What Hurts the Most
What hurts the most is letting go. Being in a relationship with ladies' man, Jay'vion, Asia is ready to throw in the towel. Jay'vion is the true definition of the song 'Can't Raise a Man.' Having a hard time being faithful and committing himself to Asia, he finds himself alone and lonesome. The last woman has approached Asia for the last time, and though letting go might be the hardest thing she's ever had to endure, she knows it's something she has to do. What hurts the most is falling for another man when you already have one of your own. Tangela has always lived by the rule of loyalty, even if her man is serving a five-year sentence. When she meets irresistible, fresh out of prison Quintez, she knows to stay far away from his kind. Little does she know, whatever Quintez wants, he gets. That includes her. Will Tangela continue to be loyal to her man, or will Quintez be one temptation she will not be able to fight? This is one rollercoaster ride you don't want to miss.

This is my first read by Tynessa but I can promise it won't be my last! Jay was just trifling and I felt bad for Asia!! It seemed as if no matter how faithful or how much she put up with, it was never enough. I didn't like Stacey either. She thought for sure she did something but I guess that's what happens when you have a dude always pillow talking. I loved Tez! Yeah he got caught up but you could tell he was a good dude. The love he had for his mom showed a lot! Tang was any dudes dream girl. She held Kacey down and everything seemed to be going good until she met Tez. I so wanted her to finally leave Kacey's nagging ass alone. Ms. Jackie always gave good advice and I was hurt once things started changing for her. Jay let Stacey talk him into what?! Omg dude was just dumb and tried using every excuse he could come up with. I couldn't stand Bree or Grisela. Lo got me questioning him and trying to figure out just what he's hiding. Damn Tang! I can't wait for part 2. How will Kacey react to what's clearly in front of him, what will Tang choose to do, will Jay find out everything Stacey said to Asia, is Asia truly done, will Bree ever come clean and let Tez see her daughter, how much more will be revealed to Tez, and just how much more drama well occur for one to realize just what hurts the most??!!

I threw my kindle!!
That end though was unexpected. Why is bree hiding her daughter is the ultimate question. Tang should have been stronger but quintez was not letting up. I'm glad Jay left that stuff alone. Ok tynessa where is part 2. Ready to see what kacey do. ITS ABOUT TO GO DOWN!! This is definitely a 5 star read!

The ending really got me like whoa! Tynessa you know how to give me a book that captures my attention the entire book. The character the piqued my interest is Lo. its something that don't sit right with me about him. But I'm ready for part 2. Because now that Kacey is home I'm really interested to see how everything will unfold.

This read was nice and steady... With lots of drama, some secrets and shocking moments and man the backstabbing...
Asia is a young beautiful woman... She has a best friend named Tangela and she is dating a no good man named Jay'vion or Jay as they call him... They have been together for 4 years and he has done nothing but cheat on her daily... Yet she keeps being naive and giving him chance after chance... Women keep approaching her about him but to her they have no proof so it means nothing... Asia gets in her feelings a little bit each time and then goes right back... But this last time a woman came with receipts... So there was no denying what is in front of her face... But is this enough to finally make her walk away...
Jay'vion just can't help himself... He is the man in the streets and according to him all these women and cheating is part of the job... He says he loves Asia... Yet he hurts her time and time again... He knows that every time he messes up all he has to do is apologize and be nice to Asia and things will be okay... Because to him no one has proof so Asia should not believe all these women... But has he crossed the line for the last time...
Quintez or Tez is Jay'vion's little brother... He has been in prison for the last few years... Before he went to prison he was in a relationship with a girl named Bree and living the life... But once he went down... He lost his girl that told him that she was going to hold him down... Only for him to be gone for 2 years for her to step out on him and have a baby on him... So when he comes home he is a free man all the way around... But his ex keeps trying to get back with him... He has shut that down time and time again... But little does he know how deep her deception really goes... Well he has decided to just be free of any type of relationship since he no longer can trust a woman after what Bree did... Well the moment he comes home he sees a beautiful woman that he would like to be "friends" with... But the only problem with that is... She is already in a committed relationship...
Tangela or Tan is best friends with Asia... They have been friends for years... She is in a relationship with a man named Kasey... Kacey is friends with Jay'vion... Kacey is currently in prison for a 4 year bid... But Tan is holding him down... She does not even give any other man any type of time became she loves her man... But no matter how good and faithful she is to him... He is always accusing her of cheating or being around another man... but things quickly change when she meets her best friends boyfriends brother Tez... He kind of awakens something in her... But she is determined to stay faithful to her man no matter what...
Taz is not giving up on his mission to break Tan down... But he also knows that all he wants is to sleep with her because he no longer wants any type of relationship... But Tan is not going for it at all... All this does is push him to want her more and more and do everything he can to break her down... And then in a weak moment... It all goes down and things change... Now Tan is feeling bad and does not know what to do... No matter what she does or says she becomes weak and then there is not turning back... Tez finds himself caught up as well... And now things are really complicated for these two... And there is still a very big issue... Tan is not single... But one moment when all feelings come pouring out and Tan gets the shock of her life... Now how will she get past this... What will she do... Oh the decisions that she now has to make...
Is it all finally over for Jay'vion and Asia... Can he really get over what Stacy got him started on... Can he come back from the blow he has taken and really be a better man... What will Tan do now... Well onto part 2 to see how things will play out...

