What’s worst, an enemy or friend that despises you?

Tiara, Porsha, and Renae are best friends that connected in high school. Back in the day they were as thick as thieves going to school, partying, and fighting whoever got in their way. Now that they are older and more mature they are living their lives in different ways while still holding onto their friendship and going through their own trials with love.

Tiara been rocking with her husband Antonio since they both had nothing. She played the background while she helped build him into the man that he is now. They had their issues before and he promised to change once they got married, but Antonio is falling back into his old habits and she’s slowly forced to face to truth that her happy home isn’t so happy.

Porsha always believed that no man was off limits. Love was a thing she didn’t indulge im until she put too much time and attention into the wrong man and she’s fallen for this guy. She’s tired of getting put on the back burner and is willing to do anything to make him hers even if she have to break up a happy home.

Renae got slapped with reality learning that a man gonna be a man regardless of the situation. She’s been riding with Charles for years and went even more hard once he got locked up and helped take care of the kids he had on her with another woman. Finding out he was still cheating she wiped her hands clean of the situation and decided to put herself first.

Although heartbroken Jamar and Jason steps into the women's lives and try to show them that there is still good men. Playing the rebound can be a dangerous game but it’s a risk they are willing to take.

Jamar been gone for a while and let the love of his life slip through his hands doing his time upstate. The bad part about it is the girl he love is with the man he use to call a friend.

Jason have baby mama drama to the max and is trying everything to separate himself from Andrea. He’s broken hearts, and been hurt before but he’s determined not to hold himself back from finding the right one.

Love shouldn’t be so hard but it’s became a task that unravel secret, lies and disloyalty and have them all questioning who’s a real friend?

So much drama

There is so much drama in this read, that I don't know where to begin. There was numerous moments through out when I wanted to reach into my kindle and punch them in the throat for being so stupid. Porsha and Antonio are at the top of the list. Karma needs to pay them a visit asap. Ratchetness at it's best. A very enjoyable read. My only issue is the editing. Hopefully it will be better in part 2. We shall see.

Great read

Can't wait for part 2! It seems that drama really started when the book was coming to an end! With that being said, it did keep my attention throughout and I can't wait to see what happens. There were some editing issues.

So many questions!

Patiently waiting for part 2! Enjoyed the story and hope all the snakes get what's coming to them. But most importantly I need to see Renae and Tiara get their happy ending.

A great read that has a steady flow. Drama filled, well written with likable characters. Deceit, jealousy, envy and betrayal. The author has done a great job bringing together all of this and more. Definitely recommending this book and can't wait for part 2.

Waiting for part 2

I'm I the only one who wanted to beat Tiara? From the time he asked me if the baby was his and suggested I get an abortion, it would have been over. I'm ready to see what happens when she finds out about Porsche. I love Jay and Renae. I hope Jamar can work out his issues with Nicole and this baby so that he can move on...preferably with Tiara

So much drama!

Everyone in this book has issues. I was a little confused with all the different characters at first but they are all connected in some way. I truly hope Andrea, Porsha, and Antonio get what's coming to them

Anxious for part 2

I hope these women get the men they deserve. I'm so proud of Tiara for finally walking away from Antonio dog ass. I hope she beat the brakes off Porscha when she finds out. I want her and Jamar to get together. I also want Renae to beat the crap out of Andrea, but will she stay with Jason?

Catchy

Ok so I did get into the story. But the one thing that keeps irking me throughout is that there are missing words, then extra words in sentences. A good edit is needed.
