Check out how Mason and Nola embark on this thing called love and life and get reacquainted with Mila, Black, London, Zo, and the crew in part one of this new action-filled and jaw-dropping African American urban love story, From Bae to Wifey.Publisher’s This is book one of a two book series. Cliffhanger alert.
This was a good start to the series. Mason and Nola had an instant connection. The book was super chill then boom the last 15 pages had my jaw dropping. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I’m glad I have read the two prior books, even though the prior books were standalones, because all these characters appear in this book and have pivotal storylines and if you don’t know their background, you will be confused to know who they are etc.
Black and Mila were in the first book: Fallin’ For A Gold Mouth Boss. It was good to see Black didn’t change LOL 😂. Now Mila she came a long way, because she was an irritant in her own book! Hopefully, they can adopt Darrius because we don’t know what will happen to him with crazy Charlie and womanizing Chuck SMH.
Zo and London were in the second book: Married to a Gold Mouth Boss: A Standalone Novel. London sure didn’t grow up and still immature and not likable. She’s married and still holding important secrets from her husband Zo. With London in a depressed state she will place other people lives in danger because she’s beyond control and needs help ASAP. She needs to let Zo know how she’s feeling because he’s feeling helpless. Now look what happened and there will be consequences for London. Jesus take the entire universe to help London and hoping her daughter OK! Wiping sweat 😓 because lord London is trying!
Now Mason and Lola. Mason was living his best life with no care in the world with all these ladies! Meet Lola with her being young she was acting immature, and wishy washy. She was also an irritant. Mason got heat coming his way with his womanizing ways and one man (so far) gunning for him seriously and if they even pulled his family in their madness. He also have to deal with two psycho women and I’m waiting to see the outcome with Ava hmmm.
Lola is a runner and when there’s a hiccup with her and Mason relationship she runs and don’t seek answers! She should have known he was out there with all these women, but since they hooked up he has not been with any other woman, but his past is coming back to haunt him.
Something does not seem right with Terrance and just his entire demeanor is off! I’m waiting to see what will pop off with him in book book two.
The ending with Lola situation and what happened to Mason will be a hawt mess because the way Lola is in this book, she will think of the worse and blame Mason. Just watch!
The book starts on a high with pervert, old man Bobby getting Nola fired because she wouldn't sleep with him. She hits the back of Black's car that same day and meets Mason who gives her a pass by volunteering to pay for the damages himself. Mason runs into Nola again and hooks her up with a job at London's new business venture. More London than Zo are going through issues because of a loss and the book ended with London making another grave mistake. Mila and Black and Jaz and Flex are doing good relationship wise. Christian and Darrius have grown so close and I hope Darrius isn't caught in the crossfire of Chuck and Charlie's mess. I don't think that Ava's baby belongs to Mason because how she keeps avoiding the DNA test. I need for Theresea and Officer Jones to leave Mason alone and I think it was Officer Jones who shot Mason. It also ended on a high. This book has soooooooo much drama going on and I can't wait to see what happens next.
I know Ava didn’t just set mason up? She is the only one besides Terrance to seem to be having problems with and Terrance don’t really have any problems with him! I hope Nola ain’t having a miscarriage! She just now getting herself back together and happy and now she bleeding bad! I’m glad London got it off her chest why she was moving funny because all the drinking she was doing was getting in my nerves! Now she done messed around and got in a accident and had baby girl in the car with her! Zo about to pop her upside her head if they both make it! I don’t condone domestic violence but dang kinda in needs some act rite! And lord poor Darrius can’t seem to catch a break! I just hope Charlie killed herself and not shoot Darrius! I do t know how much more Christian can take! On to part two
Man nola been thru everything and wen ahe finally gets her break, all hell breaks loose. Ion trust terrance at all, he seem like he got the emotions of a scorned woman. I wish she wud tell mason about how terrance has been treating her...mason got so much goin on i dont kno wat to do! i love his relationship wit nola tho 😍 now wen my baes zo n black stepped on the scene, i knew it was finna get real..london got me heated wit her hiding stuff from zo...black still my same rude bae...lawdy charlie betta hope she missed cuz if anything happened to baby boy 💥 definitely great to catch up on the couples and kids...part 2 me cuz this cliffhanger is sumn serious!!!
This book was good from beginning to end and what a ending. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters and it was reading about the older gang. Nola, is all about her business and all alone, but then comes Mason. Who has so much baggage and way too much going on. But unlike them together. Those last few chapters, had me on edge wondering what happened with London, Nola and Mason. Also, please handle the Detective and his wife soon. Can't wait for the next installment. Good job Lakia.
