After being a banger throughout her teenaged years, she's trying to move away from her past with her steady man, Richmond Whitfield, and their son, Killion. She hopes one day to get married and live the dream life she's always wanted. But trying to get one's life together isn't as easy as putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls. In trying to make ends meet, they both have to work long hours... but Richmond has been secretive as of late. Mistrust ensues, and Jah'miya can hardly rely on her friends for support. Will they manage to talk things over, or is their relationship over? Can Richmond be trusted? And who is this strange person asking for Jah'miya at her babysitter's?

I totally thought the surprise ending would be that Richmond was banging one of Miya's ho friends lol. Everyone just loves having sex around her and she sure does love watching, lil freaky voyeur. I hate how her friends used her for a place to have sex but happy that she didn't give into temptation and cheat on Richmond. I hate that she couldn't tell Richmond the truth from the get go. Not sure if I'll read the next one in the series but everyone in this book is a hot mess. A good and quick read.

I did not see this coming!

Imagine waking up to an explosion at the front door and the police asking your boyfriend to come out with his hands up.
This was the last thing that I expected from this short and steady paced read. The book ends in a cliffhanger, but I'm delighted that the author has a sequel. Looking forward to reading her next book and I certainly recommend this one.

This book had me hooked from page one

I absolutely love the way the author writes, she had me totally involved with each character from the beginning and on the edge of my seat screaming at the end of the book!!! What a cliff hanger!!! I'm not waiting...already starting book 2....I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!

Good

The read was kinda "slow to point"... I was wanting to finish the sentences of what was about to happen. Picked up at end.

Wanting more

Good book with a lot of ups and downs, with drama following her closely. On to part 2 of the series

Unexpected

Quick unexpected read. Miyah was a hypocrite but that ending was unexpected and what has Richmond really been hiding? No I have to see what happens.
