Once a Ho' Always a Ho'
This is one hot mess of a crew consisting of four friends, but with a friend like one of these you don’t need any enemies.
In this gut wrenching, jaw dropping first installment of Once a Ho’, Always a Ho’ Delondra is the one at the center of attention. With absolutely no care in the world, this heartless chick will mess with whoever she likes, whenever she wants, and however she desires, all for the almighty dollar. Stepping carelessly on friends, strangers and anybody else, that will make her bank account grow, Delondra is down. But what happens when the tables are turned? What happens when she finally meets a man who is not willing to play her game?
Then there’s Syria… her man Clemson stepped out on her, but she’s been keeping that little tidbit of information to herself. What will happen when push comes to shove? Will she be able to let go of those insecurities and say, ‘I do’? Or will she finally have to come clean about what she knows and accept the fate that the outcome produces?
Now Ivy, she is the best friend that everyone wants to have, and the only one out of the crew to luckily land a worthy man. After finding the love she always dreamed about, Ivy doesn’t want to share her man with anyone, so she keeps her relationship a secret. But how long can she hide this man who has brought her so much joy from her friends?
Last but not least, there’s Princess who is living a dangerous life by concealing her genuine identity. After struggling to be her true self and find love, she too is at her happiest. But how long will that happiness last once the truth comes out? Will she still be able to ride off into the sunset with her man or will she lose everything including her life when he finds out what she’s really been hiding?
Follow this unusual group of young women as they search for love, peace and happiness… well, some of them anyway!!

Great series
So far so good! I'm ready for the next book in this series by Lady Lissa and Shelli Marie. I love Lady Lissa. So I know if she's writing with someone. They have to be good as well. I will be looking out for more books by Shelli Marie.

I can’t believe everything is happening like this . Poor Princess you can’t keep those type of secrets and expect everything to be okay. IDC IDC i hate Delondra she is a hater and a terrible friend like how could you . I’m love Ivy and JT but something tells me there is going to be trouble. And my heart goes out to Syria and Clem I don’t how to feel but I am honestly rooting for them

Delondra is a messy chick.
Once a Ho’ Always a Ho’ by Lady Lissa and Shelli Marie is a interesting story. Both ladies did a good job. They don’t have any problems to come with another good series for their readers.
Whatever I don’t hang or talk to my homegirls but I will not do any sneaky and shady toward them because I always show my loyalty and caring friendship to the. Delondra doesn’t care about her homegirls feeling but herself. She’s sneaky and disrespectful towards her friends. She doesn’t know definition of friendship and be classic woman. She’ll definitely meet her karma.
Princess should keeping real to Vince about her situation. She’s messy as Delondra. I understand how Ivy wants to keep her secret to herself about JT because Delondra can’t be trusted.
I can’t wait to reading part two of this series.
Good Read:

Lawddddd This Was Good!!!!!!!!
Delondra is definitely going to have a date with Karma. She's trifling as hell, she can't be trusted, and her mouth is reckless. She's going to stab the wrong person in the back and they're going to come for her. Ivy know she's making the right move by keeping her relationship with JT hidden. No matter how much pressure she's getting from her so called friend. She is not spilling it. Syria has been hiding a secret she thought no one knew about. To me she was making herself suffer instead of confronting Clemson. Princess should have taken heed to what those who cared about her was saying. She needed to come clean no matter who couldn't accept her. What she is doing ended putting her life and Syria life in danger. I can't wait for part two.

I couldn’t put this book down
I like Princess I wish she would of told Vince the truth before it got to the point where the guy at his job knew who Princess was and told the secret now Princess may die now as for Delondra bold headed self she gets on my nerves around here sleeping with everybody man and thinking it’s cute she needs to get her own man but most importantly she needs to figure out her self worth and valve before it’s too late. I’m disappointed in Clem once again he mess up his relationship over Delondra dusty wig wearing self hopefully he sees what a great woman he has at home before another man comes along and scoops his girl off her feet

Mann!!
Another Lady Lissa and Shellie Banger. This book was a hot mess. Delondra’s behind was a jealous, trifling witch and she will definitely get what she deserves. With friends like her, you definitely don’t need any enemies. Poor Princess. I hope that he lives, but everyone warned him about telling the truth. You cannot play with a man like that I cannot wait to read book two!

Can a Ho Be A Friend?
I don't know why D hasn't been kicked out of the circle. She doesn't know the meaning of friendship. And the embarrassment of her always fighting other women over men - no, I couldn't hang with her. Ivy is right to keep her man a secret. Princess played a dangerous game; I hate her struggle, but she needs common sense.
Very engaging start to this series, and I'm already into part 2.

Like forreal forreal Delondra a whole ho' outcha. Why is it that she can't get a man of her own? Then she wants to mess up everybody else relationship when they don't wanna fuck with her anymore. In Princess' case I knew shit was about to hit the fan. All them need to reevaluate their friendships.

How could Delondra call herself being best friends but sleeping with their men behind their backs! Oh my goodness, Princess knows she should have been up front about herself! Now, she might not live to see another day! Getting ready to read part two!
