Feeling distraught, Liz unleashed all the rage she felt for Cedric. They ended up in the one place they never had problems, the bedroom.
After their sexual rendezvous, Cedric noticed the fire and desire that Liz emitted; wondering what had gotten into the woman he used to know. This new side of her had him intrigued, entranced, and full of jealousy. Although married, Cedric couldn’t stay away from her, even though he tried. During their affair, Cedric realized that he had everything he wanted in Liz, but his cheating ways cost him the love of his life.

Will Felicia accept that Cedric wants to return to Liz, or will she fight for her young marriage?

When Liz realizes that she still has strong feelings for Cedric their situation turns into a case of emotional warfare. Liz thinks Cedric is the love of her life but is he? Can she fully trust Cedric after all the lies that he told her before, or is there someone lurking in the background that knows her true value? Liz is confident in her relationship with Cedric this time, but, is it forever the second time around?
Lies revealed. Secrets uncovered. Relationships tested. Will a happy ending be in sight for anyone? Or will the second time around be just as catastrophic as the first?

More Than Just His Mistress: An Urban Romance
Monica what can I say about this here story. I was almost siding with Cedric when try to win back Liz. Do to his ultimate betrayal and realizing what he had at home is all he needed. Liz play at all stop to show and hurt Cedric on how he will miss out and see what he left for the next women instead of talking. But was it all worth it and did she still love him once the clouded vision come to her surface. Brian was the men of her dream if she only knew the dark secret he held all these years. Ethan why Ethan ( Monica) had me hot u took him out. Now Liz has baby girl Alanah and she expected is wonderful along as she is with Brian now. So touching and a break through with family issues happy they made up before the unexpected happen to Ethan. Felicia at the end of the story is still bitter and crazy and how Cedric for once protected Liz from the crazy girl will it be apart 2. Outstanding Monica

True Love Always Wins
True love always wins in the end. It took Liz going through all kinds of heartache and pain to realize that true love was there all the time and that Cedric wasn't it. This storyline was full of twists and turns, lies and deceit. And the sex scenes were off the chain. They had me fanning myself because they were so hot. I kinda felt sorry for Cedric in the end. But that's what happens when karma pays you a visit. I did not expect things to turn out the way it did. I'm so happy for Liz and Brian.

I didn't want it to end
I loved this book. I was in shock after the first 5 minutes into reading all the way to the end. This story was told beautifully. I felt like I knew all the characters. The storyline was different but the topics were still the same. I'm glad this book is a standalone. I want to read it again just in case I missed something

This book felt like a standalone with so much detail and background given that adds to the drama. Speaking of drama, the twists and turns in the book were very delicious. Cedric just didn't want to have his cake and eat it; he wanted to have the whole convenient store with cake, cookies, chips, pickles, and everything else. Liz was vulnerable and hurt in the beginning, but then, she found her strength. She picked herself up, revitalized herself, and got herself together. She wanted revenge, but revenge had a wait of doing a sneak attack back on her. However, she finally woke up to the truth. Once it all was revealed, she found love that she recently discovered was always there. Liz learned that everything that her marriage to Cedric wasn't always what they appeared to be. I love the connection Liz had with her twin Ethan, and I hated the situation regarding their family and him. This book had me feeling like Vivian Green and put me on an emotional roller-coaster. The characters were great, the drama was perfect, and the plot was good. Everything was brought to full circle, so that I could get a complete picture. As I read this book, Silk's song "What Kind of Love Is This" played all through my mind. I would hate to be in Liz's position, going from main to the side then back to main. I just rather be main without anything extra. This was a good story, and I highly recommend to others.

Excellent Book About A Tangled Web
The author did an excellent job of portraying this story from both Liz and Cedric's perspectives all while adding in some twists and turns. Cedric was a very selfish person who wanted his cake and to eat it too. I couldn't stand him. But then for one moment i felt that maybe he did change. But I think that Liz made the right decision and Cedric got everything that he deserved. I loved Brian from the start and he and Liz will have an amazing life. I just hate that Ethan couldn't be there with his family. He was a great guy.

Interesting read
Found this to be an interesting read. Lots of secrets, lies along with twists and turns. A few surprises as well. I honestly believe that Cedric loved Liz, he was just too sneaky and a liar. I had a feeling that Brian was in love with her, and that's why he broke the friendship he had with Cedric. After all that she had been through, I'm happy that she found love in the end.

Wifey!!!
I love this book from beginning to end!!! Authoress Skye truly put her heart and soul into this one. It was as if she has gone through all the drama Liz has experienced and expresses it here. This book takes you through a range of emotions, from shocked to angry, to pissed off, and then sadness. It even drives you to tears. But in the end, it makes you happy and your heart feel good. Kudos to the author!!!

Wow!!! I absolutely loved this book. It was very entertaining and relatable to real life. The characters were so full of life and whew I just loved me some Brian. I also loved how Liz's brother, Ethan kept it real and solid with her. Loved their relationship. This was my first read by you, M. Skye, but best believe it won't be my last. Great read and I recommend it to all.

This was one of the best I've read. M. Skye you are a beast, each character was bought to life. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, each page had me hungry for more. Excellent

Wow!!!!
This was a really good read. Entertaining and engrossing from beginning to end. Parts of it felt a little rushed but will hopefully be explored further in the sequel. With an ending like that, there has to be a sequel!

Wow
This book was nowhere near what I expected; it was so much more. What an excellent spin on the side chick theme. It also told of a woman scorned. Great read.

Mesmerizing Plot
This was a great book. I laughed, cried, became angry, and felt Liz's wrath. Perfect story and a perfect ending.

Alright alright
This was an awesome read. When I saw Skye showed out in this read and the ending was a shocker OMG it was a shocker I didn't see that coming at all. I will definitely read this author again. The characters were fully developed and this story didn't lack anything at all.

Excellent!
I can't begin to describe how good this book was! So many twists and turns and I loves it. I think Cedric loved Liz in his own sick way but it just wasn't what Liz deserved. I need part 2 so Felicia and Alvin get another does of karma. They're sick and delusional! Great job as my emotions was everywhere reading this book!

I really liked this story! While I was never a fan of Cedric, I was hoping and wondering if he would or could change his ways. Brian was a gem. The cleverness of Liz made this story a sure winner. Storyline held me captive & ending has me wanting to read more about these characters.

Good read few errors and I love that Liz came out on top!!! I hope Cedric is dead!!! Good job

This was a really good read. Cedric was so wrong. He did Liz entirely too wrong and things definitely caught up to him. I loved Brian. He was always there for her. Felicia and Alvin got what they deserved right along with Cedric. I was happy with the ending.

Brian was Everything
This book has had me in my feelings! From all those damn sex scene's to the lies and deceit lord I had to take a break and get my self back together to finish reading this book! Even though this book kept surprising me with all the different turns of events I loved the way the book ended.
