There’s something about a street chick that holds her dude down while he out grindin’. While she’s holdin’ it down, is her man really grindin’ or cheatin’?
Yahria aka Yah-Yah was a hood chick that didn’t mind fighting for what she loved. Growing up without both of her parents, she was a product her environment. She was raised by her grandmother and was the girlfriend to the newest up and coming dopeboy. Putting her life on hold, Yahria made sure her man’s needs came first while she lagged behind with his promises to make sure she was straight. After one drunken night, she discovers her intuition was right all along.
Subashtian aka Bash isn’t your average dude. He dresses different, he acts different, and he spends his money different. To the human eye, he’s not a boss but the people close to him know what and who he is. Bash took a big loss, and it made him hide in a shell. He promised to never open up to anyone else besides his family. He thought he had everything planned out until destiny linked him with his opposite. Bash likes his women calm and lady-like until he meets Yah-Yah.
Can opposites attract or will they clash because they are from two different worlds?
😮😮🤭🤭🔥🔥🔥 Jenica Johnson!!! This book gives me life!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽 I truly enjoyed it!!! I can’t get over Big Ma she is so funny & a real OG!! Lolll I just love Bash for Yah Yah he is exactly what she needs and vise versa! I just wish the haters back thee hell off em and let em live!! Damn!! Y’all it’s A must read!! On to part2!😝😝😝
This was the first book I read by this author and trust it won't be my last. Bash and Yah Yah are cute together but that mother of his is a piece of work. I can't wait to read part 2 cause I know it's about to go down is anyone really safe when playing with Kelly?
What kind of parent wouldn’t want to see their child happy especially after what they’ve been through. Kelly is not taking her sister’s warning , she’s under estimating her son. I just hope that Yah Yah and Bash can make it through whatever bullshit she brings. Pharaoh he messed up why can’t he let her be,I have a feeling that Kesh is going to be a thorn once she finds out he’s back...
O.M.G... What did I just gotten myself in!!! That Kelly, wow....
So this is my first time reading this author and boy I don't know why and how I never read her and how come this author never came up on my radar. I truly hope her work continues as such because I will be binging on her books... Now Yarhia, wow what a girl, a woman, a lady(not), but you got it. Although she wants to be portrayed as this independence strong willed woman, and she is that but truthfully she is a softy with a big heart and a generous attitude. Love it... She is so different than what most of us readers and others are used to read about. Usually it's the man that shows out like that and it's not to see a lady being soo hood, and gangster and all. Now Subahstian "bash" is not a small thing, or a softy but simply put "being there, done that" is how he is going by with his life right now. He was a gangster, a hoodlum and dope boy but he outgrew all that and became this legit person who in turn changed his whole life around and just became this mellow thug out dominant alpha male persona and he is looking for his soulmate to submit to him, but need to stop being a mamma's boy... Now Neca, man you are so legit girl, they don't make bff like that anymore.. You are a true one of a kind friend. Pharaoh, Kelly, Kesh, wow, wow, wow... I truly hope that karma comes for you guys because yo, you people are too much out there. I want me a Big momma to.. She is the bomb. Now this intro was the perfect beginning and I can't wait to see what going to happened.
Wow! I honestly don’t know where to begin. I don’t want to spoil it for others, but Jenica deserves this review.
The book is A1.
The best part about the storyline is the fact that there were things that I didn’t foresee. There’s plenty of authors doing their thing, but you know what to expect. And of course, Jenica drops some jewels through her characters (BTW, I REALLY miss your Urban Christian reads).
Yahria had a personality that you couldn’t help but to be drawn to. You want her to win. It was nice to see her evolve. As previously stated, there were some jewels dropped and maybe her growth in this book will encourage someone to do what’s best for them, above everyone else’s needs/desires.
I don’t think Pharaoh is a horrible guy. I simply believe that his pride won’t let him be great.
Bash may have still been grieving, but I don’t think we should sleep on him. Bae ain’t wrapped too tight and I’m sure we’ll see that in the 2nd installment.
READ THE BOOK! I finished it in a few hours and here I am, anxiously awaiting part 2.
