The Best Part of Me
Love is always a beautiful thing when it’s shared, respected, and cherished. The moment it becomes any less than those three, your relationship and sanity are damned to hell. Don’t believe it? Just ask Paradise “Goody” Maverick. Once upon a time, she’d been the hopeless romantic type who thought she’d fall in love and stay that way forever, only to be painfully reminded that forever doesn’t always last.
High school sweethearts and the only loves they’ve ever known, Goody and Kayson Miller have lived happily, chased dreams, and established a life together. The house, the cars, the success, and anything else Goody could name, they’d grinded and gotten it together. She had just gotten to the peak of her happiness when life decided to come around and knock her down.
What happens when love is no longer enough? What do you do when you’re betrayed and left by your best friend? Who’s to blame when you have nothing left to give, not even to yourself? The idea of second chances seems utterly detestable, so when Jerrico shows up looking, smelling, and acting like a knight in shining armor, what’s a girl to do?
Do you suck it up and move on, or do you harbor rage and bitterness? Ask Goody, she knows. The heart of the heartless, hollowed and emptied by that thing called love. Fed up and against anything that involves a man and her emotions, she’s prepared to kiss Jerrico goodbye, or so she thinks… welcome to the life of a SAVAGE.
Men, remember, anything you can do… women can do better. Heads up, Queens, this one is for us!

My nerves… Goody was getting on my nerves with that attitude and slick talk. Jericho was too hot so I wanted him to keep it moving, especially after what she did with his mother. The ending I didn't care for, it's not enough for either of them to talk about and keep it together. The author could've created a better scene for them to fallout over then this one.
She could've walked out to her brother and his friends including him and the girl he cheated with in her house, something. With Jerricho's character being so laid back something like this I can't see being a problem with him. On to the next one.

Genius
Shero outdoes herself every single time! I love the dynamics of a good girl gone rogue into the arms of a man that’s doesn’t match her crazy, but can see through it enough to see what he wants. Jericho is heaven sent and Goody deserves something GREAT! Great job, Shero. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Slim goody
From the beginning Goody had me on her side then she told why she was bitter I was ready to beat her ex husband. Then that ending that is petty of Azayler to leave us like that. I'm look for me a dude like jerricho. Lord he cooks he cleans and he sings. I hope we get a little more on forever and mars. This is Azayler first hood girl turn bad and trying to get back to being a good girl. Part 2 I can't wait.

This What It's Hitting For
Yes for this one. It's definitely not hood but that doesn't even make a difference. This storyline is hitting from the beginning. The drama is there but it is real life relatable drama. I love me some Jerrico, Marcellus, and Calvary. Paradise, Forever, and Eternity are bomb asf. I love this story but that cliffhanger got me all in my feelings.

Goody absolutely drove me crazy in this entire book. I get why she was so guarded but omg, she did the most. Jerrico is bae and I hope she doesn't mess this up. I love the relationship she has with Forever and Eternity and I kinda dig all of their names. After this bombshell was dropped, I'm interested to see how this story ends.

Excellent Read
Goody definitely should have told Jerrico that she was still married to Kayson! They just can't seem to get ahead in their relationship. Wonder what the future will hold for Marcellus and Forever? Can't wait to read part two.

The Best Part of Me
This was a good and different kind of story and I really enjoyed it.Jerrico needs to give Keyshon a good beat down and I’m glad Goody opened up.

A must read
Ready for part two, bc I have read another one of the author books I knew the ending was going to be a bang. Goody had her own secrets in the closet.
