She Gave Her All to the Hood's Finest
Camarih Marlon is your typical pretty girl from the hood. Enduring hardship after hardship, and constant tragedies, has drained any hope of having a better life from the beauty. After one traumatic event in particular, Camarih realizes that life will never be what she wants it to, and expects nothing less than good old misfortune. Even her R&B singing boyfriend has become the worst decision she's ever made. And just when Camarih believes life can't get any worse, she unveils a mind blowing secret about the people she thought loved and cared for her, only proving her bad luck theory correct. Mentally, she has given up, until she meets the ignorant, disrespectful, and intimidating Tony Wacko. Knowing as soon as they meet that he is not her type, despite his extremely good-looking exterior, Camarih puts the brash hood boy to the back of her mind. However, Tony has other plans for her.
Tony Wacko or Leimert Park's finest, is an ill-mannered, off-kilter, pure unadulterated hood boy, with the sexy looks to match. Ever wondered what a brother straight from the ghetto was like? It's Wacko. He's as ignorant as it gets, but with the same amount of intelligence. Since middle school, he's always had to fend for himself, and getting swallowed up by the hood life has hardened him to seemingly beyond repair. He cares for nothing and no one outside of his money, and a few family members to an extent. Things start to shift when the handsome hard-hearted Tony meets the much softer and sweeter Camarih. For a woman who needs love, the last thing she wants is a man who is incapable of giving it. Will Tony's callous and rude behavior push the gentile spirit that is Camarih away? Or will she be able to soften the brutal, uncivil, and reckless hood?
In this urban love story filled with betrayal, jealousy, shocking revelations, and forbidden obsessions, will the good girl and extra rude bad boy be able to develop a true love? Or will Camarih's negative outlook on life and love, continue to be true? But how easy is it for her to walk away when she gave him her all, and when there wasn't much left to begin with?

NOT THE BEST READ...
Well this book was not really worth reading, but I did finish it just to see how it would end, I guess. It really had no major interest or good storyline. The main thing I hated about the book was it went way overboard with the sex, especially with Tony and Camarih. Also, it made her character seem too dumb, stupid, and weak. It was just unrealistic, to me. I love reading, but this was not a good read at all, to me.

I lost count of the amount of times I looked over my shoulder, wondering if Tony really said what I thought he said. Some people don’t have a filter, he doesn’t even know the definition. This story was messy with many secrets and I enjoyed it. Tony did not make my book boyfriend list however lol.
I enjoyed the dual narration in the audiobook, Winston James was the perfect fit for Tony’s personality. Looking forward to continuing this series and see where this cliffhanger is heading.

Hmm
I feel like Tony character is unrealistic. For him to be that disrespectful I don’t believe anyone would ever want to be with let alone procreate with him. It was a bit much at times. It’s an ok read tho

Hmmm....
This book was a pretty good read however, this author is starting to get repetitive with her work. If this was my first book by her I would have given it 5 stars but because I have read her previous work I cannot. This book is the same as She got it bad for a heartless gangsta & nobody can love you like the roughnecks do. The only difference is the names. Its like if you have read one of her books you have read them all. I honestly don’t think she can do anything else. I’m tired of how stupid & naive she makes her lead women. Can we please get a boss female as a lead? With a serious career & one that doesn’t get pregnant after only knowing someone for a week? & our males can be just as sexy without having to be so rude, disrespectful & a womanizer. Please give us something new.

Shvonne Latrice Does It Again
Banging storyline as usual. Tony Wacko is crazy as all get out but you can't help but fall in love with him. From beginning to end you get caught up in the pages. I laughed my behind off because Tony was a whole fool. Shvonne is definitely one of the best. Her storylines are always different and her male characters are the freaking best. One of my favorite authors for sure.

