After hearing the shocking news about their father, she won’t stop until she gets to the truth. That means with or without the support of her sisters. Struggling to come to terms with the news, she tries to pry the whole truth out of their mother, who doesn’t want to reveal it for fear of losing her husband.Shaniqua is devastated behind the lies told by their mother and rather than accept the new reality, she prefers keeping herself busy with her male friend. Whoever it may be at the time. When she runs across an old beau, he turns out to be just what she needs. Nisa is the milder of the three and is stuck between finding out the truth and keeping things as they are. All she wants is peace within her family, but peace won’t be present for a long time. What happens when the whole truth is finally revealed? Will the family be ripped apart by the secrets or will they get pass the lies their mama told?

Ehh

Not what I expected. More about the sisters' sexcapades than the title of the story. These sisters are pretty promiscuous. I don't like anything about them. And the fact that they all have degrees yet are living off of Daddy is deplorable. They want a man with intelligence and bank, but what would they bring to the table? If their parents loved them so much, they would close the bank of mom and dad and make them put those degrees to work.
I'll continue the series since I do want to know the truth, but had I known this was a 4 part (or more??) series, I would have waited until the entire series was released. At least there wasn't the retelling of the story from chapter to chapter.

Great Read

Sharika, Nisa, and Shaniqua got the shock of their lives finding out their mother was a THOT and she refused to give them the answers that they needed. Sharika was obsessed with finding out the truth. Nisa was on the fence about it and Shaniqua just didn't seem to give a damn. Sharika digging into her mother past was opening doors I don't think any of them were ready to walk through. Momma definitely had some skeletons hidden and the way this ended. I can see why she didn't want her daughter's or her husband to find out how trifling she was.

Wow

Their mama really a mess. Hell, the truth was halfway out. She should have known Shaniqua wasn't going to back down until she found everything out. Shiddd, of all the people in the world, she stepped out on her husband with his cousin?! These girls done found themselves in some relationships. I really hope they aren't too good to be true. Well, now the cat is out the bag. What's gonna happen now?! Would he want anything to do with the girls? How would their 'father' feel about this now? What the hell their mama gone say now?! Ready for part 2

Interesting

The plot is good, too many story lines. You have the three sisters, the mother and father and who's baby daddy and probably a drug dealer story line. I could not relate to the characters because they are one dimensional. The story could have ended in one book. The sex scenes were fill in, so now a cliffhanger happened. Once again the plot is good; the characters could have been described more; the sex scenes could have been shorten and no waiting for the second book for possibly another cliffhanger. 3 stars.

WOW

A very interesting read full of secrets that had my attention from the beginning. Although their personalities are different, I like the triplets and the close bond they share. The ladies so far seem to have found some good men in their lives. But what their mother has done in the past has definitely found it's way to the present and things just got real with that ending. Will the triplets, finally get all the answers to the questions about their true identity or will their mother once again leave them looking elsewhere for the truth. Can't wait to read how part 2 ends.

Couldn't put it down

Omg triplets!!!! This book dragged a little at first but I still couldn't put it down. The ladies are a mess, I wanted them to know who their dad was but then again, I didn't want them to upset their father. The mother got some shut with her, I can't wait for the next installment. Good read

Good Read

This was a good read, it started off kinda slow, but it picked right up. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters and it kept me wondering what's happening next. It was so full of lies and secrets, with some twist and turns. Whatever the motives for this long running secrets, I can't wait for it to be revealed. Good job Lady Lissa and Shelli Marie.

Good read

Enjoyed this story about the Triplets trying to uncover the truth surrounding their birth. Not sure why the mother and sometimes the father seem to be playing dumb and dragging the truth out. The girls fell in love a little too quickly. I'll be waiting to see what happens next now that they are getting closer to the truth.

Ok

The sisters relationship irritates me. It's way too much. They are too intertwined in each other lives that's its almost sickening. If the author uses the word whine one more time I'm going to scream. I was told to never keep using the same word over and over. The author loves that word.

Wow!!! Good read. The triplets stuck together lick glue until the day they found out that their mom lied to them about their father. The girls had a wonderful father, but he was not their children biologically, but it did not matter to him. The girl’s mom said she did not remember and would not tell them anything. On to number 2.

I don’t know who’s to blame for this fiasco. Sharika should’ve just let it go like her sisters kept telling her. Nissan was the one who opened Pandora’s box. Their mom with her constant lies and silence. Part 2 is gonna be something to look forward to.

Good storyline!

I enjoyed the book, but there were several errors that I did not expect from a Lady Lissa book. I can’t wait to see how this biological father piece and the triplets love life play out.

Interesting!

The turns ahead are coming clear. What will Carl's answer be, will he have regret toward his cousin for his betrayal? The girls have found their corners of love and hopefully they will go far with their newfound love interests.

Oh thank god

This book was very very boring. The last chapeter's last paragraph had more life than the entire book. Spent too much time on sex than concentrating on the lies and deciet.

Good read

These sisters are a mess plus they are triplets. Their momma should have told them the truth. I knew Carl was their father by the comments he made about their mother. Now they are fighting Carl and the girls father.

Great story

The mom really wasn't letting go of her secrets. How could she go against the code and not only lay with her husbands family member but have triplets with him. There's more to this story. On to part 2

Not at all what I expected.

I found myself forcing to finish this book. I'm not sure if it's because what I read prior to this was exciting, or the book is just boring. I'm gonna try to read book 2 and see what happens. Hopefully I can give a better review.
