Rollercoaster ride

Just finished reading and all I'm say is January is truly Janelle daughter cause baby she was blowing my mind.She really need to grow up and face reality. Outlaw has really sheltered her to the point where it can dangerous.legend is like the best combo of bad boy and boy next door. He is facing a tough decision on who's side to chose but I think he will be able to show his loyalty to Outlaw and Legend Sr. Brooke is one of those pot calling the kettle black. Like how you gonna feel some type of way knowing you already have a situationship but have the nerve to question Nico like he really owe you something. I can tell he gonna really humble her down and open her eyes to her worth. I really hope everything works out of Onyx after everything she has been through she deserves a fresh start.Can't wait for the next book.Gonna be a rollercoaster ride with their story.

Good read

Porscha I knew sooner or later you will bring back the famous Luke (outlaw ) and his wife Jenelle Murray. Now their babygirl January is grown up and has been hidden from the world now that she’s experienced the taste of what life really is he fell in love with a bad boy like her mother. The protégé legend is the son of legend Senior was in love with Jenelle Murray. He’s jealous of outlaw and when everything he has including his wife. His son legend Junior is in love with January .January are determined find out what’s really going on. Legend Junior is stuck in the middle because his loyalty is to outlaw as well as his father legend senior his father legend senior wants his son to do something that’s disloyal to legend and outlaw’s daughter by using his daughter January as a pawn. I hope legend Junior will confess whatever is going on to January because he’s in love with her.Porscha we are waiting on PT 2.

Wow

I enjoy January and Legend’s story. It’s different from the other ones. This story is about a beautiful Queen who meets and falls in love with a bad boy who reminds her of her father Outlaw. The bond between father and daughter was just beautiful and funny at the same time. By the time I was done reading this book, my mouth was wild open. I couldn’t believe it ends on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next part to Drop. If you haven’t read Bad Boys Do it Better series, hurry up and catch up before the next book drop. Grab your glass of wine and sit back and enjoy the series. Good job Porscha Sterling.

Boring, Long, Drawn out….

So far, the worst book I read from her, it’s long and boring. This book wasn’t needed. It’s a long book about cat and mouse games between 4 ppl. Nothing at all happens. This is why I don’t read long books, it’s usually full of a lot of unnecessary situations that could have been cut out. I stick to shorter books because they are usually just enough and they get to the point fast. 327 pages worth of nonsense. Could’ve ended 100 pages ago. Just take out some of the January and Legend situations. Because we got it along time ago that they want each other but are fighting it… now get to the action…

3.5 stars

This is the story of January and Legend. This is a second chance, extremely slow burn romance. It burned so slow that I need to read book 2 to learn if they actually get together.

January is sheltered mob princess. Legend is a shooter on her father's team. One day tragedy happens and January almost dies. Afterwards, Legend is sent away. Some years later, January and Legend meet again in college. Except she doesn't remember him and she doesn't know if he's there as a student or working for her father. There romance is sloooow but the story is still enjoyable. I wish we would've gotten more in Brooke and Nico. Hopefully book 2 answers remaining questions.

One of my favorite series and I was looking forward to reading a book about January. However this book was definitely dragged out with a lot of overly detailed and kind of redundant paragraphs. The story was starting to pick up speed towards the end and I figured there was going to be another part based on how it was ending. I’m not one to quit a series so I’ll read the next one, but hopefully it won’t be as dragged out like this one. I definitely want to see where things lead with Brooke & Nico.

OMG

Wow is all I can say, I love the storyline but at times I it was dragging on too in depth about January feelings I had to skip over some of it to get to continuation of the story. The ending was wrapped up nicely so I'm looking forward to the follow-up please don't make is wait long.. Ummm MS.Porscha don't suggest listening to a playlist again while reading I bussed out in 3 different mini concerts I had to turn it off to focus😂😂😂

Come on!!!

All I have to say is Imma need part 2 or finale or whatever ASAP!! I think Legends father is shady and he is going to do something underhanded to force Legend to remain loyal to Outlaw. I know he loves January and he really needs to come clean to her. I would like to see her less timid and potentially being a bad girl like her crazy daddy. Patiently waiting for book 2!!;

I couldn't get into this book

As wonderful as January may be, I really wasn't excited to hear about her. Her role is unimportant in the Murray saga. Although we have learned a lot about Outlaw on previous books, it would have been nice to find out how the Murray clan in doing. I expected a lot from the book, but didn't get it.

Yawning

Okay this book was really slow. I honestly fell asleep several times while reading. I hate to start something and not finish so I finally got through the whole book. I hope pt 2 is better cuz this book was lacking . I’m trying to figure out did I miss a book or something. This beef with Outlaw and legend. Hopefully it gets better with pt 2

I didn’t like it but you may

Literally 1 high point in the book & that was in the 1st chapter I believe. The rest of it basically felt like I was in head or thoughts the whole time. Not much conversation or action. Also the cliff hanger did not mk me want to find out what’s next, which is odd because the previous books in this series were really good….

Loved it!

January is very spoiled and not used to being told no. Legend has his work cut out for him. I can't wait to read the next book. I'm thinking Legend is going to choose to save January instead of handing her over to his daddy. It may cause Legend Sr. to disown Legend Jr., but the heart wants what the heart wants.

Wow

Ummmm... I did like it. But it just seem like it dragged a little? I love Porscha to death and I love all her books and I also feel bad for feeling indifferent about this one. Of course I will be reading the next one. Hopefully my views will be different for the next book.

Sigh

I have enjoyed this series. I was excited to see Outlaw, Legend, Sr and their offspring BUT this was very hard to get through. Story was fragmented and hard to follow I'm gonna try to hold on and see the outcome with Legend, January, Brooke, Nick and Onyx.

Loved it!!

I was so excited to read about Legend and Outlaws kids but disappointed that they aren't getting along (Outlaw and Legend)! Also, these women need to be tougher and stop with the whining and crying. I still loved the book and can't wait for the finale.

I can't wait to read the finale. I hope Legend don't give up January. She just wants to be normal and she is in love with him. The both of them feel the same about each other. Great Read

Jani.2

January is her mother’s daughter for sure. I was saddened to read about their son who died, in the beginning I was wondering my the sibling was never mentioned. Outlaw still loves strong, now it’s evident with his daughter

Exhilarating!!!!

I loved every fiber of this one!!! I can't wait to see what Legend is going to do. I know he has feelings for her and Outlaw knows it too,but January has yet to see and really feel it because he is so confused about what he feels. Waiting for the finale!!!

good read

Loving Outlaw and Janelle means to have some for their now young adult daughter January…. This is definitely like Deja vu but I welcome a good read anytime.

Happy reading
