Marvelous Adams had it all; she was beautiful, had a successful career, and a husband that women said a special prayer to God for. Marvelous had what most would consider a perfect life. Except, things aren’t always what they seem. Despite every materialistic thing she has, Marvelous is unhappy. Her marriage with Wyatt Adams looks good on paper, but in reality she’s suffering, to a point where she’s pushed into the arms of another man. Wyatt grew up privileged so acquiring the finer things in life had always come easy to him. So when he laid eyes on the strikingly beautiful Marvelous, he just had to have her. Unbeknownst to Marvelous, Wyatt didn’t ask for her hand in marriage based off her personality and good looks alone. No, not at all. Wyatt had ulterior motives. Bria, Marvelous’ best friend, is just as beautiful and successful as she is. Bria’s a single mother who is only focused on raising her child and excelling in her career as the vice president of Marvelous’ lucrative advertising firm, so falling in love was the furthest thing from her mind. That is, until the captivating, thugged out, Jeremy White who sweeps her off her feet. Jeremy is a bad boy, running the drug game with his best friend Zion. Because they grew up roaming the dangerous streets on the west side of Detroit, getting involved with the drug game and malice was pretty much destined to them. Gun totting, drug dealing, and violence is second nature to these young savages. What isn’t second nature to them is falling in love, so the both of them are hit with a curve ball when two beautiful women from different sides of the track waltz into their lives. Tis the Season to Fall for a Thug isn’t your ordinary Christmas love tale. In the midst of heartache, deceit, lies and betrayal is just the right amount of love to keep you turning pages.
This intense, drama filled storyline with excellent character development will keep you continuously racing to the next page to read what happens next. Marvelous is truly that deal! I really enjoyed her, Bria was nice too. That Jeremy and Zion are hilarious and interesting men. I enjoyed and recommend this five star read. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
This was a great storyline. However the multiple grammatical errors took away from the story. Marvelous should've been divorced Wyatt arrogant and selfish behind. He was only spoon feeding her and using her to get ahead in her father company. He had no intentions on starting a family. Wyatt didn't care who had to sleep with or step on to get what he wanted. Hell he didn't care about his marriage and made it easy for Zion to slide in and give Marvelous everything she was missing. Jeremy really did fall in love with Bria. Although she told him the situation concerning her son father. Bria didn't tell the whole truth. No matter how Bria tried to remove herself from her betrayal. She was scandalous. I'm not going to lie. I thought her baby was by Wyatt and that's why she was hiding who her child father was but whewwww. When the truth came out I was stuck, in shock, with my mouth hanging open. Jeremy was beyond pissed and left Bria right where she was standing. I hated what happened to Zion. I was hoping Marvelous would've gotten her happily ever after.
That Bria situation was wrong on so many levels because this man knew her when she was a young tot, and it was very disturbing to me! That betrayal cut to the core and so many people happiness were jeopardized! Bria and that man was sick because she was at those people home and doing this dirtiness. These folks ain’t loyal because Bria continued with the cheating!
Marvelous marriage crumbled and Wyatt was a a**hole!
Zion Zion words failed me on what happened, but on the positive side he left Marvelous with a beautiful child and his love!
Will Bria and Marvelous relationship mend? That’s a thousand dollar question!
I get it. There was a lot of suspense even though this wasn’t a holiday book in essence. But the ending was so rushed and the twist so wrong for a couple that you rooted for that I was just done with the whole thing. I felt like I wasted my time reading this since basically no one walked away with a smile. It got 3 stars off the weight of the first 75% of the book, but the ending was just that bad for me. Some make like it, but I like my books to have a decent ending.
This book was good but the ending had me crying. Zion was Bae and he went after what he wanted. No matter who you belonged too. Marvelous was married and didn't know how unhappy she really was. Wyatt was all for himself and tried to do any and everything to become that man at the top. Now he's at the very bottom and his Owen ole snitching scheming tale is right by him. Bria should've came clean long time ago. I really thought she was fooling with Wyatt. Marvelous heart is torn but she has a blessing to keep her uplifted
Even though there were mistakes made along the way. Bonds, happiness, trust and friendship were made in the process, also many lessons were taught as well. Opposites attract, what is done in the dark will sure enough come to light, tell the truth no matter what, you don't know what you got until it's gone, honesty is the best policy and do right from the start. These were a few lessons taking from the story that I viewed, but all in all there were some mending starting and blessings given in spite of. Awesome read but not what I expected. ReneeG 👍
This was my first read by this author and I’m glad I was able to read her work!This was one of those stories that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat anticipating what is going to happen next! Just when I thought I was able to predict what was going to happen next I was hit with a plot twist! And I absolutely loved it! This book grabbed my attention right away and held it till the very end! Reading this was like watching a movie play in my head! Y’all don’t take my work for it.. read this book like now!
This had me crying,in life every one does not get their happy ending,but I feel like one of the other characters should have die,selfish I know . You really did an outstanding job writing this story.The story line really just pulls you in and take you on one extraordinary ride,it makes you believe in this kind of love that comes around once in a lifetime.RIP ZION!!!!!!
Londyn girllllll I don't know what to say!!!! This story was just the isshhhh!!!! I was not expecting him to be Bryson's daddy 😳😳 that was a shocker! Now you didn't have to be like that at the end. I had tears in my eyes with that ending!!!!! You definitely did ya thang boo!!!! I'm glad Marvelous got to experience what she wanted even if it had to end the way it did!!!!! Definitely worth recommending!!!!!!
