Bestselling authors Kevina Hopkins & Miss Jazzie teamed up to bring you When The Side B*tch Understands The Assignment, a new, urban fiction, page-turning new series!
A young, soulful woman keen on changing her environment, Paris applied and got accepted into Spelman College. It was destiny that decided to push her to face the reality of life, troubles, and obstacles that she’d fall upon sooner or later. Leaving behind the remains of NOLA and embracing the heart of ATL, she soon realized what awaited her in the new place where she just had landed.
The King of Atlanta, Draco, is nothing less or nothing more than a beast himself as he locked the Atlanta. While his wife, a judge, does her work, he oversees the moments of cocaine, making sure to stay clean. He did his best to avoid his wife as he knew he’d be done for if his wife were to find out about his search for a side b*tch who’d understand the assignment.
When he felt like needing a female companion, he bumped across Paris, who knew the meeting by mistake could lead to an agreement signing event. Draco was able to rid Paris of her troubles while Paris was able to satisfy Draco. What would happen if unwanted lavish feelings were growing between them? Will the agreement still stand? Or will there be a blood bath, ready to hide their darkest secrets?
In this hot new African American romance novel, the two #1 bestselling authors, Kevina Hopkins & Miss Jazzie, have come together on this epic collab. Hailing from Chicago and New Orleans. Their writing is nothing short of a page turner.
From beginning to end!!! Okay so first off, I know Alana came a little later in the book but I can’t stand irky b!t6hes like her. She is too pressed for someone that’s supposedly a princess, she’s a needy c#m bucket that doesn’t understand NO!! I kinda thought Paris over reacted when they were at the restaurant but I can see that Alana makes you want to go off on her. I like Paris and I hope in the second book her dreams come true. No, no, no by no means do I condone what she’s doing, after all I am a married women but despite that part of her character, she has a good head on her shoulders and have goals beyond being a side chick. I do wjsh Jonah wasn’t Sasha brother tho.
Jonah seems like a great catch and I hope Paris baby is for him. Yeah he suffers from some depression and anxiety but if kept under control he wouldn’t be bad at all, but then again I’ve never dealt with anyone with that kind of illness so it could be easier said and done. From reading the reviews I don’t think it will last for him and Paris.
Sasha girl, I just don’t know what to say because while I do feel bad for her, she has to know when to compromise. Yeah they both knew what they signed up for when they agreed to marry but come on, at some point in your career, you have to stop and add to your family. Work will always be there until you’re ready to retire. Now she got Jayce in the mix, I wonder how far they’ve gotten since the whole work trip to NY. Also, she’s seems a little needy too in a sense, and this whole thing about condoms with your husband??!!! Like girl come on, if no one is supposed to feel your sugar walls without a barrier it’s your husband. I just don’t know about her.
NOW, this damn Draco. I don’t too much like him because how you this pressed but you married? How he making demands but can’t put his foot down with his own wife. He doing too much and been doing too much. I really hope in the end he is alone and Paris can break free of him. Besides, what he’s doing to his wife, he’ll do it to her if they were to really be more than just friends with benefits.
As I mentioned in the beginning, this book was 🔥. With this ending, I’m sure more secrets are about to be brought to the forefront. Im ready for all the smoke!!
I ended up reading this book as part of a group discussion. Kind of like a book club thing. Because I didn’t pick this book I’m not going to leave a star rating; however, if I did leave one it would have probably been a 2. I’m counting it toward my reads because I spent time reading it and I’ve set a numerical book goal for myself for the year…so here we are.
If anyone is interested in my take on the book…here it is:
This book was messy for the sake of being messy. It seems that everyone is sleeping with multiple people and then are surprised at the outcome. The MMC isn’t likable. He’s cute, has money, and has a decent sex game but has no personality. The side chick is barely 21 while he’s a 30 year old man. Not to mention he thinks it’s ok for him to cheat but says if he found out his wife was cheating on him he’d off her 🤔. He must have picked up that much audacity on sale at Costco because…say what now? What kind of logic is that?
The structure is also a bit messy. Things that (in my opinion) could have been explained earlier on in the story to set up more of an easy flow were thrown in last minute as a way to push the plot further into messiness but not really provide any substance. For example, “Oh, let’s just randomly throw in that this person casually held someone against their will but not mention that to someone that should have that info…or explain why that info isn’t being shared” or “oh, it seems like a good time to throw in someone random supposedly from the past to shake things up.” It was like these events were thought up on a whim and tossed in because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Both of these things could have been worked into the story sooner than they were to make more sense.
The cliffhanger ending was very predictable.
This review isn’t to knock anyone that may have enjoyed the story because I don’t think I’m the target audience. Again, since I didn’t choose the book I won’t unfairly leave a star rating. I just wanted to give my take since I did read it.
