This book was just what I needed! Wrapped Up in His Rugged Ways was a fast paced story about a rapper, Jrue, and a social media influencer, Xiomara, and their journey to a happily ever after. I enjoyed every bit of it and when I finished I felt like I had been on a rollercoaster- but I didn’t want it to end!! The story, as a whole, was so good, like a movie playing out on page. Tay outdid herself with this book and it is a must read.
I loved the chemistry between Jrue and Xiomara; it was instantaneous, believable and oozed from the pages. Sometimes characters just fit together and that’s how it was with them. They matched each other’s energy and both understood the music and entertainment industry. What I liked the most about this book was Xio’s character; she was about her business, her money, and school- but when she clapped back it was always warranted. Jrue has a bad boy persona but he was a great father and a big teddy bear. When Xio said she wanted Jrue in her skin, I totally understood because he was truly everything. 🫠🙃
I thought the side characters brought a balance and depth to the story. I am here for any and all slander towards Sutton- like all of it, because she was horrible. The journey to HEA wasn’t perfect but there was never a doubt in my mind that Jrue and Xio wouldn’t make it. They were literally created for each other. Oh, so good!!

Sweet!
Jrue and Xiomara really grew on me.
I always like reading about the men that really don't play about their women and Jrue was that from the very beginning.
I loved seeing the evolution of their relationship and family dynamics. I wonder what's up with those twins though?

JruMara
Jrue Baldwin is rapper working on his Debut Album. While out with his boys he spots a beauty that he would love to have in his video and approaches her. Xiomara Baldwin is a social media influencer, who is in college working towards getting her degree. While out at the club, she meets an up and coming rapper and the attraction between the two is evident. The physical attraction is clear so they decide to make a night of it. The only thing is one night isn’t truly that because they can’t help themselves whenever the other is around.
The was a great read. I absolutely loved Jrue. He never lost sight of the fact he was a father and made sure to carve out quality with his son. Their interaction in the story is so cute. It’s what I love to see. When it came to Xiomara, he knew what he wanted and went after it. The connection between was so pure. They couldn’t help but fall for each other. Although Jrue falls first, Xiomara was not far behind because of his caring ways.
Xiomara and Jrue’s siblings had me a little intrigued about their lives too. Secrets, dating drama and babies you know I was here for it all. I really disliked Sutton because she was so delulu. So worried about a man that her son wasn’t even important to her. The one character that got me wanting a little more is Xiomara’s bodyguard Ace. Too many of the ladies mentioned he was fine and protective so I’m intrigued (🗣️whispers bodyguard romance to Tay Mo’nae🫣)

Jrue and Ximora were so perfect for each other. At the beginning of the book I didn’t know if I’d like jrue. He changed my view of him as the story went on but his baby mama …. Geesshhh she was a lot and I commend Ximora for how she handled her and the other drama that arose. Ximora gave powerful, confident, secure woman vibes and i loved every bit of it. She showed that you can be in the spotlight and still be private.

I liked it after all
When I first began reading this book I wasn’t sure I’d finish it. All the ass shaking and twerking in the beginning and their behavior had me thinking I was about to read about a bunch of rachet females who only date dudes for money. Nothing wrong with that if that’s your thing but it’s not my cup of tea. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Xiomara was the very opposite of what I thought. While she was about her money she was also smart and kind and didn’t do drama. Jrue was also a p,easing surprise he had a soft side that only arm could bring to the surface. Their chemistry could be felt throughout the story. There were some things going on with the sub characters i.e her sisters and some members of his crew that makes me think this isn’t the last we’ll see of these two and if that’s the case I’ll definitely be here for it. I don’t remember if I’ve read other books by this author but if they are as good as this one I’d definitely be up for checking out her catalog.

🎤 Rapper & SM Influencer
🎤 Step Mommy Season
🎤 2 for 1 Girl Gang & Guy Gang
I adored Jrue in daddy mode. Even with his status he made sure he took his son for haircuts, wasn’t working in his birthday. He protected his seed first and I respect it. I enjoyed his whole family especially his mama. She was not playing about her baby boy and every time she side eyes Xiomara I cackled!
Xiomara was a bad boss 🐝 I loved her energy from start to finish. Loved her bond with her sisters and Jrue’s. Loved how she loved and honored her brother. The connection between her brother and Jrue was *chef’s kiss* Xiomara was about her business, definitely had don’t play with her attitude but still seemed like she’d be down to earth and cool to chill with.
Xiomara and Jrue were a match made in spicy (real spicy) hood heaven! They give you meant to be vibes with a healthy dose of drama. You’ll love the whole gang from the main characters to supporting!

