Summary
“One of the biggest names in urban-fiction。” - Red Carpet Crash on Butterfly
The hardest thing Morgan Atkins has ever done is let go of love。 After losing Messiah， she never thought she’d find someone who understood her again。 Until she reunited with Ahmeek Harris and their friendship quickly transformed into something deeper， but there was one problem。。。 she was engaged to a man she didn’t love and he’s holding a deadly secret over her head。 If that wasn’t enough， her long lost love Messiah returned to claim her as his own。
Three men plus one woman equals inevitable heartbreak。 Morgan wants to follow her heart and take the risk of a lifetime， but she risks destroying her family in the process。
Will Morgan enter a loveless marriage？ Or will Messiah and Ahmeek fix their brotherhood and work together to save the woman they both love？

One woman must choose between the three men in Antoinette’s angsty and emotionally charged third Butterfly novel （after Butterfly 2）。 Morgan Atkins found love for the first time with volatile gangster Messiah Williams， but after he disappeared， she fell into a loveless engagement with the respectable but controlling Sebastian Fredrick， while creeping around on the side with Ahmeek Harris， Messiah’s street soldier and friend who taught her a gentler kind of love。 Two years later， Messiah’s back and he’s staking a claim on Morgan’s heart。 Messiah’s presence turns Morgan’s life upside down and she questions the connections she’s built with the other two men—but she’s hiding a secret from Messiah that threatens to stop their romantic rekindling before it can start: she never told him about their twins， born after Messiah disappeared。 Dancing between her obligations to her pending marriage with Sebastian， the love she feels for Ahmeek， and her passionate desire to be with Messiah， Morgan must make a series of difficult decisions that affect both her and her makeshift family。 Antoinette masterfully weaves a gritty， streetwise tale sure to captivate readers of urban fiction。 （Dec。）

I love Ashley， & her work but this is ran on！ For one women are are not indecisive like Morgan， this back and forth between 2。5 men for 18 chapters is ridiculous; it made my head hurt。 Then Morgan cowards down， like where is your backbone like Alani？ She had more then enough chances to tell Ethic （a powerful man） what was wrong but was scared of Bash weak behind。 Then Bella & Hendrix。。。 I personally don’t like to read about teenagers kissing & touching like grown folk。 （I’ll leave it as that）。 BUT Morgan needs to develop a spine。。 the book sounds like she’s leaning towards suicide again。 Guess we have to wait until book 4？！！

I highly anticipated the release of this book。 So much so I went back and listened to books 1and 2 before opening my pre-ordered book 3。 I enjoyed 2 so much that it became my go to book 。 I did not expect so much fluff （whining） from Mo。 Nor， did I expect it to be so long and drawn。 With that being said I instantly became a huge fan of Mrs。 Ashley Antoinette。 I have listened and or read majority of written work。 My expectations as with others of her writing skill wasn't （my opinion） was not met I highly anticipated the release of this book。 So much so I went back and listened to books 1and 2 before opening my pre-ordered book 3。 I enjoyed 2 so much that it became my go to book 。 I did not expect so much fluff （whining） from Mo。 Nor， did I expect it to be so long and drawn。 With that being said I instantly became a huge fan of Mrs。 Ashley Antoinette。 I have listened and or read majority of written work。 My expectations as with others of her writing skill wasn't （my opinion） was not met here。I feel as though she gave us a pacifier with this book。 Pretty much like she did with the Ethic series。 It is my opinion that the Butterfly series can be long lasting because the characters in this book can each be a book of it's own with a small sneak peek segment of all the other characters here and there。 Overall the ending was interesting and a dead give a way that a book 4 was to come。 We'll see Read the book it's good。 。。。more

