Trying to be there for someone that refuses to do right can be difficult and taxing on the mental. Kema Richardson Semien understands this predicament well, because the love of her entire life has put her in the middle of it. After dating in high school and breaking up due to Philly’s involvement with drugs, Kema decides to focus on her rodeo career, not giving another man a second look. When Philly enters her life again over ten years later, it’s because his brother had married one of her best friends. Convincing her he’d left the streets behind and was now the owner of a successful mechanic shop, she succumbs to how she still feels for him and gives him a second chance.

Philly Semien has been the local supplier for years and as his street pharmacy expanded its reach, he knew that he was in the position to take over all of Southeast Texas. However, the one thing he wanted was to have Kema Richardson. He vowed that he would do whatever he had to do to get her, including fabricating stories to deceive her. When his truth is discovered, Philly doesn’t know which way to turn. He knows that he was wrong for lying to his only love, but he didn’t know how to run the streets and give her what she wanted. There wasn’t room for both, especially since the life and Kema were like oil and water. His heart was begging for her forgiveness, but it was also longing for that adrenaline rush he got from the fast money the drug game offered.

Kema loves Philly with everything in her, but she knows she can’t continue on the path they were on. Philly had deceived her and had betrayed her love in the process. Philly realizes that life just isn’t worth living without Kema, but will he be able to convince her that his intentions are pure?

Romance author, Monica Walters, is best known as the queen of country hood love stories. As an Amazon best-selling author, with multiple award nominations and 2021 winner of Literary Jewels Literary Awards for Best Romance Author, 2022 winner of The Reading Warriors Choice Awards for Breakout Author of the Year, 2023 Literary Gems Awards for the Readers’ Choice Award, 2023 AAMBC Romance Author of the Year, and Black Girls Who Write Lit Awards 2023 Author Queen of the Year, Monica has always had a passion for creating different worlds with words. Starting with poetry, writing has always been a constant in Monica's life. The interest began in her teenage years, being in love for the first time. Her love for writing has only progressed. Song lyrics and poetry led to short stories, then one day in her down time, a short story became a full-length novel, which was self-published in 2014.

The first country hood love story, 8 Seconds to Love, led to a string of novels highlighting country living from rodeos to ranches, but with the characters maintaining the urban dialect that readers love from her. Monica was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, but she now resides in Nome, Texas where most of her country stories take place. Besides being a wife and mother, attaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology has only helped her become a better writer, understanding characters and their complex personalities.

After reading the first 5 books I can now almost tell that something big is going to happen that will strengthen the couple in the story line bond. I like that. Another great read. On to book 7. Short but to the point. Very detailed

Philly Philly Philly!!! I’m so glad he finally got it together!!!! Kema was playing with fire in the beginning but she ended up holding it down when the time came. Glad they got there happily ever after. I enjoyed this book just as much as the others. I’ll be checking out the next one in the series!

Each book that I have read has been excellent and very entertaining. It's been hard to stop reading them. I'm looking forward to reading the next one by Monica Waters.

She was so down for him. I haven’t been that deep in love before but to go to jail behind a man is one thing. She betrayed her morals, values, passion, her reputation and boundaries for love. That’s some deep love that is foreign to me. To be able to sacrifice that much is too high a price for me.

These 2 have had to be my least favorite characters so far! I fussed at them both the whole book! 🤣

Kema and Philly were together since high school. She refused to live with him being in the drug game any longer so she left after one year of marriage but life has a way of bringing things full circle! He found out who his enemies really were! Who would've thought Muscle would turn on him! They grew much closer and got 2 bundles of joy out of it too! Loved it!

Really Good Love Story

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2021

Going into this novel, I thought it would be totally different than it actually was. Although Philly brought a lot of drama to the story, he was a likeable character and I rooted for him in every way. We've all been in Kema's shoes at one point or another, and with one guy or another. So I understood where she was coming from. I'm happy that things worked out for them in the end though. I enjoyed reading about their journey to get back on the same page in their relationship. Seeing their family and friends have their backs the way they did was heartwarming. If only more families and friends were like that in real life. Witnessing the support assured me that things would work out for the two of them. Although I could predict what would happen at some points in the story, I still enjoyed reading it. Damaged Intentions was a pretty good romance story and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good hood romance.
