Saint sir, I just have to say the amount of couth and filter that you did not have made for a great story. Baby the way I cackled the entire time, because why was you so mean sir? And Eve baby…what was the brand of the bat?

My Simmy Jimmy really showed the growth in Jahquel’s story telling from Capone. She gave us action, drama, spice, and everything nice. I wasn’t prepared for that ended but baby I am on edge waiting for the next installment

I really loved this story Big Meechie applied all the pressure and I’m so glad that Mara got in line when it came down to it. This book had a twist I didn’t see coming and a love story I didn’t know  needed.

Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior?

Baby I’m about to go get my crackers and juice, my holy water, and pray the rosary. I’m not about to play these games with Jules. I ain’t never looking at a parrot the same way again.

I loved his unconditional love for Bridgette. Seeing her blossom due to his protection and his unwavering loyalty to her was beautiful to read.

However comma I’m with Dre let me get on the prayer line

 I knew there was a reason I waited. I knew I needed to hold on to the new year because Prince deserved his new beginnings. Lesha deserved to become a new version of herself. This was an emotional read for me and I’m glad I made it to 2025 with a banger
