The Trophy Wife by Ashley Antoinette, JaQuavis Coleman

4.5

 This book was good but piss me off in many ways, I don't know who edited this book but how did she put the husband to sleep just to sneak out and he end up at the same location as her without him knowing she was gone!!! Now please this was just one incident! I felt the end was rushed cuz yeahhhhhh aint no way it just abruptly end like that.

 Bleu had me on a mfn emotional rollercoaster. I literally had to detach my feeling from this book bc I wouldn't have finish it. Noah was just that. The man she really needed in life. The ending took me for a loop bc why, but I'm happy the book ended with Bleu taking care care of herself and in a better place.

Money Devils 1: A Cartel Novel by Ashley Antoinette, JaQuavis Coleman

adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced

5.0

 This was definitely a book that was needed. I just love the messy and drama that these books give. Sutton was that girl but just didn't know that Miamor is badder. But that i cant understand is why did Ashton mess up the drop, did it have something to do with it being CJ. All the sisters are bad ass. I just wish that Ashton had of figured out that homeboy was behind her hurt as well. This book is good and tie with the whole Cartel series. 

Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson

3.0

 This was a good book, life lesson where taught in the book. It took this girl to go through therapy to figure out that he mom was dead. Then to top it off her damn friend started dating her friend then go pregnant. Who really are your people.

4.0

 4.0 This was a cute little read, I read part 2 before I knew there was a part 1. So knowing the backstory of Ami wedding and marriage was a good intake. I like this book bc it gave the reader a better insight into Olive life as well as the input of her twin. Ethan would have been left in the dirt playing with me tho. But to top it off Ami did her thang at the end of her marriage.

 This book was good, poor blue went through hell and back!! She was dealt a bad hand regardless of the circumstances. China was the original stater of it all just jealous. The ending was just to much!! I hope she finds the will to stay clean 

Her Deep Reverence: Pregnant by a Black Mafia Don (Black Mayhem Mafia Saga Book 2) by B. Love

4.5

 4.5 This was cute little read that's still connected to the first book. Hassan really was pissing me off because why you cant keep your shit in your pants. Vanna was that girl, she was a real one to take Hassan back. I just felt like this book was missing some drama and action. the action didn't take off until the last chapter of the book.

 3.7 This was a cute little read. But for some reason this book just didn't keep me intrigued. i like the story line and happy that Amina and Jax got back together. But for Amina not to confront her husband of 8 yrs and for him to not question her makes me question the who thing. But when the spice came it CAME!!!!