Xiomara and Jrue
This book was amazing!! Tae you never disappoint!! I didn't want it to be over. Hoping somewhere in the future we will get an update on how Xiomara and Jrue are doing.
Xiomara was a social media influencer with a heavy following. Many loved her but few hated on her. Jrue was an upcoming rapper about to take off in his career. Running into Xiomara at a club was the best thing that ever happened for him. They linked up for one of his music videos and the rest was history. There were a few trials that stood in the way. Xiomara had not been in a relationship in a very long time after having her heart broken many years ago. Jrue just didn't know who to trust when it came to women. Many were just after the fame he was gaining. He realized Xiomara was different. She wasn't impressed by what he had and what he could give her. She had her own money and was very independent. She was genuine and like him for who he was as a person.

Loved It🥰😍
This was really a good book. I like how Jrue and Xiomara just were a vibe together. They both were really laid back so they didn’t have any drama with each other but outside people kept up plenty trying to tear them apart. Sutton was just delusional and it was like she said if she can’t have Jrue then she didn’t want Omari. I like the relationship that Xiomara and Omari had because she became a mother figure to him. I don’t feel bad about what happened to Whitley because she should’ve been at home resting instead of being out doing the most towards Jrue because he ghosted her. I know this book was about Jrue and Xiomara but I wanted to know who Kinsley was pregnant by even though I suspect that it’s Chance and what happened with Kayleigh and her married baby daddy. I feel like Kinsley and Kayleigh going to have a book together coming out soon. ANDDDDDDDDDDD like we wanted to know Jrue and Xiomara’s baby gender😩😩🤣🤣

I saw someone on IG comment that Tay Mo’nae writes celebrity romances well… and I strongly agree. My first read from her was Drunk in Love. To this day it remains my favorite of her work and her catalog is good.
Now Jrue and Xiomara are competing for that top spot. As for now Kdon and N’yasia is holding the crown.
But I really enjoyed this one. It was not as heavy on drama as some of her other reads and I appreciated that. Sutton was a mess, but it didn’t take over the storyline. I love a strong FMC and we have that with Xiomara.
Now I want the tea on the secrets with the secondary characters. Were Kinsleigh and Chance a thing? I’m not feeling the other twin Kaysleigh… she’s too childish. Either way if Tay drops a few more interconnected standalones, I’m here for it. She definitely left the door open for anything to happen with the other characters.

They got together in the most unconventional way but it turned out to be so beautiful. I loved how Xiomara brought out a side to Jrue that no one else could. I love how she didn’t feed into the negativity or BS from his BM. The fact that he cut all his hoes off for her even before then became official was dope. It was her being the woman he didn’t know he wanted or needed and I loved that sis was bout her paper, school, and business (snaps yasssss). Such a good read. I’m galas Sutton got her a** beat cause she was doing the most and she played herself thinking Jrue was gonna also deal with her foolishness. Y’all go read Mara and Jrue story, it ain’t disappoint.

🥰🥰🥰
I just loved these characters!! I need more from the twins and Ms. Bestie. Jrue’s and Xiomara momma’s was doing the most to the tenth power! I said they husband’s has to be chill at all times just to deal with them heck. I truly don’t want to go into too much detail about the story, because it was truly 10/10 read to me.
Jrue literally was the man in every aspect of the meaning of being The Man!! This story make you want to write down what you looking for in your husband😆! They equally loved each other and wanted to make sure the other felt how they felt towards the other. Great read!!

Celebrity Love!!
Xiomara is model, a college student who is working towards a degree,a social media influencers didn't both any one some called her gold digger talked about her body count. She got much hate because she was in Jrue's video. He got much hate from his bitter baby mama and her followers and the lies she told. You would think that he couldn't have guidance, but he did he was just out there. He got shot got in trouble then he started taking rap seriously. Their chemistry is hot. Omari felt close to Xiomara because she actually spent time with him. Sutton actually cared for him but didn't love him as a mother should. Kinsley is the more sensible twin. Kayleigh is the more childish twin with no sense of direction. Jamir is his accountant and his sister Jream is Xiomara personal assistant,Chance is his homeboy. His is giving Xiomara the side eye because she thinks she's trying to take advantage of him. I don't think Jrue is the father of Whitley baby. Malaya is physical therapist assistant and Xiomara bestie and they didn't play about their money. I love Xiomara for Jrue because she showed him a different way of looking at the world.

I loved Jrue and Xiomara! 🥰 I was literally smiling and kicking my feet reading them. The way a rapper and influencer was written so perfectly, you’d think Tay had inside information on both lol. It made this book so much more realistic. I could visualize everything so perfectly which gave me a better reading experience. I can’t lie, Jrue and Xiomara chemistry was chemistry’ing from their first meet and I was eating it up! Xiomara is definitely one of my favorite female characters. I loved me some Jrue as well. He was a great father. When it came to Xiomara he brung that energy! He was that MAN. Simple! The book was everything!

