Ava had given up on her dreams of the perfect love and settled for the wrong love with her longtime boyfriend, Lameer. During their six-year relationship, she had endured cheating, outside children, and even physical abuse, yet she stayed, hoping that he would change. When Lameer pushes Ava too far, she finally leaves, but Lameer is not willing to lose her. How far will he go to keep her from finding happiness with someone else?
Benzo doesn't know how to love. He has no idea how it feels to really love a woman, and he's okay with that. Although he has two current long-term relationships, neither woman has managed to capture his heart. When business leads him to the beautiful but broken Ava, she captivates him in ways he never thought possible. Benzo is determined to have Ava in his life, but with her baggage and his, is love even a possibility?
Ava soon learns that dedication to a dope a boy comes at a high cost. When her life and freedom are on the line, will Ava stay down for her man or save herself?
Enjoyed this standalone from beginning to end. Full of drama, action, lies, secrets, cheating and betrayal. In the beginning Ava made me so mad and got on my nerves, so glad when she wised up. Really loved Ava and Benzo together and the way their relationship blossomed. I didn't like Tia and I feel she was shady and it was more to her and her actions. Mia was so confused and hated what happened to Bo..... Murk was a good look for her. So glad that Lameer eventually got exactly what he deserved. Highly recommend this standalone. Job well done Ebony Diamonds. #839
Man, where to begin. In the beginning Ava was making me sooooo mad...like giiirrrrrrlllaaa , if you don’t leave Lameer alone already 🤦🏾♀️ Actually everyone but Benzo got on my nerves in the beginning. Pooh was a flipping hot mess, I’m glad she got her 💩together eventually🤦🏾♀️ I’m glad that Ava and Benzo got together ♥️ I’m also glad that Mia moved on because Bo didn’t know what he wanted. Didn’t like Lameer one bit. I thought I had it all figured out then Boom,my mouth was hanging open at the end🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lameer was a hot mess. I don't know how Ava put up with his foolishness for so long. No should have been stepped up instead of letting Ava flu go through the motions so long. If it wasn't floor the fact that Benzo was involved I dingy think he would have dinner a thing which is sad. Karma came back for him though. Once you pull that trigger gotta make sure three job is done or suffer the consequences. Benzo should have dropped his weak ex a long time ago with her stealing and hiding babies immature behind. She was just trifling. Glad that Benz and Ava made it through and found happiness. Great read.
I enjoyed this read even though I wish it was a little longer and more detailed but it was still a good book. It's crazy to me how Lameer was behind all this craziness and it started because he was the one stealing packages in the first place. It's sad how Bo went out just when you thought him and Mia were about to get it together. So now that got me thinking what it's going to be with Mia and Murk. I guess I should wait and see if it's going to be a spinoff. Good read Ebony
Wow... this book was sooo good. Lameer did Ava so dirty and treating her so bad. I figured her and Benzo would eventually get together. Mia and Bo had this complicated relationship. I truly believe he really did love her. I hope she got her second chance and her Murk can start over. Lameer got exactly what he deserved in the end. I definitely recommend reading this stand alone.
I dont understand how some women can be so naive when it comes to a man and that is exactly what Ava was until she wished up about Lameer. As for Lameer you camt love someone and do what you did. I liked Benzo he was who he was. Bo you never realize what you had until it's gone that's what happened with Mia. Mia met Murk and he treated her how she was supposed to be treated then she went back to Bo . But that's what happens when you are dedicated to a dopeboy.
I definitely didn’t see that ending coming. Lameer was a whole rat. Ava was starting to get on my nerves how she was handling Benzo, but let Lameer get away with murder. Murk was a stand up guy, yet Mia did him dirty with Bo. I think the stupidest award goes to her. I really wanted to see where their relationship went. I still have a lot of unanswered questions so I’m hoping a spin-off is in the works!!
Omg this standalone is lit. My girls Ava and Mia went through a lot of stuff to come out on top. Ava ex was a hold harded snake who got what he deserved at the end. Ava was good on her thing to hide her man money so they wouldn’t be broke. Ava cousin didn’t have to go out like that cause he was looking out for her but he didn’t make sure he got the job done and he would’ve still been there. U did good on yet another book and I can’t wait to read more of ur books
For some reason I thought it was Tia, but the culprit surprised me. Lameer was a sucker for what he did to Ava and when she finally decided to move on he pulled a bitch move. Benzo the way he changed his ways to be with Ava and the way she held him down showed they were meant for each other . Mia at times I wanted to slap her, Bo couldn’t do right to save himself and I like her with Murk...
