Friends turn into enemies and enemies turn into lovers. Who will make it out on top?
Wow I love drake's character.. Handsome smart and loyal those are the things you look for the man he hasn't Delanoy unfortunately is more real is one sick twisted bastard I can't believe those damn twins actually lead her back to him like that what type of friends of that but that's what she could because she should've left well enough alone after all the abuse even outside kids he still treat her like crap she finally got the strength to move on she shouldn't let it all go now I don't know what's going to go on and part two but please complete the whole drink is still alive and the baby makes it out freaking standing I love the storyline
Wow that was pretty good. The physical and verbal abuse was pretty disturbing though. Reno is a horrible man. I know dude has issues but he is so violent and gives no f***s whatsoever. I already know Drake is going to be alright and he is coming for what is his. Oh lastly, what is up with the docs daughter? Is she supposed to help tame the beast or what!?! I feel like it is part of Reno's therapy, but I could be wrong. We shall see! Bring on part 2!
This was definitely a 5 star read. It held my attention from the first page to the last page. I couldn't put it down and was sad to get to the to be continued... I pray everything works out for Nina, I hope Drake is still around, and as for Reno something or someone has to stop him. Hurry with part 2!!
This story drew me in from the beginning and I didn't want it to end. Reno is certified crazy and Nina needs to open her eyes and stop being so naive. I hope everything works out for Drake, I need part asap. This book is a certified 5
I am in tears for two reasons one because I am Domestic violence survivor and I think that I would be die or in jail if the Lord had not got me out of that situation. Second why did she have to be so gullible so trusting And just plain old hard heard SMH
How could she be so damn dumb.Now she got her baby daddy killed to be back where she started.Blood is more than her so called friend ship with the twins.What ever she gets she deserves.
Nina is the dumbest woman I've ever read about out of all the books I've ever read and I've read alot. You're staying with a man cause he gave you a ride from a sidewalk in the middle of the night? And finding out he's bipolar too? And you have 2 degrees? Why would you even stay friends with his sisters knowing you're in hiding?? To be honest you don't deserve Drake. It should be a change twister where he end up with your bestfriend whilst you stay with Reno's bipolar behind all because he saved you by giving you a ride off the sidewalk. Lol
Overall it was a good read. Nina is one dumb chick. She stayed with Reno for years although he was cheating on her and beating the crap out of her. She starts a relationship with Drake but she's hard headed and still dumb. She leads Reno to her whereabouts and all hell breaks loose. I can't wait for part 2.
Wow is all I can say. This was a great book. Man I feel so sorry for Nina. She has been thtough so much in her life and it seems like she can't catch a break for nothing. I hate reno with a huge passion. He is definitely the devil in this story. Drake is crazy, but he knows what he wants and willing to go to war for it. I can't wait to read part 2 tonight.
This man is a crazy woman beater cheating jerk and she feels like she is trapped and has nowhere to go until she has had enough and finds happiness with his best friend, so they run away together but he finds them and kills him( maybe) and brings her back where he thinks she belongs, I have to read part 2
This was a really good book! I was really upset with Nina At first and i absolutely despise Reno! Im so mad at that ending i cant believe the twins did her like that!!-Readathon
Really awesome read I don't like Reno and I want to fight him. Drake is the man but boy oh boy I can't wait to read part 2 Nina is going to go crazy and the twins need to be beat up
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! It was well written, full of drama, and had my literally speaking out loud as the story unfolded. I'm definitely a new fan, and will just bought the sequel so I can see what happens next
Ok i couldnt finish... Why the book start out with him beating her then has a baby by her best friend then after u walk n on him getting head u go and cook dinner..... I couldnt take it any further pure mess😣
I just couldn't get into this book. I understood the premise of Nina being in a trapped position due to being ousted by her mother and raped by her stepfather from the beginning, but the entire roller coaster with Reno and Drake playing Captain-Save-A-Hoe was annoying
This book is good. I gave it 4 stars because Nina was getting on my last nerve being so stupid. I love Drake , but he should have been did something to save her. I don't think Reno should get a happily ever after
This book was everything from beginning to end drama action intense couples up and down suspense puzzle revelation revealed well written every page intense can't wait two
I really enjoyed this book. I really like Drake. I can't believe how it ended. Nina deserves to be happy, and I hope she gets that. This book was well written. I can't wait to read part 2!
Omg Reno is a F Boy, who did all of that for what? I was sooo upset with Nina like, girl don't you know your boyfriend family is loyal only to him...great read moving to part 2!
I loved this book... Reno was crazy and a man whore... Drake was a great guy for Nina. I don't think it's cool to date your man's girl at all... but Reno was the fool for allowing your man to rescue your woman anyhow. He is the same as all men dog out the best woman to ever grace your life and when she gets the courage to leave you realize you messed up...smh half of them don't deserve us
This book had me on pins and needles wanting Drake to get the girl and live happily everafter. I would definitely recommend this book to those that like a thrill and a lot of drama.
