Burn Me Slow
When we burned, we burned.
When we scorched, we scorched.
In my lifetime I’ve met an array of men. Men from all walks of life. Some gave me the best pleasure, some gave my heart the best love kisses, and some left me more destructive. But Dre…All I cared about is trying to relearn how to breathe again. He snatched my ability to do it on my own the first time he kissed me and left me breathless. ~ Courtney “Coco” Knight
Coco and I were a dark moment fairytale. That once-in-a-lifetime type of love that would change us for the better before it ruined us for the bad. Parallel souls that built a foundation on the commonalities of our past. Looking through her eyes I saw our future. A future where love and happiness doesn’t coexist with pain. ~ Andre “Dre” Joseph
Landon loved me more than I loved him. Never had I ever questioned his devotion to me, and I knew I never would because I knew his heart. The way Landon made me feel felt like a chapter out of my favorite romance novel. His chase, his ambition, his whole persona made those desires a reality. Yet, here we were divided and entangled in marriage woes that knew no boundaries. ~ Andrea “Drea” Carter
Noelani and I were stuck in this game of love vs. manipulation. We built the sandcastles. We left the footprints of chaos. Our lust turned into greed. Greed turned into betrayal. No longer two weary souls but one infatuated with turning our love into cruel punishments of death. ~ Cassian Kalmin
In this tale, Love & Happiness live next to pain.

Soap Opera Series Worthy
There was nothing to dislike about this story but the unlikable villains. The gems that graced these pages, especially from Amell & Andrea were so mind blowing. This ending will absolutely have me harassing the author, because.... uhhh yeah... Ima need more soon! The growth by the brothers and the kids was so exciting. Seeing love, compassion, and kindness without compromising their strength and ability to protect the family is absolutely breathtaking! The author wrote this book with so much passion for her art & the characters gave us everything! I'll try to patiently wait til the next release. 🥳🎊🎉🍾💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yoooooooo!!! This is your best work to date like legit! After I closed the book I just sat for at least 30 minutes not able to focus on anything but that ending! The way you brilliantly connected the two worlds of the Kalmins & the characters from For You I Will *chef’s kiss*. This story was so beautifully told with gems for days. That darn Andrea and Amell, whew, they were the stars of this book. I felt your passion and love for creativity through your pen. I cannot wait for the second book!!!

This is a lot.
I have read many of Chelsea Maria books. I have enjoyed them all. I didn't peep where this was book 1 till I was almost in the middle of the book. If I had known, I probably would have waited till all books are out. I like to have my final ending right then, lol. Anyway, this book I thought it was go be about just Dre and Coco. I didn't think other characters had their own chapters also. I just didn't think some of those characters needed a chapter at all. What I really like was my favorite characters are in here the Kalmin brothers. I started and stopped this book twice. The epilogue I really didn't see the need for that. I will be waiting on book 2. I need answers. Coco and Dre gave me headache. I'm go include Noe in that also.

When secrets make it to the light
Sheesh, I love those Kalmins, well not Noelani she needs to be fed to Amells pets and she can take Dafina with her. So many good people with traumatic childhoods:Amell, Cassian, Drea, Dre, CoCo, yet they still push forward. And Atlas and his pharmaceuticals, he is bad ass on a lower key. This book was filled with lots of drama, trauma, faith, secrets and love. I really enjoyed it. I need the next book expeditiously, I need to know how everything culminates especially with how this ended.

