Still the One for You
Whoever said love was enough, lied.
Married fresh out of high school, Xander ‘Xan’ and Tomelia ‘Tomi’ Williams are ready to spend the rest of their lives together. With a bond thicker than most, Xan and Tomi are committed to the vows they took, or at least they thought they were until the aisle they walked down separates, taking them on opposite paths.
Stuck caring for his ailing parents, Xan foregoes college and enters the workforce to pay for their piling medical bills. The jobs that he works are dead end and pay very little, but Xan doesn’t mind as long as his parents are taken care of. Xan loves Tomi within the depths of his soul and couldn’t wish for a more loyal lady.
Now the breadwinner of the family, Tomi feels unloved and is tired of carrying the load on her back. She understands that being an only child, Xan wants to do everything he can for his parents, but it’s driving a wedge between the two of them and causing her to resent him. In search of peace from her home life, she finds some relief in monetary form from well-known Shea Reed. She learns quickly that everything that glitters isn’t gold, but will it be too late to work things out with Xander, the one man that loves her unconditionally?

A lot of fighting
The couple fought so much that it was difficult to see their love. Although Xan and Tomelia always professed to loving one another, I was hard-pressed to believe them. When they fought and argued constantly, I needed a break. Whew! I am happy I love my husband quietly, and he mirrors my action. The story was good; if you can see past the extra extra....

Growth and Pure Love
I enjoyed every minute of this book. I literally read it in one setting. The fact Xan professed his love for his wife but continued to put everything before her was crazy. There ended up being so many layers to the characters in this book that it was relatable. I appreciated that Bianca showed the characters ability to grow. Great Read

This was beyond a good read! Bianca does not disappoint at all. This took me through some crazy emotions. I’m glad Xan and Tomelia could figure it out. It definitely sucks how your parents can be the cause of your relationship failing for real.

I've never read a love story like this
Especially a black love story. It was simply amazing. Completely heartbreaking and also putting the pieces back together. Xan and Tomi went through so much but that's really how it is sometimes to make a couple come out stronger on the other side. Tomi was strong as... because she endured a lot with that mother in law for as long as she did. I really connected with the characters in this book and felt every emotion. That's how you know an author makes it on your one click read list. That, plus staying up all night trying to finish it. Bianca deserves the 5 🌟 rating I'm leaving here. Go on, click it. Happy reading!

This was a true page turner! This story sucks you in from the very beginning and holds your interest throughout the book waiting to see what’s going to happen next. From the start you can tell how much Xander and Tomi love each other and you knew that they were destined to be together no matter what they went through but these two took me through it right along with them. It’s like I had a front row seat to this movie watching every scene unfold before my very eyes. Bianca is a perfectionist at making her readers feel every single emotion her characters feel. I was very satisfied by the end of the book and it left me wanting more of their story!

Toxic lovers we love you!!!!
This book was so messy and every time I thought they were done with all that something new happened. Loved how no matter what Xan and Tomi were it for each other and I loved their relationship with their friends too always keeping it real (especially Rich and Black). I’m gonna say that XanTomi are not your average happy couple but they are real toxic!
Also just gonna say Shea is a POS! Happy that Diana apologised and that she was on good terms with Tomi before she passed <3

Absolutely Amazing Read
This was a dramatic!! Xan and Tomi were destined to be together. No matter what trials life took them through, their love was strong enough to bring them back to one another. It took them both a while to realize that the had to put their marriage before everyone else. His mom was a huge problem. This was an amazing book. Job well done, Bianca!

Outstanding
What a wonderful love story. Bianca never disappoints in her story telling. This was a perfectly crafted book about the trials and tribulations which Xander and Tomeli faced and the outside influences impacting their marriage.
Please continue with books on supporting characters Black, Rich, Ayesha, Natasha, Mace and Jeremy.

Xan and Tomelia
Xander and Tomelia were married but not happily! He was trying to be better and she wanted something more than all his attention being on his mother. Outside forces pulled them apart. Xander grew into a better more successful man and Tomelia learned true love isn’t always about the money! A good read!

goofy
This was well written but the characters are just goofy if choosing the loml means being disrespected and potentially cheated on baby I’ll choose my rise everytime. I’m so irritated with this book. This isn’t love it’s codependency- ew

good read
Babbby they went through it all! Sex was the one area they didn’t have issues. They were both at fault and I’m glad they found their way back to each other.

Beautiful story
Toni and Zan really was meant for each other. They was really put though it with the mother in law from hell, not to mention Shea. Another good read Bianca looking forward to reading more from you.
