Start your review of Nappily Faithful (Nappily, #4)
This series is good. This one particular book in the series was a little disappointing. It gave us little tidbits about what happened in between books. But, without a lot of information. Venus lost the baby she was pregnant with at the end of the third book. We are given the details in little bits and pieces. Also, people making the same stupid mistakes over and over is... Frustrating. I wasn't speeding through this one like I usually do. Two other people were added to the mix. A judge (Delma),

This was a good read. I felt the characters were believable although the ending was a bit anti-climatic.
This fourth installment of the Nappily series was kind of slow for me. It seemed to drag and took me waaaaaaaay longer to read. Things picked up during the last 25% of the book. I did a lot of audible gasping, to the point my co-workers were asking me what was wrong! Lol...The book was redeemed at the end and I look forward to book five. 🙂
One more thing, I was a bit confused about Delma and Hudson’s relationship.

I read this for a reading challenge at work.
This was surprising. I had no expectations before starting it, mostly because I just grabbed it off the shelf because it looked well-read.
As an overall plot, this book is about the custody battle between a woman and her ex-boyfriend. Nappily Faithful was full of flawed characters, all of the main characters have some trauma or situation in their life that they either couldn't control or they handled badly. Thomas makes you feel for almost every charac ...more

I liked this one better than the second one. Once again as I got closer and closer to the end she threw in the crazy twists in the plot and made it so I couldn't put the book down! I really found myself disliking Trevelle though, I would try to like her because she's the Christian character and supposed to be "saved", but she's too busy pointing fingers to notice all the wrong she's doing. A good read.

This book was great LOVED IT I started with this one not knowing about the others before it. I am defiantly going to started from the beginning. This one had me on edge yelling like it was looking at tv and I finished in 3 days. I plan to read them all.
Very enjoyable reading. I found myself laughing at times but could definitely relate to some of the circumstances. Although some of the antics were stupid, I had to sit back and think about it, sometimes people do dumb thinks out of pure desperation.
Trisha Thomas is an excellent writer. Her plot holds your attention! She gives a good reminder of how unsafe teen and pre-teen girls are in this world. I am glad Trisha wrote this. This is my first book of hers that I read, and I plan on reading more!!!!
Read the whole series. Thought it would become a movie.
With everything that transpired in LA, Venus and Jake decided to move to Atlanta. Venus and Jake are emotionally spent from the clothing company debacle, loss of a baby, and Jake's murder case. Just when they thought they were ready to start over, Airic Fisher, Venus's ex-fiance, demands visitation rights of their three-year-old daughter. He drops the news about his marriage to a world-renown televangelist, Trevelle Doval too. Judge Delma Hawkins presides over their custody case, but her past co

Again this was really fun to read. There was so much drama. This time a little to much drama. Venus is such a neurotic person and Jake is a misogynistic ass. Although there are some trigger warnings (this book covers suicide, rape, miscarriages, and physical abuse), for me personally it was done in a light manner (as light aw those topics can get). I will continue with the series in the hopes Venus starts thinking logically.
Straight up, Venus is annoying. She creates havoc that is sooooo avoidable and because of that, she is hard to like. But, this book had drama, an interesting antagonist (Trevelle Doval) and had me anxious to find out how things would unfold until the end.
On to book #5.
On to book #5.
The pacing was very slow, and it took me awhile to get into it. Eventually, I did start to appreciate some of the plot points and twists, but it was in the last 2/3 of the book. All in all, wasn't bad, just not that good.

Best of the series so far. Loved the suspense!
Great read
Entertaining. Intriguing.

Venus and Jake
Venus is stubborn. She has still not learned to be patient. Jake has a lot on his mind.
The story picks up where Jake and Venus have recently moved to Atlanta after the sale of Jake's sportswear company.
Airic comes back and has the nerve to say he would like to get to know his daughter, Mya, who is now 3 years old. He is being manipulated by the famous tele-evangelist, Trevall Dovall who has a bagful of skeletons in her closet and two other people know her secret.
Very entertaining. ...more

The "Nappily" books are a good, page-turning read from front to back.
I found myself so engrossed in Venus Johnston's crazy over-the-top antics and drama that some pages gave me heart palpitations. Seriously.
Part of that may have been due to how some of the situations Venus found herself in eerily reflected my own life experience. lol
These books gave me several sessions of "can't put it down yet", allowing me to finish them in record time.
Now I'm off to find "Nappily in Bloom", fingers crossed. : ...more

This was the best of the three in this series, but still not my favorite book. I've come to like the characters, but they are still kind of cartoony and not at all realistic. It was fun and quick.
This book could have been very funny and delivered a really great message about love, forgiveness and faith, but it dropped the ball on all kinds of levels..

This book was awesome. Writing was a little soap opera-ish at times, with the sex-scenes seeming like a cheap throw-in for thrill seekers, but there were enough intriguing twists and great inside dialogue to keep me reading, laughing and writing notes on the page! Lol! I'd love to read the entire series in a book club. And the back cover note about the movie, when that happens, I'm seeing it!

It's a fantastic book! Well written! Great story! Everything from the characters from the begining to the end was a page turner. She was also fabulous guest to have on the show. Check out the interview with Trisha R Thomas at www.blogtalkradio.com/diva29

The third in the "Nappily" series, this book calms you down from all the excitement of Nappily Married ...only to rev up the heat on the possibility of what's next at the end. Just when you think you have the main character Venus figured out she pulls the rug out from underneath you.

This book made me sad.... the judge reminded me of Mablean Ephriam from Divorce Court. There were many unresolved issues in this one.. I really just felt bad for Jake and Venus. They have fallen so far. Maybe they will rebound.
Book number 4
Just as great as the first three. It's amazing how invested you become as a reader with the characters. It's makes you think how much can one couple go through and still come out on top. ...more

The book has a lot of drama in its plot. Overall the book keeps the reader enticed.
Overall this was a good book but I feel Trevelle's experiences as a young girl were to detailed and were repeated several times. Some of those details could have been left out in my opinion.

I really enjoyed reading this book ?
Excellent book. I like the way Officer Kellogg was sutlely mentioned in this book. It was a big surprise when I found out that he was Keisha's father. There were hints throughout the book.
