Must read
This was a really good book. It was well worth my purchase because the book was longer than most books. Dammmmm all that crap that Lovely and Clay had to go thru and still going thru just to be together is just crazy. I really like them as a couple and I hope they make it. I know all hell is about to break loose so I can't want to read book 2. Like please hurry up, I'm waiting lol

Great book
Loved this book on to part two. Read this book nonstop this was a well put together book. Jasmine did a awesome job with these characters. This book was another one of those edge of the seat books where you were anxious to find out what was going to happen. I love the strength that Lovely has with all the obstacles thrown her way she continues to try to survive. Poor Clay just can't get it together. Great job Jasmine

Down For Love Review
This book was alright. It was just too long and drawn out. The only thing I got out of it was the ups and downs of Clay and Lovely. They were one dysfunctional couple who just couldn't get it together, but they refused to let go. I hope the next part is better.

Broken Promises
Lovely need to open her eyes and realize she's not ready for a man's world. I have to give Clay props on taken care of a son he found out wasn't his. Hopefully they can get through this storm together.

Good
I don't believe this story. Who would continue to date max while getting left on the patio locked out. What about getting kidnapped to Jamaica. How coincidental for Clay to end up in Jamaica. Why wasn't Clay's mom's death addressed. A who killed her. Too confusing for me.

This is what you'd call amazing!
Although there were a few grammatical errors, that didnt take away from the storyline. Can't wait to see what transpires next....
