Rate this book
Everyone wants to have about a Bae, but only those who go through it knows what it’s like to keep your BAE. With Tammy stuck with Rick’s infidelity sitting in her face she has to face whether or not she wants to do the right thing or what her heart's telling her to do. Everyone knows Tammy is good for running and pushing everyone away when things get hard, but with Latrell there it prevents Tammy from going back to a habit she’s known her entire life. Then, her life is altered when she finds out something might be wrong with Ricky. Will Tammy let the pressure make her crack? Or will she allow Latrell to take some of the burden she’s carrying?

Avon is stress free and enjoying her career. While living in Los Angeles, she gets cozy with the director of her new show, but can’t move on because Ace is in her mind. Her mind gets back to thinking of what could have been, instead of moving on. When she gets back to New York and finds out that Ace hasn’t moved on and is waiting for her, will she get back with him? Or will she continue to leave what they had in the past?

When you’re done; you’re done and there is nothing Iesha could do. Ace is ready to be with Avon and give her his all. He wants nothing more than to make her his and pick up where they left off. Except, Avon isn’t so quick to forgive. What happens when he finds out that Avon arrived in New York, but she’s not alone?

Essence is stuck between a rock and a hard place. With the truth of what Honey and Kamari did behind her back, she stuck. She loves Kamari and all that they have, but doesn’t want to be back in a relationship based off lies. With the hate brewing in Honey, she’s ready to rid her son from Essence anyway possible, even bringing up some skeletons that Kamari hid back in Houston when he boarded the plane to New York. Will Essence be willing to fight for what she has with Kamari or throw in the towel? Sept is up and finally ready to get his life together. Thinking he has another chance to make what he messed up with Essence right, he takes a chance. Will Essence fall back into bed with Sept over Honey’s revelations?

In this drama filled sequel, things are sure to take off and secrets will be revealed. In the end, let’s face it, there can always be one BAE.

This series keeps getting better and better

I could read about these characters everyday and not get tired of them....I love how Tammy accepted Eli and is making sure he has the best education, Latrell is a great dude. Essence needs to get her stuff together. Poor Ace, Iesha is a crazy ass baby mama and is inky thinking of her self. I hope little Amerie wakes up and is okay. Hopefully Avon gets her stuff together and her and Ace figures it out. I can't wait for the next part

Whewww! Everybody want a BAE 'til they see what it takes to KEEP one!
Tammy’s trying to keep her peace, Avon’s playing tug-of-war with her heart, and Essence is at her breaking point. She’s one Honey tantrum away from snapping and I would’ve BEEN swung.

Jahquel J came back swinging with heartbreak, hard choices, and enough emotional damage to make you wanna call your own ex just to cuss him out.
The drama? Premium. The stakes? HIGH. The love? Still complicated AF

The hits keep coming!

The author just needs to let them be happy. Just when Ace and Avon finally get together something else happens. I hope Ace lets Avon help him and he doesn’t push her away. I was rooting for Essence and Kamari but they are both working my nerves. Tammy is the best, but once again her mom is doing some scandalous mess.

169 pages of pure stress and anxiety

Essence and Iesha are BY DAMN FAR the slowest damn two in the book. I mean the way they piss me off be having me forgetting this isn’t nonfiction. Add Avon ass to the mix and I’m blowing a gasket!!!

Tammy can’t catch a break to save her life. Avon ass done slept with a man she barely knows RAW, got pregnant and fired all in 24 hours. Iesha ass can’t just move on gracefully and using her kids as pawns. Essence double back to a damn crackhead that cheated on her and had a baby on her but having the audacity to complain about Kamari is hypocritical as hell. Jahquel, you get me so invested in these damn books!!! I’m cursing the characters out and sipping glasses of wine to calm my damn blood pressure down!!

And to Cecilia ass, I hope she has a damn heart attack or gets killed off in the next book you raggedy money hungry heaux!!! On to the next series 😩😩😩

All the way live

This spin off is entertaining as ever. It will make you laugh, get emotional and throw hands. As the story opens Tammy find herself in search of Rocks kid. She actually behave better that I thought she would. She however is still giving Latrell a hard way to go, while trying to console Ricky. Avon career is progressing, until a sudden uh-oh changes all of it. She faced with a ddlimma and get her love life back on track. Ace still dealing with the deceitful baby mama from hell. Iesha is so selfish. Essence and Kamari are still working it out and that tyrant that is Kamari is even more vindictive. Secrets are coming ingredients out the woodworking and and the bedroom. Tammy is about to flip, and I know when Moet finds out is going to be a storm.

😳

What in the world. Tammy’s mother is wild. 😂😂😂.

All of this back and forth with Essence and Sept is ridiculous. I think she’s going to get back with him. It couldn’t be me. Forget the drugs he had a baby on her.

Ace and Avon both need to grow up.

Tammy continues to be my favorite ❤️

This book had me hooked from beginning to end I can wait to read part 3! Poor Tammy I can't believe Rick had another child and then when she accepted that she finds out that little Ricky has autism. Then get served with paper from her deceased husbands mom wanting full custody of his son is too much! Can't wait to find out how it is all handled. I can't believe Avon got pregnant by a married man then got an abortion. Wow!! While still in love with Ace the whole full time geez they love really can't catch a break! Then with Ace's daughter being in a coma too made it even worse. Geez! Then Essense and Kamari entire relationship continues to be tested throughout every book so I hope it last in book 3. Please hurry with part 3!!!

I loved this book I can’t wait for the next book. I want every couple to make it. I honestly don’t want Tammy to lose custody of Eli she’s been through a lot. I feel like Cecilia just want money though.

I'm so frustrated when it comes to Ace and Avon, they are really getting on my nerves with all this back and forth stuff. It's obvious they are in love with each other, but both of them are so selfish and stubborn....the two of them either need to try to make it work, or they need to move on. They are both all over the place, and it's emotionally draining! Ace needs to put his foot down when it comes to the mother of his children. She's obviously bitter, and until she grow up, she won't ever like Avon, and both Ace and Avon need to accept it, and move on,

Poor Tammy, I can't even imagine having to be so much in love with her deceased husband, and finding out that he has a love child during her marriage. She might talk a good game, but her heart is pure gold. Now, she has four months to feed, and Latrell isn't being fair to Tammy. Also, Latrell is not listening to her... he hear her, but he's not getting it, and Tammy is really frustrated, and I can't blame her. Everyone needs a break, but when will she get her break?! Also, just when she have all of this going on, she finds out that her best friend's father, is having an affair with her mother. Does she remain loyal to her best friend, and tell Moët, or does she let the cards just play out?

Essence needs to follow her heart, and I really believe that Sept is the one for her. Kimari needs to be with Mareesa, and it's obvious they both should have been with each other, instead of bringing other ppl's emotions into it. Kimari, also needs to stand up to his mother. The disrespect that Essence tolerates from Kimari's mother is unreal, and Essence needs to stand up for herself, and demand the respect that she deserves.
