Math Professor Wood definitely taught the right subject at Hughmoore because he was the common denominator in this drama filled story!! Chyyyyyy this book was so d*mn messy!! If this is the sought after HBCU college experience, I want zero parts 😆🙅🏽‍♀️

Yasmean was looking forward to a new start at a new school in a new town after leaving a toxic situation with her ex and got way more than she bargained for when she had two men vying for her attention. I mean who wouldn’t enjoy the chase of the top football player and the professor every woman on campus wants to take to pound town. Things escalated quickly in this book and I found myself yelling out on multiple occasions 🗣️IKYFL!!!

There were so many sub characters and side stories that were interconnected that I can even begin to break them all down because we would literally be here all day. Just know that in EVERY situation, Professor Wood was a 🗑️ 🍑 🥷!!!

If you’re looking for a messy good college story, you’re definitely going to enjoy this one!

Let’s just say Professor Wood’s name was very fitting and I’m surprised that no one got splinters 🪵.This was a good ole roller coaster ride and I feel like I need to be tested for STD’s after reading this.

Whew chile, almost every character in this book was a mess and drama followed them everywhere they went. With that being said, it made for a really fun read! Glad those that were doing people dirty got what they deserve. Everything came full circle in the end as well as some important lessons being learned.

One word to describe this story was messy…now this had plot twist after plot twist. Keenan got off too easy. I’m glad Kadia got what she deserved. Dulcie and Darren finding love was too cute. Omere applied pressure Yasmean had no choice but to fold. I’m glad they got their HEA even Aracely.

This book did not lack drama! If only college was this crazy when I attended lol! Who knows, maybe it did. Professor Wood was crazy and definitely took advantage of his students. Omere could do no wrong!! I loved his honesty and his real intentions. I would have loved to see more of the relationships between the characters but nonetheless this kept me entertained.

I was looking for the mess and I found it! I can’t believe Keenan is the common denominator between everyone. I had a time reading this one!

[Carissa G · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this while I worked and absolutely loved it!!!! The twists and turns really twisted and turned LOL!!! Every time I thought I had something figured out, something else would happen! It was messy, and the Professor was absolutely crazy!!! LOL!

Oh my

I need more. I like me some Yasmean and Omere. This was good. Everything always come out and the end. The couples don't even have much time to be together, before its epilogue time.

[L.D. Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, the drama! If you’re in the mood for a messy story set on a fictional HBCU campus, this one will definitely keep you entertained. There was a lot going on in this story—secrets, scandals, and plenty of questionable decisions. I will say, Professor Wood is the perfect name for this MMC because his wood clearly ruled his world. If you enjoy chaotic characters and campus drama, this will be a fun ride.

[Nay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

I loved this!
Started off with a bang!
Yasmeans energy was everything!!! She was honestly my favorite!
Kommunity D Keenan! Smh
The way everything was revealed was jaw dropping! Shvonne knows how to write a book!!!!

Messy Bessy!

Yasmean Haley is in her 3rd year of college but her first year on campus at a University because she spent her first 2 years at a community college chasing behind her unfaithful ex boyfriend. Now she is done with gang relationship she starts at the University, freshly broken up and shortly after finding herself in a love triangle. Yasmean meets her math instructor professor Keenan Woods and falls heads over heels with him…well kinda, maybe, she thinks…that is until her roommate Dulcie introduces her to her older brother and star football and bad boy, Omere Kreed. Although Yasmean and Keenan are a secret she tries to stay loyal to him but Omere’s persistent. After feeling Yasmean pulling away from him, Keenan becomes unraveled allowing his secrets to reveal themselves. This was a very messy read! Every character was involved in mess that intertwined all of them together! Loved this!

Omere was the truth💕

Queen Shvonne Latrice really gave us one drama filled, plot twist after plot twist love story.
Whew Chil, if 🗑 a** community 🍆 motherfudgesicklestix was a person it would most definitely be Neil and Professor Wood🙄. These ninjas have being a 🗑 a** ninja a whole new meaning. The beyond used their power to manipulate and take advantage of the women they came in contact with. They both got what they deserved for all the hell they put those women through, especially Yas. It's the audacity for me.
Arcely got the ultimate revenge and I lmao when she spilt that 🍵 to the Professor trifling a**😳😂😂
Khadia got her karma too for not only try to put a baby on Omere, but to try and set him up to list everything🙄😡. I really wanted Yas to tag that disrespectful ho at least once.
Karen was a motherfudgesicklestix and I was here for all the shenanigans she pulled to get back at the Professor 🗑 a**🤷🏽
Dulcie was so dang secretive, so her doing the Professor didn't surprise me at all. I lived Darren, so I was glad she finally stopped putting her life on hold for that community🍆🗑 of a ninja Professor Wood. Darren was a real one and he proved that he was definitely worthy of her time.
Omere fine sexy BDE motherfudgesicklestix😍😜! The played no games when it came to his future, providing for his mom and sister, and the way he pursued the ish out of Yas. He was so intentional with his pursuit and Bay-be he was my kind of nasty😜😂.

