Rate this book
Having the picture-perfect marriage seems rational when the only person you live, breathe, and love is your husband. Twenty-four year old NaTaysia is convinced the only man that is capable of loving her is her handsome, sophisticated husband JaMel Taylor. JaMel is the only man she has known emotionally, physically and mentally. That is, until she runs into the notorious De’Carlos Banks, known to the streets as Mega. His cockiness, craziness, and thug demeanor is just too much for her to resist. NaTaysia finds herself head over heels for Mega when he opens her eyes to a life only one can imagine.
JaMel is a businessman who has a few secrets of his own. He loves NaTaysia more than he loves himself but finds himself in a world of trouble when his manly instincts takes over and he can no longer fight temptation.
Mega is a known Boss in every city he touches down in. Owning the drug game for over a decade, he has the world in his possession. The only thing missing is someone to share it with. After being captivated by NaTaysia, he is determined for them to be together by any means.

Nataysia Taylor Has a lot going for herself at the young age of twenty four. Married to the successful Jamel Taylor and being a nurse has her living a very comfortable life but even comfortable gets boring. Nataysia finds herself in a deep game when she meets Mega.Although Jamel is the only man she knows she is curious to see what mega has to offer. But is the grass greener on the other side?

What??? On the very intro book, all this drama, WTF!!!

Man, first time reading this author and on the very first book, there was so much drama that I couldn't believe it... Why Mega, why? Or should I say why MS. Mercedes G, why? Just when we are team Mega, and then this... Ok let me start...
Nataysia is or was a good girl. A strong independent working black woman and thought she was happily married. She bump into her possible soul mate and become this crazed confused woman and everything that was up went downhill for her..and this ending, wow...
De'Carlos "mega" is everything that each one of us who reads these urban fiction books want and need in their lives but don't have. Handsome, alpha, boss man, THE MAN to know, kingpin gangster, and hood all wrapped into what we know as MEGA, and he for sure Mega. Shoot I feel like going to Geargia, the Peach state and get me a mega for sure.
Jamel is supposed to be the husband but he so dirty, that no amount of washing can clean him up.
Shakira is truly BFF but with so much baggage she gonna need a whole concourse to carry her bags, but she is still there for her sis...
Jay is the dog while Rock is an uncertain factor that we can't place yet. Oh and MeMe well, we hope to find out more in the next book because baby, ain't that a who with all of these twists and connections going on.
So, I explain the intro as best as I could without giving off any spoiler but best believe I will get into it more in the next rounds coming up. I only want to say to Taysia or Mrs. Lady, you can't be mad since your yard is not smelling like roses either, but if you want something, you better fight for it or let it go.
Unfortunately, if all of my fav don't get together at the end of the day, I know I will not continue this series...that's a promise!

Good Read, I Think 🤔

This book was good, I think but I was bit perturbed...everyone was sexing it up but no one used a condom even after they caught a STD... The writer needed to make her characters a little bit more responsible... The only character I liked was Rock and maybe because he didn’t have as many scenes... The story moved quickly a bit too quick to the point I can’t really understand NyTashia and Benzo falling in love... I will read the second book because the ending came out of no where ....

Taysia and Kira are the best of friends. Both of them have their ups and downs in relationships in this book. Kira just let's Jay do her any kind of way because what she went through with him I would not wish on my enemy. Taysia thought she had the good life little did she know that Her husband Jamel was doing major dirt. When I tell you that I loved Mega. I mean "Hands up" Where him at with that BIG.....okay I can say that in this review but Baby....He is the Truth! On to book 2

Didn’t see much a love story here because Taysia was married and pregnant from the jump and supposedly in love with her husband. Before the sentence could set in, she was lusting over someone else. The entire read we get a bunch of cheating and reasons why the grass was greener. Mega was something new and an upgrade so not much love going on with any of these characters. Okay read if you can follow along with the petty stuff long enough to get into it.

Drama...oh the drama

This book is full of drama. When you read these urban street literature novels you know what you are getting. The stories move fast and leave you wanting to know how it ends. These novels lack the quality you get in other fiction, but they are what they are. Black street soap operas.

Wow! Man there are so many twists & secrets. Everybody cheating on everybody. They all want their cake & eat it too. I really like Mega for NaTayshia though. I hope things work out for them.

This was a good story. I wasn't feeling it at 1st because the author kept saying certain things over and over. Glad I kept reading.

A great read

The ending tho.. I’m lost for words. This book flowed smoothly and kept me gasping. This was my first read by her and won’t be my last. I’m headed to book 2 now

Taysia and Mega was playing a dangerous game. Taysia acted as if she wasn't a married woman, and Mega knew that she was married when he pursued her. The situation that they both had created, was indeed a complicated one. At the same time, Mega was engaged, so how could he be mad at Taysia when he had a fiancee' himself. The route these two was going, someone was going to get their hurt broken.

Taysia's husband, Jamel, wasn't who Taysia thought he was. Taysia wasn't aware that Jamel had been doing the same thing she had been doing, but it was before Taysia even met Mega. Jamel could've been doing his thing, but to impregnate someone the same time his wife was pregnant, was just wrong. It was only going to be a matter of time before Jamel's infidelity would blow up, and Taysia would find out.

I was so happy for Kira, because she deserved better than what Jay had given her. I was so proud of Kira, for finally walking away.Yes, Kira was wrong for what she did to Jay, but he could have taken one for the team, for all the things that Kira had endured in their so called relationship. I enjoyed Rock with Kira, and I hope that their relationship goes somewhere.

I can't believe I downloaded then deleted and reloaded this book and am just now reading it. I've been missing out. This was really good. There is so much drama and I am loving it. Ain't nobody loyal in this book. Mega and Jamel both got it going on and Natayshia has her hands full. How they haven't all ran into each other yet? It's about to go down soon though. I can't believe Mega though. What's going on? I was left confused and curious and I gotta see what happens next.
