Restraining Order 2: A Tragic Love
When CHOPPA’s jealousy boils over, JULZ finds herself in the middle of the cold, dark woods, staring down at a grave he has dug for her. With a loaded gun in his hand, he threatens to kill her, himself or them both. If Julz is able to escape this frightening nightmare, will she realize that continuing to love her psychotic boyfriend might cost her, her life? It’s been said that love conquers all but the deep rooted problems that haunted Choppa made it much too dangerous for Julz to hold on to that hope. In the past, her heart beat strongly for him and her body craved his touch entirely too much that a RESTRAINING ORDER hadn’t been able to keep them apart. So, what will happen? Will they finally find the happiness they seek with each other? Or will their story turn out to be A TRAGIC LOVE?

Unrealistic ending.
This was a good series but the ending was too unrealistic to me. Jules in my opinion was weak and pathetic. She loved choppa more than herself and her son. This violent man beat her to a pulp through out both books then left her for dead. She ruined true friendships of hers because of him. He was a horrible person. I didn't like the way he had this miraculous turn around. That's not real. For all the dirt and horrible things he did, the killing of his best friend but he got no karma. Karma is real and when u do horrible things karma.a always gets u. Just because he changed and Jules stuck by his side males me look at her no differently. She is still weak and pathetic, even more so when she took him back the last time. I'm very disappointed in the ending. Choppa should have lost it all and she should have moved on. I'm sure the holy rollers will love the ending. I'm not buying it.

Kudos
I had mixed feelings about the events that took place in this series but never about the quality and talent of these two authors. I, wholeheartedly, recommend this read but hope, even more, that persons in abusive relationships who read this learn that the outcome is not always like this. I am amazed at how they took such a grim topic and still layered it with loving moments as they showed the side of forgiveness and love.

This was an amazing follow up to book one. I had so many emotions! I was angry as hell, sad, and felt bad! Choppa was a hard man to deal with and all I kept saying was "she's weak she needs to leave him". I guess I don't understand the idea of loving a man more than you love yourself. I don't want to spoil it for others who have not read it yet but please do yourself a favor and get this book! You won't want to put it down until you finish.

I want my time back
Maybe its me but, I was over this book from the start. Only a weak b*tch would put up that sh*t, then again they both was mentally ill. And to think a child was involved. I wanted Julz to love herself more than she love a monster......
The way the story ended was even worst, smh. Then again a Pastor would make since 👀.

Satisfied Reader
A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!
This book brought out emotions I didn't think I had. I never in my life wanted to go looking for a character but was afraid in the same breath. Choppa is one chess d person who needs serious help. His past definitely dictated his future. I couldn't understand why Jules remained in that type of relationship. Love don't always has to hurt. I never been in that type of situation and I thank god everyday that I wasn't put in a situation like that. No woman I mean no woman she prove her loyalty by being abused. I wanna fight Choppa but I also love my life. He had me scared and I was just the reader. This book was truly a reality check I also enjoyed reading it. Even tho I cried,laughed also had to take several breaks to finish. Great Job

As much of a page-turner as this book was, it was extremely long.
May 4, 2021
This book had so much going on... There was a lot of back and forth with Julz and Choppa... I was so over them... So many people got caught up in their drama and many lost their lives behind them...
Choppa really needed help... He was just so back and forth with his emotions... He was so out of control... Yet it didn't help that he had people in his corner that kept acting like it was okay... Always giving him a pass... Not holding him accountable ... Yet with the quickness everyone else needs to be held accountable... Why was he any different...
Julz... man what can I even say about her... I was so over her... She kept defend Choppa and everything that he did... She was always running to others for help... Just to turn on them as soon as he came back around... Then for her to be mad and hold grudges against her friends because they were only trying to help her to open her eyes and see Choppa for what he was... She saw what Choppa did to her so why wouldn't he do the things that everyone else is saying he did... Then even after she finds out the truth she puts herself in the worst position... I was like wait a minute Julz you are a mother and your son should be your number 1 priority... Yet you put your childs life in danger multiple times... And Choppa even threatened him... Yet it was okay... Julz was very unfit at that point... When she didn't walk away she should have just given custody of Justus to his father... Because after Justus went with Julz mom and dad for the summer... She just acted like she didn't have a child and she wasn't worried about him and his wellbeing and left him there for a long time because again she was putting this man before her child... I was so frustrated and angry with her... I was over reading about her... I was like whatever... Whatever happens to you it is your fault...
Then this big sudden change with Choppa... How is he still not taking his meds or doing counseling but he is 100% cured... Really... It was just to much... I was already over the whole back and forth... I mean come on... All these Innocent people had to lose their lives in order for Julz and Choppa to find a happy place... Just isn't right... Now they get to live their lives carefree... ugh...

