This is my first read by this author... I can say that I did enjoy her writing style... This book had a nice steady flow to it... It moved pretty quickly and held my attention... The beginning of this book had me a little confused momentarily because it kind of read like there was information that I should have known already... but it slowly started revealing the information that i needed and started making a little more sense to me... I do like the characters and how they interact with eachother...
I like Queen and how she handles herself and knows what she wants and will not let anything or anyone come in the way of that... Not even her mother... She stood her ground and searched for her own happiness... Her mother was just Waaaaaay to much... I don't use why Queens dad would just sit back an not even say anything about how his wife was being and interfering in their grown children's lives... Just because she got one of the siblings named Tempest to do what she wanted definitely does not mean that she can control all of her children's lives... Well Queen stood her ground and ended up meeting a man that made her smile and just overall enjoy life... Yet she knew that her mother would not approve... But that didnt stop her from enjoying their time together...
Chance was a man that all these woman wanted... And he was so use to woman just doing whatever he wanted and he didnt have to put in work to get them... But then this one beauty crosses his path and shakes up his way of doing things... He actually starts having feelings for a woman and is actually working hard and going out of his way to impress her and make her smile...
Now Queens mother is stiring up so many problems... I am like what is wrong with her... Why is she so pressed about Queen getting married and to some men that she wants her to that Queen does not know... Now see what her actions have caused... Then for her to turn around and blame this on Emmanuel... Come on woman... What is wrong with you...
Now to see how everything will turn out... Will Queen be okay... Will both families come together to make sure Queen is okay... On to part 2 to find out...

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I WAS READY TO GIVE THIS BOOK 4 ⭐️ BECAUSE THE EDITING AND SPACING WAS HORRIBLE FROM BEGINNING TO END, BUT THE BOOK WAS SO GOOD. THEN IT ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER WITH NO PART 2 IN SIGHT🙄🤬.

IDK WTF WAS WRONG WITH QUEENS MOMMA BUT THAT BIH NEED A MOTHERFUDGESICKLESTIX HOBBY OR SOMETHING. SHE’S TOO EFFING INVESTED IN HER OVERGROWN AZZ ADULT CHILDREN LIVES. FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK SHE’S LEFT ME ASKING WTF IS WRONG WITH HER🤔🤔🤔. THEN EVERYTHING THAT TRANSPIRED IN THE END OF THE BOOK WAS ALL HER MOTHERFUDGESICKLESTIX FAULT, JUST LIKE A NARCISSIST SHE PUTS THE BLAME ON HER SON 🤬🤬🤬. WHO FLIES TWO MEN OUT TO MEET HER GROWN AZZ DAUGHTERS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE🤔🤔🤔. THEN THE WAY SHE TALKED ABOUT THEM TO THESE AIN’T ISH AZZ 🥷

I LOVED HER FRIENDS🥰

CHOICE SHOULDN’T HAVE EVER LISTENED TO HIS BITTER AZZ BROTHER CHANNING AND BECAUSE HE DID IT COST HIM THE WOMAN HE LOVED😔. BIG DUMMY 🤣🤣🤣

CHANNING MINDING EVERYBODY ELSE RELATIONSHIP, BUT CAN’T GET A HANDLE ON HIS ON🙄. I AGREE WITH THEIR DADDY, HE DUMB ASF FOR THE ISH HE PUTS UP WITH WHEN IT VINES TO JESS. DID GOT SOME EXTRA ISH GOING ON AND I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF SHE’S NOT MARRIED🤷🏽‍♀️

CHANCE & QUEEN🤎. THESE TWO WERE POLAR OPPOSITES IN A WAY, BUT THEY WERE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. THINGS WERE GOING SO GOOD UNTIL HER OVERBEARING AZZ, DISRESPECTFUL AZZ MOMMA CAME INTO TOWN🙄😔. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE DIDN’T TRY HARDER TO EXPLAIN WHAT SHE MEANT WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM NOT MEETING HER FAMILY🙄. BUT I ALSO AGREE WITH HIS DADDY WHEN HE CALLED HIM AND HIS BROTHERS DUMB CAUSE HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN EAR HUSTLING🤷🏽‍♀️.