I was so glad when Ava got a back bone. Lameer did not deserve her. She took way too much mess from his disrespectful tail. I need a Benzo in my life.. He was something else also but at least I can say he was honest. Mia man I don't know. I know it's so hard when you love someone but Murk was a good dude.. Thank Goodness for second chances. Love that this was a standalone and it ended perfect.
Very good read! I like how shthis dope boy read put a twist on the characters. Ava was with a dope boy but she had her own good job. She knew he wasn't Shi* and stayed until she had enough. Benzo was just smooth from beginning to end , he didn't play games with her or the chicks he dealt with. Lameer was poor scum but that plot was well played never saw it coming. They did Bo dirty and Mia and Murk will always have issues. Karma showed up for Lameer.
Ava finally found happiness with Benzo! Who would have thought delivering mail would make a love connection. I believe Tia is a snake I don't trust her. Bo I think he is a better fit for Mia. I don't trust Murk. I didn't expect that to happen to Bo. Lamer was a real snake I knew he was up to no good. Murk redeemed himself#839
Ebony can do no wrong! This is her best work to date! I’m s huge fan and ive read every book she’s released! Her growth is evident and these characters had me stuck! Ava was true to the game! She was a ridah! I can’t wait for Murk’s spin-off! There was sooo much that took place in this book and I’m happy I read it! I will be recommending this to everyone!
Great read Benzo, Mia,Ava, Mayhem, Lies, Betrayal, hate
Lameer was abusive to Ava he beat her for no reason he wanted to control her and break her spirit. OMG what games people play survival for the fittest. Ava meets and falls for Benzo they go thru many obstacles to be together. Mia in love with two men Bo and Murk.
Yes I def loved it. So many lies and betrayal. Lameer was a bitter mf and got exactly what he deserved. I know Mia loved bo but I still feel like murk was the better choice. Ava was most def ride or die. I loved her and Benson together. A must read story.
Lameer was a true definition of a Fuc Boy. He had a rider in Ava then got pissed cause he lost her. Benzo had flaws but when he found the right one he fixed them. I so hurt about Bo. Mia and Murk was meant to be. Can we get a spinoff about Eddie?
🔥 this book was great, i had to finish it, i couldn’t just close out. Benzo is bae and that nigga murk definitely earned his name. I glad they got lameer punk ass!!! Man i wish it was a sequel
When I say Dedicated to A Dope Boy is a banger, I mean that in every since of the word. The drama, sex scenes, the secrets and the gunplay in this read it all bangs. One click for this banging 5 star standalone!
I can't believe how good that story was wow. I was so surprised that Lameer was still alive I was not expecting that ish. Omg.. Great story and I'm happy Ava and Benzo got their happy ending🤗🤗🤗
What a read. Ebony put out this bomb standalone and it was a page turner. No question went unanswered by the end of the book. Benzo was everything.....I mean book bae for real. Five star read for sure.
Lameer was a lame the whole book and never took rest for his part in anything. Love Benzo and Murk, I kinda mad Murk didn't have a baby with Mia. Ava was there every step of the way for her man and I love it!
I really enjoyed this story. It wasn’t to over the top but had enough drama. Lameer was a mess and selfish. Loved how Bo matured but didn’t live to see the end result. Murk was that deal and Benzo too 😍 Glad Ava got her happy ending with Benzo. Good Job!
Loved it wish it was more. I hate Bo had to die but that's part of the game I guess. Benzo I loved him n Ava together hate that went jail for buckshot but it all worked great book
Way too much was going on this book i really use to like your booms now i just read for support starting be boring and just a ite read to long for nothing
I knew Lameer ass wasn't dead the minute they mentioned his funeral was closed casket. I hated that Bo was killed but, I wanted Mia to be with Murk anyway. I loved that Ava and Benso were together and how muggings loved her daughter even though she wasn't his.
Loved it! Very well written kept me engaged the whole book. Benzo was the man he was just what Ava needed. Mia was confused but she and Murk belong together.
