These characters went thru some changes in their relationships & lives! Plenty of action as new problems appeared in almost every chapter. As with all the stories I read by Tynessa, I felt this was a great read & series!

What hurt the most 3

This book pick right where part 2 left off. I was hoping that Tez and Tan worked out there difference and become an couple. I don't even know where to start when come Lo beside that he was crazy and did not care who he hurt in the process. I feel that he gotten what he deserved. Bree I felt bad for her because she was really naive. I was glad to see that Shay step and decided to raised Brittany as if that she was her own. I glad to see Jay gotten himself together and is working on his relationship with Asia.

The storyline on this was pretty good... Things are building up, feelings are really being hurt, secrets are coming out, backstabbing is at its highest and lives are being lost... Then we have a few shocking moments... However, there was a few problems with some things really feeling rushed especially towards the end and the errors really picked up and started to draw away from the storyline... Then it was like it just kept jumping in time... But otherwise a good read...
Asia really stood her ground with Jay'vion... I was so happy for her and her new relationship with Ke... But he also had a couple of secrets of his own... Can Asia ever catch a break... I mean things are going great with them... But these things can kind of shake up a relationship...
It was crazy all the things that Jay'vion did... He was out here wildin... He thought with the way he was acting that Asia would really want to take him back over Ke... well he had another thing coming... Then the way he kept doing Stacy... Why did she keep opening the door for him to do this to her... It finally took this and this long for him to open his eyes, take accountability and finally grow up and realize that he really should have been listening to his mom...
Poor Tan it is like she just can't get it right no matter what... Then when she finally puts her foot down and makes a firm decision... This happens... Then she is hurt in the worse way multiple times and by the ones that she put all her heart and trust into... Now she has an even bigger hole in her heart... Can she even recover from all that she has been through...
Tez was so back and forth... He really does love Tan but there are so many obstacles in the way... No matter what he does to stay away from her to make things easier for both of them... It is like they are just drawn to each other... But so much hurt has been done can they even get past that... and now he is stuck with his girlfriend Grisela... But is this where he wants to be...
Kacey is just a whole hot mess... I mean the way he keeps trying to reverse things on Tan when he was in the wrong first and the worst... Then to stress her out so bad that this happens... See Kacey liked having his cake and eating it... But when Tan shut that down and things started coming out... We see where he really wanted to be and who he treated better... Now he wants to act like this... Boy sit down somewhere...
Lo was as dirty as they come... Just out here playing with people's lives...He really thought he was running the show... But look at what all his dirt has done to so many people's lives... When it comes to him... he is all about himself and it does not matter who he has to use or cross to get what he wants... But karma will always get you...
Well onto to part 4 to see how this will all play out...

RECOVERY and FRIENDS

Tangela definitely needed a break from it all!!!…She was loving 2 men, but hurt by one and hurt by the action of the other!!!!…She made a decision, and it was time she lived with it!!!…I hope she come back with a clear mind and if not being with Tez or Kace, get a new start, but make sure you are healthy, mentally & emotionally!!!…
Asia definitely was the MVP in this book because she stepped up and decided to raise the baby of the new man she met, even after learning he was married!!!…She didn’t let that make her see the baby differently!!!…
I was shocked at Bree’s action because I didn’t not think her emotions would take her on that type of roller coaster!!!…
Shay was the 2nd MVP, because she is raising her children’s stepsister because both parents are gone!!!…
This book was filled with good and bad drama that I was here for!!!…
I enjoyed the ride and can’t wait to see what is next!!!…

not what I expected

Reading this series was not what I expected it started off with so much back and forth mess between the coupled characters.then the girls couldn’t make up their minds if the would stay or leave the men it was a whole mess… but then it all came together so … there’s hope, so I thought until you get to book 3 Hmmph is where I’ll leave it.
Happy reading

Hurt people hurt people with

The its a lot of heartbreak and aches throughout this series. I glad people found a love but it hurts to see everyone in love and happy when you're going through something. I just hope that there is a light for Tan in the end she chooses with her whole heart.

Great Ending

Finally! It’s good to see that there are still authors that don’t rely on formulaic, predictable, fairytales endings. That alone was worth four stars to me.

I love all Tynessa books

But this one is different. It had so much errors in it. It was really hard to read. This should probably be proof read then republish it. Nice story

Drama is continued!

What Hurts The Most 3 (What Hurts The Most?) by Tynessa is a masterpiece and incredibly story. The storyline is on point. She did a fantastic job.

Tan and Kacey were unbelievable and unfaithful to one other. Kacey was willing to give his relationship chance but Tan refuses to forgive him and accepts his dirty laundry. Tan shouldn’t get mad at Tae for moving on with his life to another woman. Jay deserves to get a second chance to do better for himself and fighting to get his woman back in his life. Asia deserves get a flower 🌺 to step up for raising a beautiful girl as her own daughter.

