Talk about coming out swinging with a sequel!!! Yassssssssss!!!! Trayon is still struggling with Tray vs Prince as he continues to pursue Asayi and rectify situations he’s got in play. Book 2 did not disappoint in the continuing of plot twists, omg moments and a cast of characters that make their individual impressions. Loved that Trayon came to a place where he was willing to take a hard look and self-reflect deeper to find the man he could be instead of who he was told to be. Kudos to Asayi because sis tackled and tamed a beast, she came out war weary but she fought for what she believed in and potential. She saw the man beneath the beast. Great job ma’am bringing and keeping these characters true to the storyline and telling their stories

Such a good series!!

Man this was a wild ride!!! I have to start off by saying that damn Sadi was rotten to the core!! I've never had a most hated character list, as of today I do and Sadi is number one!!! Asayi was getting on my nerves as well. I was so intrigued with Stacy and Tuch!! I loved them and was so upset that Stacy messed it all up! Loved seeing everyone grown grown and having families now... I also have to mention I didn't like Stacy mom too much cause if your son is constantly telling you he doesn't want this girl around, why are you so hung up on keeping her around? Do you want your son with a childish, disloyal, selfish, rotten wench??? Can't get enough of Natavias catalog!!

MS. NATAVIA STEWART STRIKES AGAIN!



Natavia has rang the bell of excellence once again and the gong is resoundingly ringing the bell of excellence over and over again! The loud ringing of the bells are proclaiming once again the creativity and overwhelming genius of this very original storyteller. There is nothing ordinary regarding the author abilities of Natavia. With this, her latest offering, she has once again proven why she is and will remain amongst the best, if not the best, in this genre which I have labeled hood books. Though Ms. Natavia writes about the hood, she adds a level of superior intelligence in her characters. She creates an authentic environment for, not only her lead characters, but also for her subordinate characters. The environment she astutely creates showcases both the street and boardroom type of prose. Her fictional, and at times realistic, characters possess both of these qualities in abundance.

Natavia keeps her reader's on their toes by the numerous and diverse situations she creates for them to thrive in. The drama initiated by her golden pen gives us numerous hours of reading pleasure. Though I should not be amazed at her ability to keep your level of interest at it's highest peak, she has time and time again made me re-evaluate the intensity and dedication she injects into any project she undertakes. Her books are automatically categorized as pioneering in any genre she chooses to let our reader's minds escape; and what escapes she provides. Her approach is refreshing to this reader's mind. Natavia allows us the ability to leave our sometimes mundane lives and retreat into the very walls of her artistic mind. I say artistic because she paints a revealing canvas for our diverse reading types.

Ms. Natavia Stewart has put her superior stamp on all of he unique stories. Without reading her name on a project, her style of writing shines though as uniquely belonging to her. She keeps the street lingo on point and the advancement she allows her characters to grow into is phenomenal. I applaud this shining star and predict she will be producing reader gems for a very long time. I am very proud to be able to witness her soar.

The unusual love story between Asayi and Trayon was beautiful to watch unfold. I, as a reader, could literally tap into the emotional pieces of the younger Trayon. The way Natavia presented us with the tunnels of adverse and horrific situations he had to traverse to get to a place in time whereby he was taught by Asayi to just let go and allow love to replace that horror was astounding. The way she surrounded them with the outside drama filled situations which were responsible for their growing up together in this love, was projected so realistically, that, at times, had me forgetting this was a fictional read.

This is the genius of Natavia Stewart. I love the way she chose to let us view the endgame of Asayi and Trayon's love affair via the introduction of their 3 children. I definitely love the way she ended "The End, For Now". That lets me know we have another great love story waiting to be borne. This reader is rooting for Stacy and Tuchie! Sadi's story, for this reader, is done. She used up her last redemption card for me. Her story has been told and ended perfectly. Karma is a bad "B" and not to be f%*#d with! She received her just deserts!

Congrats to you Natavia. Take a bow to your standing ovation. Drop the mic and exit stage left! The fat lady has sung and you have given us another banger! Excitedly looking forward to your next adventure!

Natavia did it again. Damages and Damages 2 is hands down one of the most captivating stories . From the very beginning, it pulls you in and does not let go. The flow of the story is immaculate—everything moves with purpose, and nothing feels wasted.

The plot twists? Superb. Completely unexpected. I pride myself on catching things early, but this one caught me all the way off guard. Even knowing this is one of Ms. Stewart’s earlier works, it still hits just as hard as anything else she’s written. That says a lot about her consistency as a writer.

I’m trying not to go too deep into the characters because I refuse to spoil this for anyone, but that confrontation—when Prince finally captures Ralph, a.k.a. King, and everything comes spilling out—yeah… that moment right there seals it. The layers, the tension, the revelations—it all lands.