This book was good as hell but I couldn't do anything but shake my damn head while reading this. Sasha seems pretty smart being a judge and all but I'm still trying to figure out why she haven't figured out who her husband Draco is having an affair with. There are so many red flag's but yet she is steady missing them or she knows and choosing the right moment to bust Draco. She also has her own little dirt she's doing and I for one ain't mad at Sasha. Draco is a dog ass dude. There's no way around it and Paris being the faithful side chick has finally opened her eye's. Alana is another person that was a problem in Draco and Sasha marriage and now since the incident between Paris and Alana. Draco is stuck having to give Alana what she wants but that is what he gets. I can't wait until all his secrets and lies come to light. Then there is Jonah. Sasha brother who is interested in Paris but have also peeped what is going on between Draco and Paris. Jonah is clingy and might be a little unstable. The way this ended. Paris is pregnant and I can't wait to find out who's the father.
Some Folk Think They can do Whatever They Want Without Any Backlash!
Ladies, y'all had me like really for real? This man really think he controls everything and everyone. Draco, started an entanglement that now he can't bow out no matter the cost, he is losing his mind, he has secrets that seem to be about to be exposed. Paris was a young girl minding her own business not bothering a soul,now she is involved in a serious situation and now as soon as she felt she was handling Draco here comes some mess that she really wasn't expecting. Sasha, is Drayco wife and she has a secret that she really thinks will blow up. If she really knew what we was going on with Draco she would feel better I'm sure. Mix in some dickmatized Alana, and you have a recipe for disaster. Can't wait to see what happens with these dysfunctional crew🤗🤗🤗🤗
They understood the assignment when they put Kevina Hopkins and Miss Jazzie together. This book gave me life. I'm so giddy, I can't wait till part two drops. I wanna buy a sixteen seater dinner table just so Alana can have as many choices as she needs to have a seat, hell she can have all sixteen chairs just long as she park it somewhere. She really done worked my nerves with her thirsty azz. Draco must got that demon 🍆. Ion care how nobody feels I like Paris although I don't agree with her arrangement with a married Draco. She is trying to give Jonah a chance. I'm not to sure about him or his sister Sasha right now. I think she doin a lil sump sump on the side to. All I know is I want front row seats when everything hits the fan. You ladies did an incredible job.💛💛
Love it I really enjoy this read and I hope that baby for Draco sorry to say but Paris don’t need that baby to be for Jonah cause I believe she will catch hell with him if that baby turn out to be for him and then she got Draco on the other hand that can’t let her go and he also comes with a lot of baggage along with his wife Sasha and his connect daughter… now he needs to cut ties with Alana thirsty behind she be working on my last nerves and Sasha really gon lose her husband if she don’t learn to appreciates what he doing for her I wouldn’t be saying a peep if he went all out for me I would not be asking why he doing all of this all of sudden enjoy the moment while you can lol but I’m looking forward to part 2 rooting for Draco and Paris 🥰🥰
You two out did yourself again. This book was a real page turner and a really really great read. I am excited to find out what happens next. This is such a messy a$$ situation. Sasha your shit ain't squeaky clean either. Alana I hate females like her. What a women go though and take just to be with the man they love instead of finding someone who would treat them right. I just hope that Paris see that she deserve better. Jonah ain't working with a full deck of cards. Draco needs to change his name to Mr. Player, I sleep with anything. Paris clearly had self-esteem issues and no self respect for herself. I really think Draco is the baby daddy. Draco and Paris need to get their life together.I can’t wait till part 2!!!
Sheesh where to start...Paris is fun loving and you can tell her energy is refreshing that how Dray messed around and caught feelings. Now Dray and Sasha o can see how he is frustrated with her. Everything has to be calculated. Now days we not doing it like our grandparents we need some spice every now and then. If Sasha waant so caught up on controlling the love live sotuation. Hence giving Jhace a chance to sneak in.. now that darn Alana yall should have left her in ATL..lol she's a meddler and a $#it starter for sure. But that cliffhanger sheesh. Poor crazy Jonah we gonna find out if he really cray cray...
Ohhh chile, y’all did y’all thang on this book! I literally finished this book within a couple hours or less. Draco and that darn Paris is something else. Alana is going to be trouble because she do to much, and let’s not talk about Jonah. Jonah is going to become a serious problem as well. Sasha so worried about what Draco doing but she got some skeletons in her closet as well! Can’t wait til part 2 come out be a I’m ready for all the dirt and tea
This is definitely a messy situation. Paris needed to stop with the bs. The title she’s holding is distasteful. Now she’s stuck between a bitter exit and baby daddies. Draco needs to be castrated cuz what you’re doing is not right at all. Sasha got something brewing cuz I know Jonah bih azz been pillow talking,and she’s too calm. Jonah is too clingy and ion like him at all. Alana is bitter and that azz whoopin wasn’t enough. I can’t wait for pt.2 cuz this book is definitely full of drama
Omg Alana just don't know when just mind her business. I really want to know who is Paris baby daddy. This is going to get goo like Draco said wss he going to be a uncle or daddy. Jonah is crazy I hope he act right with Paris but he won't. Sasha is but to cut up cause Alana don't know how to stay in her place. But what did Paris expect she slept with two men bare. I wonder will the DA act right with Sasha since he sampled the goods. Draco need to get his life on travk.