Wanted to like it
I wanted to like this book so bad that I forced myself to continue reading it. But I couldn’t once again a book with weak females. Asia she suppose to be “wifey” but she is basically okay with her man cheating on her. Why get mad when you find out he doing it again? U stayed and called yourself his main chick when you should have been THE ONLY WOMAN. All the side chicks were weak as usual. Then Tan like even though dude in jail from the little back story we got he treated u good so y cheat? I swear the authors make these females act like they never seen a fine man before. Like just because he fine you couldn’t control sleeping with him? I didn’t like her at least break up with the dude Kacey. Jay was a sad case. Tez seems like he could have been a good character to like but why go back to messing with the chick that left u at your lowest point? It wasn’t his job to show loyalty to Tans relationship so if she didn’t care he had no reason to either. She wanted to be mad cuz her friend was getting cheated on but she was doing the same thing. I don’t get it, also I don’t understand what the storyline is, I don’t think there is one. I really like tynessa but I couldn’t get with this one. I didn’t finish the book at all I was over after she was at his house and tez took her car.

Trifling
Grown men acting like teenagers. I can’t figure out if the author is immature or writing for immaturity readers. This is definite skip it

Wow
Two friends with totally different situations. I was so sad to see Ms. Jackie go. She was something else, she gave raw and uncut no chasers. Jay was a hot mess I'm so glad Asia dropped his stupid immature behind. Now Tang she irked me, how are you screaming you down for your man and your gonna hold him down but you spread open for the next nigga to hit. Then her dumb self gonna keep doing Tez and got the nerve to fall in love knowing he is with other girls. So you throw away a long term relationship with a man while he is down for a man that can't even be faithful. Ummm who does that? Then once Kacey comes to the door she magically forgets. Uhhh trick you were just claiming you were so in love with Tez two seconds ago now you all up on somebody else talking bout I missed you baby. Get outta here with that foolishness. I can't wait to see Kasey put her in her place. Tez has already stated he's not ready to be faithful so all she is in for is a dose of Asia's old relationship. Tez isn't going to trust her especially after the way they started things off. Kacey damn sure isn't going to trust her after that b.s. he just witnessed. Next book needs to come out like asap. The drama is at an all new high and I'm ready to see Tang rep the benefits of her deceit. Ohhh and wait till the bomb drips about Bree's child's father I know that gonna cause all types of confusion. That girl is just a messy ratchet ball of stupidity.

Quintez is a guy who goes for what he wants. Tang wanted Quintez but tried to be faithful & failed. Jay & Asia relationship might be completely over. He let outside women hey to her & the drugs. I know he went through things but drugs will not help him. I hope Jay get it right especially for his relationship with his brother. Can't wait for part 2 especially with Kacey, Tang's boyfriend is out. The drama is just beginning.

Enjoyed this read can't wait for part 2

I swear I don't know where to start with this book. It was really I love Asia I was happy when she decide to leave Jay alone. I think has a lot of growing up to do. Tan and Tez I love them together. I still trying to figure out who is Bree daughter father. I can't wait for part 2 cause that end had me my mouth drop.
April 18, 2015
What hurts the most
Tangela needs to go ahead and follow her heart. Which is with Tez. If she loved Kacey she wouldn't of cheated on him. Jay'vion needs to get his life together. I can't wait until finds out Stacy has the ring Asia had. Bree needs to come clean with Tez on who her baby father is and that she had a hand in setting him up

What's Hurts the Most
Take a journey with your heart when you read about Kacey/Tangela/Quintez...why? Both guys are about the street life and Tan is a ride or die female. Asia & Jay'vion are the other couple. Both are young in love and Jay is running the streets but can the streets change them for the better? Why not! It's truly a very good read and I'm waiting for part II.

Now this, is what I call a CERTIFIED BANGER. This book was good from the beginning to the end. It was like a breath off fresh air. Tez is the man and I really hope him and Tang gets it together because they belong together. Jay needs to get his act together and be the man that Asia fell in love with. I cannot wait for the next installment. Well done Tynessa!!

Love At First Bite!
There is something to be said about first impressions! Tez knew the first time he saw Tang, that he wanted her. Persistence is the key! Patience is a virtue! I'm patiently waiting for "What Hurts The Hurts The Most 2!"
