The Thicker The Thighs The Sweeter The Surprise
Unleashing Ruby Noelle Davis born and raised in the heart of Atlanta! She’s reps the West Side! Bankhead Zone 1, Bolton Road. Bankhead is known for poverty, drug dealing and killing. It’s a way of living for some but not for everyone. Ruby’s kind of like your round the way girl. Everybody knows her. She’s beautiful, timid and hood. She’ll pop off if need be. She keeps her face buried in her books. She’s just cool, calm and collective.
Maurice Bennet a.k.a Reece with the Piece! UM! All the girls want him. He’s young, fly and handsome. He’s not pressed for fame. He has it all money, cars, clothes, but no hoes. He’s a dope boy. His father OG Butta gave him the keys and the recipe to the streets. The only thing he wants to do is make sure his team eats and stay out on the streets.
Ruby and Reece cross paths through Keena and Gunz. The two of them have been peeping each other for a minute, but neither one of them made the first move. One night of hanging out and kicking it, Reece made his move. He decided to pursue Ruby. Surprisingly she was open and accepted what he had to offer. Who would’ve known one night was liable to change her whole life?
Reece was determined to break down the barriers, set in place to finesse his way into her heart. He succeeded big time. He made a promise and a vow he’ll never break her heart. It had to be fate or destiny because the chemistry between them is amazing.
On the outside looking in, the love Ruby and Reece share is beautiful. Every girl wants that with Reece. It’s gotten so bad they’re becoming envious of Ruby. They’ll do whatever it takes to get a piece of Reece. Take a ride with these two to see if Reece can be faithful and stay true.

Good Story
This was a really good story. Took me a while to finish because of the authors writing style and grammatical errors...it was a bit frustrating. However I’m glad I finished. Glad Ruby and Keena got their happily ever after without Gunz and Reece!

As always Nikki did it again. I been anticipating this read for awhile & it was worth the wait. I liked Reece at first, but how he did Ruby was not cool, ****boy at his finest. She didn't play, you had one time & she was DONE. Breeze, loved him. Keena, seems like she finally woke up when it came to GUNZ, I hope she did. I think Reece is a good guy, he just made mistakes but with Ruby there was no coming back. He got what he deserved when it came to Ruby & how he did her. As for Sade, girl didnt nobody want your man. Nikki, as always did the damn thing. Maybe they'll be a wedding special or something to give us an update or even a book with Keena.

Nikki You've Done It Again
This was so good. I knew Gunz was a piece of work. I genuinely liked Reese he was young and dumb and lost sight. I loved the relationship Ms. E had with her girls. I loved Ruby' s sense of self worth it helped her to become the woman she became inspite of the heartbreak and pain she experienced. I was so disappointed in Reece he really showed his true colors. Keena was a mess she was better than me because Gunz would have been long ago. She became greater later with age and maturity and left her heart open too many times for the wrong one. Now Ms. E and Butta I need more about, what was Butta intentions? Can we get more on Rudy? Is there a separate story for Nikenja and Mason? And what can I say I loved me some Breeze that's bae and man who knew what he wanted. This book didn't disappoint I was engaged from beginning to end I would love follow-up but if it doesn't happen I'm okay. I can't wait for next one to drop. I'm I'm defintely reading🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤

Tables do turn!!!
Reece surprised me with the way he treated Ruby, I honestly expected that behavior from Gunz but definitely not him. Ruby From jump she knew exactly the way she was supposed to be treated
and didn’t accept any less. Keena whew she’s a different breed, but although I didn’t always agree with her antics she showed me that she wasn’t dumb after all.

The heat is always being brought when it comes to this author. This was new and refreshing. I will never understand how someone demands respect and loyalty when they can't give it. Ruby knew her worth and demanded respect. She stood her ground when everyone was trying to make her bend. Keena is on a other playing field of her own. I thought she was naive but she just wanted what she wanted. They girl was actually smart and was always spitting the truth when it hurt the most. She was no push over. Oh Mrs Evelyn and Ms. Brandy were no joke. Breeze is a stand uo guy who deserved love and loyalty and I hope CoDee is truly what Keena needs to be happy. Gunz and Reece got what they deserved. This was truly an amazing read!

