you’ll realize what you lost sooner than later and at that point, it will already be to late… all i ask is that you forget me, forget us, cause this is something i no longer wish to be a part of, not even the memory…

I read this book a few years ago and gave it a low rating. I am pleased with the updated revamp. I like Grip, and I’m hoping this is a series.

A Must Read
I understand why Amira kept a lot to herself and chose to suffer in silence. She has a lot of family but still felt alone around them. Had Layla paid attention to Amira. She would've known her daughter needed her. Grip seems to be the only person who saw the real her. After suffering a loss,along with hiding their relationship, and her insecurities. Their relationship ended. Drew disgusted me. His callousness and cold demeanor towards Amira after she lost their child sickened me. I felt sorry for Amira because there's a lot of women who feel less than for not being able to carry a child. Grip definitely stepped up to support her mental and emotionally although they weren't together. He also was able to make one of her most important dream's come true. Remee should've just told Rumor about Jayda popping up. Instead he hid it. Which caused Rumor to think the worst.

Five 🌟 READ
This book was so worth the wait. I loved everything about this book. As always Tina Marie did not disappoint. From the time I started reading till I finished this book captured and held my attention. Cahir is still my boo. When that nut said he was gonna kill Drew on his birthday as a gift to himself I was done😂😂😂😂. When he said crazy know crazy he was right cause Jasmine was bat💩 crazy. But I bet she wasn't crazy enough to test Grip's mental state tho. I love Grip, he is my second favorite. He got a few misplaced screws but it still didn't take away from the love he had for Amira. He loved her through all her insecurities. He gave her a gift that couldn't be matched by anyone else. I'm so glad Remee and Rumor finally got their happy ending. If you've read The Committed Side Chick 1-3 then you're gonna love Grip and Amira's story.💟💟

Misconception Can Cause Mad Misunderstanding!
Tina, great read. Thank you for the updates on the McKenzie Clan. Amira always felt she never had a place in her family, her family never saw the real young woman, because her brothers kept her on a pedestal treating her as if she wasn't able to have her own mind.
Remee has grown so much he really wants that forever life with Rumor, she is his heartbeat as he is hers, finally they understand that. It was so nice seeing Sire, Cahir. standing strong on their square.
Amira had so many demons inside of her, she never felt worthy but God sent her an angel that she felt she didn't deserve. Grip, showed Amira A love so great she was so scared to just accept it. Grip, stood strong on his square and never wavered. He got what he wanted and in the end true love prevailed.
Great Read.🤗🤗🤗🤗

A look at reality
I love the fact that Amira finally stood up for herself and did what she wanted to have the love and peace she so desired. Drew and Jasmine were both very selfish and I'm glad they got what they deserved.
Those closest to you are the same ones that are able to hurt you the most. You hold on to them because that's what society tells you that you should do out of loyalty and respect, but people need to normalize being able to have peace, even if it means cutting off those they think you're obligated to hold on to. When Amira does this, that is when her mother and brother finally respect her and begin to treat her like they always should have. Grip was very protective of her and messed up her head a few times, as life would have it. Yet, he was there every time she needed him and finally matured to be who she needed.

This was a great spin off but I wish it wasn't a standalone. I love the Mckenzie clan especially Cahir, but Grip is a new favorite. I loved the chemistry between Grip and Amira from the beginning. Grip was a great match for Amira and showed her love through her insecurities and gave her the best gift ever when she thought it wasn't possible. And Grip is just as crazy as Cahir. Oh and little Cassian is acting just like Cahir and he is not playing behind his cousins or his daddy. Aunt Loretta had to find out the hard way that Eternity and Cassian aint playing no games about Cahir. If Tina Marie does another spin off I hope its on Cahir and Eternity.

Good read
I really enjoyed catching up with the McKenzie family. I loved Grip For Amira. He sweet and rude. I can't understand how she put up with Drew so long. Why didn't Grip every tell Mira what really happened the night she lost their child. Jasmine was crazy. I love Cahir and Eternity..They ride for each other. Rumor got on my last nerves with her insecure self, but I'm glad everything worked out. Alaya didn't play about her daddy Remee, she ride for her dad😁😁 Casian took care of his cousins and didn't let anyone mistreat them. The story seemed to be rushed and didn't get a chance to see Grip and Amira grow.

