Will Jaden live to confront his past demons? Will Keller and Tigga finally get it right and raise their child together or will Keller do the unthinkable?

Awsome
I really enjoyed this from beginning to end, Jaden matured so much in this book that I had no complaints. That always say you don't know what you have until it's gone and that proved to be true. I'm glad that Keller and Tigga got there mess together cause they are good together, and babeeeee they gone have a football team in a minute. Love how Mo did whatever for her girls cause that's how it suppose to be. Happy Tessa found happiness and got Ryan family in check cause they were just miserable if you asked me. Last but not least I loved me some Co Co he had me laughing through the whole book. Overall great read.....

This was a really good story but there were so many characters I got a little confused. This book was longer than it needed to be, but my girl can do no wrong 🫶🏽

Love and Laughter...
The reason I drop everything and read a Chenell Parker book is because she never disappoints. Jaden , I liked him from the other books he's been in, however I loved him in this final installment. His character grew tremendously , which mean the author has grown also. I see it in each book I read. I loved the development of the story line . It was not rushed nor dragged. It kept me invested in the outcome. Yes this was aided by the infamous CoCo... that boy can give a sad soul back it's joy, a dark cloud a silver lining and infect a monastery with laughter. The drama was just enough and the other characters played their parts well. I feel book 3 was the best one yet. Great job as usual...

Another Great book by Chenell
The story continues with Jayden being shot in front of his daughter Jaylynn, Kia has had enough of Jayden's cheating ways. Keller and Tigga are having trust issue. Rich and Tori are the new Bonnie & Clyde. I can't forget about my favorite Character CoCo!!!
The finale showed that the characters had matured especially Jaden and Anaya, loved the way the author did their transition. Sometimes you have to fall to the bottom and climb back to the top.
You Never Know What You Have Until It's Gone!!!
I liked the way the author dealt with real life issues like drug addiction and what you'll do to maintain that addiction.
I love Chenell writing style, I gave the author 4 Stars because of grammatical errors, but the story was excellent.

I was in a funk; looking for something good to read, but this book gave me life! Co-Co kept my side hurting! There was so much humor all through this book. I hadn't review a book in a while, I normally just rate them and move on to the next, but I had to stop and give props to the writer. I can't wait for another read by Chenell Parker. Good job!

Good read.
Glad it ended the way it did. Even though majority of the characters got on my nerves the whole series was good. I'm glad things turned out the way it did.

Relationship and Perspective
Reading Cheating the Past for the Future 3 by Chenelle Parker makes me wonder—does everyone in New Orleans know each other or share some connection? The conclusion not only ties everything together but also puts all the relationships into perspective, ensuring that no one is left cheating their past for their future.
In Book 2, Jaylynn witnessed Tori and Rich shoot Jaden and leave him for dead. Though Jaden survives the attack, Jaylynn is now afraid to leave his side. Meanwhile, Kia has started a new relationship with Darius, but she’s still in love with Jaden and hesitant to be near him. With Jaylynn refusing to leave Jaden alone, could this be what brings him and Kia back together?
With the help of Mo, Keller and Tigga work through their issues and reconcile for the sake of their family. Meanwhile, Anaya not only learns to accept Keller and Tigga’s relationship, but she also starts a new romance with Alex. Her growth is undeniable, and everyone notices how much happier she is.
Leo may have done time for violating probation and abusing his sister and the mother of his child, but prison hasn’t changed him. Now, he’s abusing a new woman and still holds a grudge against Keller.
Tessa and Ryan struggle to keep their relationship intact despite an overbearing family, while Terrell continues chasing that first high, leaving even his mother unwilling to deal with him.
And, as always, we get to catch up with some of our favorite characters: David, Bryce, Dominic, Brooklyn, Co-Co, Bryce Sr., Ms. Pam, Lisa, Brian, Caleb, and Sweets.
This book does a great job of closing out the series, offering closure for each character and their journey.

