For these two sisters, love doesn't come easy. Bestselling author J. Dominique returns with a heart wrenching romance.
Gorgeous? Yes.
Ambitious? Definitely.
Looking at sisters Dream and Destiny Parker, they definitely do not look like what they’ve been through. And taking care of themselves is no object. However, the sisters met a set of brothers that can take care of them better than they can themselves, in all areas of their lives. Will the sisters let down their guards enough and allow the men into their hearts and lives?
Being the oldest, Dream has had her fair share of struggle; especially, when it came to men. Now, she’s only concerned with getting her and her sister’s business off the ground. So, the last thing she expects is the wind known as Elijah King to come blowing into her life, changing everything she thought she knew about love.
Love. Nothing to be scared of, especially for Elijah “Eazy” King. He isn’t the type to run from love—in fact, he craves it. At this point in his life, he is ready to settle down and have the type of love, marriage, and life his parents have. The type that lasts decades. Knowing that he doesn’t have this type of love in his current relationship, Elijah is used to hard work. And he is willing to put in the work to achieve this with her… until he sees Dream. Immediately taken by her, Elijah can see that Dream is everything that he wants, needs, and desires; the type of woman that he wouldn’t mind spending forever and a day with. However, Dream has a shield around her heart that seems to be impenetrable. Will he be able to break through the ice she has around her heart and acquire that love that he wants?
Although she is the baby sister, Destiny has been an adult for as long as she can remember. Not only because of their mother’s neglect but also because she is a young mother herself. Providing for her son has always been Destiny’s priority and she doesn’t take that lightly. However, it seems like she has a second child living with her since her live-in boyfriend allows her to carry both of their weights. Unexpectedly, her knight in shining armor, Jeremiah King, comes right in on time and rescues her and her son, causing Destiny to fall head over heels. However, the only difference is that the feelings return only one way.
Jeremiah “Juice” King is living his best life, due to his profession. Money. His choice of any woman he wants. Power. He’s never met a woman that he cares for or love besides his mother; he’s not looking for one either. So, the last thing he wants is an attachment… of any kind. However, the illicit package of Destiny and her son may be just what he needs—everything that he never knew that he wanted. With the world at his fingertips, will Jeremiah be able to give up his playboy ways for a monogamous life Destiny and her son?
I'm sitting on pins and needles!!!!!! It has gotten really good at the end... Didn't realize it was going to be a cliffhanger......Just read the damn book.
OMG!!!! I hope Juice and Yoshi are okay!!! I can not believe Jaylen was hating on Yoshi all this time just sad. Snakes be the closest people too you. I can not believe Easy acting a fool like this and treating Dream so wrong!!! I can wait to start part 2. This story is fire 🔥🔥🔥
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This was my first book from this author and I absolutely loved it. I devoured this book from beginning to end as there was never a dull moment in this story. Destiny, Jeremiah, Dream and Elijah left me wanting more of their story as this one ends with a major cliffhanger. Destiny and Jeremiah are funny as hell. I can't help but laugh out loud at Jeremiah's antics and although what he did was dirty, he let Destiny know what it was before everything went down. I'm loving Dream and Elijah but Dream defintiely had me yelling at her to not do what she was planning on doing. I knew it was only a matter of time before Elijah found out but the fact that she lied was a no-go. I Buddah and his sneaky and lucky cousin get what they deserve and even Jayden if he want's to be out here acting grown and bad. I can't wait to read how things play out especially, with Jeremiah and Yo'sahn. I'm defintiely looking forward to reading not only the next book in this series but other series from this author.
I loved this book! I need Part 2 now!! Buddha is a f-boy! Dre was a deadbeat. I figured he wasn't dead. Easy and Dream have discover the truth about her snitching ex. They are good together. Juice and Yoshu get up!!! Destiny needs you both! Love the characters and storyline! Great job!
Style: African American Urban Story: 3/5 Sexual: GOOD Enjoyment: 4/5 Male: Series: BOOK 1 of 3(cliffhanger)
This was different for me in the aspect of reading 4 POV in one story. Two sisters calls for 2 brothers, and I was throughly entertained. It definitely felt like a page turner and getting caught up in almost 3 different storylines (not confusing) Dream and Eazy, Destiny and Juice and the brothers’ empire. I laugh at some scenes, roll my eyes at others and got turn on with others.
Overall, this won’t be for everyone. If you are a fan of African American Urban, you know what to expect. Not a fan though of a 3 part book. Loose interest quicker but let’s see how part 2 goes.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s definitely about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the stories you read. I hope this review was helpful.
