Willing to do anything to keep his love child a secret, Wayne is willing to pay Chardonnay off so that she will disappear. He risks everything just to save his marriage with Desiree. However, karma comes back to bite Wayne in the butt. It isn’t until Wayne gets a taste of his own medicine that he learns that some things should just stay buried. Desiree Barker is spinning from her brief connection with her past lover, Diablo, and the man she has given the last several years of her life to, her husband Wayne.

Princess Diamond
81 books184 followersI love to write. Making up stories and bringing characters to life is who I am. I use it as therapy. It was my escape from the inner city struggles of Chicago/Gary. I have seen a lot of crazy things and overcame even more. Those situations play out in the stories that I write. The drama will have you speechless.

WTH!!!
Spoiler Alert: Unfortunately, book 2 was a stretch for me. I know it’s fiction but it still should make sense and be feasible. So these people are really running a drug empire yet they can’t connect the dots better than this. So for one, Sushi is with Diablo so why would Freeway believe her when she came to him on some sneak snitching type of stuff. That should have immediately been a red flag. So you don’t go straight and holla at your boy who’s been your day one. Then Desiree gets mad at Diablo about Sushi when she was the one who didn’t even know who her baby daddy was. How hypocritical can you be. Then Wayne letting Chardonnay blackmail him when he could have threatened her with her cousin’s murder. Then, Meadow waits a few days to tell what she knows about Sushi. REALLY??? I could go on and on about how things just didn’t add up in book 2. Lastly, I cannot stand Desiree wishy washy butt.

That's What Her Ass Gets
Boy oh boy, I'm so sick of Chardonnay it ain't funny. She just be doin to much. She done killed two people and still trying to act like the mourning victim. I hope they lock her under the jail. Wayne with his weak self , I can't wait to see his blood splatter. How he gonna be mad at Des when he gotta whole baby on the way and was still smashing other women. Des and Meadow are some strong women. Meadow has been kidnapped,beaten and raped. Des dealing with the infidelity of her husband, ran over by the side chick, losing her unborn child , now Wayne done snatched up Reign. I can't wait till they get their happiness. I'm nervous for Freeway and Diablo. Something don't seen right with Picino. I don't know if he running scared or what but something is up. They better get a hold of Sushi also cause I believe she plotting with Wayne's father. 💞💞

🔥 omg
From start to beginning it was a page turner. Diablo and freeway was looking everywhere for Meadow but didn’t have any luck. Meadow was finally able to get away from Kip after being held captive, beaten and raped. Sushi is a snake, sleeping with everyone but trying to turn Freeway and Diablo against each other. Who is the man that helped Meadow, and why he was in the restaurant with Sushi? Desiree went back to Wayne so Reign could have both parents but her heart was with Diablo. Wayne kidnaps Reign to hurt Desiree. Chardonnay blackmailing Wayne but gets exactly what she deserves. Kip and Wayne brothers? Pacino is Wayne uncle? So many secrets exposed, can’t wait for book 3

Whew this book was 🔥🔥. It started right off where it finished. This book had so many twist and turns i couldn’t keep up. I cried for meadow. I felt so bad by what she went through. But I’m glad she kept the strength to get herself out. Kip got exactly what he deserved nasty.... I’m glad meadow calmed down and talked to freeway. I was ready to throw my phone at how stupid she was acting at first. Desiree and Diablo are my favorite I’m so glad she left Wayne alone. Something about him just not right. I can’t put my finger on it. I can’t wait to see how both relationships turn out. Chardonnay is definitely a nutcase. I knew she would be arrested. And I’m glad they did. She deserves whatever is coming her way. She should of just act went on the run. So ready for part 3

Secrets and Lies!!!!!
Wow. Sushi is really for everybody and going around starting all this mess. I can't believe Kip with his dirty rotten a**. He did Meadow real dirty. All these secrets coming out in the end got my jaw drooping all the way to the ground. I'm totally at a loss for words. Chardonnay....she getting all her karma finally but she so dirty she gotta gem somebody up with her. P.S. I cannot stand Wayne and know he had something to do with what happened to Meadow.

