Shampain was what you would call a bad bish. But, beyond the perfect outside laid a damaged heart and reckless soul. A life filled with murder, pain, and secrets made Shampain the woman she was today. If a man wasn’t furthering her gold digging career, then she had no use for him. At least, until she met Savage. He became the one she wants, just because, but will her past allow her a chance with her future? Savage was all about hustling until his bank accounts couldn’t hold anymore. He was ruthless in the streets and, when it came to his money, nothing else mattered. Savage had never come across a woman who didn’t want to be saved by him, loved by him, until he met Shampain. She had a name in the streets, but he still wanted her. But, would the guilt he carried from his past allow his brother to ruin it all?
Aside from being an author with the highly revered publishing company Cole Hart Signature Novels, Tina Marie whose real name is Tina Marie Turner is a mother of two, a Seventeen-year-old daughter and a Five-year-old son all while climbing the professional ranks with 5LINX Enterprises, where she supports the companies' top earners. When asked what she would tell her readers in reference to them following their own dreams, she said, "When following your dreams, realize from the start it will be a difficult journey. Dreams are built over time with hard work, persistence, sweat and many tears."
Yes Tina, you did the darn thing with this book. It was great from beginning to end. This story flowed from page to page...this is most definitely a must read. I really love Shampaine and Savage together. I’m glad he saw past her faults and accepted her. I really wish this was longer. That ending blew my mind...Great job...I love all the stories but I think this is now my favorite....
I loved savage aint nothing like a rude thug. Sha had a lot going on with her. I am glad that they got what they needed in the end. Storyline was CRAZY
Everything happened so fast I felt like needed some more What happened to her baby daddy I thought he was dead then he popped back up then it was like he was gone again I was confused 🤔
Rena was I true friend to Shampaine But Savage 😉 good for her I'm glad she gave up that life.. But the end was rushed did he kill his other brother seems like all the guys she messed with in the past were unstable one she said was Predator Pedophile so I'm trying to figure out why did she kept messing with him make that make sense for money
I felt like Savage and her needed a little bit more I don't really see a connection But I can see Shampaine has a great relationship with his nephew and now she's a daughter... I was disappointed 😞 with this one and I'm fan Tina Marie this just didn't do it for me like her others books
Shampaine did what she felt she had to in order to take care of her son. She was not the type of mother who would allow her son to go without. It’s sad that his father had his moments. It seemed like he didn’t care at times. Instead he would rather put him and Shampaine in a position that could have been all bad for both of them. Savage was something else. I seen where he was coming from when it came to his brother but at the same time sometimes you just have to throw the towel in. Him and Shampaine were good for each other. I was not expecting what was revealed.
This was a great read. I felt sorry for Shampaine. She had a hard life growing up. I like that she stepped up and did what she had to do for her and her son. I was happy when she met Savage. Savage was my dude. He was avreal man. I lijed that fact tgat he stepped up to be a father to his nephew Rah and Shampaime son Rinx. He showed her real love and that she didnt have to use her body to get what she wanted and needed. I will defiantly recommend this read to anyone. Great book.
Man I was so hoping that savage wasn’t the one that killed red but that ending! And Nate was just as bad as the others because i felt like he knew the entire! Why else would he take her over there before heading home! Nasty self! Anyways she finally let love invade her heart! I know it may of been hard to begin with but she let it in! And now she is with her future happy and loving her best life! Great job
I fell in love with Savage and Shampain. She had a rough beginning but as a mother she did what she had to do to survive. I’m glad that Savage came in and saw her though the rough parts. I was lightweight mad about his slip but they made it. Glad Charles got what he deserved but I wanted to know what happened to Natt. Rah and Rinx were adorable. Good read.
Whoever said you can’t turn a whore into a housewife obviously didn’t read this book. Shampain used what she had to get what she wanted. After all she went through, I don’t blame her at all. She was proud of who she was because it helped her out of the rut she was in. Savage was okay, but he started thinking with the wrong head. Once he tied up loose ends and got rid of the bad rubbish, it was a go between he and Shampain. Let the past stay in the past.
Shampaine and Savage made a great couple. They balanced each other out. All Shampaine wanted was not to be broke or starve, here herself or her son. When she met Savage her whole world turned upside down, with the love she never known she didn't think she could get it from anyone other than her son. Even though the past came and showed itself they still over came the odds.
