I LOVE YOU JAYLIN!!!! I so afraid to go on to the next book!!!!!!
This book had a lot of ups and downs...I was so frustrated with what would happen next that I was nervous about coming to the end of the book...
But for once, I am sooo happy with the ending.....
Now for a mental health vacation from all the drama...Don't worry 24 hours is enough time to prepare myself for BOOK 4 :)
SO for now..... I LOVE YOU JAYLIN!!!!!

Just like the others in the Naughty series, this book was great. Never a dull moment. As usual, Jaylin was self-centered and the women were stupid. They seemed even more stupid this time around if that's even possible. This book has been added to my "favorites" collection.

NAUGHTY: Book Three
It’s Juicy No Matter How You Slice It…
When It Hurts…
Jaylin is back. You think he was a trip in the last book? Well you haven’t seen nothin’ yet. Book Three in the Naughty series, picks right up where the last book left off. Scorpio has busted Jaylin at Daisha’s house. Not only is Scorpio pregnant and engaged to Jaylin but she soon finds out Daisha is pregnant, as well. The drama continues…
Scorpio is scared of losing Jaylin. She is holding onto a secret that can potentially destroy their relationship. Daisha still wants Jaylin. Someone from Jaylin’s past resurfaces and Jaylin is not happy. Nokea, is confused with her feelings that she still has for Jaylin versus the feelings she has for Collins. Will she decide to let the past go and focus on her future with Collins? Will Jaylin be a one woman man, or will he continue in his quest to be a player?
NAUGHTY: Book Three It’s Juicy No Matter How You Slice It by Brenda Hampton is the best book thus far in the NAUGHTY series. The drama continues… with love, lies and heartache. The characters in this book are characters that you will love or either love to hate. This was the type of book you will want to reach through the pages and slap or shake some sense into the characters. Sometimes you will forget that this is just a book of fiction, because the characters are so true-to-life. If you have been following the series from the first book, you will find that the characters are like old friends that you have come to visit. If you have not gotten the chance to read this series…all I can say is you are seriously missing out on a talented author and a great story. There are very few authors that can pull off a 5 star read for every book in the series and so far Brenda Hampton delivers with a 5 star read, each…and…every time.

Awww I absolutely loved the ending was so happy to c Jaylin got the opportunity to hav some alone time to c who and what he wanted and of course Im happy he chose Nokia and she choose him.

This could be called the 'book of losses'. There were a few sad moments in this book but it didn't put a damper on the story. My money was Scorpio up until she got real stupid and crossed the line. I think I would have been done with Stephon a few mistakes ago. The tolerance that Jaylin had for that dude was crazy. But he may have finally come to his senses. Very nice book, on to book four!

Brenda Hampton and this Naughty series…frustratingly good. Jaylin is a walking hypocrite and does what he wants and all the women in his life are dickmatized and have gone from naive to plan stupid. But I’m going to keep reading lol

It's a mirror of todays relationship dating pool. The thought process of men and women. Also you can't control who you love and how other people love.

If I Ain't Got You
Is monogamy a word that could ever truly describe Jaylin Jerome Rogers? Readers have been anxiously awaiting what's next as book two, NAUGHTY 2: MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, ended. As NAUGHTY 3: CHANGE DON'T ALWAYS COME opens, Jaylin's escapade is revealed. Here he and Scorpio were planning on happily ever after and instead of one baby carriage, it appears that there will be two. Unfortunately, Jaylin's past relationships do nothing for Scorpio's insecurities, which trickle down to Daisha causing a rift. As life takes a tragic twist for the worse, although Jaylin tries, he can`t seem to catch his breath. From bad to worse, he loses his son, his absentee dad shows up asking for forgiveness, Scorpio is putting too much space between them, Nokea is moving forward with her relationship with Collins and Stephon, his cousin, has been experimenting with more than just sex. How much more can Jaylin take before he`s truly tapped out?
After so much heartache, jealousy, abuse, sex, drugs and plenty of restless nights, Nanny B has had enough and rescues Jaylin from himself. With too many bad memories in St. Louis to start over, Nanny B and Jaylin relocate. As Jaylin has alleviated a lot of the stress, freed his mind from a lot of the darkness, his heart is still hurting as he longs for the love of his life. CHANGE DON'T ALWAYS COME, but could it for Jaylin?
NAUGHTY BOOK THREE is all about growing pains for real. Readers will find themselves captivated, enraged and rooting on the drama. Brenda Hampton has definitely, in my opinion, created a character that you can't help loving and hating at the same time. Jaylin's finesse is sure to have some sort of an effect on all. It's definitely recommended reading.

