No matter what he does, Dre continues to talk his way back into her bed. How much can Lexi take is the question. Or is the wood so good that she’s willing to take whatever he throws her way? He loves me, he loves me not , is something twenty-six-year-old Nivea Johnson constantly finds herself wondering when it comes to her son’s father, Kyree. He’s not only emotionally manipulative, but he’s a liar, a cheater, and undeniably toxic. Time after time, he proves to be no good for her.

She’s drawn to him, and despite knowing that she needs to walk away from Kyree, her heart and body refuse. She continues to turn a blind eye to his faults until an unexpected tragedy forces her to open her eyes. Will Nivea make the choice that’s long overdue? Or will she continue to let Kyree’s false promises and bedroom performance cloud her judgment?
Well ladies that cliffhanger wasn't what I was expecting at all. Now, this review is only in my opinion and if you've been blessed to never have dealt with a bum ninja before I tip my hat to you. For those of us that have this book fits a few women and men at some time or another. Lexi, wanted to be loved so bad she allowed Dre to treat her however he thought, I think it was more her self esteem than anything else, just because she had money that didn't matter. One thing is for certain people treat you as you allow them to treat you without apology. Lexi mom was a piece of work, although I related more to her and Raven than the other ladies. I refused to catch feelings and as long as the money was good than you could do whatever you wanted to do just take care of home and keep your shenanigans in the streets. How wrong was that although Raven didn't care about what she was doing to the other person one day she will slip. Lexi should've know how she met Dre and the drama in the beginning she should've run, but he showed her attention and she wanted to believe he cared for her. She's left looking like a fool and the sad thing is Dre is still gonna do whatever he wants to do to the next woman. Nivea was Lexi's cousin, best friend and maybe sister I don't know but wouldn't be surprised at all. Nivea had buzzards luck also when it came to men. She had her own bag her own car her own house and she had a son by a nothing ninja. She should have run after the first time she caught him in a lie or for the fact that she gave him everything and he couldn't even watch his seed. But she was thinking with her heart and her lady parts not her head. Kyree did what he wanted to do until Nivea finally was done! Once your done it doesn't matter what happens your finished. It usually will cost you something and it's usually a lot and all you were doing was being loyal to somebody that didn't deserve your loyalty at all. I look at the situation between Lexi and Nevea's moms it is something going on between them I wonder is Lexi and Nivea sister's? The secret is gonna come out I just hope the girls can move on and learn to love themselves so that when the next man comes along they think with their heads and not their lady parts or their hearts. Woman and men always make people treat you how you want them to treat you! Love yourself first so you can get love.
Oh wow! I wasn't shocked about what Raven revealed at the end. I swear Nivea and Lexi accepted anything from Kyree and Dre. Kyree and Dre both knew they were dealing with paid chicks and used them until they no longer could. Apparently broke D is amazing but Nivea and Lexi were all kinds of dumb with all the facts in their face. Ebony was just as dumb and I hope she gets what she deserves for lying. Kyree really exhausted all his options and I feel as though there's more about Lisa. Raven will get enough of using people and the way Lexi is set up I hope she doesn't continue to fall for bs. Dre can definitely kick rocks along with Kyree.
This book was great. I know a lot of readers may say how dumb and naive Lexi and Nivea are but who am I to judge when I've went through the same things a time or two. I hope Lexi and Nivea find them a man who loves them for them and not what they can do for them. Raven otta be ashamed of herself, but what happens in the dark always comes to the light. I hope she meets her match. I gotta feeling that even tho Lexi and Nivea are cousins, they sisters to. 💌💌
I never right a bad review, but this book just didn’t do it for me. I understand that as a female we have to learn our worth, but it took them WAY to long for me. I truly apologize for writing this and giving you three stars, I appreciate and respect your craft.
These ladies really captured what a lot of women go through everyday! Thank you for giving a voice and new viewpoint of the situation! Dre is The King of The broke D**k Crew! But MS. Raven! Her karma is going to hit her hard and when the cousins find out her secret they gonna lay her out! I can't wait for part 2!
So I already knew Raven was on some messy stuff and it looks like it’s only going to get worse. I hope the girls can really boss up next book cause they were weak as hell. The title was very fitting!
