Soul Ties by Miss Candice | I Didn’t Think This Was for Me but Baby

Y’all… this series right here? I didn’t think it was for me at first but baby, I LOVE it, you hear me?

Sienna Mills was stressed TF out. She and her man Amiri had been together for years. She wanted more but chile, Amiri was very ho’ish and even after she caught him cheating, she took him back. Until the last time. Sienna came home from a drunken girls night to find Amiri passed out on the sofa. Her suspicions got the best of her and she went through his phone. Whewww chile why she do that? After her discovery, she picked up and LEFT. Found her own apartment and didn’t even tell her family where she moved to. That’s how over it she was.

Oddly enough prior to her latest infidelity discovery, she received a small gold envelope under her windshield embossed with her name. It was an invitation to Pandora’s exclusive NYE masquerade ball. Pandora was an invitation only sex club and Sienna had no idea how or why she was invited.

Jahad Baptiste was a wealthy Haitian man married to Leighton, who was expecting and high risk. Her best friend Farrah loathed Jahad and every chance she got was disrespectful in his home which frustrated him. They were looking for a doula to ease Leighton’s mind since she had multiple miscarriages prior to this pregnancy. Leighton felt guilty about not being able to satisfy Jahad since she was on bedrest. She kept offering him a hall pass to sleep with any woman he wanted for one night. He refused multiple times but she wouldn’t let up.

Now, from jump I was confused right here because what woman in her right mind does this? Right?! But I said, ok, maybe she’s testing him. When he went on to describe what he would do to another woman she spazzed TF out lol.

Jahad was under immense pressure in the family business as well as worrying about Leighton and the pregnancy. His brother Saint offered him an invitation to the NYE event at Pandora’s.

You see where this is going? Oh, you have NO idea lol

Upon arriving at Pandora’s, Sienna was shocked by the things she witnessed, including a woman being double penetrated. Not paying attention, she bumped into Jahad. He was mesmerized by her but his guilty conscience didn’t let him act. At first. After they ended up having shots together at the bar though, it was ON and poppin. When they got to Jahad’s VIP suite, baby he turned Sienna every which way but loose! And lil mama was throwin it back like it ain’t nothin! These two were freaky as hell and wild. But why she lied and gave him Naoki’s name instead of her own? lol The sex scenes between these two tho? Whewwww chile.

Needless to say, once he went back home, Leighton knew what was up and started acting even more crazy. She was suspicious of every damn thing he did and Farrah fed into it. Mind you, SHE gave him the hall pass and said they would never talk about it if or when he took it. Why did she have 5 million questions and get mad that he wouldn’t answer? lol

Poor Sienna was thinking about that thang nonstop ever since, driving herself crazy. Then she showed up to her first assignment as a doula and yep, you guessed it, at Jahad’s damn house. Can you say awkward?

Jahad and Sienna tried and failed to act like her working for them wouldn’t be a problem. Leighton had no clue Sienna was the hall pass and fell in love with her off rip. Sienna felt so guilty and was even angry at Jahad because she had no clue he was married and couldn’t see past him being a “cheater”. Even still, neither of them couldn’t stop having inappropriate thoughts about each other. I cackled when Leighton commented that they should try to hook Sienna up with Saint. Baby, Jahad wasn’t having it.

Leighton and Jahad should’ve legit hung it up a long time ago. Their chemistry was lacking and she really pissed me off this entire book. She was so miserable and spiteful, even when he was trying his hardest to please her and keep her happy. It was only a matter of time before he gave into temptation, on their kitchen island no less. When I tell you THAT scene was insane! Oh my gawd.

From this point on the book gets messier and messier. The families become intertwined, secrets are revealed, people get possessive and territorial and that soul tie between Sienna and Jahad becomes permanent. It’s a wild and oh so sexy ride.

I really enjoyed this book but I do wish that Jahad and Sienna had more than one book. There are 2 books dedicated to Saint and Naoki and three books for Sienna’s sister Mahogany. Every one of them is FIYAH.

TW: infidelity, miscarriage, marital dysfunction
