WOW!!!! This book had so many twists and turns I just couldn't put it down...smh I have never disliked a character as much but Castle was a piece of work and he truly got what he deserved!! Even tho there was a lot of characters in this book it was easy to keep up and so hard to put down...Ooh I said that already lol There was so many times I wanted to reach the book a just smack the life out of Kirby but I was team Grip all the way and pray that he's okay!!!! McKezie is such a snake and I wish so many things on her...smh Well on to book two to see how the story continues to unfold ...By the way this is my first time with this Author and want be my last!!!! Happy Friday everyone and Happy reading plus have a Awesome weekend

Wow!!!
I was mad at how gullible Kirby truly was when it came to Castle. He may have came through and helped her and her mom out of their situation but he was doing it all for the wrong reasons. Castle just worked every nerve I have. He thought he was God's gift to women and they were suppose to put up with everything. Femi was too crazy for putting up with all that she did. No amount of years should cause one to sacrifice their happiness and that's exactly what she allowed to happen. Monica's attitude didn't fool me at all so I wasn't even surprised about her. I loved Grip the most because he was the only one that actually cared and didn't have any hidden motives. McKenzie let jealousy cause her to betray her best friend and knowing she didn't care as much for Aviance as she led on shouldn't have been a surprise but it was. The twist with whose child belonged to who was a surprise. That had me questioning why Femi went along with what she helped with. The ending got me not liking Kaleb too much since Grip is the one that was looking out for and trying to help Kirby. His plan was almost foul proof but things have definitely heated up. If there is a part 2 I just hope everything is alright with Grip and Kirby doesn't resort back to feeling alone.

OMG!!!! When I saw Pebbles had another book out, I knew I was getting a Great 5*****Read and she didn't disappoint at all. Once, I started I couldn't stop and definitely couldn't put this book down, total page-tuner and when I finished I was left wanting MORE. Pebbles, had my attention from page one and kept drawing me further with so many twist, turns and drama on top of drama. Can't wait to see what unfolds with these characters in PT.2 I know it's gonna be a BANG. Kudos to you Pebbles Starr.

So much took place in this story, I'm shocked to see there will be a part II. The characters and events in Your Spouse, My Sponsor, will have the reader upset, in a good way. Not only is infidelity an issue, but betrayal, abuse, death, and karma all take place within these pages. I was on the edge of my seat while reading the last chapters. Karma is a b*tch and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm confident this author will deliver another fast paced, page turner.

How dumb can one be???
The author touched on how dumb, greedy and reckless people can be. Kirby was just poor silly girl who fell in love with a selfish asshole. Castle was just insane and I don't mean that in a good way. This story had so many twists and turns until it was crazy. I hope McKenzie get hers I can't wait for part 2.

Wow what a crazy read
Castle was such a sneaky weasel. I really don't understand how Femi lasted with him as long as she did. I really can't understand Kerby's obsession with him. Especially considering the fact that she reconnected with Grip. He was everything she needed and was definitely interested. She just became such a hot mess it's a shame. McKenzie was horrible. She was just an epic failure any way you look at it. Need that next book asap. I just know that there is about to be some curve balls thrown in there. I know good and well that not everyone that was shot at died. Come on with it now.

Refreshing
My first time reading a book by this author but so pleased I choose her book.
Great relief to read a book with a plot and a storyline without all this extreme sex scenes on every other page.
It was also edited properly ,spelling and grammar all correct.
I am really tired of reading and coming across so many misspellings and errors in some of these urban books.
I hope McKenzie switch places with Kirby brother (in a prison cell), Grip pulls through and get to Kirby before she relapses.
Anxiously awaiting part 2

Blinded By Money
This was a fast paced story, Kirby was a young girl that got caught up in the fast life of the streets snd money, coming from a slow life in Philly she meets a older guy that she thinks can solve all her problems.
I gave the story 4 Stars because the story line was too predictable. Not a bad read can't wait for pt.2

Unexpected
Great read. First time reading a book by this author but it was worth it. Couldn't put the book down and now I can't wait for part two. But I'm curious how part 2 will play out since so many characters will not exist

Good Book
Castle was a dog. I am glad he got what he deserved. Kirby was too young to messing with that grown man. I like her and Grip together. Mackenzie needs to gets what's coming to her for treating Kirby like she did. She was so jealous of her. Can't wait to read pt 2.

HOLY COW!!!
This was one of the best books I have read THIS year!!! Omg! I've had this free book sitting in my collection for far too long. I overlooked it because of the title, but so glad i read it. I don't think I have ever hated a character as much as I hate Castle. Like I literally hate him with every bone in my body. I was so glad when he got exactly what he deserved at the end. I wanted to reach through my phone and smack the life out of Kirby. I could not understand her stupidity. I am team Grip all the way and adore his behind. I hope to god he is alright. I cried when he got shot. I hope that snake McKenzie goes straight to jail with her snake self. Kaleb trigger happy on my guy. I cannot wait to get into part 2.

Your spouse, My Sponsor was a good read. It is realer than many of us may think. Just think about all the young girls out there who fall for the older man because he got everything that glitter. They are mesmerized by the fancy cars, clothes, jewelry and gifts that they give. In the end they are like end up like Kirby and after a long period of being disrespected they figure out that everything that glitter is not definitely not gold.
When there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow we either don't pay attention to it or wait until it's too late to drop that 0 and get with an hero.
Starting Your Spouse, My Sponsor 2 now. I'm excited to see what happens to all the characters from book 1. All the ghost come back. Let's find out who lives from the events from book 1

Wow...
This book had me glued to it in the last few chapters! I couldn't even tell you how fast I was flipping these pages. Castle got what he deserved!!! Definitely saw something coming his way but didn't imagine that. Karma is bitch in this book seriously, there was a few parts that upset me and characters too. I was annoyed at how naive Kirby was even after hearing the complete truth about everything, actually most of the women annoyed me except Luna. It was a great read and I'll be reading #2 shortly!

Lawd!!!
I can't wait to see what happens next!!
Kirby was so naive it was sickening. How you love a man that much after only 3 months? She basically sold her soul to his no good lying a$$. And the secrets that were spilled. OMG!
Castle was a no good man that will never learn from his bad choices and that quick temper knowing he doing people wrong. SMH
Mackenzie is a trifling, back stabbing heifer. She definitely didn’t deserve Kirby’s friendship or loyalty.
I hope and pray Grip makes it, he's the only one that deserves to live.

I loved this series. I love how the author gave us some details about where the characters ended up at in the end. I read the series in two days.

A lot of twist and turns, and people having sex with their friends, or brothers wife's 😱😱

Okay so the last thing that I want to do is tell y’all the story but HUNNYYYYY I am in tears do you hear me!? This book seriously made me feel like I was in it. I feel like I have my own special kind of relationship with Truth, Harlem, Dawn and Cindy. Good job girls every single page kept me interested. And I must say the ending literally brought tears to my eyes.
I look forward to more books from you both
