Slow start, I’m sure there will be some drama in part 2.
My girl Mahogany has been through it, thanks to that husband Duke of hers. Broken trust, betrayal, infidelity, emotional abuse.. over a stretch of 15 years. Mahogany attempted her get back for 5 years but didn’t feel any better. Duke is on the straight and narrow for the past 2 years since he felt his wife pulling away.
Just when they thought they were going in the right direction, the past comes back to bite you — I’m excited to see where this goes… I hope in Mahogany’s (aka my favor, if you know you know)!

Mahogany and Duke have been together for 19 years, married for 15 years, and he’s cheated every single one of those 15 years. Although she’s in dire need of a divorce, she doesn’t want one because Mahogany loves her husband and when Duke promised the last time was the last time, she foolishly believed him. Again. But, when the last time really wasn’t the last time (again), Mahogany has finally had enough with the blatant disrespect. So, while he’s out laid up with his current side piece, she beats her face, puts on her freakum dress, drops the kids off with her parents, and finally puts that invite to Pandora she was gifted by one of her clients to use. And, oh, did she put it to use. For the next five years (yes you read that right), Mahogany gets her lick back with multiple men in multiple ways you can only imagine at the exclusive sex club. But, is it really gettin’ your lick back when he doesn’t know?!!!
Duke can feel his Mahogany pullin’ away from him. Things haven’t been the same between them for years and he knows the fault lies with him and his cheating. But, when she catches him texting his newest side heaux and they argue about it, it’s somethin’ about the finality in that “oh, okay” from Mahogany that puts fear in his heart. Duke senses his wife has entered her when a woman’s fed up era and he’s deathly afraid he’s about to be served with divorce papers. So, Duke finally finds some act right and puts a pin in his cheating. As promised he’s been faithful for the last two years but, too much damage has been done and no matter how much he tries, he can’t get back what he f*cked up. This was such a good book! When I tell y’all Duke took Mahogany through it, Duke took Mahogany through it! These two are just coasting in their marriage and strugglin’ to get back to a place of trust but, Duke has lied and broken Mahogany’s heart one time too many for there to ever be trust between them again. She loves her husband but, she hates his azz too and no amount of therapy and marriage counseling can help Mahogany and Duke. They're already teetering on a very fine line and that little bomb that was dropped on him is going to push Mahogany over the edge and right into a divorce attorney’s office. If marriage in distress is your jam, add this book to your TBR expeditiously.
