Story
My name is Kennedy Desiree Carter. I met the love of my life, Damion "King" Carter, five years ago. Back then, you would not have been able to convince me of the way that he would change my life, in good ways and bad. I was a good girl; on my way to college with a high GPA and big dreams of becoming a child psychologist. Yet, as soon as I met King, I also dreamed of being the best rider that any street nigga had ever seen. I was a good girl with a bad boy fetish, and King was the ultimate bad boy that came to love me in ways that I had never felt before.

Story
Apparently, I had been naive the entire time that I was with King. Who knew that he had been keeping such a secret from me? Just my luck, as I hid from him to gather my thoughts and deal with the pain, yet another crushing blow to my happiness was revealed. I then realized that I could no longer live for King; it was time to live for Kennedy. Little did I know, Jada was suffering the same heartbreak that I was. Dolla had torn her heart into two. My girl was miserable, but she didn’t run as I did; she was trying her best to inflict the same pain on Dolla as he had on her.

Story
Once I was released from prison, I thought that all of the heartache was over. I was back with my family, and I assumed that the nightmare had come to an end. Little did I know, the nightmare had actually just begun. Everybody around me was keeping secrets that would send me right back to a dark place, a place way worse than the prison that I had just emerged from. This time of my life was supposed to be my "happily ever after the bullshit." In fact, I was so happy that I didn't see the deceit that was happening right under my nose.

Publisher's Summary
True never guessed that life would be this hard. Being only 25 years old, she should have been being wild, reckless, and having fun, not fighting the hardest battle of her life, alongside a husband who no longer loved her. After their divorce, True wanted to be free and enjoy every day. Falling in love was not in the plan. She most definitely hadn't foreseen falling in love with an arrogant, womanizing hustler like Coop. Yet, she did. However, as soon as True tells him all her truth, he'll revert back to that unbearable goon that wreaked havoc on the streets of Chicago.
Coop grew up an orphan, passed from foster home to foster home. A hustler, his right-hand man, was his only family. His love was the game. His side chick was money. Then he met True. She filled gaps in his life that he didn't even know needed filling. Looking at her, being in her presence, was like the first warm, sunny day after a brutal Chicago winter. Being with her felt like being lost in the right direction. Coop had thawed out his icy heart and given it to True...just for her to break it. True was gone, unable to fix what she’d broken, but, lucky for Coop, True found a way.
Remi has been with Banks for 10 years. She remained loyal through every lie and infidelity in hopes that her patience and understanding will eventually bring her “happily ever after” with her one true love. Finally, Banks gives her what she has always wanted...a ring. However, that ring came with such a devastating blow, leaving Remi unsure how she will ever recover...until she meets True and Coop. Unbeknownst to her, these two strangers will mend her broken heart and cause her life to never, ever be the same again.
This is a heart-wrenching, yet warming, story of broken women who find love in their darkest hours from the most unexpected and hardened hearts.

Female narrator is AWFUL (fell asleep)
I am a Watkins and Diem fan but Laurel — NEVER AGAIN! I couldn’t even get into the storyline. Wasn’t expecting that the 3rd storyline. Would’ve been entertaining perhaps if Laurel wasn’t killing the vibe. After I woke I knew I HAD to exchange it. - An irritated hopeless romantic

Not good
This book is extremely elementary. The reading of the music lyrics is silly. The way the narrator speaks sounds too forced. The building of the story is very poor. I started the book so I wanted to finish...but it was very poorly written.

WARNING:SPOILER ALERT
the story line ok. A little far fetched with the whole hooking up my man with my hospice nurse so he won't be lonely stuff was wack. As a woman, I don't give a damn, I'm not pushing the next chick on my man while I laid up awaiting my impending doom. The female narrator could have been better. Her performance was a tad lack luster and all of her characters sound almost identical. Jacoby was amazing per usual. Wish he would have read the whole book.

Soul Stirring
My emotions are now all over the place! I've screamed at Remy for being dumb, shook my head at Coop, because he is one crazy ninja, cried with Angel, because True was my daughter too , and prayed that I could see Joy and Key's faces! Phenomenal read!
