I read the previews about this book and said to myself that I didn't want to read it because the set up to this story is similar in design to Santeria Habitat series with Lenore, Zulu and Meshack. While I really love Kenya Wright as an author and she can tell some amazing stories. I can honestly say that I was disappointed with this book.  As love that the Santeria Habitat series I hated this series. Thank goodness the similarities begin and end with the set up to the story.The story begins with two best friends Evie and Jay  who have known each other since early childhood. Both have crushes on one another and are completely unaware of each others' interest in one another. Both grow up and start attending the same college where they are still best friends. Jay has a girlfriend of 3 months name Cynthia. Evie while still hard up and horny for Jay  starts looking for a man to have sex with. This sets Jay's temper off to no end. That leads to a conversation of both of them confessing their desire for one another.  The complication lies with Jay not being comfortable in breaking up with Cynthia yet he cannot continue to hold back his desire for Evie. This story tells how a compromise is made for Jay to remain in a relationship with both Cynthia and Evie.This story was so aggravating at times that I wanted to step on this book like I would step on roach that creeps up and suddenly appears out of nowhere.  I just couldn't understand how Evie who has so much common sense about things in general, totally throws all caution and common sense aside to be with Jay, who is also in a relationship with another woman. It more than clear that Cynthia is a manipulator who has multiple ulterior motives. I became deeply disappointed in Jay that he would step on and abuse his love for Evie to stay with Cynthia also. In the book it never stated why he wants to be with Cynthia.I can see where this series is going for at least the next two books and I can honestly say I don't know if I am interested  enough to read it.  While the background to Evie and Jay friendship was fascinating I simply do not like their characters as it relates to their present story. Why you may ask? Evie's self esteem is too low,  Cynthia is a user, and Jay is just a plain asshole.  To me I was much more interested in Evie and Jays best friend Pipe and his relationship.  Pipe was a refreshing character in the book and if he was not there I think I would have given this book the lowest rating possible. If I read another book in this series it would only be to see how Pipe's story line turns out because I am too frustrated with Evie, Jay and Cynthia to care how their relationship will turn out.
