Whew, these cliffhangers be having me stressed! Part 2.5 moved way better than the others, and I was here for it. I love the family dynamic, and man, I was too happy Alaia and Capp finally made it happen—’cause that buildup was taking me out!
The ending was sad, but I lowkey saw it coming. Now I’m just ready to see how Cappadonna’s story plays out and what else Jahquel got up her sleeve. On to the next!
“Y’all better grab a wet floor sign because this book is straight-up fire! Damien, the MMC, is the King of talk her through it—and trust me, the spice is endless. It’s not all just the naughty stuff though; there are some deeper moments, so watch your triggers. If you’re ready for a wild, steamy ride, this one’s a must-read!”
Brixx was out here living life on his own terms, but meeting Reagan? That flipped everything upside down. I loved watching him surrender to love and make proving her wrong his top priority. Their connection was far from conventional, but somehow it just worked.
Now, I won’t lie—Miss Reagan irritated me a time or two, but I can’t deny her loyalty to her family, added so much depth to her character.
This story had me hooked from start to finish. The chemistry, the growth, the drama—it all came together perfectly. Loved it!
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

If “Get Your Lick Back” was a person it would be Truce. His energy had me kicking my feet 😌 Sanai was unhappy & Truce saw someone he wanted & knew he would have. Why do we all love an unhinged 🥷🏾 Because they stand on business & make you the center of their universe. Truce is my first book Bae of 2025 & I can’t wait to get wrapped up in the next part.

Let me tell you… Evander is him. He’s this newly divorced businessman who stays buried in work, but the real gag? His executive assistant, Austyn, is the reason his marriage crumbled… and she doesn’t even know it. This book? Straight fire from start to finish! Evander is the epitome of “I said what I said”—intentional, bossy, and not backing down when it comes to claiming what he wants.
Now Austyn, bless her heart, had me side-eyeing her more than a few times. Girl, why are you fighting this man? Just pack your bags and move in already! He was giving big “Vander” energy the whole time, and in my head, I’m over here singing 🎵 Baby if you give it to me, I’ll give it to you… 🎵 every time he opened his mouth.
But listen, this book isn’t just spice (even though it’s spicy spicy). The love story underneath it all was so good. I kept flipping pages wondering, can these two actually make it work? Evander was solid, intentional, and honestly? A dream MMC.
The first book in this series was already on my Top 2024 list, so you know I had to check this one out. And whew, it did not disappoint. If you want spice and a love story with depth, this is it. Loved it! 🥰
BriAnn Danae knows how to write book bae 😍, and Saleem proves it. Amira and Saleem’s reunion as healed adults felt right. This series has been amazing, and I can’t wait for the next one!
Lakia brings the heat with Brixx! This unhinged MMC crosses paths with Reagan after a wild encounter that goes left lands him in the hospital. Reagan, the fine and compassionate nurse, is dealing with her own IKYFL drama when their worlds collide. She helps Brixx recoup but after his release their communication ceases.
One night, while tying up some loose ends, Reagan & Brixx meet again in an unexpected way. That night Brixx puts his stamp on Reagan and claims her as his. Their connection is explosive, but a plot twist you’ll never see coming threatens to shake everything.
This story had me locked in—I’m ready for part two ASAP!
So ummm were we warned before reading? Yes! Did that make a difference? No! This was beyond pearl clutching. Without giving away too much I love when a dominant man meets the woman that challenges his ways & habits. Nyrie had Beamer gone and I loved it! However he remained a BDE 🥷🏾 & made her fold of course! I do hope their flame reignites in the next part but it will be interesting to see how they proceed. If you aren’t into Cliterature which is my new favorite word to describe us that enjoy smut this one is definitely not for you! 🥵🙂↔️😮💨🔥
After 6 months of a reading hiatus (Due to writing my own novel) this was a great way to dive back in. Cross & Mecca gave me a headache and had my bonnet sliding off. The secrets, combined with the unhinged family members, haters, & betrayal had me reaching for my🍷 All & all… This one will definitely take you on a ride. They will in fact get on your nerves like Miss Aubry warned! 🤣
