He was wrong, but…
Asia wasn’t perfect either. Her spoiled attitude and nonchalant behavior toward a lot of things did not go unnoticed. He cheated. Yes, she did the right thing by leaving. But she was far from perfect. It was like they both didn’t know what it took to make a marriage work, sadly. Yet… I wanna see them together. My goodness!

Chile..... This was so good but Dinero made me so mad. He did so much wrong I don’t know if they can or will come back from this. Asia should’ve been honest about Sheek’s intentionally but you don’t get your wife back like that. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in part two.

Great book with plenty of engaging characters. The book took you through the tumultuous relationship between Asia and Dinero as the experience they highs and lows of young love. It was good to see how the author blends her characters from other stories (Big & Aimee / Keece & Paris). It was a refreshing read with just enough drama to keep you interested but not so much that it seemed "overdone". Already reading book 2 and can't wait to see how it all comes together.

WOW...WHAT A SUMMER
This book had my attention from beginning to end. Very well written storyline and the characters were great. I really like Dinero and Asia especially the way they joked around with each other. Dinero's problem is his temper and how easy he is to react without knowing the facts and that's exactly what caused the problems between him and Asia. I loved Rochelle and how she doesn't takes sides. Cadence knew she wasn't built for being grimy but she learned the hard way. Sheek had to go. Is this truly the end for Dinero and Asia? I hope not. Anxious for what's to come in the rest of this series.

Me or Her?
Yess Asia and Deniro is married y’all, lol and they are going to give it a try. In the meantime the snakes are slithering as Asia starts photographing for a big company the President Sheek has some ore on his mind. Cadence Deniro ex from over 10yrs ago seems to be fixated with her ex. The boys try to warn Deniro but he believes he can handle the situation. A few lies thrown here and there and now Divorce is coming head on! Aimee and Big get their baby boy and the crew is moving along. Damn can Deniro and Asia get it together? The summer of 16 is hell and Asia cannot forget it. I just wonder can Deniro forget her? Part 2

Wow
I swear mean always make the wrong decision when the assume they girl did the unthinkable. Dinero should have believed Asia as much as she loved him he should have known she wouldn't ever disrespect him. I don't think men understand how much a women doesn't like being hurt or disrespected. We just want to be able to feel loved and wanted. I hope they work out something.

Love it
I love the story line. Dinero was hard on the outside but Asia brought out a different side of him. I knew he wasn’t strong enough to resist temptation. This his a highly recommended read.

Dinero is hilarious! He made a huge mistake taking another man’s word over his wife’s and now he’s in living hell!! Even though he messed up big time , I hope him and Asia find their way back to each other!

Wow!!
Dinero n Asia is so funny. The fact that she joke around just like him and barely pay him any mind is so funny it’s like she’s use to it, if thought they haven’t been together that long. But I wish he gets his self together 🤦🏾♀️

When I tell you you are in for a treat with Dinero and Asia please believe me. None of the DeMao men have carried their woman on a journey like the one Asia experienced. Dinero and Asia are in awkward situation from the beginning one that Dinero didn't think he could have, but with the fear of losing he gives it a shot. The couple's mouths are forever reckless but that's how they sync. Time is passing and things are looking smooth, a little too smooth. So here comes not 1 but 2 new characters and that's when everything goes left. Look this story is going to make you laugh, yell and emotional. Don't get twisted Dinero can be sweetheart but at the thought of "knowing" he was done dirty all hell breaks loose and he goes missing. That bombshell alone cause an atomic bomb on his relationship with Asia. The ole shiesty skeleton from the closet didn't make matters any better, like you really that dumb...lol. In this storyline you see there is a time and a season for everything and from the looks of it this Summer turned into a Cold one.

Summer of 16: Dinero's Dilemma
This is my first read by Charae and even though I may have read her books out of order I still enjoyed it. Dinero was something else with his ignorant ass. I liked Asia and although her status with Dinero was unexpected she still held it down. Their relationship was crazy but they seemed to compliment each other. Cadence should've stayed where she was and not allowed her mom or aunt to boost her head up. She was irritating but Dinero gave her all the ammunition she needed to complicate what he had going on with Asia. Sheek pulled a bitch move and deserved everything he got. Dinero experienced a constant dilemma and didn't deserve Asia because instead of shutting down he should've been listening to his girl without giving up so easily. Hopefully this isn't the end because it would be good if Asia and Dinero can get back to how they once were before they experienced a rough patch.

