Nylah Monroe never chose this life. What started as a surrogacy agreement pulled her into Saint Delacroix’s world, and loving him meant accepting everything that came with his name.
The money. The luxury. The power.
And the danger.
Living good was cool, but loving a Delacroix meant living in the mouth of a menace. Lately, that love has come with too many secrets and too much betrayal.
Now, someone is watching from the shadows. Waiting and building toward something business cannot fix and money cannot make disappear.
This time, it is personal.
Saint Delacroix does not move like most men. He is silent, calculated, deadly, and always thinking ahead. But for the first time, somebody has been patient enough to wait him out.
They do not just want Saint’s money or power. They want everything he built and everybody he loves along with it.
That changes everything.
Saint has never been the type of man to let somebody touch what belongs to him and walk away breathing easy.
But Nylah is not the same woman she was when this started. Designer clothes, luxury cars, and money could never prepare her for what the streets had waiting.
She entered Saint’s world because of a contract.
Now, she is standing beside him by choice.
As secrets come out, loyalty gets tested, and bodies begin to drop, Nylah must decide how far she is willing to go for the man she loves and the family she fought so hard to build.
Some women fall for a menace.
Some women survive one.
Nylah?
She learned how to rise beside one.
And when the smoke finally clears, the streets are going to know her name.
If you’re a fan of African American romance, surrogate love stories, protective alpha men, street romance, family loyalty, dangerous love, and certified menaces who do not play about the women they love, then Surrogate to A Certified Menace 3 is the explosive finale you’ll want to read.
Sebastian didn't ask to be of any of this, but when your family member is beefing with the other person you are collateral damage. The bomb was meant for Saint. I now understand why Sloane asked Nylah to be a surrogate. To make up for a whole list things like getting her fired, not telling her about her mama, Dre and making her sign that contract. Each brother had their own businesses. Sebastian was in the political world, Sterling was in the corporate world and Saint was in the illegal world. Vanessa wanted to be apart of the business, she emasculated Sterling like he didn't know what he was doing. Didn't the family lawyer told her to stay the business. She greedy, tried to stay one step ahead. That's why Terrance had her killed it killed her himself because he couldn't trust her. Nylah killed Terrance because the bomb was meant for Saint and trying to get her brother caught up in something that didn't have anything to do with. Nylah met the good side of Terrance family because Saint wouldn't trust their daughter to anybody. I'm happy that Sterling and Saint repaired their relationship ,but it didn't even need to be repaired Vanessa was just in the way. Sloane went on to be with August and Sebastian.
I’m happy this was the finale but I’m upset how things were swept under the rug. Vanessa deserved what she got because of how she was. I never liked or trusted her. The hate she had for Nylah was crazy especially since Nylah didn’t do anything to her. Sterling was blind and weak because how could everyone see the type of person Vanessa was but him. Terrence was working with his mother Teresa and Raymond’s wife Evette so how in the heck was Evette ok with meeting Nylah at the end? Plus why is the timeline a year later but the baby is still being carried in a carrier and being talked about like an infant?
I thought this was going to lead to another book in the series. I felt like parts of this story were vague. Yeah, you knew the snakes but some of the parts just felt unfinished to me. Vanessa got what she deserved. Sterling was sneaky on the low but he got it together. Not my favorite book decent read.
This series was good! I was glad that Vanessa was finally gone. I’m still mad Sebastian died but he looked out for his family from The grave. I thought sloane was going to make it but I guess not
LaToya Wright is a master at storytelling for sure. This is my first book by her but I am going back to read them all. This series is so good. Detailed. Everything fit. All around amazing.
This book was a romance and a mystery. There were so many secrets that as soon as you found out one there was another. The love was slow, and it developed throughout the story. Great Read.
Well that went left quickly. I’m sorry I don’t feel sorry for Vanessa at all. Although I will say I so didn’t see that coming. I was so happy to see Nyla boss up in this book
Great Series. I was surprised that Nylah actually killed her brother. I am proud of her. Saint definitely has a real one in his life. I an happy for Sterling also
I absolutely loved this series. It was great from the very beginning. I love the way it ended. I highly recommend this as a great book/series to read. Latoya you did a great job with this series.
Whew! What a series that was! I enjoyed the wild ride they took me on and was finally glad Vanessa was… lol. Sterling finally found his happiness, and Nyla steps up!