Lakia really knows how to grab a reader's attention and hold it captive. I love Mason and it seems like he just can't catch a break from his past. Officer Jones gunning for him because his wife a thot and he just might have seceded. I hope Nola not losing the baby. That will just be devastating. I really wish Zo had got London some therapy because this may be something that she's not able to come back from. Please don't let Charlie be that stupid to hurt that child. I can't wait till part two drops.💝💝
I loved the storylines in this book. First, i wonder who shot Mason. I’m sure it’s the ex cop that he was messing with his wife. And i hope a Nola isn’t having a miscarriage on top of that. I can’t wait to see what happen to London and her daughter since she got in an accident bc she was drinking, she needs to get some more help ASAP. And Charlie and Chuck situation is crazy. She shot him and it sounded like she shot her grandson Darrius too. This is all a hotmess but i can’t wait to read book 2. This is a MUST read!!!
This was just an ok read to me. Too many people that have obviously appeared in previous books. I didn’t know their background, so they made everything confusing. Months passed in Nola and Mason’s relationship, but it didn’t seem like that while reading. Nola was so immature! She knew the man was a whole h*e before she met him,so the women popping up shouldn’t have been surprising. She never wanted to talk the situations through. I hope book two wraps this mess up in a hurry.
Terrance seems like a decent dude and I respect Nola for being honest with him and not leading him on but he has feelings for her. I don't see him walking away that easy. Nola dealing with Mason seem to bring drama because of his past. Mason better get Jones off his back. Jones his in his feelings and he's a Police officer. He is trying to use his position to intimidate Mason and anybody connected to him.
Good read! Nola has not had an easy way to go, but things get more complicated after one crazy day at the job. The downhill battle she was thrust into began to spiral out of control, but fate stepped in. Nola begins to experience many things from love to a great family dynamic. When life seems to be going better, what happens to her and Mason, her love interest? One click part 2 to find out!
Mason and Nola are good together, complements each other very well. Mason goes from staying single to finding his forever but not without consequences and obstacles. Nola goes from having no family to gaining family and friends and her forever. Life definitely tests them and the results will have devastating effects.It is good to get caught up with previous characters and see how they all doing now. Well on to book two.
Wow....Mason got women coming out of the wood works on him. He better get some control over them because they do not want to let go. Nola needs to put her big girl panties on if she is going to stay with Mason. She can't keep running at the drop of the dime all the time and she needs to stay alert when it comes to Terrance because he is not going to go away easily.
How could Charlie kill her own grandson? I knew she was a piece of work. Darrius doesn't deserve that. He has been through so much. London needs to talk to a professional. I hope Nolan doesn't lose her baby. She is going to freak out when she finds out Mason got shot. Great Read. Ready for part 2.
That ending OMGGGG!~ I need Mason to get his women under control and for Nola to listen to her man. I just don't trust Terrence and I think he is up to something. London needs to get her stuff together because she is spiraling out of control. I can't wait for part 2!~
I liked the fact that NOLA was about her business. The family connections were a little confusing but the story line was great. I think the book ended with an exciting cliffhanger.
I am loving this story. Nola and Mason are made for each other. Hopefully they get it together because I am rooting for them. Some things seem a little fishy though and the truth will be revealed.
Omg so much going on . I hope Ms Charlie didn't shoot Darrius I hope she did herself. I wonder who trying to take Mason out I bet the police officer. I really hope London an her baby is ok. I hope Mila don't lose her baby. Ugh I can't wait til the next one.
To my surprise, the story was an addition to an old crew, but New members. The story was action packed. But, Mason past kept creeping up halting his future. Nola was getting on my last nerve when she kept running away.
Mason seems to be ready to settle down but his past just won't allow him to be great...London needs to get help so she can get back on track...Terrance isn't going to go away easily...Ava is a going to be a bug
Why is it that when a man wants to do right something always happens to prevent or prolong it from happening. I like Niall and Mason. I hope all works out. I need to see what happened to Darrius and London. Good book
Oh I liked this book it keeps you entertained. I can’t believe all the drama going on with the family . I can’t wait to read book 2 . For some reason I love all the male characters . Nola needs to stop being scared to love and acting like a women
Dammit man Mason catching hell from every withcha way. He can't catch a break for nothing. Got these women going bat shit crazy. Got the detective after him cause his wife is a hoe. Nova's boy toy doesn't like him. Then he has a possible baby by a cray cray.....
I loved it! Mason and the crew! I hope that baby is not his which it probably isn’t because I want him and Nola to work out. I don’t think Terrance is going to go away quietly. Great job!
This book starts good and continues to get better. Mason and Nola are trying to get a relationship started but it seems like every time things are going good Mason past keeps creeping up. Mr. Jones the dirty cop keeps looking for stuff to put Mason in jail.
Man, Mason can't catch a break, Black is so crazy Zo and London are characters in themselves. Terrace is crazy he's gonna be an issue for sure. Can't wait for part 2
Damn how you just going to leave me hanging with so many questions needing to be answered? A good job on this, will Nola and Mason get their happy ending?
