  • The right of Love by Love Belvin

    The Series: The Low of Love, The Left of Love, The Right of Love by Love Belvin

    By: Cece Hymes

    This series of love was some great books Here is the Third one: The Right of Love

    This was the last book of the series. When I tell you, I loved this series. It was so good. Let’s talk about the third one.  So, Kennedi sees a therapist. She goes through the emotions but one thing she knows is all she wants is Isaak. She watches what he does from social media and still loves and does for his family without him knowing. She wants to prove her trust and love to him. She lost her best friend, lover and partner. She wants what her heart wants

    Isaak now is living his life but still never gave his heart to anyone else. He still follows and asks about how she is doing. He has been hurt and doesn’t want to move too fast in letting her back in.  He has his family and he been going through a lot of hurt also and pressure.

    They work it out and I love this book because no matter what was thrown at them, they made it. They worked at it and they were always friends first. I am glad in this one Kennedi stepped up to ask and to tell what she wanted.  This was definitely an emotionally addictive ride. Just two people who saw the world differently, making their own mistakes, learning life, learning love, breaking each other’s hearts not knowing that all they needed was each other. They finally came to common ground. Glad that she reconnected with the kids and they got married and became one. It wasn’t easy but what relationship is, what life is. We all learn as we go, and we just must find that right person to go through it all with. All relationships I believe your partner should be your best friend. One thing I did learn in this book and series is that communication and expressing yourself is a must in any relationship. Never think you are never good enough for someone. You never know what someone is going through and what they feel.

    This series was one of my favorites. It had me on an emotional roller coaster, but it had me wanting to know what’s next. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

  • The low of Love by Love Belvin

    The Series: The Low of Love, The Left of Love, The Right of Love by Love Belvin

    By: Cece Hymes

    This series of love was some great books Here is the Second one: The Low of Love

    This book is the second one of the series. Kennedi and Isaak haven seen each other since he left. They both were too stubborn to reach each other. Kennedi starts a bond with his family, and he doesn’t even know. She has helped his family in a way that was so much needed. She goes to visit and bring so much out of him that no other woman has ever done.

    Kennedi is so strong, smart, and amazing. She is just so naïve that everything that’s right under her nose she does not see. She is trying to protect a friendship that is so much more than that. She wants so much more but is so scared to admit it and she just keeps thinking she is not good enough when she is everything that balances him out.

    Isaak has all these emotions but doesn’t know how to express his emotions. He never was shown how to love. He has everything he needs but just doesn’t know how to put his family together. He doesn’t know all that is missing from him being gone and not being with the family he created. He is talented in so many ways. He thinks he is not good enough for this woman that really loves him unconditionally.

    They get closer and she experiences some love she never experienced before. She went to first base with the man of her dreams. She was inexperienced but willing and ready to learn. Ready to experience and take things to another level. Then she experienced a lot more. She got love and hate at the same time. The trips and the love everything was there but a commitment. A conversation for two people to take what they feel and put it together. They both go through so much and still think they are not good enough for each other.

    In this issue I had to ask is communication that hard to really tell someone how you feel? Can you accept someone’s family even when they don’t want that responsibility on you?  Can two people that think differently become one? Do things become too much that you must separate yourself? Why is love so hard? 

  • The Left of Love by Love Belvin

    The Series: The Low of Love, The Left of Love, The Right of Love by Love Belvin

    By: Cece Hymes

    This series of love was some great books let’s start with the first one: The Left of Love

    It was about a lady from Lakeside suburb that had always been raised under her parents and godmother who provided for her. She is 21 and taking on college she is determined to learn about her femininity of things. Kennedi is naïve, a good girl who is ready to be a woman. Also, there is a guy named Isaak who is in the streets trying to survive the world and take care of his family. He is a hood guy who is untouchable. His grandmother passed so he keeps his promise to her to go to college. While in college they must do a social experiment with others, and they are placed in a group. Everyone in this group must meet together and get to know each other for this project.

    These two Kennedi and Isaak end up spending a lot of time together; they both are brought up differently with different journeys. They both think that the other one is not interested in the other. They both think that each other is not good enough for one another. She is introduced to his family for different reasons in their path. She does some crazy things to try to prove she is a woman and have fun. She wants to fit in. He comes to the rescue to save her from something that could be very dangerous.  They Bond in a way where they open to each other and life.

    They both get close but never confess how they feel. He must leave and then there is the kiss. The kiss to love. In this book you think about and ask yourself why it is so hard to communicate. Why do we overthink things when everything is right in our face? How can two people in 3 months from different errors build this bond?

At the beginning they didn’t like the NFL player he always wanted to be in control and be the one to get what he wants. The rules are to never mess with clients to never mix business and pleasure.

    Brunch at Ruby’s

    This book was a good read. It was about 3 women that’ve been friends for 20 plus years and were having a lot of things go on in their life. The 3 ladies Debra, Maxine and Renee meet at a soul food café monthly to catch up on life. They have been going to this soul food café since they were kids.

    Debra has been married for years with one child, but her life is the same routine. She hooked up with a teacher and had an affair. Someone saw them and her life went through so much from there. Can you just imagine almost losing your family, job, and self over one mistake. As the saying goes it’s not always greener on the other side. She just wanted her husband to do more, spend more time. That goes back to communication: talk to your partner let them know how you feel before it even gets to that point to want to step out. Is it really worth it a fling of something new to lose so much over? Something to really think about.

    Maxine now this lady has her own business, she lives a fancy life, nice car, crib, and has millions. She has all this and still is not happy. She judges and finds faults in every man she dates. He might not be too attractive, or don’t have enough money, always excuses. She after a man that’s not into her but into her friend. She also has a good man that loves her for her. Is it a girl code that if your friend is interested in him you can’t date him? Is it wrong to let your friend be happy even if she knows you were into him? So much to think about. Do we really have to have what we really want in a man? These are the things we must think about in life.

    Renee now had a great life and was in love, good job but her dad got real sick with Alzheimer’s and her mom passed and left a bookstore behind. She gave up her life to go home and be there for her dad and leave her wonderful life behind. It’s so hard for her and finally she meets a wonderful man that her best friend likes but he is not into the best friend he is into her. She goes on dates and enjoys his company until her best friend finds out. Must ask is love worth losing a friendship of over 20 yrs.? Would you give up your life to take care of loved ones?

    This book shows that no matter what your friends are always there when needed. Brunch at Ruby’s is a funny, loving, and inspiring book. Have some sad moments but have lifetime bonds that bend but never break. We all go through hard times in life, but do you have the right people to be there through those times. Sometimes you must do what you don’t want to do but know that it’s always a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Follow your heart and not your mind. Never give up even when life gets tough. These characters in this book made it real this is what we go through in life, real situations. Great book can’t wait to read another one by her.
