Wheww.. goodness!!! Talk about Alot! Ok so yes we all hate Troy! But, for me the most toxic person in this big ass orgy because thats wth it felt like was Desiree and Jamal! Their lies will alter peoples lives forever. Lying about who you are to stay hidden is dangerous. Diseases don’t have names on them. All can be affected by it. And Desiree trying to go from man to man to see where he heart will stay is ridiculous. I wanted to slap her in every chapter. This was definitely good and juicy!

The chances are really less that I as a reader read an entire book which is not based on any fiction genre and is entirely based on erotica. Though I have read a couple of books belonging to this genre but they were served with a blend of crime and suspense genre that structured the base plotline of the book.
In this book, Desiree Edwards who is married to a doctor named Jamal but their flawed relationship ended up being a part of tragic love triangle with Jamal and two other characters ignoring the protagonist.
Suffering the load and stress alone and juggling with life alone Desiree Edwards, felt alone and helpless which made her follow or do many good and crooked things which she realized later.
The most meaningful thing that I gathered from this book is that one should always know the art of settling oneself down in case of any trouble, hurdles or misshapenning. Overall, it's a quick and erotic read which I would only recommend to 18+ readers and audience.

OFF THE FLIPPING CHAIN GOOOOOD!
Trigger Warning:
Domestic Violence
Desiree is married to Jamal, but desires two other men Derrik & his friend Troy. Jamal is Desiree's Husband is desiring two others Angela and Rico that puts him in his own love triangle. At the end of the day is infidelity worth it?
This damn book read like a goddamn movie, or aTV series. This was so good, but at the same time so messed up the backstabbing, scandalous, freak nasty and crazy stuff happening in this book. I don't know which character I wanted hit the most because say what now !!! Chile the whole plot was scandalous....talking about one ain't enough what thee hell it should've been. This book had me screaming at my kindle ...do you know I went from casually sipping tea to full on a glass of whiskey. ..these characters had my nerves shoot. Am I saying the book is good ...you damn right I am that's an understatement, but hell if it didn't have my blood pressure through the roof. Where is netflix, peacock, all blk, BET networks because they need to give this author a damn program deal.
Mo Flames you have the audacity to have the second book Still Ain't Enough um for real...I'm going to read it but know that I know my blood pressure is going to be through the roof after how you ended that damn first book. As far as the sex everybody was getting it in and it was BDE all over the place. Damn right this is an amazing book !

Love triangles, high stakes, page-turning drama!
I wasn't ready!! This book went from zero to sixty in .0003 seconds! Steamy love scenes, major drama, and jaw-dropping, shocking plot twists from beginning to end. A juicy read that will definitely end any reading slump you might be in. And that ending?! I need book two because I need answers.

One ain’t enough, hmpf…well apparently three isn’t either. Author Mo Flames, definitely keeps you on your toes and there’s not a dull moment in this book. From the first word to the last, I was entertained and engaged. She gives you some fire azz sex scenes and a lot of it, I’m mean a lot. They’re fawking so much, I thought I was pregnant 🤣. This intriguing and suspenseful storyline is also full of drama with some scandalous mofo’s that had me furious wrapped up in the many twist and turns with some of the most disloyal, cheating, lying, and deceitful people ever. I wanted to c h o k e a few and slap some common sense in others, but I couldn’t negate the emotional impact this behavior has on the character’s. This story shows abuse, the impact from it and the impulsive decisions from them based in hurt, insecurities and others in jealousy. I couldn’t believe what I was reading and the dysfunction doesn’t stop. Still in shock, left on this cliffhanger and cannot wait to get to book 2.
If you want a suspenseful story full of drama and who’s sleeping with who,…baby get this book today!!!

Man oh man
This book had so much going on nonstop action from beginning to end. There were several couples and a few throples where one party may not have been aware that they were the third part of a relationship. Then there was the one four sided couple, not sure what call that. The common demominator in all the relationships was Desiree. She was the driving force among them all good, bad, and ugly. For each of these couples, one was DEFINITELY not enough. This was my first read by this author, but it will not be my last on to the second book because I have to see what happens next.

