I found Dominique to be a very sympathetic and loveable character and she more than the others drew me into Nothing Can Come Between Us so that I felt I was embroiled in the story. Sha-lena I really felt for, and if I had a friend like her myself I would want to do all I could to be there for her. There is a lot going on here and plenty excitement along the way. I haven’t previously read anything by Works, but after this thrill-ride I know I’ll be back to read more. 5 stars from me.
Damn, this was my first read by Cherlina and I must say she did not disappoint. I was hooked from the very beginning, Mekiesha, was one of the wild jealous best friends that wanted everything her way. Plus she didn't mind getting her hand dirty to do so, she was very scheming, and grimy I can't believe how naive Sha’Lena was after all those years of everyone especially Dominique letting her know of the individuals she shouldn't trust. Instead she dismissed it, and still were around the individuals who were betraying her. I'm glad Dominique finally found love because her first love was beyond crazy. She's a real friend, and sister that sees right through people. It sad how when one person came around havoc seemed to follow. When the truth was revealed my jaw dropped because I would of never excepted the outcome, yet the saying goes that karma a bitch. This was a amazing read, ill recommend to anyone.
