This spin off is about Rico and Raja.

Rico is not your typical block boy. He is all about his education and being an honest worker but he has no problems getting his hands dirty if needed. Life has dealt him a messed up hand but is motto is never trip over what you cant fix. He finds himself caught up in a love triangle Raja is his heart and wants nothing more but to be with her but her attitude pushes him right in Fashion arms. Who will he choose?

Raja is a feisty twenty year old girl. Working as a hair stylist she is all bout hers and could care less bout having a man. Although she really likes Rico she can't bring herself to show shes in love. Dealing with past issues has made it hard to let go and accept life for it is.Will she finally see the ways of her actions or will she lose Rico forever?

Great spin off story. I also loved the update on the other characters as well. I like the improvement that the author has made.I can't wait to see what's next.

You met Raja and Rico in Who wants a perfect love story anyhow. You get updates on Corey and Tee-Tee, Jamie and Killa, Royal and Camren. You find out if Rico is the baby father of Raja or is it the meany men that she has slept with and do they get together? There is a tragic experience that Raja go through when she is 10 years old that effect her life as she gets older does she let it consume her or does she finally put it to rest so she can find happines and love? Plus what if the tragic isn't what she thinks it is how does she react to the real thing? What is Rico to do when a girl from his past can't let go and he can't either? What do Rico do when he founds out what really happens to his son? This book will have you laughing from all of bickering that goes on in this book with all of the couples. It will have you wanted to smack some sense in these characters and it will have you said at some of the things that people do or what they been through.

Two Sides to a Love Story: Rico & Raja's Story

A very good storyline continues with some relatable characters living that life. There is Darico Lamar Day, who recognizes knowledge is power and uses it to his advantage. Will some of that knowledge rub off on my girl Raja or the drama filled FAM? Get ready to lose yourself in this crazy love story. I did. Nativia, stay vigilant in your proofreading skills and I applaud you for improving. Reading this story is hilarious, belly-aching funny but leaving out words from the sentences is not. Three*** for this book and I look forward to more of this author's work.

Another Great Read!!!

This was another banger from Natavia!! I so enjoyed reading this book. Girl your sense of humor and the way that you incorporate it into your stories be so on point. I have to catch myself sometimes because I will just holler out from laughter at different scenes in the book. Rico and Raja are definitely made for each other. She is a firecracker. And I loved Lace and Tarae together. I enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to see what you drop next!
