The amount of big feeling I endured to get through this book was everything. Sime was one hundred percent factual about how he rolled in the very beginning, he didn’t play not none about his family. He love Ari something serious. She deserved all of it and the way she loved on him and Kyla said all that needed to be said about her spirit. This is just book one so I know we about to find out about them brothers and I am her for it.

More like beyond messy!!

I loved this book from beginning to end! Ms. Kimberly did not let up with this plot, there was no way for me to guess even a fraction of what was going to happen in this book. I loved that despite all of the things Ari had going on, she still found love. Ari & Sime were so good together and she fit like the missing piece in his life with babygirl.

My favorite person in this whole book was definitely Celia/Mama Cartwright. She didn't let anything get past her and she said exactly what was on her mind. I loved how she didn't baby her boys!

Korrine and her messy sister got off easy. I understand being the bigger person but I would've made her suffer a little while longer cause nobody supposed to come between you and your child... LIKE WHAAAT?

Can't wait to read the rest of this series.

I'm so happy they got to their happy ever after. I loved Sime so much but both he and Ari pissed me off soooo many times.  I wish we could have gotten some more back story on Ari and Jordan's beginnings to make him more of a villain and her more of a heroine. 

But I clapped and cheered when Sime got to him

.  I despise Korrine and y'all will not change my mind about it. KYLA and Celia are my boos.   I enjoyed the book throughly.