A Must Read Book!!!! This book was so damn good from beginning to the end. Draco and Paris relationship was beneficial to the both of them for different reason. I never understand how Sasha couldn't put it together and realize what was happening in front of her face. I was shock that Sasha step out on her husband but everyone have a broke point eventually. Jonah is to clingy and always need his sister help or advice. Alana need to get drag a second time for what she did to Paris. I can wait to see what happen in Part 2.
Whew Chile they didn’t understand the assignment….. draco was a whole mess, Paris girl I like her but at the same time I don’t cause girl no glove no love….. I don’t know I feel there is more to Sasha cause ain’t no way she walking around no knowing…… I don’t know about Jonah they already said he got weird vibes…. Can’t wait to see what happens in part 2 cause both Jonah and draco act a little unhinged.
What in the Jerry Springer/Maury stuff Paris got going on if you ask me she ain’t no better than her mom and sis but the difference is she knows how to get what she wants. Draco he is something else just typical I don’t blame him for sleeping with Paris she a catch now she done put that snapper on Joanh she don’t know what she just got herself into but I can’t wait for Part 2 cause this book about to be more juicy then ever
If u looking for a book full of lies and deceit with a whole lot of drama, then u picked the right book. Paris and Draco situation is a mess, at 1st i was all happy for their relationship until the married part. Then to add his wife being a judge to the mix and doing her little thing….Whewwww and let’s not forget Alana but i don’t trust her with a long handled spoon….Then the brother Jonah hmmmm i can’t wait to see the outcome….Do i see a Maury episode in their future 😂😂😂😂 Loved this
Dray has three women and Alana is the annoying one. I like Paris I think she deserve to be with someone she doesn’t have to share. Sasha cry’s and complains about Dray cheating but she doing it too. I actually like Jonah he really like Paris just clinging. I wonder who she pregnant by. Can’t wait till part 2
Dang Alana running her mouth too much she becoming too clingy just like Jonah I think then two need to be together because they acting just alike oh man Paris what did you get yourself into and who is the father the question is will she keep it..can't wait to see what happens in the next one
Draco was definitely crazy... he was doing too much with all the cheating...Paris definitely understood the assignment when it came to being the side chick... now that delusional Alana was doing too much... I'm sure Sasha was topping with dude do I'm her job because good head was hard to give up...now I'm a little confused as to why Sasha set her crazy brother up with Paris
Great read! I love the chemistry Draco and Paris have. But she should know nothing good will come from messing with Draco's brother -in-law. She put her self in an even more compromising position. She gonna find out how truly crazy Jonah is . This book was a great read. With trifling characters even Sasha
This well written book was definitely full of drama. Draco wanted his cake and eat it too. Sasha was just naïve and didn’t know what she wanted. Paris was just young and dumb. Alana was a psycho and I don’t know what’s up with Jonah. Add a baby int the mix and it’s about to hit the fan. Can’t wait to read book two.
This is a good read and I can't wait for the nxt part bc the shid is going to hit the fan for everybody. Alana is doing to much to try to hold onto Dray and I can't wait to see how all of this drama, lies and secrets comes out bc everybody is playing a dangerous game with people feelings and krama is going to be a b**ch once everything hits the fan
Oh this is gonna be a mess. Alana is a certified fool. Draco needs to worry about Sasha cause Jayce is moving in. And Jonah smh I don't whats gonna happen with that. This was a good read and I can't wait to read part 2
I need book 2 like asap. I can't believe this ending and Alana needs to disappear. I like Jonah for Paris, but I like Draco too with his selfish ass. Jayce sounds like a snack too and want more from him. Bravo on this book!
Wow this was really toxic situationship. Draco and Paris really needs to stop. They both playing with people feelings and now with this cliffhanger what are they gonna do. Book 2 please
Whew Chile Alana talk too much for me her face been cut up aint enough I hope Paris baby is Jonah because Draco got too much going on and his wife cheating too she ain't good either;!
I was not expecting things to play out the way they did. Paris played her role but that Alana. Lord she was a mess. I could not with her. Now Sasha was too blind. I can’t wait to see how book two plays out because the drama is about to get real.
It would be poetic justice for Draco to be uncle Dray😂 This is 1 of those tales that seems like whoever ends up with Draco… whoever wins his heart…is actually the loser in the situation 😩
Mmmmm when is part 2 coming is all I can say ,What’s don’t in the dark will Come to light , 3 women three different situations and now a baby ,mmmmm the messiness will only get worse
Wow toxic Draco is a straight up dog with control issues and three different women.am glad Paris has a internship but now she has to find out who's is her baby daddy is. Alana is going to be a problem.
Wow Draco is messy as heck . I feel as if Jonah gonna be a problem. Paris should know better. I really can’t stand Alana. Oh wait Sasha two wrongs don’t make it right!! Definitely can’t wait for part ]
