Leah & Dre: A Philly Love Story
From Yona comes a stirring Philly romance series about unexpected love, heartbreak, and new beginnings. For Aleah (Leah), her marriage meant everything, and the family she built meant even more. That was until she found out that her first everything, her husband was possibly keeping secrets that could destroy not only their marriage, but their family. While searching for the truth, life throws a blow her way that knocks her off her feet. Aleah felt betrayed and hurt in the worst way possible and knew that it was time to leave. Having to start over with two kids and nothing to her name but a car, Aleah vowed to get everything on her own and to never love or depend on a man again. Life for DreQuan (Dre), seemed perfect. He had a good job, an amazing daughter and a great fiancé. Even with his daughter's mother doing everything in her power to get under his skin. Dre was living his best life and everything was going in the right direction... or so he thought. While Dre wanted to expand his family and get married, his fiancé Kamirra wanted something different. Kamirra showed Dre just how much the choices of someone else could effect your life. The bond —he thought they had— was broken, while his heart shattered into pieces. Like always, fate would have its way and a sad and lonely ride to court for both Leah and Dre brings them together. The two become inseparable and a friendship forms. Their bond becomes stronger and feelings, neither could deny, soon developed. Will their love story make it as one for the books? Or will it end before it can really began?

Disappointing but...
This book had so much potential to be great... the story line was different but failed to deliver as I don't like waiting for sequels. The editing on this book was poorly done but begrudgingly I'm waiting on part 2 to find out what happens next. I'm hoping for better execution and better editing AND that it wraps up in part 2.

Leah knows she deserves better and I'm glad she's realizing that! With everything that Nymir has taken her through I'm surprised that it took her that to realize it.

Kamirra know she was wrong for the things that came out her mouth! She gotta take her losses and move around!! Now Shay that's another that works my nerves!!

Betrayal
What a story! Betrayal and deceit at its best. Nymir was a disrespectful dog. I wondered if he ever loved his wife, Leah. Nymir lied to his wife about Morgan being his deceased friend's wife who needed his help by moving her, a set of twin girls and newborn baby into their home to help her out. The deception occurs when Leah finds out Morgan named her son after his son and he is the father. He is also the father of the twins and habe been dating Morgan for years.
I had a serious problem with Morgan actually moving into Leah's house. Kamirra wasn't right for Dre and turned out to be a drug addict. I enjoyed the relationship between Leah and her sister, Amelia. Dre and Leah developed a
friendship first and I liked that. Now that ending, wow! A traffic accident involving Leah's children and Dre. You just can't make up this stuff. A good read.
First time I've read anything by this author. Will read book2.

Leah was a great wife and mother, but Nymir wasn't no good. I couldn't believe who moved his side piece in the house with his wife and kids I was flabbergasted. Leah finally had enough and walked out. Dre was a great man and Father his no good fiance mirra was a piece of work and his baby mother Shay was a gold digger. Leah and Dre where both broke hearted trying to be with there kids.... There relationship was unconventional but the bond and love created out there friendship is amazing. That ending is crazy I pray everyone is okay by Nymir. I hope Leah is carrying Dres baby. Hurry up part 2. Absolutely loved it❤

Even though there were a bunch of errors throughout the book it does not take away from this story. Poor Leah was going through it with Nymir and their custody battle. I hated him from the beginning because how he done her. She opened up to Dre but is scared to love again. She needs to open her eyes and see that Dre is there for her and wants nothing but the best for her. I like how they started out as friends and is gradually moving to more. But huni that ending let me on the edge of my seat and anxious. Please let them babies be ok along with Dre because Leah can’t take much more heartbreak.

Trouble always comes
Wow, the ending let's start there. Such a great cliffhanger. I'm mad but I can't wait for the next part, It's a few snakes in this story and why is it that good people make and female ,always gets involved with a fool? Just when Leah thought she was gonna have peace here comes some more drama. Ms. Carmen is such a down lady, loved her and Leah's mom I really would like to see Amelia and Don become friends. Monica will get her Karma as well as Shay and Nymir is just a nasty dog. Great Read

Good Read
Nymir and Morgan need a body bag for their betrayal. The audacity of this nicca to bring his hoe and move her in. I don't blame Aleah for spazzing out. I'm glad she finally left and met Dre. Although he came out of a messed up situation to, cause I don't know who Mirra thought she was fooling or playing with. His baby mama Shay was irking my nerves but I like how she handled the situation with Kirk. Leah and Dre are made for each other and I hope everything is alright with him and Cion. 💞💞

Awesome
Always put up with to much from Nymir, she should have left him when she lost the baby. Finding out that Nymir is the father to his supposed to be friend kids was a double slap in the face. I feel for Dre having to deal with a ratchet baby mama and a dope head for a fiancee, but I love the relationship he has with his daughter. I like Carmen because she calls him on his stuff. Amelia is hilarious I can't wait to see if she finds a man or stay hoeing. Praying Leah gets her divorce.

