Wicked had never been in love before and never desired to be, but when he runs into a certain someone named Aubriella, he can’t seem to focus on anything other than her and work. However, not being ready for a relationship and not being willing to commit are two different things and unfortunately, Wicked struggles with both.
Aubriella is used to being alone and craves the presence of her own solidarity. But as soon as she starts to not only enjoy but crave Wicked’s presence, things get complicated. Upon realizing that she can’t have him, she falls back and decides to take the reins on the direction her life is headed.
However, it’s never that simple. When their hearts keep running them in circles around the other. Both Aubriella and Wicked find themself drawn to each other like magnets and just as they start to think they’ve figured everything out, and life is on the course, they so desperately wanted; a tragedy occurs that leaves their lives and relationship up in the air.
Wicked is bae...Aubriella was definitely down for him...Abriel being able to come home early was awesome...that Jenay was truly crazy for all of those abortions and claiming they were Wicked kids...Come on book 2
When two souls that don't know if want love is comes together. Unconventional meeting and what it grows into. Didn't expect that ending, but He may and crew better hope Wicked and Aubril don't make it!! Aubriella deserved her happiness and I hope she gets it!!!
All hell done broke lose and I can't wait to find out what's going on. Who is after them? Who is Jenay really? This was a great book and I feel so bad for Aubriella, Abriel Wicked and his mother. Abriel and Wicked gonna paint the city red if something happens to Aubri and Ms. Izzie. Jenay gotta be one jealous cunt to go through all this but I gotta feeling it's deeper than that.💚💚
This book wasn't for me. I felt like i was reading about 2 different women, how u go from being with a bum and letting him beat on you, cheat on you, to bossing up with a new dude the next few pages? Like why you weren't doing this with dude?It's almost like it never happened. I'm trying to figure out how Wicked know for sure she ain't about his money, they only spent one night together and idk the chemistry between the two wasn't there for me. Oh and I hate the whole "sweetheart" thing. Idk it wasn't enough Character development and I'm confused on some things, and then the errors.
This was a pretty good read... The storyline caught my attention right in the beginning and just pulled me in... It did kind of plateau and read as a steady read in the middle of the book... But as the book started winding down and coming to an end the storyline began to build up and had me sitting up pulling my attention back in... Now with this cliffhanger I really need to know how this is about to play out... I love Wicked... As I kept reading about him I began to understand him more and see that all he needs is someone to REALLY love him for him and not for what he has or what he can do for them... He never had that... He was just a gentle giant that everyone took for granted... Or just never got to really know him... Aubriella was a really good woman that was caught up in a really bad relationship... But little did she know that the worse day of her relationship with her boyfriend Bret would be exactly what she needed to get her life on track again... Everything that she worked for in the past is now paying off and all because someone was finally able to see her worth... She is a great woman and has an amazing relationship with her brother Abriel... Her brother was in jail but that did not stop how close they were... They had a lot of tragedy growing up but they always had eachothers back... Now just when family secrets start coming out and their lives are about to change for the better... Looks like they are hit with something big... Wicked was just finding out that he can have happiness and what it feels like to love and trust someone... Now this happens... Will he ever get to live his happy life that he deserves... Or is this the end because of Jealousy... One thing I can say is that it was something about his little fling Jenay that was off to me... She was way to obsessed with them being together... but why... As these questions are going through my mind and I am starting to get some answers... Now we have this... What is really going on with everyone... What secrets are they hiding and why... Well onto part 2 to see how this will all play out for everyone...
This was my first read by this author and I’m not disappointed. There was quite a few grammatical errors that didn’t take away from the book necessarily, but was very noticeable. Wicked(love this name btw) was everything, I enjoyed his strong, assertive, boss like character. He was introduced like a true boss and maintained that trait throughout the book. Aubriella was a great female lead though she didn’t have Wicked’s riches in the book she maintained this boss like demeanor as well. I don’t know about most but this was a win for me- there’s nothing I love more than a strong black female lead. Aubriella was that and more. I gave four stars because of the grammatical errors despite that I’m looking forward to part two.
This was a great read and if it wasn’t for the grammatical errors and some sentences going on with no period or comma, it surely would have been a full 5 stars. This whole crew was the bomb from Wicked who by the way is that MAN, to Aubriella who nothing like the synopsis had said about her to Abriel who sounds like a good guy to Vanity being a little bit extra to Janay who is due a huge visit from karma just as Brent got his visit early on in the story. It was a different writing style but since the gist of the story was cute it was ok to read... now on to the finale and see what will Wicked do...
This book deserves a 5 star. If I could give it more I would. Aubriella was such a breath of fresh air. She had a good head on her, she was intelligent, strong, and independent. Although, she went through the situation in the beginning all that showed was how strong she was pertaining to him.
I love Wicked, he is such a man afraid to love but when he realizes he does have this emotion he begins to enjoy it.
I don't want to say to much so I'll wait for part 2. But Excellent Work
Wow! What an ending! Wick and Aubrielle complement each other very well, and they try hard to keep things platonic but failing miserably. Jenay is the thorn in your side that just won't let go. She remains an unsolved mystery because even though you think you have her pegged, another loop unravels. I enjoyed getting to know Vanity, Izzy, and Abriel and they are great supporting characters. This is an interesting and drama filled story and can't wait to read book two.
