What Bae Won't Do: "The Next Man Will"
What happens when the boy next door doesn’t want to be your homeboy anymore? That’s the question twenty-five-year-old JaNair Livingston has to ask herself when the sexy and charming Semaj Edwards wants to become more than just her neighbor. Any woman in her right mind would be attracted to the tall, dark, talented, and sexy Mr. Edwards. So what was JaNair’s problem?
Jerome Hayes, JaNair’s newest love and current boyfriend, has been sweeping her off of her feet since the day they met. Already feeling that JaNair is the one for him, Jerome plans to do any and everything to keep her in his life, even if it means keeping secrets and lying to the woman he loves. When truths are exposed and lies are revealed, will the shoulder Semaj lends for tears turn into the shoulder JaNair bites into when he shows her pleasures she’s never known?
JaNair tries to maintain a relationship with Jerome while her feelings for Semaj seem to keep growing stronger. At the same time, her trifling and crazy cousin Mya is up to her old tricks, trying to make Jerome her man. Will she finally succeed in getting the man who doesn’t want her, or will all that lying, backstabbing, and blackmailing pay off?
Get wrapped up in the drama with author Genesis Woods and find out what the next man is willing to do when your bae won’t.

Felt like a reality show but kept me so entertained. Who needs friends or family members when Mya and Lala are present. I just need JaNair to wake up and see Semaj is what she needs. Fave knows how to entertain her readers.

This was a drama filled mess. And I was there for every word. I'm glad I don't have these kinds of friends or family.
I'm not sure what the 1 star reviewers were looking for but this was a well written story filed with a buncha mess. Yes the characters are trifling, immature and untrustworthy. I'm sorry it took so long for some secrets to come out. And this author had me angry like I was a part of the story.

Everything that glitters ain't gold
Here I was thinking Mya was low down and it's La La who is more trifling than her! Great book and proof that you can't trust anybody including your best friend. I hope JaNair finds out the truth which I'm sure she will. Can't wait to see how this all unfolds!

Oh what a tangled web...
We weave when we lie and deceive. I don't know who's worst between Mya and La la them they have the nerve to sit in judgement of one another. If you're looking for a good read this is definitely it. I'm on to the next one.

Full of drama BUT good!
You never would imagine how many trifling people could be in your life. I mean the closest people to you. Jealousy plays a big role in this book. I wish JaNair common sense would come into play.

I hated when this ended
I have never seen so many back stabbing folks in one book before. Nothing was and nobody was Off limited. Mya had no kind of respect for herself. She was a slut. Ja'Nair and Semaj would make a good couple. This book was very enjoyable and have you wondering what will happen next. Cannot wait until part 2.

Great book, but first a little confused with who was who ,then jumping around with characters little bit much ,but flip size it's ok .
I would recommend others from Goodreads to look into reading the also. Makes a girl wonders what's going on with your closes friends and diggers just aren't right the men's good.

Interesting but very short
I can tell that book two is gonna b filled with so much drama! Overall book one was cool but needed more action. I can't wait til all the secrets are revealed.

I love this series! I sometimes don't click with Urban Fiction because sometimes the stories go overboard and become too much! But Genesis finds the perfect balance every time and I always enjoy her writing!! "What bae Wont Do" is no different!!!

This book was everything
I love how u brought the characters to life n how u touched on certain topics in this book. I would love to see how they moved on after this but it feels like a standalone novel. You did your thing keep them coming.
