Malik Thomas’s life is on the path to happiness. His divorce to his ex-wife, Rebecca is final which has freed him up to marry the woman of his dreams, Alexis.

He’s trying to juggle an ex-wife, a one-year-old child, multiple businesses and a fiancée. He’s bound to drop the ball on one of them.

Rebecca Thomas is struggling with her new role as a divorced, single mother. Despite the drama that her ex-husband, Malik, brought to her life she still misses him. While trying to navigate the muddy waters of co-parenting, she struggles with nursing her broken heart. Did she make the right decision in letting him go?

Alexis loves Malik, but the baggage that comes with him is heavy. Her desire to be his wife is the only thing that outweighs her hatred for his ex-wife. Alexis is determined to protect the man she had to rebuild from being destroyed by the woman who broke him… and she’s willing to do it by any means necessary.

What do you do when you have to choose between your future and letting go of your past?

Wow. The passion and drive that these characters have is nothing short of remarkable. Mrs Brown has penned a work of art here that will keep you turning pages long after you've said, "I'll stop here."

All That Matters In The End is a story about love and the complications that come with it. Malik finds himself torn between two women, one from the past who has his child as well as his heart and another who he's engaged to presently. The drama REALLY unfolds when his ex falls for someone with their own baggage and his fiancee finds that someone else has fallen for her! Oh what a tangled web, indeed!! With an unexpected ending that answers so many questions, this book definitely leaves a reader waiting to find more work by this fantastic author.

Way to go Ms. Brown! This book was an easy read, flowed beautifully, and had highly relate-able characters. The story did not turn out anything like I expected, and even though some of the plots seemed a little far fetched, the book still stayed strong. Perfect light read with short chapters for those that want to catch a few words before bed. I would definitely read more of your work!

Malik's Redemption

I was not a Malik fan at all, but everyone has a shot at redemption thanks to God's grace. His grace period lasted through two books. Poor Alexis was so damaged that she was like a lightening rod for mistreatment. I can't understand the pain she must have felt through her young life.

Part 2

This sequel flowed right from the first book. The story is very relateable in how relationships can be good, bad and can get very ugly at times. This sequel was great! Looking forward reading more books from Phoenix Brown