It's so funny how things come back around full circle. What can I say all things happen for a reason and sometimes for a season. In this case Cy and Sha needed each other. They needed each other because they made each other, people in their life and just simple things that concerned them better. I'm glad they saw a future together and acted on it. No judgement, but a great love story from beginning to end. Great Read! ReneeG 👍
I liked Shampaine. She did what she had to to ensure that her but mostly her son would never know what hunger felt like again. Savage was ok. I didn't like how he did her in the mall with Tiffany then after all the begging and promises he was getting slurpeed by Tiffany when she needed him most. Then what happened between him and Natt? It was still entertaining tho.💖💖
STORYLINE is BANANAS 🍌.I'm so in love with Savage..his character is stand up i love how he took the children...STAND UP ..CHARLES WAS A WASTE I FE!T SORRY FOR HIM TOO BE RAPED SHAMP....GLAD HE GOT HIS DESSERT... NAT WAS A GREAT ADDED MYSTERY...ONE OF MY FAVORITES SO FAR I LOVE THE KIDS. ..
I was feeling this story... Inhale you Future Exhale your past... shampaine had it bad growing up and the fact that savage knew what type of person she was and why she did what she was doing when he met her... I'm so happy he offed Charles because he was doing to much by ribbing that guilt trip in savage face every time he did something wrong...
I just enjoy reading stories with children. They seem to make the characters more relatable. Rinx and Rah were both adorable and their bond made this book as well the immediate attraction between Savage and Shampaine. The forgiveness between these two characters was spot on. Great writing Tina Marie you rocked on this novella.
Just had to throw that twist in there. I was feeling Savage' character, he was a good dude that didn't let the money and power to to his head. Shampain did what she had to do but knew when it was time to chill. I was hoping for that ending after Natt told her what Savage did. Outstanding job.
I applaud Shampaine. She did what she had to do in order to take care of her son. Savage was the man. He turned her whole outlook around and showed her what love was all about and to let the past be the past. It doesn't define your future. He definitely proved his love for her when he did what he did to Charles. This is a must read.
Shampaine was a go getta and she was doing what she had to do to support herself and her son. I didn't like the lifestyle she chose cuz it was very dangerous. Savage came along and changed her game. Charles was indeed pushing his buttons thinking of the past. He thought he can just about do anything and not suffer the repercussions. I needed more
This book was okay. It didn't have a lot of depth to it. I don't know, maybe I'm supposed to read the m all to get the full effect. This is the first one that I've read. I did like the love and devotion that Shampaine had for the children, she is the ideal momma bear. I like the way Savage took on the role of father to his nephew and to Shampaine's son.
I havent read a book by this author in a while, im glad this was my first book reintroducing this author to me. This book was so good it could have been turned into a two/three part series. Savage was Bae. Poor Shampaine endured so much trauma at a young age. This goes to to show you dont judge a book by its cover.
Tina Marie is gonna make me a hoe! I love all the dudes she writes about. Savage is EVERYTHING!! Daddy gives not a damn and goes after what he wants. Sampson is a troubled young lady but still I can see a sweetheart in her. Their love story was hood and beautiful art the same time
This story was quick, and full of love in my opinion, I liked how Savage fell for Shampaine before he knew it. Shampaine also didn't want to feel for any man, that's why it has her scared to call for Savage,but even when he messed up he loved Shampaine. I thought it was a great love story. Good Job Tina Marie
Loved this story. Savage is a real men he didn't care about Shampaines past.He wanted her as soon as he saw her and he knew all about her what she was out here doing.Great read
I loved this book! Shampain didn’t know she had met her match when Savage strolled into her life. Despite her past, he loved her unconditionally. This book was good from the beginning. I wanted more of them.
Whatever happened to Natt? Savage had some weird a$$ brother's . Shampaine had a rough up bringing. Rena was a wonderful person. She really was a bestfriend to Shampaine. I wonder if a book is in the works for Rena and Maffa?
This was another page turner from beginning to end!! Savage and Shampaine ( love her name) were the perfect couple once they got themselves together!! This is a must read!! The ending was everything
This was a great book I was shocked that Nate was savage brother to that was a surprise dang she went through a lot and Charles nasty for just taking her goodies I enjoyed the story
I am so happy that Shampaine can finally get some peace in her life. She deserves Savage's love. It was truly a good story Tina Marie but I knew you would have delivered something great anyway.
I Love, LOVE!!!! This story was good!!! I enjoyed watching the change between Shampaine and Savage... They saying that love conquers all, is definitely true in this Novella...
Shampaine lived one hell of a life. But as a mother she did what she thought necessary to keep food & a roof for her & her son. Savage saw something in her that she didn't see in herself and it scared her. My only question is what happened to Natt?
Omg Shampine couldn't catch a break I'm glad her an Savage worked out it was touch an go at first... that's crazy Nate was Savage brother I wonder did he kill him I hope so he was lunay.
