I liked the idea that Nancy was being pursued by Marvin because Ali wasn't being as FAITHFUL & LOYAL to Nancy as she was being to him, despite his being in prison. You'd think a guy who had been given a LIFE SENTENCE & SENT OFF TO PRISON would Make certain that HE ABSTAINED FROM CHEATING ON HIS FIANCEE. But, I guess CERTAIN FOLKS HAVE A LOP-SIDED VIEW OF WHAT BEING LOYAL & FAITHFUL MEANS AS IT PERTAINS TO THEM & THEIR UH 'MEMBERS'.
I felt that if Nancy would've had knowledge of how many time Ali was cheating on her with that thirsty CO: Chrystal, I feel as though she probably would've given Marvin a fair chance to be to her what she'd hoped Ali would've & SHOULD'VE BEEN to her.
I literally hated what Pauleena had done to Lil Ali. I am in the MINORITY on this BUT I DON'T BLAME Marvin for what Happened to Lil Ali. Nancy shouldn't have answered or opened the door to a man she claimed that she had no interest in ESPECIALLY WHILE SHE HAD ALI on HOLD during his call to her.
THAT DON'T ABSOLVE Pauleena from that horrific act she had done to an innocent child. THUS My reason for NOT BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT her in her Pursuit of Marvin, who was clearly SEXIST in his views on Women in POWERFUL POSITIONS IN THE STREETS.
That being said, AFTER WHAT TRANSPIRED WITH ALI, NANCY, & LIL ALI I feel that This was probably where the series itself should have ended.

Silk has definitely delivered in this long awaited conclusion of an amazing trilogy. I once again felt that love hate relationship with Pauleena. You just love to hate her. The story is action filled and will keep you on edge with its chaotic chain of events. Silk made me a fan with 'Tears of a Hustler Part 1' and has further solidified that. I will be a fan for life! I cannot wait to see what he comes up with next! Keep doing your thing. You are truly an author after my own heart. I love anyone that is a phenomenal storyteller and you are definitely one of the best! ~M~

Nancy loved her man Ali and actually stood by him until death that was true love. I enjoyed this trilogy and if I could change anything Pauleena would be dead. The ending of the book left me satisfied and thinking about life that's Silk White's gift

Silk White didn't let his fans down with this finale to an urban fiction classic.

I read the series a while ago. Just part 4 is coming soon.. im excited. you are a good writer

I only read this book because I got the next book (part 4) for free. I knew going into this book, based on parts 1&2, that I would be quitting this series after part 4. The series has been mildly entertaining but very problematic. Typos, grammatical errors, plot holes, continuity issues, etc. plagued all 3 novels and I expect all of those in part 4 as well. However, the last 15-20% of the book was utterly ridiculous. I mean just terrible! It was an awful mashup of at least 4 popular action movie plots soaked in unbelievability and nonsense. I’m convinced that you cannot have any functioning reasoning skills or comprehension if you enjoyed and appreciated the end of this book. It gets two stars only because it was kind of entertaining and I didn’t hate enough to leave it unfinished. Part 3 made it glaringly obvious that this book with at least 2 female protagonists was (poorly) written by a man. 🤨

Sad
I literally cried towards the end of the book. Sad, but amazing story. Can't wait to start the next one.

Nancy was definitely a ride-a-die chick. Although Ali is out of the pic Pauleena is one slick one to always get away. Another good book in the series.

Just When You Think You Know
Silk White did such a good job with Tear of a Hustler Parts 1 & 2 that I couldn’t wait for 3 to see how the series was going to end. I enjoyed the book but was disappointed in the direction it took. While I know happy endings are not always in order, this one flips the scripts on us and you won’t know what to expect. If you think you know these characters in this book you will look at them all differently.
I have enjoyed Author Silk White's style of writing. I am four books in and will continue to look for his books in the future. It was the same style in this novel but something was really different in this one, more than just story. I don't know if there was a change in editors but the editing was the worst I've seen in this series.
Those remaining characters are back full fledge. Pauleena, Nancy and Ali, CoCo, and of course G-money. Love how he goes back to part two and gives us information. With the refresher taking us back to fight night, it's not hard to keep up. You will want to keep up because in a blink of the eye the direction of the book changes. Was this a great thing NO. The direction didn't work for me and didn't match up with the 1st two books in series. I would like to know why he changed the winning combination. I won't tell the story and ruin it for you all. I keep asking myself who are these people. It was not a complete fail; he does keep the drama and the bloodshed rolling. The game and players are changing. I'll let you be the judge if it's for the good.
