He Exposed Me to the Real, Now I Hate Lames 2
In this second installment, the crew is back and is fighting for love harder than ever. Everyone has a secret agenda of their own that can ruin relationships and friendships. Only the strongest survive and the weak are exposed. Ashanta Scott finally got to her breaking point, when she had no choice but to leave Kwenya behind. She escapes to Mexico where she meets a stranger named, Jesse. Jesse takes Ashanta under her wing and shows Ashanti just how strong she is deep down, and how to seek revenge on those that crossed her. When Ashanta comes back, she isn't the same timid woman she once was, and in place is a scorned woman out for blood. Without Ashanta, Kenya goes down a road of self-destruction. Kwenya is out for blood and won't stop until he finds out what happened to, Ashanta. Rakita has plans of her own, she knows that without Ashanta in the picture, she can get Kwenya back into her life. Will her plan work or is it too late? Desi has plans of her own, to expose those who crossed her. She comes up with a plan that might cost her, her life. After Bishop finds out the truth, will it be too late to rekindle the love between him and Desi? The plot thickens, in the second installment. As only the strongest survive and the weak are exposed. Who will come out on top? Only way to find out is to join the crew and to see who is real in this urban tale of deceit, heartbreak and revenge.

I swear Natavia never disappoints. I hope Yolo knows what's up, Jesse just made me dislike her ass cause she's a snake in the grass and for somebody who really wants to know her daughter she have a hell of a way to show it. I'm really rooting for Desi and Bishop because they make a good couple, they compliment each other. They both did wrong so I hope they work it out and Ro with this stalker business need to get a life. Can't wait for part 3

Part 2 was a great continuation of the series. I really don't like Jesse at all. While a couple of them are my least faves, she has the number one spot. Looking forward to reading the finale

Ashanta has been made into a new person and I don't think Jesse is going to be ready. Desi is that girl and I hope her and Bishop can make it through. I love these characters and I'm totally rooting for the

I wanted to really like this one but it just seemed forced from the beginning. The way she ran off then met up with Jesse for that stupid plan was a mess. The point behind Jesse even coming into anything just for her to flip the script took away from the read. Then having him tied up, not sure if it was a year or fifteen but either way it was just dumb.
I thought Mondo was his brother but I’m not sure because her entire involvement was off. It was wrapped up in the end but how it all went down was just so forced it was over the top. Not sure about reading the next one because it seems like the way Chaos is going about things his situation won’t last long.

Puzzled
To many pieces in a puzzle that has different shapes and sizes. Everybody has a mask, hidden secrets and agendas. I love reading Natavia books. I laughed, cried, got happy and sad. Never a dull moment and the plot just thickens with each new book.

3.1 ⭐️
Almost rated it a 2 but certain characters kept this book floating.
It gets to a point.
Like yes this author has a way of making everybody being connected to each other flows but honestly after a while, coincidences runs out. Ain’t no way all these people are connected.
All these connections giving Tyler Perry movie. A Tubi exclusive.
First off I was 60 percent deep into the book when Ashanta & Kwenya finally meets back up, cringe.
The fake death plot, cringe.
The Ashantas, Chasity, Rakita & Chasity cousin whole arc / revenge plot was cringe. (Rakita being ex fed wasn’t even believable)
It felt like I was reading a whole other book within the book because it didn’t flow well. The whole Katrice character very cringe.
That fake bakery scene with Kwenya thinking he did that to his mom? CRINGE. It was not needed at all.
Ashanta changing over night wasnt believable. She spent like 3 days in Mexico. When she had time to learn anything from Jesse fr?
Desi was really becoming one of my favs ughhh im so mad she did that to Bishop. I’m tired of their back & forth honestly. He shouldn’t take her back after that.
Ree Ree is honestly main character energy. She needs her own book. I be tuned in whenever she pops up and it’s rare from me to love another person storyline outside the main character. I’m mad at Jada ughh.
Now all of a sudden Ashanta this baddass?? Jesse suppose to be this scary rich queen pin but she gives regular degular the way these characters be talking to her. Her character doesn’t give at all.

Now this is more like it....funny and sweet with a twist of mystery
Ok, so this is part 2 and there is more, way more drama than necessary.
Everybody got what they deserved and karma got them good. From Chasity who became crazy, to Damos who is no more to Rakita who is waiting her fate to Bernie who...well I am not going to spoiled this.
Poet, man you are so bad, such a snitch... I truly hope you can get away from this.
Jada, you deserved to have karma visit you and Desi, why, why would you do something like that.
Ashanta you are the man, the woman and everything else... I love it. You and Desi are my Shero
This gang is off the chain and let me see if the finale is a bust or a trophy. This was very funny, sweet with a twist of the best mystery ever. I just love how everything came to it.

I still enjoyed the characters in part 2. In my opinion ,I just felt as if the story was prolonged. Its also like the writing wasn't as good as the first part to me. It still had its little laughs and i was grateful for that. I was honestly going to stop reading about 75 percent in because i was loosing interest but i pushed amd red to the end.

No one would’ve thought
This book is so good, I love how the author keeps the characters full with events. They all have something going on and a story to tell. I love the twist Natavia did with Jess playing the savior with Ashanti but then falling for her man because Jess feels Ashanti isn’t enough for him. Great book waiting for book 3

STILL A FIVE
A Five. The only criticism I have is that the main plot came too early and the story seemed to drop. I did not give up and guess what? It picked up again! Now I ready to see what the end is gonna be!

This was very suspenseful. I was captivated by how Ashanta's plan played out. Can't wait to see Yolo & Ree, Ashanta & Jesse, Chaos & Kwenya, Quay & Serene. I hope Bishop finds forgiveness in his heart for Desi.

That ending!!!! Wilddddd. This installment of the book gave us so many more twists and turns. Things I definitely see coming at all. I really like Desi i feel for her a lot. Ashanta bossed up a lot in this book but she still a little weak minded to me. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Good, fast paced, well thought out plot. Quinia, Ashanti, Desi, Bishop, Yolo, ReRe and the gang are still going through their ups and down and I'm still wrapped up in their story.

I loved it! Business was handled in this book, but some hearts were broken as well. On to the next......