Very entertaining
This book was reading good. I'm glad that Ruby knows her worth. I've never hated characters more than I hated Reece and Gunz total F boys for sure. I'm glad Ruby and Keena upgraded and got with real grown men.

This was a good one!!!
I'm not going to give anything away but, just know this is a book that you Must Read!!! Typical hood romance/tale but, expertly done. Characters were great, story was great, plot was great and the closure was phenomenal! I definitely recommend 😊

This was a Jour👏🏾ney!!!
Keena wore me ouuuuuutttttt!! My goodness 😩😩 Gunz did what he was allowed to do. Ruby wasn’t bitter; she was just done & Reece was irresponsible in more ways than one. I think his words to Ruby hurt her more than his actions.

self love
Loved this book. Loved how keena and ruby mom loved them and taught them to never lose themselves in a man. Guns & Reece are trash! Loved Breeze for Ruby and Codee for keena…i hope they get a standalone.

Well
This book ending was just all off. There is no update on the rest of the characters. How the author wrote this was crazy. In one paragraph, someone asks 85 questions, and then the next paragraph, that person answered all 85 questions. I'm like, huh.

Good Standalone
I enjoyed reading this standalone even though it was quite lengthy. I'm glad that Breeze came into Ruby's life on his grown man business because Reece was forever and always full of games. The best thing Keena did was to dead the relationship that she had with Gunz because he was just as bad as Reece. I liked Codee and Keena together. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and left unanswered questions. What happen with Sade after she called Reese when she went to Ruby's shop? What did Gunz do when he came back in town and found out Keena had ghosted him? Why didn't we read anything about Rudy coming home except for her didn't want to go to Reece Cup's birthday party? Why was Butta adamant about Reece and Ruby hooking up?
***Honest Advice*** The author and/or editor really needs to learn how to correctly use through, threw, too, and to in sentence.

The Surprise
A surprisingly good read. Well written with a steady flow. Great characters that are likeable, interesting and dealing with plenty of drama. I enjoyed reading about these sisters and the drama that these men brought to their lives. It was so good to read about characters that are realistic, and I am glad this author brings a Bbw to life. Definitely would love more characters that are Bbw, loving themselves, and knowing their worth.

Good read
I love a good and long standalone that covers years. I liked the bond that The sisters shared. Reece and Gunz really played themselves in the end!

Soooooo good
When I first started reading this book, I felt like it was for a younger audience. But I kept reading and it took us from their teens, to their twenties, to their thirties. This book took you through the ups and downb of young dumb love, toxic love. Keena was a young funny behind Gunz. He was such a toxic cheater. Ruby wasn't playing them games with Reece. She told him when I catch you you're going to see another side of Ruby... And once she caught him it was nothing nice. At first I thought that Gunz was biggest F boy, but it turns out that Reece was worst than him. I was so happy when Breeze stepped into the picture and showed Ruby how a man is supposed to love his woman. I'm also happy that Keena finally woke up and stopped messing with Gunz. I just knew that one of them where going to kill the other in behind all of the cheating and toxic behavior. This is my first book by this author. This will not be my last because this book was so good.

Loved It🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nikki I must say this book awesome from beginning to end. When the book started out I was team Reece, I just knew he was gonna be different from Gunz but it didn't take long for him to prove me wrong. The things he said to Ruby broke my heart I'm so glad she wasn't a weak woman. Breeze came in and gave her the love she deserved. Now for Keena she was to weak or should I say loved to hard in a relationship by herself because Gunz meant her no good he was a dog their whole relationship. I glad she finally realized she had to love herself first and I do believe CoDee is what she needs glad she finally giving him a real chance. Awesome Book keep up the great work.

Them Davis sisters
I think the book was good. I love how different Keena and Ruby are but they are close and have each other’s back regardless. Evelyn “Ev” Davis ain’t raise no fools or no punks. Well Keena was a fool for Gunz for too long but she played her games too. Everyone knew how the Davis sisters gave it up and a few people still tried them but soon found out the hard way. My issue with the book is it read like a run on sentence. It would start out as someone talking but you couldn’t tell when it went from the person talking to them just having a thought in there head. Once i realized that was just how the book was written, I was able to differentiate between actual statements verses thoughts.

