The Wrong Side Of Love

The Wrong Side Of Love #1

by Charmanie Saquea

Coco has her head on straight and is deeply rooted in work and her studies. After breaking up with her manipulator of a boyfriend Trae, all she wants to do is focus on becoming a RN. Things change when the king of Detroit, known as Zeek enters her life. Dealing with Zeek brings some drama to Coco’s life that she never saw coming.

Zeek is the type to get whatever he wants when he wants it and things are no different when he sets his eyes on the young and beautiful Coco. It's hard for Zeek to resist a good girl with a good head on her shoulders, even with him keeping his ex girlfriend Chanel around for his pleasure. When the Feds start sniffing around and things get hectic for Zeek, he realizes one of the women in his life has been working against him.

Although she was labeled the problem child out of her and her sister Coco, all Jayliah really wanted is to be loved. After becoming pregnant young and refusing to have an abortion she was exiled by the very people who had sworn to love her no matter what; her family. Facing motherhood alone, Jayliah quickly realizes all she has is Coco until Tariq works his way into her life. On the brink of her fairy tale ending, Jayliah’s word is shook once again when the father of her child makes a sudden appearance and soon her life starts spiraling out of control.

In this tale of love and deceit people will find out that you can’t trust everyone, especially those closest to you.

The author seems to have a theme going when it comes to the men in these, they’re rude, disrespectful and overly cocky. The women all eat it up and go along with whatever no matter how simple-minded they have to be in order to be with them. You can’t really connect with the characters and their relationships seem to just be on without too much of anything.

The mess with the son was just that, he just took off and they were playing detective to find him but no cops? No missing person, kidnapping nothing? You get nothing as far as the father's relationship so when she opens her doors like it’s not a problem that eight+ years have gone by the story just gets even worse. The ending was silly as heck, he pops up and then in walks Zeek with the two facing off and then it’s done.

Give me a break, how many informants turn into cops then head cases they were involved in personally? If you’re going to tell a story at least make sure it makes sense and has a bit of common sense with it. Hopefully, the author can iron out the kinks and actually tell the stories instead of jumping about and actually get you into what’s going on in the next one.

This book was really good I love Coco and how she was there for her sister. I hate the felt Quadir came back in there life just to bring pain into people life. I felt so bad for Jay and I hope certain things was not true. I love Coco and Zeek relationship and hope they can work it out. I can't wait for part 2

This was a good first draft of "The Wrong Side of Love Book 1." I say first draft because there were a lot of grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors that interrupted the flow of the story. There were also times where the plot was not realistic, or too simple for the scene that was taking place, or the story in general. The sex scenes were underdeveloped, maybe intentionally. And at times where there was supposed to be more emotion the words didn't flow well enough to give me that jolt of emotion that should have flowed from the scene. An example of this would be when Quaid's arm was found in the box, I expected a more powerful scene here. Overall there was a lot of "telling" instead of "showing." But the plot was attention grabbing, which was kept me hanging on until the end. I will read the next book in the series to see if the editing has gotten any better and to see who was shot at the end of book 1.

I would've given this book 3-4 stars because it kept me intrigued, but there were so many errors that it made it hard for me to even want to finish the book. It seemed like every other page, there was an error. I don't care for the male characters, mainly Zeek, but I guess the point is to make you feel something towards the characters, even if it is disgust. I really wish this book would've been properly proofread/edited because it has so much potential. It also seems like the author didn't do much research on some of the things she wrote about because the way certain things played out made no sense.

Coco and Chanel

While I was not initially drawn to Zeek's abrasiveness he kind of grew in me. But everything that happened to him was bc he thought he was the King. Hopefully he and CoCo work it out bc they're cute together. Tariq and Jay are dope together too. Also, I HOPE that was a cruel joke played on Jaliyah. Part 2 here I come...

[Alicia]

This book have me intrigued

The writing is good. The story is good. I just can't understand why we have to have stories where females make dumb decisions on going against the hearts or putting their children in situations they shouldn't be in. Otherwise this book is a very good read and very interesting.

[Shajuana McDuffy]

On Edge!!!!!!!!

This book had me on edge the entire time I was reading it. This is my first time reading anything by this author. and I am well pleased. I am loving on these characters, and looking forward to reading part 2!

[Bookplugkay]

Shocked

At first I thought this was just gonna be a mushy love story with a few twist and turns but no there were straight cover balls like I was expecting none of the shit that has happened to happen. This book was so good can't wait to read book 2

[Steph Hoskins]

I like the storyline

No lie Zeek gets on my nerves a little bit but I like the love he shows Coco and Jaliyah . I can’t stand the sisters mother like cmon na how can a person be so hateful. Poor J ik she’s hurt smh . I hope it’s not true about the baby . Ready for the next book.

[Mattie]

Confused

I dislike how they played the mouse and cat games. Zeek was hard pillow to swallow but he kept it up and up. Quair was wrong about taking the baby. Part 2

The Wrong Side of Love

I enjoyed this book and I can t wait to see what happens next, is Jaylahs son really gone, is Coco going to stay with Zeek.?

[Dawn]

WTF.... disrespectful, violent, abusive assholes are a turn on now? This was so dumb I am mad I wasted brain cells on this one. Coco went from bad to worse to just let me delete this book off my kindle right now and never look back.

[kclisha barnes]

[Jena Hannah]

Omg this book

This book was soooooo good I'm buying part 2 and 3! I love this Zeek character. So many twists and turns 😩

[Michelle Padilla]

Good

This one has a great storyline and I loved the characters. Storyline feels real and you could see some of the scenes happening right in front of you.

[Melissa Cooper]

Sooo many typos & grammatical errors distract from the story-telling. Needs an editor.

['The Book Queen']

Wrong side for sure

I guess my concern with this story is the way the men speak down to the women they deal with, and the women allow it to happen. Otherwise, the story was okay

[Tywanda Brown-Johnson]

Good read

This book was a good read, I gave it four stars due to grammatical errors. I will be grabbing part two as well.

[Vivian Lindsey]

[Leaux.]

An addictive, quick read 😊

[Sonya Davis]

So good

The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because I didn’t like the way Zeke talked to Coco…. That was a major turn off!

[Christine mccullar]

Oh wow

I think jay was stupid to let Quadir back n after all that time had past. That was one back of a cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what's next

[Nikki]

The story line was good…I would have given it 5 stars but the grammatical errors had me rereading sentences!!!

[felicia Viverette]
