Dangerously In Love With A Southside Menace

Rate this book
In a world where good girls often fall for bad boys, Nicole defies expectations. While she appears as a smart and ambitious dancer on the right path, there's a hidden side to her life that threatens to drown her in darkness. With a hustler's spirit, she embraces a life focused on money and her career, until she unexpectedly crosses paths with Lucky.

Lucky, known as a menace to society with his no-tolerance attitude, has built a reputation as a cold-hearted and malicious individual. Respected and feared, he always gets what he wants. Despite their differences, Lucky finds himself drawn to Nicole after a chance encounter, and a deep bond forms between them.

Ignoring numerous warnings, Nicole remains steadfast in her feelings for Lucky. Possessive and protective, Lucky reciprocates her emotions. However, their intense love becomes a catalyst for a series of dramatic events, filled with betrayal and ultimately leading to tragic consequences.

Dangerously in Love with A Southside Menace by J. Charnise is a interesting and unique story. This is my first time reading from this author. She did a good job. The characters are energetic, funny and controlling.

Coco and Lucky were different people. They came from different backgrounds and different families. Coco is energetic, unique and intelligent person. Lucky is mean, controlling, confident and smart. Lucky was using Coco as chess game because he’s paying close attention every move whatever Coco doing. However, she didn’t told him about her moves and whatever she plans to do with her life. Coco is trying to stay away from him because he needs to controlling his past relationship with Mika. Hopefully, Coco will healing from verbal abuse and physical abuse by Mika and Mika’s friends. Mika should have to leave Coco alone because she knows how Lucky is an dangerous man. Lucky doesn’t play when it comes to Coco. I can’t wait to read part two of this series.

Good Read

To Fall For A Menace

J. Charnise. Lord today. These folk right here have a whole lot of stuff going on. Nicole had her path set out for her, never thought she would come across the devil himself.
Lucky had so many issues he never thought he could feel after a traumatic thing set the measure of his life.
Meeting Nicole has Lucky changing his whole way of feeling and doing things. Between the two, they are finding their way. Now Nicole and Lucky may not be able to get out this time. Or will it be the best beginning of a new lifestyle for both of them?🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I ain't go lie I'm feeling Lucky strong. That's my new book boo! I love how nonchalant he is about every thang. I have a nonchalant attitude about almost every thang myself. He's ruthless but he so laid back. I just love me some Lucky 😍😘 Lucky is great for Nicole but her dad is pissing me off real bad. Your daughter grown and live on her own. Let her do as she please. Lucky most definitely should have killed Mika. She deserve it. I never heard of the author J Charnise before but I like her and can't wait to read more of her books. Let me gone on to book 2!

Lucky and Coco

They do say opposites attract. Lucky was mean as hell. Nicole brought out his softer side. Shamika should have heeded Lucky warnings and just went about her business, but no, she just had to bring out the beast. Lucky didn't play about Nicole. Mika got more than she bargained for. I don't know how Nicole didn't tell Lucky that her father was a cop. I can't wait for part two.

Whew Child

Loving a menace! Nicole is head nicer heels for Lucky and he has the same feelings! Lucky his a menace in every way but with Nicole! I wonder if their relationship will survive, because Nicole father is a piece of work! Tati and Nicole friendship is so refreshing! Nicole's father is a menace himself but in a different way, he's dirty! Can't wait for part 2, too many questions!

WOW

If I don't play abut mine was a person it would be Lucky. He did not come to play when it concerned Nicole. I loved the fact that Nicole wasn't rachet but she wasn't green to the streets either. Overall this is the beginning of a great series I see and im definitely impatiently waiting for part 2

Isn’t she Lucky!

This whole book was lit. From the playlist to the ending. I love how this Authoress gives a playlist for her book so you catch the whole vibe of the story. She definitely loves her some Chris Breezy 😂 Again, I’m never disappointed with this writer and I can’t wait for the next installment!

This read was soo good!!! One of the best this year!! Lucky and Coco, what can I say they are 💣!!! Her dad might as well hang it up when it comes to her turning on him. She knows EXACTLY who she’s dealing with and she loves him. Lucky tickled me so bad. Im shame to say that im in love with his rude self.

Mmmmm

I am not sure where to start.or what this was that I read... Lucky and Coco.are Roxas yes... we expect that from the title but his language toward her and grabbing all on her...nope. Nicole is on a path of her life together with a few wild sprinkles yet she is a bit not together..
The story is a bit much with Luckys family and I am.not sure if I will read part 2.

no no no

This thing was lit lit lit and I hate it ended like this but the storyline was great. Mika hard out here in these streets but she forgot who her ex was and karma bit her in the bottom. She didn’t have to say Nicole did that because a blind man could see she’s not capable of such. Keep up the great work and I recommend this to everyone

I need part two

Where is part two? Why must you play with my emotions? Why do some women go crazy over a man who doesn't belong to them? It's sad and about to be deadly.

Should have been a DNF but reading goals. This book was underwhelming and underdeveloped. Just a bunch of nothing.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Lucky truly earned his name, and when it came to Nicole she was what he needed to balance him out. Now his ex jump off just couldn't stand that something better replaced her and that Lucky gave her a title but I bet she won't try Nicole again then again psychotic people never take heed to warnings. I got a feeling that Nicole class mate is that guy that's trying to take over Lucky's family territory as well as him dealing with her best friend/roommate can't wait for part 2 it's going to best amazing I know it.
