Phresh & Nykee 3: Loving You Past The Pain

Rate this book
Nykee’s life had always been about making decisions, and she had made the worst one this time around. Aware of the type of man Martinez is, she put her fears aside and stepped to him in hopes of getting Phresh out of the Cartel for the sake of their expanding family. What she didn’t know was how ruthless and cold-hearted, Mr. One Eye was, but she would soon find out. 



Confused and beyond upset with her decision, Phresh once again places his life on the line to save Nykee and their unborn child. With drama unfolding around him and secrets coming to light, he’s reminded that he can no longer trust the people closest to him; family included. What he does know is that Martinez must pay for the hell he has put him through, and Phresh isn’t going down without a fight.



With enemies lurking in the background wanting to see the couple fail, a few jealous people will stop at nothing to seek revenge. In this fast-paced finale, Phresh and Nykee’s love for one another is tested on every level they could imagine. Will they be able to return to the life they once knew without one another or will they learn to love each other past their pain and faults?

Amazing but I need a spin-off

Awww I'm going to the crew!! I really enjoy Nykee and Phresh. They were so funny but loving. However, can we get a spin-off for santanio and meelah bc they story is left untold and I still want some more Phresh and Nykee in my life. Amazing series and you cant even tell two people wrote it bc if flow so nicely.

I GREAT WAY TO BRING PHRESH & NYKEE STORY TO AN END THEIR MOM PLAYED NO GAMES ABOUT HER BOYS I HATE THE WAY SHE WENT ABOUT IT BUT IN THE END IT WAS WELL WORTH IT... LATRICE WAS DOING THE MOST FOR NO REASON AT 1ST .. I LOW KEY WONDER IF HER BABY REALLY SANTINO AND LACI FLIPPED THE SCRIPT FOR SURE .. MEELAH SHE IS A GREAT FRIEND TO NYKEE BUT IT SEEMS AS IF SHE WAS SETTLING IN A SENSE I THINK HER AND SANTINO STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD BECAUSE HE NEVER MADE THE CHOICE OF WHO WAS GONNA BE WITH FOR GOOD JUST BECAUSE MEE WAS PREGNANT AGAIN MEANT NOTHING....

Sooooo I want to start off by saying I didn’t think Phresh and Nykee would be together with the way things was going with them I just knew it but you turned and I love how she was calling her wife even when they wasn’t married he treats her soooo good but let’s get to Meelah that winch started sleeping with Santonio and got pregnant lawdddddd I wish that he would’ve left Latrice for her I didn’t like Latrice she was to gullible and would do anything to keep a man but I did love the ending you are bomb for this series

Another 5 ⭐️ read!

Congratulations BriAnn and Bianca for such a great series. I can see many spin-offs from this storyline. Nykee and Phresh was such an amazing couple who grew in this series and loved each other immensely. That triangle between Santino, Meelah and Latrice was something else. He loved each lady for different reasons, but I loved him and Meelah together the best. Latrice was too insecure and had no drive. I was surprised at the way that Laci acted toward Nykee when she found out that Santino and Meelah had a relationship. It wasn’t like Nykee pushed them together and she went out her way to help Laci and her daughter. Now Mrs. Avilo was the bomb. She was able to take out the man that no one else could do. Great example of the lengths that a mother would go through for their children. I truly enjoyed this series and am looking forward to many more collaborations between you two young ladies. I would definitely recommend this series to others readers.

Great Read/Series

Loved this series and hated to see it end. Enjoyed this storyline and these characters. Held my attention from beginning to end. Full of drama, lies, secrets with so many twist and turns, kept me wondering what's happening next. Loved how these characters were developed. Phresh, came along way, loved his growth throughout this series and Nykee was there to help him through it. Gabrielle, definitely didn't expect that, she protected her son's at all cost. The love triangle Santino, Meelah and Latrice....I think it needs to be continued. Mee is pregnant again and it's something about Latrice, plus had me wondering her baby was born early...storyline. Tati, crazy self got exactly what she deserved. I need more ladies. Highly recommend this series. Job well done Bianca and BriAnn Danae

Tati had some serious issues and allowed her jealousy to cause her to lose more than just her friendship with Phresh. I didn't feel bad for her at all because she should've accepted things for how they were instead of trying to change it to what she wanted. I was surprised at Gabriella's secret but through all her mistakes she finally redeemed herself in the end. Santino was on some other ish and was much like Mateo. Latrice nagged too much and I think she was just looking for someone to take care of her. I definitely want more of Meelah whether she's with Santino's trifling ass or not. The way Phresh checked Nyles though! Nykee was hardheaded but I liked reading about how the love she shared with Phresh continued to blossom. They experienced a few curveballs but still managed to overcome them all. I was disappointed in how Laci reacted but some friendships aren't meant to last.

