Who Said Love Ain't Always Complicated?: Not Your Ordinary Hood Love Story

Rate this book
"Yes, I said sponsor. He ain't my man. He's just the man that keeps me in a beautiful decked out condo, nice sporty whip, fabulous clothes and any other thing my heart desired. I was his little secret, and I didn't give a damn, as long as he kept me living the life of luxury." Alexis was what most people would call a gold digger, but what she called herself was smart. Her "sponsor" was paying her way through college, every bill she had, and everything in between. In her eyes, she was winning because she could have all the amenities of being in a relationship, but there were no strings attached. At least, that was what she thought.Alexis finds herself in a whirlwind of trouble when her boo, Harry, gets caught up with his wife. That's right; he has a wife and kids at home. Not only does he have a family, but he's the pastor at a church in their community. Harry's wife threatens to ruin both of their lives if the affair doesn't end immediately.In the midst of all the drama that she has going on with Harry, she runs into an old friend, Jamari AKA J-Mac, from high school. They soon realize that after years of no contact with each other, the bond that they shared had never broken.Between family secrets, drama and going through hell with her sugar daddy's pest of a wife, Alexis may have too much baggage to bring into a new relationship. Or is J-Mac man enough to handle everything that comes with Alexis?

Wow!
Oh my that ending! Alexis had no shame in her game & had the lifestyle to prove it! J-Mac was a prince & his actions spoke volumes! Didn't care for Essie at all... I enjoyed reading this fast paced story as the storyline held my interest & I completed in a few hours. Great job ladies--I'm so ready to see what happens next!

Who Said Love Aint Always Complicated

Wow is all I can say. I wasn't ready for that information right there. My mouth is still hanging open. That Essie is the lowest of the low. Lexis has just been dealt a serious blow. How is she going to recover after that?

Checkmate

Wow! This was probably one of the best books I read in a while. There was so much drama that keep me invested in the story. My only problem with this was the formatting three me off at the beginning of the book. I would recommend this book to others.

Can you say Dysfunctional ???

This book was a trip. Lexi is all about making her coins and finishing school. Love for her is definitely complicated but not for long. An old yet new love enters back into her life and gives her the affection she's been missing, but it doesn't come with out drama. The authors show you a lot how certain families act in real life especially when they have their own dirt from the past. You will have a "I can't stand these chick either" relationship with these nasty Aunts. You also get hit with major jaw dropper too, one you wouldn't even believe.

Speechless

Omg!!!!! Very good read. Hope I don't have to wait to much more longer for part two. Definitely a page turner. I couldn't stop reading once I started and finished in less than two hours. J-Mac is bae!!!! Ugh will somebody knock Aunt Essie's butt off somewhere. Even though Lexi have a past, I love her!!!! Great read. Highly recommended. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Definitely Complicated

I loved this read! Well written and will keep your attention from beginning to end. Lexis definitely should have kept it real with him from the jump but I understand she was scared and embarrassed. Her auntie was grimey as heck but what she said at the end left me speechless. I can't wait for part 2! I recommend you get this a.s.a.p.

This story was engaging from beginning to end. Alexis was living the lifestyle that she didn't have to want for nothing. Essie was a piece of work heartless woman. J-Mac is truly the man for her. That ending was beyond shocking. Can't wait until part 2

Family Drama

Aunt Essie should be ashamed of herself. She should of been told Lexi about Harry. Glad J-Mac came back in her life. Denise needs to find a good man also. Please don't let the ending be true.