Another Great Series
I read three books in a little over three days and I'm exhausted! I love Chenell's ratchet fiction. If course, cousin CoCo is my favorite character off all times. He brings the comic relief needed to offset the serious issues at the forefront of each story. I'm seriously addicted here. I loved how she weaved lives together. She covered the lives of two sisters in three books. I was glad the series was finished when I started because the cliff hangers would have killed me. It was good to catch glimpses of characters from other books as well.
I loved Kia and Keller's mother Mo. I would love to read more about her. She was a strong presence and a force to be reckoned with. She comes in next to CoCo as my favorite book characters by Chenell.
Her books read like movies. The characters are interesting and tell a story without too much preaching. She could be talking about my crazy family. The characters are just that relatable.
I've been reading Chenell Parker's books for three weeks straight, and I'm not tired, yet. That says a lot about her as a writer. I found more grammatical errors in this book. It didn't change the story, however, I expected less errors at this point in her writing. I deducted a star for this. I also had issues with the character of "Leo". I didn't care for a woman as bright and talented as Keller to spend years with a man like that, especially with a mother like Mo. I struggled with this and wanted more so I could relate. There was a missed opportunity in the development of this character. Nevertheless, I'm still a fan.

February 20, 2020I'm glad Anaya began to act right and let go of her bitter ways. Alex definitely played a part in her growing up and it was refreshing. Leo, Tori, Terrell, and Rich all should've known karma would come back around eventually. They underestimated how far a family was willing to go when they put their loved ones in danger. Co-Co was still crazy as ever and him and Jaden were too funny. Keller and Kia both deserved the happiness they found in Tigga and Jaden. Their relationships had their ups and downs because of their past but they definitely got things on the right track. Mo was nothing to play with and I loved when she had to show anyone the consequence of messing with her daughters. Cheating the future for the past is never a good thing and I'm glad everyone was able to make it to see what their future held for them.

Good
This series was a good read. It got boring at times so I did a lot of skipping pages, but overall pretty good. For the last installment i really hated how the author did Rich. He wasn't a bad person at all, he just got caught up trying to please Anaya and he made a dumb decision. Hell jaden was worse than he was going around beating up people because he didn't want to see kia move on. Rich was actually a good person and wanted to do good by his little family. I feel like Anaya shouldn't have gotten a happy ending if he didn't.

Happy ending
This finale covered so many elements and a lot of issues were resolved. Some in a peaceful way while others were settled in a gruesome way. After things were Ricky for so long for the sisters, Keller and Kia finally found the happiness that they wanted and needed. They went through fire, even got a little scathed, but they made out of it for the better. Like in the rest of the books, Co Co showed his end and had me laughing nonstop. You could never prepare for what came out of his mouth. I'm glad that Tessa got her a happy ending as well.

True definition of a rider
What can I say....the ending had me shooked! No is a beast when it comes to Keller and Kia. Jaden had hard lessons to learn. Keller need birth control lol. Coco is hilarious as always. Tessa found and ended love then found love again. She had to help guide some people to knowing their place but that's the way the cookie crumble. Terell received his karma. Pluck and Quell...true definition of a rider. I need their book! This ending was truly a testimony to definition of a rider

The funniest part was when her sister stayed the night over there but he was mad at his girlfriend so he locked the whole house down 🤣🤣🤣. Had the baby in on it too!!! Co Co needs his own book I swear 😂🤣😂

Say It Ain't Over!!!
Wow, it's really the end! "Cheating The Future For The Past 3" wrapped up everything neatly in a nice big bow! Co-Co had tears streaming down my face as I laughed! He needs his own novella! Every bad person got exactly what they deserved, Anaya got redemption and a second chance at real love! Tigga and Keller, Jaden and Kia got their HEA and a basketball team! Love your stories, Chenell Parker!

The end of the road!!!!!
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars because it was d#@m good! I enjoyed reading this series.
Mo didn't play when it came to her daughters and neither did the men in their lives. The bad seeds that caused them trouble met their maker with painful deaths. Glad to see all had a happy ending. Highly recommend this series of books!

These books had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed got mad and laughed some more. I never realized how funny Co-Co was. I need a spin-off with Co-Co. Jaden and Co-Co will make you laugh so much in part 3. Hated to see it come to an end but I loved the characters and the storyline.

I know I'm late to the party, but this was a great series! Chenell is one of those authors who drops a book I automatically read without reading the synopsis. Well done Chenell!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series! It was the perfect blend of everything and I’m glad everybody that got involved with Leo was able to get out alive. So happy the sisters stayed with their men.
