She Softened Up The Hood In Him #2

The One Who Stole My Heart 2

Rate this book
Benny Watkins awoke feelings in Sarai Simmons that she thought had died long ago. In her mind, she’d experienced love once and was never going to experience it again. She was too fragile to find true love again. Too fragile and too scarred. Now proven wrong, Sarai is focused on her growing relationship with Benny and progressing in her career. But still wanting to know the reasons behind Kenza’s sudden departure out of her life, Sarai is determined to find answers to her questions. Is Kenza willing to answer her though?Meeting Sarai was unexpected but a dream come true for Benny. He never wanted to be in a committed relationship until he’d met the ambitious beauty. However, just when things are getting stronger and deeper between them, Benny realizes his major role in breaking Sarai’s heart, five years ago. He is the reason for her past heartache, pain, and suffering. With his terrible secret hanging in the balance, Benny finds it difficult to juggle his emotions as he is torn between loving Sarai but also feeling guilt at taking her first love away from her. Will he be able to come clean to Sarai about his heinous crime, or will he try his hardest to take it to the grave?Unfortunately, Benny’s shocking secret is only a fraction of the long list of secrets hiding in the dark. All things done in the dark eventually come out into the light one way or another. Secrets are about to reveal themselves, and the lives of everyone are about to be changed forever.

OMG😮😮😮

Now book 2. What can I say Miss. Jenesequa you have done it again. I knew Lu was no good and to allow Jaylen to think Benny was beating her was crazy but what got me was the cliffhanger, Kenza cousin leaving that message and Benny inside the building or did he change his mind and left because no one seemed to notice his car parked or gone, I hope he's not inside because this one will definitely take Sari out, what she felt for her first love was nothing compared to what she is feeling for Benny, I need book 3 now pls.

Now, I know Benny didn't get caught up in the fire. Sarai has the right to be upset, like Jaylen and Benny explained her man, Montana was a snake and a thief. Akeel is going to kill Kenza since she was setting him and Benny up. I didn't see their so called "Pops" Marshall had that much hate. Read for part 3, Akeel and Zeus is going to make the city feel them.

Speechless

Wowww. I’m really speechless. To know someone that trust you with everything, in life can stoop so low to see you fail and down bad is just appalling. I would have never guess Marshall was that way.
Happy that Benny and jaylen worked through their problem.
I’m hoping Benny went to sleep in his car and not the shop.

Wow!

Miss Jenesequa you have done it once again! This book is hot. I wonder if Ak will forgive Kenza. My heart breaks for Benny because he really really loves Sarai. What's going to happen when it gets out that Marshall is working with Luana ?

There are so many snakes out there. Dang. I really hope Benny is ok. Akeel shame on you for not seeing the snake in your house. 4 stars because the timeline between both books doesn't add up.

That ending..

Wow that was a roller coaster of treachery. This book was very good. There were a few typos here and there but it did not distract from how entertaining this story was.

You can't trust Anyone

I didn't see that happened. I pray that Benny is fine and I can't wait for Lulu and her uncle to get theirs. Always thought money was the root to all evil but his appears that jealousy is worse.
