A Staten Island Love Affair #4
A Staten Island Love Affair
In the finale, everything is coming to an end with the crew. After being married for just a month, Myeisha has found out what her husband has been up to. With two children and one on the way, she has a lot of decisions to make. Including, if she’s going to reconcile with her husband, or file for divorce. If that’s not enough, she’s missing Rucka and wants to now make things right with him. Will Rucka hear her out? Or will he tell her to kick rocks?
Rucka had to sit and witness one of the hardest things he’s ever had to witness in his life, and now is trying to pick up the pieces of his life. Where does this leave him? His heart is still with Myeisha, but he realized that Myeisha has broken his heart for the second time. Will he be forgiving? Or will he move on with his life? Bonds are formed between he and Mariah. She’s mourning her husband and he’s tending to a broken heart. Will these two cross that thin line? Or is Mariah’s love too strong for her to betray her husband, even in the grave? Then he has to deal with Kenya. The two left off on good terms where Rucka didn’t ask her to sign the divorce papers. Is a divorce on the horizon for these two? Or will Rucka realize that Kenya has been the woman for him all along?
Maliah is trying to move on while putting her relationship with Teck behind her. Even with her being in love with him, she refuses to end up like her twin sister. When Teck starts bringing a new chick around, Maliah starts feeling something she has never felt before; jealousy. Will she break down and reveal her true feelings to Teck? Or will she allow Teck to move on with a woman she knows is no good for him?
Mirror has an important decision to make. Will she have her baby in Dubai, or will she fight Orlan to have their baby in America? If that’s not enough, Hudson’s messy life starts to spill into she and Orlan’s life. Will Orlan and Hudson’s friendship end? Or will Orlan put Hudson before Mirror? Ronnie is not going to lay down and accept a divorce. She’s going to fight tooth and nail for her marriage, even if her husband wants nothing to do with her. What happens when Hudson finally finds out who her baby’s dad really is?
In the finale to this series, everyone is fighting with their own demons. Some overcome, and some lose a piece of themselves during the process. Get ready for the finale ride from the crew. Grab your toll, and cross that bridge for the final ride into Staten Island.

that twist….
This was a reallly good conclusion to the series buttt…. to me, the twist with Mariah didn’t really make sense and felt a bit left field- I still don’t get the rationale or need for that twist and it felt more for shock value than for plot sense- which is fine, but definitely a choice (that my HEA-obsessed self did like don’t get me wrong). I think across the series the character development was strong and even and although I didn’t necessarily like the characters, I found them compelling and didn’t want to stop reading about them. I think this final book in the series wrapped up everyone’s lives as well as it could have been wrapped up and overall, I enjoyed the series.

Great Love Affair 💛💚💙💜
Jahquel just knew to write that lil note in the beginning stating not to ask for a spinoff because that's exactly what I wanted to do lol. Man when I tell you when I seen Trac name for a minute I thought it was an era but once I continued reading I was like Jahquel is a fu#$ing genius the way she handle that situation. I felt bad for Kiss and her situation but glad she's getting back to herself slowly. I loved Mirror and Orlan together, they were made for each other. I'm not going to lie Myeisha was get on my nerves until pretty much the ending but she did get a reality check and took ownership to her faults, Rucka came home and manned up in a major way and the only thing you could do is respect it. Maliah got her ish together and got the love of her life back and I was happy about that. I loved this series Jahquel did a great job and I surely can't wait to see what the next series has in store for us.

Enjoyed…
This was good. I enjoyed most of the characters and was rooting for them to find their HEA. Some characters worked my nerves with their choices. But figured it out in the end.

Great Series
I feel as though I am late to this author, but I'm so glad I stumbled into this New York life. I have been hooked and running through these books like crazy. I love Jahquel's writing style. What she calls a slow burn is getting to know the characters and building a story that brings you in and gets you hooked.
I have to say that A Staten Island Love Affair is probably at the top of my favorite list of her catalog. I felt connected to so many of the characters. Shed real tears when something horrible happened. I was vested in the drama, cheating, and secrets.
Jahquel definitely takes you for a ride!

Happily ever after!
This series was excellent! Filled with so much, Jah dealt with some heavy stuff in these books! Rape, infidelity, lies, death, addiction, murder, deceit, sibling rivalry, pregnancy, miscarriages, marriage, divorce, drug dealers, sex trafficking, it was all in here. In the end everyone got what they deserved! It was an excellent read, some grammatical errors throughout, as well as editing needed, but I really enjoyed it. Read all 9 books in 3 days. Jahquel J has an awesome gift of story telling, so glad I found her!

I don’t know if I agreed with Trac messing with Marisol but I understood he was on a mission. I’m glad Kids was able to get some comfort behind Mouse and B-Dubb demise, they truly got what they deserved. Mariah lost her twins and thought she had lost her man. Myeisha getting therapy was so needed because Rucka a good one, I don’t think I would have ever been able to speak to her again .

Excellent Story
Well I cried through most of this part. So much was going on with everbody so I couldn't help it. You would've thought I really knew these people. I like how Mouse and bdubb got handled. They deserved it. This was another must read by this author. She needs spellcheck bad though.

My my
Awww I loved this ending for everyone. This story had plenty of twists and turns but I'm glad for the happy ending. I wonder if we can see if Ruckas and Myiesha reunite in the future maybe with a baby and wedding. I would love to read about that. This book is a definite banger and if your looking for something to keep you guessing then this is it.

Great Series Crazy Drama
This entire series was well written. I liked to meet the additional characters along the old characters being added to the book. That was crazy about the whole Trac situation but it made the book interesting. Glad to finally find out who Marisol baby daddy was. Happy Priest and Justice finally got married.

WOW
Janay and her mother were pathetic. Let’s just start there. Myiesha was too slow to allow them to manipulate her. She needed to go through that hurt to find her strength. I was so glad. That all the couples got what they needed to heal.
Ruckus and Kyle…I was waiting for that to happen. I’m glad that went smoothly.

Very good series!
I truly enjoyed this series. Even though in book 3 I was heartbroken and book 4, Myeisha just tapped danced on my last nerves. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It gave me all the emotions! Thank you for that.

So good!!!
This series had me in a chokehold! The suspense endings in all of them lead me to this point of completion! I am so glad that we have arrived to resolution. While I will miss these characters, can’t wait for the next series by Jahquel J.

Perfect ending
Now this was a good way to end a series 🤗. We got closure for kiss and Myiesha when it came to the backlash that happened in book 3. Then we got some HEA for Mariah and Maliah😍.

Excellent Read!
This series held my attention from beginning to end. It was one of the best series I have read in a long time. The wrap up of everyone’s lives was as it should have been.

Beautiful Ending!
The last book of this series was beautifully written. I was nervous with all of the POV’s at first but everything came together perfectly. I enjoyed the ending from Rucka’s POV and I am content with his this journey ended. Per usual, thank you Jahquel!!!

This was a roller coaster ride
I’m glad everything settled in the end… but I hate that Rucka still gave Myiesha a chance. She was so gutter to me and he deserved better but I guess the heart wants what it wants so there you go.