Yah-Yah aka Yahria as been dogged by her man Pharoh but she will keep messing with him? Kesha been with Pharoh for over 10yrs and is hiding a secret too! Neca keeps talking with her bff and praying that she makes some decisions and puts herself first!!! Sebastian aka Bash is in mourning for his fiancé Esha and chills with his son. His mama takes care of him and her son;however, she wants him to see with someone of his caliber. Bash is starting to have eyes for this rude, sassy mouth chick name Yah-Yah. With connections in the law arena Bash and his momma are working hard to either keep Yah-Yah around per Bash or get rid of her per his Mother. In the meantime Kesh is pregnant again by Pharoh and even from jail he does not want to see her again. Fresh out of jail Bash’s mom has plans for Pharoh as Yah-Yah and Bash get closer. Neca is Pharoh’s cousin but there is no love between them. Part 2 is going to be hell!!
This was my first book by Jenica Johnson and I must say I was intrigued. I really enjoyed the charters and liked how she did not make the characters to young and Bas and Yah-Yah didn't have too big of an age gap. I have read a lot of urban fiction books and these characters stood out.
Bas was not your typical Dope boy from the hood, he made moves in silence.
Yah-Yah was a wild card and Bas is just what she needs to bring her down to earth. He fell for her lil but hard though lol.
Bas's mom and aunt are both a piece of work... like who treats their child and nephew like that I just could not believe it.
Then we have Yah-Yah's Big Momma and I just love her to pieces. She gives that hood hard love.
But Yah-Yah's ex and his Baby momma wow those two are going to get someone hurt and badly.
What in the world?! Some of the characters in this book are truly a mess! Yahria is definitely ratchet...but I hope Bash can turn all that around. She really has potential. Kesh & Egypt (lol Pharoah) are trifling & truly deserve one another. And the biggest surprise of them all is definitely ma Kelly!! I think her actions are gonna cause her alot of heartache. Bash is the true definition of a "grown a** man" as he can say. If you want a whirlwind from beginning to end, then this is a book for you. Just Yah Yah alone with her fighting & attitude will keep you entertained. Waiting on part two to see if Yah Yah can be tamed & what fate lies in store for Bashs' mom.
This is the first book that I read by Ms. Jenica oh but it will NOT be my last! I'm already low-key stalking her page trying to see when part two is coming out!! Pharaoh is a darn fool and Kesha is too who the hell agrees to hide a child that was born three or more years before they got into a relationship?? Those two dummies SMDH I love Yahria like she is && I love her bestie & Grandma those two together are force to be reckoned with! Bash's mom & aunt scandalous although the auntie attempts to be a little more level headed! This is a must read I was thrown off by the title but when I finally read the synopsis I said i'll give it a try boy am I glad I did! I will NOT give the storyline away but please read this!! Great read I couldn't put the book down
Bash's mama is a hot damn mess n she pissing me off to the highest degree. She need to leave him alone n let him do him...its simple man. I'm hoping that she got an ass whooping coming to her real soon. So now she done got Pharoah outta prison just for him to get Yahira back so she can leave Bash alone. Yea Kelly is so damn messy smh... She gonna learn a very hard lesson smh. I hope that Yahira n Bash can hold strong for the bs that's about to come their way smh. This book done got me in my damn feelings man. But how Kelly gonna tell Bash that her husband wasn't his father... Smh... Damn I can't wait to read part 2. Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Omg! Ok so this is my first time reading this author and I see she don’t play no games. Pharaoh wasn’t 💩 Kesh was just plain ol’ dumb and annoying 😒 I loved Neca , she was a true friend to Yahria. Now Yahria might have been this hood girl but I liked her. She didn’t play no games. Bash was such a sweet man, I love how he really loves his son and he’s not about no games. Now on this his TRIFLING mama , she definitely needs to her that a** tapped and I was praying that Yahria popped her in her💩 can’t wait to see how this all plays out.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was on the edge of my seat the whole book!!!! Yahria got some sense and left that ex alone for good!!!! I love that bash and her together even though they were at each other throat!! Love will make you do so crazy stuff but once you’re done you’re done!!! Kelly need her ass whipped playing like she a child!!! I got a feeling she done messed up though getting (Egypt) as big ma call him out of jail!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!
Bash mom needs to get a life. The things she doing is only going to push Bash away. I really think she should have listened to her sister. You can tell Bash is going to upgrade Yah Yah for the better. He already has her making changes in her behavior. Pharoah was the worst type of man. How could you be flossing while your lady look bummy. Pharoah and Kesh need to leave Yah Yah alone.
