Rate this book
The finale. We have all come to love Naomi and Glizzy. It’s their differences that make them such a unique couple. Naomi is the smart, sassy, classy, well-educated elementary school teacher. Then, you have Glizzy, a product of the bottom with a history of being in trouble with the law and a thug!

As much as we love them, their relationship has been tested since the very moment it started. We all want nothing more than for them to get it right, give each other the love they both deserve, and be a loving family.

This is the last ride, so be prepared to go on a journey full of different emotions, with high hopes that it’ll all work out in the end.

Love all of Diamonds Johnson books she is awesome writer.

Naomi went thru a bad marriage with her ex-husband Liam she fell in love with from high school. Liam resented Naomi because she had several miscarriage and her body couldn't carry the babies he made her feel less of a woman because of losing them because of the stress. Liam cheat on Naomi with a member from the church and got her pregnant he thought the baby was his. Karma came back he got shot almost died. Come to find out the women he thought he knew was using him to get his money. The unsuspected happened she met and fell in love with Markell West when she wasn't looking. Markell was a thug and a felony who was straight out if prison who had a dream to become a chef and open up is first restaurant he served time for 8 years of his life taken and he decided to change his life for the better. He wasn't looking for love it was just something about Naomi that drew him to her he saw her past her pain he loved her unconditional. He was brutal honest about how he loved her and her son LJ and he treat her like a Queen with respect and loyalty. Naomi and Markell had tripplett and got married and the love and respect they have each other. Naomi discovered her worth and getting back to loving yourself and trusting her instincts and loving a man that loves all of you. Can't wait the spin-off Love Me Right or don't Love me at all about Mia, Beats and Loyal, and Saint. The ups and down of being a relationship and learning how to trust and forgive the hurt that some men put you thru when you are trying to be a better woman or a better man. Great read can't wait for the next one.

Awww, such a beautiful ending💕

Queen Diamond, you really did your thang with this series👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm still waiting on Cassandra to get hers cause that bih got off too easy, ijs🤷🏽
Liam gonna forever put the B in Bit** a** narcissistic a** phuck boy. That ninja really thought cause he had a "change of heart" after the truth was revealed about that the bih he left his wife for was gonna get him some sympathy. He really thought Naomi was gonna leave her REAL NI**A for his mediocre 🍆having a**, NOT😜😂😂😂. I was proud when Naomi checked him and his dumb a** momma.
I just wanted Davidson to greet his a** stomped out cause I'm tired out him fu**ing with Normani with his narcissistic a**.
The motherfu**ing audacity for Chance to even think he got it like that🙄. I'm with Loyal momma, ol girl must've gotten tired and put his a** out and he thought he was gonna crawl back to Loyal, NOT!
FINALLY SOMEBODY TOOK CARE OF RANIYAH👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!!!
So happy for Mrs. Melody, she definitely deserved that fine a** Mr. James and all the happiness he brings.
I'm so glad Loyal gave Saint a second chance. They loved each other for so long and deserved happiness.
Billionaire & Normani suffered a loss and God turned around a blessed them, she finally got her boy💕. Them two are crazy asf, but I love it.
Markell & Naomi got a triple blessing and were finally able to get married and really start living their life without the drama from Liam and all the other haters.
THIS WAS A CRAZY A**MUST READ SERIES💕

This Conclusion Was Fire!!

Liam wanted his ex-wife back once realized he got played. Naomi went off his mammy in a nasty nice way. Markell rolled up on Liam and spoke his peace. Markell changed Naomi life loved without any restrictions, expectations or no limitations. Jalen was always a hater and was jealous of Glizzy before he even knew he was. Demin has got herself together finally and concentrated on her kids. Mauri came into her life and messed it up by not being liked two oldest,and when he popped Khari. She called her daddy and he beat like he stole something. Raniyah had a lot of pull from behind bars. To bad she got done first, her home boy didn't stand a chance. Chance better quit playing with Loyal before he comes up missing. He knows he doesn't want nothing to do with Dream except to mess with Loyal. Twinkle and Truth got the perfect little family. Mia and Beatz marriage is mess. Aaron makes up the son Melody lost. Naomi found comfort of a thug and so did Normani