Wow this book was too good omg I couldn't stop reading it you guys did your thing with this one these no good men just trying to use the women for what they got instead of trying to get theyself together they just sad im glad they left them alone I just they got the strength to keep it that way cause of the drama they put them through I wonder is Lexi would want to talk to raven brother since he just coming home cant wait to read the next one to see what happens
Exactly what I expected! Lol I’m sure most of us can relate, he may not have been broke, but he wasn’t good for anything but That D!!! I really enjoyed reading this book, had me thinking if I was ever D-matized by a broke man!! Ladies I enjoyed this so looking forward to part 2
Good book about three women with their own relationship with men. Lexi and Nivea struggle with their no good men from their cheating and no good ways. While Raven is the opposite and uses men to get what she wants. Ready for book two
Whew chile this book shows how much some of us women to through and put up with. I hope the cousins find true love and I can't wait for part 2 cause Raven just shocked me
These in two in this book made youu want to slap the piss out of them. Aint no way the D can have you this stupid but then again it can. Im not built like that. Hopefully in Part 2, they find some common. sense
Giiiirrrrrllllll you did yo thang on this one!! Between Dre and Kyree Nevia and Lexi didn't stand a chance with all the kids and sex they were throwing around, and Raven is a whole got mess!! Can't wait for part two!!
I need more of this well written story. The title definitely describes the story within. All these sorry was men. Such a good read with some naive, gullible women. I can't wait for part two.
WOW...it's crazy how a person can see themselves in characters in a book. I have definitely been these characters once upon a time, but thank God for growth. Hopefully part 2 will show growth in these ladies because some of them are crazy!!!!!!!!
This book held my attention I hate how it made the girls look. I don't get females like this and never will.. Like don't you see your worth. What makes a female want to settle for something like this and see that you deserve so much more than to be somebody's walking mat. Let me stop be for I get pissed off. Say man this ain't it. I just know Raven ain't like these no good little boys. I'm looking at Kyree and Dre. Bj just might be own to something with questioning her. Don't let me forget Ebony she's another Raven. This stuff she pulled I'm like really your a whole female and you cool with this weak minded stuff your so called man doing and you feel bad bc you approached the next female about someone that ain't worth a piece gum
This book is describes exactly goes on in in a lot of relationships today. I'm glad nivea found her voice and kicked kyree out the house his actions had me even upset. Lexi need more will power and her father to check dre. As for raven I hope she gets what's coming to her for using the wrong man. I really enjoyed this book and the drama that followed the lives of these two successful women. Once you know better you do better.
Going through these pages these women was going through it for good D for real. Lexi was going through it but something told me Dre was lying again idiot. Nivea I knew she would finally give up but Kyree was foul for letting her do everything and not help. I’m thinking I’m mean in saying he got what he deserved. Raven she outcold like a man but she better watch it I’m glad her wish got granted though .
We as women take so much from these men. But these women were weak,vunerable and just plain senile. The proof was dead smack there and they still accepted bs. Will these women grow a backbone. Will Meech be the sane on with sense. I can't wait for pt.2 praying for growth and maturity
The title definitely fits this book. It describes the storyline and these characters. All these men were so sorry and only think with the wrong head. These women were so dumb, gullible and naive. I really hated the fact that every female was being used or being the user. Hopefully, they're wake up in the next installment.
This was wild! These women have so much going for them to have to be dealing with ain't ish fools. Raven oh Raven wth girl. This gone be so bad. I mean dang I get do what you gotta do but that close to home. That's crazy! Dre and Ebony fit for each other. Kyre say where ya put me because a dog in these streets better than him. Ik part 2 bout to be some mess
I am utterly speechless. When I say that Raven has to be the female version of Dre and Kyree. They ain't shit. So this whole time Dre as still with the other girl. For Lexi and Nivea to have so much going for themselves. They suck at picking a soulmate.
I really hope Lexi an Nivea find them some good men cause the ones they got is worthless. Raven need to get a clue... bj probably was a good dude til she ruined him cant wait for pt 2.
That bitch Raven is not right at all... Wow she need her ass whooping like no other this is the reason why I don't fk with female now they make you catch a case and do football years for some dump shit
The characters are interestingly the driving force of the book. Very urban and addictive. The female dependency on a man to feel completion is offensive but creates enticing roles.
The men women choose can help them or destroy them. That is true with these 2 business women who have it going on but the men are garbage. They have to learn the hard way. This book is lit ready for part 2 now.‼️‼️
