Below is Episode 37, and it’s full of spoilers. If you haven’t read Free Game, skip down to our reviews.

 

Receptionist, Isis Bennett, isn’t looking to be boo’d up. Opting out of the complications of love and relationships completely. She’s single, carefree and loving it, and that will never change. Until Freedom Owens steps into her job, challenging the love ‘em and leave ‘em attitude that had always worked for her.

Newly retired, superstar rapper Freedom, is looking for a change of scenery. After dealing with his ex, love is the last thing on his mind. That is, until he walks into A Kiss of Ink and encounters a certain dreadlocked beauty. After their brief interaction he wants to make her his, but there’s just one small hitch to his plans. She doesn’t do rappers.

Isis plans to stay far away from the handsome entertainer. To her he’s a player like all the rest and refuses to let him or anyone play her. When a dare shifts things between them she’s prepared to do what she does best. Leave him right where he’s at.

However, Freedom is determined to prove that he has more to offer than the late night pleasures of their arrangement. He plans to teach her a thing or two about love. Will Isis ever be ready and willing to receive Free Game?

Renée’s Review

Well damn! Free Game done set a ninja’s heart free lol. Isis was done for from the jump.

I love me a story with a hardheaded ass heroine and a man that actually has a heart. This book did everything for me. Isis kept pissing me off because we all wanted to see this thing full out. On the other hand, I completely understood why she tried to be a G. It wouldn’t do nothing but hurt her in the end but pain can be sobering.

This was my first Kema B. work and I loved every second of it!

Telicia’s Review

If you don’t have time to read this, WAIT!!! I will be sleepy in the morning at work because I started the book after work and couldn’t put it down. It was soooo good Oh how I love Free and his Icy girl. Sis childhood trauma is so sad, I can def relate to her with seeing how toxic my parents were together and never wanting any parts of that. I love the family Isis had, that called her out when she was wrong. Her mom is dope! She owns up to her mistakes and tried her best to raise her children to not be like her. She is the perfect non-perfect mom to me. She’s also funny and I was right along with her on asking if Free has a brother or cousin or something that’s just like him for me. I already know he is not looking my way lol.

Bridgette’s Review

I really enjoyed this story. The way my new Fam met was so original and flirty. I wish Freedom would share some of his attributes this way 😉 The connection Free and Isis had was so magical. But I have to put the spotlight on my boy Aeryn. He really cared for Isis and didn’t mind letting Free know where she stood 🙂 and that he would come for him if need be.