This was a pretty enjoyable read. I see so much growth in Yah........ Bash is just what she needs. Now is momma is a damn snake and I'll be surprised is she didn't kill Easha I hope his auntie come thru and tell him everything. Pharaoh need to leave Yah alone you didn't want her when you had her. Big ma Yasssss I like her. Glad we don't have to wait long for the next part
When leaving your ex it’s always best to upgrade, and that’s exactly what yah-yah did! Although she needed a lot of guidance, meeting Bash was a good thing for her instead of Roah! And Bash needs to let his baby mama rest in peace and move on, with time YahYah could be the right one for him. And let’s not get started on Bash mama, Kelly! She so conniving! She act like Bash her man and not her son. This book was good and I can’t wait for part 2
As usual this author delivered her A1 game. Bash's mom gave him the right name. He needs to take a brick and bash her upside the head. That woman is bat s**t crazy. Miss Thang really is a piece of work. Evil at it's worse. She acts like Bash is her man and not her son. Maybe if she disappears, then him and Yaya might have a chance. Hmmmm, we shall see.
I didn’t see that ending coming. Yaya made me want to choke her up until 71% of the book. My goodnessssssss she needs to grow up and FAST. She should’ve been more appreciative of her cousin. Bash got a heck of a lot more patience than me😶 His mom really shocked me but I have a feeling there’s a lot more to come. I hope part 2 storyline develops quicker than this one so I don’t have a heart attack cursing out Yaya.
Lawd!! I couldn't find this book quick enough. It held my interest from beginning to end. Ya-Ya is ghetto fabulous but with the affection and attention from Bash she is slowly changing for the better. Bash is bae, he came off mean but he really has a heart of gold. That Momma if his is trifling and I can't wait until she gets what's coming to her.
Kelly is something else....I didn't see this coming at all. Bash is about to cut the fool the way his mama is out here in these streets. Jenica always finds a new twist to pull you in and I can wait to see the outcome of This series. You can tell its about to be one awesome, action packed ride.
nope nah no Kelly needs to go to hell with gasoline drawers on. listen I don't believe that a guy should put his hands on a women or that a child should disrespect their mother but Kelly is an exception. big ma I love her and I have one. bash boy hold on to your girl yaya stand by your man. kesha and pharaoh drown yourselves
I and can't stand Kelly and she's just getter started! She really need to leave Bash and Yahria alone. I hope things work out with Bash and Yah Yah I want her to have babies and start her own business., it doesn't have to be in that order. Keesh is getting omn too with her desperate self, I also hope Yah Yah beat Kelly up.
Jenica this is the bomb.com. I am so glad n love with Bash!! That's bae all day. Man Bash mama is the devil. She needs to get a life. Her sister tried to warn her now she gone see a side of Bash she can't handle. Pharoah needs to stay in his lane bfor he get dealt with. Can't wait for part 2
Bash mother Kelly gots to go. How can you do all those things to a girl you don't know. Yahira just might be the one who Bash can fall in love with. Yahira is finally starting to be happy. Pharoah might as well forget Yahira she done moved on. Can't wait for pt 2. Very good book Jenica.
This was my first read from this author age I was really impressed. The storyline was bomb. Although it was fast paced, it still captivatedb my Attention from beginning to end. Im hoping I part 2 we get to see Bash get savage in part 2. I also was intrigued by Necas character.
Really good beginning to series as I completed in a couple of hours. Kelly was just wicked. She needed to let Bash live his own life. Bash was a genuine guy & I hope Ya-Ya keeps a level head & makes the right decisions. Big Ma was a trip. Roah & Kesh belonged together. Storyline full of surprises, well written & had a good mixture of characters. Looking forward to next part
I have all ways love ready book they were my excape from the world I haven't picked up my Kindle in too month my twin die two months ago and I just didn't have the passion no more but to day I came across your book and it was a breathing of fresh air I need this book god will help u to keep touch people
Yah Yah can't catch a break. First it was a cheating and lying man. Now she got the mother in-law from h*ll. Kelly thinks no woman is good enough for Bash and that they want him for his money. She will stop at nothing to have things her way. Can't wait til the next book comes out to see what happens next.
Very good read and detailed character development. Ya ya is my girl and kesh is scrum. I can't wait for nesh to find Mr right and swoop her off her feet. Pharaohs karma is coming and Bash will be the one delivering it along with boss moves. His momma ain't doodoo for what she's doing to them
First of all Kelly ass needs to get handle real quick. Like just be happy for your son and move on. It’s like she trying to live through him. Pharaoh and Kesh is a hot mess and I hope they leave Yahair alone. I feel like Bash about to really see his mother for who she really is