At its core, this story really drives home a truth: damaged people will damage others. It doesn’t matter who’s involved or who gets caught in the crossfire—hurt, bitterness, and unresolved trauma have a way of reaching everybody.

I can’t praise this book enough. Truly. I didn’t see those twists coming, and that made the experience even better. This was an excellent read from start to finish. I definitely recommend picking it up and forming your own opinion—but for me, this is top-tier writing.

hummm…. Perfect, just Perfect!!!

This was pretty much perfect except for how long it took Trsy and Asayi to come back to each other as well as Tuchie and Stacy. But it was so perfect overall.
Trayon stayed bae with a deranged and twisted mind that had us push through and pray he came back. Meanwhile Asayi was too annoying, childish, vindictive and either too hot or to cold.
Now to me Stacy was wrong to not fight for Tuchie with the same goes to Tuchie where if she had just trusted him enough, she would have been fine with him. Glad that Sadi stayed away…
Am so happy the Ralph got exactly what he deserved, but I thought that Elisa got off too easy as well as Deborah and Avon because they were just selfish and users. Everyone got all they deserved, and Liam and Chika finally got something right…
This crew was awsome and so perfect and I truly wished that them the best…. You go MS Stewart!!!

Listen, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I really felt for Aysai because when you love hard, you want to crawl into that person’s skin and stay there. Trayon fell hard too, and all he could see was her. Their connection was magnetic, the kind of pull you can’t fight even when you probably should.

Ralph was the ultimate puppeteer. The jealousy he had toward Trayon was wild and unsettling. Stacey fumbling Tuchie had my heart hurting, but I can’t lie, Tuchie stood firmly in her business. I was cheering because that’s exactly what knowing your worth looks like.

I won’t give too much away, but this read was top tier. It delivered unexpected twists, just enough predictability to keep you guessing, and enough challenge to keep the pages turning. I loved every bit of it and I’m hoping for a spinoff because this story was everything. Natavia, I’m a fan for real. Keep being a beast with that pen.

Great Read

I loved this series. It's been a long time since I read anything where I was so vested in the characters that I didn't want it to end. I put this book down a few time to prolong the ending. It gave me everything as there was so much going on. Trayon really surprised me so did his back ground. I was happy with the way and Asayi and his story ended. Ralph was something else. His fate was long awaited. Tunchie didn't have the ending I hoped and neither did Stacy. Part of me felt bad for how things ended for Sadi but there were consequences for her actions, she did turn her life around and I was happy about that. There is so much more I could talk about but I don't want to give anything away. If you want to know, read the books. I would highly recommend reading part 1 first.

Great Read

The drama in this book had me laughing so much. Tray is crazy as ever. The relationship he and Asayi have was so dysfunctional, but definitely worked for them. They most definitely loved each other. Tray found out so many things in this book. I was shocked by plenty that was revealed. Chika and Lim were something else. They both had to hurt before realizing how much they truly loved each other. Tuchie and Stacey need to get there act together because they both love each other, but both of them have too much pride. Stacey should have known Sadi was up to something. She had done so much foul stuff. I hope there will be a spinoff with one of the couples. I would love to read more on them.

Nothing short of amazing

Omg I instantly fell in love. I can’t wait for the next one. First and foremost I love how the ending was skipped a few years ahead. I love Trayon idc he does no wrong in my eyes with his crazy ass lol. Ralph got what was deserving of him. I enjoyed how this story played out it was so many plot twists. Kept me on my toes. Now I know Sadi has her ways and yes she did some fucked up ish but deep down I wished she would’ve found her happy ending. I liked the fact that she realized her faults and she realized that she had to grow up. Plain and simple. I almost had a heart attack when I though Tuchie was gone. But ol girl a straight up soldier. I wish her and Stacy can truly figure it out. I was rooting for those two.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

So happy for Asyai and Trayon! He grew on me and grew so much. At first, I was like, girl, run! But then we found out what was really tea, and honestly, who wouldn’t have a few screws loose? My girl was naturally herself, and those hating heffas couldn’t stand it.

The Stacys—I was rooting for y’all! Male Stacy, you really let that dopehead play games with you, and now you lost out on a good one. Hopefully, in the spin-off, you can get your girl back. Tuchie, you a real one, and I’m glad you stood ten toes down. Sadi really thought she was about to get some get-back.

And it’s still Sadia deserves nothing good. I’m not moved by anything she’s attempted to do. Any heffa who keeps sniffing drugs while pregnant is scum. She will never change because she’s too used to everyone bending to her. I just know in the spin-off, she’s gonna cause some drama—I pray Tuchie touches her. 😏

I’ll miss these crazies!