Although I'm reading this series out of sequence, it does not matter because they fill in the blanks as you go along. This is book 3 and tells the story of Jaylin and the plethora of women rotating in an out of his life as he sees fit to put them into rotation. Jaylin is the quintessential playboy with money, good looks, and bedroom skills that keep them begging for more.
In this installment girlfriend Scorpio allows jaylin to do whatever he wants to do and she accepts it as the price to pay for love. She desperately tries to hold onto a failed relationship through sex and the possibility of a baby. She still believes that "love" without respect is worthy of sustaining a relationship.
Though Nokea and Jaylin have allegedly moved on, they are faced with their inevitable fate. You can love and relate to other people throughout your life but there is always one person that no matter what...no matter who...they remain in your heart. The sooner you acknowledge and accept that fact AND if it's reciprocated, you complete the circle and there's no need to look any further.
The one thing that consistently bugged me is although Scorpio was being supported by jaylin they were living together but she repeatedly referred to their bedroom as "Jaylin's bedroom".

Yes ! Yess ! Yessss ! I finally got the ending I always wanted ! I'm sorry I just can't find myself to like Scorpio or feel bad for her, because she was the other woman and threw it in Nokea && Felicia's face, so I look at her as a joke that she expects Jaylin to take her serious, and have respect for her, and idc how much he says he is in love with her, the bottom line is, she was introduced as a sideline piece and will sadly forever be looked as by me as a sideline piece, that for some unfair reason got to play house wife with Jaylin. I know, Jaylin is a piece of work and doesn't deserve ANYONE, but if I keep reading these books (smiley face) and he has to be with someone, it has to be Nokea. And I know I say I want Nokea to move on, but until she finds someone wayyyyyyy better than Jaylin (looks, money, bed skills etc) she should only be with Jaylin!!! lol Ughh they are the most frustrating couple but I love THEM together. Book 2 was really good but book 1 still beats it and I think this book beats book 2 as well !

Satisfaction Guaranteed
Change Don't Always Come picks up precisely where My Way Or No Way left off. Jaylin, Jaylin, Jaylin! You love to hate him, and hate to love him. Jaylin is still about Jaylin with a string of women in his wake. But which woman will still be standing in the end? What happens when Jaylin's love for Scorpio, Stephon, and Nokea is tested? And will change come for Jaylin before it's too late?
My sentiments are the same as the other reviews. I hate to see the Jaylin saga come to an end. I'm going to miss him. Brenda did an excellent job bringing it to its conclusion. I couldn't put it down. And yes this book deserves more than 5 stars!
I only have one question - where is the movie?!?

Insecurities
Collins and Scorpio seem to have one thing in particular in common. They are both in love with someone who is in love with the person that they love. Desperate to maintain their relationships, Collins and Scorpio both become creative. Will it be enough? Nokea and Jaylin have been directly and indirectly involved with one another for ten years. The bond they have is unbreakable, or is it?
'Change Doesn't Always Come: Naughty Book 3' is the best out of the three thus far. Brenda has pulled out all of the drama with readers anticipating the ending.

I'd have to say this was the best book of the series by far. It was great to see Jaylin finally do the right thing by Nokea, it seems like everything will work out for them in the end...hopefully! Scorpio really turned out to be something else, and Stephon, wow I really couldn't believe it. This book was really exciting, had tons of ups and downs, lots of hot sex, and of course all of Jaylin's world dramas. This is definitely a must read.

Mmp mmp mmp..omg Jaylin is a mess...like he makes me hate all my exes lol..like the twists and turns of this man's mind and the fact these women be hanging on to him like the last raft in a sea of sharks its like ohhh my really..the dick that good? Lmao..guess more drama to come..on to book four.
I didn't really like book two but this one was real good and added more dimension to the plot. Boi..I cant wait to see what this ole hoe does next..lol

Book #3 finds Jaylin dealing with a lot of his childhood issues, such as abandonment and resentment towards his father. He also deals with being hurt by the two women in his life…Scorpio and Nokea. At times, I didn't know what direction the author was going in and I started to give up on the idea of love, until…I got the happy ending that these characters so desperately needed.
This is one series that I recommend and Jaylin Jerome Rogers will stick with your psyche for a long time coming.

October 28, 2011Whew...Jaylin if I was in your circle and I knew everything that was going on, you would have broken my heart! At least you finally said "I LOVE YOU", but to two different women, ekk!!! Babies here and baies there, you are a regular Romeo!
February 10, 2013
Jaylin still thinking he's god gift to women smh! A little dose of his own medicine to say the least. Scorpio needs to grow uo , Stephon needs hell in the worse way. Life ain't all that foe these characters but everyone has a role to play. For clarification Nanny B is my face character :-)
February 25, 2013
OMG finally a happy ending is in sight. I was hoping that maybe by now Jaylin,Nokea, and Scorpio would get some sense and dignity and learn something from all that's happening to them. Poor little LJ and Mackenzie they're the casulities are caught in all this mess.
October 26, 2013
Jaylin Jerome Rogers is a mess! But fir some reason I find myself liking him! Yes he is trifling but so damn honest that I must respect him. The ending to this book made me shed a few tears.......I'm just afraid of what will happen next....let me get on with it book 4 up next
