**UPDATED VERSION HAS BEEN UPLOADED**

One of the most bizarre love stories, that you'll ever read...

Erika and Dominique are drowning in a loveless marriage.
Having done everything in her power to save it, Erika throws in the towel when not 1, not 2, but 3 of her husband’s mistress’s show up at their home. Shattered and fed-up, she embarks on a path of vengeance that neither of them are prepared for…

Tired of being on the back burner, Kizzy shows up at Dominique’s home to claim what’s hers. For a half a decade, she’s been on the sideline and she’s about had enough of it…

It was only sex, fun and games for Yadee, until she broke the side chick cardinal rule and caught feelings. Now she wants her cake and to eat it too.

Kae is a monkey wrench in everyone’s plans… a surprise that undoubtedly alters the competition for Dominique’s love.

Told from the perspective of a broken wife, Cracked is an unsettling tale about two seasoned lovers, haplessly racing towards a devastating and chilling end.

Where do I begin? This was one of the craziest relationship stories I have ever met. It held my attention from the first page with constant drama, witty comebacks, gruesome crimes, and a dip into the mind of a person with multiple personalities. Erika is a devoted wife, but her mistake is choosing to stay for too long, and holding on to a man who had let her go a long time ago. Dominique is a cheater like no other. He has no remorse for his cheating and views his lovers as notches on his belt (which is quickly running out of room). Erika's days are spent searching for her husband and begging for his affection, that is...until his infidelities decide to show up at her door one by one, changing Erika's life forever. The drama that ensues will have your heart racing and your fingers bleeding form the paper cuts you will receive trying to turn the pages in order to find out what comes next. Cracked will prove that love really ain't ish.

Very good read!

Held my attention from beginning to end smh. Dominique was one of a kind, just down right trifling. I knew something was up with him though. He was to mean to women for it not to have been smh. Erika put up with a lot from him smh. Definitely a five star read.

4.7 stars rounded up

Erika Pawn is loving dutiful wife who has dedicated her life to her husband Dominique Pawn, but he’s hiding a not so “secret” secret, more than one in fact. When all truths she had tried to turn a blind eye to literally come bursting down the front door of her house, how will she react?

This book was a wild ride!!! It’s just shows you that even the most loving people eventually snap irreversibly if pushed to the right extremes.

Good pacing and dialogue between the characters, although I will say that at times some of the back and forth was long winded.

It's crazy what love will push you to do! It can break you, hurt you, torment you, or make you into a monster. This story is the perfect example of how love can have the last laugh

Okay, for those who read my reviews, you know this is not a book I would have purchased. The topic and genre are not ones I typically gravitate toward. But I never back down from a promising challenge. You never know when you’ll find a gem.


This is a very blunt book. The author does not sugarcoat anything. One man has his wife along with several other women he keeps around, and he’s not shy about taking on a transgender one either. His world starts to fall apart as they all appear on his doorstep, and it gets ugly. I mean ugly!


The author has a very unique style of writing. I tried to find fault with it as it does not conform to typical writing rules, but I couldn’t. If the sentences and paragraphs were moved around and rewritten, it would have lost so much of the power of the story. She focuses on dialogue which carries the reader through. What narrative there is provides just enough for the reader to get a general idea. There are no specific descriptions of clothes or settings. You get caught up in the dialogue and can still see the action in your mind.


This book does contain graphic violence and sex. As I stated before, she does not sugarcoat anything. The reader is slammed with an intense story that will have them confused who to root for.


If you choose this book, realize what you are getting and that you are going to read a unique writing style.

Note: I was provided a copy of this book by the author with no expectation of a positive review.

From opening to EERIE ending, "Cracked" was unlike anything I've ever read!

For years Erika has turned a blind eye to Dominique's infidelity and tried to remain ride or die but REALLY how much hurt and pain can one woman stand? With 3 unruly side pieces showing up at her door and having ALL caught feelings, there's NEVER a dull moment when Erika CRACKS so prepare to pull an all nighter!

Besides the editing, this story was well written, entertaining and out the box!

EyeCU Reading Approved!

Ms. Obsession Is A Brilliant Storyteller...

"Cracked (Love Ain't Shh... Book 1)" is the ninth of Obsession's stories for this reader; that, alone, should tell you something. The author has an amazing talent for making the reader become emotionally invested in her characters. This is definitely true of Erika and what her husband, Dominique, puts her though. This book could just as easily been titled, "Snapped"...
Loved it!!

CRACKED

THIS WAS A VERY GOOD READ HAD ME ON THE EDGE ON MY SEAT WANTING MORE. THAT ERICKA/JESS WAS SOMEBODY U DID NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH. I REALLY WANTED TO PUNCH DOMINIQUE IN THE FACE THE WAY HE WAS TREATING THOSE WOMEN BUT THEY ALLOWED IT SO... I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AT THE RELATIONSHIP DOMINIQUE HAD WITH KAE. DOMINIQUE HAD THE THREE AMIGOS ERICKA, KIZZY AND YADEE ON LOCK. IM GLAD GREGORY CAME ALONG WHEN HE DID TO RESCUE ERICKA. LOOKING FORWARD TO PART 2. MUST READ

Wow what a crazy ride!

A very crazy story of infidelity, revenge, mental illness and ultimately death! There was so much going on in this book and one thing was for sure Dominique kept pushing til Erika snapped and the infamous Jess rears her head and things turn deadly! I did enjoy it though some freaky mess was going on. My only complaint a lot of grammatical errors editing is needed. Will read more from this author Obsession!

My word!
Now while I enjoy reading about people out of touch with reality, these characters were off the charts. If fact all the characters were on the brink of insanity. If there were EVER a dysfunctional couple, Erika & Domonique would win an award. I started reading this story late last nite, fell asleep & completed it early this morning. I really felt sad for Erika & what she went through & I understand her fury. Nonetheless, this was an entertaining story & I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.