Amazingly good read‼️

Neil was trash 🤦🏾‍♀️ but that damn Professor Wood was bottom of the barrel trashhhhhhhhh. I thought he really had a thang for Yasmean and was literally shocked when all the his dirty little secrets came out.

I thought Dulcie was lesbian but she was being secretive because she too was caught up thinking she was in a relationship with Professor Wood. I would’ve never thought that Khadia was apart of his harem of students with the way she displayed her obsession with Omere. Whew baby that darn professor was really a cold piece of work chile, manipulative ass 🤦🏾‍♀️ had all these girls thinking he was gone be with them after their graduation.

Khadia got what she deserved and Professor got what he deserved. Aracely was too good for him and he knew it. When I read she married his cousin I was like nah sis you don’t get a ninja back like that but oh well he deserved that too lol.

Omere and Yasmean were the cutest, the chemistry was undeniable. Omere set out to make her his and he did just that. Ugh I hate to see them go but I loved that this was a standalone.

[Aeriell · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book theme was really community d*** with a side of delusional because WTF!! If you think having an affair with your fine young college professor is hot and sexy wait until you read this.. Like at first I was like hmmm…maybe??? Then I was completely disgusted. I mean it just got perpetually worse especially when you get further along with that characters and his supporting character storyline. Once you got past that college professor and his many lies that didn’t make sense the college romance was kind of like an afterthought. I mean very realistic content in some regard but it was both overwhelming like omg enough of this and underwhelming in the telling of certain characters perspective. I honestly wish we would’ve got more of Aracely and her perspective because how did we get there?? This was an easy, chaotic read.

[Jen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Every Single Character is delusional

Every single character was delusional and of low moral character. If your not a fan of cheating then this book is not for you cause every character cheats or is sneaking around with everyone. It was so confusing cause they would declare their love for one character and then the story turns around and you find out they have been messing with or are in love with a different character.

The Ebonics was really crazy and unrealistic for established college students and professors. The ratchet mess was on 10. The sex scene were cringy and for the life of me didn’t understand why minor characters got a point of view. I finished the story so I can call it a good “hood” read but I wouldn’t recommend it.

4.5 🌟


Okay the beginning was a bit rough for me. I started and stopped reading this book 3 times. But today I decided to go ahead and power through. And I must say I was intrigued.

Yas was my girl. She was naive like I expected for a college girl messing with a professor but she wasn’t and she was about her stuff.

Professor Wood was just nasty and annoyed me to no end. He kept playing people like it was going out of style.

But Omere. Omere was a sweetheart and I loved him. I loved how he was with Yas and the whole relationship.

This was actually a good read and gave me all the HEA feels.

[La'Quita Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

Different

I liked the book. It was very different from her usual works, but I liked it. I didn't like how fast paced the book was and how naive all the women were that was dealing with Keenan.

Thoughts while reading:

Neal said let me get my boom box and get this girl attention

Oh Neal go to hell 🤣

Oh professor Wood got all the girl in this class.

Not a fione man teaching a deplorable subject 😂

See I knew Neal needed to go to hell. Not carrying Plan B’s.
He got a baby with Selma.. that he was cheating on Yas with. Wait and another baby.. dude TF. And he delusional if he think Yas gonna be his wife.

He sleeping with Molly too.. that supposed to be Yas friend.. smfh I see she felt guilty or whatever but damn.

Neal is onnnnnn one 😂 this 🥷 trippin.

She said don’t worry these hands rates E for Every soror 😂

Omir 😂

Khadia finna get her ahh beat.

Ok Professor Ogalbee.. I mean Wood lol

Girl how you know he clean, that’s your brother not your patient.

Sending an email to get the Lo is hilarious.

Professor about to be whipped.

O please.. respect is earned not given.

I knew Professor Keenan was gonna be whipped

Capri Sun lol

Girl your brother is all those things.

Oh professor on one.

Girl why did you agree to be his under cover woman

Yea professor gone 😂 took that girl to meet the folks.. and didn’t tell her before hand.

Yea Dolce like woman or she in a Yaz situation

I kinda wish her and Molly could have reconciled, but girl I feel you. Trust broken is hard to recover (if it can at all).

Glad everything worked out for Yaz and Dolce.

THE DRAMA !!

This book kept my jaw on the floor! Everytime I thought nothing worst could happen. It did! I was clutching my pearls with this book!

Yasmean is over relationships and just wants to enjoy her junior year of college experience on campus and collect her degree. Should be easy right ? Except she had two fine men vowing for her attention and neither is letting up. For better or worse.

This book was a time. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will say at some point all the extra drama thrown in became overkill and exhausting though.

I loved yasmean and how she seem to have some kind of sense. She wasn’t as easily manipulated as the other ladies in the book and her cut off game was strong. She got on my nerves a little when it came to her deciding on who she wanted to be with though because it was obvious, even to herself, who she wanted. I was also annoyed at how sometimes she came off as bourgeois. Her assuming Omere was a hood dude (he was but still) just because he had a lot of tattoos and acting like his tattoos was a turn off for her had me rolling my eyes. My girl kept getting done dirty left and right though. I’m glad she played no games about her respect and got her get back by all means necessary.