THAT ENDING POSTED ME OF CAUSE NOT IDK WHAT HAPPENS AFTER HER ACCIDENT🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. I’M STILL GOING THROUGH HER CATALOG, I JUST HOPE THE NEXT BOOK IS COMPLETED

Chaotic endeavors is literally is that. Chance and is damn brother are grown but live a chaotic mess. Hell the women they have chosen were a whole thing separate. While Chance and Queen live completely different lives however they start to fit. I loved how Chance was a man who had women doing whatever he wanted, but he in the end ended up putting in so much effort to get queen’s attention to agree to for dates. Once he started catching feelings, I knew it was the end of his old ways. The family dynamic are vastly different. Queen’s siblibing needed their father to speak up more. Her mother was a mess and really felt entitled to her kids, future and all the moving and playing parts in it. She irritated me the entire book and the daddy two for not speaking up. I hated how the mother acted so oblivious to what was going on in the parking lot and for everything to play out in front of both families with queen. I really can’t wait to see how the mom acts now and how the rest of the family will act towards the mom. Chance I hope gets some answers and is able to freely be with Queen and Queen freely be with Chance without all the extra chaotic mess that was surrounding them. My only draw back is the second part is not out and I have to wait to continue the story. I’m ready for Queens broth to snap!!!!!!

Chaos At It’s Finest

This book was soooo good and there were so many moving parts!!!…I love how Queen and Tommy looks out for each other and make sure they are unified when it comes to their mother!!!…I was also glad that their father finally said something to her!!!…
Ohhhh this was good and I can’t wait to see what Queen’s momma has to say now!!!…I was so irritated by her whole attitude and her sense of entitlement over her children!!!…
I hope Chance gives Queen an opportunity to explain what she meant about not introducing him to her family!!!…
Anlee is a tough cookie and I love that she is giving Choice a run for his money!!!…

You need a better proofreader

I enjoyed the book but trying to figure out which character you are writing about was difficult because names were in the wrong place and sentences were jumbled. I’m an avid reader of your work and I have never seen this in any of your other books. I just couldn’t comprehend sometimes what you were trying to say, it I still love your work. I still can’t wait to see what happens in part 2😘

Good Read

This book was good. I liked Queen. She was so laid back. I thought her and Chance will make a good couple once they figure their stuff out. Now her mama is another story. This book is by a new author and she did a good job. I can't wait to see what she drops next. Hopefully it will be part two to this book. Good job.

What The H

I'm too thru, I assumed this was a stand alone. Now I'm on edge wondering is there gonna be a setback to her memory, her love for chess,will Chase still be important to her.? Please don't take forever with the next part. The other brothers have me curious about them also. Please tag me when ever its release. Pins and needles.!!!

I Guess🫤

I really like Aubry j's books. But I don't know what was going on with this one. It was a little too slow for such a short book. But I kept going just when I thought it was going to pick. BOOM...it hit a climax then. BOOM again & it was over. With no #2 in sight & it is horribly edited.

unspoken words

They had so many unspoken words to one another, Queen couldn’t explain her reason for saying what she said and Chance might not get an opportunity to say how he really feels. The momma needs to be locked up

Too Many Errors

Please edit and rewrite this book! The storyline seems really interesting, however, I can't get through it for all of the grammatical errors. If nothing else, please review the punctuation use.

Well, dang....

Chance & Queen! Honestly, I did not like this story until about chapter 8. The chemistry was there with Chance and Queen! It just took so long for them to meet. Ugh. The ending of the story messed me up.

Indifferent

The book had a decent plot but was hard to keep up with due to formatting, typos and missing words. I am sure it is a ebook issue but it was distracting none the less.

Good story!

I didn’t expect the ending. Her mother is a real trip. His father is funny. I would recommend this story.

Listened with virtual voice which wasn’t as bad as I thought. The storyline is really good but I’m disappointed that part two is no where to be found.

Good Read

The story itself is really good and I enjoyed it. I would have rated it higher but there were a lot of errors in the book. I’ve read other books by the author and none have had as many errors as this book does.

Well Wow

This is my first time reading a book from this author and I must say that I'm not disappointed at all. I liked the fact that there wasn't a whole lot of back and forth with the couple's. I liked how the she wrote Queen character and gave her a different occupation, most definitely not your typical. Overall this was a pretty good read I can't wait for part 2.
