Camren is what you call a plus size diva, but she is having a hard time getting her baby father, Koran to love her. She comes across some devastating news causing her to run into the arms of another man, Royal, who is her best friend Jamie’s brother. Jamie and Ashaun marriage is rocky because he had a baby by another woman. Ashaun caters to her in every way hoping she would forgive him, but she can’t get over the betrayal. She longs for her first love who she has to pretend that she doesn’t even know, out of fear of what her brothers might think. Corey is Royal’s and Jamie’s baby brother, he is the wild one. Always hopping from one female to the next and has a serious temper. But only one person can bring out his soft side and that’s Tee-Tee. No one knows about their secret love affair because Tee-Tee is also a member of The Fam. The most notorious drug cartel in the whole DMV. When secret love affairs are exposed, and jealous exes can’t let go, who will remain? Will all three couples survive? Only way to find out is if you join the members of the Fam.
I finally got around to reading Natavia's work and I wasn't disappointed at all. With this group, a perfect love story didn't seem to be anywhere near. Cam experienced so much when it came to Koran and once she gave Royal a chance things were on the right track. I understood how frustrating it was for Royal when Cam was in her feelings or holding back when all he was trying to do is show her she was worth so much more. Koran got on my nerves. Yes he went through some rough things during his childhood but he didn't deserve Cam or Parker. Jamie was doing the most at times and knowing she had not one but two secrets of her own had me looking at her sideways. Ashaun messed up but was actually trying to do right. One drunken moment changed things but I'm glad he put everything out in the open. I swear I thought Tee-Tee was a dude in the beginning. I agreed with Corey and how he felt because Tee was selfish and not taking the what ifs into consideration. She seemed to really start doing the most craziest things without thinking of the consequences. Although Corey is a bit crazy, I really liked him because he was always one up on whoever thought about harming him or those closest to him. I think I have it figured out who Killa is but I wasn't ready for the book to end. I'm glad I already have the whole series so I can keep reading and she what else these fools are up to.
This is regarding both Books 1 & 2....were on earth was the reviewer? The Grammar in these books.....I'm not sure if it was the narrators or the way the author penned the story....But, it was absolutely terrible! It astonishes me how so many people gave these books 5 stars and spoke about "how good these stories are"....I guess that's what makes the world go around! We are all different and have an appreciation for vary different things. These stories and characters were undeveloped and one dimensional....These stories only spoke of Killing, having unprotected sex with various people, selling drugs, eating & drinking. There was absolutely no substance at all. The male narrator had a decent pitch; However & But....that female narrator....Just TERRIBLE! Throughout both stories, the narrators mispronounced words and hit us with double negatives over a 5 hour narration timeframe...it was just too much throughout these books from both narrators...and I'm happy I didn't waste a credit or two on these books and borrowed them from the library.
This was a good book.....it ended kind of abruptly just when things got good!! Cam cam cam.... I dont understand her bck tracking i hope she really didnt and homeboy was talking out his behind!! Royal is EVERYTHING! I would like to know more history on jamie and killa! But cant wait for book 2!!
Man where do I start??? I have to start off with my favs Corey and Tee Tee!! Their love story was explosive, toxic and wild but through all the mess I could literally feel the love they had for each other through the pages! Tee , baby you gotta get it together mama!!! I was really enjoying Royal and Cams love story until Royal had to mess it all up (✋🏿 here's a slap for the back of his head 😂) I like and dislike Koran at the same time lol, I'm glad he admitted his wrongs and went to get help to better himself for his daughter! He definitely had slot of childhood trauma. Even with all that he still acts so annoying when it comes to Cam and Royal. I don't think I like Jamie lol or her husband for that matter! The ending was wild!! Can't wait to get into part 2!!
Just when it was getting good it ended. With all the mess going on with the couples I think all of them need a break. Not sure on any of the relationships though, seems like the title fits this to a tee because they all having a problem with being with each other. I like how Royal stepped up in this one, Jamie and Ashaun need to just let it go, Cam is a fool if she goes back to Koran, no matter if he’s getting it together or not. I have a feeling someone didn’t make it out of this one but I hope it wasn’t Royal, he seems like the only level headed on out of the bunch.
I really liked this book. Natavia did it again. I love her writing style. We have a different relationships going on and each has their own issues and ways to try to figure it out. I loved Corey and Te-Te and can't wait to continue reading about them. They are hilarious
Great read. From beginning to end it kept me captivated & wanting to know what was going to happen next. I'm definitely looking forward to reading part 2.
Listen… if you love mess, drama, and a whole lotta secret love affairs, this book right here? Yeah, it’s for YOU. Who Wants That Perfect Love Story gives us Camren — a plus-size diva who’s trying to get her baby daddy to act right, but life said “Plot twist!” and threw Royal, a whole new man, right into her arms. And let’s just say… she didn’t resist too hard.
