And it begins

This is why you gotta stay strong in your beliefs. It may seem hard especially when your desires seem to be overruling but are the consequences really worth it in the end? Looking forward to part 2 to see how this all goes down.

Mad Woman: Love Drove Her Crazy by Lady Lissa is a interesting story. Lady Lissa does a good job.

Maddie shouldn’t blame anyone but herself. She should leave him alone and focus on herself but she allows Smoke says something smooth talking to her ear. I believe that Tiffani and Smoke are rushing to marriage because she couldn’t let go her past relationship. Smoke should listen to Maddie because she told him that she doesn’t want to be part of his drama with Tiffani.

I can’t wait to read part two of this series.

Good Read:

Ok, jumping right in, I don't think Tiffany loves Lincoln. I think it's more about not being alone. She doesn't do anything a wife does to make her home or husband happy. It's all about her happiness. Lincoln married for the wrong reasons. He tried to fix Tiffany's insecurities with a long term commitment and that was instantly a recipe for disaster. Maddie can't be upset with anyone other than herself for losing out on Lincoln because she repeatedly refused his friendship/ romantic advances even after she'd begun to have feelings for him. Before she left for college, she could have made Lincoln hers and there would be no Tiffany. In this case she brought a lot of get heartache upon herself. I can't wait to see what unfolds next.

Definitely A Great Read

I knew from the moment I started reading there was going to be plenty of drama by the way it started out. At first I thought Nova was going to be one of those bitter friends that be hating. However she really just wanted what is best for Maddie. Maddie had tried her best to fight temptation but she ending up failing. Lincoln should of fixed his situation before trying to pursue something different. Tiffani got on my nerves with her whining and insecurities.

Maddie & Smoke
Spoiler alert:


















I love how the author tells the story from different perspectives. If Maddie wasn't playing hard to get in the beginning her and Lincoln could have been together. Tiffani had issues she needed to deal with before marriage. She pushed Lincoln away. He shouldn't have married her thinking that would rid her of her insecurities. I'm glad Nova and Josiah are still together after all these years even though she liked Smoke first. I'm looking forward to see how this story will unfold.

OMG

If I have to hear "I wanting marriage to work" one more time.... maddie just passed me off so much and she didn't even want Smoke. Tiffini was just a total cry babe. Every other page she was crying. I hate what happen to her and her baby but Damon, he said he didn't want you let it go. I wouldn't forgive Nova traitor ass. She was not a true friend. Always saying BFf , but u,telling tiffany everything
This was a redundant read and it was a repeat on through the whole book.

Mad Woman : LOVE DROVE HER CRAZY

This book was good from Start to finish !!! Tiffani worked my nerves the man was working and paying all the bills she was accusing him of cheating from the jump insecurity. She pushed her Husband right into another woman’s bed. Maddie played hard to get but once Smoke got a hold to her that all changed quick Maddie should have known drama would be right behind dealing with a married man ! PART 2 i need it quick

I’m confused

You start the book off with him leaving Maddie to go back to his wife cause his wife became pregnant but in the end we never run into the scene you started the book off with? I don’t like the fact that nothing happened in this book but I have to read another to probably find out nothing is gonna happen in the next I bet... I read this book till the end think I was gonna get more and got nothing.. I understand there is another book but this book I don’t like.

Wow!

Good read! Held my attention from beginning to end! So much drama and relationship situations that were at times happy and sad. Tiffani really lost it when her marriage fell apart. She gave new meaning and warnings to a woman scorned. Didn't expect that ending but always felt the connection between Smoke and Maddie. Very good and by being a standalone my mind is satisfied with the ending and not wondering "what if". Lady Lissa never disappoints!

Loved it!

As usual this author did not disappoint. What in the world was Maddie thinking? This is one messed up love triangle with her, Smoke , and Tiffani. I have no words to describe the craziness. I blame Maddie. She new that Smoke was married from the very beginning, but she just had to be a thot. Now she's in too deep. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

Great read

At first I thought Maddie was bogus for messing with this married man. But after reading about tiffani who can blame him. Cheating is wrong but u also can only push a person so far...I guess Lincoln was tired. Did it make it right for him to cheat. No....but I understood

Good read!

Good book. Sometimes shit happened. You can't control everything. You just have to roll with the punches. But men do push and push until they get what they want. As long as all the cards not on the table it's all good. But as soon everything is laid out and it's not secretive anymore, the real life begins.

Love will make you do some crazy things

Lady Lissa did it with this one . She made sure we all knew there’s levels to love . A difference between being in love and loving someone. I’m glad Maddie and Lincoln had their happy ever after. I’m also happy she forgave Ava but knows she won’t forget. Would love and update about Smoke and had Boo.

Mad Woman

A good read a few twist and turns blow my mind. What can I say about Tiffani, maybe I was biased I didn't like her from the jump. The more she popped up the less I liked her. Josiah and Nova both caught me off guard. Let's just say Maddie better than me in regards to what Nova did.

Omg

A wonderful read. It's sad when you love someone but that somebody doesn't love you back. Nova broke the bff rule but glad the friendship could make it through it all. Tiffani was beyond fatal attraction. Going to someone house you never know what they willing to do to protect their home as well as their peace

Wow!

Although this was an older book, I really enjoyed it. Man, love will make you do some crazy things and Tiffani was proof of that. One thing is for sure, the heart wants what the heart wants and Smoke’s heart wanted Maddie and there was absolutely nothing that Tiffani could do about it. Good read, well written, flowed well and kept my attention.

.

Now that was a petty ending if I ever seen one.. Tiffani just got on my last nerves. She knows that her marriage is ending.. Can't blame her for trying though.. Maddie should have just left Lincoln alone.. Part 2 me please!!

Fast paced attention grabbing storyline. I think Maddie is going to continue to find herself in the middle of unnecessary drama dealing with Smoke. She should really listen to BFF Nova & take heed. I'll see what she does in the next part. Great read

Good start

Why am I rooting for Smoke and Maddie? Who would feel secure in a relationship that started off with cheating and deception? I'd hate to be in Tiffani's shoes but it seems this marriage was destined for failure. Can't wait to see how this ends.

This book was a quick read. It seemed a little rushed to be honest. The characters didn’t have enough time to fall “in love” the way that they did but still interesting nonetheless. Also be prepared for a tad bit of redundancy.

It really has

Maddie don't know what she gotten herself into. Smoke going to have her going thru the ringer. Tiffani ain't going to hold them up. She going to fight for her Husband. Nova was trying to warn her. Into the next book.

Ooh wee nobody does it

Quite like Lady Lisa, when you pick up her books and start reading she just pulls you in. I haven't read not one book by her I didn't like. Once again I encourage everyone who reads to check her out. You won't be disappointed.

Busted

Now Maddie knew it was wrong for her to get involved with Lincoln. The way you get the man is the way you lose him. Now Tiffani finally got the balls to see where he’s been going. Damn so good, who will end up in love or hurt?

What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive! This was all kinda messy. Lincoln was dead wrong for tryna move forward without closing the other door. Can't wait to see how this drama unfolds.

Well damn

You can't help who you love! No matter how much you fight if your heart is not there it's not there. Marrying someone but not being in love with them is foul from the beginning. Thinking a baby will keep someone is even dumber. Karma is definitely a b***h!