This book was good but it it kept throwing me off because it kept going from character different characters back and forth and all the drama. Reese started off pretty good I understand him being young but he ended up being such a disappointment and his mother was trifling as all get out. Gunzs was just a hot mess all the way around. He didn't know what or who he wanted he just wanted to have fun and have sex with any and everybody and because Reese couldn't have Ruby under his wing like all the other groupies he was ended up being the same way. I'm glad her mother and sister were very supportive of her I wish it was more to Keeana and Codee and they would have ended up getting married but all in all Ruby got her have whatever after with a real man

i dont know where to start!!!! i feel in love with how smooth of a read this book was, but it wouldnt be Ms. NIKKI TAYLOR if she didnt put her foot in her books! if i could rate for than 5 stars i would! Ruby founded love and i love that for. her sister should have been left gunz once he was behind bars. he was NEVERRRRR loyal and his side kick reece both made me mad. they ARE WEAK EXCUSE of men. i wanna know the back story of reece and his "wife" he need to take her back where she came from from with her weak self. Keena need to stop playing with CoDee boy heart and let a real one love her the RIGHT WAY!! BREEZEE HOOEEEMYYGGAAWDDDDD!!! I LOVE HIM :)

Hmmmm let say this was a complete book and I enjoyed it. I miss a bit of interest from about 44%-48% but came right back round, beyond a few typos this was a very well written book. I will say thou that these characters(except Ruby Hindrix,OGEV and Breez) really needed to grow up even after life events and repeat offences these people stay selfish and immature. However you will be invested in the book so it will keep you going. I would love a fellow up on them but am also cool with the end.

Ruby and Keena got cheated on for more then half the book. They KNEW they were getting cheated on yet stayed, which was dumb. Its even more crazy because they constantly said how their mom raised them not to be dumb over a man but they were. I actually didnt finish it i skimmed just to see what was going to happen. Keena ended up sleeping with Gunz AGAIN after she was doing somewhat better for herself. I dont like reading books where the mfc has no backbone and this was one of those books.
the grammar was horrible and lots of spelling errors

Ok read.
First book by this author that wasn’t 5 star for me. Beginning of it dragged and then the ending was rushed. There are so many unanswered questions. Book had potential but fell short due to repetitive stereotypes/toxic cycles. I was over it after awhile. You don’t see any change in Reece and Gunz. Maybe that was intended. Codee and Breeze seems to magically appear and all is well. Would have loved more of them.Loved that Ruby wasn’t weak minded and Keena found her backbone.

Okkkkkay
Just when I thought she called it quits, true love prevailed! I’m so proud Ev raised those girls to be as strong as she did. I wanted more for Keena, but she was so blinded by love! Love that never grew! Ruby showed me “if putting your foot down” was a person it would be her! Ladies never allow a man to play with you publicly or behind closed doors; always believe in your gut! I’m so glad they found boss ass grown men! Breeze & Ruby forever #IwantthatkindofLove

Awesome Read
This book was very good. I love how a bbw was portrait of a mans affections. I love how confident Ruby was and didn't allow a man to tear her down. Kenda was not for any games and she let her man know that also. Reece and Gunz were a trip but thats how it is. Never being faithful. I love how Breeze was a breath of fresh air and he demanded something different from Ruby. Great job author

Overall, the standalone was pretty good! This is a group of people that a have a lot of in resolved issues. Gunz and Reece have difficulty being faithful to women. Happy Keena found the strength to leave Gunz; too toxic. I did not want Reece and Ruby to get back together. Reece was the most selfish out of the group. He wanted so bad to control Ruby but she was strong enough to stand of her own values and wisdom.

Real Men Do Real Things
This book was so good, I liked Reese at first I knew he was to good to be true. I was so glad Ruby didn’t take his butt back he told her some hurtful stuff. I’m glad she found Mr. Simms he was the definition of a real man. I wish Keena wouldn’t have kept letting Gunz back in he didn’t want to do right. I will recommend this book to my friends.
