Well I'd be damn! I normally don't do series. But this one right here! The tea is real. This author truly connected this book to the first one. The emotional storylines of friends, lies & erotic sex continues. Marriages, babies, tears, etc. These characters have made some lifelong decisions that have changed their lives forever. Marcus & Shelby are proof that true love wins. Acceptance, forgiveness& facing your fears are important when dealing with matters of the heart.

Crazy
So glad that Shelby and Marcus were able to find a way top work things out. Marcus knew he was wrong as too left feet for not hearing her out. Freeing her from the abusive ex and making a way for her to get her baby was heartwarming though. Now Sarai was dead wrong for keeping her relationship a secret for so long. Can't wait to see how that turns out.

I thought this book was awesome. I love series once you’re finished one book the next one picks right up and you can really still enjoy the characters. Some couples were really great some couples had a long road to travel. I couldn’t find the third book so I bought the 3 book trilogy. One of my new favorites.

Maaaannnn I so wasn't ready for all the secrets that came out in this book.. Babies..Married..10 years.. That really threw me for a loop.. I was happy to get a look into the other character's lives.. Marcus and Shelby had so many issues on their own (not 2 mention everybody else).. I'm glad Marcus was able to overcome the things that was holding him down and be able to make things right with Shelby.. I love the way he went about everything with her situation and handled things so she didn't have 2.. The way he took to Ari so fast was great (I love that name especially since it's also ma daughter's name).. Poor Dr. Warren.. If she wasn't already old & gray she's definitely gunna be that way soon dealin w/ all these crazy folk.. I enjoyed the face that all the men in the book were legit businessman.. Great Job Phoenix.. I'm fiending for pt 3..

OMG
I'm speechless you have left me shaken. I didn't figure it out until the next to the last page. Then I remembered the name. I want to say more but they won't get it from my review they can look at the other reviews and get the whole book. All I can say if you read part 1 in this series you know how Phoenix Williams do. You won't be disappointed. Part 3 all I'm saying is take your time because I don't want nothing left out. I'm still speechless on how nobody knew about this for all these years. You Got Some Explaining To Do Phoenix. Damn
