I Want You To Love Me

Rate this book
Love is like a drug. The simple thought of it alone makes you want it, but to actually feel it rushing through your veins and delivering the giddy haze in your mind, you crave it. At that point it’s like forget the side effects, you’re more so worried about how high you can get. It becomes your only desire.

The day Desiree watched her father walk out of her life it seemed as if troubles popped up everywhere she turned. At the age of 21 she had the weight of the world on her shoulders caring for her sick mother and trying to push through her hardships.

Marcus was her knight in shining armor. His dominating demeanor captivated her which caused her to slowly open up to him. Little did she know she allowed herself up to get tangled in his web of deceit, and she’s realizing everything that glitters isn’t gold.

Even with a heart made of stone, Marcus fell for Desiree. Her selfless ways drew him to her like a moth to a flame. She was everything he wanted, and he was everything she needed, but to a man like Marcus nothing will ever be enough. After being let down from his family, and witnessing struggle Marcus was always determined to get what he wanted by any means necessary. He wanted Desiree even though he already held another woman’s heart.

Desiree would’ve never guessed in a millions years that falling for Marcus would land her in a crazy love triangle that only adds onto the problems in her life. Is love really enough to mend a broken heart?

Good read

The storyline was great a little slow but Marcus craziness always pick up the book. I don't like devon he seem sneaky I believe he stealing the money.
Sam I believe it is more to him than he letting on maybe a secret.
Marcus hatred in women is because of his mother . I love Desiree she very innocent and caring I hope she don't go through the with abortion.
Marcus will lose his last bit of humanity if she get rid of his baby. Even if they not together. Kalvin is a little weak he is more Desiree speed but until he ma up can't see it Vanessa I like her she just need a rel man to tame her.can't wait for part 2 t see how belleza put it together

Great Start!!!

This is a great start to another wonderful series. Marcus is batsh.. crazy. I love Desiree. Even though she is in love she still thinks for herself. Her best friend Vanessa is a true best friend. Sam is a cool dude but I want to see his buttons get really pushed. Devon is too sneaky he needs to be watched. Sherrie is a danger to herself and society over her love. Lia and Loretta need some muzzles. I'm ready for part 2.

Great book!!!!

That damn Marcus is bar shit crazy, he walks around like his actions don't have consequences of something. I swear he made my ass itch throughout this entire book.....Dez should leave his dirty ass with Sherrie and Kalvin needs to leave his also because that's who Dez should be with. Outstanding job as always Belleza!

Loved it

Another great read from belleza. I don't like Marcus and can't wait until desiree stop messing with him because she deserves way better. Hopefully Vanessa will settle down with austin. Sherrie is just dumb and need to move on with her life. Can't wait for part two to come out

Hot damn here we go !!!!!!!

I can’t believe he’s really about to do that to her, but I wonder if it’s Sherrie or Tasha, and isn’t he being hypocritical. I just hope Rae Rae makes the right decision....

A great read that is well written with a steady flow. Characters are likeable, and well developed. Marcus is cold hearted, mean, and crazy. Poor Desiree is young naive and dealing with too much. Can't wait for part two.

Consequences

Having a baby is never the answer to try to fix a relationship. A man will treat you any way if you allow him to. If you stay with a man for years after he dogs you over and over again. He will continue to dog you and not respect you.

Good read

I liked this book. Marcus was such a man whore. He loved Deziree but didnt know how to love properly. Im so sick of these girls having unprotected sex getting pregnant and then talking about it aint the right time for a baby. Otherwise really good read.

This is a really good book. I don’t know who got on my nerves the worse Sherrie or Desiree. Marcus is a womanizer but I think his love is real. I literally read this in no time. I’m going straight into part 2.

🗣 I HATE MARCUSSSSS❗️ There’s is no way around that! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Desiree... Poor baby just going through it. I wish I could hug her. I’m amazed at the storyline, and love it! Disappointed in the many typos, but it didn’t take away from how good the book was!

Marcus was too foul, Desiree was so naive and Sherrie was just plain desperate to put up with all of the disrespect. Well written good job Belleza.