The bomb Series.. 5 stars

This series was everything. I loved Trayon and Asayi. I loved how he was able to open up and show his love for her in this book. I'm glad that Lim and Chika was able to work out their differences and be together. Stacey should have just been honest with Tuchie and let her know he wanted to be in a relationship. I guess he thought they was going to just wait for each other. Finding out she has been dating someone for a year tore him apart. Hopefully there will be a spin off. These series was so good!!

4 stars off the strength of Sadi getting it together. Still a trash ssa friend but still happy she got it together. She had no real reason to hate Asayi. That never made sense to me.

I love how Tuchie stood on business with Stacy. Even though I wish they was end game.

I was tuned in from start to finish.

When Trayon called Asayi a hoodrat I was sat! Cause that’s exactly what she acted like.

Just when I thought Chika was different she did some dumb ish that reminded me she was just like the other female characters.

Had to see it through. Definitely was a young character book. I felt like none of the characters really grew up; no chat development. Everyone relationship was a constantly toxic/struggle love. All the characters were annoying and i kept having to remind myself of their age. A lot was going on and nothing at all at the same time lol. Sadi should have been took off the map. All the females were just as whiny with no logically sense. The only i could stand was Stacey, the gurl and I guess Tray too.

That crazy Trayon

All of those crazy revelations had my head gone for a minute. That family is the definition of dysfunctional. I laughed so hard at Trayon and his crazy antics. It takes a special person to deal with his level of crazy and Asayi was the perfect person. I don't know how I feel about Sadi, she kept up so much carp, her and shady Keondra. I can't wait to see what happens next

Where to start

Natavia has done it again another hit! Once I started I couldn't put it down seriously I loved how asayi loved Trayvon regardless of his issues. What happened to Trayvon happens more than we care to admit generational curses are real I'm just happy with how things turned out for them they both deserved each other if you don't read this book you're definitely missed out

Another Banger

Wow that ending was something else sadi and Jay has a spin off and I guess tuchie and Stacy also. I don't think sadi deserve a happy ending lol but I guess everyone deserve a second one chance. This book was so good my emotions were all over the place. Trayon was so damaged and I'm happy asayi decided to stick with him. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and can't wait to read the spin off. Good job as always Ms.Natavia you never disappoint.

Tayon was surely damaged!!!

All this time Ralph was his brother, he really tortured prince like that because of his father. I'm happy that Asayi loved Prince enough to learn about his illness. I was rooting for Stacy and Tuchie but hopefully they can get it together. Sadi finally grew up I'm surprised that after all the sneaky underhanded mess she did no one killed her although they came close....

Soo good

This book was fire! You are truly gifted with the pen. I can't wait til your next book drops. You are definitely in my rotation of authors for good. This book was everything and I'm so glad that Trayon and Asayi had a happy ending they both deserve it. Now that Sadi has matured and saved herself I hope she finds love and gets to experience happiness. I wouldn't mind a spin-off with the crew. Great job once again!

Secondly, Trayon is bae! His entire character gives me life!
I really hope Tuchie and Stacy work out and I'm happy everyone is getting their happy ending. As far as Sadi-no comment. Lol

I hope Stacy and Tuchie get it together if the author does a spinoff. Also I hope Staci gets a happy ending, after everything she went through it was nice seeing her with her life together. I really hope Natavia comes out with a part 3 or spinoff!

This book was so good I don't think my review will do it justice. Trayon and Asayi are the perfect example of the saying everyone has that perfect someone made just for them. No one may understand their bond or the way they love each other but they understand it perfectly. Sadi really disappointed me with the way she spiraled out of control but I'm glad she eventually got it together. I would love to see how things turn out w/ her as well as Staci.

Love Finally

This series was soooo damn good. I’m glad Tray found someone to show him what real love was. Asayi loved her man and her friends who didn’t deserve it until they showed their true colors. I loved the bond she had with her sister and cousin. I was wishing Stacy got his HEA and was kinda wishing it for Sadi with all the dirt she did. This was a great series and I enjoyed both books!!

This was one of the best series's that I have read! I can't wait to see what follows this. You never let the readers down.

Omg, awesome!

Trayon and Asayi finally got their happy ending. Whew, but it was one helluva ride! Loved how you were able to see the growth in Trayon, emotionally. He finally learned the true meaning of being in love. Asayi grew up as well! Great book, Natavia!! Once again, you did not disappoint. Can't wait for Stacy and Tuchie!

Yesss

The wait was well worth it. Trayon is and has been Bae from book one but he really displayed how much he loved Asayi. They balance each other out. I'm glad they got their happy ending. It was great reading about the other couples too and yes I can't wait to find out how they end up. Ms. Stewart always write that fiyah.
