Loving You Is A Battle
Synosis
James Thomas better known as Cream was the epitome of FINE and every woman's fantasy. He wasn't the type of man that went around adding notches to his bedpost. Cream considered himself a king in search for his queen. He thought his girlfriend of four years would be the one; until her monstrous and gold digging ways came to light. Ci Ci walks into his life and steals his heart but not without dealing with the past.
Cream is hiding a secret from Ci-Ci not because he doesn't want her to know; but because he doesn't believe she can handle it. Will he keep her in the dark or will their relationship come crashing down when she finds out.
Darius meets Iesha who has given him nothing but attitude since they first met. He refuses to give up on her without a fight. Unfortunately, someone in her family doesn't want her happy and continues to try and sabotage her happiness.

Great Read
This book was good from beginning to end. Full of drama and more drama with some twist and turns. Kelly and the girls mother deserve everything that's coming to them. After that ending, I'm on to the next installment. Great job Tina J.

Nonsensical
Poor character development with confusing narration. No holds bar sex 3 weeks after giving birth? Why is Cici prancing and exposing herself to her brother-in-law, smh. Arms dealers making millions yet only Mike is their bodyguard. How is it that no one saw what Mike and Kelly were up to, smh. No one is asking about her Cici and Creams mothers know it each other, smh. The frequency of the sex was expected were new relationships but there was more sex than storyline. Cici goes from scaredy-cat to Muhammad Ai in a couple of months. Cici goes from don't use the word "bitch" to HBIC committing murder with the assistance of the police officer who has been trying to incarcerate your husband. I definitely will not be reading book 2.

More misses then hits with this author…
This one needed too much work for the author to have so many stories out. Then again this is a hit or miss author so I’m not really surprised that this one was so bad. It didn’t flow, was too fast at times when it should’ve been explained more and is her name Iesha of Lesha? Stull trying to figure that out. I doubt I’d read the next one with this it’s too cookie cutter to be this bad.

I dislike
The book is great read but I am tired of every man sleeping with next because of a disagreement and these women taking them back so fast. Where is the !along him work for you, or going out with someone else to show how it feels. This is what this series is going to be about. No more no less. Cheating, and getting back together. If Miguel is your cousin, no one should blackmail you.

The Battle
When a woman is scorned she will do anything to try and get her man back. Kelly name should have been karma cause it get her a$$. Cici finally started getting some back bone. Iesha tried to get her mother to love her but I still don't understand why she treated her the way she did. I can't wait to find out what happened between Monster and Iesha.

Omg
This book right here! Good good good! I was concerned about CiCi but she toughened up. I hated what the girls' momma put them through. She really needs to be put out of her misery just like Kelly. I knew $_#!@¥ is who Monsta was after. How are the brothers going to handle this? I am so looking forward to book three.

This book is the bomb
I’m loving this book with the many twists n turns. I’m loving how Cici getting some hood in her n standing up for herself! I’m glad they got rid of Kelly n Ms. Barnes because they were starting to get on my nerves. I hope Iesha will be ok because damn it’s getting really suspenseful!!

Suspense
This book was suspenseful, it took me a while to read because I kept getting dude tracked but I'm interested in finding out why Cici & Iesha's mom doesn't like Iesha my guess is that she isn't her biological daughter. Guess I'll have to purchase part 2 in order to see.

Good story. Loving Cream and Darius. Not sure why women cannot take rejection then end up getting killed when they cannot move on. How does your mom hate u so bad to want you dead? Really sad. Now enemies killed now Monster want Iesha.
