Yes!

What a great novella about a young couple that struggled to know each other's worth in their relationship. When your young it is very hard to stay on the straight and narrow path when your not as knowledgeable as you think you are, but life and experience is a great teacher. I'm glad Madison and Corey over came the negative situations, by talking things out, handling situations that surfaced together, while remaining true to each other. It also helps when you have both of your parents in your life, surrounding you with love and becoming that example of what love and relationships can be, going through and to find your purpose in each other and in family. Awesome Read! ReneeG 👍

See it always takes for you to come close to losing the one you really love for folks to get it right. Loved the story of Madison and Cornelius. The fact that Madison left and went on her grown mother of 2 way was great. She had her own. Ariel just could not let go, poor thing cuz she was ignorant and stick on stupid. The way that Corey woke up and listened to what Madison wanted from him. He stepped that game up and it made him a much better man and father. Waiting on the story of big bro jermaine and Sierra. Friends can be lovers. Great job Ms. Kevin's

Now that’s one way to end a book. Corey and Madison came a long way. Their love wasn’t supposed to happen but it did. Like every couple they had their share of problems, but they dealt with them. Once they put their cards on the table, it was smooth sailing. Congratulations Mrs. Lopez

Good Read

I enjoyed reading this book! I was glad that Corey and Madison were able to get their relationship together. Those two definitely loved each other very much. The only problem was jealous females. Ariel needed more then that beat down she ended up receiving. She did entirely too much. Over all though this was a good novella.

Great Read

Great way to end this novella. So glad that Cory and Madison got it together, cause they really loved each other. They had their fair share of ups and downs, but once they layed everything out and talked, they were better than ever. So glad that got their happy ending. Job well done Kevina Hopkins.

Good book

Ariel just couldn't take the hint. He doesn't want you. I loved Corey and Madison in this book. They went through alot but love prevailed. They have a beautiful family and is full of love. I hope maybe Jeremiah and Sierra work on something. I love young black live. Good job

Great Holiday Story

I fell in love with this one. This couple had been through the motions, had two kids together and everything. I love how it showed that women are not always the more mature of the two. Corey knew what he wanted but Madison had to get it together. Definitely a great holiday read.

I enjoy this short story

I like how two people who have been together for 7 years had their ups and downs decided that enough is enough it’s time to put their differences to the side and become a family especially for their kids. I like how Madison let Cornelius know if they are going to be together they must trust each other and communicate with each other.

Corey and Madison

This was a good read. Madison had been in love with Corey since she was thirteen. After seven years and two kids she still loved him even if they had a few bumps in the road. After their last break up they put everything on the table and vowed to make it work or let it go for good. Glad for the Mr. and his Mrs.💙💙

Satisfied Reader

I'm glad that Corey and Madison worked things out. Ariel was just bitter and couldn't handle rejection. But she found out that Madison was the wrong one to mess with. Ariel and Pierre should work it out

Good

Corey and Madison are like so many couples. In love with each other but stringing others along and playing with their emotions because they can’t have what they want. Glad they decided to get it together.

Glad Corey and Madison got it together in the end . They needed that sit down and put all their problems out before they jumped back in the relationship. I wondered if Sierra and jermaine will get a story

Ok

It was a nice novella overall . I wasn’t really connected but it was ok . They finally get their shit together especially Maddie . She was acting a bit childish and immature at some point .
