Have you ever been so mad that you just wanted to get even with somebody. Well as the old saying goes, be careful what you ask for. In the Ultimate No No the only thing worse than a woman scorned is one on get back time. Tamika Newhouse has done a wonderful job of showing us just what can happen when you don't leave well enough alone. Nitrah Hill, has allowed her girls to talk her into getting into a man's heart (Troyon Washington) and then breaking it. The problem is once she gets into his heart he also gets into hers. However, this does not set well wither her girl Dahlia who has set this whole scheme in motion. Unbeknownst to Nitrah and the rest of her girls Troy the town slut has broken her heart in the worst way and instead of Dahlia being up front with her girls she tells them just what she wants them to know. While they are cooking up the scheme and Nitrah is following through she is falling in love. And, what do you know so is Troy. But, as luck would have it they all have a past that won't stay in the past. There is so much drama going on in Forthworth Texas that you may need to say a couple of Hail Mary's when you get finish. This book was definitely a summer sizzler. Five stars for Ms. Nitrah Hill who just happens to also be a very down to earth Authoress! --DC Reviever

I was looking for cheap books for my kindle and I came across this one. I started reading it 6pm Sunday night and read until 1:30 am, forcing myself to put it down because I had to get up for work in the next few hours. There were so many crazy twist and turns in this book and it will literaly have you screaming, "Oh hell no!" The end will upset you, but good thing there's 2 more books that follow this series. I'm currently on the second book. They say you get what you pay for, but I got so much more out of this book for only $.99.

This review is from: The Ultimate NO NO (Delphine Publications Presents) (Paperback)

Maintaining healthy relationships is not always an easy thing to do. But, through it all there are some things that friends will not do to each other, unless you are Nitrah trying to help Dahlia seek revenge on Troyon, the man that hurt her. Tamika Newhouse crosses the invisible line with her characters in her debut novel The Ultimate NO NO.

When Dahlia sees Troyon, she asks Nitrah to help her break his heart, like he has done to her and other women many times before. This one plan to scam Troyon opens up a well of secrets and lies among friends. Every time it seems as though it could not get any worst, another secret is revealed that will have you going "oh hell no." Lives are bound to change. Who will walk away happy and who will walk away defeated and heartbroken?

Ms. Newhouse created well-developed characters. These characters were in their early 20s and they showed/acted their age by the things they said and did. I enjoyed these characters so much so that I cannot wait to read the sequel. However, the editing and proofreading need to be polished a bit more. But if you are looking for a page-turner with lots of drama, The Ultimate NO NO will be a good book to pickup. I recommend this to anyone looking to read something entertaining.

This story was an ongoing roundabout of infidelity, deception, lies and jealousy. The three main characters Troy, Dahlia and Nitrah were a blast to read about. There were so many different stories within stories your mind never stops being jolted from one shock to another. "The Ultimate No NO" is no slouch of a story. Just when you are hoping for happily ever after, you wont get it. I had a whopping bit of fun with this one. Pick it up, you wont be disappointed!