😱 wow
Omg i don’t even know where to start!! First, i wonder if Nymir’s friend knew those weren’t his kids & he was covering up for Nymir, or was he clueless like Leah. And i hope her nasty trifling cousin gets hers (and the friend).
I hope those kids & Quanny are ok. I swear, every chapter there was a surprise that i wasn’t expecting 😱 im not gonna say much more because i don’t want to spoil it for readers who read reviews before they read. Just know, this was a good a** read 😊 can’t wait until part 2

Where is part 2!!!
I feel so bad for Leah. She has been trying to do the right thing her whole life and just keeps having these bad luck spells. I really hope this accident doesn't separate her and Dre. I think if she really opens up he can make her happy! I pray her son and daughter make it out just fine. Nymir is such a typical want my cake and eat it too type of guy. He doesn't deserve Leah or her forgiveness!

Starting Over
Omg this book was everything. Leah starting over and leaving Nymir was the best thing she could’ve done. He just dogged her out cause she accepted it. Rebuilding and finding herself Dre because a ally and slowly but surely sweeps her off feet. He needs just as bad Shay so determined to make his life a living hell when she’s only hurting her daughter. I loved there blossoming friendship and relationships. I absolutely cannot wait for part 2.

Alright
I’m just sick of authors not giving warning about a book series. It would be nice for reader to know what they getting into smh. I’m just sick of these types of books with no warnings. Leah was getting on my nerves with that best friend crap. Was Dre drudged at the club? That cliffhanger seem to come out of nowhere. I guess, I have to wait for the next 3-5 books to know what happen. Argh books like this really frustrating and piss me off.

Unbelievable
How can someone (Aleah) who gives their all ends up being hurt by a no good, nothing boy, ( Nymir )? Aleah has given her life to a cheating and lying boy. A person she called her friend betrays her with that nothing ass boy.
She finally finds a real man that will love and cherish her, but is scared to put her all into him. Now tragedy had struck again in the worst way, I pray no one loose their lives. I got Anxiety NOW!!!

Nooo
Why you do me like this? Just as the book was getting really good. You hit me with a "To be continued"!!! I just hope she doesn't feel so bad that she goes back to that piece of shit. Nymir ass just be doing the most. He got a whole Bish and 3 kids that ain't by his wife. Yet he talking about " When you coming back home"? Lord forgive me cause in my head I was like he needs to be seriously injured. I'm talking about in a wheelchair injured or dead.

Juicy Read: Love it
I'm not going to say one bad thing about this book because it was so damn good. I love how I could read the story and picture it as if I was watching it as a movie in my mind. Dre and Leah both have gone through so mess and when it's close to end it got bad. I can't stand Leah husband because he truly has damaged her mond and heart and now the kids too. I can't wait to finish the next book part two. I'm here for Leah and Dre 😍😍🔥💜

Interesting storyline
This book had a very original storyline. Dre and Leah bonded over the fact they were both going through the same things with their kids. I couldn’t give it 5 stars bc the editing was HORRIBLE. Run-on sentences, misspelled words, wrong verb tense, etc. I had to skip a lot of the conversations bc the grammar was confusing me. I didn’t have a clue what the character was trying to say it who was actually saying it.

This is a must read
Rating this book five star's is a understatement when it surpassed five stars. I can't wait for book two. So that I can find out how everything is going to unfold. I really hate that Leah's character has so much Miss misfortune coming her way. It's like she can't catch a break for nothing. As far as Nymir he deserves to have karma come knock on his door.

Nymir is the most disrespectful character I’ve come across in a while. Leah should of been burst his head to the white meat. Now Dre is a dream come true, and I love him for Leah. Not sure what’s in store for Leah but it has to be better than what she’s received so far. Hopefully the children and Dre are okay. I can’t wait to see what happens in part 2. Great work Yona

Review
They started as friends getting to know each other. They built upon that and let everything else fall into place. Just when things were going so well for Quan and Leah. I hope they can recover from this trauma and continue to move forward. Aleah has been hurt enough, and trying to get over that. She can’t take anymore.

Awesome one of the best I’ve read
I really love this story it doesn’t drag on just to fill space. Just when you thought things for Aleah couldn’t get any worse or they were finally getting better. That husband of hers is a real piece of work. Amelia makes me laugh, she knows who she is and is not afraid to admit it.

Cliffhanger
This book makes me want to find a Male best friend. I like the boldness and realness of some of the characters. It was definitely a good read. I just hate that we have to wait to find out what happens.

Now this was good from start to finish. Now who would have thought that Leah would fall in love with Dre. So sick of what Nymir did to Leah. I hope and pray that her son and man will be okay.
