Have you ever been in a situation where the best thing for you to do, is the hardest thing? That’s the same dilemma Shanice Davis finds herself in after finding out her husband does not love her the same way she loves him. Throwing caution to the wind, Shanice decides to live her best life while on a girl’s trip to Mexico.
Gia, Shanice’s best friend only concern is her daughter. Trying to care for her daughter while breaking ties from her controlling ex is harder than Gia ever imagined. This is one fight however that Gia refuses to lose.
Hurt by love, Truth Baylor is all about his money. Along with his right hand, Gabe, Truth is the plug to the streets. Neither of them are worried about women until they stumble upon Shanice and Gia.
What started out as a vacation fling quickly escalates when Shanice and Truth happen to run into each other back at home. Will they continue what was started in Mexico or will the trust issues they both have interfere with something magical?
When drama and feelings start to get crazy, Shanice will be able to tell everyone what it’s like to be Falling for Real One, even if it’s not a good thing.

(3.5⭐️) This book is so messy and full of drama that it’s just plain entertaining. Feels like a tubi movie lol… which is not necessarily a bad thing. BUUTTTT I had some issues with the way the story was written (Very short chapters, Pretty choppy sentences that makes the writing feel a tad juvenile and
No paragraph breaks to mark clear transitions from scene to scene). While distracting, the plot kept me engaged enough to want to continue as the story ends on a cliffhanger.

So good
There is so much foolery going on in this book. I love it. I’m hoping for the best for Truth Sha and Gia. I wanna strangle Los myself. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Los was just plain trouble, I can't believe that he was living a double life, on top of setting Truth up. How in the world did Los and Lori even knew each other?! Shanice might have used Truth in the beginning, but she began to have feelings for him. Shanice just wanted Los to do right by her, but she never knew that she was sent someone far better than Los, and that was Truth. Truth was most definitely the truth, and what Truth wanted was Sha.
Gia had an issue, in the name of Tommy, her baby's father. Gia was single, but Tommy acted like Gia was his woman, and I didn't quite understand that, being that Tommy had a whole woman. Tommy was in for a rude awakening, because Gabe wanted Gia for himself. Gia and Gabe were so adorable together, and I see these two making it work, that's if Gia makes it through.

There was SO much going on here !
What happens in Cancun definitely did not stay in Cancun !
Tangle webs were woven, how you do step out of your man with the plug!
Well technically he not even “your man”
The ending has me stressed..
Gia 💔
Umm Shaniece and Truth how is this all going to unfold.
Gabe keep a cool head! He is so funny and definitely my favorite character so far!
Los it’s a wrap
Lori it’s a wrap
Tommy it’s a wrap
Jarvis and Stacey why was that necessary 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
So messy.
I just know with all this mess, there has to be a HEA coming for these 2 couples.
Idk how, but this is a romance right?
Definitely keeping me entertained

Shanice knew Carlos was up to no good. She just didn't know how trifling and scandalous he was until his secrets came out. Truth was pissed when he found out what Shanice was hiding but his heart was already in it even though he tried to move on. Truth has no clue how unstable Loni was until Shanice goes missing. Gia and Gabe make a great couple. Gabe is hilarious. However him and Gia happiness may not last because Gia ex is bitter and is out for revenge. These couples are going through it with bitter ex's who is causing trouble because their feelings are hurt.

Good Stuff
First let me say that Truth and Babe are just straight up gangster! First off that was some cold dishing out that Truth handed Los in his on house. Now Gabe I had to gather myself because I think buddy has been traumatized by that big experience! I thought I was going to have to have some oxygen when he said burn it down. This was just a really good read,not to mention it was just plain fun.

I gotta say Gabe is one silly guy! Him talking bout those roaches had me weak.. almost on the brink of tears from laughing so hard! That ending though... man it’s about to go down in Philly! I can’t wait to read the next part!

OM freaking G... I don’t even know where to start. It’s A LOT going on. I don’t know why Tommy and Los are getting so many passes. I’m kinda on the fence with my feelings for Shanice. Gia is a great friend. I’m loving Truth but for him and Gabe to be bosses...they get caught slipping...A LOT!!
