GIVING THE PIECES OF MY HEART TO A YOUNGIN' (GIVING THE PIECES OF MY HEART TO A YOUNGIN'
Thirty-four-year-old Tamera Barnes has it all – a great career, loving husband, and a home everyone dreams for. But the one thing she wants most in this world, she can't seem to have. Suffering miscarriage after miscarriage, her dream of becoming a mother seems impossible. So impossible, she no longer wants to become one.
Falling into a state of depression, her marriage is failing right before her eyes. Things only get worse when she finds out that her husband of 11 years is being unfaithful.
Brian Barnes has been in love with Tamera since the first time he'd laid eyes on her. Finally making her his, he wasted no time putting a ring on it. Building a successful life with the woman of his dreams, his only other dream is to be a father. But when he realizes that his wife may not be able to deliver his request, things change.
Twenty-four-year-old Armon "Menace" Howard is young and getting it. Hustling since the tender age of sixteen, he's ready to retire the street life and go legit. With no children or ties to any woman, he has no intentions on being locked down anytime soon. Well, that's until he meets a heartbroken beauty by the name of Dr. Barnes.
In this crazy emotional whirlwind, betrayal and heartbreak is at an all-time high. They say after all rain comes sunshine; but will these characters be able to weather the storm?

Part 2 ASAP
Well I guess she bout to be sending God some company cause when she finds out it's her "best friend" and she's pregnant by her husband all hell is gonna break loose. It's the audacity for me!!!!! Boy I can't wait for Brian and Asia to get their karma. He want a baby that bad that he would knowingly crush his wife's entire being. I hope Tamera finds everything she needs and deserves. I want it to be with Menace but seeing as he has his own lil situation about to pop up ion know if that's gonna be possible. I need part two.💙💙

It's a out to get hectic in part 2 because part 1 definitely has some scandal
Tamera really has been through a lot and it's sad that her husband Brian isn't being understanding and doing her the way he is. Her friend ain't no better. Menace has me iffy on him because of how he speaks on women but how he treated Tamera has me slowly changing my mind on him. I cannot wait to see all the drama and hopefully love that part 2 brings because those last few chapters definitely revealed some stuff that will have you saying damn.

With Friends That Who Needs Enemies!!
Aww, the ish is about to hit the fan. Menace is about to be Tamera's saving grace. The two people who she loved in the world betrayed her. Brian and Asia are most grimmest, deceptive in her inner circle. Asia sat on the phone and in her face and complained about Brian, and she was sexing him. Dirty ole bish. How is Imani going to tell Menace he's going to a father? It's not going to go over well, especially when he's trying to date Tamera.

Secrets Always Come Out!
T'Ann Marie, Lord, today this is some mess going on. I get where Brian was feeling like he was, but really, dude. And with Asia, her karma is coming. Tamera, may have went into herself to much but she still doesn't deserve this.
I can't fathom how Brian is gonna get this off. Well I also think Menace is gonna be a blessing more than not. Good read

Excellent job
I would love to give more stars! I'm so ready for part 2! Can't wait to find out what Tamera does when she finds out what's going on with Brian. Oh and when Menace finds out what's going on with Imani. Couldn't put it down. Author did an awesome job with the storyline and characters

WOW
What a good book thus far and I can't wait to read the next book. If you're interested in love, family and betrayal then this will be the book for you. Love don't have no number on it, age aint nothing but a number and Menace I believe is going to give Tamera a run for her money. Betrayal at it's lowest is also in play.

good read
This was a good read. Yes they had problems in their marriage but this is on both of them. But I blame the husband more because out of all the ppl n the world to cheat with, u chose her best friend. And also I get why Tam feels the way she does after 4 miscarriages I would be scared to.

So far so good. Definitely some big drama for sure but Mrs. Barnes gonna need a shoulder for sure once she finds out everything. Imani and Menace will be crazy for sure since they are both still young. I can say Menace is mature but some people can bring out the toxic in you. Hopefully don't be the case for them. Asia and Brian are just nasty for sure!!

It’s about to get real
Brian and Asia are so ruthless. He didn’t even try to relate to what Tamera was going through. I hope Imani is not pregnant by Menace.
