Complicated

Complicated #1

by Chenell Parker

Although she lost her entire immediate family over a period of time, Rylee pulled her strength and support from her extended family, her best friend Zyra and the love of her life, her husband Mekhi. Mekhi knew from the first moment he saw Rylee that she would be his wife. He doted on her and placed her on the pedestal that she deserved to be on. He cherished her. Or so Rylee thought. Rylee’s picture perfect life became a cracked glass frame when Mekhi’s true intentions were revealed. As fate would have it, Zyra’s brother Zyrian is standing in the wings preparing to put the glass pieces back together again. Will Rylee be willing to walk away from all that she has ever known with her husband Mekhi? Will she be willing to swim in new uncharted waters with Zyrian? Will Mekhi fight for who he believes rightfully belongs to him and only him? Will Zyrian’s persistent interests complicate Rylee’s thoughts? With a host of supporting characters and Mekhi’s extreme disdain for Zyrian, the situation gets more complicated at every turn. Will Mekhi be able to stop Rylee from committing what he considers the ultimate sin with Zyrian or will his secrets run her right into the arms of the man that he despises the most?

WTH??!! That ending was.... Come on!!! Man, I cannot wait for the next installment of this series. That damn Mekhi needs his a$$ whooped from one side of MJs to the other. Dude was out of control. Yeah, Rylee needs to hurry up and get tested. I'm feeling that something bad is about to go down with her and it's not going to be good. Rylee was way too good for that dude and I'm glad she finally found out what a dirty dog he really was as a husband. I have to admit that I was wrong about a lot of things that I thought would happen in this story. Kyrian was a good dude. I thought for sure that he would take advantage of the situation, but he proved me wrong. It's not often that I like Chenell's characters but I really like most of these characters. Besides Mekhi, Brandy and Mekhi's family, everybody else is cool. I'm anxious to find out who the mystery hooker who is sending the nude pictures will be. I have an idea who, but like most of the other times, I'm sure I'll be wrong. Actually, I have two possibilities. We'll see. Great Job Chenell!!!

OMG!!! really Chenell...did you have to end it like that??!??????... Man that damn Mekhi is really shady! he's practically scum and he do not deserve Rylee....I can't wait until part 2 because I need to know what happened...I have so many questions & this book have left me on edge.... on another note, I did like how Rylee's family had her back & I'm hoping in part 2 a love connection is ignited between Rylee & Zyrain... ..other than that.. this is a must read & I'm hoping the next installment is coming soon❤

Cliffhanger ending !!

This read was good but had some errors. What had me annoyed at times was waiting for mekhi to get caught . I just wanted Rylee to find out how dirty and trifling he was . I just loved how cocky zyrian is can't wait for him and rylee to get together. Can't wait for part 2

Wow

Chenell you have out done yourself again. I can't believe the way you ended the book,I need part 2 ASAP. I am glad that Rylee finally found out about that snake of a husband. I was on edge the entire time I was reading.

I can't wait for part 2.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was totally in awe of this book. I mean this was it, the characters were the types of people I really could kick it with. Mekhi's butt needs to get the business, he is really a snake and I hope he has some things coming to him in this story. Rylee is a good person and friend. She is the type that puts others before herself and you can see it in the story. Zyrian is BAE I hope they end of together he seems like a really good dude.

Complicated⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where do I start, this book was everything and then some. That damn Mekhi wasn't nothing but a DOG. He had women everywhere and why cheat just because you couldn't hang with your wife. Rylee was the perfect wife and I can't believe her and Zyrian didn't hook up. Kendrick hooked her up with the alarm code, that was a classic. I can't wait to find out who the mystery woman is that he sleeping with. Shay was just dumb as a box of rocks for letting him treat her baby like that. I loved loved loved his book and I need part 2 asap......

This was another exceptional read by Chenell Parker! Storyline flowed well with remarkable drama. Characters were believable and for the most part likable with the exception of Mekhi...I didn't think it was possible to dislike a character so much but Mekhi proved me wrong..Good title for I feel there's even more excitement to come. Highly recommended!

Love and war

This was an interesting read. Many women will be able to relate, and others can learn some lessons. Great character development and storyline. I would recommend to anyone who likes a good love story with twists and challenges. Looking forward to the next book.

This book keep me intrigued from the beginning to end...page-turner. Loved how the author develops a story and it's characters...love the strong female characters. Everything was in this book from drama, lies, jealousy, cheating, envy and the secrets were everywhere. So many skeletons in the closet, but they're slowly falling out and can't wait to see how it all unfolds, on to the next installment....Great job Chenell Parker.

Good and Interesting

I loved this story. It was intriguing, interesting and it didn't go off course making the story unbelievable. Rylee was such a sweet character and her husband was trash. Mekhi deserved everything he got. I am hoping that once Rylee get herself together that she and Zyrian get together. This was good story of relationships, love and betrayal. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good urban fiction tale. Ready to start on part 2.

Complicated

Listen ! Complicated is the PERFECT title because baby everybody in this book got some drama. I can't stand Mehkei but I love his name but he still trifling. Thank you Chenell Parker for another amazing read !

[Cassandra Jerido · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Good One!

Whew! Mekhi is something else. I was on pins and needles waiting on Rylee to find out the truth. Now that the sh*t has hit the fan, it should be on and popping in book 2. Can’t wait.

Complicated

I see NOLA has some real characters running a muck. Mehki, you're a typical dude who's not used to having nothing. I'm not about to write an essay. Just know this seems to be a messy good read thus far.

[Justin · Rating 5 out of 5]

love it

Wow, amazing story, love everything about it. I can’t wait to start on book 2 because I need to find out if my suspicion is right about the mystery woman with the tattoos Mekhla is having an affair. I got my hunch.

Woi tumeanza with some drama and im here for it. Chenell really did her big one. Mekhi is just a hoe tbh and his family is just useless esp his mom omfg🤦🏽‍♀️ like why?! Writing this after finishing the series i have to say i highly recommend 👏🏽 the levels of karma are out of this world 🤭

[Kina M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yessss

FINALLY A TRULY STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER...I believe that even if this was garbage just the fact that Ryle was not a weak woman made me sooooo happy. I love her...

Secrets came out

Mekhi is a low down dirty dog. Glad Rylee finally found out about him. Zrya is the truth sexually free. Can’t wait to see what Rylee & Zyrian build

[Beatrice · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the beginning there were so many people being introduced. I had to reread to keep track of who was who. It was smoother read half through the book. I'm ready for book 2
