Sierra Rogers experiences a tumultuous life growing up in one of Richmond’s most treacherous housing projects. Blessed with a body to die for and the gift for gab, it doesn’t take long for her to snatch up one of the area’s hottest drug lords; Alijah Jackson. Soon she secures a place in his life as his “Bottom Bitch”. She realizes that fairy tales are a mere myth when she comes face to face with Shayna Jackson, the other woman in her man’s life. Shayna is intelligent, sexy and wicked which is total opposite from the persona that she gives off to everyone around her. Her good girl persona goes down the drain the moment she comes face to face with her husband’s mistress. Shayna discovers a mound of secrets and vows to let both her husband and his mistress suffer a fate reserved only for those that betray. As Alijah attempts to maintain both a wife and mistress he’s also dealing with making more money than he will ever be able to spend. While Shayna, Sierra and Alijah go to combat with each other Alijah discovers that young goons are trying to kill him and the feds trying to lock him up for life. He must now figure a way to stay alive and free. With no one to turn to, nowhere to hide, Alijah must rely on his gut instinct of survival and his knowledge of the game while still trying to maintain love in his life. The question is, from whom-- His wife or his bottom bitch? Travel a journey filled with lust, greed and larceny as a triangle of sins goes haywire with no one to blame but each other.
I can't do it. I tried my hardest to finish this book but there were entirely too many errors. There were errors like "retroactively" when it should've been "rhetorically" or "threading on thin ice" when it's "treading on thin ice." I just couldn't do it anymore. "You can lead a cow to the pond, but can't force him to drink." Huh? That is not the saying at all. I was frustrated and the book seemed to be getting longer and longer. Not to mention, the characters would say the same thing the character before them did except they were giving their version in their own words...which was pretty much the same as the prior character. I had two options: Throw my kindle across the room or stop reading the book.
Racquel has done it her debut book Bottom Bitch was good. It was about a girl who grows up in one of Richmond’s projects housing. She met Alijah who was a drug dealer and he was checking her out. She was checking him out to but was playing hard to get.
Sierra and Alijah hit it off good they were spending time together, and was a couple. Sierra was in love with him. Until one day she met Shayna. Who was Shayna?
This was book was well written with twist. From page one I was glued to the pages waiting to see what could possibly happen next. She also give you a change to see each characters point of view.
Are you a Bottom Bitch?
Would I recommend this book? Yes Would I read more from this Author? Yes
This was an okay read. Not sure what was missing. Could have been the back and forth of the same scene from different character point of view. I think this book could have been better.
Sierra Rogers is an independent woman who knows what she wants and goes after it including if it is someone else's husband. Growing up in one of Richmond's toughest housing projects, she knows how to handle herself well. She has her share of sugar daddies who keep her pockets lined with money which she finally uses to open her own beauty salon.
One evening after the salon's closing, in walks, Alijah Jackson, one of Richmond's drug kings. Mesmerized by his swagger, Sierra makes it her business to get him in her life and bed. Little does she know, Alijah is feeling the same way although he is married to attorney, Shayna Jackson. He and Shayna are drifting apart and he wants out of the marriage but he knows Shayna is not going down without a fight especially living the lifestyle that Alijah's drug dealing money brings in to the household.
After going through some ups and down with Sierra, Alijah decides to make her his "Bottom Bitch." Armed with revenge and evidence, someone attempts to bring Alijah down by turning him in to the Feds.
Has Alijah's time run out? Which enemy wants his blood? Who can he trust? In the streets, loyalty is hard to come by. You have got to one click to find out.
The author does a good job of character development and the storyline was hot! I did feel at times that the character retelling the story in their point of view led to redundancy and made the story drag on a little longer than it should have. All in all, I applaud Ms. Williams for taking on this type of POV for her debut novel.
"Bottom Bitch" by Racquel Williams was indeed a good interesting read. The title held my attention thinking this was about something else, however, I am glad to continued to read and it was some read from start to the finish. I must say if you like drama...you have truly come to the right place. I found this read somewhat different in that the author repeated the story...which I found interesting. If you were at a lost to what had just happened you got it all repeated to you again. That was interesting to me because in many novels I have read...this was my first that I noticed this type of storytelling. It did help me sometimes with all that was going on in this read. Yes, this is a adult read in that it is 'real, raw and relevant.' The characters were all very well developed, colorful and well believable. This author really brought these characters to life.
This author also did a good job in the look 'inside the life of the women in a hustler's life.' Not only will you see many twist and turns but most of all a emotional roller coaster ride where there was plenty of drama, anger, killing, fear, sadness and pity. We are left with a cliffhanger...what will happen next? There is still a lot to know of Alijah, Sierra, Mo and Shayna and I am looking forward to this authors' part 2 to see what she will present to us.
In her very first Novel, Racquel Williams comes out Swinging! She shows that she understands the need to keep her readers interested and guessing! Throughout the story, Racquel had me happy, sad, angry and a myriad of other emotions! I loved that Sierra had her own independence and worked toward opening her own hair salon despite the fact that she could have had anything she wanted from Alijah! Then there was Shayna, the ultimate traitorous bitch that every good book needs, as well as the "other Tricks" such as Luscious and Priscilla that Alijah was messing with behind Sierras back, but then again, Sierra had Mo'.....My heart was in my throat as Sierra is describing how she sees all her homies that have already gone to Heaven.......
OMG ...this book was love ! Sierra was a ride & die, loyal woman ...but that damn Shayna, Lord, I can't stand her ! She's a freaking snake & I pray that she gets what she deserves ! I loved Alijah & his crew ....hate that Darryl died & Salaam was a true loyal rider as well ! Big ups to Dre & Chuck too ! Neisha, on the otherhand, was a selfish, jealous, backstabbing chick ! I'm dying to know what will happen ...will be reading part 2 Asap !
I loved this book. Sierra was true to her man and a rider. Alijah was no good but did love Sierra in his own way. Now that crazy wife of his was a whole lot of mess that couldn't be contained. I couldn't put this book down. Racquel Williams did a great job with this book. I look forward to reading more from her. Would recommend this book.
The old saying is nothing like a woman scorned. I don't understand why these guys think it's okay to tell a female everything you do & it doesn't matter if that's your wife who you are spilling your guts too. If you hurt her she going to hurt you worst. That is what she did.....
Sierra is really a ride or due. She rode for Alijah to the fullest! But why did you have to end it like that lol!! Hope there's a part two in the works!! Bravo!!
Wow that was good as hell.New author and she has proven herself to me.I can't believe the drama in this book.Im glad he seen that Sierra was a Ride or Die.That ending was crazy as hell.Cant wait to read the second one
I read this book and it was hard to put down. I love this author and so far every book I've read that he has written they all have been amazing! So if you see something brat Raquel Williams you need to read it!
Pretty good read. I won't give any details away especially since I see there are 2 more books to this series....I already know that the ending in part one, all is well...
racquel Williams sure know how to lure her readers into the story I really enjoyed reading this book she had me guessing through out the whole book and I loved it can't wait for part 2
I really enjoyed this book. I was amazed at how raw and realistic the plot was. Sierra was a for sure rude or die and I loved that about her Alijah was a real boss.
