From the Author

I'm starting to think that when I write freely (without deadline) my best work is produced, I had a possible date to be done in my head but when life happens...deadlines go out of the window.Yara means small butterfly. And it goes perfect with the  story because she truly grows from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.And I didn't know this when I chose the name for her, and actually, I was going to change her name to something else because I read Takerra's Allen last book and she had a character named Yael, and I was like oh no, this is too close to Yara but I was already in love with the idea of Yara and Kadeem and decided to keep it.  I love her name so much that all of the promo is basically her name in bold letters.YARA MORELAND.She's of mixed heritage, only child, born to parents who weren't prepared to be parents, the relationship that she has with her parents is not much to discuss so don't expect a big backstory on her childhood.I thoroughly enjoyed writing this story and while I am happy to have reached the End so that you can read it soon, I'm like is there more? Do I have more to share? I'm interested in writing a spin-off on her daughters, Yara is the proud mother to Yanise, Meme and Ayanna and I think I fell in love with the daughters because I don't really go into detail much when my characters have children. I either kill them or don't shed light on them and I truly believe that my heart has changed when it comes to children because my boyfriend has kids that I super duper adore! The relationship that a person has with their children is so important, it molds them in a way.Is She The Reason is a full-length standalone.She was a broken woman who had placed all of her eggs into one basket, which is what we do when we're madly in love and we are under the impression that the love is mutual.But what do we do when our lives are turned upside  down without a clue or warning?Yara was left without a choice but to get her life together and start over.She did it though.She persevered and that's what makes me so proud of this beautiful story.It's action but not drama filled, it's love, it's strength, it's the truth, it's integrity.I touched on so many real issues that you're going to be forced to have a serious conversation with yourself once you're done and at the same time, it's an enjoyable read that I hope you love!In this book, I wanted to challenge you to read beyond the pages of your Kindle.This is more than another story. It's my goal that in 2018, I am able to connect with you, the woman, the mother, the daughter, the friend, the dreamer, the doer...the person.YARA drops real soon...Leave a review and let me know if you enjoyed it.Until the next book.Nako

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My love for the art of writing will never die. I write books under the pen name NAKO and I have been recognized as a National Bestselling Author of 70+ books centered around women, love, and purpose. By weaving urban fairytales with self-help, I encourage readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Continually embracing the diversity of life, I use my personal experiences from traveling to enjoying conversations with women of color and power to expand my own mental. This motivates me to share these unique dissections of various topics, concerns raised on certain issues, as well as peeks into my life through my blog and podcast, The Passport where stamps of purpose, success and power are given to readers and listeners.

As a blogger and lifestyle influencer, I believe in the power of transparency, originality, and engagement. And in order to change the world one book at a time, I lend my gift by teaching fellow wordsmiths how to become 6-figure authors.

Whenever I am not writing or blogging; I enjoy cooking, entertaining family and friends, solving puzzles, traveling, and being on Pinterest. Nakoexpo.com is more than a site that hubs my novels, it’s where stamps can be picked up. Life is a passport. What will yours be filled with?

An Emotional Journey Through "Is She The Reason"
Prepare to be taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions in this gripping tale. Kadeem Moreland is a character that will leave you seething, from page 1 all the way to 525. His cunning and narcissistic personality draws a web of secrets, lies, betrayal, and abandonment that nobody dares to break out of character for, much to the detriment of the true victim, Yara Moreland.

Yara's story is heart-wrenching; the revelations and humiliations she faced for a decade are enough to make anyone cry. But her resilience and unwavering determination to start over are nothing short of heroic bravery.

The side characters' struggles add to the weight of the story, highlighting the dangerous paths that life can take when one is lost and searching for something.

"Is She The Reason" is a powerful depiction of strength, heartbreak, and determination. The character development, storyline, and portrayal are top-notch. This book will keep you engaged throughout, and leave your emotions on high. Nako's writing is an absolute chef’s kiss must-read and deserves all the stars the app can give.