It was okay
I'm not gonna like at first I wasn't feeling this book at all. I was reading and thinking spin-off? Amira & Grip. No this can't be it. It was slow it didn't seem to flow and connect with the previous three books. I actually stopped reading and stared back at 3am good thing I did. The book actually picked back up and actually. Me personally if I had to choose a spin-off couple to have did a book on would have been on Cahir and Eternity because it seem like they would have a better story to tell. This book just didn't do it for me.

Must Read!!!
Remee and Rumor are a little toxic for each but the love they share is undeniable. I'm glad they gave each other some space. It gave them time to think, grow, and figure out if they really wanted to be together. I'm glad it worked out in the end. The way Grip loves Amira is unbelievable. She tried to push him away but it didn't work. They are truly soulmates. What he did for Amira because of her fertility situation was extraordinary! I loved the ending. I really enjoyed reading this series.

Once again, Tina did not let me down!!! Cahir is my Bae & he definitely made me proud!!! He was always on point and very observant. Amira was hard headed & gave poor Grip a hard time. I love how he handled her though. Rumor and Remee are still a mess, lol. But I know they will be alright. This standalone was FIRE. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I love the way it ended!!! GREAT READ!!!!

Hmm
Idk. I felt like there were parts of the story that I missed. Characters that wasn’t introduced. Bombs that were dropped but didn’t blow up because it was so random. Random people. Sometimes I was left confused. I felt like I may have been reading a spin-off of some sort and needed to go back and read the other ones but this was a stand alone. Seemed like the book was rushed I like the cover tho.

Page turning read
I was so excited when this book dropped. Amira and Grip just wow. They had a connection that neither of them understood, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Fear and Family stood in their way so many times. This was a great love story. A page turner full of drama. I cried, laughed, cheered and was all in my feelings all in one book. This was for sure a great read and follow up to the storyline. The ending was just amazing.

Good read
The title of the book didn’t really go with the book but I guess it did….. I don’t know like how they did Amira cause she went through so much in silence, I loved the way Grip loved her….. and his gift to her was crazy as fuck cause that wouldn’t be something I would want to be surprised with let me know but all and all it was a terrific book. I would recommend it.

What a great story!😍. Grip and Amira was a match made even though she had her own insecurities which is to be expected. I'm glad her family fell in line they always doing the most. Grip did the sweetest thing a man can do to make his woman happy. Which had my heart fluttering . Great love story I'm glad the love outweighed the Drama

This book had me not wanting to put it down. I get why Amira left after losing the baby. That’s a hard thing to deal with. When they finally see each other again you see the love they had for each other never left. Grip girlfriend was crazy and I’m glad nothing happened to Amira. They worked everything out. Great book

That dang Grip got more than a couple screws loose but the way he went up to bat for Amira is what I love!!! After years past the love was still there and strong! Glad Remee and Rumor got their happily ever after they deserved it. And Drew and Jasmine both got exactly what they deserved! Very good read finished in a couple hours!

I wanted more. I was not ready for this book to end. Amira made me so mad a few times throughout the book. Grip is definitely bad goals. I’m glad she gave him another chance. jasmine was a real nutcase I’m glad grip saw that before it was too late. Drew was horrible. I’m glad his true colors came to light Amira didn’t need a man like that.

Another good read
Good read! Amira actually got on my nerves being so suspicious and quick to jump to conclusions. Grip’s role as a leader was confusing because he would not stay away from side chicks for the most part. I will eventually read this story again because it’s worth it.

I'm glad Rumor and Remee finally got it together and got married. I was do upset that Mira found the lamest dude to try and stick out with, I wanted to fight him myself. Grip coming back and claiming what's his had my heart jumping. Especially when he made sure she got her babies.
December 22, 2021
Man