I have been eyeing this book forever and as soon as I saw that the last book, the 3rd and finale I think came out, that’s when I got the series and it was good. Dream and Destiny, two wonderful strong independent young black sisters went through every single hurdles and came out on top. Loyal, strong workers and all, they really set the bar up. Dream was calm and yet to naive and just whinny while Destiny was stronger, and a “don’t take anything lightly” woman. Elijah “eazy” and Jeremiah “juice” were the two MAN out there. Loyal, strong, gangster but with soft hearts and spots. Alpha and all they were both bae. Eazy was strong but very calculated while Juice was also strong but a fire cracker and a lightning strike. These four were definitely not a no opposites attract because they were all compatible and were the same in different version. So many snakes in between them, let’s see how it going to go but man bad that Grim had to like that but I do hope that Yo’Shaun and Juice are alright and that Eazy go easy on Dream.
Elijah aka Eazy and Jeremiah aka Juice King ran the streets and were straight bosses. Destiny and Dream were sisters trying to get to their dream of opening a Salon and Lash beauty bar. Destiny’s raggedy good for nothing boyfriend Dre owes those king brothers some doe and will sell his woman out if it gets him out of trouble. Destiny has had enough! It’s time for Dre to his the Chi town scold streets. Meanwhile Dream and Eazy meet under some unusual circumstances but when the ladies have a gift under their noses they cannot refuse. Dream and Eazy have a past acquaintance who is planting seeds when she decides to make that one time visit. Meanwhile Trell (brother from another mother) tracks Dream and informs Eazy. Pictures d words are worth a thousand. Destiny and Juice are stubborn it one night of passion may make them talk. Yoshan her son loves Juice and he cares about him. Buddha Is in jail, getting ready To be released but has the team questioning how? Lots of hating, lots of trust issues and how things are going to be resolved, help them that are involved! Great , great story!,, part 2
Destiny, Dream, Elijah ,and Jeremiah have no clue that their lives are intertwined in some way by two snake's. I couldn't do anything laugh at Destiny and Jeremiah. How they met wasn't funny because Destiny scandalous ass ex Dre put her life in danger bringing his mess to her home. Jeremiah was trying his hardest to fight his attraction for her but it was hard to. Especially because he took her son Yo'Sahn under his wing. Dream first impression of Elijah wasn't the greatest but it was funny. The two of them found themselves in a relationship. However Dream has a ex who can't seem to move on and Elijah has a mentor that turned out to be a snake. Dream also went behind Elijah back instead of being truthful. Now he is looking at her side ways. I don't see how Jeremiah missed Grim being a snake but it definitely cost him at the end and little Yo'Sahn was caught in the middle as well. Nothing good will come from Budda snitching ass being back out and he have help from someone they least expect.
This series centered around the two sisters and two brothers falling for each other and the ways they were unknowingly connected. The series had a few interesting characters, drama, conflict a good plot idea. While the story revolved around the makeshift couples, it didn't rely on any romance. There was random sex, but no romance or none that we got to experience save for the first date that Elijah and Dream went on a couple of weeks after meeting. I would have liked to see the couples develop the deep love they appeared to have for each other as most of the series was spent with them in turmoil. I have been able to connect with the characters and thus the scenes that should have been emotional would have been. Instead, they were a bit cold. The focal point of the series was the drama of every day living between the four characters and that's okay. It worked.
Yooo I did not see that ending they way it did. I was left shocked and speechless because I didn’t think Dre had it in him. But once Easy gets wind of what happened all hell gone break loose in the Windy City. I love Juice because he is definitely crazy. He needs to stop playing because he is definitely feeling Destiny but playing games. I love the relationship between Dream and Easy I just wished that Dream would have been honest and not sneaky. I thought it was dope how the brothers took Yo’Sahn under their wings and changed his mind about going down the wrong path but steering him to making better judgements. Please let Yo’Sahn and Juice be ok.
Man o man this was definitely a page turner!! Eazy is a prime example of what women want but then u got the unpredictable juice, causing mayhem while handling biz in da background. Destiny and dream really need good men since they have been through so much. Then u have budda with his lies and controlling ways creepin back into dream's life just because she doesn't want him. Juice butt hurt ova a decision he made in not letting destiny be his woman, but wanting her to be alone/with no one else. Who knew the problems you thought u got rid of will come back to haunt you!! Part 2 finna b explosive!!
