But when the sound of a U-Haul backing in wakes him from his sleep, Malik realizes his peace is about to be disturbed.

A new place to live, a new neighborhood, and a chance to finally breathe is exactly what she needs, and exactly what she thought The Woodlands Community would give her. But her first encounter with the mysterious man next door leaves her wondering if moving there was the biggest mistake of her life.
Jade never imagined her curiosity would l land her on a missing persons report.

Safe and Protected
I wasn’t sure how this story was going to develop romantically, but I knew it was coming. I thoroughly enjoyed not only Malik’s protectiveness, but the way he came right out and told Jade everything that was going on. I don’t want to speak on Karter too much but I was slightly curious to know if he and “the assistant” had been creeping behind Jade’s back. If you had can drug use, there’s not telling what else a person will hide. I appreciated Jade being understanding, forgiving, and receiving of the way Malik went about protecting her. Question 🙋🏽♀️ how Jade sliding on Ma Ruth’s shoes if she don’t have legs? 🤣🤣 Finally, I wouldn’t mind reading a spin-off book focusing on Damion and Destinee 👀

Malik and Jade
Ummm so I thought this would be different but i still loved it. I loved the fullness of the book. Nothing was left to wonder. Now we did get a brief explanation of why Malik went to prison but I understand the focus. Malik and Jade were funny but I think it was their back and forth for me. The shoes in the car and also the hitting a parked car lol. Overall definitely a good book. Will read more from this author!!

Never to Late to Start Over
The title caught my attention, but the storyline stole the show.
I loved everything about this story! The drama, betrayal and the self awareness is what I really loved.
The banter between Jade and Malik was everything. I caught those double entendres.
RIP MA RUTH
Magnificent Read!

Loved Malik and Jade
Malik was a good man that went hard for his family. Once he met the right woman,she was able to bring all the feels. Couldn’t stand Karter and glad he was put in his place

good
This was good. Matter was a pretender. I think he loved her but he wasn’t in love with her. It was about what she did for him, and what it looked like to the outside world. Maliak showed her what real love was.

Malik had been just been release from jail and starting to enter the world again. Jade was trying to end a relationship and start her single life again. Both entering a new stage in life. Both seem to be what the other needed.
