Growing tired of it all, she just may end up doing something that she never thought she would...walk away. But will walking away cause more harm than good?Bryce "Blaze" Pierce is a true boss in these streets, owning several operations with his brother.

But now, his relationship is being tested persistently, and he has to get ahold of the situation before it's too late. Adding to his dilemma, someone is plotting against Blaze, and he has to figure out who it is. Is it a friend or a foe? Will the answers he seeks be his downfall?Author Twyla T brings you another sure fire hit with this new novella. Find out all the answers to these burning questions when you one-click.

Sylvia was pure evil. She really had her sons under her spell. Lyric was the right one when it came to dealing with Sylvia. Storyline well written as these characters provided quite a bit of drama in this 1st book. Good read

Sylvia needs to go!

Sylvia needs to go. She is the mother in law from hell. Blaze and Lo really need to put her in her place. If they won't then Brooklyn and Lyric will. I love Blaze and Brook together. Blaze is finally catching on to Sylvias antics. Brook and Lyric have a friendship like no other. I loved the way she came to Brooks rescue with the crooked cop. A true ride or die.

Satisfied Reader

This was a definite page turner. I wish Brooklyn could've put the foo flops on Blaze's mom. She was evil and was trying to ruin his happiness. I was so thankful for Kita. Lo still had the soft spot for mom's but he do know how dirty she can get. Lyric should've 2 pieced her. GREAT JOB GREAT STORY

Review

Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t stop. That Sylvia was a hot mess to say the least. I’ve heard of a control freak,but she took the cake. The things she did to the women in her son’s lives were despicable. Lo better run as fast as he can to get away from her like Blaze did.

This book was awesome. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the relationship the four of them had. Brooklyn and Lyric were two rude or die girls. Blaze and Lo were great brothers with a trifling ass momma. My thing is this if you see your son happy just let him live. I believe Sylvia was truly jealous that her sons were going to leave her with anything. Those boys loved her beyond love but her trifling ass couldn’t see that until she lose one of them. I’m just happy Blaze and Brooklyn finally got their happy ending. Great story Twyla T you are a beast with the pen.

Crazy!

First off there is no way I could deal with a mother in law like Sylvia. Her jealous ways had her doing the unthinkable. Instead of trying to bond with her sons women she was doing everything to tear them apart. I'm glad Blaze didnt let that stop him from being with Brooklyn but I can only wonder how much Brooklyn can take.

Good

At first I was worried but after reading I can’t stand Sylvia and Lo was just a momma boy or something. He didn’t see any wrong in what his momma did to brook and blaze and that was crazy! Even having the recording he still said and did nothing. Now blaze he didn’t care and once he heard the recording he left mom and brother there and went to get his woman. The heart wants what it wants! But Sylvia was really in love with her sons to the point she would have them set up or atleast blaze! That’s crazy, and she was crazy if she thought he wasn’t gonna go for his wonan

Impactful

This novella is very impactful. With all of the action that is going on, it feels like I was reading a full novel. Brooklyn and Blaze face some serious issues, stemming from both family and foes. The way that they handle things is admirable. I could use another dose of them. Applause to the author on another good story.

Good Read

Lord knows that Sylvia worked my nerves! That lady needs some serious help! All the problems going on didn’t need to happen but they did because she wanted her boys all to herself. Blaze finally seen his mother for what she was and that was conniving. Brooklyn and Blaze were good together.

Now let’s see how Lyric and Lo will manage because from that little snip I don’t think things will last long.

Great Read/Great Start

This novella was good from beginning to the end. What a way to start a new series of novellas with a banger. Held my attention and kept me wondering what's happening next. Sylvia was something else and then some. Blaze eyes are out to his mother while Lo still has his blinders on. Can't wait to see what happens next in the series. Job well done Twyla T.

Issa psycho

This book here! Baby listen that momma was to much for me! she’d have to go! She’s a freaking psychopath. London really irked me. Like it was like his mother could do no wrong. Even with the proof right in front of his face! We’d have to divorce ain’t no way! At least Blaze said f her. This book was so good I need more. Fantastic job as usual!

Great read

I liked reading about Blaze and Brook. My favorite character was Lyric because babe was a down to earth true friend. I wanted to smack Blaze's mom. I had peeped her game from the beginning. She was just too attached.
