If I Gave You My Heart

Adonis "Drayko" Loving had been trouble since he learned to walk. Living a risky lifestyle finally catches up with him, forcing him to suddenly leave Ohio and find a fresh start elsewhere. After relocating, he finds himself struggling with adjusting to his new surroundings. Living a single, drama-free life by getting money and staying out of the way comes to an abrupt end when Nyoka crosses his path. Her slanted, sly eyes pull him in and make him rethink and reevaluate his entire life.

Nyoka "Snake Eyes" Fitzgerald was at the top of her assassin class. Pay-for-hire was her sport, and when it came to the money, it had always been her top priority. However, a hefty price is placed on her head when she doesn't satisfy a contract due to a conflict of interest. Running from the Big Apple to a small town in the Peach State will be her only refuge. Wanting a fresh start opens the possibility of falling in love, which scares her to the core. Still, a bad boy with thuggish ways just maybe what she needs to break through her icy heart. Adonis' family secrets could make or break Nyoka. In the end, only the strong will survive.

It's a stick-up, and Adonis is trying his hardest to put Nyoka's heart in a bag. Family ties, romantic betrayal, and murderous drama fill these pages.

3.5 this book is my first read by this author. I like the plot and the fact that the FMC did not take the MMC back after he left her. The MMC was a whole thief but he wanted to judge the FMC lifestyle. I want to read other books by this author.

Ny and Adonis

This was definitely a great read even thonit didn't end the way I wished it did, but it was great. I love how you bought Ny and Adonis together and how they taught each other how to love. You through for a loop with Oynx and Joy, who would've ever thought that. I just wished that Adonis would have learned how to forgive, and he could've been happy with his pretty lady, but he didn't and lost. I was also happy for their cousins they fell in love and started a family so beautiful. Thanks, Ms. Wilson for a beautiful and good read.

When a good girl gone bad she's gone forever

Nyoka was already bad, and I mean that in a good way she was beautiful smart and deadly, but most importantly she was genuine. I wanted to like Adonis I really did and I'm some parts he was cool but he was very much childish and immature. At the same time things like this happen when men don't heal properly from their childhood traumas I really enjoyed this book as I do any book written by C. WILSON

definitely need more from these people!

I’m hoping this is definitely not the end, maybe a spin off with these couples, cause I was not expecting that ending! This was a great read. It will keep you entertained that’s for sure. C.Wilson did not disappoint!

GREAT READ

Adonis was selfish. He was mad that Nyoka keep the secret if her past but it was fine that he keep his secret. You never miss something until it’s gone. Thst was how ge felt when he saw her again.

Man I'm so mad at that ending. They would have made the perfect couple. Onyx should have taught her son the game and they could have ran it when she stepped down. I wonder who the new person was that was a assassin. It has to be a spin off some where to give us an update.

This was so good! I didn't want it to end like it did. The storyline was so well written that it had my attention from the start.

Nyoka and Adonis

Crazy, how family can take you on emotional journey over a long time span in your life. Adonis and Nyoka childhoods lead them to be the individuals they are .They were more alike than they realized. I think if they were to have met at different times in their lives ,their story would of ended differently. Enjoyed the book, keep pen pushing Cee. 💙

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn’t sure I would get into it but once it got going it was really good. Nyoka was a very likable character. I was hoping for a HEA ending but that didn’t happen. Adonis was too judgmental when he still had his own secret. I think this is the first time I’ve read this author’s work but I will definitely read more.

yes ending!

Baby I’m happy she didn’t give Adonis another chance because he was acting like he was perfect! He told her not to worry about Lola but when the tattoo guy came he didn’t cover sunset up on his ring finger, then moved out like that and tried to spend the block with lola! He was wrong!

C. Wilson’s If I Gave You My Heart is a beautifully crafted novel that explores the fragility of love and the strength required to fully embrace it. It is a story that resonates long after the final page is turned, reminding us of the delicate nature of trust and the power of emotional connection.

lmbo audacity

One thing about a man, they have an abundance of audacity with no common sense. Imagine someone breaking down your walls, you loving them deeply for them to play in your face.

Just buy the book! Girl power to the nth degree. The FMC came through in this one. Several twists I didn’t see coming too. The story kept me on my toes and I loved it.
