Dive into the pages and see how these three women try to move forward without killing Aaron and more importantly, killing each other.
Absolutely loved this storyline!! This was an eye opener for me dealing with things myself that's in this book! This book brought out many different emotions but I really loved the end...I love books that I can relate to
Yoooo this ending omg!!! I loved everything about it from the beginning to the end. Such an outstanding standalone and so well written. You did that Tracee!
The greatest sacrifice has been made. Putting one's needs aside for their children. A tangled web was weaved at the hands of Aaron. Leaving no heart un hurt. It was an interesting way to tell a story. But Tracee had you caught up. If we are honest we all know a Lotus, Haven and Zara. The power of the penis has you doing some crazy things especially when you have insecurities. This story is one that makes you question your loyalties. Love has a way of making a fool out of you when placed in the wrong hands.
My only concern is for the editor of this story. Many times fiance and wife were used interchangeably and that was incorrect. As well as a character referenced incorrectly. Those are things that need to be caught before being released.
This was a great read.. it is a great standalone that had me all in my feelings. It touches on some real life issues that some women actually face in today's society. I really enjoyed this storyline. It was a great change from reading about sex, drugs, Thots, etc. It gives you an explanation into why the characters did what they did. I highly recommend this book.
I liked the way this storyline was written. I thought a great job was done expressing the characters feelings & the "confinement " was a good idea. Haven was a smart young lady. Lotus has a reason to be angry. Zara was in the way. At first I didn't care for Aaron at all due to his arrogant nature, but near the end, he became better. Ace's secret was a shocker. Good read
My first read by Tracee was a great one and finished in one sitting. She nailed some many women's lives down with this powerful read that heartwarming all the way through.
I have to admit, I was a little leery of reading this book after the first few pages, but as I got into the story I'm glad I did. I must admit, there's one chapter where I put my Kindle down and walked away though...only to come back to a happy ending. Great story!
Several characters made me mad. This is an excellent story. It was well written. This is the second book by Ms Boyd i hAve read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. New fan here!
I was reading this story and realized I read it back in 2016! I continued and finished because I forgot how it ended and cried again! Hate what happened to Haven but Aaron realized all his wrongs! I even liked Zara at the ending too!
What a wonderfully written story. I absolutely loved this book. How refreshing to actually read something positive for a change. I cried of course. This book was interesting from beginning to end. Ps. I am a Detroiter
Excellent book! She wasn't lying when she said there is no sequel to this book. None needed, but wish it was. Not a cry baby, but this book had the tears rolling. Two thumbs up!
