The was getting good
It was a good read but how the book leave you stuck like what's next is it over. I was feeling the story flow and everything then bam it was over. So many questions but then again it could be over with the conclusion that Dillion killed two birds with one stone. The lesson some times the rich gets beat at their own game.

Even though this was a short read I loved Dillon's character. That chick was moving smart and expanding what she learned from her friend Meredith. She realized she needed some help and reached out to Lanika. Lanika's transformation with her name and appearance were all for the better, though quickly done. Alleyne was truly working my nerves. Even though she got gifts and didn't have to do as much as the other girls, she was letting it all go to her head. Aww I liked Cory and even though his announcement may make things complicated, I was hoping things between him and Dillon would go beyond a friendship. Ugh Mallorie!!! How can you knock the next chicks hustle because your husband wants to roam?! That should've been something she took up with her husband. And things begin to get real!!! Finally Alleyne gets what she deserves for constantly going off at the mouth and thinking she runs things. My, my, my Mallorie's money and power may have caused her a lot more problems then she bargained for. Guess she didn't do enough research before threatening Pretty Hustlaz!!! Great job and I can't wait for part 2.

Too Short!
This book was really good and hooked me from jump! It was well written and the main character Dillon reeled me in and I want to know more now! The cliffhanger was hot and I can't wait for the second part. That's what I expected from a book with Nisa Santiago attached all of her titles have been hit so.... if you are into good stories that have all the nuances of good "street lit" try this one on.

As soon as the book was getting good it ended. Of course there well be a sequel. It seemed to be a slow build up to them drama. I just wish the entire story would've been told in one book

A great book written by two great authors. This story would make a great movie that I would pay to go see. When you put women together, there will always be lots of drama. The ending had me wanting more.

Another good book by one of my favorite authors. Dillon is a madame, running a brothel and catering to the elite with plenty of money to spend. One of her girls is killed. Read to find out who did it.