I can’t wait to read part 4 of this book series. The characters are amazing and irreplaceable.

Good read

Not the ending I was expecting





Whats done in the dark definitely held no shade to the light in this finale. I just knew that Quintez and Tang would be together in the end. I knew that she didn't love Kasey liked she once did. Kasey and Quintez getting down was a much needed stress reliever for everyone so I had to agree with Jay on that one. Im glad that Asia took on the mother role for Keaunta's daughter because I don't know how she would of turned out with those relatives of hers in NY. When Tang lost the baby I know she was so hurt and blamed both herself and Kasey for all the stress she was bearing but to try to take her own life once Quintez, Kasey and even Asia with her step daughter. Maybe it was good for her to get away from the madness. I wish this Series wouldn't have ended so soon

So upset

Okay so I read the other books in this series and really enjoyed them. This one though I really didn't like how it eneded. I can't stand weak female leads and that is exactly what Tan turned out to be. I mean what is with females going after their own lives in this book. I just couldn't relate at all. I understand the feelings about the baby but dang really though. She did not have to take it there. Then what right did she have being mad at Tez, uhhhhh hello your the one who chose Kacey. Tez gave her his heart and she basically said no so what u mad for now. He had a baby just as she would have had the circumstances been different. Tan just really irked in this book. Glad that Asia got some kind of happy ending. That girl went through it all.

Tynessa you have done it again.I loved the series.I swear the drama,secrets and betrayal was real.I felt so bad for Asia and all the drama she went thru wit Jay and then wit Ke.I didn't think Ke was a bad guy but damn a wife you ain't say nothing about.But I loved how she stepped up to be a mother to Ke's little girl.So glad Jay was man enough to grow up and show Asia wat she wanted to see.Damn Tangela and Tez are a mess I can't believe they didn't end up together it makes me sad because I wanted them together.Im glad Kacey got wat was coming to his ass.Lo deserved everything he got. I'm proud of Shay too.Mad Tangela left.Hopefully their will be a spin off for Tez and Tang and one for Jay and Asia

Courageous

Round of applause for you Tynessa. What I liked most is you showed growth in Jayvion. You showed how people can mess up and change for the better. I also like how you didn't write another cliche. In real life boy don't always get girl. A lot of things stand in the way. I actually love how you decided to let Tan get herself together as a woman I get it. You showed courage by doing something different and that I appreciate. At the end of the day, it's your story. And you gave us a good 3 books. I enjoyed this series. Oh yeah I knew Ke wasn't 100

Good series but awful ending!

Okay so this was a very good series but omg the ending sucked on so many levels! I mean it left me wondering what was going to happen with Tang & Quintez! Just a lot of unanswered questions,man! The writer could have made the ending clear, rather than rushing the ending and leaving her readers lost. I'm assuming it's the end of this series because it said the end. Slightly disappointed!

What Hurts The Most 3

A good finale to this series. I think Tangela (Tang) made the right choice to work on herself. She did not need the drama-filled life that Kash and Quintez (Tez) brought. A good point was made about loving yourself first. Angela's character showed growth which was a pleasant surprise. Though reading that Jay & Asia got back together again was a lil' shocking to me. I will give this book 3*** for the characters and the storyline.

What hurt the most 3

I'm glad Tan is working on herself but the Chemistry her and Tez have for each other can't be broken. Hopefully we will get another book about Tez and Tan. Yes Jay finally got his sh!t together. Tynessa is there a book in the works for Jay and Asia wedding? Maybe that is when Tez can get Tan back??

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!

Tynessa this book gave me life. It was so good I could not put it down. I like that almost everyone got their happy ending but most of all I loved that this series went out with a bang. It was never a dull moment and it proved that the Heart knows best. Kudos I hope to hear from the characters in the near future especially TEZ that's Bae.

Omg I am so mad that my favorite two people did not end up together. I am happy Jay got his act together sometimes it takes for you too loose something before you can get it back. KAce was on some other stuff questioning Tan loyalty when he had whole new world he was living in smh. I am mad this is the last book but it was a good series. I enjoyed all the roller coasters.

I felt like thos series was a little too long it should have ended with 2 I dont know why everyone didn't see Lo was a snake. I felt loke Tez and Tang should have tried harder to make it work and should have ended up with each other. kace was a punk ass and i was so sick of him. Not so bad of a read but i did kinda skip a few pages to get to the point.

Wow

Part 3 was on point just like the other two. I couldn't believe that Ke was married. I was actually rooting for him. I'm glad the couples that I wanted to see together actually got it together

This book totally different from how I thought it would end. Tan I hope she really realized all of that drama and going between two men wasn't needed. I really enjoyed this book