That ninja is crazy for real....😂😂😂
These women are crazy to tolerate disrespect to be or want to be with him. I hope Camirah gives him a chance 🤭 never mind he is crazy she will have too or he will kill everybody around her. Cannot wait on Part 2. Good Shvonne

I am loving this book thus far!! Camarih and Tony's relationship started off rocky but it got better and now they are going to be battling because of Tony's sneaky 😾 step sister Brielle!!! She is beyond delusional and desperate...Why she can't accept that he doesn't want her is beyond me! She better pray because I can see Cam knocking some sense in her head with the bs she just did!! If Tony loses Cam nobody is going to be safe! I need Rubie to cut that toxic leech out of her life! 3yrs of nothing from him is more than enough reason to let him call Tyrone! Eitan can be a possibility! Shanece is really going through it with her mean a surly sick husband...Rahim is going to mess up on the marriage he is hiding and the possible friendship he is building with Shanece...Joy, and Brielle need to grow up! They need a hobby so they can stop chasing a man that doesn't see them as anything other than convenient mouth and easy 😾! Lordt and this Crazy chic Hollie.... Eitan better run because she is demented af!! I can't wait to hear Isis' reason for sleeping with her best friends man and being pregnant man! This is a definite 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Read!! I can't wait till part 2 drops!

Jaw dropping
I will never understand the negative reviews this story got. I loved every second of it! Camarih was far from a weak woman! She stood her ground with him and didn’t let him come back until she was sure he would act right and place her in the position she deserved! I’m ready to get to this next book because the way this ended had me speechless!!! ❤️

That ending tho! I knew she was going to find out about Bre sooner or later and that’s his stepsister! Why couldn’t he just be honest? This book was a page turner from beginning to the end! I’m so ready for book 2!! Amazing 😉

Yo
I know you did not end the book like that. This book kept me turning pages I loved the way the story built. I wasn’t sure about Tony at first I wanted to read through the book for a little bit, but it was great.

That !$#&@ is crazy🤣
I don't think I've ever read about a ruder, crazier person than Tony Wacko, OMG! It was like looking at a train wreck about to happen, but can't look away. I really liked his rude ass. I cannot wait to read part two.

3.5 stars
this is classic hood romance from Shvonne. here we have Camirah and Tony Wacko's story. TW, as his name implies, is crazy asf! his personality is a tad ridiculous.. not sure how he's pulling all these women but this is fiction. Cam and TW relationship started out so toxic. I don't think all the toxicity is gone just they've been in a good place.
the 2ndary characters are interesting. Shanece and Rikam are both married. Eitan got his ass beat by a chic. Isis is a bytch that deserves all the heat. I'm sure book 2 will continue with the DRAMA.

Oh yeah! I love it here
Usually, I love to leave well thought out or semi thoughtful reviews. This time all I have to say is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. What a good time. Please note this MMC is absolutely not for everyone and if you maintain your feelings on men in reality while reading this, you will be angry. If you're like me and just love a good time filled with ridiculous behavior and a sweet love story, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 get into this!

Read the book! I don't care what you doing stop and read the book!
I'm not going to leave a lengthy review because honestly, you just need to read the book. Tony is ruthless, straight disrespectful but something about his love for Camarih will make you see heart eyes at his foolishness.

Everyday drama. But the time the book ended I was left feeling like “that’s it?”

Tony is so trifling and disrespectful. It could never be me! 😭 Don’t let this toxic love find me.
June 15, 2025
this was cool I don't know how I feel about the men in this book I think some of them are 🗑️ but maybe it will get better with the rest of the series but I'm not writing them off yet will see in book 2.

YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!
This book was sooo good! It’s was so many unexpected plot twists. I love the character “Tony Wacko”. He’s just a complete a**hole but he’s brutally honest. I enjoyed seeing how his relationship with Camarih blossomed. (From the way they first met I just knew she wasn’t going to talk to him lol) They balance either other out.
The ending was NOT what I expected. I thought Joy was going to be the ring leader of the crazy hoe committee but plot twist it’s someone you least expected to in their feelings.
Rahim is playing a dangerous game attempting to live this double life, I can’t wait to see how that plays out.
Hopefully we get to see if Eitan and Rubie’s relationship will become and the demise of Rubie and Armanno.
As well as what Armanno is really up to and is he going to show and prove.
I can’t wait for the next installment. This author never lets me down!
Please let it be a Part 2&3 (Thanks in advance!)
This book is a great read. Once I started the book I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down. This book was definitely worth staying up until 3am to read!!!!