Look
Look now this series is getting out of freaking control! I can’t keep track of the truth 😩😩. All I do know is Pacino isn’t being truthful, neither is Darryl, & Sushi is in it up to her eyeballs.! I have a few theories though. Got my dang on pressure up. You play tee merch! I can’t even begin to harbor a guess as to where this is all headed. I do know Wayne has got to go! Incredible job

Okay
Idk if I read this too fast or it was just short but it was still okay. Im glad Meadow got away but I’m mad Diablo didn’t help Freeway look for her. Pacino is looking suspect too. They also need to gone and tell Desiree that Wayne is Kip cousin. I’m glad Chardonnay finally got caught. Sushi is next Wayne is so stupid for paying her 100 thousand dollars. I wonder what his daddy got planned.

I liked part 1, so I wanted to see what part 2 was about. I hate what happened to Meadow and I couldn't wait for revenge. Chardonnay is still a bird and Im glad she got her day as she did many people dirty. Wayne is still a snake. Glad Meadow got away and that Kip is dead. Sushi to me seems sneaky yet I can't put my finger on it. Hopefully get my questions answered in part 3. Im looking forward to part 3.
October 21, 2019
Must Read!!!
I really hate what happened to Desiree & Meadow but they got through it. I'm glad Kip got what he deserved. I hope Wayne get what he deserves soon. Desiree don't deserve for him to keep putting her through mess especially involving their child. I hope she stays with Diablo because he's better for her. I believe Sushi is trying to turn everybody against each other but she working with someone. I can't wait until part 3 come out to find out what happens next.

So much Drama!!
And the secrets keep coming out. I can not believe all the drama in this part. Kip was a pig. I wished Meadow could have killed him she needed that closure. Desiree going back to Wayne was a big mistake. I want Chardonnay and Sushi backstabbing behinds gone. I want to know all about Wayne's father and Pacino. Oh this is getting so good. I'm ready for part 3 right now. Great writing and a great read.

So much drama going on with every page you turn I’m anxious to find out what’s going to happen next. Why is Pacino so spooked of Wayne’s father? That darn Sushi is sneaky and up to something. I hope she gets what’s coming to her soon. Char thought she was in clear...nah boo you just walked into a trap. Wayne wrong for putting their daughter in mess between him and Desiree. Please let him give her back soon. Part 3 me ASAP please!

I loved the 2nd installment of this book!
I loved the 2nd installment of this book and it didn’t disappoint! When you are a strong woman and a leader, it takes a lot to bring you down! Desiree and Meadow are certainly ride or die friends who learned how to suffer through adversity. Friendships sometimes will be challenged but if it is built on the right foundation, nobody will be able to break the bond. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Good Good!
Well they do say the second time around is always better. The writer comes back with a bang! The main cast of characters are twisted up in so much intrigue that it's going to take Sherlock Holmes to solve everything. I love that everyone thinks they know what's going on and don't have a clue. This was and is definitely entertaining. So looking to the conclusion,which I'm sure promises to be spectacular!

Loved this book!
Oh my goodness this part was too good. I know Sushi been all in the middle of this playing both sides darn helfa. If she pregnant more than likely it is Wayne's baby. Wayne has a lot of nerve what makes his wrong less than Desiree's wrong when he had more than one chick. I hope the couples stay together and none of them get hurt. Princess Diamond you did that! On to part 3!

Good read
Great storyline! Kip was low down dirty, glad Diablo was there for Freeway! Meadow character was strong and now she wants revenge! Wayne the typical male, can dish it but can’t take it. Desiree and Diablo are good for each other can’t wait to see the outcome of them getting Reign back. Part 3 should be interesting with a lot of answers!

Dead has arisen
So Wayne's dad has come back from the dead. Sushi is playing both sides with her messy self. Chardonnay has really messed up now. She is going to have to explain where she got all that money from, and she's locked up for murder. God don't like ugly. She was lying on Wayne trying to get him locked up for something he didn't do. Well on to part 3.