Ughhhh..... Y did Zion have to die man ughhhh! I was hoping to see them have their happily ever after man. That's so crazy. Who would have thought that Bria was sneaking around wit Marvey's father smh. I thought it was her husband. I was really sad that Bria n Jeremy broke up. They were a good couple. This book was so good n I read it quick. Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow I loved this story so much. Marvelous I love her name. She was beautiful and had a heart of gold. Wyatt old ugly tail. He got exactly what he deserved I was so upset with her friend Brie. Girl really and just how u thought you was going to keep that secret.. Zion OMG.. baby Oh Zion was a real one loved how he loved on Marvelous. I was hurt for Jeremy when he found out about Brie.. Loved this story!!
Wow, this was a really good read! Wyatt did not deserve Marvelous. I hate that Bria ruined their friendship and ruined her relationship with Jeremy. She should have just been honest from the beginning. I was 100% sure she was sleeping with Wyatt! Marvelous' dad NEVER crossed my mind. That was a surprising spin! I hated it so bad that Zion got killed. At least Marvelous has two pieces of him!
It's a must read! That Wyatt any ish. This was an awesome standalone, things won't happen as you think! Had me in tears, Zion & Jeremy were those thugs, honest and loved hard. Bria lost a good one in Jeremy. You will need to read he story to find out about Zion. Marvelous was strong and loved every fiber of Zion!
This is one of the best Christmas books I've read so far and even though it has my emotions in an uproar, I'm glad Marvelous met the man of her dreams because lawd knows Wyatt ass wasn't shit. I'm sorry things didn't workout for Jeremy and Bria, but hey shit happens. #londynlenzrocks
I loved this book and the story flowed so well. I know everybody was thinking that Bria was pregnant by the one person but then I thought about it and was not naw that’s to obvious. I loved Zion and Marvelous. I wished they could have had a better ending, but great read overall...LONDYN U DID IT AGAIN
Wyatt allowed greed to consume him, he swore that he was so smart and had it all figured out. Bria I felt bad for her she tried to move on from her mistake but sometimes the past has a way of humbling you. Marvey my heart aches for her but Zion definitely left her two precious pieces of him!!!!
I’m at a loss for words right now.. You were wrong for this ending in so many ways. Hold on the book is amazing 😉 it’s definitely a standalone but the way it ended I never expected that! The storyline was everything! You will definitely laugh and cry 😢! Please go read the 📚
This book had so many unexpected twists and turns. I’m glad that Marvelous found her version of a happy ending. The book had me laughing and crying. I only gave four stars because of all the errors.... it distracted me from the greatness of the story. I would still definitely read this author again.
I'm so hurt that Zion passed! He killed Wyatt and never got to see his daughter born. Wyatt was grimy and trifling, I really did think that Bria son was by Wyatt so to find he belongs to get best friend father had me stuck. I feel so bad for Jeremy he really loved Bria. Marvelous got her baby but got to hear her favorite sound for the rest of her life.
When I first started reading it I wasn’t sure how i felt about it and I was ready to stop, but I kept going and it pulled me in. I loved how it had me thinking one thing yet something totally different was going on. Besides the errors that caused a bit of confusion, I enjoyed the surprises, twists and turns.
This is a definite must read. I was almost positive that I could predict how the book would go but there was so many twists and turns. BRIA 🤭🤫. The ending was very surprising. Marvey went through so much 😔. It was amazing that no matter what her soulmate will always be with her. This is not your average holiday book. You will not be disappointed.
Omg poor Zion i really thought him an Marvelous was going to have they happy after... i really thought Bria baby was from wyatt never seen that coming an it was marvey daddy... Jeremy wasnt playing about not being with Bria anymore but it was foul how she was acting. I am glad Wyatt got what he deserved.... i loved me some Zion.
My feelings are hurt because of Zion. Wyatt is a A**hole !!!! I don't like him. I truly wanted Jeremy and Bria together. Zion brought the best out of Marvy and I loved everything about their relationship. Wyatt and Owen got what they deserved. That ending left me in my feelings. Londyn Lenz you did the D* thing with this book.
I couldn't put this book down. I don't even know what to say about it. I would have never guessed it was Marvelous dad that got Bria pregnant. Wyatt was so selfish just like his parents. I didn't exactly it to end like this. I felt so bad for Jeremy hell even Bria. This was a awesome read book.
Marvelous got betrayed by 3 people she loved. Wyatt was a jerk I don't understand why she didn't leave earlier. Bria was trifling she could of told her what she was doing behind her back. Mark should of left his Wife cause he knew he wasn't happy. Zion I'm so mad about the ending. Jeremy lost his bestfriend over someone that couldn't take rejection well.
This book was all that I love about Londyn's books. I loved the characters and the big plot twists that Londyn is known for. I wanted to rate this book ONE star so badly just for the ending. But then I thought about it. Londyn delivered on the big plot twist and I had to suck it up because I didn't like it. Another book well done Ms. Lenz.
I fell in love from beginning to end. Zion was most definitely bae. Marvelous was wronged on so many levels but the way Zion loved her was amazing. Jeremy was sweet as well. A beautiful sad love story
Londyn you really did the damn thing with this book. I could not put it down. I am very shocked about the ending. You couldn't tell me Brie wasn't sleeping with Marvelous husband. I was also not expecting Zion to be killed. Overall great story!
The story was good from beginning to end. I love the characters except for Bria she should have told her best friend what was going on. That ending I did not see coming I was all in my feelings. I recommend as good read you will enjoy it.
I done told you authors I’m g and I shouldn’t be crying but this book was sooo!!! Good I love Zion for her I hated that damn Wyatt but of all Im glad she still was in a good head space great book as always
