Turned Out By His Hood Mentality 3

Rate this book
The finale. The closure. The moment we’ve all been waiting for. Since the very beginning, we’ve witnessed Billionaire and Normani’s beautiful love story unfold. Many people had their doubts about the couple because they were complete opposites, but the crazy thing is that their differences are what makes them so unique. We’re all wishing for Normani and Billionaire to get their happily ever after, but with the stunt that Pastor Davidson has pulled, will it happen? Then, there’s Twinkle and Monterius. They could have been the perfect couple. Over the years, Twinkle has sacrificed a lot to be with Monterius, and she’s put up with things that the average woman wouldn’t have accepted. Every woman deserves to be loved and to be happy. Twinkle will get both, but who will be the lucky man? This finale will take you on a whirlwind of emotions. Family secrets will be exposed, bonds will be broken, new friendships will be formed, and loved ones will sadly be lost.

Billionaire has officially been added to the Diamond book bae roster right under Tana and Loco! I was always a fan of his but reading about how he and Normani got their start was everything!

Pastah Davidson deserved way worse than what he got!

I’m glad Twinkle, Monterius and Sidnesha all found happiness! Sometimes you’re just not meant to be with folks off the strength of the history you share!

Denim still an ole bitter b*tch and why?!

I can’t wait to read about the wedding as well as Loyal’s glow up!

One thing about Diamond she’ll redeem characters. I love how solid Billionaire and Normani we’re together and even though opposites attract they brought out the best version of themselves. Call me petty and childish but I don’t understand Monterius got his happy ending with his bm but oh well as long as him and Twinkle aren’t together. God is just on Denim side but I’m not a fan of women like her.

Billion and Normani went from judging each other as not the others types to being madly in love. Twinkle called it too 🤣. I’m glad she was able to get her HEA with Trust. Denim should have died idc that bxtch was miserable and trifling. Twinkle ex getting an HEA was not needed he should have suffered some more.

This was a good series...

***May contain spoilers*** I really enjoyed Billion and Normani’s story. ... still can’t stand Denim or pastor Davidson. I still really want to know who the brother is. I would definitely recommend this series.

Great ending

This series were sooooo good. I loved that no matter what Normani and Billion stayed solid and didn’t let anyone come between them. Twinkle got her HEA and I was so happy she didn’t settle and put up with toxic BS. The only thing I had an issue with was Monterius he didn’t deserve a happy ending (I’m petty). I’m so glad that Normani’s made all her dreams come true.

A huge disappointment, yet because of Billion it wasn't too bad!

Well this was the finale and as much as I have been stalking this ending, I did come out a little bit disappointed by it.
First was from Twinkle/Truth/Monterius/Trinity saga... Now why would you have us read two books in, learn to understand these characters (Twinkle and Monterius) and yet you didn't finish with them? What was the purpose because the rightful thing to have done should have been on book 2 have us learn about Truth and Trinity and still have our original players be together because come on, why have us go through all of their pain and aches and they didn't even ended up together, but with two complete other people that we don't know nothing about.
Second why couldn't Denim and Pastor Davidson get a full visit from karma? What was the moral behind this? Because Denim is still doing shady things and the Pastor is still not complying or bending a knee?
Third, why introduced Mia when nobody can get together as a whole? I mean same with the first issue, what was the point? We don't know nothing, do not have any POV and not a peep from her man who is supposed to be this big man out there and yet Twinkle has to be divided because one side can't get with the other side?
These three issues threw me off completely because that was not what I expected at all. I thought, Twinkle was going to be back with Monterius because he did this 360 and realized that his life is nothing without Twinkle in it, then there won't be the issue of Mia and Trinity and the gang will stay tight and close as family with Askya coming along afterwards. For a finale there was too much uncertainty going on and simply focused on the baby mamas and that was not how this book started it out and it certainly finished in the wrong lane.
Now Billion stayed bae all the way and even though he was extremely rough around the edges, he learned how to work around his good girl mentality. Normal i.e. Stayed also true to herself with a little bit of twinks and annoying little drama, but she was good as well. Mama, did her thing with the Pastor and that was a plus. My biggest smile came when Sidnesha grew up and moved on and Lil Billion approved.... That was cute and for once perfect where the baby mama just moved on...
Now. Let me go finished up with Huncho and Askya so I could breathe....

