Holla At Somebody Real: Bella and Ball's Undercover Love

Rate this book
Bella and Kai are the true definition of ride or die friends. They’ve had so many ups and downs that should have broken them, yet the trials have only made them stronger. Flaws and all, their bond is unbreakable.

Kimball, better known as Ball, and Charles enter the picture accepting Bella and Kai for who they are, which is new for them. Unfortunately, their knights in shining armor have some issues of their own. They're coming up in the game, but are facing obstacles that may prevent them from growing due to the jealousy of the connect’s brother. But are Ball and Charles really in the game, or playing a game themselves?

Charles is in a dead end marriage that he's thinking about ending for Kai if she can get herself under control, while Ball finds himself falling for Bella, whose hard exterior is turning him away. He wants to believe that Bella is worth saving, but she’s proving to be a difficult case to solve.

Not to mention that Charles and Ball have some secrets that could ultimately make the ladies question who they really are. Sex, love, secrets and lies make for a devious combination when you walk blindly into an undercover love.

Holla at somebody real.

This book was good and it did have my attention from the first page. I loved the relationship that Kai and Bella had they had each other back no matter what. Kai is dealing with a lot of demon and I hope she get herself together. Mack is crazy and need to be delt with. Devon is crazy I should have known she was up to something. I loved ball and Bella relationship I'm definitely going to reading part 2.

Good Read

I wish I knew about this book in 2016 but that's okay I'm glad I was able to read it today. First I want to say how I love Bella and ball together. I'm kind of sad that Kai has been low self-esteem and start doing drugs that's kind of sad. I wish Charles would have told ball that he was leaving the game. Devon needs to be shot in her throat bitter b. Overall this is a good book.

Ms. Ro Monique captivated me with this read right from the gate!!! She ignited my emotions from one end of the spectrum to the next. I laughed, I cried a few times, and I was anxiously scratching my head pulling out my alter ego, Boonquisha screaming WHET in a very loud voice at some of the character's antics!!! Bella was my favorite character I think in the whole book but there were times that she made my WHOLE BEHIND ITCH with her ghetto foolishness. She was on the right path and had the right idea of doing the right things at the right time to morph into a better version of herself but sometimes she would forget all about that and pull a move so FOOLISH that I just wanted to jump inside of the story and scream, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??(There I go talking out loud to characters again. Just my own brand of crazy! SUE ME!! LOL) I digress. The friendship and relationship that Kai and Bella cultivated was really a beautiful thing to witness. I absolutely adore the depiction of sistergirls that are genuine and honestly open with one another. Now Ms. Kai though was a mess and a half ALL BY HERSELF!!! But to be truthful I empathized and understood why and where she was coming from. To have the type of childhood that she had she didn't have any choice but to have a few things about her that needed some work. Ball was a man's man. He didn't allow Bella to act a certain way and he held her responsible each and every time she stepped out of character. Those are the attributes of a good man who is willing to lend a helping hand to the woman that he deems as worthy. Now good old Charles. Charles was actually the zen to Ball's hot-headedness but their friendship like Bella and Kai was just destined. They complimented one another so well and what one lacked the other made up for in spades. The relationship that Kai and Charles had was one that I really want to see go far. I think he possesses the qualities that she needs to help pull her up from what she went through as an adolescent. Overall this was a 5-STAR BANGER for real!!! And in the words of my alter-ego Boonquisha, HUNTI CHILE DON'T MAKE ME WAIT TOO LONG FOR PART 2!!! Seriously if you haven't gotten the gist of what I am trying to say yet, GO OUT AND ONE-CLICK IMMEDIATELY!! Ms. Romonique's writing style seems to grow and expand with each new release. She is truly a force to be reckoned with and has quickly solidified her position in the game as a young writing ingenue on the rise!!! This young lady is hard at work to prove to the world that she has indeed earned her spot and she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Kudos Ms. Ro Monique. Keep dropping hits like this one and I will forever be a HUGE FAN!!!

I liked both Charles and Ball from the start. Bella was beyond ghetto at times and truly met her match when it came to Ball. Bella met someone real and didn't know how to handle it. Poor Kai. She seemed as if she couldn't catch a break and needed to seek some serious help to deal with her issues. With Bella, I liked her drive but at the same time she could be a bit overboard. I felt bad for Lisa because all she wanted was for things to go back to normal. Just when Charles realized it was time for a change it was too late because he lost more than he bargained for. Here I was feeling sorry for Devon only to realize that heffa can't be trusted. Who would've ever guessed she'd be involved in the unthinkable. I already don't like Mack and I can't wait for someone to give him a reality check. Ball proved he was as real as they come and even though he has a secret I'm hoping his feelings are genuine. I can't wait until part 2 because things are bound to go left if Mack walked in on Kai, Devon's plan backfires, Charles walks away before getting in touch with Ball, or Bella has an issue once finding out Ball's true occupation.

Gifted this book by author

I was gifted this book by the author, Ro Monique. Overall, the book had a good storyline. However, it had to much cussing. "Bitch this, and bitch that." Some parts dragged.. For example: "How come you acting like this Bella?" I asked her. "I don't know Ball." She answered. "You the only one for me." I told her. "I don't know if I can trust you." I said to him.

That went on for almost two pages.

All books don't need a part 2, 3, 4, and 5. One part was enough. But again, a good storyline......Ro Monique gifted me part 2, also, so I'm about to hop into that right now.

Bella and Ball

This is a fairly new author, and I must say that has hit the ground running with this one. I was drawn in immediately. So much drama, secrets, and lies. And let's not forget all the twists and turns. I couldn't stop turning the pages. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I loved Bella and Balls relationship. Bella was ghetto and crazy, but in a good way. I felt so bad for Kai with all she went through as a child. I hope that they get to her before something worse happens. I need part 2 asap. Kudos to the author.

Crazy Folks

Destiny must really look like her mother for Ball to notice something ain't right. Kai acts like she's the only person that ever happened to her. She's just using that as an excuse to be a whor3. Bella need to learn how to let someone in and love her. I can't wait until Mack and Devon get theirs

A well written story that will keep you wanting more. The author does a great job keeping the story flowing and you will find yourself screaming, laughing, and loving the main characters. It touches on some serious issues and the effects it can have on someone's life.The author's writing style is descriptive keeping the reader attentive, engaged, and interested. Can't wait for Part 2.

Holla At Somebody

I loved Charles and Ball. Ball couldn't get any realer then what he was. This story had some twists and turns in it. Am ready to see what happens in Book 2.
