This book was really good. It was horrifying but yet a page turner. Well, tell you get to the men chapters n then I had to stop. They were slow dragged out stories that did not keep up to tempo like the women. really I don't get into male authors, nut I did give the male author in this book a try. And like always they disappointed me. This is just my opinon. I can't stand when men wrote stories about women, and try to tell it from a women view. Once again, men dint understand women. So male writers should just to writing stories from their point of view. Three stars for women stories. The other two stories written by male author lack stars.

Overall, it was a good read. I favored some authors over others yet overall, it was a solid compilation. I enjoyed the read.

Ashley & JaQuavis sure know how to pick them! Some of the stories were definitely better than the others, I'd have to say "Take it to the Grave" was definitely my favorite. The rest of the stories were okay, but they weren't as memorable as that one. However, each story could have easily been made into a full book on their own. I have never read anything by the authors presented in this book and would definitely enjoy reading more of their writing in the future based on their writing styles.

This is an anthology that gathers the creme de la creme of Urban Fiction with the opening shot of T.Styles' "Luxury Tax" ..."there is a luxury tax ,when you fuck with rich niggas, you don't get to floss without a price and its time you recognize that shit" and pay Ginger does,the ending will leave you speechless,and according to T (this is going to become an entire novel) my second favorite story was JM Benjamin's "Smooth As Silk" a hustler's love story at its finest ...Caroline Mc'Gill & boston George's story are both A1.....pick up "Soft" because next year "Hard " is coming!!!

Four stories in one book. Jumps straight into the lying, manipulation,and just craziness. Definitely have an open mind because if grittiness offends you, then put the book down.

Good reads

This book was crazy good. It need a part 2 so the readers could know what happen afterwards. Will recommend it

[Lunden · Rating 3 out of 5]

First of all, this book is not written by Ashley Antoinette or her husband. They write the forward.

All of the stories were pretty good in my opinion. I just hated how they all, except for the last one, were unfinished. It seems like they all ended in cliffhangers. I tried to see if the authors of the stories wrote the extended version of the book and published it but I found nothing. Pretty good read I was just wondering what happened next.

[Valerie Cunningham · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far it is very good. After reading the first chapter by T. Styles called Luxury Tax it leaves you wanting more.

[D0LL · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was boring, I didn't even finish it, It was all over the place like Ashley&Jaqvuais can do better

[Shaveta Brock]

It was ok

This book was ok for short stories. I only liked one story and that was the second story. I would buy part 2 to that but the rest I wouldn't waste my money on.

[Tasha Milteer · Rating 2 out of 5]

So not what I thought. I've been dying to read this for so long and felt disappointed. Seemed rushed and unfinished. Only 2 stories were worth reading.