YAAASSS HONEY🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!!!

Bay-be Queen Diamond did her thang with this finale.
That damn Denim crazy a** spent 3 months in a damn coma and you would think after all the sh*t that went down she'd have a new outlook on life, NOT. That miserable vindictive bih seem to have gotten worst😔. The hateful ish she says about Normani just screams jealousy and envy cause she got the man, ring, and baby without having to lie to get it🙄. Like how you get pistol-whipped to an inch of your life and not wanna change your ways? If not for yourself, for your daughters and the baby you're carrying who's listening and watching. Smmh😔. To think I felt story for what Reggie did you her.
Reggie got what he deserved.
Fake Pastor Davidson most definitely got EVERYTHING he deserved after how he treated Normani & Billionaire, but most importantly how he took everything in the divorce including her clothes, jewelry, and even her married name😡🤡. He was a true piece of sh*t and everything he accused Billionaire of being.
I'm so happy Twinkle followed her heart and gave Truth a real chance at making things right. That man loves her so much and she and Dream deserve to have a man who's committed to the on every level, who's willing to put their needs above his.
Thank God Monterius got his sh*t together👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I'm actually happy for him and Trinity cause sis was not playing with his a**😂. Her apologizing for her part in hurting Twinkle was commendable.
So, so happy for Nesha & Chris. She definitely deserved her HEA and her son deserved to see his mom loved on the correct way💕
What happened to Uncle Malcolm was tragic and heartbreaking😢
Momma Davidson got the ultimate pay back, when she decided to walk away from the fake a** marriage and live for herself. God blessed her ten times over💕
My favs, Billionaire & Normani💕. Their love was definitely tested on all ends and despite both of their stubborn a** attitudes, they proved all the haters wrong, especially her moons ex-husband as she calls him, lol. I thoroughly enjoyed reading their story and watching their love progress💕
IT'S DEFINITELY A MUST READ🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
LET'S GO SPIN-OFF💕
I had to come back, because I forget to address Chance bit** a**. He was a different type of ain't sh*t a** ni**a🙄😒. Like you ghost your motherfu**ing daughter cause you don't want her telling her Auntie and momma that yo trifling a** not only has two other children but you're married too😳😒😤. A MOTHERFUDGESICKLESTIX 🤡!
I pray Loyal takes the necessary steps to forgive herself so that she can start to forgive their mom. Their mom seemed to have changed and she loves and adores Dream🙏🏽.

Nice very nice

This series is lit. I thought my babies was gonna be able to thug it out but it seems like their happy separate and with old flings. But it seems like trinity made Monty to be a faithful guy and didn’t step out I’m glad he matured and became a better man and father. Twinkle she grew up too so I hope truth keep doing what he’s doing and don’t hurt my girl again. It seems like the girls dad got his karma and had to move on completely outta the state u can’t be a pastor and wanna harmful things to people. It seems like Dee grew up just a little but still had her evil ways that she gotta out grow. I’m happy for neasha too. And last and not lease my favorite babies I was rooting for them all the way and they came out on top. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more books. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

Part 3

Nothing about this has changed my feelings on still loving these characters. Maturity was definitely showed in everyone but the crazy two Denim and Pastor. Both of them needed a reality check to see the error of their ways. Pastor definitely got his but I don't think got hers until she went into labor. She was expecting a different outcome but I honestly don't know why. They way Billion handled her was epic for real. Normani also stood up for herself just like Roheem said she would. I was definitely on the fence about Twinkle still wanting to be with Monty. I definitely understood her feelings but at the same time knew it would hurt her nee new relationship if she kept on. I actually liked Monty getting his stuff together for his baby mama and child. He know understands the error of his ways and how they could make him loose a good woman. Trinity is good in my book. Definitely a great ending to this series,!!!