read the series you won’t be disappointed
Book is awesome, a few errors but not enough to distract your reading. I had so many conflicting issues. In a twisted kind of way, Choppa was a good character that I liked bc I knew he had unresolved childhood trauma but I just couldn’t justify why he had to do Pop the way he did which caused a domino effect with Kim, 2 of his most loyal friends that loved him and they were planning a wedding. He took that away from them. I don’t know what to think about Julz, I really don’t know what to think about their relationship, it was toxic, possessive, obsessive and dangerous. I didn’t like how Julz did Fat-Fat and Tyriq, they were looking out for her well-being. And what really pissed me off is how they forced Marcel away from his son, Justus. They had a good father-son relationship, it wasn’t fair to them. Julz was just as sick and as much as a criminal as Choppa, she upheld all his crimes. She was an enabler. I like that Choppa made peace with his mom. Great job author.

Man o man
Man. What a sad story. But ain't God good? Mixed emotions about this story because even though God works miracles, the domestic violence in this book was too real. Julz came close to dying and she still stood by Choppa. I hope no one going through this and reading this expects the same outcome. She should have left. Period. She put her son and friends in jeopardy dealing with this bipolar, drug dealing maniac. All for love. Love doesn't hurt. And I don't know how you can love or trust anyone who makes you suffer to this degree. And then God shows up. A true testament to His miraculous works. I sound hypocritical. I know. And so did this book. Which is why I'm so torn. I was surprised how good this series was, especially part 2. Surely not for the faint of heart. But don't get it twisted, domestic violence is no joke and if you're going through, find a way to exit, fast.

Idk it's definitely worth reading and it will hold your attention but if you're looking for romance this is not the series for you k.

What A Rollercoaster Ride
July and Chopra epitomizes a modern day love story! With all the stresses of mental health challenges.....and having to look over his shoulder as a result of being in the game.......I was elated when they finally got to live in True love! I think I cried everytime July or Tavares cried. I didn't think I would recovery....when we lost Pop and Kim Marie!
But that's the beauty of Ca$h's writing!!!!!!! He has the ability to write a scene so vivid.......you either feel like you are in the midst of it......or you have lived it! I love being able to connect with the characters. .....and read the story as if I am watching a movie!!!!!!
AWESOME JOB AS USUAL CA$H!!!!!

Great series
OMG this was a good series. This book was excellent. Choppa had a lot of inside fury and pain buried inside of himself. The way he had treated Julez was horrible. He loved her but when the demons came out it was all bad. I love how the series ended. It just goes to show that with Faith life can be good. I loved the storyline and the f,ow of this series. I'm definitely going to read this again!

Anyone can change
Choppa had to go away to face his demons and came back a change man. God can do wonders but we must seek him . I'm happy that Choppa turned his life around and also glad that he didn't die . Justus was just protecting his mom thinking Choppa was beating her again. Julz saw something in Choppa that's why she stayed and proved their relationship was worth saving. This series is a good read and these authors did an excellent job writing it

Good read
I felt every emotion that Juelz did! A good job capturing the fear and every other fleeting emotion. Choppy was hard to hate and harder to love! Well written and great ending. God is the true healer honestly. And was glad it was written into the story! Mental illness is real and everyone doesn’t get the help they need.

This was a very good book. Part 1 & 2 did not disappoint! The book held my interest from beginning to end. I hated the outcome for some of the others in the book. I was even a bit salty with how things "changed" for Choppa but all in all I was happy for him and Julz. What's really meant to be will be....

OMG, I loved it! I swear it was a roller coaster ride throughout the entire book. At times I was rooting for the main characters, and other times I was just so angry with them. There were times I found myself yelling, cussing, and fusing at them as if they could hear me, lol. If you enjoyed the 1st book, I think you'll love this one as I did.

Excellente'
This tragic love story should be read by every woman who ever allowed a man to hit her. Some parts are left unexplained. China's mental illness couldn't have cured itself. There is no mention of him getting counseling or him starting to take his medication again. This was tragic, bittersweet and heartwarming at the same time.

That was so twisted. Man that Choppa was a piece of work. Julz was so strong to endure all of that.