Sad it's over

I read this series in 2 days could have been 1 it was cool reading about Phresh and Nykee, she also reminded me of my Best friend it's was so crazy. This wa some of the few that was almost too real for me there was so much of this book that took me to memories as well as made me reflect on a few things. I love how they met and continued to have Run-ins. This is a great story for women to read I think it helps to keep the image of not having to feel like you have to stick to a relationship just bc your content we have to remember we have 1 chance to enjoy life and live as happy as we can, that's what I took from this story. Thank you to the authors it would be so sweet if there was another book waiting to be published I know most would agree it would be a delight to continue on the journey with Phresh and Nykee

Wanting more

Let me say first I think a Christmas novella would be fantastic for this family!! I love the characters all of them actually because the drama kept the love scenes balanced. You couldn't even tell two people were writing it flows so well. Meesha was help for giving Santino any play but damn it was a fun read. Latrice was actually sad and pathetic but all the way real about not leaving her man. Nyk is my girl period and Phresh there's no words for the love I have for him. From day one it's been about her!! Loved it and connecting all the brother's was on point, I really liked Tony and knew he would play an important role. Very good work and story line but I'm wanting more.

What a fantastic series!

Loved it! A definite must read from beginning to the end. I could not put this book down. Great storyline, fantastic execution! Mann, Santino,this man is something else. Hoping to see a spin off with him and his baby mamas. (Hint, hint😜😜) I would also like to hear more about the other brothers as well. I see this having many, many spin offs.... I hope I don’t get giddy😜😜😜. I didn’t however, hear/read anything about Nykee’s sister in this part of the book. Would have liked to know about how her failing married life progressed. Fantastic job! Fantastic collab!

Great Collaboration

This series was a collaboration for the authors. I really enjoyed the development of the plot and the characters. OMG I loved Phresh and Nykee’s relationship. The intimacy scenes in these series were phenomenal. I really didn’t foresee the plot twist coming with Martinez. Great job with that it was refreshing not being able to predict the the plot. I hope you ladies consider giving us at least one more novel to give an update on Meelah, Latrice, and Santino. I liked there chemistry but how Santino were able to compromise between the ladies. But I would love to read more bout this past and his final choice.

LOVED IT

Thank you for a great series. Very well written and with characters you grow to love. I loved Phresh and Nykee from their first encounter to the relationship they were able to form with each other. Through the ups and downs Phresh was that breath of fresh air and a true mate for Nykee while Nykee was that strong independent woman who will love her man unconditionally that Phresh needed. They definitely complete each other. As for Santino, Latrice and Meelah, that's one crazy love triangle i wouldn't mind reading as a spinoff. I do believe that Santino'sheart lies with Meelah. Highly recommend reading this series.

I hate it had to end...

I loved this collaboration. Phresh and Nykee we're hilarious. I wanted more of Santino and Meelah, but the way they were written in, made it that more interesting! These are two of the hardest working authors, because in the midst of this book, they were constantly releasing their own separate books! I loved that dedication and this story was not left to hang. Each part picked right up where they left off and it didn't miss a beat! Great job ladies! What a great ending, too.

Interesting finish.... while it did appear to be rushed it was still a very good series. Laci had a whole lot of nerve getting mad at Nykee about Meelah and Santino. Nykee was a GREAT friend to her and Bella, and helped them out in a MAJOR way, Oh Well. Thiago was not playing any games with Nykee, he really was the man. Santino, is a whole honest fool, with 2 women and babies... He and Thiagos mom, wow was she sneaky as hell, but she did redeem herself, by playing along with Martinez. Too bad, they had to kill their father before she came clean. Meelah and Aiden need stories....

