Longer than it needed to be
Noel’s playboy tendency caused him and Tamia to lose time together. Tamia was overly emotional fighting in the third trimester. That was too ratchet. She came from a decent home so where she picked up those tacky tendencies is beyond me. Fran was just desperate, and should have cut her losses a long time ago. I preferred Tati and Antwon’s story, as well as Julian and Felisha.

It’s a no for me
Although this story is entertaining and makes you want to see how it ends, it’s still a no for me.
Just when I thought there couldn’t be an MMC worst then Ja’keem here comes Noel. Noel had absolutely no character development AT ALL. He was selfish and was the king of gas lighting. Also he basically played both sides a lot. The way he treated both women was just terrible. The fact that he missed the baby shower was horrible. Then he had the nerve to get mad at Tamia for not telling him about the baby’s birth. He couldn’t put aside personal feelings to show up for the baby shower but he wanted her to put her hurt to the side and tell him she went in labor when he’s showed enough times that he’s unreliable? He’s such a hypocrite! He kept telling Mia to put her personal feelings to the side to coparent but didn’t follow through with the same thing he was preaching. He went and got with anyone but was quick to call Tamia out her name if she entertained another guy.
I went from liking Tamia to losing all hope for her. There was no character development for her either. In fact she got worst. She talked all that crap about her mom but she was no better. Noel would consistently do her so dirty and all he had to do was show her a little affection and she’d welcome him back with open arms. The amount of times I screamed “GIRL STAND UP!” was ridiculous. The way Noel spoke about her behind her back and in her face was terrible. If he thought so low of her and her occupation, it made no sense to get involved with her. He knew what it was when he met her! Also I’m so sick of these fmcs who allow the mmcs to play the field and get with whoever while they sulk around waiting for him to choose her. Noel had his cake and ate it too the entire book and you mean to tell me Tamia couldn’t find happiness with someone else at all ????? Also the fact that she was willing to ignore Fran being in his life just to keep him was sickening. How was she any different from her mom? Then the fact that he mistreated, belittled and toss her aside when he felt like it was crazy. This man hardly ever apologized for how he wronged her and if she expressed herself he basically expected her to get over it and couldn’t care less how she felt.
It got to the point where I didn’t root for them to be together and hoped Tamia would get with someone else. This man never once showed he could be faithful to either woman in his life so I don’t understand how they wanted him.
I’m noticing too much of a pattern with this author’s work as far as the MMC playing the field and getting with any girl they want while expecting the FMC to stay loyal and only be with him. It’s getting tiring. The MMC has decent relationships outside of the fmcs but if the fmcs get with somebody else the guys are always just as bad if not worse than the MMC. Which is unfair. Don’t get me wrong the stories are interesting but I’m getting tired of these no good toxic mmcs.
There were so many errors that it took away from the story. Also the excessive amount of details about what they were wearing was also unnecessary.
The drama kept me reading but ultimately I didn’t enjoy this at all.

Ooooh the Pettiness
Normally books with this amount of back and forth and off and on between couples annoys me, but I was here for it in this book. Cion really brought it to life and I'll shamelessly admit I was hanging on to every word. Noel and Tamia were real toxic for a bit. He was real wrong for missing the baby shower and she was dead wrong for not letting him know she was in labor. All of their trials and tribulatiins made them reuniting all the much sweeter. But Porscha was the queen of pettiness. I could not believe the things she said to Tamia. And I was so happy delusional, petty Franny got what she deserved in the end.

Noel & Tamia forever 💖💖💖
I’m so happy that Noel and Tamia finally worked things out. I think they are a wonderful couple who was really attracted to each other and fell in love. This was a wonderful book I really enjoyed the characters. There were a few grammatical errors and that’s why I only gave it four stars but it really is a very good book. Cion Lee I really enjoyed reading your books on to the next.

what a ride!
Noel and Tamia definitely had their mess about them and the ups and downs were something else! Great story with sizzling chemistry and bad decisions that come with immaturity, hurt, anger and trauma. Really enjoyed seeing the, get themselves together. Great story (typos were distracting sometimes).

N.O.L.A. 2
Love me some Noel! Mia did not play either!! That goes to show you, just because you been there forever, that doesn’t mean someone wont come along and take your place. Why in the world that girl never learned her lesson a f felt like that man owed her something is beyond me. He was doing just as much dirt as him dose t matter if he knew it or not...she knew!

This series was not the typical drug dealer saved the girl in the projects. I loved the fact that Mia was a go getter and hit her own bag. This series is better than I expected. A must read

This was a bumpy ride for Tamia and Noel, They just kept hitting speed bumps one by the name of Frandesha. She caused so much trouble with her little good girl act but when her secret hits the fan, man man man.

Perfect Ending
I just love this authors work. The Bellamy family has become my favorite. These siblings go hard for each other and love like no other. This was a page turner and I couldn’t put it down. I definitely recommend this book.

Tamia got her Bae
I enjoyed how the story ended. I’m glad that Frandresha got her karma. Both Noel and Tamia did some petty things to each other, but in the end, it all worked out

The shade is real....
Good read to a follow up with continuous shade. The shade is definitely real in book 2!! Fran was my girl with her annoying acts and all, UNTIL. Tamia has never been my like of a character trait, BUT she redeemed herself by growing up a little bit. The disrespected attitude toward her mom sent her right back down to the bottom with me. I don't care what her mom did, no excuse. Noel was for everybody so I didn't really care who he ended with. They all definitely showed how young they really were. Good read but these characters were all over the place with decision making. And yes there are 20 yr old's with more maturity than these.

Drama Filled
Part 2 was really good. Just enough drama, sex, lies and happiness. Karma came back and bit some folks and boy was I smiling hard. I love Tamia - even though she was dramatic , yea. 😂😂 But overall I like how nothing dragged. Everything was out and handled in an accordingly time. I love Taj and how he has that protective nature. Every girl needs a big bro like Taj. And who needs enemies when your mama is the main one? Glad pieces of the puzzle connected. Enjoy this book y’all , and be prepared to be stressed a tiny bit lmao. But you’ll be smiling at the end.....

Wtf is a Frandesha😂
Wtf is a Frandesha has to be my all time favorite line😂. I loved this story so much! I was always team Tamia and favor her pettiness and all over Noel and his antics. I must agree that they were both wrong with the back and forth but I absolutely like how he swooped in once he knew she was pregnant and immediately claimed that baby. Noel was winning by simple not being Tarrel 2.0. This was such a good series!

This Author is a great story teller and I enjoy her books very much. I have been following this story line from the very beginning. It keeps my attention from the beginning to the end. I would recommend this book to others, but sis " Can you tighten up on the typos? "

This was a really good book. Actually I love all of her books. I love how Tamia and Noel relationship finally evolved into something so cute and beautiful. It’s definitely a must read.
I gave a 4 star because of all the grammatical errors. But please don’t let that not be the reason to not read it. I can’t wait for the next book to drop.

Awesome ending
This was a awesome ending to this series. I liked the flow of the book meaning not rushing the material to put the couple back together. I liked that the drama was limited and not too much drama. I'm glad everything worked out for Noel and Tamia.
