Is it really a truce ?

My heart is full and un full at the same time . Finally . T. Styles can write a book , she got a way of pulling you in and satisfying you . Still have you wanting more and questioning all things. Somehow i got a feeling , that the war is far from over. Im hear for it all.

Truce!!!

Omg! The deception on the pages of this book! I really don't know how to grasp what I just read. Blaire aka Banks really had my heart in this one and in previous books, was my number 2 fave. My true boo Mason seemed to mature a lot and I am for it baby! It's some more craziness with this family to come. This I'm sure of and I can't wait. Keep bring that fire Mama T!😘

Gina did a lot of plotting to get what she finally wanted...her ethnic bloodline to take over her hair care business. Gina did not consider the fact that she would get what she deserved from one of her youngest grandchildren. 👏🏾 we are all glad about it. Mason, finally gets the version of “Banks” that he has always wanted but of course it came with a price of hurt feelings and scorned women...Mason wants a truce but it’s too late.

Amazing

Mason is a whole bitch for not telling banks who he truly is. Also I think the butler is glad Gina is dead. In the end I feel Banks gone hate Mason even more for me asking him believe he was a women instead of the man he wants to be. Mason also made the mistake in trying to kill his ex know they (his ex & baby momma) fixing to mess some shit up.

This series gets crazier and crazier...I love the build up of everything... I have always hoped that Banks could be the woman that Mason wanted him to be and they could be a couple... I mean they absolutely love eachother... There is no denying that at all... I mean look at everything they kept doing to eachother just to get the other ones attention... I can see if Banks just gave Mason a chance he would jump at the chance and do everything in his power to make sure he does not mess it up...
Although Gina was doing everything she could to make sure Banks does not remember his past... She may have just helped Mason without realizing it... But with everything building up and coming to a head... I just dont know what will happen...
Why is Gina doing everything that she is doing... Like what is her purpose... Why is she treating Spacey like she is... And look even Walid had a sense of what Gina was about... This kid was well beyond his years... And look what he just did... I believe it was on purpose... And what is up with the butler...
Just when it looks like things can finally get on track and be great... Here come Jersey and Mason's girlfriend to shake it all up... Now to see what will happen in part 9...

The saga continues!!! Good story. A page turning, thrill ride. Just when you think you've figured it out here comes a curve ball. Walid 😍😍😍😍😍😍 that little boy is something special. I am a Walid Wales fan. Or is it Walid Petit now? 😆 Shay is still annoying. I wish someone would kill her already. Derrick surprisingly has become more likeable. And that's rough for any of the Louisville men. Spacey & Minnesota, I knew that was gonna happen. Some 'Flowers In The Attic' 💩 don't know if there'll be a sequel but I hope so. I really love this series & these characters. And I need to see where this story goes with Mason & Banks Wales/Blakeslee Wales/Blaire Petit.

T Styles really....

Okay I was clutching my pearls but didn't have on any. All I can say is without spoiling it this was some ish... Mason and Banks always doing something. The grandmother got what she deserved finally. The twins one is devious but I love it. Another pregnancy which I think somebody else might be pregnant too after what Mason did. Too much to talk about but this needs 20 stars. This series got me all in my emotions every feeling you think of is there.Awesome wonderful fantastic I'm ready for more.....

Interesting Read

This series is so interesting. I'm waiting for Banks to come back because his life was hard enough with out his grandmother and Mason trying to mold him into who they think he should be. I'm still confused about grandma's motives. Why is she even doing what she does to everyone. The Wales and Louisvilles are all dysfunctional. Then what's the deal with that 4year old Walid? He's not normal and what he does is not the actions of an old soul. He's coming off as creepy. All in all, this series is a must read.

Mason, Mason,Mason!!!

The lengths he will go to be with Banks. I bet she pregnant. I truly love this series and wish they would really just get married and get it over and done with, but what would be the fun in that. Waiting for the War between Mason, Jersey, and Derrick. I think Derrick wants Banks to stay Blaselee as well. Damn good. It seems like this series gets better and better.

This War is stressing me!

This War is the business! That dang Mason want me but him like a fish I tell you😠! He doesn't know the meaning of trust & loyalty. His boys suffered because of it too. Jersey finally found her backbone on 💀 island & bosses up to Mason. Where is Preach though? He's not a punk, so where'd he dip to? And Banks......I'm going to hold my breath until 9 comes out soon I pray because the suspense is stressing me out!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhhhh lol

Man T.Styles Got A Wicked Sense Of Thinking How The Hell Did She Come Up With This? But This Is A Crazy Book Like The Rest Of The WAR Series. Mason Just Wants His Opportunity For Love With The Love Of His Life And I Understand That But He Going About It The Wrong Way. He Know Damn Well Banks Would Kill His Ass If We Hadn’t Lisa His Memory. But I’m Glad Walid Did What He Did. That Little Dude Saved His Whole Family. Now On Yo Truce Two

Cold blooded

I can’t believe Mason would keep banks as Blair even though it’s been his life long dream smh the loyalty is def questionable. I don’t like dasher and jersey, they just too messy. I’m also confused as to why the kids keep saying they’re not blood when they have the same sperm donor, including Shay. I get the feeling Minnie and spacey were doing more in the attic and tried to have an excuse for it. I’m glad Gina got what she asked for, a big old hug by my boy walid

A disappointing series

Where is this story going? Seems as if the author is just floating around to see what she can dream up. Mason actually appear to be "nice" in this book, but we know he's anything but.... I'm not sure I want to read the next one. I hope she end it soon. By the way, four year olds can't be as sinister as Walid is.

Loved It!!!!

I love this love story and I can't wait for book 8.
I'm straight rooting for Banks to come back, although Blair is cool, she is not going to truly be happy until Banks returns.
