Chiiiiiiile, this hood soap opera is getting good! A Baller Has Feelings Too was something else! This book was full of drama, betrayal, and a plot twist I did not see coming. Stephan, Shaun, and the rest of the crew are not to be played with. Everyone knows this but, there are still a handful that try to test their gangster and have to find out the hard way. The story picks up seven months later after Stephan was shot and he’s recovered completely and back on the court shooting hoops. While out and about with Shaun, he runs into the angel with the beautiful voice. His description; not mine. Stephan is instantly smitten with Mariah and pretty much stakes his claim right there in the baby store. Mariah is a little more hesitant to start anything romantic. She’s raising her infant nephew after she loses her sister to domestic violence so, at the moment, she’s leery of men. Stephan is not a man you say no to. He pretty much wore down Mariah’s defenses and bulldozed his way into her and Xavier’s life. Once she stopped fighting her feelings and finally accepted her attraction to Stephan, it was on and poppin’. Their love story was truly sweet. I just loved how Stephan doted on Xavier like he was his son. Hell, the whole Smith family loved them some Xavier. That damn Megan was some kind of crazy. Her crazy was on a whole different level. Now, mind you, when she and Stephan were together, she was cheating on that man left and right. But, the minute he breaks up with her and moves on with Mariah, this heffa turns into a stalking fatal attraction. Keep in mind, Megan started dating Stephan’s teammate when he broke up with her. Girl, bye! Then, all kind of secret tea comes out about her past that we didn’t know about in book one. Whew chile! That Megan was Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! I don’t know who I disliked more in this book. Crazy azz Megan, backstabbin’ azz Lyric, or that disrespectful azz Debra. Nah, scratch that. I definitely disliked Lyric’s azz more. She was just so damn disloyal. I wanted that heffa to meet me in the streets. But, that’s okay because they all got what they deserved. I have to give it to the author. She really stepped up with this book. The N-word was not used as excessively and the writing was 100% better. This was the M. Monique I’ve come to love. I never thought I would get caught up in this kind of series but, baby I am hooked! Now, let me slide on over to A Hitta Has Feelings Too so, I can see what Dallas and Chloe are about.
