Still The One For You
Whoever said love was enough, lied.
Married fresh out of high school, Xander ‘Xan’ and Tomelia ‘Tomi’ Williams are ready to spend the rest of their lives together. With a bond thicker than most, Xan and Tomi are committed to the vows they took, or at least they thought they were until the aisle they walked down separates, taking them on opposite paths.
Stuck caring for his ailing parents, Xan foregoes college and enters the workforce to pay for their piling medical bills. The jobs that he works are dead end and pay very little, but Xan doesn’t mind as long as his parents are taken care of. Xan loves Tomi within the depths of his soul and couldn’t wish for a more loyal lady.
Now the breadwinner of the family, Tomi feels unloved and is tired of carrying the load on her back. She understands that being an only child, Xan wants to do everything he can for his parents, but it’s driving a wedge between the two of them and causing her to resent him. In search of peace from her home life, she finds some relief in monetary form from well-known Shea Reed. She learns quickly that everything that glitters isn’t gold, but will it be too late to work things out with Xander, the one man that loves her unconditionally?

Loved It
An amazing well written love story that I really enjoyed reading. The characters were great which gives you an instant connection to them through every form of pain they experience. Definitely some lessons to learn while reading this book. Hurt people, hurt people and communication is key in any relationship. Although Xander and Tomi were young when they first got married, they experienced some obstacles in their relationship that broke them down only for them to realize years later that nothing can stop them from still being that one for each other. Highly recommended reading.

When i tell you this book took me through wow Bianca you did that. Xan and Tomeli was just like every married couple they had their issues but how you come out of it is what matters if you haven't read this you dont know what you are missing kudos to Bianca.

Woooooo
So many different thoughts about this book! They both were wrong for various reasons in the marriage even before Shea became a factor! Xan for not taking the time to realize his mistakes when putting his mother before her. For letting his mother dictate their marriage for real and disrespect his wife! “Tomi! for not considering his needs along with hers and putting her wants first. For emasculating him at ever turn. Not listening to his ideas or wanting to do what he suggests but never having any ideas of her own. A marriage is supposed to be about we he was about we. She was about me, I. There is no I in we. She’s saw the weakness in their marriage and used that to his advantage. She could’ve done more to stop it but chose not to. She could’ve told Xan but didn’t. She wanted to blame Xan when all of what happened could’ve been avoided if she had been up 100 from the gate instead of being sneaky and secretive. It was like she never wanted to see her fault in what she did. I don’t blame Xan for feeling how he felt. Do I blame him for how he handled the situation yes. This book took me through so many emotions. I was drained by the end. Phenomenal job. I expected nothing less from her

Just beautiful!😢😢😭😭😭
Bianca you have done it again! Fantastic job! This book, this storyline hit close to home. Throughout the book I found myself comparing, reminiscing, reflecting, revisiting,reliving and reloving...yes I made that word up...lol.. In marriage, there will be many trials, tribulations and obstacles. And you just have to be strong enough to deal with them... together... there would be times that one will be wrong and the other will be right but you just have to deal with it and move on. This book had sooo many lessons to be learned. And I pray that at the end of this book every reader will do just that. Because I’m sure that is what this author had set out to do...and she achieved it effortlessly. Definitely a must read that every reader will appreciate. Awesome!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This book was straight fire!!! It was so good. Xan and Tomi were high school sweethearts and married right after they graduated. His mom did everything in her power for 10 whole years to come in between them and unfortunately she eventually succeeded. They had a lot of issues that they needed to work on. I'm still tripping about Xan not following up with Tomi, Rich, nor Black to see whether or not Xylon was his child. I'm glad that he wasn't Shea’s because he wasn't a father figure anyway. I wish Xan would've listened to Mr. Mitchell from the beginning about his wife and marriage. I'm glad that Xan and Tomi got their second chance at love and HEA with their son and daughter on the way.

Great Story!
Bianca has done if again!!! The love Xander and Tomeli had for one another was priceless. It's sad that his mom was so miserable she couldn't let her son be happy. That damn Shea and Emersyn... Smh... He did all of that and he didn't even see or take care of his own kids. Emersyn was just like any other side chick trying to mess up a happy home. Both couples messed up in their marriage but sometimes we have to go through trials to get back on track. I love Rich and Black they were great friends and gave great advice. Tomelia also had a great friends. I enjoyed this book and I look forward to more excellent books by this author.

Omg!
This was such a wonderful love story! Bianca always pull at my heart with her writing, but this one HIT HOME! I saw myself in Tomi! I’m currently married to a Xan and we went through the same issues in our marriage. This book opened my eyes to love, trust and forgiveness. The gems that was dropped in this book will stick with me forever! I love when an author pull at your heart strings. Xan and Tomi’s love was so pure. They had amazing friends who kept them in check. Now, Xan’s mom reallllly irritated up until 90% lol she wouldn’t allow him to be a man. All in all, I’m happy I read this book. I’m happy the ending was realistic and it touched on real issues. ❤️

Emotional walls! Emotional walls!
Wow! This was a really great book! Tomi and Xan went through it! But they prevailed! This book had my emotions all over the place. Both characters had me aggravated. Tomi being selfish and Xan being a mommas boy. And then at 50% Xan really disappointed me. And when Tomi did her dirt just to even the score...just putting more hurt on themselves. Her dad was right, they needed a break. Once that storm passed, their rainbow was so beautiful! Great job B! I’m forever a fan!

