Material Girl 2

Material Girl #2

by Keisha Ervin

Dylan Monroe, our favorite shopaholic, is back! She's three months pregnant and madly in love with the father of her child, sexy heavyweight champion, Angel. The only problem is the long-legged Victoria's Secret model standing in the way of getting him back. If that weren't enough stress, her Jack Daniel's-loving mother, Candy, returns to stir up even more trouble.
Unsure of how to face her future as a single mother, Dylan reverts back to the only thing she knows to comfort her pain--shopping! Rounding out the cast of colorful characters are Billie, Dylan's tightly wound friend, and flamboyant transgender cousin Tee-Tee, aka Dick'em Down Diva. Labels and Love promises to be a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt tale of love lost and love regained.

I've loved Angel and Dylan since book 1 and I'm so glad they got their act together b4 it was 2 late. Keisha Ervin has always did the damn thing and this book is no exception.

This book brought out every emotion in me possible. I was ready to fight Miliana, Ashton and Angel. Keisha Ervin did her thing with this book. She definitely kept me on my toes with this page turning book. I'm happy for Dylan and Angel in the end.

Dylan is now three months preggers, working a 9to5 and showing she has some good business sense in book 2 of Material Girl.

I love how Keisha Ervin gave us more Billie and Tee Tee in this book. We get to delve into their lives a little to see what drama they have goin on. In book 2 Dylan has to tell Angel she is pregnant the problem is the new lady in his life ain't having any of it. She wants Angel all to herself and will do just about anything to keep it that way. So many things occur and this book it is a pager-turner. I f you have read the first book this is a must read.

My Thoughts
Ok so Dylan made a nice comeback altho she has to go through some more growing pains she got her HEA and that's all that matters.
The Plotline was alot better than the first imo. It was very eventful and filled with some crazy twist. As usual Candy and Tee Tee had me gasping for air they were soooo funny!!!! And Billie oh i really enjoyed her Storyline! Good job Ms. Ervin!!:)

My Ratings
Characters- Lovable
Writing Style- Enjoyable and Witty
Plot/Storyline- Very Good
Overall- An Enjoyable Read

I decided to read this book out of sheer curiosity about what happened with characters. After the fake a** Sex and the City con job of Material Girl 1, I was already leery about the storyline so again I borrowed the book from my library. The back and forth with Angel and Dylan all the way to the end got really annoying. I read on a another review that there is to be a part 3 which makes the abrupt ending of this story all the more wack! I can still tell the author is heavily influenced by what she watches on TV because the book still had that "been done before" feel to it. Overall, she can come on with a part 3 because I will be borrowing that one too.

I love a good love story.

This was a really good read. The character were funny, loving, and very real. My emotions felt as if they were on a rollercoaster ride. Everything that happened with these characters was very close to things that could happen in real life. I'm crazy about Angel and Dylan. Great job and story well told. I look forward to more reads by this author.

[Jessica French · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know if Dylan and Angel were ever going to get back together. I was happy with the ending and glad to see Dylan finding love and thriving on her own. It was nice to read more about the other characters as well. Can’t wait to see what’s in the next book.

[Michael Bell · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't know who the Material Girl was in this novel: Dylan or Milania. It says that Angel was a heavyweight champion in the introduction. He never trained or fought in this story. Tee Tee was an entertaining character. Billie and Know had lingering issues. There were so many fashion items described that I think it took up 50 pages. The ending was like Best Man. This was a weak story.

[S. Reid]

About a decade or so ago I'd bought this sequel based off of my interest in Book 1. It was okay. I wish Ms. Ervin would resume writing her own books & refrain from promoting other authors' work who wouldn't do the same for her if they were in the same predicament...not wildin' just speaking a certain kind of honest truth from MY P.O.V.!

[Toni · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was bomb

[BossyLadi · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was cool. Disappointed she cheated again. She got her HEA in such a Lifetime movie-esque way. Good for her. Hope Billie and her man work out their issues.

‘TIME FOR YOU TO RAISE UP…GET UP, STAND UP, RAISE UP…’

Dylan Monroe is pregnant, working, and still single… although she longs to be in the arms of her baby daddy and the love of her life. Angel Carter has moved on with Vickie’s Secrets model, Milania Fairchild and no matter how his hearts aches for Dylan…no matter how good a sexual distraction Milania proves to be… his mind won’t allow him to forgive Dylan’s past transgression and follow his heart that will lead him back into her arms. Billie has taken a step back from her brother and best friends’ relationship, because she has challenges of her very own. Tee-Tee is swagging with his fellow lover while trying to build utopia by completing his family.

