Oh 💩
This book was good from beginning to end. Man oh man, that dang Benji was a hot mess. I’m glad that Tiphani wasn’t one of those dumb females that stayed with the boyfriend even though he cheated. Thank goodness she met Israel and his sister. Also I’m glad that Tiphani let go and forgave for dad and sister. It’s so much to say 🤦🏾♀️ but just read this book you definitely won’t regret it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good
Love is something that will hit u when u least expect it. Then you got to figure out if it's what you want or not. Tiphani been through a lot & meeting Israel was probably the best thing for her. He has loved her to realize what she was worth &/that she deserved better. They both decided to see how things could go. Now her sister has kids & fresh out of a relationship. Jabori wants her but she is so hurt that she feels she can't allow him to love her. How will all this play out & will everyone just go with the flow? On to part 2 to see what else happens.

OMG WOW
This book had me intrigued from the beginning to the end. I liked how Tiphani and Esha was still able to get along after finding out they were dealing with the same Fuck Boy Benji and ended up going to jail behind it. Tiphani had it ruff until see meet Esha big brother Israel who changes her life for the better. Israel is a real man he step up and was there for her no matter what, I loved how they became friends first lusting after each other before finally giving in & became lovers. Now that Tiphani finally found happiness somebody trying to fyck it by breaking into Israel home beating her so bad they don't know if she's going to make & to make matters worst Israel found out he might be the father of Twin girls how the plot Thickens. Can't wait for part 2 to drop to see how everything unfolds

This book held me captive from the very first page and the end and what a ending. I still wanted more and I couldn't put it down. Very well written and flowed so smoothly until i couldn't believe it had ended. Loved these characters and the storyline add the plot and it was entertaining and interesting. I must say, Coco with each book your writing gets better and better and I love your style. Love these couple together and can't wait to see what's happening in PT.2. Highly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed. Amazing job Coco Shawnde.

Just Okay
Okay when I started reading this it was not what I expected,because out the gate,it was just a tad too juvenile.I mean the writer gets the dialogue right but the way its delivered is just a bit childish.I love that you get a little glimpse of what this story could be with the lessons on the choices we make in life.The writer has a lot of promise and I know its only going to get better.This was am okay read I was just expecting a great read.

Painful
Seriously this book was so painful too read! I can’t get past the females referring to themselves as “B’s” and the men referring to their women as female dogs. I’m aware of the genre that I’m reading but this is ridiculous! This is your penmanship and you control your characters and I understand that but I think as a woman author you should do a little better of representing women. Overall the storyline was ok.

Not too good at all!!!
First time reading this author and man, I am so mad to have to rate this story this low because it was a nice plot but too confusing. It felt like reading a book that had no period, coma, exclamation point, or question marks. Everything was all jammed up together and nothing made sense until it was the first line of some one POV's. I can't even bring myself to read the other books. This will be it for this author for now...

This book was soooo good. It caught my attention from the first page. I didn’t want to stop reading. Tiphani and Israel were really cute together. I loved how their relationship developed. This book had twists and turns. I loved watching A’Blesson and Kayloni try to work on their relationship. That ending was crazy. So many unanswered questions. I can’t wait for part 2.

Yes love Issy! He came through when Bea was going through it and finally when they make it official something bad happens to Bea. Ablesson and Kayloni are having a baby I hope he doesn't mess up. I like Jah'Bori for Tae Tae I know she just got a divorce but I think she should give him a chance. I wonder who is the twins mother is.

I like this story. At first I thought Tiphani was up to no good but that wasn't true. Love how the relationship blossomed between Tiphani and Israel. I like Ablesson name and his relationship with his girlfriend. What is Capone up to and who came in Israel's house its about to be a blood bath!!

This is my very first time reading a Coco Shawnde book and I'm enjoying it so far. I like how book one gives you a little background on the characters with them developing friendships and intimate relationships leading up to drama that is about to unfold big time. About to start part 2 to see how it all plays out.

This read was so captivating that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I loved that the storyline was different and unpredictable. I love the characters, but I wanted to know more about Esha’s characters for some off reason. Well let’s jump into part 2 to see how the rest of this storyline will unfold.

I'm so in love with Tip and Issy, they are the best to me so far. I hope she's ok. Trevia (if I'm spelling it right) and J, I hope they get it together, well her. They seems to have a good connection too. Ablesson and Kay are hilarious couple they are made for each other! Great read!

Damn
This could have been an amazing story if the middle had more substance. The beginning sucked me in and then it was a bunch of fluff. The last few chapters made for a great climax. So why the 4 stars and not 2 or 3? I see the potential and it was good. Hopefully part 2 fill in some blanks and have more substance.
