Serenity and Jax: A Houston Hood Tale
All Serenity wanted to do is sing. Having one chance to make that happen she takes it, making a decision that follows her and not for the better. One person holds her career in their hands but when he threatens to take it all away, and expose her secret, how will she fix her mistake and keep being successful in her career? Jaxson owns his own security firm, working with high-end clients is nothing new to him. That’s until he’s hired to work for Serenity. With a crazy, stalker fan after her, she fears for her life. The two of them instantly notices a connection, until a life-threatening event happens. Parker is Serenity’s best friend and lead dancer on everything she does. Being the carefree, wild girl has always been Parker. That is until she runs into one of the hottest rappers in the industry, Yung. Yung is rude and doesn’t care who he offends, with girls constantly throwing themselves at him, a baby momma who won’t let go, and his career at its high he doesn’t see himself settling down anytime soon. What starts off as something fun for the both of them quickly begins to become blurred. Will Parker be enough to make Yung change his playboy ways and finally settle down? Maya is all work and no play until she meets Troy. The two seem to be on the same page until one phone call from back home has Maya questioning everything she thought she would have with Troy. Join these couples and see how they handle the scandals, secrets, fans, and drama that surround the music industry all while trying to find love.

Tay Mo’Nae never disappoints. It was a real page turner and I couldn’t put it down. Serenity is living her dreams but she still so broken. Troy was just what Mya needed to stop being so uptight. Yung like most wants to have his cake and eat it too but Parker is not with the sh*ts.

Serenity and Jax
Serenity being afraid to let people in caused her a whirlwind of problems. Tony was a whole bitch and got what he deserved for playing with peoples careers. I really liked Jax and although he dropped the ball once, he really did have Serenity's best interest at heart. Tiffany irked me to no end by doing the most. Troy needed to be punched, not only for the situation back home but also how he handled Mya during the time. I felt bad for Mya but I was glad she got another chance to experience what she'd recently lost. Lola was beyond thirsty. Parker and Yung were something else. They both caught feelings but Yung's ways played a part in their break. Sasha tried it but Yung wasn't even going for the disrespect. She was pitiful but I'm glad Parker and Yung got right in their situation. I loved reading about all the couples and the drama surrounding their relationships.

Okay, okay!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I think this is my first ever read by the author and she delivered. Every character was well developed and captured my attention. Everyone had their own issues, drama, details that set them apart and made them interesting. Idk who was the worse ninja, Troy, Tony, and even Yung at times. Tony could kick rocks tho. And I’m glad Yung got it together. My girl Serenity had it going on. Can’t keep a real woman down. She pushed through it all and she got her happy ending. I loved Jax from the beginning. He just exuded sex appeal, strength, and a protective nature. And good for Mya standing her ground. That’s right, sis. Somethings you just can’t come back from. I’d recommend this book.

Good Read!!
I loved Jax and Serenity they were the cutest. Serenity kept allowing Tony to play in her face and it was making me mad. Yeah he had a sex tape of them but who cares they were two consenting adults.
Tony was lowdown and I just knew he was behind the whole stalker thing and was just trying to scare her. I was shocked that it was Joey.
Parker made Yung’s rude ass crazy he was so used to females just taking what he gives but Parker had to let him know I’m not one of them. I can’t wait to read their story.
Mya know she still wants Troy. Yeah he didn’t have to handle her the way he did when he up and left and they way he reacted to her first pregnancy, I wanted to beat his ass myself. Mya girl you’re still sexing him so quit playing and get your man.

Loved the way this series started off and got better with each page. Can't wait for Tony to get exactly what he deserves and then some. So loving Serenity and Jax together and I love how he's so protective of her. Troy was trying to play both sides and his past is coming back full force. Troy brought Mya right out her shell and I love it. Yung needs to admit his feelings for Parker and stop be so hard, before he loses her. Next, is who's the stalker? For obvious reason it seems like it's Joey, but I know it's more twist and turns thrown in, Loving the suspense in this well written story. Job well done Tay Mo'Nae.

That Good Luvin Baby
I want to start by stating women like Jessica, Sasha, Lola, and Tiffany really urks my nerves trying to make a man want them and get stupid when they don't. Tony was a real piece of work and I'm glad that he got his in the end. I like Serenity and Jax together and how he stepped up to the plate from the beginning even going into protective mode against Tiffany. Troy should've valued Mya more because I don't see her doing more than co-parenting with him now. Parker and Yung are so good together and I can't wait to read their book next. I really enjoyed reading this crazy, drama filled book.

Good
I loved the story line of this book. I really wanted to fight Surenty in real life. She made me so angry not standing up for herself. Parker is crazy and I’m hoping she show Yung butt a thing or ten lol. I wonder what’s gonna happen to Mya she was just staring to do something?? I really liked this book but there was a lot of words that didn’t belong; example “she put her hair behind her hair” who read this and didn’t catch it several times? Just annoying when I know the author didn’t make that mistake that’s my only dislike. I can’t wait for the second one.

Good read but...
There were a lot of errors that distracted from the storyline. The plot is good and I really like the characters but as stated the errors were on at least every single page. I am going to read part 2 because it is a good story but hopefully the errors are less in part 2. The author.is talented and with a good proofreader she would phenomenal

Great Read
That was good. Tony is crazy and selfish. Serenity should have been talked to Jax about it. I hope nothing happens to Troy. I hope Jax gets to Serenity in time. I can't wait to see what happens in book 2.

Yes finally somebody laid hands on Tony. I was mad when Ren broke the fight up. My guy Yung is a hand full but I know Parker can tame his butt.
