She Softened Up The Hood In Him #4
The One Who Stole My Heart 4
The adored gang are back!
What seemed like a happy ending for everybody, soon turns into anything but that when unexpected guests make new arrivals in the city of angels.
Benny and Sarai Watkins have been living the dream. Both happily married with their six-month-old son, Raylen, and their businesses booming, the pair seem to have the perfect life. However, when a close relative threatens to ruin their marriage, Benny and Sarai’s tight bond starts to weaken. Will Sarai and Benny’s relationship stand the test of time or will their sacred union turn to dust?
For Akeel and Jénade Watkins, the married life has been everything. With their six-month-old daughter, Imogen, life couldn’t be any better. Despite his previous heartache, Akeel took one look at Jénade and knew deep down that she was the one. But when the one woman who he thought he would never see again returns to his city, feelings that he thought had died start to creep up again. Can Akeel really be sure that Jénade is the love of his life or will he risk it all with a woman who once wanted him dead?
Zeus Wright and Ziya Malone’s relationship has been anything but happy for the past few months. What was once a peaceful harmony is now a hostile environment. With their wedding now pushed back, Zeus starts to feel like Ziya doesn’t want to be with him as bad as she says she does. Will they ever make it down the aisle or will Zeus slip back to his old tempting ways?
One last ride with the gang… will their love tales end in happiness or tears? There’s only one way to find out.

This series….
Was everything!!!
I’m not going to give it up too much but…
This book was truly a good read…
Every character had a significant part and played well with each other….
I just knew that Kenza coming back was going to cause major major issue for Akeel and Jenade marriage but AK shut that shit down…
Ziya, didn’t deserve Zoo but he loved her so it is what is, but I think because she started her own business she begin to feel herself way too much and that turned me alllllllll the way off from her….
My favorite couple of the bunch…
Benny and Sarai, I absolutely love them to pieces….
What Samantha did and was doing is truly unforgivable and I’m happy Sarai accepted her apologies, but being done with her is exactly what I would have done…..
This series was really great and I’m happy I took the time to read it making it my 9th book for the year.

Amazing
I truly understood Zyia wanting to accomplish her goals but like Zeus asked just show their relationship some attention as well if she needed help she should have asked with the wedding planner all they would have had to do was show up for final approvals thus still giving her time to work on her business, but when she felt that Zesus was finally feed up she did what she had too within 24 hours showing that if she really put her mind to it things can/would get done.
Now mom Samantha I knew something was off with her when she first came on the scene and my assumption was right at first after they spent time in his home studio and nothing happened I thought I may be wrong but Miss Janesequa didn't disappoint truly loved this series, maybe we will/could get an holiday update on everyone😁

Miss Jenesequa, you did it again. Loved seeing all of the couples back. I didn't see that coming from Sarai mom, trying to rape Benny after drugging him. Sarai did right with not dealing with her mom, Samantha anymore. Akeel and Jeneda only had that hiccup with Kenza trying to reclaim something that she could never have or get. Zeus and Ziya were two stubborn bulls. Ziya knew she was wrong for the things she said to Zeus and keeping secrets. I'm glad she finally realized she was wrong and did that surprise wedding. Now, all three girls pregnant at the same time. I don't believe we are done with them, I see they are going to really give the guys hell. Keep up the good work.

SHE SOFTENED UP THE HOOD IN HIM 4
MISS JENESEQUA WROTE THE URBAN DRAMA NOVEL SHE SOFTENED UP THE HOOD IN HIM 4. ZIYA KNOWS HER FRIENDS ARE THE CULPRIT AS TO WHY FRIENDS ZEUS AND BENNY ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR RAUCOUS AND SCANDALOUS AFFAIRS OF THE HEART. IF THIS IS THE MATCH, THEN SO BE IT. IT CAN'T BE WORSE THAN DYING ALONE IN THE GHETTO. IT CAN'T BE BETTER THAN THAT, EITHER. ZIYA MUST LIVE UP TO THE GANGSTER CODE WITHOUT BATTING AN EYELASH. THIS STORY WASN'T A SURPRISE HIT. IT WAS THE HIT. THIS WAS AN GREAT INTIMATE AND ENTRANCING STORY OF BORDERLINE RELATIONSHIPS GONE GOOD.

worth it!!
I knew Samantha was a trick-ass-snake-ass-whoooooore!!! I loved reading that Benny knew from the moment she touched him that that wasn’t his Chérie. I loved even more that Sarai knew something was wrong with Benny and that she commenced to whooping her momma’s ass! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Ziya pissed me clean off tryna be a super feminist n shit. But I was glad that she finally got her head outta her ass and got Zoo back. Their impromptu wedding sounded just lovely! Jénade been a boss all four books and I’ve never read a character more secure in herself, her marriage, or her husband than Jénade. Outside of book two, I really enjoyed this series. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Miss J, Great ending to a great series
This was a series I hated to see come to an end!!!...I was sooooo happy that Zeus and Ziya manages to find their way to the alter!!!...I wanted Jaylen to find a love of his own!!!...Sarai momma was definitely a whole mess and I'm glad Sarai made it home in time before her mother finished violating Benny!!!...AK and Jae was definitely a pair that made me smile!!... I loved Jae confidence in her man and the security she felt in her marriage!!!...

Awesome
I was happy to see the couples still together, but I was a bit surprised at Ziya's behavior. She went from wanting more from Zeus only for him to give her that, and now all of a sudden she's too busy at work. I'm glad everyone was happily married in the end. What I didn't like was the way the women were portrayed. It's one thing to be submissive, but it came off as they were being controlled by their husband's and as if they had no choice but to do whatever they asked of them.

Thank you!!!
Thanks for the amazing update, your writing just keeps getting better and better I am never disappointed. Love that my favorite gang is still together, loving, and supporting each other and growing their families. Zeus and Ziya had me worried for a minute, but in the end true love prevailed. Great job

I knew they had more to say!
I absolutely loved this series! Kenza has her nerve thinking she can come back to claim someone that is one her. She's lucky to be breathing. Ziya and Zeus had me nervous for a minute I thought they were calling it quits. Sarai and Benny are such a beautiful couple. Akeel and Jenny are crazy together but they match.

I loved it!
I enjoyed this 4 book series so much! I am so happy for all the couples. I hope there will be a sequel to catch us up as the family grows and I miss jaylen he was such a sweetheart but I think more should have been done to Sarai mother for what she did to Bennie. thank you ms jenesquea

Excellent Finish
Excellent finale to "The One Who Stole My Heart!" This series was outstanding and I hate to see it end. Thanks for letting Rueben go to therapy after what happened. The cops would have been called along with said therapist had it been a woman. Keep up the good work, Miss Jenesequa!

Missing them already
I enjoyed this ending to a well written story. With characters that I have come to love reading about. I know you say that this is the end of this series, but there is one more character that I would love more about. Jay needs his own story.

Sarai mom is a piece of work, I knew she was going to try something. Ziya worked my everlasting nerve, but she finally got herself together.

Great ending to this series!!
Honey I thought Zeus and Ziya wasn't going to make with her popping off at the mouth. I am so glad everyone sustained their relationships despite the obstacles that were thrown. Really loved this series.

Great to see the gang again
Man it was great to see the family one more time. Now I was almost about to through my kindle if Ziya didn't figure out how to balance her relationship and her career. However I am glad they figured it out and everyone has their HEA.