This was my first time reading Mo Flames. This was an interesting book. It's different than other books I've read but it was a good read. The subject matter was difficult to read at times since it dealt with domestic violence and victim shaming, doubt, and all the feels. It hit home hard because I had a friend that experienced it and it brought back some memories of her fighting back and taking her life back and the struggles she had.

Your Ex Only Comes Back to See if you’re still stupid
And yes Desiree truly was all these characters were into having their cake and eating it too! Everybody got cheated on by everybody no relationship was healthy and I was taken aback when after all these years went by Troy was still able to get in her panties a real bust-down in character! How can you not know your husband was with a man and then to have your brother checking too…how you end up sleeping with the same Man as your Brother what a wild story line!

Gripping
This certainly had me hemmed up. It was both super entertaining and super infuriating. Desiree was an idiot. Troy was maddening. Angela was laughingly gullible. The only ones that seemed to have some sense were Brielle and Derrick, though they certainly weren't saints, either.
Regardless, I kept flipping through those pages because I was incredibly intrigued to find out what was coming next. Looking forward to the next one.

Debut novel by Mo Flames reads like a tv series - you're pulled into the storyline as her characters deal with real life situations involving friendships, love relationships & how people's lives become intertwined through drama, conflict and the twists and turns of life. It will make you want to yell at the characters or feel empathy for them but you'll most likely feel something for someone in this story. It ends leaving you wanting book 2 so luckily it's a series and Book 2 is already out with Book 3 coming soon as this crazy story continues lol Enjoy!

This is a dramatic tale of Desiree Edwards, a woman torn between not one nor two but three man, each with a grip on her way of living. It's Scandalous, dangerous and emotional read at a same time.
Desiree is married to Jamal, knowing all along that Derrik is just the right guy for her. She's also terribly attracted to Derrik's friend Troy, who is a famous NFL player. On the other hand Jamal is involved in a triangle love that does not include Desiree.
It's an interesting read. A lot of ups and downs, twists and turns will keep you hooked till the very last page. The writing style is engaging, characters are well developed and storyline is exceptional. Will Desiree learn no one wins when infidelity, lies and betrayal are in the mix?

Desiree was in bad relationship and after the last time, she finally decided to move on with her life. Desiree was finally where she wanted to be in life, but her past came back and she opened the door and let it in along with her future and present. This book had so many layers that were unpacked and through it all, Desiree still didn't learn her lesson. Desiree had the one man in her life that could be enough, but she couldn't see what was right in front of her. I'm hoping in the next book Desiree wakes up before its to late. The secondary characters had just as much going on. This book took me on a ride I wasn't ready for, but I enjoyed every but if it!!!

It's one of the messiest books that I have read this year. The entanglements are too close for comfort. I mean damn everybody almost is sleeping together. There is no loyalty amongst the marriages.
These characters are crazy & the main FMC I personally wanted to smack several times because her decision-making was terrible. I wanted someone to physically hurt one of the MMC's, but her got a different type of hurt. Welll Mo Flames, you have twisted my arm, I will go to the 2nd book faster than origina8planned.

One Ain't Enough......Well, I guess not! This is a book of musical beds. No one, and I mean, no one is faithful to their partners. And because of this, the steam is rising from my Kindle. Hot. Hot. Hot! I don't like reading about infefility, but I couldn't put this down. So many jaw dropping moments.
Things were not settled at the end of this book. I see book 2 is out. Titled One Still Ain't Enough. So I'm thinking Desiree will still have issues.

I don't even have words. Alot of twists. Alot of turns. MORE SEX THAT NEEDED.
The relationships in here were all toxic. There wasn't a HEA. Whew.
It'll keep you entertained but I didn't like a single character. Brie was funny as hell though.

This was wild. Who would have thought that that crazy BFF in the beginning of the story is the only one with a sane head on her shoulders. These people are trainwrecks that I couldn't look away from.
