Book 5 of the Sweet Series
Sonya
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be someone else? Sonya Elise Jamison-Thompson knows exactly how that feels. She’s known her entire life that something was wrong with her. As early as the age of 4 years old, Sonya has had an explosive temperament that had gone undiagnosed for over 20 years. Her amazing good looks helps her get away with a lot and causes men in particular to dismiss her questionable behaviors. When she meets her family and learns about her biological mother’s irrational decisions, she eventually seeks medical attention, but not before wreaking havoc in the lives of everyone she knows. Sonya gets stability through medication and family support. However, when she meets Kai, who’s ten years her junior, she decides to keep her explosive past and current diagnosis under wraps. Can Sonya keep the façade going to keep Kai around?
Kai
Kai Nathaniel Booker has had to be a man almost his entire life. Growing up with a mentally ill single mother, made him grow up extremely fast. He’s seen and been through a lot for his 24 years. His life changed forever when his mom died, the one woman he loved with all of his being. After being taken in by his half-sister at the age of 15, Kai had to survive the best way he knew how. His sister’s live-in boyfriend Trey, turned him on to the drug scene, and he’s been hooked to the thug life ever since. Kai’s thuggish personality and demeanor, not to mention his intimidating stature, helps him avoid a lot of drama; that is until he meets Sonya. Her luring personality, and gorgeous looks pull him in. Will he allow Sonya to penetrate his rough exterior and invade his heart?

WOW
This series just keeps the drama going. Mental Illness gets real in this book and Sonya is suffering badly. I just wish the family stepped up sooner for Sonya when they noticed her spiraling out of control. Sean was wrong for his role in sneaking around on Serita. I was happy for Devin and Sidney. They are actually my favorite couple in this series. Can't wait to read what's to come in book 6.

Speechless & Disappointed
Well 🤬‼️Really, Shawn (the ink ain’t dry on your divorce papers🥴) & William (the steam is raising from your cancer treatments) 🙄⁉️How trifling‼️‼️‼️Can anyone define and spell the phrases 🤬 “self control” “self respect” “common decency” … “sister in law”…”daughter in law” 😬🥴🤬🤦🏾♀️‼️Nasty 😡🤬🤬‼️Honestly, I’m freaking livid, speechless, discussed & disappointed at all of the men that exploited Sonya and capitalized on opportunities to have their sexual needs fulfilled by Sonya rather than see the humanity of her condition in crisis and mental instability! …the Jameson-Taylor’s endless drama🥴🤔🤦🏾♀️‼️Does anyone intend to learn from their previous experiences/mistakes! Apparently, heck NO! It’s the same BS just a different book🤦🏾♀️😮💨😮🤯‼️”Sweet Surrender (The Sweet Series - Book 5 of 8) was also difficult to read 😢 (even with the Author’s trigger warnings). Unfortunately, I reiterate, no thanks to Sarah, all of her “female” offspring are emotionally, physically, mentally and hyper sexual women who have/are suffered/ing the residual affects of Sarah’s parental negligence and or are still victimized/traumatized for life 🥴🤦🏾♀️😡‼️ …Storm ⛈️ clouds are always hovered over Beaumont, TX 🫣…certified crazy town & drama central USA‼️

WHAT A ROLLER COASTER RIDE
I don’t know how I feel about Sonya and Shawn falling back into a relationship!!!…I was truly hoping that Kai and Sonya worked out because Sonya and Shawn seem to love each other, but it seems based on their past teen age relationship, not an adult relationship, and the fact that he was married to her sister and father children with her is a no line crossing reason!!!…
Although Sonya was struggling with a mental disorder, to sleep with you sister’s ex husband and that ex husband’s father is too much!!!…
She needed a fresh start just like Kai!!!…I’m still hoping that Kai and Sonya find their way back to each other because for sure, her and Shawn are comfortable, but there will be a few disturbing moments because they have not dealt with each other as adults outside of sexual interactions!!!…
I’m glad that Sidney and Devin found their way back together!!!…
I can’t wait to see what is next!!!!

Amazing Read
Sonya has truly gone through a lot. Mental illnesses is serious and most people don't realize just how bad. She and Kai went through some things in their relationship due to her illness, but her loved her so much. You could also tell just how much Shawn still loved her from the way he handled her. It's crazy how things are happening, but I know severe drama will come when this comes out. I couldn't believe she slept with the dad! Can't to see what happens next!

Wow!
Sarah really destroyed her daughters. DNA is real and mental health is serious. I feel so bad for Sonya. She was never taught how to love and is probably incapable of being in a rational relationship. Her mind is not healthy and she see's sex as therapy. Poor Kai, I'm glad he chose himself. Shawn is a glutton for misery...periodt!

What in the world
I couldn’t even foresee this books twist and turns if you paid me. These Jameson sisters and Taylor brothers are all broken and as a reader you feel like you are spying on a ticking bomb and I’m here for every minute. Damn these characters all need to be committed!

Agony!
These misfits are interfering with my sleep! Having read some other books with these characters without the background is making it hard to get to where I know it’s going. Still it’s so intriguing! On to the next book! The author is right these books need to be read in order.

No loyalty, morals or love
This is a story of families some blood related some not. Story of mental illness and the men who prey on these women who have it. You come to find out that nobody really loves no one. I keep reading and hoping that someone would actually care for someone else enough to have some self-control 🙏🏾. The story is intense and very well written.

Drama
This family has so much going on you it makes you feel so many different emotions. I'm hoping to see the light at the end of this series but something tells me there is more drama to come. I love that the author shed light on mental health and therapy and how helpful it is. This book was really good and interesting I'm eager to see how things turn out for Sonya.

Sweet Surrender
Sonya’s mental health was so loud in this story and her actions swallowed up any logic. Kai loved Sonya but her inability to control her mental health stopped their relationship from succeeding. William took advantage of Sonya and that was wrong of him. Hope Sandra leave him! Happy for Sidney and Devin’s rekindling of their relationship.

Taylor’s and Jameson’s
Soooo why is Sonya screwing the damn family? Even in her mania, she could’ve chosen better. I didn’t like this. It was hard for me to read. Shawn is wrong. Two vulnerable people make bad decisions..smh

Whew!
Sonya is something else!!! I wish this wasn’t the end for her and Kai! I love them together but I understand. That’s a good thing he left. But damn Sonya is crazy as hell! I’m so tired of Shawn it makes no sense, him and Dramarita (Serita).

Mental health imperative
I certainly enjoy the creativity of this author. She combines real life with her writing. I have not had a bipolar illness but I do know people that are mentally unstable. Two more books to go in this series and I am excited and sad.

Sloppy and nasty
Sonya with mental disorders and all there is no excuse for all she did. However everyone else was sane so the part they played in her deception is ridiculous. I’m disappointed but great book

Sonya!!
This was indeed a wild ride. Mental illness is soo serious, and sadly it's not talked about enough. Sonya has quickly become a favorite character of mine now too. I hope she wins!!!

Genetic
I have heard that the mother's genes is the most dominant. This book is a true example of that statement. The mother was bipolar crazy. Great reading
