Never Trust The One You Love

Rate this book
Every girl wants to live the lavish life, but at what price? Nothing in Sweetz's life is normal when she falls in love with Smooth, the infamous leader of the Hot Boyz. Taking her out the shelter and giving her the taste of the faster and finer things, what more could a girl ask for? Saving her from a lifetime of poverty and prostitution, Krazy feels as though she owes her savior Kris her life. Yet love is nothing sweet when the two girls are caught up in the dangerous and deadly web of the street life. Everyone carries their own motives and nothing is what it seems to be. After all, this is a game of love and war, but they should've realized sooner that you can never trust the one you love. Part one of the Mind-Blowing Series... T.L. Joy takes you into the gritty story of Never Trust the One You Love

Book was so terrible I couldn’t even finish it. kudos to the author for writing a book and having a series but from the bland characters to the jumping between viewpoints and not telling us who it is to the the run-of-the-mill story. It was just horrible.

Wth...Nobody's straight.

I am at a loss for words. Part 2 did explain the beginning of part 1. Everybody is corrupt. This really is a good book. Its full of plots and twists, betrayal and lies; just grimy! I hated for it to end. These folks weren't loyal! Nobody is straight. To find out that everyone was related was the killer. I wish the story was longer. I feel that the book is too short for the price. That doesn't take away from it. Because of my fondness of this series and my curiosity, I'm still going to purchase to remaining 2 books of this series.

Great read...gotta have the next book! With the turn of each page you are eager to read more. Each character and their back story is more than enough to make you an avid fan of T.L.JOY!

Definitely crazy, not what I expected

All of the men/boys were jacked up and didn't know how to love. They were good at faking it tho. I can't wait to see how things turn out for Simone, La'nay and smooth. The girls were just trying to find themselves but got caught up with col hearted boys & men definitely a lesson about life.

This book was a page turner. I could not put the book down. I started at 7pm and finished by midnight. The author does an exceptional job of pulling the reader in with the different characters telling their side of the story but still capturing the main point. For a free book it was great and I can't wait to purchase the next book!

LADIES NEVER SWEAT. IN THIS BOOK, NEVER TRUST THE ONE YOU LOVE: BOOK 1 (HOT BOYZ SERIES) BY T.L. JOY WOMEN PLAY THE FIELD AND SIZE UP THE CONTENDERS. MAINLY THIS MIGHT BE WOMEN LIKE KRIS. IN THE H-BLOCK, KRIS KNOWS NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO SLIDE IN BETWEEN THEM. THIS BOOK IS DIRECT ON THE LOVE CONNECTION.

This each actually a book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading!!

I definitely enjoyed the interactions with the Hot Boy and their significant others. Based on the very good ending, I am definitely waiting to read Part Two in this compelling drama series.

Too Many Points of View

This book gave a point of view from even the most minor character. I found myself skipping through. I know this book builds a foundation, but because there’s so many POV’s you don’t get a feel for the main characters or even understand their chemistry

slow start but ok

Started off slow and confusing but I’m going to read Book 2 to see if it get better. Not a fan of author writing style, dialogue hard to follow, characters are ok so far

They are all young and dumb. That is all I can say. Although the book was good. Glad the girls realize. It's time to grow the fuck up.

This was a slow starting book but once I got into it, it was good

I choose this because I thought it would be a good book. It ended with a lot of questions unanswered.

It was a good book, it left me with a lot of questions and needing to read the next book. I will say the writing style took some getting used to but all in all it was a good read.

This reads like a story a high schooler wrote in his/her spare time. The vocabulary was very limited and the majority of the sub-storylines are super under developed. Teenagers might like it.

Not Another Series

I’m too old for gangs and it’s enough to see it daily on the news and so prevalent in my old neighborhood. #ThuggedOut

Wanted more

So this is a typically hood rich story of drugs, sex, murder and deceit. I wanted more character development and more depth of story.