5 Star recommendation!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars a mixture of romance and drama but a good book
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023

I’m not your basic happily ever after reader, I could care less about the romance but I did enjoy reading this book. The storyline was different and interested even though it is on the borderline of romance and drama. Author did a great character development for each of her characters. I can’t believe Kadeem went out like that but he was a live wire, but yet I understood. What I didn’t understand was his relationship with crazy woman Kamala. They did Yara so wrong, she knew Kadeem was married. My heart went out to Ayanna for experiencing such devastation. I loved me some Yanise and Amina, they stuck by their mom. I felt sorry for Charlie, she lost in the end and Riq got what he deserved, I’m glad Meme kicked him to the curve. My favorite character of all was Quentin Brooks, Captain save a Queen, we women wish we could find one like him, wonderful man, who loved him some Yara. Now, please do tell what the story with the kidnapped son and was his name Aiden or baby KJ? I got kind of confused. Ok, author you did your thang.

5.0 out of 5 stars ‘I Gave You 2 Much…Enough is Enough…Now We’re In The Thick Of It…’
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018

Kadeem and Yara Moreland were once viewed as a power couple in their hood, until the doors to their lavish lifestyle was kicked down and their children whisked away along with their freedom which was summoned by the justice system. Their Bonnie & Clyde fiasco came to an inevitable end yet they pledged their undying love and allegiance to each other, both determined to stay true to the game and their incomparable love despite the years they faced for their capers. Ten long years later, the portrait isn’t as vivid as the original script was read, while Yara is preparing to be reunited with her forever love, and her now grown and teen-aged daughters, Kadeem is scrambling for ways to reveal the truth, the entire truth and nothing but the truth. Kadeem has a whole fiancé in the likes of Kamala Crawford that he has to explain to his wife, not to mention the disclosure that he’s been living in the free world for years, and has manipulated his entire family to keep his secret and feed his incarcerated wife fabricated lies. Whew!!! If that ain’t a mouth-full.

So what is a woman that loved her man beyond comprehension to do when she’s slapped in the face with horrible memories that she withstood because of her devotion to one man, that wasn’t even man enough to stand by her side? What is a convicted felon to do when all who she loved, her memories and dreams of them empowered her and kept her focused for those ten miserable years wear a coat of many colors and the loudest color is blatant betrayal? Does she sacrifice her freedom in an act of scornful revenge and comeuppance? How does she pick up the pieces of all that she gave away for this foolishness called love? Where does she go, who can she run to, who can she even trust when her family members are sealed with treachery that she didn’t deserve? Is there such a thing as redemption for someone that has had so much dirt thrown on them, that the mud has become a slimey secondary skin?

Is She The Reason is an extraordinary read that shines a blinding spotlight on overwhelming heartbreak, earth-shattering betrayal, unfathomable strength, divine wisdom, and the most in-depth development of love that I’ve witnessed in quite awhile. Is She The Reason is so riveting and so poignant, that I constantly found myself breathless as I tried to commandeer my emotions. This is my very first Nako read and I must say, impressed can not convey what I think of her. Despite a few hiccups, I must say that I felt like she is most deserving of no less than 5 *****. The length of the book…magnificente! The depth of the read and the development of characters….incredible!!! A Standalone Read…excellente!!!! I read this on Kindle Unlimited, but this is a classic read…so I had to give her my coins!! She deserved every penn-tye, ya heard!!! Brilliancy at its finest!!!

This was a very well written story, but it was SO heavy. It had damn near every trigger there is, plus extreme betrayal and heartbreak.

This is one of those books that’ll stick with you because of its emotional, and frankly, disturbing content, but it’s a good read…one time. I can’t see myself ever reading this one again. Way too depressing.

I loved reading this book. It offered spiritual, self-help, and mental emotional motivation and encouragement. To see how yara went from being in prison, and losing her family to being on top of the world of the music Industry. She went from someone who she loved with everything betraying her trust and loyalty to a man who loved her with everything in him and showed her and her daughters what real love was. I want to say so much more about this however it would ruin the book for everyone no I know it won't. Pick up this read today, you won't be disappointed.

OMG!! This story was so awesome!!! From the start to the end. I could hardly put it down. The fact that she loved the man so much to think about him first and than herself and her children was a big mistake, love can make you blind especially when you’re that young and alone. Everything happens for a reason, she went true hell but came out a winner and stronger. Chapeau!
