Publisher's summary

Love should burn slow, but with Ezra "Ethic" Okafor it is always fast and fleeting. After an accidental killing affects Alani, the woman he loves, she thinks he's a monster. Separated by tragedy, the pair endure a loss like nothing they have ever felt, and their connection is impossible to repair.

Ethic is reduced to misery and raising his children alone once again. With Morgan in the throes of a passionate love affair and Bella in need of guidance that he can't provide, Ethic is in turmoil. He's failing as a man, and the fingerprint he is leaving on the world is a bloody one.

In this second book of this epic love story, Ashley Antoinette taps into the soul of her listeners as she explores the limits of love and forgiveness. Is anything truly unforgivable? Or is Ethic the one man who can love a woman back from the edge of madness?

HORRIBLE!

I became so BORED with this book! The Aliya.. whatever her name is...I don't know... the main character is breaking her neck, dying to see Ethic but was denied access... he comes to see her... she doesn't want to see him... SAY WHAT NOW!?... this back and forth is nonsensical! The way it ends... I'm like, What, Wait.. that's it? It definitely didn't leave me feening for part 3.

amazing!!!

I have never had a book to take me to this place. I've miscarried several times and this book took me back to that place...the place to where my heart completely broke into unwanted pieces. i didnt get any explanation, had no one to blame. Be prepared....this book will take you to the limits of love and hate, passion and frigid.
I almost couldnt finish this. IT WAS JUST THAT POWERFUL.
I dont want you to kill for me ...I need you to teach me to breath again!
This book an example of love...or how to live without it!!!

ETHIC!!!!!

The second addition to series DID NOT disappoint!!!! This is beyond street fiction, this story touches every emotion in you.Ethic is the most perfect imperfect man ever penned. Ashley is simply amazing with the pen. My only wish was iikane was the narrator Nicole Small did not do the story just her reading was not as passionate as iikane please bring her back for Ethic 3

Is the reader not reading directly from the book?

I’ve noticed the narrator make mistakes with the character names at least 4 times... I’m not even half way through. I LOVE the story, I have to now purchase the hard copy.

The author is a poet

I don’t usually like ghetto stories but this one is special. I love how the author expresses the characters feelings, their pain and sorrow. Everything about this writing is captivating.

Incredible depth of understanding

Astounded by the intensity and depth of understanding of an extremely complex dive into each character. Loved it

Nicole Small is brilliant in reading this

A real ghetto mills & boons as I’d previously stated about bk1. But, the storyline of love and hate and confusion and lifestyle and the human condition (way too many ands here) are all here. Gripping listen. Now for bk 3.

Heartbreaking

An amazing toxic love story. If this was a physical book I would not have been able to put it down.
