?????

This book started out ok, then it lost me. There was no connectivity at all. I don't really know what the book was about. I kept reading because I thought at some point it would all connect but it didn't. I felt that it was a lot of incomplete characters compiled in one book. It was like there wasn't a story to follow, just too many characters that were not fully developed and had no direction.

Good Read

Really good book. It flowed really well and I was at to be continued before I knew it. I liked Obasi for Miami, but I was confused with the way he acted when she came onto him. Really, is a whole other story...how he trying to get Miami and Easton to come back home, then next chapter he with his mistress. Hopefully, the next installment bring everything together. On to PT.2

Wow!

So this book was good from start to finish. Miani I’m glad she left but just like she said she’s been weak and mistreated by men for so long. Obasi played the shit out of my girl, knowing damn well he wants to be in with her. I guess he wants to still fuck on that trick Tieasha. Hosea yessss zaddy. He sounds like a fucking god!! I just don’t like his attitude, yeah they didn’t establish anything but you was laying dick down like that on the first night how you think a bihhh going to act. Dice girl you a BOSS!!! I hope her and Hosea be together she’s drowning in misery over her husband. You need to be happy too sus. It’s big of her to step up and take the Love child. If Chauncey wasn’t dead I would kill his ass. Did Miani go back with Ralph? How dare he, nigga you got s whole baby on the way out here. Obasi sister hot ass smh...Obasi go get Miani and let your sister learn the hard way. Let’s gooooo part 2!!!!!

It's About To Be Some Smoke

Oh my goodness. This storyline was straight hook, line, sinker. I was caught up from the beginning. Man oh man Ralph bout to catch all that heat with his trifling behind. I love me some Obasi and Hosea. Hosea is a different breed and I love it. This story is well written and you can't help but love or hate the characters. There is only a few that I can't stand but they keep the plot going. I can't wait to see how the situationships unfold in part 2.

Stop Tha Press!

Miani was in a miserable marriage and finding out Ralph had cheated just really made things worse. Hanging with her girls gives her the strength to leave. Ralph is a control freak, believes he can treat his wife anyway. Obesities was a very good friend to Miani and not ready to take it further causes one to stray. Dice lost her husband Chauncey but his boys Murk and Hiram are meeting her latest conquest Hosea. Unknown secrets are getting ready to come out and Part 2 will reveal them!!!!! Hot!!!! Hot!!!

Good Good!

To say that this was a refreshing change of pace is an understatement. The writer starts out giving us a look at the main characters . The story goes from zero to one hundred in seconds. I love that we are seeing women handle their lives but get there boss status on has well. There are going to be some twist and turns that are going to have you saying" what". There is really good chemistry,so the story flows so effortlessly. This is good writing and you are going really like this right from the start.

Whew, that ending though. First off I hate West mm, you should have let Miami sleep her at the funeral. Ralph is to controlling. Hosea bossed up on Dice, so it’s only right you let her boss up on hm like he did her. Can’t wait for part 2.

Good read

The book was pretty good. There’s definitely a lot going on. Ralph was my least favorite. Obasi is a great friend to Miani, and I don’t think she appreciates it. After everything Weston did, she was still worried about him. Chauncey is still hurting Dice, even in death.