OMGoodness🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This book started out…not exactly as I expected it to being a continuation from Champagne Wishes..but it started out with a bang..a bang I wasn’t expecting, or liked but I struggled through it. Yes, it was difficult for me personally to get through the first 20% because my expectations were not being met😩😔. Ladies, when I say the struggle was real, I’m not kidding..it was real!! This book was, in my honest opinion, the best book so far by this Author. This book left me impatiently waiting on Book 2. The many stories packed into this one book..priceless. The wisdom and Kingdom nuggets..nothing but God could deliver to us what we need in a romance book😜. Ok, that being said, I’ll try to keep my review short, but I’m not sure if that’s going to work out🤷🏽♀️. Please note that I’m a beta reader, but I’ve also downloaded the book myself just to re-read it, that’s how good it is..me re-reading a book that took me through my emotions and feelings. It was fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Dre: We start out with him being a man and going to Devil Dafina, (hereinafter referred to as “DD”😉), letting her know what time it is. We not gone be together no more, I’ve moved on, blah, blah, blah. DD was like I’m not having this, you can’t be serious🙄🙄, look at this body…he leaves, she’s mad. The End😉…or is it? Dre goes through a lot in this book. Therapy and God really helps🙏🏽
Coco: Then we see Coco on the plane heading back home basking in the love she just found in NY only to have her mom sit beside her on the plane…her mom who she hates..who no one knows is alive or anything about her. The conversation they had, set my heart to racing. Yup, ya girl was upset and ready to throw hands. Ok. I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t go through every chapter of this book so I’m going to really attempt to give nuggets. Here I go again😩. Coco went through a lot in her life. She matured, had Massey, grew, grew some more, loves her daughter, has one true friend and is struggling with her past.
Cassian..what can I say about him. This man is still funny, showing up and showing out, blow horn carrying, gun toting, loud mouth, I said what I said and I don’t care, Cassian. Love him but he got issues🤔. He better shake off that lethargy and snap back to earth. Where my thug at?🤣🤣
Neolani (Hoelina), yes, that’s what I call her cause that’s what she is. Pimped out, gun toting Queen of the South wanna be, neglectful mom and wife..yes, Hoelina🤦🏽♀️. I’m praying she gets pushed into Amell’s pond😉. Come on Chelsea Maria, you know you want home girl to die. Only God can perform a transformation miracle in Hoelina. Off with her head, please😉.
Drea and Landon..love these two. Landon really grew from “For You I Will” through Amell’s book, All I ask of You”, to this one. The love he has for his wife❤️❤️..#Goals. Drea..what she’s going through being pregnant🤦🏽♀️thank God for Atlas. That man’s a genius. Praise the Lord😉👊🏽
DD and Jaali..what can I say. They’re both evil. They seem to deserve each other and there’s a special place in hell for them both. I want them both dead as well. Please and thanks😊👍🏽👍🏽
Amell..Bae. What is there to be said about Bae? He’s still the same..all knowing and seeing. To see a man with his babies😢❤️. It’s just hot🔥🔥 to see a man with his kids🤷🏽♀️. He’s still filled with wisdom and I can’t wait to see him next book👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The Kids..let me tell you, to see our babies almost grown, to see them going through growing pains, it does something to your heart. These babies are getting into relationships and my heart just was all over the place with this one. I just want it to be known that I’m Team PJ all the way👊🏽💃🏽🤣. Forgive me if that’s a spoiler, but I like who I like and that’s that💃🏽💃🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥.
Veronica and Stacy..Satan’s most prize possessions. They will share the same space in hell with DD and Jaali. Nuff said😩
To tell you about all the awesomeness in this book would take me writing a book about this book and I’ve already taken up a lot of your time. Trust me, you’ll enjoy the ride. I recommend this book💃🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥳🔥🔥🔥🔥. Chelsea Maria..your best book yet. You outdid yourself with this one..but Amell is still Bae😜. Love it🔥🔥🔥

Perfect Combo
Ms. Maria, you did this, this book is a perfect combination of a T.V. series and soap opera. I can honestly say that I can imagine watching this on a special BET series. It would be around 10-episode because trying to fit it all in ☝🏾 movie wouldn't do it justice. Not only could it be a series but this book also resembles a soap opera. In my mind, it is as if all of the characters are in an "As the World Turns" moment while the Kalmin men are their "Guiding Light."
This book is well inscribed and no less than the stroke of a genius. The ability that Ms. Maria has with the way she uses her words and intelligence in her books is astounding. It is many cliffhangers left in this book. I want to know how everything pans out. The one story that I am anticipating just a little more than the others to read is Noelani and Cassian. It is so much toxicity in the household. Cassian is hurting and my 💜 goes out to Cashton. He seems to be internalizing everything. I feel like he is in a "pressure bust pipe" mentality. This book has a lot going on but Ms. Maria has executed the plot like a "well-oiled machine." Currently, every main character got something drastic or traumatic going on. You will be intrigued from page one. It is a lot so hold on buttercup, and it will also gut check your emotions. With that being said, it is still worth every word you read. I am anticipating the next installment in this series, it should wrap up and finalize all cliffhangers. And yes I am highly suggesting this series, start with "Champagne Wishes." There is also a cameo in this book so if you never experienced Pacino, read his story in, "I Should've Chosen You."

WOW!!!
Why did I wait so long to continue this series. This author has done it again with an emotional, and thought provoking read. These characters have a way of making you love them, hate them and even feel their pain as they dig deeper into their own insecurities and flaws. But there are also some parts that will take you on an emotional ride that you just can't seem to get off of because of it's intensity. This is not a fast paced read but one filled with gems of wisdom and self reflection. I've always loved Amell's way with words at telling you what should be done without actually saying it outright. I love how we get more of Coco's background as well as her beautiful relationship with Massey. So disappointed in Cassian and I hope he gets it together before Amell has to step in. There is definitely some hard truths and healing to be had when it comes to some of these characters and with Amell and Andrea being the perfect gifts of knowledgeable wisdom I believe these characters will get the happy ending they deserve.

