Can this Love sustain the ride?

Niya 2: Dreamer’s Paradise

Love: - A decision to put the needs of another before your own.
Friendship: - An enjoyable bond with another with some common interest(s).
Infatuation: - Temporary chemical reaction to another.

In this second book of the Dreamer’s series, Niya and Jamilla pick back up where they left off in part one.  Both Niya and Jamilla are still living in their tortured existence. 

Niya feels an insatiable love for Jamilla but believes the love is unrequited.  Niya is an explosion of emotions, when she loves, she gives you 100% of her heart.  Of all the girls she loved, for her Jamilla is the ONE…maybe.  Niya has a tendency to love those as damaged as she is, with the exception of Roxie in book one.  Smiley, Marlo, Jamilla and even Brazil are all broken women seeking an escape from the torment of their lives.  And Niya has the propensity to save them, which in doing so she hopes to save herself as well.   In this book Niya’s volatile emotions explode on the page, scene after scene.  In the beginning chapters, we get a glimpse of her relationship with her mother.  It gives more insight to whom she is because of where she’s come from.  Niya has the strength of her Grandmother to triumph through adversity, but she must be willing to accept the changes to come. 

Jamilla, remains confused and unsure about her true feelings for Niya.  Coming from an environment where the duality of love and hate are blurred nearly beyond repair, Jamilla doesn’t realize the mixed message she has been sending Niya throughout their friendship.  During the course of this book, Jamilla becomes closer to Niya mentally, physically and almost intimately.  During many moments in a chemically induced state, Jamilla and Niya share intimacies that borderline the affections given to your significant other.  Yet when put in everyday normal occurrences Jamilla reminds Niya she is not gay.  Their confused relationship/friendship causes a strain and sends both of them into the arms of another. 

In this segment, the author takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.  Her words through the experiences of Niya and Jamilla causes you to look at your relationships and love in the purest form.  Dreamer’s Paradise is a well-crafted saga that explores the journey to love and how circumstances and experiences can unite two people in that journey together.  Will Niya and Jamilla find their Happily Ever After?  Or will Niya realize that having unconditional love in her friendship with Jamilla is more important than the intimacy she longs to share. 

This is definitely a 5-star read and one I am more than happy to share with others.