That's what Grim a$s gets for turning on his people. Dre suppose to be dead and him and Snitch Bit%h think they about to rule the world. Please let my boo Juice pull through. I love his mean self and he need to just be real with Destiny. How he don't want her but don't want nobody else to have her either. Poor lil Yoshi, he's just a kid and I hope he alright or Destiny gonna lose it. I wish Dream would have told Eazy about her ex, now he gonna think she plotting against him to. I can feel a storm coming and I'm ready for it.💙💙
This book was really good. But I expected nothing less from Cole H. I can’t believe all the drama that’s about to take place. Destiney about to be sick. Dream and her visit about to shake up her relationship and let’s not forget about Budda and that punk ass Dre. Who would have thought? I live how everyone is connected. I know the King brothers are about to take a hit but I know they’re going to come out on top.
This was a page turner I need part 2 ASAP!!! Dream and Destiny are examples of not being a product of their environment!!! I’m just mad that fuck boys like Budda and Dre tryna start shit with their snitching asses!!! And hope that Yoshi survives and thy Eazy and Juice make this fuckers suffer!!! Great read!!!
Can’t wait to read part two! This definitely was a page turner. I really want to know whats gone happen with Dream and Eazy, If the kid and Juice made it, If they gone kill Jayden lil ass. Dream should’ve told Eazy what was going on, cause now his enemy has a few up on him, and Eazy still not up on everything. She should’ve listened to her sister.
Thus was my first time reading something from this Author. Totally enjoyed this book. Loved Dream and Destiny's bond and Eazy and Juice. Dream was a while F!@# Boy! And I know all hell about to break loose once everyone finds out Budda is out. Can't wait for Part 2! Great Job J. Dominique!!
Omg this book was crazy dope omg I cant wait till see what happens next I hope the kid and juice be already dream and destiny going to be so hurt this is crazy..I hope eazy find out the truth and see destiny had no involvement with budda crap he gots to go and juice need to ease up and stop being so mean and crazy..loved it
My first time reading this author i must say it was good. Who would have thought that destiny and dream would fall for brothers. And to find out that dream ex was Buddha but like destiny told her she should have told Easy about him. I hope that Yoshon and Juice are ok i can’t believe that Dre was still alive. Can’t wait for part 2.
I want an Easy or Juice in my life. I promise these brothers are everything. I hope Dream will trust that Easy really cares for her. I hope Juice will be okay so him and Destiny can get together. And I hope Yo'Shan is ok. This was my first read from the author. I love the story, it was very well written.
Omg i hope Yasaun an Juice make it. Destiny is bout to go crazy i cant believe Dre still alive. I really hope Eazy listen to Dream an not just jump to conclusions. I cant believe Budda is a whole snitch an i thought Grim was Eazy an Juice boy smh no one loyal. I bet Destiny pregnant by Juice too.
Man I feel bad that Eazy is learning the hard way that his mentor is a snake and that Dre is working with him. Now we can see how Juice and Eazy are tied to Dream and Destiny. I hope the brothers really show the Chi what they working with because Budda and Dre need to be taught a lesson
First read by this author and I’ve screamed, laughed, and yelled at these characters. It’s so much tom foolery and twists happening my head hurts. I’m loving the differing personalities between the brothers and the sisters, and how they are attracted to who meets their vibe. The cliffhanger had my chest tight! I’m scared!!!
Man that ending the hate is real and I hope Eazy get justice for Juice and Yo. Dream and Destiny need to Boss up frfr. Budda and Dre man can't wait for their outcome and it better be Good. Hurry up with part 2 read this book in an hour
The story was Urban Fiction and some ratchet up and down in this story. Brothers from the streets trying to romance sisters trying to be on a come up, doing their thing the right way, and finding it difficult.
This book was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 this is my first time reading this author but will not be my last!!! Don't won't to give away to much so I'm just going to say I hope juice and yo shan pull through and I'm really hoping dream and destiny get their happy ending when all this is over
This was a very good read. It pulled me in from the first page. I can't wait to read part two. Can't wait to see the outcome of the story unfolding. I know the second part of this story is going to be a bombshell.
Say it ain’t so! Dre needed all the bullets Juice thought he delivered. Dream bout to loose her future trying to close out her past 🤦♀️ and a pregnant damn Destiny
I didn't see that coming, at all. Mannnn, jealousy is really out there. Juice has fallen. He keeps trying to deny it, but his Destiny is right before him. I cannot wait for part 2.
