If Loving Him is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right

Rate this book
SHANTE'S sweet, loving heart is her worst enemy as she gives her love to AMIRI, a man who doesn't deserve, respect or appreciate her. But what will it take for her to learn that love shouldn't hurt? Amiri is a heartless man, a user and an abuser who's only concern is himself and the street life that has him enraptured with its insidious glory. But street riches and fame come at a very costly price. One wrong move causes all of Amiri's demons to come knocking at Shante's front door, threatening to turn her fragile world inside out. Being the narcissistic man that he is, Amiri couldn't care less what happens to Shante and their newborn son, as long as Amiri continues to shine in the streets. In the meantime, Shante's heart is crumbling and every day seems darker than the day before. Just when all hope seems lost, along comes Amiri's brother KAMILI. A gentleman with women but a savage in the streets, Kamili just wants to protect Shante. Soon, a forbidden love blossoms, but Amiri vows to go all out to keep his babymama out of his brother's arms. Will Shante fall victim to Amiri's threats and games? Or will she choose the forbidden? Hold your breath as this powerful urban drama takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Wow

I decide to take my time to reading this book. It was difficult for me to reading this book but I want to know what’s going on this story.

If Loving Him is wrong, I don’t want to be right by Jelissa Edwards is a phenomenal read. This is my first time reading from this author. She did a phenomenal job. It’s well written and it’s a phenomenal turner.

My heart goes to Shantel because she’s been going through. Shantel is a strong woman but I hope she’ll walking away from drama. Amiri is a something else . I don’t have anything to say about Prada. Kamili is a good man. He’s my favorite character of this book.

I can’t wait to part 2 of this book. I’ll definitely continue to support Mrs.Edwards.

Good read:

Wow great read. Everyone should read

This is a excellent book. I couldn't put it down from beginning to end. Amari is a horrible man who can't keep his dick in his pants no matter what and I felt so bad for Shante. The stuff he did to Shante was horrible. I wish she would of had the strength to leave his ass right away. She went through so much abuse and her poor son. I'm glad it ended the way it did for Shante but wish it would of happened sooner. Kamili is such a great man and sat there and put up with Prada's bullshit for way to long. Prada and Amari are one of a kind and belong together. This author did a great job with this book and has me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for part 2. Wish I could give more then 5 stars because I would. Definitely recommend this book to everyone

Loved it

Domestic violence is something that sometimes is over looked. Sometimes there be signs but we overlook it just so we not in other people's business. This story had Shante needing help but not asking for it. Its bad when a person breaks someone down so bad they wanna take their life giving up on everything. Children sometimes can be the strength a person needs to keep going. This story was good but im ready for part 2. Wanna see how things will play out & if they will finally be happy. This is a must read cause there could be a person who dealing with or going through the same things & may need help. Good book & I recommend it to others.

Satisfied Reader

This book was well written with a steady flow. I couldn't stand Amiri with his abusive, controlling self. I wish Shante had the balls to treat him like he treated her. I know she and Kamili are taking a huge risk but he's what she needs. Love and peace for her and her child. Prada is just a sad case. Never trust a pretty face and thick waist. I can't wait to see who comes out on top with all the madness that's about to surface

Looking forward to Part ll

This book as a great read. I don't want to spoil anything , but I kind of figured out Amiri's issue before the scene was revealed. I can't wait to see where the road leads Shante and Kimili....but I have a feeling that both Prada and B.....gone try to cook block!
I also want to see what happens with Amiri as I think he is about to be way in over his head!
Loved the flow and the characters and can't wait for part two!

Excellent read that had me in my feelings a couple of times. Amari was a asshole from beginning to end and Prada I wanted to whoop her myself. Loved Shante but she needed to learn how to fight back cause there is no way in hell I could have took what she took. Kamili is a good guy and I hope things work out for him and Shante but I know his stupid brother and bitter Prada is going to cause problems. Can't wait to see what happens in part 2. Excellent read Melissa.

Exceptionally good

I hated Amiri to his core. I loved Kamili. How could two brothers be so different. I guess because of what they experienced when they were younger. Amiri was abused that's why he treated Shante like that because she represented how his mother was too weak to protect him and maybe Kamili was too young to remember anything but the good side of things. I loved it. Moving too part 2

That’s How you tell a Story!!!

Shante’s upbringing caused to accept so much from everyone that she lost herself. Amiri was out of control...but no sympathy given. I don’t what the Hell Prada was thinking 🤣🤣.Shante and Kamili deserve to together!! Bet Quote- Don’t Judge My Life, By The Chapter You Walked In On 😉😉😉

Great read!!

This is the second series I've read by this author and once again I am not disappointed. These characters are just doing too much. Amiri is such a bully he needs to be with Prada she's a snake and so is he. I'm glad Kamili finally had the guts to try Shante she needs a real man. I can hardly wait for part 2.

U go girl

U wrote the hell out of this part and I can't wait to read the nxt part. I was so glad that Amiri told Kamili about Leads trifling behind and he finally admitted his true feelings to Shante. I already know part 2 is gonna be filled with drama, jealousy and revenge bc neither one is gonna let them enjoy the happiness they deserve

Shante deserves a man to love her

Usually I hate cheating but in this case, its justified. Ladies, always have a back up plan because if some men take care if you they feel they can treat you any way.

I felt the author did a good job in describing Shante & her situation. Also as Amiri & Kamili grew up in the same household, they were totally opposite in their treatment of women. I thought Amiri & Prada were better for each other. I'm hoping Shante continues to get mentally stronger. Good storyline & content

Hated everything about Shante. Glad Kamili finally said something. Amiri is just trifling and he treated Shante the way he did because she allowed it . Prada was nasty
