Ebony has had it rough her entire young life. Searching for love and acceptance only to be cursed and abused by anyone she ever gave her trust to. Jonah, the father of her child, has seemingly taken every ounce of hope for true love by tearing her down both physically and mentally.

Ebony fights the best way she knows how to hold on to her new found family. Just when she thought that her life was complete, all hell breaks loose when Jonah awakens from his coma and wreaks more havoc in her life. Will Ebony be able to weather another storm?

Good read

Growing up and escaping controlling men takes its toll. I really can relate as to this story,as nightmarish as it may sound.

I was glad to get to take a look at what was going on with Ebony. She was still getting a raw deal from the people in her life but thank God for happy endings. Queen Brown weaves a great story that evokes all type of emotion and I am looking forward to seeing more from her. Great read!

Part 2

And the chaos continues. Part of me was a little pissed at Ebony. I felt like she had a pattern and that's why she need up with a bowl of lemons. Seemed like everyone that and in her life was unbalanced. Her baby daddy Jonah definitely took the cake, talk about unstable. And her newfound friend Adia. Chile my eyebrows almost ran away when it came to Adia. But Ebony came out on top with finally a great ending and a husband and family to boot. She was finally set free from her past.

Really 😉

It was interesting the turn around from book one. This one was easier to read although there was a rather nagging lose end with regards to one of the friends 🤔

Lord, I dont know where to beginnor even where to end. From the beginning to the end I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I cried with Ebony, I gor beat with Ebony, I got betrayed with Ebony and lastly I was set free with Ebony. Queen Brown took it to a whole new level at times I wanted to reach inside the book and shake Ebony and slap some sense into her for being so stupid. This book touched parts of me that I didnt even know existed (books 1 & 2) I literally felt like I was walking in Ebonys footsteps in some parts minus the drug addict mother, the numerous men and the beatings both books couldve easily been written about my life. This book IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CLICK THE BUY NOW BUTTON ON BOTH OF THEM CAUSE YOU MUST READ BOTH BOOKS!!!!!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end. Ebony just couldn't catch a break., from one failed relationship to another...My favorite part was at the end when Ebony finally found her happiness.

Very good! A few grammatical mistakes, however, it did not take away from the book. I love that the character had some growth and was much stronger this time around.