Material Girl 2 is the anticipated sequel to the effervescent quirky fashionista, Dylan Monroe, a fallen heiress with a pretty face albeit a clueless air head. Dylan has lost her man and her money, will she be able to rise up and take her rightful place in society again? Or will the scandals that she’s always wallowed in pull her to the bottom? Keisha continues to paint a vivid portrait of Dylan and her crew in a very realistic light. The sequel is outlined with love, labels, friendship, enemies, hope, reconciliation, forgiveness, new beginnings as well as maturity, and self discovery as they all fearlessly face their daily familial trials and tribulations. Some of the humorous scenes seemed forced and were mildly annoying to me. There were some predictable parts but Keisha’s growth is evident as she was able to deliver a good read. Material Girl #1 was the better read for me, but this was a decent follow up. 3.88***

I loved it!!!
Dylan and Angel!!!
Loved how Dylan matured in this sequel.
Yes she had her "blonde" moments but overall she showed just how strong she could be. I loved the development of her character.
She was more conscientous and she was determined to get through anything life threw at her.
Also appreciated the fact that her relationship with Angel wasnt automatically fixed even when he broke off his engagement with his girlfriend. She had to let him go because even though he had feelings for her, he still struggled with forgiving her and they both had to give each other space.
Wasnt really feeling Javier first cuz he came off as an ass but he redeemed himself.
Loved the part where Angel starts to realize that Dylan is it for him. On one hand he wanted her to be happy but when she got engaged, he realized he had to either take a piss or get off the pot because someone else was ready to step up. And when he said, You are my baby, I literally swooned, it was like awwwww. Angel. that wedding scene at the end was just whew, what an ending, I was like OMG is she really gonna marry Javier but o well I have spoken enoigh, Get the book!!!
the secondary characters are up to their same tricks but get insight into their relationship. Billie, learning to respect her new marriage and Tee-Tee's boo giving him the respect he wanted and realizing it doesnt matter what anyone else says, its you and me against the world~

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nothing I expected to happen in this book did. I was literally on the edge of my seat trying to read quickly to see what was going to become of Dylan's life. Her quadrangle with State, Angel, & Cruz was crazy. I was hoping to read about State more. Yes he was surely a jerk off, but I can't help but to love to hate him. Angel I definitely wanted to hit in the head a few times. I seriously couldn't figure out what was going through his head most of the time. He really royally screwed things up with Dylan. Cruz...not much to say about him, but his ending was a bit shocking. I'll be patiently awaiting part 3 to make an appearance.

[Ney Ney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I Loved Loved Loved this book! I loved the first one so I just knew the second part was gona be off the chain! This book will have you laughing. Especially with Dylan and her crazy ass Mama, and Tee Tee! There are one liners in this book and situations that happen when you just be like "Dayum"! This book could most definitely be a movie! Read and and I know you will fall in love with this book and be ready to read more of Keisha Ervin's books!

[Jewel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good sequel to the first. I loved the first book although it wasn't what I was expecting from Ms. Irvin. This book was good but could've been great but the ending sucked! I wanted more Dylan and Angel since that's what made me fall in love with the first one. Billie and TeeTee are great supporting characters and I would love to get deeper into those character... maybe like a branch out novel or something.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can't recall when I read a book in less than 24 hours. The book really had me longing for that "True Love Story" of my own. Keisha Ervin has done it again. I will credit her for the one author that has put LOVE back in the Black, African American, Urban communities. I so ready for whatever and whenever she publishes another book.

[Tasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMGosh i waited for this sequel, and was very happy how the story started right where it left off. i really didnt like malina at all and im glad Angel saw who she really was and hopefully him and dylan can work things out. i thought this book was also very funny dylan would always mess up and say the wrong things....LOL loved the book can't wait to see what happens next.

[Francesca Reid · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was very pleased with Material Girl 2. Keisha Ervin did a great job with continuing this story. I enjoyed seeing Dylan's growth as a woman and as a mother. I also appreciated how she gives us a look into Billie's life and her struggle with bringing old baggage into her new relationship. Cant wait to see what happens next.

[Bless · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so glad that in the end Dylan made the right choice and this book ended well! I'm so so so happy! Mason will have a very loving and caring family with the best oarents. The friends really stuck out to the end and they all learned how to fix their problems. What a wonderful book. I recommend this book to anybody who believes in love ans true stories along with fantasies.

[Angelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rollercoaster ride til the very end....A LOT of label dropping and I do mean A LOT.....thus the name Material Girl.......but Dylan wasn't the only material girl in this book.....still a very good read.......

[Mrs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the way part2 picked up from the first book. Material Girl 2 was a page turner. I loved the way Dylan and Candy matured in the story. Everyone was dealing with their own issues in the story, but I loved the way Keisha solved their issues.

[Sheryl Boyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book!!! I hope she writes a 3rd book. I enjoyed the characters and the whole story of both books. The 2nd book picked right up where the 1st one left off. I don't know who edited the book but there were grammer and spelling errors in this book. Keisha is a good writer.

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was ok. I was nit really feeling Dylan and Angel. Story dragged for me. Tee-Tee was funny as usual. Knox had me laughing as well as the twins, Candy and Gunz Uncle Clyde. I have not read book one but don't know if I will after reading this one.

[Shanaya · Rating 5 out of 5]

im so proud of dylan and little disappointed in her at the same time i wish she would've realized who she was meant to be with before the wedding and not have broken Javier heart in the process but i am happy that her angel are together finally but here's the big Question why is there a part three?

[lene Ade · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this book, it was very entertaining however I wasn't impressed with the ending. I'm not sure why there's a part three because it seems like things are wrapped up with this series but I will be reading part three.
