Money, Power, Respect

Rate this book
The beautiful and determined Philly native, Bayonne Cooper, is a full time hustler who is all about getting hers and letting nothing stand in her way. She lives a life that others dream of but unfortunately it's with a man who belongs to someone else.

Tired of the lonely nights and all the fights, she decides to call it quits for good. She ventures to Miami where she's introduced to Rich Boy Mafia—one of Miami's largest crime organization. While enjoying the good life, Bay finds herself head over heels for crime member, Blocka. The last thing on Blocka's mind is falling for Bay but her Philly attitude and exotic beauty is hard to resist. Mixing business with pleasure, Bay finds herself in way too deep…not only with her feelings for Blocka but also with RBM.

She is thrust into a whirlwind of disloyalty and betrayal that could leave her fighting for her life. Secrets become exposed and childhood bonds are broken. Life isn't always sweet in the streets of Miami. Along with the money and street fame comes greed and jealousy. In the streets it's more than just being on top, drowning in luxury, and the limelight.

Bay-beh...

I loved this book. I'm mad it took me so long to finally read it, but it was worth the wait. It kept me engrossed and was well written. As a native of Miami, I'm very picky when people write about my city and mess up the details, but she did a great job with the setting details of the book. The character development was superb, and the plot was sickening. I did lot see that curve in the ending coming. I cannot wait for part 2. Hopefully Blocka can get himself together.

LOVED IT

I was hesitant about getting this book. Thought it was just going to be another hood love story. But I absolutely loved this book! Blocka had me laughing taking Bey's daughter like he was really the father. It had spelling & grammar errors. But the story was so good that you can really look passed it in the end. Waiting on part 2. I want to know how Bey is going to react the the other baby.

Okay Read

This book was a little rushed to me. The storyline was a good one, but the editing was HORRIBLE. It seems the Author was going one way and didn't know how to word the story, so it ended up going completely left. But towards the end it was back on track. I probably would recommend and pick another book to read by this Author but I hope she has a new editor.

I almost didn't read this book, but boy am I glad I did. It's definitely a 5*****BANGER. This is the first book by this Author I've read, but it's not my last by far. Total page-tuner. Loved me some Blocka & Bay and so can't wait for PT.2 Don't wanna give to much of the story away I highly recommend you 1-Click and you won't be disappointed. Great job Lorraine Rey.

I enjoyed the stroyline, buy tbh this started off great and then it was a little slow. However, my favorite character from the book is crazy rude boy Blocka. I cannot wait to see how the story unfolds with the lies and betrayal that it ended with.

Good Read

All I can say I enjoyed the book from the beginning to the end. I was bit confused about one of the main characters attitude but I guess in part 2 I will understand more, I guess?