Omere. Omere. Omere. I love that cocky arrogant man. He played no games and shamelessly went after what he wanted. He was a smooth talker that backed up everything he said. I didn’t like his attitude toward the end but he did make up for it.

Keenan was a mess. A hot mess. He was just scandalous. I feel like he didn’t get enough backlash for what he did. Everytime I thought I couldn’t be anymore shocked by him he proved me wrong.

Neil was the worst! Dulcie was way too naive at first. I’m glad Cely finally bossed up.

I wish we got more scenes of Omere and Yas. A lot of their scenes were told to us instead of us experiencing it as a reader.

Regardless this was a fun read.

[BossyLadi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't believe how much I loved this story. It's a drama-filled light read set on a college campus. The story follows a deceitful professor who is married but has relationships with more than 10 college students and a professor. Each girl believes they will be together once she graduates. None of the girls are aware of one another and only one of the girls knows he's married. This dude was manipulative AF and had control issues. Though he was much older than most of the girls, he acted childish. He was very clingy and desperate at times. He also had a drug problem and lived beyond his means.

Everything comes to a head when his wife catches him cheating and blows up his world. The professor becomes jealous that one of his former girls has moved on si he talks another girl into pinning a baby on him! That girl also plants drugs on him and nearly ruins his future.

The book ends well. I was satisfied with most of the outcomes tho I would've loved it if someone off'd the professor.

[Sassha Reads❤️❤️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Professor Wood was really out there dropping Wood off in everybody….students and other teachers. I did want to definitely know what his outcome was and what happened to his and Khadia’s baby since she had serve time in prison. I liked Omere with Yasmean because he saw her as his forever and he moved with intention to show her that he was the man for her. I like that Omere always practiced safe séx even though he was very active before Yasmean. It’s crazy how Khadia disliked Yasmean as soon as they met and then they ended up dating the same two men. Everyone was wondering if Dulcie was a lesbiàn not knowing that she was one of Professor Wood’s victims thinking that they were really in a relationship when he was for everybody. Dulcie found her happiness when she let Professor Wood go and started dating Darren after the pursued her for so many years. I usually like babies at the end of the book but they were young adults who were trying to be stable in their careers before kids so I can respect the fact that they’re all waiting to start having babies.

Da Bomb!

Ms. Latrice has done it again. Another bestseller! I love her storytelling ability. The way she weaves the storylines around her characters is masterful. She’s one of the best to do it. Also, it’s a standalone at that! I often forget the previous storylines and characters when it’s a series so standalones are the best for me. Okay, let’s talk about the book. I actually have mixed feelings concerning all of the characters which is a good thing. In real life, no one is perfect and this is very much reflected in this book. However, what I liked most was the accountability that Yasmean, Duckie, and Mali took for their actions. That was refreshing. I liked how Omere and Darren consistently pursued their women. The women were strong and independent while showing their vulnerability. Good job Ms. Latrice!

[Lauren Lane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely another college love story …

This book has so many twist and surprises. The only decent guy in this book was Darren 😂 and I love the ending he got.
This book is fiction but so much about it is reality. Females do fall for their professors. Males do too. College is where young adults truly have their freedom and where real life begins. There are also so many Keenans out there too who truly have no morals.
Keenan was an awful person and that’s putting it lightly. There was no limits to his deceitfulness and I feel like he was not reprimanded enough.
Overall this book was more of a high school drama read because everyone was so childish and silly acting. Everyone was sleeping with everyone without any hesitancy. At least most of them wrapped up but…
Good book and it kept me attentive the entire read so 4 stars for sure.

[Shae · Rating 5 out of 5]

back like you never left

Who am I kidding? Shvonne never left. She consistently delivers and I’ve been in love with her characters for years now. She once implied that standalones were more challenging for her to write than a series, but this story says the opposite. If anything, I support her sprinkling standalones in between her series from now on. If this is challenging, I can’t wait to see what easy looks like!

Omere😍😍😍😍 you will love him from the start, and his beginning and chemistry with Yas was so believable. And Yasmean❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m loving her locs and her strength. Just enough naïveté to fit her age and life experiences, but also enough smarts to know her worth. Speaking of worth, THIS read is worth it and I’m glad I didn’t rush. 👏👏👏*FIN*

Caught Up!!

Neil was friendly community d!"k. He knew he had kids with Selma. Talk about he's a virgin. His parents made him marry Selma which is good, but he's always going to have Yasmean on his mind. Professor Wood had B.D.E that's how he caught up. He had Dulcie, Karen on a string. He was low-key stalking Yasmean a$$. Again he needed Aracely to fund his lifestyle. Mali lost her friendship over Neil. I'm happy that Dulcie gave Darren a chance and forgot about Keenan. Khadia thought she was going to pin her baby on Omere and put him in a trick bag when she put the drugs in his car. Omere told Yasmean that she was going to be his future wife and he made it happen. Yasmean came through with the lawyer.
