Publisher's summary

Healing requires separation. When Ethic discovers malice in a woman he thought was perfect, he walks away from their love. Keeping his family safe is his main priority, and falling for Alani Lenika Hill is dangerous. The history of their love haunts him, however, and getting over her isn't easy. Alani has beguiled his two youngest children and they crave her presence as much as Ethic. They want a mother. He wants a woman, but with ghosts and lies between them, the couple is forced apart yet again.

With love comes pain, and Ethic feels all of it. He can't focus on anything and while he is distracted by heartbreak, his eldest daughter, Morgan, is caught up in a deceptive affair. With bad boy Messiah, pledging allegiance to Morgan, she is willing to defy everything and anyone to keep his love forever. This story is a soul-stirring journey of love, loss, and forgiveness.

Will Ethic finally receive everything he deserves? Or will karma circle back for him and destroy him for good? Ashley Antoinette has penned a new classic with the Ethic series. Ride with her as she paints a poignant picture of Ezra "Ethic" Okafor, the imperfect man who gives perfect love.

The heart beats for itself

Alani is so confused. She loves Ezra and his whole family, but it's understandable that she can't forgive and forget just yet. The lose of a child is weighing heavy on her.

Would've been better with Nicole narrating

The back and forth was killing me! Either forgive him or don't...this is driving me nuts.. Nicole Smalls should have narrated this one too. She made EZ sound like a girl, just not very fond of her voices.

This is a love story....

If you’re looking for the same “gritty” story line Ashley normally gives us, this ain’t the book for you. There is no “hood” action. No drugs, no murders, no street hustle. I love the characters but this was a little too mushy for them and it just didn’t fit.

-Disappointed

She did it AGAIN!

I LOVVVVE me some A and J!!! They make their stories so descriptive that you can literally see them in your mind as a movie. When I was in jail and then prison, I said I wouldn’t read another book because I had read so many during incarceration! And when I got out I’m a single mom of 4 who works 7 days a week so I never had time to read even when I wanted to, but this is like my umpteenth book I’ve listened to of A and J’s on here and I am so eternally grateful! I love the relationship between illanie and Ethic and I can’t wait to find out what kinda bull Messiah is hiding! I will have to wait til next month to get the next Ethic book and I can’t wait. I hope A comes out with another Prada book and I LOVE how she intertwined Yaya In this one!! Thank you for allowing so many of your books to be available through membership because there are a lot of non African American authors who want you to pay crazy money to listen to their books (as if theirs are better, which they’re not) Many blessings to you and your family! You both will always have a number one fan in me!!

The Climax

Ashley Antionette, in my opinion, did a great job in capturing each character in this one. For those who gave sub-par reviews, what were you expecting?? “Ordered another round. It’s about to go down!!”
