This book has been a ride so far, very captivating & funny! Kyiem “Ghoul” Bianchi was ENERGYYYYYY!!!! The way that he was coming behind Alana since the first time he laid eyes on her 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾! This story has so much going on, I’m curious to see how it’s going to be wrapped up!

GOOD BOOK!!!
This is a good book. At first I wasn’t feeling Ghoul, but he was humbled after his accident. I’m loving them together and hope everything works out. This is definitely a must read. I can’t wait to read part 2. That ending was crazy and I loved it. Talehia you did great as usual.

Overrated
I’m not quite sure how this book got the ratings that it did because it was straight trash to me!!! I’m an avid reader and it usually takes me about a day to read a book if it’s good but I this book took me 4 days because it didn’t hold my attention for a long period of time!!!

4.7
4.7 🌟 since it was some editing issues but I really enjoyed this book. Alana surprised shocked me cause I didn’t even know that was happening Chile. She shouldn’t have even tripped though cause she knows her man got cameras and I’m pretty sure he watched them after everything. Wow I had a feeling about Huncho but idk how deep that goes and I can’t wait to see frfr. Baby I love Kyiem aka Ghoul cause brah knew what he wanted from the get go. He is just so unhinged and I love that he didn’t mind sharing his emotions about her leaving. Talehia men always got slick mouths but they don’t play about their women and I love that plus they’re hilarious. Did they already get married cause she started to call him husband at the end?! Chile I’m ready to see ALL the cousins stories as well. I didn’t think Natalia was a BBW though

Great read !!!
I loved this from beginning to end. Kyiem had an ego bigger than the world but one night changed how he saw everything. Alana is a strong independent woman, with goals set out for herself. Being the loyal person she is, she strikes a deal to help save her cousin. Realizing that they have met each other, it becomes very hard to stay away from each other and the feelings that are growing. Sasha is a single mom doing everything possible so her daughter wants for nothing. But what do you do when the person you thought died is looking you in the face? On to part 2

So I know Ghoul and Alana were supposed to be enemies, but let’s be real they really weren’t 😅. And honestly, I didn’t mind one bit because we got right into what I came for: the romance.
I also love when parents show up in stories, and Ghoul’s meddling but caring parents gave me exactly that 🥹. It added such a sweet layer to all the street energy. They actually love their son.
It was a super cute story overall, but with that time jump, I really wanted more backstory about what happened in between. That part felt a little thin for me.
I did enjoy the side characters though 👀 and I’m hoping we’ll get even more of their stories in part 2 because there’s definitely something there.
(3.5/5)

Imma Need Part Two Asap!!!
I think this is my favorite book by Talehia. From start to finish it had all my attention. What I loved the most about this book is the word play and banter between the characters, especially Ghoul and Alana. I knew something was a little weird with Hustle I just hope Ghoul believed Alana. It's always the ones you call family. I wonder where Sasha's baby daddy been all this time. I can't wait to find out more about him. I'm also liking the idea of Nat and Anthony.💞💞

It was aite.
Started off good and went left real fast. And not in a good way.
It lost me when it was like his whole character changed the moment he seen her. It didn’t gradually happen.
Characters are talking for mad long.
His obsessiveness ain’t cute.
I didn’t even get attach enough to the characters to want to know what happens next and that’s bad.
Usually I’ll still read the story even though it’s bad
Because I ended up liking something about the book but this one ain’t got nothing I like to continue. So no book 2 for me.

What's Really Going On?
Talehia, lawd have mercy, you surely know how to make some good messy mess. We have some stuff going on. What was supposed to be just a fix isn't turning into what it was supposed to be. Now, this new wrench is thrown into the mix. We have some known snakes and unknown snakes, let's see how this plays out. I hope it ends up getting everything out in the open where it should be. Good read🤗🤗🤗🤗

Ghoul is a straight menace
Baby Ghoul and Alana are a match made in heaven. They can both be stubborn when they want to but hopefully they get it together. I am not totally surprised by the revelation that Sasha had in that cliffhanger I had a feeling there was another element to the story concerning her baby daddy. I can’t wait for part 2 to drop so I can see how everything plays out.

Part one was so good and funny. Both Kyiem and Alana had me tickled. Their mouths are so reckless. Kyiem is pure crazy and he don't play about his Angel. He literally killed a man for walking up trying to dance with her. Alana/Angel is the perfect fit for Kyiem as she challenges him. The book has minor grammatical errors but ir doesnt take away from the book at all. This book ends on a cliff hanger but it is worth the read.

When A Virgin Beauty Loves A Street Beast: A BBW Enemies To Lovers Tale
Wow!!! This book was an Excellent Read if I could give it more than five stars I would. This book gives the readers passion, love, drama, excitement, betrayal, lies, secrets and ecstasy, and a cliffhanger out of this world. I most definitely would recommend this book. I loved it from start to finish.

I enjoyed this book, it was a good read. I was laughing and very intrigued by this book. I love all the characters in here. I hope Sasha get the answers she needs from her baby dad. I hope Alanna let ghoul know that she is pregnant and they are able to forgive each other and move forward.

Good Read
This book was a great set up for the show down that is about to take place in book two. All the characters are interesting and I love how everyone has a story to tell which kept me reading but I know the drama is packed in the next book because the plot just kept getting thicker.

wow
Unhinged that’s the word I would use to describe him! And he definitely lives up to it that’s for sure! If he ain’t got anything he had audacity! I was right about my theory! I need part 2! I’ve got to know how everything play out!

Drama
This well written story is so crazy. There is so much drama going on, along with secrets, lies, and deceit. I love these likeable characters and the chemistry between the two. I can't wait for book two.

Ok
It's an ok read, but not for me. Lots of grammatical errors & the formatting needs to be corrected. The storyline & characters didn't hold my attention enough to continue the series but others may enjoy

Definitely “my kind of read”. I loved it. The humor in this book was one of many of my unmatched reads. Period. That’s it. That’s all I came to say 🤭🤭🤭

Beauty and a Street Beast
Ghoul has a lot of demons that he needs to work through. Alana is actually a good match for him. I'm really wondering what Hustle and Danta are really up to?

I guess
The book wasn’t all that bad. Let me just say Alana was not kidnapped she volunteered to go. They fell in love too fast without knowing much about each other (eye roll). I guess I’ll move to the second book due to not having another book to read.