Meanwhile, Ashaun is trying to win back his wife, Jamie, but she’s still mad about that outside baby — and honestly, she deserves to be. Then there’s Corey — the wild little brother with too much attitude and not enough self-control — falling for Tee-Tee, who’s not just fine, she’s dangerous and in the cartel. Like what?! Sign me up!
Three messy couples. One big cartel. Secrets, betrayal, and love that hits where it hurts. This book is the definition of juicy. I was locked in, screaming at characters one minute and rooting for them the next. It’s giving drama, it’s giving feels, it’s giving Natavia in her BAG.
Highly recommend if you love love… but also love chaos. 😂💥📚

I can’t believe Cam stayed with Koran for so many years. I’m glad she finally let him go though. I’m glad that Royal and Cam finally got together even though they went through their fights at times. Corey and tee tee need to get it together though. I hope tee tee finally realizes what she has in Corey before it’s too late. Koran needs to just lay off Cam he had his chance. I don’t know what to say about ashaun and Jamie. I don’t even know if they should even be married. I can’t wait to read part 2.
I enjoyed becoming acquainted with The Fam. I did not care for Koran, his attitude sucked. He was just like his father. I was glad he went into treatment. Corey was in love with Tee Tee and she betrayed him. I liked Royal, he was cool. I liked the way Corey took care of Man Man who was planning to kidnap their mother. Cam, Cam, will habe to wait and see who she ends up. Is their an upcoming pregnancy in the work. A good read, getting ready to start book 2.
I have to rate this 📖 on the entire series since they are connected & it was worth ALLLLLLL of my time! These characters are incredibly flawed and beautiful . Their lives and love are so real and true, so much so I was up ⬆️, down ⤵️ & twisted around 🔀.
Sooooo many emotions were invoked 😂💗😮🤭🔫👊🏾👀😅🔪🧐🙌🏾🔥🥃💔💦👅, so so many emotions 😁😁😁, and I loved it till the very end 😊. Treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed, ‘I promise’ 😉.
This couple are straight up crazy! It's sad to see they have no respect for themselves or there partners but I will say this book is hilarious. I would have liked to see a little more relationship building with the couples but they were entertaining to read about. Tee-Tee and Corey are my favorites. This book is definitely one worth reading.
Now Cam know she don’t belong with Koran that man don’t do nothing for her and his child. I like royal for her they better stop playing and make it right. I don’t know what’s wrong with Jamie if you not happy than leave your husband wasting each other time. Tee tee and Corey need to get it together i can’t wait for part 2
I don’t know what took me so long to finally read the very first series but I’m glad I did. I started with DCLFL and tried my damnedest to keep up with everything Natavia done wrote since. I’ve missed a few novels but reading this one for the first time got me hyped as hellll…..I can’t to see what’s finna pop off.
Corey ain’t no joke, I like Corey! Royal trying and Cam is a hot mess, that Koran screwed her mind up so bad she can’t appreciate a good man. They don’t know how to communicate - all this fighting and arguing. It’s a lot of secrets in this group which isn’t good!
Such an emotional and passionate group. I love it! This is group full of misfits. You know what they say we all have our own quirks and this group definitely fit the bill. Amazing drama from beginning to end. The best movie that is playing in my head. Can not wait to see what happens next. Great Read! ReneeG
The book was so good I couldn't put it down. I started reading it at maybe 10 that night and finished it by 4 in the morning. I was so turned on I had to have sex with my husband. This is a must read
There was so much going on with these 3 couples. I mean the tea started spilling all over the place. I know even more tea is going to be spilled in part 2....😳😳😳. Yep, I am to read part 2 right now. Good job, Natavia!
This was the 1st book of hers that I’ve read and baby was it bananas! I can’t wait to read more! All the women were doing stupid stuff! Causing unnecessary problems! Not saying the men were innocent in any way I can’t wait for part 2
I enjoyed the book from the start! I love this author's creativity, the characters are relateable, if that's a word :)....I would recommend this book and few others she has written. No perfect love story here.
The writing and manner of speaking had me perplexed. Did the author intend to write this way? The story was easy to follow with lots of drama. I'll have to check out the second part of the story. The first book ended with a cliffhanger.
Man o man!! They all wild!! Cam crazy if she still in love with Koran. Jamie just plan crazy. She needs to let Ashaun go. I like Royal for Cam.. I kind of want TeeTee and Corey to get it right.. Now let me read part 2
I cant wait to read the next one this one was a page Turner want royle and cam to be together so i hope #2 is better than #1 the love stories have you wanting more. So to natavia keep them coming. In to #2
Boy, if these fools not messy. I feel like a fly on the wall with all this drama. It feels like everyone can get it from the other, just stable sister's and brothers everywhere. Part 2 it is!! Lmao!!
I listened to this as an audio book. I have to say i was a little disappointed with the woman reader.. i found her "reading" and not emphasizing in the correct parts.
This was a new author for me. I would like to continue with the series. The ending was a cliff hanger.. but i guess that sells.