Why 2022

I loved this series. Wow 2022 seems so far away. I felt like the characters in this book were family starting with Naomi , Nomani, and their mother. Then you have Twinkle & Loyal, Mia. All of the men are book baes especially that Glizzy. Chance is a piece of poo. Where is that wife and kids that he left his daughter for? Don’t let him win in court. He needs to own up to what he did to Loyal and Dream let him serve that time or better yet let Saint, Billion and Glizzy take care of it. Beats is a piece of poo too. Highly anticipating this new journey. Keep up the good work. God bless. People don’t sleep on this readtastic series.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

As always your books are fire and you are one of my favorite authors!! I really am happy for Naomi I knew this day would come for her. I can’t wait to read more about Mia and Beatz also about Loyal and Saint next year!! I do wonder are you gone let us hear from Denim I didn’t like her through out these 2 whole series until I seen her slowly start to mature now I just want her to find what everyone else has and I hope that her and Normani develop a co parenting realtionship like Nesha has with them. Definitely recommend reading all the books in her catalog and I can’t wait for the next book

pregnant thugs

The author allowed thugs who evolved into legit successful businessmen navigate in their marriages/relationships and assumed parental roles in a manner that is not usually shown. Their family lives were portrayed in atypical manner which was refreshing. This book shows female and male perspectives on relationship challenges. However there were just too much characters and their background story that I just couldn’t get into so they took away from my enjoyment. There was repetitive dialogue that I was not interested in from the start that I had to suffer through multiple times. There were just too eye rolling moments for me.

After the Storm!!!

When life started coming at Naomi hard she never imagined that she would find comfort in someone who was not her type or at least that’s what she thought but Glizzy was that man and boy did she show her exactly what she was missing.Liam he dey needed to be humbled and I’m glad he finally did the right thing. Chance has a lot of nerve his arrogance is upsetting me but I have a feeling that Saint will be the one to knock him off his high horse I just hope that Loyal won’t let him break her...

All in Comfort!!!

Man there's no where to start by telling you how good this whole series was. You can break this whole book down tell what parts you like and end up making your own book. I loved the book from Markell and Naomi having triplets and getting married and he giving her the love that she deserves. My brother Liam finally did the right thing by letting her go. Like the old saying goes you never miss a good thing till it's gone. I'm not gonna give away the whole book, just go read it for yourself I promise you'll enjoy it. Can't wait for 2022 spin-off.

Nice very nice

This series was so so so 🔥. I’m glad the sisters got what they got with their husband and kids. And my girl twinkle too. Now Mia need to grow up cause she really planted that seed in her husband and gave him the green light to cheat on her. But beatz could have been man enough not to do it so they both was wrong. So MIA needs to talk her blame with it as well. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more of them. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

AWESOME READ

I love this book from the first to the last. These characters are all about building their families and future. As females, we need good role models such as mothers, sisters and girlfriends to not only support us when we are right, but mature enough to correct us when we are in the wrong. I love the way the guys supported each other in their relationship and businesses, that’s some grown man stuff right there and I love it. I can’t wait for Mia and Loyal story to be told. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!

Still too much side deals, but still was good!

Although it was still too many extras, such as people from Mia and Beats, to Loyal and Saint, then Twinkle and Truth, then Melody and James, to the baby mamas: Sidnesha and Dream, it was still good. I understand that somehow somewhere everything was related but it didn’t need to give so many of them their own POV when this was truly about Markell, Naomi, and Liam.
In any case, this was still a work of beauty and MS. Johnson once again, you did your thang!!!!!

I don’t know who to love more Billion or Glizzy. Between this series and the previous I love how the Davidson sisters found comfort and real love in men who came from complete different walks of life then them. Naomi deserved every bit happiness Glizzy gave her. To endure so much pain and heartbreak in her first marriage God made sure she got happiness 10x over. I love the happy endings for Naomi, Normani, Loyal and Twinkle. I can’t wait to see what the outcome of Mia & Beats will be. And to see what’s yo come of Loyal and Saint.

Billionaire and Normani are so funny! I was hollering with that car scene that I was laughing so hard that my sides hurt!

What can I say about Liam!!!! We all know the saying, you don’t miss something until it’s gone! I still got no sympathy for him: and the way he treated Naomi! He’s straight trash, and to crawl back because his world crumbled. He needs to take several seats!

