Rate this book
Baby I Play for keeps was the beginning, all turn up with no PRE-NUP. You got a small glimpse of what's to come in Giselle and Dro, that was the warm up. Kaniya and Lucky have been through it all together murders and plenty of mayhem. They've weathered so many storms, I've lost count. They’ve caught plenty of bodies together they don’t even know the amount. No matter what they went through, they've always found their way back to each other. Their love was strong enough, to rise above all the drama. Is love enough to keep the fire blazing and lots of females hating? It’s a lot of things going on that I won’t speak on, but when a woman is fed up, it’s nothing her husband can do about it. Trouble finds itself on The William’s doorsteps on a few occasions. Not early mornings, but a lot of late nights. Little do they know Mrs.Williams, is always on go. She lives for the drama, and she’s ready for Lucky’s moms. Her guns are always cocked and ready, to set it off at any given moment.
On the outside looking in Kaniya and Lucky have it all. Married with three beautiful children. Nice home and a slew of luxury cars. Their relationship was built off love and loyalty in the beginning. It’s whole lot of drama in this saga. As of lately a few lies have started to arise. Baby, let’s not mention the babies, are they Lucky’s maybe? Take a ride with these two, to see if their love will survive this heart wrenching ending depending on where their hearts lie. You don’t miss a good thing, until it’s gone.

Whew!!!

This story was so good. I thought I wasn’t gone like Khalid, but I’m in love. This story had me crying laughing. The characters and the words that would come out their mouth were limitless. I can’t wait to read who story comes next. Great job!!

Omg I just loved this book kaniya is crazy as hell and I love her so sad to see her go, Lucky got just what he deserved with his pussy ass he didn't deserve kaniya cs she was too loyal him and he just shitted on her but it's all good cs she got the man of her dreams with Khalid he's a king I love him for kaniya.. I'm was happy as hell that lucky mom and yirah got that ass handed to them I was weak when kaniya burned her crusty ass lips. When kaniya made yirah watch her sit on Lucky's face omg I died laughing karma's a bitch and her name is Kaniya Mulsane.. I wish her and khalids story didn't have to end but it was a great ending.

This book was very good it shows that you can change someone that's rough to someone that is good. All it took was a little love to bring her out.

I would recommend this book to all my friends that read, it had a lot of suspense and drama to it. I like that Khalid took control of the situation between Lucky and his wife and made the divorce happen so she can go on and live the happy ever after. Lucky was selfish he wanted to do what he wanted to do. He wanted to have no cake and eat it too.

Yasssss

Lucky is a selfish mofo and I am so glad a real man stepped up and showed out. Yirah got was coming to her and if she thinks he will be faithful to her think again.The same way you got him is the same way you will lose him.Mr. Khalid Mulsane showed up and showed out. I am so happy Kaniya finally got her happily ever after. I feel a story coming on how their life continues for forever after hint hint. Ms. Nikki you did not disappoint thank you for the journey.

Overall Good read 👍

The storyline was a bit confusing, but I love the message of women being able to move on despite countless heartbreaks. Kaniya don't play no games. Khalid was such a gentlemen. Overall good read, I just wished it was but more clarity.

Blind sided

I gave this book a 5 star rating which nikki books always stand in the paint. However that kaniya and lucky threw me a whole curve ball I did not expect for this book to end the way it did. My girl was done playing them games with lucky and showed him how a boss chick will take you , your momma, and your side chick soul for coming wrong. Kaniyah finna have a whole lot of chicks bossing up and catching charges. Hate to see kaniyah go hope you keep her alive in one of your other books nikki

True Story, You Don't Miss A Good Thing, Until It's Gone

It's cliche, but the old saying is true...you don't miss a good thing until it's gone! I thought Kaniya and Lucky were forever...they always found their way back to one another, no matter the circumstances #classichoodlove But what's for you, is for you and no one can interfere with it! Kaniya finally got her happy ending, and gave us hell along the way. Lucky learned that you can't compete where you don't compare...although, I still feel like Lucky has some unfinished business (hint, hint)...of course, it aint no fun if the homies can't have none, so some of the crew peeked in and joined the foolery. Kaniya and Lucky had a good run and gave us a hell of a ride, but all good things must come to an end...or do they just come to a yield sign??????????

Wow Nikki you never let me down !!I Was so into this book from the beginning til the end . I was so glad when Kaniya finally wake up and let Lucky go . I couldn't believe after all her and Lucky been through he would marry her to be on the same bullshit. Why he felt it was ok to have is cake and eat it to. I couldn't believe that he wouldn't give her a divorce after he been cheating and having another baby on the way. I was so glad when she found Mr. Right and he put her in her place and show her what a really man is !!

I felt that

This was a pretty good story cute but there were some confusion on actual time lines like in the beginning Kainya was 28 and no sense of how much time had pasted but at the end she was still 28. Then legally you don’t need the signature of the other party to get divorced, so I don’t understand why they spent so much time on lucky not signing the papers. Other than those things, I really enjoyed.

You Don’t Miss A Good Thing, Until It’s Gone

I took a chance on this author and I must say she didn’t disappoint at all this is my 2nd book by her an last just say she has gained a reader I wish this wasn’t a standalone however he story was told very well there definitely could be a spin off of this book talking about lucky however this was a really great read And can’t wait to see what’s next for you!!!!

Ok

3.5 but because of the all the rounds of pure D childlessness from grown married and elder people throughout 85% of this book and the need of a editor. However growth is real and for the main characters it was a struggle. Anger and a need to get back at whoever crossed them. I will say that the story had a complete thought and it was a standalone book. I do think I will read another book by this author because this story showed me that it can only go up from here.

The ending was readable

I still wasn't a big fan of this read, but I am happy that Kaniya found her happiness with Khalid she did deserve that much. I'm not going to lie in all the books I have read Lucky was the worst character EVER. From the way he carried himself and how he felt like he could do whatever without any consequences, just amazed me. Khalid was a man of his word, and I loved that about him. Lucky could go straight to hell.

Nikki Nicole Went All Out

Wooowwwww. What a bomb no explosive finale to Kaniya's story. There was so much to take in and digest. Lucky really, really played himself. Khalid makes it damn near impossible for you to not fall in love with him. I was sucked in from page one and now that I'm done I wish I wasn't.

OMGee...I don't want it too end..

I hate to see this story of Kaniya end. She is the most passionate and loyal woman ever!! She deserves all the happiness in the world. Lucky married her for all the wrong reasons. He just did not want her to be with anyone else. Ali came in and sorta tamed the beast residing in Kaniya he really loved her unconditionally.

Hated for it to end ❤️

I love Khalid he was not playing with Kaniya. Lucky was selfish and wanted his side piece and wife. Kaniya has enough of that mess. Lucky momma got what she deserved to just a hater. Giselle still doing good with Dro. I was rooting for Tariq but changed my mind. Great job!!!

Great Read

This was a great standalone book from the beginning to the end. I can’t lie I like Kaniyah but whew she was definitely Ms. Pop it off by any means necessary. But I also know that when people mess with your peace there is zero understanding. This book was really one of those daily scenarios and the title fit!!