Xan & Tomi
Bianca never disappointed Xan & Tomi was an very emotional couple I like the fact that they never tried to hide their emotions from each other. I was so mad when Xan hurt Tomi then when Tomi started talking to that dude I thought they was never gon get back together .It was crazy how they ended Tomi should have fought for Xan like he did her when he messed up I feel she let him leave without a fight. I loved their love they was made for each other I’m happy they got it together their love was real this was a great standalone

She does it again
Bianca is one of the best authors, I mean when a author have you reading at work, the red light , or on a date says alot. Xan and Tomelia relationship at 1st was so dysfunctional , I mean they loved each other but damn the just couldn't get it right for nothing. This book had me crying real tears where I kept reading the same sentence twice just so I could cry again lol . But authors like Bianca can't write fast enough bc I be wanting more . Great job but can we get a spinoff bc I loved Rich and Black

Great Read... Great Love Story
Really loved this book. Great love story... I loved Xander and Tomi together. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. Loved the storyline and plot, it flowed really well. They endured and sacrificed so much at the hands of Diana. I was glad that she finally admitted to them that she was wrong and asked for forgiveness. Xan and Tomi made me think of the saying, if you love them let them and if it's meant to be they'll come back. That's exactly what happened with they had a forever kind of love. Highly recommend this great read. Job well done Bianca

Read this straight through
I am convinced that Bianca is the queen of standalones. This one right here had me feeling every emotion possible. I definitely understand Tomi's point of view. In the same respect I understood where Xan was coming from. In any situation if you love something let it go. If it comes back it was meant to be if it doesn't it never was. I absolutely appreciated the fact that I could relate to some of the things that happened in this book. Bianca this was 5+ star worthy.

Bianca!!! OMG, my hair! I was pulling it. Xander made me cry, girl. Tomi is my favorite female character of yours now, second to Kam. This story pulled at my emotions, hunny. I laughed, I cried, I felt what they were going through. Love conquers all and you really could see their love in this book. They both had some growing up to do to make their marriage work and the obstacles...Lord, they had so much in their way. I loved it, B.

Talk about letting go!!!!
What’s that saying,”If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours.” This applied directly to Xan and Tomelia. Xan’s mother was very manipulating she played in her sons emotions, and Tomelia she should of communicated with her husband, man these emotions were crazy because one minute I was on her side then his the next, I cried and I laugh...

Man I loved this standalone!!! I cried, laughed and wanted to punch people but I wasn't disappointed at all!! Xan and Tomi has my emotions all over. I understood both points at all times. The love they shared was definitely one for the record books. I definitely loved Black and Rich plus the girls. Now Shea and Emersyn got what they deserved and Diana pissed me off too. I was wondering when Tomi was going to curse her out. Great job Bianca!!!

Good read
I’m not really a fan of the broken marriage type of books but leave it to Bianca to have me up all night reading because I couldn’t put it down. Xan **sigh** I swear I do not like Xan, he gave me whiplash with his emotions but the way he acts was so real! I wanted Tomi to leave and not come back. Good book but a ton of errors and a few inconsistencies which messed with the flow of the story. I’m glad that everyone got their happily ever after

Emotional rollercoaster
One of my favorite stories by you!! The story was realistic and could relatable. Xan was so loving but he was also made me so mad, but understand that the break was needed for them both to grow up and became a better person! I would love an update about xan and tomi later on! Your romance game is amazing and I just want more from them even though they already went through hurricane 5 to finally find happiness

Book worm
Bianca that was so good once I started reading I couldn't stop until I was finished. I'm so glad that Tomi and Xander found their way back to each other if his mom had stayed in her place he wouldn't have missed two years of his son's life and not lost the only girl he ever loved.

This is my first time reading a book from Bianca, but it will not be my last. I loved Tomi, she was real. I wish she would’ve told Xan she cheated on him. It broke my heart when Xan found out. I felt it. Ugh I hated Shea he should’ve died. Xan’s momma I couldn’t deal with that at all. I love the way it ended. True love always prosper.

Great
Omg, this was everything. I couldn’t put it down, I kept me wanting more. The gems that poured in this but was amazing. I guess we have to tested and if it’s destiny for you you than you’ll overcome the storm. I loved the characters in this book. The message was Powerful. Great Bianca continue to spread your knowledge and gift.

Still The One For You
A very passionate and sad story two people love each other but ppl got in the way. Shea was a snake and lair for him blackmailing Tom. But the kicker was Xan Mom it was so late for her to make up with Tom she treated her bad. But know before passing the couple got back together and his mother apologized before passing. Great love story
