Butterfly 2

Butterfly 2 is the highly anticipated follow-up to Butterfly ( spinoff of Moth to a Flame + The Ethic Series) by Ashley Antoinette. It picks up shortly after the events of book one. Morgan is a woman torn between two men. If that wasn’t hard enough…well, you’ll see. I could not get enough of Isa and Aria. They definitely cut through some of the tension that this book contained..
Ashley Antoinette has once again crafted an emotional story that will leave you on the edge of your seat the entire time while reading. I went into this book torn about who was right for Morgan… I closed the book with one name in mind . The pacing of this book was perfect. It didn’t feel rushed or slow paced. The characters were well developed. I loved seeing the characters from Ethic make appearances throughout the book, not to mention a blast from the past! I cannot wait to discuss this book in-depth. I cried, laughed, got angry, and more. It was definitely an unpredictable story and I cannot wait to read the third installment. The playlist Ashley provided fits perfectly with everything that happened within the pages of this book.

Ashley Antoinette has done it again!
This is the second in the Butterfly series and picks up the story where the 1st book left off. Following the life of Morgan Atkins and the men that love her.

With the return of one character what does that mean for Morgan and her current love triangle? Will she sink back into her depressive state? Will she thrive and grow into the woman that we are getting glimpses of? I am not sure if this novel answers all of these questions without creating more for the reader but what it does it gives us an amazing story of growth of a young woman what has suffered continued turmoil in her life. It is a thrill ride as we approach the end of this one so buckle up for the journey.

I am a major fan of one of the guys vying for Morgan's love. So I going to be vague on purpose to avoid giving away too much of the story but baby Ahmeek Harris is THAT dude. Just call me Mrs. Harris and my actual husband is ok with this too, lol. Isa and Aria provide the lighthearted relief for the majority of the novel which was great. The continuation of their relationship development is nice to see from these "hard shelled" characters. Isa is a true “tell it like it is” friend and I love him for it! We need more Isa's of the world.

Bash is back and I was rooting for him at the end of book one because he was an innocent however now not so much.

Both Ethic, Alani, Bella, Easy and Henny make appearances. I am still in love with Ethic and Alani. They just got it right and I am so happy for them. Alani is a mama and that is just a joy to read.

I am a old school fan of Ashley Antoinette's writing and it just keeps getting better and better. There is a part three that is will be released later this year so this story will continue to develop.

OH MY GOD!!!! This book had me all up in my feelings. It was full of angst, suspense, surprises, laughs, steamy scenes and everything in between. Honestly, I feel there is no way for me to even justify how freaking fantastic and real this book is. I have to start by saying I love Ethic! I haven't read Ethic's story yet, so I feel like I'm still getting to know his wife Alani but I'm liking her a lot. Ethic keeps it real. I loved his relationship with Messiah and the tough and deadly love he shows him. Isa & Ali is a trip!!! I love them together because not only do you feel the love between them but it feels real and they are funny as hell. Isa is funny as hell! Now here is were I get to Mo, Bash, Meek and Messiah. Mo still carries hurt, pain, doubt and has insecurities due to her past but I will need baby girl to get herself together, like yesterday. There's no doubt who I want her with but it might just be wishful thinking on my part and I'll have to wait and see. However, I'm ready for her to be happy and do what's best for her and her twins. I hate Bash and his sad ass excuses, and his mom is no better. I wanted to throat punch him so many times. He really had me in my feelings. He needs to disappear Ethic style. Meek is the fantastic!!! I love him almost as much as I love Ethic, so he's definitely pulling some heart strings. This book will have you out here looking for a guy like Meek. I'm still trying to feel out Messiah. My head has him going in a different direction but you won't understand why I'm saying this until you read the story. My heart goes out to him but boy his secret had twisted. Don't sleep on this book!!! This author has a way of pulling you into the story and making you a part of the crew. That takes skills and I have to give credit where credit is do. Ashley Antoinette is AMAZING at what she does when it comes to writing. I can't wait for more. #ThisIsAMustRead #DontDropTheBall #SimplyAmazing

I loved every moment of this novel! Very well written, minimal errors, easy to follow storyline, and Ashley doesn’t overdo it with the amount of characters. It also takes a lot of sharp turns towards the end of the novel obviously building up to a third part. But I think it’s well worth the read. Just the way Ashley constructs her sentences and weaves words together is so beautiful and eloquent. Highly recommend!
