Rate this book
Rakia, was left to die in the bathroom at her grandmother’s repast by none other than her evil cousin, Cara. Marco, finds her and reacts quickly in order to save her and his baby. Not caring who’s around, he tries to terminate Cara once and for all. Someone stops him, and she’s left alive to possibly torture Rakia again.

Zaire is still lurking and finds the perfect moment to attack Marco. With the help of others, he makes even bigger plans to wipe the entire team out. Not having a care in the world, he becomes cocky, but not without repercussions to his actions.

Tech still has no idea who tried to kill his wife. However, the person responsible will reveal themselves; only to try and remove Ang from his life for good. Unfortunately, something tragic happens that will cause a lot of turmoil in his life and make him possibly lose his own.

Find out in this explosive FINALE if Zaire succeeds in avenging the death of his brother. Will Tech handle the person who tried to take his wife away? And does Cara finally gets what she deserves?

Loved every minute

What a great ending Tina never disappoints. I felt like it took foreverrrrrrrr for Cara and her momma to be gone but I'm so glad they are lol. Marco and Rakia were made for each other and the love he showed her was awsome. Tech and Angela been there just as much as Marco and Rakia and glad they also stuck it out. Great ending and great read.

You Did GREAT Works in this series... OOOHHHH Cara, Zaire & Shanta.. Was WORKING the One Good Nerve I had.... Rakia FINALLY got figured out that she ALWAYS had the Power.. Marco just needed to show & Prove to her, how much Power She had... Tech & Ang, are just so cute together.. Tech got to the plate, and stepped on it to get and keep Ang!! Marco's dad?? Wow.. what a petty man. Eventhough not any mention of what the ladies were doing, other than LOVING All OVER their men, as far as school was concerned, Glad they Finally removed their enemies & got Spectacular endings... LOVED The SERIES!!!!

So loved this book and the series and I hated it came to an end. Awesome how Rakia finally showed growth and bossed up and found her voice. Loved these characters and these couples together. they were loyal and true to each other and I'm so glad that they always had each others back. This book was full of nothing but drama and action and it was so entertaining ad interesting I couldn't put it down...page-turner. Still more lies and secrets but none of that mattered cause true love prevailed and Cara, Shanta, Zaire got exactly what they deserved. Tech, Ang, Marco and Rakia had that not your ordinary hood love, but it was love at it's best. Awesome job Tina J.

Yes Raki finally

Yes way to give the people what they want! Now that's how she should have been the last 2 books lol. Everyone got it just like they should have! It had the perfect mix of everything I needed. Raki really came into her own in this book! She had to learn to put herself in others shoes to do it! Even more secrets were revealed. I loved it. Marco really stepped up and showed up.

Finally

This book series had me angered most of the time because it had Rakia as a very naive and weak person. I had to wait until book #3 to see her kill someone because she was always so forgiving. It was hard to believe that at no point could this girl slap or tap anyone. I just felt that with her having such a dominant role ...her bae...aka Marco should have sent her to self defense classes...how much crying could she do when being approached...really

Awwwww...

I luved this series from the beginning to the ending. I was so glad when Rakia stop saving those ppl whose always caused harm to her. I was very surprised when she killed Cara I so didn't even expect her to do that. She truly deserved to be happy cuz of everything she went through in life. I glad that everyone got their happy ending! Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

❤️❤️❤️

Loved this story. Rakia was getting on my nerves with trying to save people that are hurting you. But overall I enjoyed this story. Cara and her mom was horrible and met their fate finally. Zaire was a clown he bite off more than he could chew. Marcos, Tech, Rahmel and Doc were good guys but these thots couldn’t take no for an answer.
Enjoyed this story Tina J...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Just right!

At the end everything worked out perfectly! Thank God Rak finally got a back bone her just letting ppl run over was missing me off. I love the bond the Marco and Tech has also says loyal and had each other no matter what, same for Rak and Angie. Everyone that caused trouble were taking care of.

Fantastic series!

What a read! You won’t be disappointed! From beginning to the end was full of drama. From book one I have seen growth in all the characters. The book maintained and continued its momentum and kept me engaged. It was a well written series as well. Loved it! Great ending!

Great ending to a series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a perfect ending to this story. Seeing everything Rakia went through and she still came out on top was great. Like they say, “when life gives you lemons make lemonade”
