with her mom just cuz the ending just kind of came out of nowhere where the mom popped out of nowhere for real.
With Zaylee and Mickeall I absolutely loved Zaylee, she was my favorite. He worked my nerves every single time and at first I was just really trying to figure out where this revengeful Spirit he had towards Zaylee come from. When we found out what he did with ole girl's brother and then continue to do and however long later I realized that's just his vibe. He's just a petty Betty and he gives 50 cent energy and I really actually started to respect that towards the end.
Of course this book was a stand alone but it does seem like we're gearing up for something with Yana and Nico and I'm here for it. I definitely want to see what happened with Sonni's mom which would be Nico's too, and how all of that came out cuz we really didn't get too much info on it.
All in all great book. I do hope that she will editit and then re-release because it's something that I could definitely read again. It has all of the immediate relief and over the top Miss that you would expect from a Ni'ssan book however again be good mistakes took away from the book but not enough to not enjoy it.
This was 400 pages of pure dysfunction, abusive behavior, chaos, and trauma dumping.
Aside from the consistent grammar errors, this story was full of every storyline you can imagine. Because of the gumbo approach to character development and storytelling, there were TOO many unnecessary moments.
Too many times I wondered why was certain things mentioned or how was it moving the story forward?
I wasn’t a fan of the MMCs, each were abusive to their love interests. And the other was in a whole relationship/ situationship for more than 70% of the story. Also- why didn’t we get clarity over that moment between Mikali and Fallon? What was that?
This was a mess. Yet I had to finish to see if either MMC would actually redeem themselves. Instead the women did the typical trope of making everything wrong in their relationships by having a baby.
Yikes! I’m looking forward to the day that logic is retired from romance novels.
If you love a messy read, which I do, you will be entertained. Which I was but I also was annoyed by the misspelling incorrect use of a word. All the things.
It was so many things wrong with this book that I don’t know where to begin. The thing that drove me the most crazy was the lack of editing. Like for real, whoever did the editing or didnt do the editing should be fired! It literally was some type of mistake in every other paragraph. I’m talking about wrong names, typos and missing words. Just trifling!!! Then, the characters were all dysfunctional. I felt like I was reading about a bunch of middle schoolers. All kinds of secrets, lack of communication and just blatant disrespect. The male characters called the women they love more b*tches to their face than their enemies. Then sleeping with your girl’s cousin was as low as you can go. Then the women were so thirsty behind these trifling men that they constantly let them slut them out. Now, I know that I’ve read other books of Ni’ssan before but baaaaby, this one right here is trash. If this was my first introduction to her books, I would never read another one.
If errors in literature bother you- this book is not the one.
I like the mixed troupe, glad none of the disliked characters got their own chapters. The beginning of the story it’s like you’re reading a romance just waiting for the HEA
Some real toxicity slid in toward the middle from Marlo after what has been some real solid relationship building and Solana kept claiming she was going to leave because of it but never did- both annoying and disappointing.
Both female characters are forced into continuing pregnancies they verbalised not wanting to have.
Same time the book was fun to read. Heavy on the ‘a good story isn’t about loving every character’.
This book was really good. I enjoyed the story a lot. Mikael was definitely my favorite!! He stayed on ho and did not play about his family,his seed and his money. I loved how close Marlo and Mikael were, they had each other’s backs through everything. Zaylee knew good and well Mikael was gon cut up real good and he definitely did. Marlo needed gave people too many chances to play with him, I know he was tryna see the good in people but they was too good at playin in his face. I hope we get a spinoff cus I got questions! Overall this was definitely worth reading 10/10 highly recommend
I typically like books by this author but this isn’t my favorite. I expected a softer book but this was definitely more toxicity than anything. I wouldn’t quite say romance or love because you don’t really see it that until it’s rushed in the end. I don’t mind a toxic book but I wish I had known before hand. However, the biggest qualms I have with this book is the grammar. Mine isn’t the best but there was a lot of mess ups that take away from the story and make this feel like a rushed release.
This was cute. I enjoyed it but not as much as I enjoy her other books. It had A LOT of typos but I managed to skim over them. It can definitely be revised later on. I would like a follow up on Yanna and Niko- bc he had a girlfriend when he seen Lana at the store, so I need a how they met and got acquainted story for them. Marlo is presh, he reminded me so much of “Real” from I love NY.. come to think Mikael gave me “Chance” vibes.
Ni’ssan I have been a fan of your paranormal work and a few other books and this one was equally great! Mikael was unhinged and Marlo was silent but deadly. I love his heart and how he let the aura draw him into Solana. Yanna knew her baby daddy was fine… Zaylee put Mikael through it as well she should had. Daddy just a rolling stone he forgot the hat everywhere he laid pipe at. Fallon was on my shit list from the beginning.A good read for sure!
Listen! Everybody was delusional 😂 Solana was a bit of a damsel in distress. Marlon”Mr. F bxches” Watson starts to catch feelings but has too much going on with his crazy baby mama to act on the attraction. So, he wants to be besties? 🥴 Boy, bye! Lol. Don’t get us started on his brother & his girl. Just go read it for yourself. 😉 A few grammatical errors but the storyline & plot were great! Great job! I was entertained the entire 400 pages.
Although this was a very good read funny and kept me intrigued for hours the grammar and misspelling throughout the entire book was a bit much.It threw me off, but But the overall story in the book was really really good. I loved lo and happy everybody got what they deserved
The plot for this book was perfect but I do think the author should republish. There were too many grammatical errors and at times even character names were misspelled or misplaced.
I truly enjoy this book all 400 pages of it baby I wanted them to kill Fallon the daddy and they fake ass brother lmao and they mama to like wow how you do your kids dirty
I really enjoyed the story, it had enough tension, laughter and smut. I’m going to look more into the authors work. I usually don’t comment on or am bothered by editing but it was kind of ridiculous
I liked the book, but there were quite a few grammar errors and it was annoying. Also I didn’t like how we never knew what happened to NeNe after the arrest. I like the author so I will read her work again but the errors do need to be fixed!
Ain’t love grand?! LOVED this story. Ni’ssan is a wonderful storyteller. More attention to proofreading would be appreciated… respectfully… but I’m a new fan! 🙌🏾🤎