Im not sure Im ready for this story to be drug through six series but I must say this 3 installment was real good。 I love how Henny is growing up on us。 What I didnt like is how Bleu and her feelings/miscarriage （not sure because all it says is she had to bury a baby） isnt taken into consideration from anyone except Iman。 Messiah gone always be my Favorite but Meek in this book stole a piece of my heart when he went to Ssiah after learning about the kids。 Bash and his family are evil well him I’m not sure I’m ready for this story to be drug through six series but I must say this 3 installment was real good。 I love how Henny is growing up on us。 What I didn’t like is how Bleu and her feelings/miscarriage （not sure because all it says is she had to bury a baby） isn’t taken into consideration from anyone except Iman。 Messiah gone always be my Favorite but Meek in this book stole a piece of my heart when he went to Ssiah after learning about the kids。 Bash and his family are evil well him and his Momma are evil。 And I know The Fredricks have pull but I really pray Ethic’s reach is far longer than theirs is。 Now the wait for book 4。 。。。more

DAMN！！There are so many patterns， so much hurt， so many lies， secrets， and not much accountability from the ones who should be held accountable。 Ashley has did her thing again this series is a build up of growth and purpose。 Sometimes you have to carry the curse of the love ones before you unknowingly until you figure out all your familys past and break the curse。 Keep fighting Mo DAMN！！There are so many patterns， so much hurt， so many lies， secrets， and not much accountability from the ones who should be held accountable。 Ashley has did her thing again this series is a build up of growth and purpose。 Sometimes you have to carry the curse of the love ones before you unknowingly until you figure out all your family’s past and break the curse。 Keep fighting Mo 。。。more

So far this is my favorite of the series。 The entire series。 Ethic included。 Bc Morgan used to work my nerves but each book i grow to like her more and more。 She really is stuck between a rock and a hard place。 Shoot my heart hurts for her。 Now if y'all have read any of my previous reviews y'all know I don't care for Messiah。 Not since the 1st utterance of his name。 I just never felt like he was the 1 for Morgan。 He has a lot of work to do on himself before he can give himself to anybody whether So far this is my favorite of the series。 The entire series。 Ethic included。 Bc Morgan used to work my nerves but each book i grow to like her more and more。 She really is stuck between a rock and a hard place。 Shoot my heart hurts for her。 Now if y'all have read any of my previous reviews y'all know I don't care for Messiah。 Not since the 1st utterance of his name。 I just never felt like he was the 1 for Morgan。 He has a lot of work to do on himself before he can give himself to anybody whether it's Morgan， Bleu， Messari or Yara bc he don't love them。 They are things。 Ornaments。 Trophies。 Possessions。 Even with his weird aversion to men bc of what happened to him as a child， the only ppl he truly seems to love are Ethic （even as flawed as their relationship was on his part）， Isa and Ahmeek。 Bc if you pay attention to his relationship with Bleu， it's similar to his relationship with Morgan。 It's possessive。 Controlling。 He wants to be their everything when only giving half of him。 He strings both of them along and doesn't even realize it。 Yes， Bleu is his friend but they've crossed the line and made a baby out of the love they share。 And feelings are there if only on her part。 And for him to be mad at Morgan for not telling him about the twins had me screaming at my book & rolling my eyes。 Like bruhhhhhh！！！！ She thought you were dead！！！ Everybody she knew who would've had contact with him （Bleu， Isa & Meek） thought he was dead too so how would she have told him？？？ And when is he gonna tell her about lil Messiah Williams II？ That is going to kill her like it killed him to think of her with Bash and Meek。 And Meek。。。。he is too good for Morgan。 Now I will say I was a little disappointed how easy he was able to just "quit" Morgan。 I totally understand why but I wanted him to fight a little harder & seemed like she did too。 Idk。 I also appreciate that there were glimmers of some sort of remorse or sympathy for what Morgan， Bleu and Livi all felt at the hands of Messiah and Ahmeek。 Because Livi seems to really care for Ahmeek and he just discards her feelings because all he could see was Morgan。 And Messiah did the same multiple time with Morgan and Bleu。 When he has nobody he runs to Bleu。 She's his safety blanket。 And I don't like that she let's him continually ruin her relationship with Iman。 Iman doesn't deserve that。 He's always been so good to Bleu。 But Messiah is still so selfish that all he can worry about is how ppl responded to him being back。 They all had mentally buried him so I can imagine it was a shock to their systems。 Life went on and he expected them to stop and fall back into position。 He real have me drive like a mf。 But I really liked this book the most。 It took me a whole day to write this review and I still feel scatter brained and all over the place。 Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnndddddd when is Alani gonna have that baby？？？？ She was pregnant last Christmas and it's fall/winter time at the ending of this book bc it's snowing。 I had hoped she would've had the baby since her baby shower was in May or even B2 but she's been pregnant through 5 books （CWTO， B🦋， THE INVITATION， B🦋🦋 and now B🦋🦋🦋）。 。。。more

