Lovely
This is my third times reading from Mz Lady P. This author did a good job. Living for Love and dying for loyalty is a good read. The storyline is on point. The characters are an amazing. I didn't feel bad for Carmen and Mont because they're a dead wrong. So far, I enjoyed reading this book. I'm looking forward to read part 2 of this book,
Well done⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Good Stuff
This was an entertaining story with a few twist and turns .The writer keeps her foot on the gas and never let's up with the pace of the story.The storyline has been done before but we get a new look on some new players and it's just good.

wow
I don't care Markese was arrogant and bogus. I really feel Trish could so better and should have cut her loses. Rah was wack for actions in the hospital and me and him would have had it out forget the situation. Carmen is a clown

So Good 👍
Good Read😍 it's nice too hear about the other family. Trish is a real strong woman. Not sure if I could've stayed.. But the heart ❤❤ wants what it want. Aja is my kind of little sister. And of course the Men are always enjoyable 😁

This book was good but some things just seemed unrealistic like them getting married at the same time. Good job though.

I’m sure Carmen ain’t dead. That’s why there are two mire books. It never ends that easily. Glad to read Rah and Aja’s story. I wonder if Thug will be in the other books.

Rahmeek was just released from prison, and settling down was the last thing on his mind, until he was met Aja. He puts the love that he has for Aja to the side, due to his beef with Markese. He pushes his woman away, and that's the worst thing that he could've ever done, because pushing her away is hurting the both of them.
Aja is definitely a force to be reckon with. Due to Aja's upbringing, she's not impressed with flashy cars, the fast lifestyle, money, or drugs doesn't faze her. She has a brother that would spoil her until no tomorrow, but she wants to make her brother proud, by making it on her own. Aja loves her family, but she wants to do her own thing. She falls hard for Rahmeek, but once again the beef is drawing a wedge between everyone. Aja then chooses love over everything, and she doesn't know if she made the right choice. She's pushed her brother farther away, and Rahmeek pushes her away. She's left with wondering what to do.
Trish loves Aja, because she's part of Markese, and Markese and Aja are all she knows since the age of 14. Markese is the love of Trish's life, and she knows that her man's heart is in the streets. However, when she finds out that her man is cheating, it breaks her heart, but to add insult to injury, her man has had 2 kids on her. She's overwhelmed with the infidelity, and tries to end her life. She then is there to put the pieces of the life back together.
Markese is good to his phamily, but he's not treating Trish like he knows he need to. Having to hide his kids from his woman, is starting to weigh a toll on him. He wants to break the news to Trish, but he doesn't know how, until Trish finds out on her own. Trish goes into hiding, and talks to someone that was supposed to be a mutual friend to both Trish and Markese. The mutual friend teams up with mother of Markese's children, and now tension is in the air. Markese, Rahmeek, Aja, and Trish takes you a roller-coaster ride on what it takes to be in love with a hustler.

Living for Love and Dying for Loyalty
The storyline is an interesting read about the different characters growing up in Chicago. King Rah and Markese unknowingly are involved with the same females. First there's Carmen Rodriguez with her ruthless family connections, so the question is the love of her life money...? Then there's hot-headed Markese who definitely loves both Trish and Aja for life or death. But It's all love for the families as they run the streets of Chi town. I think the southside/westside rivalries keep the drama going in this novel. Minus a few spelling errors, it's 3***. Enjoy!

Banger! Markese and Rehmeek couldn't catch a break!I couldn't believe that Carmen was Markese side chick/ baby momma and Rehmeek ex-girlfriend that left him when he went to prison. It was messed up what happen to Trish by Montana too! I love how the girls all band together for Trish to get Montana! When they went to prison I thought everything was going to spiral instead found out the detective was Markese and Aja father! When all the crew got married it was like a fairytale! I'm too excited I can't wait to read part 2 now!

Living For Love and Dying For Loyalty
This was a very good read. I loved both crews and their loyalty. For a minute, I was concerned with how emotional and unstable they acted. Glad they got it together. Carmen was a surprise. Side chick at its worst. This book could have ended right here,but on to Part Two. Definitely recommended.

These characters gave me so much drama, lies, and secrets. This was a emotional roller-coaster fareal. I cannot stand how pathetic Carmen was though. I was shocked with Markese and his infidelity having a double life basically. I cannot wait to see how loyalty they have in the rest of the books.

Fast paced reader laced with drama and some crazy twist and turns. My first read from the author but definitely won't be the last. Looking forward to the next installment can't wait to see what the couples get into next.

This bunch really is a rowdy one. It puts things into perspective and makes you wonder will love conquer loyalty or are they able to exist in harmony? I can't wait to see what unfolds next. I really recommend this book!

Great read.
Rahmeek,Markese and Hassan definitely had some riders on their team. Regardless of how much ish they put their ladies through the my definitely held them down in the end all because of the love and loyalty they had.

Great read
The book had a couple errors but all in all it was well written. Loved the book and story line. Glad that all turned out well for Aja and Trish. I'm nervous for part 2 because I have a bad feeling that things are going to hit to fan.