OMFreakingGoodness
This book took me through so many emotions I was happy, I was sad, I laughed I cried, I cussed, I cheered. This book brought forth many great past characters from this author the Kalmin family and Pacino as well as the hated Dafina as well as Dre and Drea's mother. It brought forth some new disliked characters Dafina's husband and Coco's family and what the heck is wrong with Noelani? Chelsea stories are always deep but thd levels peeled back in this story was totally awesome. The twists and turns, the suspense, deceit, betrayal, and passion this book has it all add in the mingled story lines and wow just wow. I wasn't ready but I totally enjoyed where the story took me. Waiting anxiously and impatiently for book 2. 2 👍👍and 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. A new reader of Chelsea's work should definitely read the 3 Kalmin brothers story before reading this one.

A lot to process
I was so happy to see my Amell again. He remains my book bae. Enough about Amell, this book gave us so much until your head will spin. The saving grace was the author's ability to provide character development. The magic was that the author was able to do for a multitude of characters and was able to maintain the integrity of the characters. If you read the books leading up to this series you knew the author did extensive research in formulating the story. I loved PJ, Massey, Andrea, and even Atlas. The characters I dislike start with Noelani, Veronica and Dafina. I hope Cassian will get it together because the stunt he pulled at the end made me angry. So much to process in the book. On to the next book in the series. I need to buckle up because I know I am in for a ride.

I NEED MORE
Miss Chelsea Maria is one of the best authors on Kindle Books. She has a way of bringing different characters together and somehow connects everyone. I love the way she added to Coco’s character. The first time we were introduced to Coco I saw her as a bitter woman. But in this story, we get to see what drove her to the point of crazy. This is Coco's redemption story. I would like to see the other wives in the second book. I miss keatyn and Krishna. Dre needs healing, Cassian is losing his mind and needs help, and I believe Noelani will be meet with harm in the next book because of her selfish ways. Dafina is a selfish woman who harms everyone around her. Amell and Andrea are two beautiful gifts from God.

In Secrets We’re Destroyed
Lord have mercy on my nerves and heart! All of my beloved Chelsea Maria, characters together in one book that is full of drama and savagery is beyond even my imagination.
What in the world has happened to Cassian and Noelani?!?!
And poor Courtney (Coco) how much more must she endure?!?!
Not to mention all of their children having a front row sit to all the evil, hateful drama and trauma!
I can’t even talk about my sweet book bae Dre. He really just made me want to gut punch him! Seriously! And those disgusting savage witches Dafina,Veronica and Stacy all need to be drop-kicked into Amell’s pond!
Author Chelsea Maria, bravo!

OH MY!!! I cannot deal with this cliffhanger! My poor heart! I already had to go back and refresh myself on Amell and Krishna! I love me some Amell ❤️ He is a real man! Coco…. Who would have thought that she had all of this stuff going on???? Man I wanna slay her grandmama! She is satan’s spawn. Dre I hope he can let go of his issues. Andrea, I am curious to know what she is seeing on the compound and will she go against Amell’s warning. What is going to happen to Noelani? She is terrible. What kind of mother has she turned out to be? Poor Cassian! I thought the first book with Drea and Dre was my favorite… nope! This one has stole the show! PLEASE CHELSEA don’t do me like this!!!!

Overwhelmingly good!!!
If I could have the Kalmin brothers, Andre and Landon all wrapped up in one I would be the best wife one could ever dream of. This book left me spent emotionally and I can’t wait to see how things unfold. I need to see Cassian win for once. I’m so invested in these couples...this is definitely a must read but I would suggest starting from the very beginning.

Bro.
I gotta give it to Chelsea! These characters were thoroughly developed. The layers, complexity, and the interconnections amidst the two families was amazing! I am (as I assume others are) confused at the ending scene with Cassian and Coco but eager to see what happens next! Looking forward to the rest of the series! This book kept me on edge and I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough. Great job!

Wow!!!
This is a must read! I don't have much to say without spoiling but Chelsea Maria is an amazing story teller! This story gave some in depth updates & jaw dropping past stories from her characters that I already knew & love. In the foreword, the author said we would laugh, cry & want to throw the book. She told no lies!! I CANNOT WAIT to read what's next!!

You all I need to see about a few things
Okay, so now Cassian has a beef with his wife and Babies Momma. Dre and Drea are making me sad with the twin's disconnect. Coco, oh my, Coco has had enough drama for a lifetime. And for some reason, I never connected with Noelani as the one for Cassian. Now it makes sense. But the ending has me screaming in my head- Noooooo!

Listeeeen to say I took my time reading this book here-I stretched it out for as long as I could! So many ups and downs, surprises and disappointments made this book so worth it. I’m loving this family and all their flaws but one things rang true -Family and Loyalty-will forever reign supreme with the Kalamin brothers.

I'm speechless 😶
I'm speechless... Everything is coming full circle, but my hatred for Noelani is at an all-time level. I can't wait for the sequel and Amell to dust of his black boots. The piranhas need some nourishment.

Whew chile
I don’t even know where to begin. There was a lot going on but not too much where you couldn’t keep up. I really do not like Dafina. Coco’s mom and grandma can catch these hands too. Oh and Cassian’s wife 🙄, she can’t go to. I can’t wait to read the next book.
