Waste of my time
I refuse to bother with the fourth. I cannot believe I lasted through three. I was hoping at some point some good would happen I guess. This is nothing more than highly sexually active females who called themselves friends being anything but. I have grown weary of authors stretching out storylines that can quickly be resolved. She repeated the SAME THING in all three books, friends sleeping with friends men. A total waste of my time. First time reading this author, not impressed.

Part three of The Ultimate Series brings back the classic characters that started it all. The Ultimate No No had me LOL and SMH, then came The Ultimate Moment No Regrets had me guessing and saying WTH were these people thinking.....now the last book The Ultimate Question: Will Love Ever Know Me(which is my favorite) of The Ultimate Series. I can see the growth of Ms. Newhouse writing skills as well as the characters in the stories. These stories are about people not being able to move on. Which is the key to most of the drama and confusion that goes on in Will Love Ever Know Me. This story kept me wanting to know more because there were so many secrets to be revealed. I liked how the author tied some of the story-line with events that most of us would never have stopped to think of. So from the looks of things this will NOT be the end... Joyclyn (the little trap) will get her story soon...So if you decide to read this series please read all three books eventhough this one can stand alone....You would DEFINITELY want the full EFFECT by reading all three....

Circus of Stereotypes
This was sad on so many levels. The editorial errors were unforgivable and the grammatical errors are evidence that this was just slapped together. If I thought the last book was a bit unsettling, these college kids are now weak, indecisive adults with kids of their own and still out of line with childlike uncontrollable desires. Jazz n Max are the only ones with any respect. Despite their professional success they struggle with having their cake and eating yours too.... *blank stare* and they still fight and chase each other back -stabbing, lying, cheating, and the list goes on. This made me know why I never had many female friends. They all seem to bring out the worst in each other. I don't know how they kept fighting and no one ever went to jail; or how they kept sleeping around and no one ever got killed. I had to feel bad for Michael. He and Troy became comical after a certain point. At least, he had the sense to look out for himself.

The Ultimate Question ( Will Love Ever Know Me) Tamika Newhouse
The 3rd book to the Ultimate Series
Nitrah , Jazzaray , Charmaine and Dahlia are still up to their old tricks,
Nitrah is still trying to play games between Denim and Troy, she still can't decide.
Jazzaray has finally gotten her life on track and met a Great guy.
Dahlia is still trying to find the perfect man to love her.
Charmaine has few skeletons in her closet and you'll be surprise what she has been up to when her secrets comes to light.
I gave this book 4 because I felt like the characters were just going in circles, how many times can you keep forgiving someone for doing you wrong? Story started to get boring to me toward the middle and picked back up at the end.

Wow my head was spinning with all the twists and turns and how everyone was sleeping with everyone's man and best friends. Whew I don't need friends like that. I enjoyed the 3rd and I believe final book in the series but I am a hopeless romantic so I was hoping that the question will love ever know me would be answered for all of the characters in this book.

This series just keeps better and better. I could not believe the major twist is this one, but in the end I couldn't be more happy for Nitrah. I really enjoyed all the violence at the end and to be honest I would have done the same thing LOL. :)

This is my favorite out of all 3 of the book in the Ultimate No No Series. Read it in 12 hours. Would have been faster if I didn't have to be a wife and mother throughout the day. Really good stuff.
