Never Wanted to Be Wifey

by Jahquel J.

If you had to describe Minka Santos, it would depend on who you asked. To wives, she’s a home-wrecking, gold-digging whore. But to their husbands she’s the best they ever had. To her family, she’s simply a girl whose mother swept her under the rug so no one will ever know about her or her absentee father. Minka lives the life most want; nice car, house and endless amounts of money. But is she happy? Just when Minka is ready to give up on love, she meets a Micah. Micah shows Minka that a man should value his woman and she was made to be a wife. While falling head over heels with Micah, will everything come crashing down when Micah finds out about her past? Or will Micah also have a couple of skeletons in the closet as well? For someone who never wanted to be a wife, will she end up being one?

Warning: Ridiculousness Ahead

Jaquel, how you gonna do your readers like this.

1 star for the lack of errors. Everything else is a negative star (if I could).

Minka went to the bathroom. Minka walked in the bathroom and undid her belt, lowered her Black Gucci pants and sat on the toilet. Minka really had to pee. - THIS IS WHAT YOU GAVE US 🤣. I promise this is how the whole book sounds.

Then all the Tella-Novella stuff she threw up in here made me want to cry for all its ridiculousness.

Minka could have been a dope character and her situation could’ve been a great storyline until it all went left field.

Do not pass the cover, do not collect credit for reading this. Save yourself please .. Ain’t no way I’m reading book 2.

If you've ever been the villain in someone else's story, this one is for you. This book had me whispering, “Girl, don’t do it,” while flipping pages like, “Oop… she did it.” Off bat, Minka’s life is messy, she’s misunderstood, and honestly? I felt bad for her. She’s the definition of “use what you got to get what you want.” And that secret we found out at the end about Minka’s life? BABY, I was shocked. Mouth open. Didn’t see it coming.

I really wanted to love this book, but I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters. Their choices didn’t resonate with me, and at times, I honestly struggled to get through it. That said, the author definitely knows how to keep you hooked—the story ends on a major cliffhanger. So even though I’m skeptical about diving into part 2, curiosity might win.

Messy…

Whew! There was a lot to unpack in this book! This story follows Minka Santos, a high priced escort, I’d say. Her logic is simple she handle her clients wants and needs and they tak care of her lavish lifestyle. That is all fine and dandy until Minka meets and falls in love with NFL player, Micah Jackson. Micah had a rendevous sometime ago with Minka’s friend Sasha but it was nothing too serious, at least not to Micah. Micah later finds out that his cousin Donovan is dating Sasha, not knowing that Sasha initially did’nt know that they were cousins but stayed with Donovan only to get close to Micah. In her mind Micah is her man! Sasha has set a series of plans in motion to break Micah and Minka up causes much havoc along the way. I have to say there was something going all throughout the book. I do think that the plot could have been lot smoother it seemed to have been all over the place. I do plan to read the second book though! I need to know about these crazy characters!

oooweee what a mess

Juelz is not dead, he gone be back on drugs and mess up again. I hope Ashley won’t have no regrets anymore especially when she find out he trying to destroy her. Micah don’t have no good sense do he, they should have filed a restraining order on that Sasha all them weird vibes she giving off. Lisa how you jealous and you married! Minka keep being the boss you are and raise Miya and keep it moving

Whew chileeeeee

Wait, WHAT!!!!! I wasn't expecting this book to end like that. Not Juelz coming back from the dead. This Sasha character is too crazy for me, and she's making trouble for EVERYONE. George is a monster and very disgusting. I have no words for him and Wlliam. I believe part 2 is going to be something, and I can't wait to read it.

Mic Drop!!!

I’m shaken to my core. The drama, the pain, the loss, the love, and the heavy weight of a generational curse—it all hit me deep. Sweeping things under the rug doesn’t make them disappear, it only festers until it explodes. My heart is racing, and I can’t click on the next book fast enough. I need to feel how this ends.”

😳😳

This was a really good book. I knew somebody didn't die.... I need Micah and Minka to get it together. All these folks is crazy but will there be a Minka and Micah in part 2? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm ready to see what goes down in part 2

I wasn't sure about Minka at first but she definitely grew on me. I like her and Ashley's friendship even though they both didn't truly appreciate one another at first. That ending though!!

Jahquel

I loved this book it was fire from the beginning to the end. Sasha is definitely crazy though omg she’s getting on my nerves. I hope that Minka and Ashley doesn’t get in trouble I really wish that they made sure that Juelz was dead though.

Hyped for part 2

I hope Sasha meets her Karma quick. Micah and Minah have a lot to do to try and fix them. I love this storyline it definitely kept me. Read this book in one day, now I'm excited for part 2

[Robin Perryman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just Okay

It was okay. Not the most exciting story. It took awhile for me to get into it. I didnt connect with any of the characters. I did like the end and I'm hoping the next part is better. I'm gonna read it just to see and because I already downloaded it.

[fuquan holmes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Either your wifey or your not

It wouldn't be a Jahquel book if I wasn't rushing to get to the next part. If you're looking for a book that has betrayal, revelations, love and scandals . Look no further.

Secrets

So many secrets that changed a lot of lives. George and William are some dirty men. Minka deserved better than the hand she was dealt. I hope her and Micah can work things out. Sasha is crazy for real.

[claudette johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

[christina hood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh snap oh snap

I thought Juelz was dead. I guess he ain't learned his lesson yet with snitching and drugs. This is not going to end well.

[Ureca Cook · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really don’t know what to say about this dysfunctional mess going on in this book series. Just sick, disgusting and crazy

[Mel · Rating 3 out of 5]

rough

a lot of choppiness with the writing and hard to get into because of it but I’m invested enough in the characters to finish out the ride