Beautiful Love ❤️
Beautiful is the only way to describe this book. It was simply a beautiful love story. I absolutely loved these two and found myself smiling throughout their journey.
Xiomara was a boss chick fr she was about her business.
Jrue was that 🥷 the biggest ENERGY. That man applied pressure like no other. He made it clear he wasn’t gone play about “mama”.
Sutton was trash and a walking embarrassment.
This author is for sure one of my top 5 but I promise this review is not bias. The book is amazing and if you’re reading this just know you will not be disappointed.

Loved this ❤️
This was a great read. I loved how everything flowed and came together. Xiomara and Jrue were definitely made for each other. She was so calm, cool and collected, she never let the pettiness of social media get to her. Jrue couldn’t have picked the worst baby mama ever. Omari was the greatest kid but his wasn’t missing out on any love his way. Through all the bs and drama, they stayed strong and came out better in the end. Tay you never disappoint and can’t wait to see what you cook up next.

Wrapped Up
I was completely wrapped up in both Xiomara and Jrue. I loved their lives individually but when they came together it was even better. Both of them had interesting back grounds and entertaining lives. It was refreshing that they brought very little drama to each other in spite of the surrounding drama. Great read! I would love to read more about the siblings on both sides!

So good!
I enjoyed Jrue and Xiomara's story! From the beginning, they had so much chemistry that intensified as the story went on. I loved seeing Kazier and Ny'asia in this story! I don't know if Author Tay Mo'nae will be bringing these characters back but I definitely feel like there were some unresolved issues with Xiomara's sisters. Chance also seemed to be hiding something as well. Overall, this story was complete and I enjoyed it!

Jrue and Xiomara
This story was fire. Jrue was a hot rapper whose career was taking off. Xiomara was a social media influencer who had millions of followers. When these two meet, there is instant attraction between them. Jrue thought that Xiomara was just another social media groupie, and Xiomara thought that Jrue was just a player. Love how these who grew together and slowly fell in love with each other. Now I am waiting on the spin-off between Chance and Kinsley

Loved it!!!❤❤
Jrue was definitely bae 😘 and he couldn't get enough of Xiomara. Xi was about her business and had her head on straight. Sutton was annoying and insane😡 . Add Whitney to the crazy trick crew. Her shenigans caused her a great loss. Both sets of meeting the parents were interesting. Xi's sisters were into some messy mess, especially Kayleigh. She got on my nerves😡 Loved the couple ❤ and the story. Definitely⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

I thought we would kind of hear more about Xiomara siblings like her sister getting the abortion and her baby daddy. It’s like part of their stories were mentioned and then nothing else. Jrue had the babymomma from hell. All she wanted to do was live off Jrue money. I’m glad Xiomara had her own money and was used to fame because people assumed she just was after Jrue money. I was glad that she ended up pregnant.

One word: loved! I love seeing black love and this couple is such a good example of it. Everything isn’t perfect and they have their up and downs but overall they just love each other. The male mc has so much love for the mc. it was such a beautiful book to read. The book does have some spice and you can really see the couple love each other. But the way they just match is just different. i would definitely recommend you read this book!

So Good!!!
I couldn’t put this book down! Young love and finding yourself can be exciting and weird Xiomara and Jrue…whew! It was a lot. Jrue played too much and wasn’t worried about what others said but he was definitely down for those he loved and didn’t play about them! Xiomara was about her business and didn’t have time for games! One thing they learned…haters are gone be haters! However they continued to press on.
I need an update!

Xiomara is her!!!
Ms. Tay is definitely one of my favorite authors and this book just continues shows her talent. Xiomara was the definition of a young beauty with brains!! The queen of Unbothered. Jrue was a hot rapper who knew a good woman when he saw one. These two moved at the beat of there own drum and was Unapologetically them.

Jrue and Xiomara
I really enjoyed this story. Two independent people doing well in their own right, come together and add to one another. I loved how Jrue applied just the right amount of pressure to Xiomara. Xiomara sisters worked my last nerve to no end. I hope we get a follow up novella.

cuteeeeee
Tay never fails me. This book was sexy and cute. Jrue knew he want Xirmora the moment he laid eyes on her. He didn’t let up until he got what he wanted. Their energy was cute. I feel like there’s going to be a spin off because something weren’t resolved or fully expounded on. I look forward to more Tay.

Loved It
The relationships in this book was so organic! I loved the family dynamics, there wasn't too much dysfunction, but the mother's on both sides were a bit much for different reasons! Jrue was serious about Xiomara and she was serious about him! I lived how they handle situations that could have easily broken them up! I hope to see more of them in the future!

Oh my goodness this book was so good, you never know when love is going to jump on you and these two found out. I loved how Xiomara didn't let what people say about her she did her thing and made her own paper, Jrue needed someone like her to tone him down and he stepped up and took his son and showed him how true love works