This book was good from beginning to end. I was so into the story, that no didn't realize I'd finished. So love Wicked and Aubriella together and how their relationship is blossoming. They're exactly what each other needs to learn how to fall in love. After that ending, I can't wait for the next installment. Only drawback was some grammar errors, but didn't take seat from the storyline. Good job R. Michelle.
Just wow!!! From everything aubriella went through, down to what makes wicked, wicked. Loved the story of his greatgrandparents, almost wishing they had their own book 🤣. I love how aubri came into wicked's life and "took charge", and their friendship is genuine! Wicked has definitely met his match. Now with this whole incident, its finna be smoke in sa city!!!!
I know you freaking lyin!!! Ummmm... I really have no words. This book was very well written pertaining to the storyline. I have this book a perfect review because although it is a very laid back book, I can tell the next installment will give up more drama than you can imagine. I am very excited for 8/24 but i'm SPEECHLESS on that ending. This chick is more than a side heffa...
Wow what turn of events... The book started at page1, and kept the pace...just when out felt like the story was in route to hea... Everything happens...ughmmm I will say that this couple was and amazing balance for each other...he needed love and healing ,she needed love and affection...that end wow she kept telling him that janey was crazy We will have to wait for book two
I don't understand why Jenay going so hard scheming and setting Wicked up nor why she kidnapped Aubriella. I hope that Wicked and Abriel survive and that they rescue Aubriella from Jenay. I hope that Izzie, Vanity, and Beaux are alright and didn't get any attacks. Aubriella kept telling Wicked that something about Jenay wasn't adding up but he didn't listen and now they're paying the price. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the way that Wicked was so protected of Aubriella from the moment he first met her. The way they were drawn to one another and her loving him like no other woman had for him and not his money. I can't wait for Wicked to get a hold of Janay she needs to die because I see her as a big problem. Can't wait to read part two. Awesome job R. Michelle.
This book started off unbelievable. It made no sense why things progressed into him giving her money, a job and all that he did for her so quick. I thought I had missed a book or something. Most ppl in real life situations do not talk like they were and especially not like he was. And then She’s a cook but when he promotes her to 200K a year she’s able to contain her surprise and excitement??? I just could not go any further than the first few chapters.
Wicked should’ve listened to his mother instead of that part of the body that gets men in trouble. Aubriel knew something was going on with Jenay. I need to know who she really is. I hope the outcome is a good one for everyone’s sake. I don’t think his name is Wick by default.
A woman who can't take rejection is a woman who'll do anything for revenge. Aubri was living a great life with her new man and her brother. Wicked was all thee man any woman needs. I pray he gets to show why his name is Wicked. Jenay needs to be dealt with EXPEDITIOUSLY
The storyline is pretty good but there are some grammar errors. It also seemed like situations in the story happened a little too quick or seemed a little off. It wasnt a bad read overall and im getting ready to start on part two because i am intrigued and want to know what happens.
Wicked is such the gentleman. I love his take charge gentleman demeanor. The way he cares for his family is just what every woman needs. Janaey..man oh man..I knew she was trouble. Abrui will not let her get away with what she has done. Looking forward to Part 2
Nooo way!!! Omg wicked was the perfect gentleman who just didn’t know how to love. But getting ready to leave a business venture didn’t work out in his favor😩. I hope everyone pulls thru and I knew something was up with jenay!! The forensic tests never came back 🤔🙄😩. Great read
Aubri was a very good girl with her head on her shoulders who seem to get with losers. But she bagged a big time baller with long pockets and a very good heart! She and her brother was family to her boss and he treated them as such! This book is a MUST READ!
Ok ok first read by this author and I must say I’m impressed! I wanted to give this 4 stars due to some grammar issues and flow of dialogue (it seemed a little unbelievable at moments and forced) but all in all the story line and plot were good! Looking forward to the next books in this series!
So it seems like Janay is behind all of this smh. Wicked being shot, Aubriella being pregnant and purposely hit. I hope her and the baby is ok. Now for her sake she better hope Wicked lives and everybody is ok because it's going to be ugly and I can wait to read every page. Great read 🧡
This was a good story and just as it was getting good it ended. Dang it!! I hope things work out in book two . My only complaint is had some minor errors. Can't wait for book two.
Omg i hope they will be ok. THEY should have killed Jenay when that caught her an when she threatened them in the dr office. Now look i really hope they will get through this an have a happy ending.
I can't wait until August 24th to find out how everything is going to unfold. I knew He may was crazy. I didn't think she was crazy enough to pull this off. Like who tf is she and what type of pull does she have.
Omg. This book was so so good. I hope Aubri and her brother is safe. I have feeling the Jenay is involved somehow. Wicked needs to get better to save his girl and his child. I can't wait for part 2. Great Read.
Excellent read, just over too soon. Buying the sequel now even though it is 1:15 in the morning in NJ. All characters were more than interesting. Story line for all characters was POPPING.
This well written story has me hooked. I am so glad I ran across this book. I love the characters they are likeable,interesting, and more. There seems to be a big secret that needs to come to light.
