Between Love And A Hard Place
Between Love and A Hard Place: Book 3
Beautiful Overcomer. Those two words could perfectly describe Airis, who’s been bruised and battered, both literally and figuratively, but if you know Airis Hayes, you would know that she is not easily broken.
Airis was beautiful, and to be that after hell has been your home for a while, it’s a phenomenal piece of jewelry for her soul to wear. Her overcoming her own hurt and sadness could make anyone forget about living their own life.
Just as Airis forgives those who’ve harmed her and she begins her journey to recovery, hoping to completely rid herself of the drama that almost stole her life away, she finds herself mixed up in some more bull-swanky. This time with her friends Nirvana and Taryn.
Seek and ye shall find. This saying rings true for Nirvana. After sniffing out some bullshit her husband fed her one day, Nirvana does the inevitable. Not one to usually be insecure in her marriage, she decides to follow her husband on his business trip to New York one day, where she finds more than she had bargained for. Had she been sleeping with a stranger all along? Will she be able to live with who he is?
From the projects to the penthouse, Taryn found that she never really loved her husband Mike. She only loved his stability, money, and his plush lifestyle. Other than keeping her pockets fat, Mike doesn’t satisfy her needs in the bedroom. However, when a blast from her unruly past interrupts her lavish living, supplying her with just the right amount of vitamin ‘D’ she needed, is Taryn crazy enough to risk everything she worked so hard for some dick?

About the author
Sage Monreaux
6 books1 followerJasemine Knowles, better known as Sage Monreaux is a twenty-something-year-old Houston city girl who enjoys cooking, blogging, traveling, talking sex and self-love, and of course, writing. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and journalism from Texas Southern University (HBCU). Not only was she a star student, where multiple journalism professors highlighted her story-telling skills, it was after she earned two journalism awards and being on her “Being-Mary-Jane” as a journalist for a black-owned newspaper/media company based in Houston, that she decided to pen her first novel: Between Love and a Hard Place (BLHP). Having been diagnosed with PTSD/anxiety in her undergraduate years, in between the pages of BLHP, it is there Sage pours out her most intricate pieces of her soul through her main character.
Passionate about both mental health and self-love, Sage has attracted a community of caged birds (women) who are seeking to break free and learn how to fly again. Sage writes spellbinding tales of the heart that’ll not only bring sheer pleasure and bliss but will declare healing in your life.

True to !ife
!ife can be be so hard that's why I spell it with an exclamation point. tragically humans always wants more than they can handle. No lessons learned when one person is selfish.

Ok so this story is shaping up nicely. I've read the connection. I'm glad Airis' life has changed. I think Silas has made a horrible mistake, hopefully he will meet someone he can love. Taryn has really created a mess. Storyline continues to hold my attention. Good drama

Round 3
Wow! Where do I start! Dwayne’s doggish AZZ got exactly what he needed to get. I’m down on him. Shay was stupid and very unrealistic to think of having a relationship with someone that was gonna be in jail for a very, very, long time! Airis I love and I think it was time for her to find love! I don’t think her and Neiko moved too fast it is what it is? Love!!!!! Nirvana is a very good friend and I like that. If you were crazy on trying to figure out what Judy was doing and now she knows. But sometimes she lets too much out like why was she telling about Neiko? Taryn is Trifling and very selfish and, maybe at her door very much! She’s a stupid cheater! There’s nothing else to say so she’ll definitely get what she deserves and Mike is no punk. Alicia I don’t know what she’s doing right now but I’m sure she’ll become back in the picture part 4! We’ll see! Love this series

Just Keeps Getting Better
Well book 3 just keeps getting better. Taryn and her greedy ways going to get her in a lot of trouble. Nirvana is needs a job with her messy self. Can’t wait to see where Raheem has been. I mean maybe I missed it with all that’s been going on and maybe need to reread book 1 but he needs to show up and show out in book 4.

Phenomenal. Taryn is a selfish piece of work. Mike will be the victor in the end. I love both Airis and Nirvana.. even poor Silas. Dwayne is also a delish piece of work as crazy on top of everything. Great read. Love love loved!!!

Loved it
I just loved this book. Each book is better than the previous one. I knew Mike would find out about Taryn's affair. Now she will be back at square one. I can't wait to find out what is going to happen in Part 4.
