This book was so good, I couldn't put it down. The characters came alive to me, their struggles, hardships, strength, stubborness, and pride. The chemistry between the John and Connie was great to witness. This book made me laugh, cry, and think. I love romance and I was truly glad that John had a chance to make peace with his grandmother, father, and his past. The beautiful part of the story, he called Connie., now that was truly awesome. One thing left me truly hook and I want to see a sequel about John's family. What is Moses taking to his grave? Gotta love a mystery

So Happy I bought it
I loved this book, i mean i have most of her books and they are not at all dissappointing including this one! As soon as you're finished you'll be craving for " You Gotta Sin to Get Saved" it's that good that it leaves you wanting more and after that even more!

Well written, but...
I thought that the book was well written, but it left me hanging. The beginning had me wrapped into it; I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. But as the book went on, it got a little slow. The author does a great job with introducing you to the characters and developing them. You really feel like you know the struggles that the characters go through. But I thought the book left a lot of loose ends. I believe that this book is an intro for the next book, so hopefully I will get my questions answered with JD Mason's next book, "Don't Want No Sugar." Thanks! :)
