Hi there,

My name is Gennie Crum but I go by the pen name of Autumn Crum. I am in love with writing fiction. My debut novel Rude Boy did way better than I expected it to. Hitting #4 on the Urban Fiction Bestsellers a day before it was scheduled to come out. The overwhelming love shown to my first penned novel lets me know that writing is my niche and I intend to improve on it with each novel I put out there. Im already a five bestseller, lets see what happens.

****NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO YOU!!***

Because I need a DDD a Designated Drunk Driver lol.......
Thank you for the gift.
It is far better to cry in the backseat of a Rolls Royce, than it is to laugh riding a bicycle. ( that speaks volume)
This book was good an funny, We really got a chance to know the characters in Rude Boy. I meet the Grime's brother's they are into robbin banks and other places, one thing that haven't done yet was kill or into kidnapping. They get a job from a client that requires kidnapping a beautiful women to get a key to the diamonds. Ava Buchanan she has everything other women want, will die for buck she's not happy at all, she all worried about not embarrass her husband Kyle in front of his friends, she wealthy and her father gave her something that no is suppose to know about. The key to the diamonds. I meet Knox he has a short temper with babymama drama he don't take no mess, Clive is a whiz kid
He can get into anything, Lennox they call Fatz love food and strippers, he's the funniest of all. They are ready to get paid, Kenji really not feelin the job so he does his own invesgation. He fellow Ava for weeks and Kenji finally makes his move on her. Ava father Raymond doesn't like her husband at all, Ava sister Leah is a mess she doesn't spend no time with her daughter or husband and their mother is an old hagg. Ava is starting to fall in love with her bad boy Kenji. Kenji is trying to play like he don't care but he's catching feeling for her, it making his job harder. Ava tells him about the diamond now he is ready to strike Will he. Ochoa the client is in the bckground soaking it all up, keeping quite but watching

Crybabi I must say that your first debut will go down in the legends of the history books. This book was all that and more. The least I expected the more you gave us. I like how you contrast the characters from different sides, and describe each one and let us know about their background. Those Rude Boys aka The Grimes family is a force to be reckon with. Even though they have money they still rob banks to take care of their families. I loved how you put Kenji as the head of the family after the dad passed. Then their is Ava and Kyle. Ava married Kyle only because it was arranged by her mother Mildred. Mildred to me is from the olden days because she is not modern. Ava gets abused and cheated on by Kyle til it's not funny. All the while her mother turns the other cheek because she doesn't want the family to be embarrassed or nothing by a divorce. The Rude Boys accepted a job by taking on a bank they say they would never touch. It's not a regular job all they want is the diamonds and the only way they see fit to get in is either kidnap or as Kenji says get Ava to fall in love with him. Both of them is falling in love and Knox sees that as a problem. So the question is now that he know where the key is can he still do both. After Ava finds out whats up can she still accept Kenji in her life? I can't wait for part 2.

Wait

First let me say I loved the fact that this book was edited. I was a little apprehensive about getting it at first due to these kinds of books having so many errors. I also like that it's not your usual dope bit book. Kenji is the man and I hope he finds a way to save Ava and get his money. Of course I didn't care for how the book ended. I can't wait for the next one.

Nooooo! It can't end like this! I was literally holding my breath on the last page! This story was so good. The Rude Boys are brothers who are professional robberies. I loved their personalities and tight knit family. Ava, a wealthy and beautiful woman holds the key to their future. This book is a PAGETURNER! I might just be in love with Kenji. *fanning myself*

Oh yes I love me some Kenji....but we have to do some about Kyle in part 2 before I lose my mind. I swear between him her mother and let's not talk about that sister of hers I need to begin pluck hair from the roots for all these people. Kenji and and his family is good people but he needs to careful with what he's doing do disrupt others lives. Bit love is love. Let's move on...thx author Crybabi for a good read.

Great book

This book was sexy, and kept me intrigued. Ana and Kenji were sexy together. I wanted them to work out even though them being together was wrong. Can't wait for the next book. I have no doubt it will be just as good as this one was.