Plenty of drama

I've been waiting for part three and I wasn't disappointed. Phresh and Nykee go through plenty of drama in this story. I could feel Phresh's pain and hurt when truths are revealed about his parents. Santino is a character, and he got exactly what he wanted with Latrice and Mee. I want to read more about them to see how that plays out eventually. I laughed my tail off when Phresh met her parents, no biting of the tongue at all. He spoke unfiltered and with complete confidence and honesty. Happy that things works out well for the couple.

Great Read

I loved how the characters came to life on the pages. Nykee and Phresh chemistry is amazing. The twist and turns keep me on edge and I was rooting for the Avila family to win. I really liked the story line of this series and am sad it has ended. I hope we will see a series with Santino and Meelha. I need to know what happen between the love triangle. What happens to Latrice and Trina? Too many loose ends not to have a series for Santino, Meelah and Trina we also need to know what happen to Bella.

Smh

This finale had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Tati was certifiable! She needed to eat a snickers or something. I couldn’t get enough of Tino and Mee. They definitely need a spinoff. There is clearly still more to their story. Latrice was doing the most to me. Ain’t know way we about to be no sister wives! All because she is insecure Girlfriend. Phresh & Nykee were still my faves though. And don’t get me started on Phresh mama! Fantastic book

Nice ending

I enjoyed this book! Martinez definitely got what he deserved...still disappointed in Gabriella though. Phresh just a whole thug now lol Tino and this poly lifestyle Chile! You can’t be mad bc both ladies happily accepted. Although Meelah claimed she was just getting hers off...she was feeling him. Latrice sounds like she just needs a man. Too extra for me. I was so happy that Phresh put Nyles in his place!!! Good job ladies!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Even though Nykee and Phresh got on my nerves in this series,I’m glad that they finally got it together. I don’t even know where to begin with Santino and his situation with Meelah and Latrice... I will say that I hope to read about it soon🤞🏾 Tati was desperate and annoying, glad she got handled. I couldn’t believe what came out about Phresh mom, I was straight shocked. I’m glad they FINALLY got Martinez.

Lawd, what an ending!

This was a great story from beginning to end. I’m still curious about the love triangle and want clarity on how that worked out because Latrice was annoying and Laci was wrong for getting in the middle of it. I loved Meelah! She as just comfortable in her skin and that’s attractive. Nykee and Phresh sharpened each other and made each other better. Would love a follow up to them in the future.

Loved It

Bianca and BriAnn, y'all did it again. I'm so happy you have Phresh and Nykee able to overcome all of the trials and tribulations to be together. Now, y'all know you can't leave us hanging with Meeleah and Santino. Bring it on. More Phresh, Nykee, Santino and Meeleah. I see a new series y'all two.

This series was bomb

I still feel like its some unanswered questions. What to the cartel his mom owned? What is going on with the three way love affair? What happened to Mateo and Tony? I absolutely loved Nykee and Phresh. They were a bomb couple and the love was real. They grew together and learned together. Phresh played no games of Nykee. I just need tjose questions answered.

Now that’s the way to end a series...I absolutely loved it...each book just got better and better. I’m so glad how it ended. I could go for some more of Santino and Meelah...this is one of the best collabo I’ve read. This is most definitely a must read series. You won’t be disappointed at all...You ladies did the darn thing with this whole series...

This series was super awesome Lord knows I love me some Phresh because he’s crazy and lovable at the same time but even his brothers especially Santino was the bomb also... I think all the brothers should get a lil spin-off on their love loves it could be interesting... Great ending to another best selling series by two of my Fav dope authors

Good read 😍

I loved the Phresh and Nykee series and the finale was prefect. So much juicy drama and craziness kept me reading and I couldn't stop once I started. I loved Phresh and Nykee together. His obsessive love for her was so cute.. and I like the hard to get attitude she had. This is definetly a must read!

Loving Past the Pain

This series was everything! Phresh & Nykee went through a lot to be together. Jealousy,lives threatened,pain& everything else you can think of. It was worth the ride for both of them.
Just hoping Meelah & Tino get their series along with Tony & Mateo. All the characters have a story worth hearing.

Nykee and Phresh

I loved their love. Even though it was nothing sweet about their story, their love was super sweet and natural. I loved the way they stuck it out even when everything was against them. I loved this collab though from my two favorite authors. I hope we get another one 😍😍😍 Santino and his baby mama's plus Tony and Mateo as well!!!
