Summary: Baby Momma Drama definitely
Review: This book is a great read but I too was forced to put it down at times in anger. Dajah knew what she was getting into but it's still hard not to feel for her. She gave it her all only to be looked at as a pawn who helped mend a family. At times she needed to give Gina a good cursing out instead of hiding in fear. Rick was a real bonehead at times. It's all good to be there for your child but the shopping outings with Gina tagging along weren't at all necessary. And we not gonna even mention him thinking ANY woman would put up with his baby momma living under the same roof. Dajah was a fool. But again she should have known better than dating a man on the rebound. Rick should've taken time to get Gina out of his system. And Kanisha... he had her soooo spoiled. This whole changed Gina thing is just a phase. Even if they do get back together, with her being so young she's gonna want to date other men eventually, resenting having to grow up so fast. Dajah was way outta her league, she has alot to offer a good SINGLE man with no baggage. She's not selfish, no one should have to settle for less and share. Rick will soon see he won't be able to be with any one else cause no one with sense will stand for his BS. He'll get what's coming to him. And some final advice.. the only way of dating a guy with a child, and having a chance of it working, is if the baby mama is dead!

Summary: What can I say...
Review: This book was about a troubled relationship and the trials that we go through to make them work.All the signs were there, but poor Dajah wanted to believe other wise. I am so glad that she realized that Rick was just as bad as his smart mouth daughter (she needed a good spanking!). She went out of her way to make this relationship work. In the end I bet she would have followed her rules; I don't do share and I don't date men with kids. Great book with a lot of reality.

Summary: Been there....done that
Review: This book was informational as well as entertaining. I think it is good for anyone in Dajah's situation to read this book if for nothing else, to just understand how a man feels about his child from another woman. I did not particularly care for the ending, but maybe it was for the best considering Rick's situation and mind set. I also recommend this book to men who are dating someone but have a child from someone else. Mrs. Hodge presented a very good vision from "both sides of the fence".

Summary: She's done it again
Review: This book was the bomb. I wish I could have given it more stars. The book was so realistic. Rick is the parent of four year old Kanisha. Rick loves his daughter more than anything but cannot tolerate Kanisha's mother, Gina. Rick has tried harder than anybody else would have to try and make the relationship work. It isn't until Rick meets Dajah that Gina realizes what a treasure she had in Rick. This is a book you won't be able to put down.

Summary: Well Crafted
Review: This is a well crafted story of love, waiting, fatherhood, ex-girlfriend and patience. Margaret Johnson Hodge writes a thorough story here that makes you understand all the complexed reasons to write a book - to tell a well-rounded story. I got the point and highly recommend this book.

Summary: First time reader
Review: This is my first time reading this author's works. I enjoyed this book. As a single parent, I can relate with both female characters. The mother was in love and didn't realize she had a good thing until it was to late, so he moves on. Finding a 'new' love interest but not able to shake the past. I clapped for both women. I can understand both point of views. In all, it boils down to the child. In the end, love rules and along the way hearts are broken. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great read! I will continue to read this author's works and expect to hear great things about her.

Summary: A Love Triangle At It's Best
Review: This was a very fast paced read that left the characters in my heart long after the book was over. This book brought out emotions in me I thought I could no longer feel.What a story. First there is Rick who is involved with Gina but at a chance meeting he sets sights upon Dajah. Gina is a young weave wearing Queen who you want to hate but just can't. Dajah is a career minded educated sister who you could see chillin' with. And Rick well Rick is a brother who is trying to do the right thing but seems to want his cake and eat it too. At times in this book I did not like Rick because he seems to run from his real problems and then just creates more disaster in his wake. I do not want to be a spoiler so I'll just leave you with this: PURCHASE BOOK BUDDIES!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Good Read That's Very Real................
Review: Thoroughly enjoyed this book, that deals with love from more a reality angle than a romantic one. Dajah thinks she's found in Rick exactly what the doctor ordered; a handsome, hardworking brother with goals and dreams--and a child. Ordinarily, Dajah would not consider dating a man with a child but....she'll make an exception this time. Unfortunately, Rick is still living with Gina, his baby's mother; but Dajah is just the catalyst that Rick needs to move on and find what he thinks is real happiness. But what real happiness constitutes for Rick is being ever-present in his daughter Kanisha's life. Rick wants the best of both worlds--Dajah as his steady girlfriend, and Kanisha. Gina, however, has plans of her own. She is not finished with Rick, and is determined to make his life as difficult as possible.
When a series of events make it perfectly clear to Dajah where she really stands in her man's life, Rick is forced to make a choice...a choice that is not nearly as easy as he thought it would be. This is a book about real life, where things are not always as they seem and everything is not always in black and white...but often shades of gray.

Summary: Liked it but....
Review: To me, Rick was wishy washy in his business. He hooked up with a chicken head who knew what she had, but didn't give a flip initially. It caused her to lose him to another woman, make her lose the friends, lose her welfare benefits, and wrack her life to such an extent she almost lost her daughter. And,why buy a home, and have your daughter and her mother under the same roof?? No can do. All she did was try to wreck up him and Dajah, who to me, had the patience of a saint. After having the man's daughter tell her off, and still raise the child when Gina couldn't and put up with the many insecurities that went with this relationship. I would have stayed out of that. It wasn't nothing but heartache. This man tells you he loves you but...his child is important, and he don't even know whether he wants to be with you or the baby's mother(Gina). Well, you don't need to go there. And the ending, it didn't say that who hooked up with who, just gave you an assumption. I couldn't get with that.
