Peace no longer resides in Normani's existence, and as she stares down the barrel of Preaux’s gun, she has to wonder if her destiny isn't to be happy, but to pay for her wrongdoings with her life. When her meeting with fate is cancelled, Normani is forced to reevaluate the damage she has done to not only her family, but her grandparents as well. Revelations and family secrets have overrun the Pope family, destroying their already faulty bonds. Their loyalty has been tainted, and it is up to Normani to repair their trust, however such a feat seems impossible. Her grandparents’ marriage is holding on by a vow, Nicole struggles with learning how to love and let go, and Normani has her own issues to deal with regarding her budding relationship with Urban. What was the promise of one night has blossomed into a full blown affair, one that Normani navigates with optimism until the reality of their situation sets in. Urban has a family, a longtime fiancée and daughter to consider. These obstacles force Normani to guard her heart, and when a certain someone enters the picture with the promises of no drama, she has to decide if her feelings for Urban are strong enough, or will she end up being adored by someone else?
As Normani works to mend her family, Urban discovers that his once tight knit unit is falling apart at the seams. With the Veracruz Cartel still seeking answers to the slaying of Gabriel Garza, Urban knows it is only a matter of time before his family is targeted for the cartel’s version of retributive justice. The eye-for-an-eye they have their sights set on would be Kelsey, who is not only dealing with growing pains, but discovering the world she lives in isn't black and white, but various shades of gray that come with the Mackenzie name. The arrangement he has with Shahily no longer holds the same appeal as it did before. Forced to maneuver around his present while spending time with his future, Urban feels as if he's struck a balance when Normani reminds him their relationship can't be at his convenience, that unlike Shahily, she has her entire life ahead of her. Time isn't on his side, and he has to risk the comfort of his current life for the reward of true love. The problem is that Shahily isn't letting go without a fight.
With Ángel Garza out of the picture, Trish can finally let go of the pain and hurt monopolizing her life. At the very close of their relationship, a new one filled with promise is created when she meets Winston O’Neal, a wealthy lawyer with only eyes for her. He’s everything she deserves after being terrorized by Ángel, and it feels good to be in a relationship with someone who has no ties to the game, except there’s one handsome Koi Mackenzie. Trish can’t deny her feelings for Koi, but she feels more like a project than a potential girlfriend. Koi has saved her from herself more times than she can count, and it feels more like he’s trying to save himself from past hurt. But when Camila Garza approaches Trish with a warning to the deadly events to come, Trish may have to put her trust in a Mackenzie once again.
And the plot thickens. So we find out whose Nicole baby father is, i knew she suffered some trauma. I hate Malone low life dirty dog. Urban was foul but he still bae. Pam is a mess. Umm i want to take a belt to Kelsey behind.
I hope Trish realizes which man is really for her and not trying to hurt her again. Malone is malicious and only out to save himself while hurting others. I love normandi.
Ok so absolutely hate tya I can't wait for the book when you have read as many books as I have things become predictable not tya. She is amazing and has quickly become my favorite author this book was amazing. I read it in one sitting all the twist and turns my head is till spinning. Malone is a fucking monster and I need Urban to kill him asap. You can never truly know a person its so many snakes in this book got me looking at everyone side ways . Please hurry with book 3 I don't know how I'm going go sleep until I find out what happens
after reading part 1 that cliffhanger was enough for me to keep reading... Part 2 did not disappoint. The parent knowledge of Normani WOW... I hope that Trish gets some help on her self worth issues.. The grandmother Pam, wow she is a piece of work, she has been turned about by a savage... LOL. Shalily did not deserve this, but she is going to drag Urban, thru some garbage because she is hurt. Koi get Trish.... Part 3 is going to reveal a bunch of things... Looking forward to it... GREAT JOB TYA MARIE
Tya never ceases to amaze me. You just get better and better...I absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend this as a must read series...just when I thought I had stuff figured out bam another twist or turn. This book was great from page 1 and flowed from page to page. I really want Normani and Urban to be together. I strongly dislike Shahily...so many bombs were dropped in this book they made my pressure go up....I can’t wait to read part 3...Great job Tya...
This series gets better and better and I loved it. Had so many twist and turns that kept me wondering what's happening next. Enjoyed this book from beginning to end and I couldn't put it down. Flowed really well at a steady pace. So like Normani and Urban together and want them to get it right. Don't like Shahily at all. Can't wait for the next installment, to see how it all unfolds. Highly recommend this series. Job well done Tya Marie.
I had to jump right out there.... Bull is working with Malone OMG The drama just out from the gate. I couldn't stand Nicole in book 1, but now I'm soften up to her. I had to close my book when I read what happened to her. I hope Normani pulls thru and I think Shahily is plum nuts...can't wait for part 3
Wow...definitely not what I was expecting. The snakes are EVERYWHERE! Not much to say but you will definitely love reading this series. I could not put this book down.... and that ending.....Jesus Christ! I really hope that Urban and Koi are smarter than I think. Great job...looking forward to part three!
Wow....Im speechless!!! The snakes are EVERYWHERE! Malone is a hating disloyal snake in the grass. I can't wait for Urban and Koi to take him down... Please let Urban already be three steps ahead of Malone. I hope Shahily get left with nothing in the end. Awesome book... Can't wait for part 3.
This was really good!!! I knew Malone was a snake...taking Shaihily like that...beyond foul...felt sorry for her. The Shaihily and Shayla scene, I KNEW IT was her!!!! I was shocked by the pregnancy!!!! Hopefully Urbana daughter becomes smart and figured out she is a pawn. This was a really good part 2! I need part 3 like today lol
Ohhwwweeee how did I miss bull being down with Malone, and the lil boy, Malone put him on his niec, that's crazy but i knew he was sick when he rapped shahilly, and i can believe her dang sister fired that shot, the streets bout to get turned up one book 3
Tya I know you lying....I am Apollo over the place with this installment!!!The snakes in Urban's camp are bigger than anacondas geesh!!! I just praying that Urban is seeing everything and waiting to unleash their beast!! Hurry with part 3!!
Malone,bull I don't expect nothing less from them grimey dudes. When urban find out malone hurt his ex there is going to be hell to pay,nicole going to hunt shahiley and her sister down. All hers are off. Great job
This book was everything. The secret that came out I didn't not see coming. The ending was crazy and curious to see how everything plays out. I'm definitely reading part 3.
There are some any secrets everyone has skeletons crawling out the closets. So any snakes,snitches,evil people going. Ain’t no body who they say they are damn. Everyone world’s about to take a turn for the worse 😣😣😣
Malone is a snake, I can not wait for urban to find out! I hope it’s sooner than later! Shayla needs to tell them this is Malone’s baby smh I’m sick of her!
This is a great series. There's a lot going on in this part. It did seem that Urban was stringing Normani along. I can't believe Nicole can't see through Malone.
