I thought Gemma...
Okay, I remembered that Gemma always second-guessed whether Royal was devoted to her like peanut butter to jelly. I kept telling her to trust her man and her sister. I cannot think of a man who loves this deeply other than another St Clair man. I am glad the ending turned out as such. Maybe we will get more insight into her father's situation in the next book. This was good...

St. Claire Love
Gemma, a story with all the feels! I absolutely adored it. It's a quick, fast paced read, with a great story line. Gemma and Royal are back! The youngest of the St. Claire couples, they find themselves learning to trust each other, communicate, and trust the love they have for one another.
It was good to see the other St. Claire couples and yes you know there is definitely some laugh out loud moments and smoking hot swoon worthy encounters.
Tina Martin did not disappoint with book one of The St. Claire Women. I am totally looking forward to the next book in this series!

Gemma
It was a good book,but I wish the St. Claire men would just let the women be themselves. I understand they want to protect them,but to me it makes them seem weak. Gemma went through a lot but survive. They come from privilege and don't know what it's like to not be wanted. Wish Royal would have talked to her and listened instead of getting upset. Again a good book, I wish it would have shared more of Gemma feelings and how she is navigating life.

Feels Incomplete
The book is really not relatable. The women are too reliant on their men for everything. Somethings are common sense, and even the male characters can’t seem to grasp the concept. This ‘book’ could have been added to Gemma and Royal’s original book; nothing was gained, and it feels incomplete.

Love VS Over Protection
Gemma has come full circle, she wants to be the master of her life. Is she going about it the right way? Royal, is pampering her to the point of no return. They both have forgotten friendship and communication is the key to their love.

Love ❤️ 😍
This was such a nice read. I enjoyed catching up with Royal and Gemma. They're both so in love with each other. Everyone knows that Royal doesn't play when it comes to Gemma. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when Royal told Gemma " your mama is for the streets" 🤣. As always it's a pleasure reading your books 🥰

Royal and Gemma became friends first then fell in love, she is very insecure because of her crazy mother. Royal is just trying to be the best a man can be, that's how he was raised it took some pushing and pulling but meeting her father I hope that helps.

sweet read
This was a quick sweet read. Love Royal and Gemma. In this book we take a look Inside their marriage. Also enjoyed seeing characters from the previous St.Claire novels.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and how Royal doted on his wife all the while caring for her through her illness.
