Where do I begin...
So predictable! As I read over the first 62% of the book that was rereleased I realized that I didn’t like this book as much as I thought. So much of the book was not realistic, the plane, the jobs (Omni is always at work but never have any business) (DONT get me started on all the shit Sayeed buys) the “chance encounters” Not only that she literally added a sentence that said they had another sister who was at home sick, thank god for that! She didn’t mention her in the first release. Everybody but Sadie and Chavez are getting on my nerves. I doubt if I’ll be waiting around for part 2! The only reason I gave 3 stars are for the quality of the writing.

What’s with the weak women
I did not finish this book, I will not continue this series. Egypt left a good man who did everything good but marry her, for a thugged out man with crazy exes and baby mamas who end up attacking her and he cheats on her on the regular lol, she goes back to Justus but in her mind she still wants Sayeed. Nope. I feel like when she went back to Justus he should have had a new woman and it should have been too late for her. Justus deserves better. First and foremost Sayeed was bad for her from the beginning. So make it make sense that’s she wants him over a guy who treated her 10 times better. And she jumped into a relationship with Sayeed 5 minutes after dumping Justus. I’m not catching a break trying to explore new authors. I will stick to who I usually read. I stopped at 3% and skimmed the book by the way. I wanted to save myself the time when I could be reading a better plot. I don’t understand all the 5’s. Because that’s what initially draws my attention. Books with weak women usually have high ratings. Books with women who don’t take no mess ratings are usually lower. I will just read the 1 and 2 stars. They are usually more truthful and the book.

The King sisters couldn't seem to catch a break. Egypt was too trusting and that led to her current predicament. I don't agree with her faulting Sayeed for the actions of Marah because that heffa was just hateful and spiteful. Gaia was something else but I appreciated her bluntness. She didn't tolerate disrespect but she could've handled the situation with Bentley much differently. Bentley's wife had some nerve and I hope she gets everything that comes her way because of her actions. I liked what Omni and Deen were building and although he didn't know how to handle things in beginning he quickly came to his senses. Wise had a lot of nerve thinking things would pickup where they once left off. He was a whole bitch for him thinking him telling on Deen would earn him any points. Sadie went through way much and always kept the faith that things would get better. Through it all she never once gave up and Chevez came along at the right time. The pastor, Nana and Mrs. Lacoste got on my nerves with all their judgments. I hope things begin to get better for the King sisters and there Lacoste men.

Promise you this
I am ready for the finale. I feel like I’ve been filled with anxiety and anticipation for so long for the conclusion but this book combining part 1 and 2 only added to my anxiety 😩 I can’t wait to see what happens when Sadie returns. I wonder who Egypt will end up with and she will overcome her addiction. I think Sayeed is the best for her! Gaia is smart to give OMelly hell at this point but now I’m so worried about her baby and her life! Omni has a choose to make between her past and present or who knows maybe there is a clean cut guy from the future. Wise doesn’t seem like he’s going to give up any time soon! Can’t wait for more!

Cliffhanger/
I gave 5 stars because this author's writing style is everything, her storylines is always on point, and never may errors with the editing. What I didn't like about this book is its a re-release and the new book picks up about 60% into the book. That's is the only thing that I disliked about it. Was thinking this was an entirely new book but it's not. And have been waiting on the 2nd book to this story so I was happy about that. And now there will be a another continuation. But I will be patiently waiting.

Very Good Read
I loved how the author took the time to develop each character. She showed their insecurities and brought them to life. The story felt so real you would think it was based on true events.
I didn’t like how the father was so judgmental of his girls. (But this happens all the time in real life). In some parts of the book the story seemed to drag. I wanted more from Sadie. I wanted to get into her head like I felt I could with the other sisters. Sadie is still a mystery to me.
I would definitely recommend this book. It’s a great read.

Hmmm ... no
I wanted to like this book so much but it turned me off a lot that that the author of this book used names from one of my fav author’s books. The storyline was different but very slow but the unique names used from another author’s books turned me off! Gunner, Omni, and Neveah were characters from the same series my favorite author wrote and it just didn’t seem original after I caught that. I just couldn’t finish the series after that! Originality is a must when I read books and if I read anything remotely close to someone else’s book then I’ll lose interest.

Man these sisters and the Lacoste brothers gon give me a heart attack. It is too much going on and I hope in the next book that everybody like Marah gets exactly what she deserves. Reading about the King sisters definitely gives me the feels since I can relate sister wise. And I'm glad somebody cursed Nana's rude ass out. Patiently waiting for the next book.
And then teasing us with Mickey and Easton.

Wow!
This book had a lot going on. The King Girls ad the Lacoste boys actually belongs together. The story was well written and I love the relationship that the girls had. I can’t wait until Sadie is reunited with them. Egypt is going through hell and I hope that Sayeed and the girls can help her through it, because she does not need Justus. Definitely would recommend this book to others.

Oh my gosh!
This author is new to me. I am an avid reader and I gravitate towards my go to authors as they mostly don’t disappoint me. Ms. Thomas is now on my list of faves. I loved this book and how the characters were crafted and the story unfolds. I almost put it down after the first chapter because it was so dark. I’m glad I held on . Strong characters and story line. I throughly enjoyed book one and I’m on to book two with equal expectations..

WHY JUST TELL ME WHY
I’m so freaking mad that this was not a stand-alone. I never read a book unless it is the entire series. I read some of the reviews and none that I saw said, “I can’t wait for part 2”. Anyway, the characters are amazing the story is captivating. I couldn’t put it down. Lord PLEASE let part 2 come soon!
