I am new to this author and she did not disappoint👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾👍🏾. I’ll definitely be reading more by her. I loved Free and Bishop😍. I was kinda scared in the beginning but they worked it out!!! This was a great urban holiday read. There was ❤️ love, laughs😂, drama 🎭 and some sexy grown folk doing grown folks😂. I was here for it all!!!! I could see a spin off about Meek👀. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!!!
Ok, Queen Bianca Marie gave us a drama-filled Christmas novella. If toxic motherfudgesicklestix was a person, it would most definitely be Joy😔. Now I felt bad for those babies after everything went down, but that bih got everything she deserved. The disrespect she showed Bentley, her daughters, hell herself by not only smashing the homie but doing that ish where you lay your head, while your daughters are home😳😡. Yeah, she deserved ALL THAT KARMA, Trail too. Bentley effed up with Free by not being honest about his home life. But boy that ish she did was wrong asf, she was definitely on some bitter ish. Not saying something at first I can understand because of what she went through behind his bs and lies. But once she had not settled in her new life she should've contacted Bentley. Then that attitude she had towards him, the wishy washy ish, straight wanted to punch her in the face🙄😔😂🤷🏽. One thing about Bentley, he didn't eff around when it came to his babies. Ain't nothing sexier than a family man who on his boss ish. I really enjoyed Bentley and Frees story💕 Dice and Faith got their karma too cause that sh*t they did was just grimy asf, especially Faith cause you shi**ed on your family for a bih who in the end still didn't want you🤡
Faith knew she dead wrong for inviting Dice to Thanksgiving dinner and for trying to shoot Freedom. She jealous from the jump. Now, look her and Dice lawyers. Bentley had every right to be mad at Free. He missed out on two-years of his son's life. Her daddy was to sneaky. How could Dice go from sister? I kind of feel sorry for Joy but she brought that on herself. Free always loved Bentley. Even when he thought he could have his cake and eat too. Frankie is going to drive Meek crazy now that she's pregnant. Everything happens for a reason. They were just meant to be together. I like the letters their mama left them.
Bentley was Bentley you didn't expect alot from him he was who he was! Bentley was with this young lady and they had 2 kids he was definitely a family man. But when he got the taste of Freedom he didn't know what he wanted. Freedom and joy and Bentley had it out. But an unexpected move to a new town turned out to be everything Bentley needed and then some. So glad that Bentley and Freedom rekindled their love affair !
Bentley and Bishop are baes. Bentley should have been honest with Free and his home life. Joy was dumb as hell. Instead handling Bentley she want after the woman. She had no leg to stand either because she was cheating too. But lying and saying they were married was the wrong move on her end. It cost her more than she bargained for. Her kids. I can't wait to read Bishop's story. Faith and Dice got what they deserved.
Loved her sister wasn’t ish! I did feel bad for Joy in the end. Although she brought what happened on herself. She was foul. Somethings are unforgivable. Dice was wrong too! Something was mentally wrong with Faith and you can’t tell me it wasn’t! I have to read Bishop book now!
What an excellent read...I just love Bentley...what an excellent Christmas read but all your books are excellent...so sad about Joy but so happy for Bentley & Freedom...when he read that letter from his mother 😭...Dice and Faith got what they deserved...can't wait to read your next book 🔥🔥🔥
I just love me some Bentley, like he's genuine and gentle with Freedom and they're just perfect. It hurt my soul when it was revealed that Faith was sleeping with Dice smh. Bentley finding out Joy was sleeping with Trail as well the betrayal was real, overall it was a great read 😘
I loved it! Bianca never let's me down and she didn't with this story either. I can't wait to see where life takes them from here. Looking for a great story to read this is the one
Wow. Bentley was the man. Ge was even a bigger man for his family. Glad he got his girl in the end. Joy was to comfortable. Great read of both Bishop & Bentley….
Bianca, you and Ebony did your thang with Bently and Bishop. I hope it's more to the story. Free came and did you she was supposed to do and that was fall in love with Bentley. Such a great read.
Bianca strikes again. This was a great plot. I love how this author shows the love that a gangsta displays to his woman, family, and friends. Bentley was everything. I was rooting for him and Freedom, however, I wish Joy could've gotten it together for herself.
I knew it was something weird about the sister. Joy and Bent definitely needed to go their separate ways. Sometimes people grow and change and are not meant to be together!
I loved this story from beginning to end. Faith and dice were trash. Joy was crazy about Bentley and ultimately died. It was so much going on but it flowed well
Very good read it was short story but it's was a nice read.Het sister was a little crazy it's carzy how the baby come back his I thought it was his homeboy
