Tears On My Pillow
It doesn't have to be true, it just has to seem true. This is a code that Jakari Roberson lives by. He definitely applies this philosophy to his relationship with Qia. He loves her with all of his heart and treats her like a queen. There isn't anything he won't do for her. However, Jakari has a big secret that he has managed to keep hidden from Qia for the past 14 years. He has finally made the decision to change, but is it a little too late?
In Qia's eyes she has the most loving, attentive, romantic, and faithful husband in the world. But, will the picture of her fairytale life shatter when she finds out what Jakari has really been up to? Will the love for her husband be enough to make her stay? Or, will his betrayal be enough to push her over the edge and into the arms of someone more deserving?
Take a journey with these high school sweethearts. It is certainly a long difficult one, but it will be well worth it if they can figure out what constitutes a marriage and if their marriage is really worth saving?

Wow!
My first book by this author and I am blown away! So much drama lies and deceit. Jakari is a straight ho. Qisha is dead wrong, I like Chandler I just which he would have stepped up more. The ending though OMG. I can't wait to see what happens next. A well written book I love it!

This book was like a Lifetime movie, or a soap opera, a great guilty pleasure with so SO much drama and lies, that you just can't put it down. Couldn't wait for part 2, so I started it immediately.

Plenty of drama as the prologue had me hooked. The storyline had me feeling as if I was watching a prime time TV show...Jakari was the worst when it came to being faithful...I felt bad for Qia all around as she truly loved him. Between Qisha, Kelly & Azia, not sure who I disliked the most. As I've read other books by Elle, this one is so far my fav & I'm looking forward to reading what happens next!

Qia is head over hills with Jakari. He is her world and will finally be her husband. Although they are very much in love Jakari has secrets that can ruin not only his life but also Qia.When tragedy strikes will things take a turn for the worst?
This was my first read from this author and this story had so much potential but it felt like something was missing. It could have used more detail and more character connection. An interesting read so I will give part two a chance when it drop.

Loved it.
I absolutely loved this book. From page one, I was drawn into the story. Jakari was doing just too much. How could he have one of his side chicks along on his honeymoon? I felt so bad for Qia. She gave him her all and he just couldn't get it together. I was totally shocked by that ending. I can't wait for part 2. Great job Elle.

This was a very good book. It had a lot of suspense that I never thought would happen. The character really did there part in making this book a success. I can't wait to start book 2 so I can see what is going to happen next.

Great book, Awesome story
The cover is what drew me to the book. It is absolutely amazing. I was immediately captured by the first page. The sex scenes in this book was on point and off the chain. Jakari started out as a jerk to me, especially with the honeymoon extra activities. He was immediately labeled as a dog. As I got to know him there was no doubt that he loved Qia. He is just live every other man, greedy. As a woman, I have been in Qia's place and I love how she put her foot down. She made Jakari realize what was important to him. Chandler is Jakari's brother and Qia's best friend. This makes it hard when his brother keeps cheating.
The twists and the constant turns is what made this book intriguing. This is different from your typical urban fiction book. The ending of the book is another big twist that makes waiting on part 2 hard. I highly recommend this book.

I am happy that Qia finally found out a out Jakari. I was hoping he was gonna turn over a new leaf & not mess up. They say a woman will be a man's downfall every now & then. Jakari just starts to have bad luck. Well they say what done in the dark will come to the light. He has been doing this stuff for so long he thought it was ok & he wouldn't get hurt. Qia sister should really be a shame. I'm not sure if she will get over the betrayal. Now with her condition will Qia make a move with Chan. So ready to go to part 2 to see what happens. Good read Elle you did that girl.

Elle Welch has penned an intriguing tale of love, lies & deceit that you can't put down! Qui & Jakari are high school sweethearts that meet via his brother Chandler, her best friend. Jakari is hiding secrets that eventually causes a whirlwind of trouble for the both of them. Awesome read that I would definitely recommend.

This book had me hooked from page one. I read this book in one day. I couldn't put it down. Qia is so in love with Jakari. Jakari can't seem to let go of the side chicks for Qia. The nightmare starts for Qia when she discovers he is not faithful like herself. I highly recommend this book.

Qia never thought that her new husband Jakari would ever betray her love for him but after become sloppy Jakari's indiscretions come full circle and threaten to destroy their wedded bliss. Love the sex scenes and the fact that Qia tried to be strong but Jakari was proof that no matter how much of good woman you are sometimes you just aren't good enough.

Wow
This is my first book by the author and I must say I'm highly, highly impressed. I kept hearing that I wouldn't be disappointed and I can honestly say that I wasn't. Great, believable storyline, juicy drama, and intriguing characters. I can't to not only ready part 2 but more of the authors work.

Tears On My Pillow Review
I really enjoyed this book and the title fit right in with the story. The way Jakari treated Qia that pillow should be drowned in wetness. It seems like karma is knocking on his door by the way the story ended. Hahaha

A tangled mess
I have no words to describe this story. Qias married to Jakari and he fools around. Then Qia finds out after years of infidelity. Then she takes up with his brother and her best friend. A tangled mess.
