Really enjoyed this one even though I hate reading books with young x in them, this one was still good. Predictable as far as what was going on with Janea though, I wish the author would’ve tried to hide it a bit more. The ending was a mess though so I have to see just what’s going to happen.

This book was everything! I loved Britain & O'Shea's relationship. Kenjay and Latavia had me cracking up. Geraldine was crazy as hell, I loved her. OMG Tookie was crazy too but that was one funny bird.That ending left me speechless and I can't wait for part 2.

Tookie.....
Let's start with the bird, the outbursts were hilarious. Geraldine was also a fun character. I was happy that she overcame her addiction. It takes talent to turn a crack head into a likeable character. I like Britains personality too, she was forgiving and understanding towards O'Shea. I'm happy that you thought outside the box with Britians appearance, getting tired of these carbon copy chicks in urban books. I figured Y was the older man J was with but I was shocked about C. Kenjay was smart but still got caught slippin, dang. I'm always a fan when I can get a good story in one book. I'm glad you didn't drag the Shia thing on for 5 damn books before he even found out about her...lol
I would definitely read another book with these characters, this time with Kenjay and Latavia as mains.

Loved it
This book was everything. I loved Britain's self confidence even as a young girl. She stayed untethered by her circumstances of having a crack head mother. Geraldine was wild and crazy but she managed to look out for her daughter no matter what. O'Neal was another favorite of mines because in spite of his youth, he was able to look past the physical when it came to Britain being full figured and fell really hard for her. His parents were something else though. Yager was a straight monster. Kenjay was hard but not hard enough but met his match with Latavia. Tookie was funny and Janae/Carla was plum crazy. The story had a lot of drama, it was funny and so parts were even sad. It was a good read with a lot going on. The cliff hanger was everything and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series. In fact I can't wait and recommend you to read it too.

Dont come looking for love
I loved this story and the fact that it was a full book, I didn't have to wait months and months for a part two or three, all the drama and emotions were all there for me to real in. I loved how I never for border with this boon, it was never a point were I'm like okay I don't wanna read this anymore, I always was wanting more and hoping it was never going to end. I can't wait for keyjan spin off, I'm still wondering how they never noticed carla was crazy when they were little. Any who, gonna be waiting for the next instalment

Natavia delivers another banger
Great way to start a series. Love Oshea and Brit together. They are adorable. So glad he got his act together, because boy was he pushing it. That dag on Kenjay though, he is a trip. Double standard much? He had met his match with Latavia though. She gets right with his smart behind. That parrot is freaking hilarious. She talks ish about everybody except Brit and Shia. Soooo funny. I can't believe that ending though. Sad that happened to Tammy hoping everything works out for Kenjay and Latavia though.

Certified Banger!!!
Natavia, this book was so good!! I got mad as hell when I got to the end because I wanted to keep reading more. This was a good, solid book that was written very well. I love your style of writing with the humor throughout. It's a breath of fresh air. Between Tookie and Geraldine, I don't know who was funnier. I highly recommend this book and your other books also. I cannot wait for Kenjay's story. Keep up the excellent writing!!!

This storyline was on the romantic side. I was a little skeptical because the characters seemed to be young; however, I was impressed at how well the authoress was able to portray them. The deceit was definitely jaw dropping to say the least. The book was slightly predictable, but nonetheless I enjoyed it. My favorite character is definitely Tookie. That parrot was the truth. I'm glad Oshea got it together.

I have never in my laughed so much reading a book. I was literally in tears and telling people to read certain sections every time I opened the book. The author did a good job with making the characters unique and not stereotypical. The characters weren't just about selling drugs and wearing name brand clothes. They actually had goals and careers and went through realistic family problems. This book was a nice change for this genre and I loved every minute of it.

Let me explain how hard I was laughing at Geraldine and Tookie! I promise these two characters made this hot dang book. This book was strange... not in a bad way it's just that the situations were... odd.. I mean it all came around and made sense but that Carla and Jordan situation... wow.
Kenjay grew on me... him and Latavia... so I am going to continue on to book two... this should be a ride lol.

Great read
I swear Natavia is a beast with the pen. He books always draw you in and makes it hard for you to put them down and this one was no different. I love O'shae & Britain they never gave up on there love no matter what came there way! I'm happy they seemed to get there happy end. I can't wait for book 2 to see how Kenjay's story turn out and if Latavia and the baby survive.

SHea and Britain!
This is proof that just because you grow up in poverty, does not mean that you cannot raise to the top. To be able to Love someone at young age and continue to have that same love after 8 years of not seeing each other, it was meant to be. Can't wait to read book 2!

Fire from start to finish
I couldn't put the book down. I laughed so much. It was an emotional rollercoaster with a great story. Geraldine is by far one on my favorite characters of all times.