Some parts of the book is a setup for another series, and there’s some loose ends. The next series will be straight up drama!

Great Read

Liam got to see that the grass wasn't greener on the other side, but in typical Liam fashion he was still being selfish. Markell was not going to continue to allow him to upset Naomi. Naomi was finally happy and being loved properly and Liam couldn't handle it. Each couple in this book was family and was completely happy with the exception of Mia. Can't wait to read their story. Great ending to this series!

Love them all😍

I absolutely love this Miami crew. 💗Noami was just what Glizzy needed. He thought he was gonna be in these streets but Noami changed all that. They were great together. She definitely got the comfort of a thug. It was refreshing to see all these thugs living legit.

Liam was out of his rabbit a*s mind😡

It was good to check-in with Norman and Billionaire. I can't wait for the next spin off. Great job MS. Diamond👌👏🙌🔥📝💦

Finale

I can’t wait for the spin off. Mia and Beatz have my heart palpitating and Loyal’s situation with Chance is making me cringe. I can’t wait to see what Saint does and how it all plays out. The finale was banging and wrapped up what needed to be. I can’t believe how 2 sadity girls like Naomi and Normani totally captured the hearts of 2 thugs like Markell and Billion. They took us on quite ride!

Couldn’t get enough 🔥🔥🔥

I loved and enjoyed this series so much I just couldn’t get enough of them. I just didn’t want it to end. I keep getting more and more angry when I keep seeing that I’m nearing the end of the book 🙄. I really loved and enjoyed the characters and the storyline. It was well written and definitely worth reading. Can’t wait for 2022 for the saga to continue. Fantastic job!

Good read!

I was just saying I feel like we didn’t get enough of Loyal and Mia storyline and bam.. here comes a spin-off ! I’m sure I’ll end up reading this book again, but it’s worth it. Hopefully Aaron will find love in this story.

Normani and Billionaire are hilarious, keep popping those babies out. I’m glad Naomi left the trifling pastor for Markell. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Absolutely worth the wait

I really thank you Diamond for keeping me entertained with these books. Loved this story of Markell and Naom. I must be really cold hearted because I never felt one bit sorry for Liam he got the ending he needed after treating Naomi so badly. Glad to see Denim finally got her mind right and started being a role model for her girls.
Overall another great book Diamond. Looking forward to Mia story.

Well now!!!

This ending was everything. I feel sorry for Liam in a way, that darn Tischina/Cassandra shouldn't have gotten away with her part in that mess. She was crying when her husband was killed what was he going to do without any money he was the crazy one for real. I'm so glad that Normandi. Twinkle, Billionaire, and Truth were in this series, it's always great to receive updates from other series. Great job Diamond D. Johnson

Tooo many unnecessary characters

Im sooo happy this book is over. Billion and normani already had a book why in earth they had so many chapters in this series is beyond me. I never write reviews I usually just give them a star but I the skimmed this book from beginning to end. It had way too many supporting characters that I just don’t understand why. I liked Glizzy and Naomi story but all the extra just turned me off.

Babies, babies and more babies!!!

Whew, this book was full of babies, babies and more babies!! Naomi and Markell got every you could hope for but so did Billion and Normandy who keeps dominating these characters but I love it. This ended the series with more to come with Mia and Beatz whose been quiet. He's messed up big time and all the characters seem to be feeling the effects as well. Can't wait to read more.

Diamond

You did that with this series and I loved it. I can’t wait to see what you have coming for the rest of this year. I was so happy that Naomi and Markell were happy to be together though I loved them as a couple along with everyone else. I want for Loyal and Saint to make it as well. I can’t wait for the spin-off. I can’t believe Chance though he’s a whole clown though.

It's the good men in this book for me!! Love that Naomi finally got to marry Grizzly, Liam knows he took a huge L. Billionaire had me crying laughing when Normani was having Currency in his car. I'm sick of Chance, he need to get lost. Hasn't been there for Dream now want full custody, absolutely not. I love how Saint be right there to make sure Loyal is good.

Another Hit Series!

Naomi and Markell’s story was an interesting blend of both their worlds. I honestly believe that Liam and Taschina got off too easy,especially Liam who considered himself to be a leader and “servant of God”. Looking forward to reading more about Loyal and Saint.