Mannnnnnn

That was a really good story. I'm happy they Normani gave Billionaire and his thug ass a chance to show her a way to look at love. I'm also happy that Billionaire was able to be a stand up guy when it came to the daughter he thought was his. I'm hoping some young guy reading this can apply these lessons and pass them on so we can all flourish in black love. What I wasn't excited about was Twinkle and Monterius really breaking up although I know I would have done the same, however I was just mad that it was written this way hoping he and Twinkle would have gotten it right. I'm happy she found what she was looking for but I was really rooting for Monty.
Lastly I really don't want this book to finish, hopefully I can find more books with these characters or one just as entertaining.
Happy reading

This entire series was great. The characters were really developed so you got to know the why of their different behaviors.

I knew for certain that Billion and Normani would hit it off. They were #couplegoals. Opposites definitely attract. Billion was bae😘. He showed Normani a love like no other. His love and care for his children was commendable.

I am glad Monterious and his baby mams finally got to know one another and actually gave the relationship a chance. His growth was inspiring.

I was rooting for Twinkle and Truth from the moment we met them. He just seemed to be all about Twink and she deserved happiness and love.

I am glad Sidnesha got her HEA with Chris.

Denim is bitter and seems to want to stay that way.

Pastor is crazy and I hate we did not get to see him get what he deserved.

Great job Ms. Diamond.

Turned Out By His Hood Mentality 3 by Diamond D. Johnson is the final book in this series.
This has explicit sexual content and should be read by adults 18 and older.
The series reveals the strength and weaknesses of the characters. It shows the journey that each takes to either grow or stay stuck in how they go through life.
My favorite characters are Billionaire, Amandi, Twinkle, and Monterius and how they overcome their different situations.
Will others learn to set their preconceived ideas aside or will it let them destroy them?
This book truly gets into the characters and how they evolved either in growth or in their downfall.
Next book to read is Marrying My First Love by Diamond D. Johnson,

Nice And Sweet Conclusion!!

Normani daddy is greedy, evil, and conniving man. Her mama is a good Godly woman to pray for her ex-husband who put her through all types of h@££. For him trying to pay Saint to kill Billionaire was ridiculous. He ended up losing his family and congregation. He blamed Normani and Billionaire. Demin is is d@#n nut, she set her self up for failure by listening to Billionaire and his jail talk. Y'all wasn't even close like that. Monterius and Trinity are happy with their daughter. Trinkle and Truth are happy and got a baby on the way and marriage coming along, and Dream also. Nesha got her man and another baby boy. Normani got her shack and her family.

Don’t Waste Your Time

I don’t feel that a 3rd book was needed. I skipped so many pages throughout this book. There was so much unnecessary stuff added. If I had to read one more character describing what someone was wearing I was gonna pull my hair out. Certain characters in my opinion didn’t even need their own chapters. It really was just a waste of time. It seemed like the author just wanted to add drama because some of the things that happened throughout the story really did not make any sense or just seemed over dramatized and so unrealistic. I suffered through this series so others wouldn’t have to. Trust me, SAVE YOUR TIME!!!!

Loved it!!!

This was such a great series. Pastor Davidson was a bitter man who will probably never own up to his wrongs. His ex-wife was blessed because she kept the love of Jesus in her heart. Normani and Billionaire were perfect for for one another. Twinkle finally got a real honest love in Truth. Monterius finally settled down with the Chuck turned his baby mama Trinity and they ended up right where they were supposed to be. Denim woke up still bitter and miserable, but oh well. Synedra even matured and ended up with her HEA! Editing still was definitely needed but a great series! Loved how Billion loved Khari in spite of the truth and Reggie got his karma!

Must read!!!! Great ending to a 5 star series. I was glad pastor Davidson finally got a dose of his own medicine. I can't believe all the the things he was doing. Denim just worked my nerves. She should have done a 360 after what she been through. I was actually glad that monterius and twinkle was able to find happiness even though it wasn't with each other. I loved Norman and billionaire together. I loved the fact that sky and huncho made an appearance. A must read series!

