N.O.L.A: Noel & Tamia
Noel Jetson is in the prime of his life. Being 1/4 of the popular R&B group , N.O.L.A, means he can pretty much have whatever he wants. Despite having a girl back in New Orleans, he's not trying to settle down anytime soon. He just wants to have fun. Tamia Bellamy is the definition of fun. She's young,funny, gorgeous, free-spirited, and and an exotic dancer. What he thinks is going to be a one night stand with a freak ends up being way more than he bargained for. He tries to fight it, but the heart wants what the heart wants. He just can't understand why his heart would want someone as flawed and damaged as Tamia. Join Noel and Tamia on this bumpy ride!

Love Noel and Tamia 💘💘💘
This is my first time reading this author and I must say I am so impressed. This book is so good. I love the characters it was just what I needed. I was at that space where I was reading a series that I read before . I was bored and this book cover caught my eye. Thank goodness because I now have a new author to add to my list. This is the story of Noel and Tamia and it's a great story so it was an absolute pleasure reading this book I can't wait to get to book 2.

In love with a stripper
I really enjoyed getting to know the other half of the turn up twins.Tamia has such a free spirit and her love for Tatiana is unmatched. She was always hardcore with men because of her dad,when she meets Noel he knocks down those walls. They fall fast and heavy but as always outside opinions cloud judgement in relationships. So now they are both suffering without each other. Ready for part 2!

Very Good Read
This book was so good. I can understand both Noel and Tamia's point of view when it comes to her job. And poor Tamia hasn't had any good relationship role models in her young life so she got all kinds of baggage and bad perspectives. The story of this relationship has been told so well, while representing both sides honestly and fairly. I can't wait for Noel to realize how much he loves Tamia. And mostly I can't wait for him to find out what Ms. Francesca did.

Team Tamia
This is the first time I’ve read anything from this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I knew Fredresha was sneaky the moment she tried to say she was pregnant. I didn’t like that his mother judged Tamia based on a scorned lover, I don’t care how close she was with her. I’m looking forward to reading the next book, and I hope Tamia comes out on top.

Great Read
This family has been everything and I love how the siblings love each other. I can’t wait to see what happens with Tamia and Noel and I am sure there is more drama brewing for Noel and Frandesha. I definitely recommend this book.

N.O.L.A. Noel and Tamia
I don’t understand why she just won’t tell everybody who she pregnant by. I mean even if he don’t want a relationship, they can still do parent

Team Francesca?? Maybe maybe not
Well this story certainly had me in my feelings about Noel having this love for Franny but doing his dirt with a stripper. Ok, well now that Tamia is getting all his attention in the club even sexual attention, what about Franny?? Some may say she's weak but being young in love will do that. This is a good read but why the author have to let him cheat on the good girl. Life is full of "the good girl getting the short end of the stick". I was team Francesca but maybe not so much when her lil secret comes out. Tamia I could care less wether he makes her his number one or not, she will always only be a stripper in his family's eyes and who'd want that?

An awesome reead
This was a awesome read, it held my attention all the way to the end. I loved the chemistry between Noel and Tamia. I hope they will able and willing to find themselves back together. Noel mother is blind sided by the ideal of who she think Frandesha is. I'm waiting to see how she will view Fran when they find out that baby ain't his. Okay, Noel senior loved someone other than Deidre but he took the safe route. I hope he verbalize to his son follow and fight for what you love. I'm waiting on part 2. This author creates realistic situations . Then creates masterpieces.

She does it again !!! Oh it’s up there 👆🏾
This book is a sooo fire when I tell you Tamia gave me the blues honey lol. I’m gonna need her to put on her big girl panties and accept what has happened sis. Y’all both knew what was gonna happen. And to Noel’s momma & ex you two are a piece of work you hear me. Noel’s momma needs to stay in her place and mind her business. And NOEL I expected you to man up and defend Tamia when your people was going in on her. Now it’s to be expected to have those kind of thoughts when they found out her occupation. But if I’m digging someone and I truly ef with them, than I’ll defend them. But I wanna see that part two talking bout

Take pride in your work
Book was good and entertain but the two stars come from the EDITS!!!! Misspelled words, grammatical errors etc. Authors if you’re going to pay editor makes sure they are doing their job. Also read your own books!!!!!! Your brand is being impacted negatively because the edits of your books are HORRIBLE!!!! Please take pride in your work as an author!!!! Challenge your editor and publishing company to push out quality work! You don’t see Times Best Sellers with books that are filled with errors. Aim higher than “amazon” top books!!!

Man!
Man listen! I knew I shouldn’t read the book until part 2 came out because I was already consumed with thoughts of Tamia and Noel and Frandesha. I didn’t know who I was going to feel sorry for the most going in but I knew there was going to be some hurt with this triangle. When the dust clears I wonder if this will be a situation like her dad or if Noel will just have 1 baby mama. Great read!

Part 2 👀👀
This was a good read but i didn’t need that much background on Tamia and Noel. I thought this story would pretty much start off where the other left . Maybe I’m too anxious to see how the situation plays out. All in all the story structure and timelines match up . Can’t wait to prove Frannie baby ain his 🤗.
