Ugh I feel like I'm missing somethin.. Fire & Tavi?? Who is she in the car w/?? I was hoping that she ran into her Uncle Rah before the book ended.. I'm so confused to wats going on with her parents.. I feel like her dad isn't her dad and he's forcing her mom 2 do things.. Idk who is tho.. Maybe Rah.. I enjoyed the dysfunctional relationship between Fire and Desire.. I was so happy that she was able to get away from Jewelz.. From the moment he was introduced I hated his no good @$$.. After everything Desire is still standing, no letting anything or anyone, get in her way or bring her down.. Glad she finally gave Licha tha business.. Great job.. There were a few errors and name mixups but nothing to major..

Desire's parents were junkies that messed her life up. I wish she could have gotten away from them. Desire was a good girl. Sahari turned out being a friend and tried to be there for Desire. I like Fire but he just needs to be careful. I didn't like Jewelz or Licha at all and I hope they get what's coming to them.

Ok

The book had a decent story line but as the story went on it was a lot of misspellings and the characters were getting mixed up. But all in all I would read part 2

If your looking for some Drama you've got the right book ...The STORYLINE is captivating and compelling the Life the desire was forced to live was truly horrific her parents being both on drugs the life that she had on my God I was so sorry for her ,shatan got a hold to her in the form of her forced husband .....The imagination is a marvelous thing especially when you let it flow this author did just that from page 1 the degree of balance was impeccable this book addressed drug addiction as well as parenthood the things we do for the things we want Saraiah the best friend she needed to draw out the person within her.... Fire was my dude and he came though like a hurricane and gave her love and friendship for him the relationship gave him stability and helped him mature with the scheming Babylonian.....a loving mother to give this book a taste of a new life ....YOU ROXED IT ....THA ENDING THO.....CANT WAIT TO READ P ART 2. AWESOMENESS SISTA GREAT JOB

This twisted story left me utterly appalled. Desire is a young girl who was mentally and emotionally damaged from all of the chaos and drama she had to endured growing up. This book touch based on self worth, physical and mental abuse, finding self, learning to love again, as well as self control. My heart went out to Desire as I was reading this book Jewels is a sick and twitsted individual they debt her parents old weren't worth all the trauma Desire had to go through. Fire's and Jewels relationship were different regarding certain circumstances where as Jewel's is an evil malicious man, who don't have a conscious Fire is the opposite. Fire & Desire although a very intriguing read, it had a few errors and some parts had me wondering. With Fire dealing with a personal issue with Licia, as well as trying to look out for Desire things go side ways. In this book friendships were made, and broken, lies were told, a close friend is exactly what someone needed, and enemies collide. I can't wait until part two.

This is my first read by this author. I was impressed with the storyline itself, but it seemed rushed. I frowned while reading it because I was enjoying the story but the errors were everywhere. Missing words, missspelled words and words used in the wrong content. Jewelz is a monster and was detected as such in this storyline. If I could have ripped him from the pages and offer him myself I would have done so. The way he treated Desire was level zero. She was already coming from a broken home to ended up with his no good behind. Por child could catch a break until she pushed off on Fire. Now that young man there was just what Desire needed. Although she had to deal with Lucia's nonsense. I'm glad that Fire and Desire eventually needed up together and she has Sahara as a friend because the was this book ended she's going to need all the help she can get if that's Jewelz. I will be looking for part two because I want to know what happens.

Fire and Desire

I really enjoyed this storyline. I felt so bad for Desire. No one should have to go through what she went through. Her parents were just foul. How can you do that to your own child. Jewels made me want to choke him out. I despised him from the first mention of his name. I loved Fire. He was Desires saving grace. Licha and Ravi were as dumb as a bag of rocks. That ending has me wondering about a few things. Hopefully part 2 will answer my questions.

Wow...This book was a banger. Poor Desire went through some stuff. It's sad that her mom and dad gave her up like that to Jewelz. Jewelz was a walking demon, he did her so wrong. I think Desire make a good couple. If only his baby mommas get some act right. But then that text from her friend Tavi, was like omg he messing with her too.. That ending though. Evidently Jewelz is not dead unless it is Drake. Can't wait for part two.

Fire read

I love love love this book besides some grammar errors it kept me glued. Desire went through so much and still manage to bounce back she definately had God on her side . Fire came in her life just when she needed him but even with him trying to sweep her off her feet she still couldn't win for losing . Waiting for part 2 how it ended got me wondering ...

Man this book was sooo good. Jewels but made me want to beat the snot out of him. He was sooo dirty. Desire just couldn't catch a break!!! Thank God for her bestie Sahari. Fire... Good guy all around.. I mean he was a thug but you got to know them to love them right??. Rah... I wonder is that who she saw. I will most definitely be reading part 2

Liked this storyline.

The reason I chose this rating is because sometimes the story was written in third person and sometimes in first person. It confused me. Also there was a time or two when the wrong name was in the sentence. The story line is decent. I will definitely read part 2.