This was a good read and this book will have you experiencing so many different emotions。 In this book I was mad at all the characters at some point especially Morgan。 But I tell you I love me some Messari。 Mo should have told what Bash was doing to her because in the end she is still hurting people by holding on to secrets。 I look forward to reading the next book in the series。

This book was good but way too much back and forth。 Messiah and Morgan has way too many secrets sooner or later they need to reveal some of them and not to hurt each other but to grow。 No one see Morgan pain she is Raven in the making。 Bleu needs to move on and try to be happy for once in her life。 Bash has too much control。 The twins made this book better。 All the adults are confessed。 Hopefully part 4 resolve at least one of their issues。

Ash u aint have to us like this girl！ This book here touched my soul。 When I say I didnt know what to feel， emotions were all over the place。 This had me sitting at home thinking about my life looking at my relationship and my kids。 There were so many times I relisten to some of the chapters cause I was in awe。 I would get mad， then I would feel bad， then I would get excited and bust out laughing I mean my face was hurting from all the facial expressions I was making。 Ash u are the best as I Ash u ain’t have to us like this girl！ This book here touched my soul。 When I say I didn’t know what to feel， emotions were all over the place。 This had me sitting at home thinking about my life looking at my relationship and my kids。 There were so many times I relisten to some of the chapters cause I was in awe。 I would get mad， then I would feel bad， then I would get excited and bust out laughing I mean my face was hurting from all the facial expressions I was making。 Ash u are the best as I cant wait to discuss wit all my cousins soon ASH ARMY gone be lit🔥🔥🔥And I know you need a break but in the mean time please keep our story times coming just to keep us chilled❤️❤️❤️❤️ 。。。more

Slow start and a let downI'm a huge fan of Ashley Antoinette， I don't feel like this is her best work。 This is mostly a repeat of the same ultimate dilemma that Morgan Atkins has been grappling with since Butterfly 1。 Still looking forward to see what happens next and hoping to see some character growth。

OMGGGGGTHIS BOOK！！！ Ashley did it again。 I fell in love with every single character 10x more。 I cannot wait to see how everything folds out in B4

Wtf was this？ This book was a money grabbing filler book of completely useless dialogue。 This book tries very hard to portray Morgan as being all deep with her feelings and the confused damsel in distress， but it's not working。 The whole book in a nutshell is， I love Meek， I love Messiah， but meek makes me feel。。。 No Messiah makes me feel。。。 （bitch I don't care anymore）。 If you are looking for a plot Keep Looking because it's not here。 Nothing Happens and I do mean Nothing！

I really appreciated the update on all things Mo， Meek， Messiah， Aria， and Isa。 The book was filled with some great moments from Messari and Yara but I just fell like it was a little drawn out。 The most important things didnt really happen until the last 3 chapters。 I absolutely love Ashley Antionette and her books but I just knew there would be more。 I still cant wait until book 4 because I trust Ashleys pen game。 I just couldnt give it the 5 stars I hoped it would earn。 I really appreciated the update on all things Mo， Meek， Messiah， Aria， and Isa。 The book was filled with some great moments from Messari and Yara but I just fell like it was a little drawn out。 The most important things didn’t really happen until the last 3 chapters。 I absolutely love Ashley Antionette and her books but I just knew there would be more。 I still can’t wait until book 4 because I trust Ashley’s pen game。 I just couldn’t give it the 5 stars I hoped it would earn。 。。。more
