Can’t Trust Them Thugs
Sapphire Bivins had the life she’s always wanted. Two kids, a fiancé, a house, and the dream of living happily ever after. That’s until someone brutally murders her fiancé and leaves her and the kids in pain. They lose everything and end up living in the worst area possible. With no help and bills due, she’s willing to sell her soul to the devil in order to make ends meet. Just when it seems like things are looking up for her and the kids, someone shows up and snatches their happiness away.
Juels and Rachel are living their best lives. They’ve been together for years, but in that time, they too had to overcome difficult times. On a break from one another, Juels found himself with a woman named Shae, who can’t let go and tries to wreak havoc in their relationship. It doesn’t work until Shae opens Juels eyes to what his perfect Rachel has done. But not before confessing something to Rachel that he tried to keep between them as well.
Louis, also known as Croc, is ready to marry his woman Teesha. She’s the type of woman he’d imagined to spend the rest of his life with. However, the two of them are both hiding things from one another. But what happens when one of their secrets is so bad it tears them apart? Will the two of them decide it’s best to separate, or will they work through it?

Unbelievable
Let’s start off with all the scenes that make no sense. They are in the kitchen about to have sex/dinner and she pulls peroxide and cotton balls from where??? The police let her physically assault someone in there presence??? MOST importantly this woman stops her from getting a job at McDonald’s??? Please stop! Then let’s discuss the imagery... THERE IS NONE!!! There is no descriptions throughout the entire story. I don’t even know what these people look like && now you want me to read part 2, CANT!

Great start!!
It’s Teesha I know it is!!!! Poor Sapphire, I knew her mother in law was evil, but she definitely takes the cake. I’m hoping Croc can be the man she needs and save her. I can’t stand Shae’s desperate messy behind.

EVERYBODY GOT SECRETS!!!!!!!!!
I love this Author. Everything she writes is executed very well and have you intrigued from the beginning. It seems everybody had some type of secrets that they were hiding. Shae and her mother was trifling and messy. They made Sapphire and her children lives a living hell. Sapphire was dealt a bad hand when the father of her children was murdered. His mother and sister was going to the extreme to make sure she didn't have anything. Sapphire mother inlaw is holding something over her head and it is serious. Shae jealousy of Sapphire and Rachel is showing. Jules and Rachel are hiding secrets from each other and Shae don't mind telling. Teesha is scandalous as hell. I don't know what Croc saw in her shady ass but he better be careful because she's up to something. This ended as a jaw dropping cliffhanger. I can't wait for part two.

Bomb.com loved it
😯😯😯😯 this story got so many twist and turns you really don't know what's coming next. Sapphire is the real MVP for what she's been through and what she's about to go through. And if those are not her birth kids but she still took care of them like she was she's an ALL STAR in my book. That damn Shae, Abe, and Teesha gets on my nerves but I think Teesha is them twins momma and if so she trifling. I hope Juels not the daddy of Shae daughter because if so the drama will continue. I would love to know what Abe and Rachel had going on if anything. All I have to say is OFF WITH GRANDMA HEAD because she makes me sickkkkkkkkkk. I know part 2 finna be so LIT and can't wait to read it.

Just Wow!!!!
So many lies and secrets I just cannot .....The wicked witch of the west and all her evil minions are terrible. They definitely gotta get theirs. I love the freaking kids. They remind me of kids I know. I laughed at them the whole time. That whole no filter thing they got going on... I love it. This storyline definitely has my interest piqued.

A MUST READ
All I can say is Tina you're an amazing writer, you get better and better with each series. I love Croc and Sapphire together. I can't stand Mrs. Simmons, Teesha, Shae and Abe, I can't wait for them to get exactly what they deserve. My mouth is still wide open at that ending, I can't wait to see what happens next. Amazing job Tina J.

Good but confusing
Ok the story was very interesting and I knew there was more going on with Sapphire for the grandmother to act like she was acting. I wanted to give it five stars but it was confusing at times when the different characters would speak. Example, one character would say something but it wouldn’t say who. You had read on or guess.

Can't trust thosevthugs
OMG!!! Tina j has done it again. This story held my attention from the very first page. My heart went out to Sapphire it almost like she couldn't catch a break. The grandmother and the aunt was something else and I hope they get exactly what they deserved. I'm definitely reading 2.

My word how evil is that grandmother and aunt Shae. How can they treat their family that way.
Sapphire went thru the ringer trying to make ends meet with the twins. Croc was a blessing in disguise and assisted them out of a dire situation.
I’m looking forward to see what will happen to all those evil people ugh 😑

I am speechless. I can’t believe the way that ended. I love the way that Sapphire bonded with Ty and Tiara. I can’t stand Teesha, Abe, Shae or the grandmother. I can’t wait until granny gets her karma. Jumping right into book 2.

Ty's mother I just want to smash her head in and then here comes Teesha with her mess...Juels warned Shae continuously about her mess and she just keep going... Karma is gonna come around for all of them for what they are doing to Sapphire
