I am fully convinced that Ms. John is the truth!!!!!
I want to kick myself for not fully appreciating and realizing the ride Ms. John was trying to take me on as a reader while reading part 2 of this series. I honestly did not have a strong connection with part 2, however after reading part 3 I have come to realize the journey she was attempting to take me on; and me and my clueless behind failed to jump onboard. This book was grade A perfection. Karreuche evolved from a scared lost little girl who lost her father and all of her worldy possessions in book 1 to a confident, intelligent, strong woman by the end of book 3. This was brilliantly orchestrated and can only be surmised as Ms. John being a genius with the literary pen. Smoke and Journie from day one were the type of men that were consistent, honest to a fault, and all about their ladies. I loved the way Smoke continuously attempted to pour into Karreuche's spirit even when she was unable to recognize her true worth. The addition of additional family members in Karreuche's life added to this saga and helped round out the edges of the story. It is always fun to see some for your favorite characters pop up in another series. In this case it was Stacks and Lala from Married to a boss. This further solidifies that Ms. John is here to stay and has the catalog to back her up. Tangie, Geek, and Tommy all received their just desserts and while it was brutal I was extremely happy to see how it played out. I really hate how things turned out with Karreuche's sister but as Ms. John so eloquently stated the apple didn't fall too far from the tree after all look at Karreuche's mom reasons for abandoning her. I can't stress enough how remiss you will be if you pass on this insta-classic. Ms. John went over and beyond, answered every question, tied up every loose end, and left us with a warm feeling of satisfaction as we prepared to exit the lives of Karreuche, Smoke, Shantika, and Journie. My hat is off to you Ms. John and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!!!!

A so, so read if anything. The story felt forced, rushed and at times all over the place. Geek was a clown but Karruchie was an even bigger fool. The mess with the stepmother was beyond me, it was less than six months and she was already broke but instead of doing anything about it, she walked away. Eylana was a fool as well with all she was into. The book needs editing and really a second look to get the story to flow and make a bit more sense.

A Beautiful Ending.......
I was soooo glad K finally got her happily ever after. I was sooooo praying my boo Smoke did not go out like that but dealing with Tangi I was a little on edge. At his funeral something just made me think something was off but when Journi called it I was just waiting for Smoke to pop up out of no where. This was a good Series highly recommended. I was so glad K and Smoke finally got it together but will their be another part added to the series especially since the baby turned out to not be Smokes and a secret the two love birds will keep to themselves but in do time with Grandma start to see her grandson as her other grandchild with her other daughter. I would love to see how that story would unfold. I hope that K's sister can see that this was not her doing she had no idea but in like most cases that man doing the wrong is always forgiven and the women who had no clue of what was going on always has to suffer the consequences.

Lucinda you did it again this series was excellent I love everything about this book and I'm so glad Karrueche got her happy ever after

this book was definitely the TRUTH. i’m happy that Smoke was alive. i kinda had a feeling that he would be though. i was happy when Stacks took him back to Columbia for him to heal. Jurni and Shantika finally got their happy ending. Smoke came back to reclaim his woman and start a family. i was glad that CheChe was able to fix her relationship with her mom, but her sister made me mad. she was stuck so far up Dale’s behind that she believed him over her family. CheChe just found out about her so why would she lie about not knowing her and Dale were together? after all that Kuarache has been through i was glad that everything finally started to fall in place for her and she found somebody that would really love her

Amazimg
This book had me from the very beginning. I laughed, got upset, cried and even blushed
I truly enjoyed these characters and would LOVE to see more of them.
To bad CheChe never found out her own step sister killed her baby tho.
I knew something wasn't right about Dale. He was to good to be true. Love is a beautiful thing but BLACK LOVE is everything.

At first I even liked Geek, but as I continued to on, I couldn't wait until Kurrecea woke up. This is a great read.

A great way to end a wonderful series. Karrueche went through so much it was good that she got her happy ending. Smoke and Journi were really loyal dudes.

The growth that Karrueche portrayed was extraordinary. Her wonderful support system helped her to become the woman she was destined to be. This is a must read series.

What the hell..Mama really???
This series was so awesome it was so well written and so much details that you can see everything clear as day as if you are watching a tv show. Mama don't play and she scares the hell out of me, but I'm so glad she is back in her life. Smoke is all that and a box of chocolate love the man he is. So many damn snakes in this book you have to cut the grass to damn much...smh. I love Shatika and CheChe friendship that was build. I must say this book was so good and was consistent meaning it was just as good as the other two books it never had a dull moment. Great Job to the Author Lucinda Johns you never disappoints.

Love from a Hustla
I am so glad all the haters got exactly what they deserved. Karrauche had to go through a lot but she finally got real love from a true hustla in the end.

Once again Lucinda did it with this series!

Wow!
Now what a way to end the series! A few parts there she had me on pins and needles but as usual she threw a curve in there and made it all come together. If you read parts 1 and 2 then part 3 will give you everything that you were looking for. #Smoke
