Rate this book
Everything that glitters isn’t gold, our mothers and grandmothers warned us, but some people just have to find out the hard way. Beautiful, intelligent, and successful, the only thing missing in Iyana’s life is a man, but when she meets Bryan, all that changes, whether she’s ready or not.
Well put together and glittering like that gold on the outside, Bryan is dull as dust on the inside. Sucked in by his manipulations, Iyana spends years tangled in his web and searching for a way out before he bleeds her dry.
When Iyana suddenly disappears, Bryan is left scrambling for another victim, yet another woman to manipulate, brainwash, and gaslight into taking care of him and allowing him to control her life. In his narcissistic world, Bryan always comes out on top… until he doesn’t.
When all his plans backfire on him in the worst way, Bryan is left out in the cold on his own struggling to survive.
Eventually, Iyana has to figure out what’s real and what’s an illusion built to bend her into playing someone else’s game. When Iyana finally chooses herself, she is left with the first lesson of life after a
Never feel guilty, but never go back.

never no more

Iyanna has a very forgiving heart that makes her not trust her instincts. I hated all that Bryan put everyone through. If he was dedicated to getting a job and bettering himself as he was with lying and stalking he’d be well off. I felt like Iyanna’s friends that she was giving him chance after chance because what the old folks say, “ain’t that much love in the world.” Bryan continuously played with others feelings all for his benefit and it took some longer than others to say they were never going back

Couldn’t put it down!

It was so easy to read. The story was riveting and I was drawn in by the descriptions, the plot, and the characters. I could see everything happening right before my eyes and I went through so many emotions. Mostly anger cause my girl Iyana was going through some terrible things! This is a must read!!!!

I would like to say it was late turner! I was at work determined to finish reading this book today ! I get it ! I’m glad Yana found her knights and shining armor!! I hate when we women see the red flags and ignore them for way too long ! I’m glad she had the friends that’s she did! I can’t stand Bryan narcissistic self! I’m glad he got what he truly deserved!