Absolutely Amazing Read

Billionaire and Normani were beautiful together. You would have thought that after everything that Denim went through that she would have woken up with a new attitude. Neshia knew how to be mature and move on and that's why she ended up finding happiness. I'm happy for Twinkle and Monterius. Both of them found happiness elsewhere and their lives turned out amazing. Normani's dad deserves every bit of the karma he receives. Can't wait to read the Christmas book on the couples from your last two series. Great ending.

Good series

I enjoyed getting to know these characters. I really want more of Truth and Twinkle. They turned out to be my favorite couple. I am happy Twinkle didn’t settle for Monty after all the pain he caused and I am glad she is just cordial and not friends with him. He doesn’t deserve her friendship and Trinity deserves more than being a default but I digress 😂 Normani has come a long way with her naïveté. Her dad turned out to be a real son of a you know what! Looking for to the Christmas special with these characters and ones for the last series!

Great Series

A really great ending to a great series. Still enjoyed the storyline and these characters. Held my attention throughout the whole series and I hated to read the end. So loved everything about Normani and Billionaire and how they stayed true to each other. I wish karma would've dealt with Denim and Davidson more, cause neither felt they did anything wrong. Normani, was definitely turned out by Billionaire's hood mentality and his love. Highly recommend this series. Great job Diamond D. Johnson.

i love the way this author writes and I try to always read her books, after having a reading block when one book had me hurt and sad i quickly fell in love with book 1& 2 reading both in two days, book 3 was a little harder for me because it seemed slow in the beginning, towards the end the book picked up and I was able to quickly finish. I give 5 stars because everything about the book was well put no errors and the story made sense from beginning to end, she is still one of my favorite authors to read from.

Loved Ir

I’m glad everybody got a happy ending somewhat. Denim still delusional though hopefully she grow up soon especially with three kids. I’m glad Nesha got her own family and is happy. Monty situation was still weird to me cause he still would’ve want Twinkle if she would’ve been okay with everything. I’m glad Twinkle found a better man that feels no need to cheat but can love his one woman. I’m so sad the uncle died though especially after the talk they just had about females. This series was good and I can’t wait to read their Christmas story.

This series was 🔥

Billionaire was everything! Thuggish, chocolate, fine, and he treated his wife like a queen. I was hoping that Normani finally get to beat Denim disrespectful self up. Love that Nisha got here happy ending. Annoyed that Monterious got to move on a be happy so quick. Twinkle definitely deserve the happy ending she's receiving and I'm so ready to December bc I it's her wedding and we get an update on everyone.

Billionaire!!!! 🔥 🔥

I love me some Billionaire and Normani... They went through a lot but made it through the storms. Denim ass woke up with a nasty attitude. I'm happy forNeshia. I'm happy for Twinkle, I'm glad she moved on from Monterius. I guess I'm happy Monterius found happiness too. Normani's dad got what he deserved. I was so happy to see the characters saved by a real one. Great series!

I loved it

Diamond johnson gave a different outcome a more realistic ending for twinkle and Monterious . Even though woman do except an outside child when the relationship was on break. Now I loved Billionaire and Normandi relationship. Billion love for those kids is a dream father. Pastor got what he deserved absolutely nothing. Mom got what she deserved everything. Great cameo from Askiya and Huncho.

Very powerful book and message

I loved how billionaire never strayed from his feelings for anyone not even his weakness (Normani). This book flowed so well, the characters were well thought out and everyone had their moments. I wished twinkle and Monterious would’ve stayed together, or worked it out. But I understand twinkles logic too, from experience I know how she felt.
I feel like this was a awesome story, but every book I’ve read of diamonds has been equally great.

Most definitely a must read

I can finally breath. The way Billionaire and Normani balanced each other out I loved that. This whole series was bomb. I love the growth of each character all except Denim and So called Pastor Davidson. Book two shocked me with this so called man of God. Book three just straight took my breath away with what this man put his family threw. I thought it was bad with how he treated his daughter. But nope this dude was straight the devil.