Talk about a dilemma
Talk about a dilemma!! Dinero & Asia, I'm not sure if I would them together or not. Dinero has some growing up to do, he totally lacks communication skills & keeping his hands to himself. The follow up will be interesting! Asia really tried to give him her all. I love her bond with all the ladies! Rochelle still my girl telling it like it is! Hopefully Dom meets Asia in the follow up. Candace got what she deserved, the pursuit of a knowingly taken man girl it was always gonna end wrong how jealous Dinero & Asia are over each other. They need a break because too much hurt has been done esp to Asia.

Man Oo man
Charae plays games all day. With intense action, roller coaster love, shady ex girlfriend, and loving family this Installment of the DaMao brothers is my favorite. ASIA AND DINERO are meant for each other in a crazy way. Absolutely Dinero me see up but damn I think can make it right. Asia can get him right by no means make it easy but nah don't end it all. Plus make up sex is the best so Yeah Rude Boy planted a set of twins up in Asia. Sheek got what was promised Cadance is lucky she didn't catch the same fate. I can't wait for Part 2 because in know It will be more Drama to unfold with Sue Young and Rude Boy. Awesome Job

Wow
Why Dinero? Why? I wanted to like him. The foolishness that came out him mouth was hilarious. I lol sever time. However, I just didn't understand the whole Cadence thing. Everybody (not including Keith) told Dinero to leave Cadence alone, but he still messed with her. His decision to keeping messing with that girl was real disrespect ful. And Sheek. That situation was real random. I guess someone had to be murdered. I hope Asia divorces him for real. then she falls in love and marries another man. Dinero goes to prison for murdering Sheek. Lol Yep I'm real upset with that Negro. And since i like my ending better, if there is a part two I may have to pass.

Omg
Where do I start this book was so damn good I didn't put it down. I read it in 2hrs and cried when it was over. Charae you brought straight heat. Just when I thought your books couldn't get better I am hit with this. Dinero is such a hot head and lightweight rude but that is also what makes me love him. Asia or should I say Su Young is the balance needed in his life. I hate how outsiders were able to come between them but I am also praying that their love for one another is strong enough to stand. I am anxiously waiting on the next installment. Charae YOU DID THAT!!!!

LOVED this book! Dinero and Asia do the cliche thing in Vegas and get married on a drunk night....when Dinero sobers up he realized he didn't want to be married but he didn't want to lose Asia either so they give it a try. Marriage is not as easy as Dinero thought as he fights all kind of temptation but the biggest temptation comes in the form of an ex, Cadence, that has come back after a 10 year disappearance. Dinero tries not to cheat...and Asia is dealing with temptation of her own. I can't give away the plot but this book is GOOD!!!!!!! 5 star for real!

I've grown to love these characters as I've known them personally. Dinero still has a lot of growing up to do. He had a good woman by his side. Asia truly loves Dinero with his reckless mouth. He don't care what comes out. And who gets hurt from his tongue lashing. But I love his character but not his ways. He needs a reality check. I knew Cadence was up to no good popping back up and listening to her money hungry mother. This can't be the end. I need more. Great Job

I mean it wasn't my thing
From the beginning I didn't like the story. I just don't like the thought of someone drunkingly just ups and get married in Vegas. He didn't even want to be married but wanted her so I wasn't hoping it failed. I skipped through damn near the whole book because I found it boring and found no good action. He was a real douch tho. Like I didn't like his attitude and was it that serious to off somebody because they lied about fucking somebody? Like Idk I just hate how he did Can dance cuz he bring that on himself and i hated this story period.

This is my kind of story, where nothing is perfect, emotions are high and the story is intense, hilarious and unpredictable. I love the storyline. The characters are well developed. Dinero and Asia have intense passions. From loving to fighting lol!!!! I'm waiting for the conclusion to this story. Will they get it together? Will Dinero fight for his woman? Will Asia forgive? Or will pride keep them apart? Throw Asia sister in the mix and you can't stop laughing....
