PFD: 5.2 Inches. 7 Days. No Mercy.

by TN Jones

After getting betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, Renzaré Franklin shuts down emotionally—only giving real love and energy to his close-knit family. But things take a strange turn when he crosses paths with a stunning personal shopper whose charm isn’t the only thing raising red flags. Renzaré’s calm demeanor starts to crack as shady moves pile up. When he learns his girlfriend’s been scheming with her bestie to cheat, he snaps. Renzaré sets a trap—not just for revenge, but to force his presence on Clarice Teals, a co-worker with trauma in her eyes and a deep connection he can’t ignore.

Still hurt over her ex-husband leaving her for her sister, her family welcoming the betrayal, and stuck dragging a toxic best friend who treats her loyalty like a leash, Clarice Teals life becomes messier once a cardiac nurse specialist with danger in his eyes speaks calmly make a demand of her presence. She’s stuck in a ridiculous purging-redemption-revenge deal with the one man who feels protective but reeks of dangerous—Renzaré Franklin. More soul damaging skeletons falls from a closet Clarice didn’t know existed.

Can Clarice handle the newly learned betrayal from a friend while being closely tied to a man who speaks in riddles and threats? The kind of man who removes thumbs if someone doesn’t want to continue playing a game they started, which he must finish as the winner. Will Renzaré receive a better insight into a woman who intrigues him but also rubs him in ways that makes him want to remove her thumbs?

Loved it!!!

I laughed so hard during this book!!! It was a breathe of fresh air from the heavy stuff I have been reading!!! Renza're was BDE in scrubs!!! He didn't play and mess around and find out and be missing your thumbs!!! Clarice was a loyal friend and sweetheart, but she needed Zare to help her shed the people who had done her wrong and that's exactly what happened!!! I loved Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, I hope me and my man's freakiness continues into old age possibly getting us into trouble!!!😂😂 It was so cute how Zare and Raxen parented their parents, all in fear of losing them!!! Five Stars Ms. Jones!! I will be waiting on Raxen's story I know that is going to be hilarious🤣🤣 Four women and four babies at once, yeah thumbs are going to roll for sure!!

All my ouchies go in a pouchie!!!

Them Franklin Boys go crazy!!!

Under my bed - in my bed - cuddling!?! Zarè was infatuated just from first sight.

Clarice - a sleeping beast under the guise of a push over friend. Got a mean side that don’t play.

One with a trauma that lead to a signature gesture….the other now has a kink for that particular gesture…

They is fawking fawking in here and it gets real nasty in the end….

Happy reading!!!

Final FB Rec

This was my first read by this author, and I was really looking forward to it. The first 30% had potential, but there was just too much going on for me, and I couldn’t really get into it. Honestly, I can’t even recall what the characters looked like. I did like his brother, though, and I’m officially done taking book recs from Urban Fiction Facebook groups.

Loved it!!

I love this story even in the beginning stages. This family is hilarious 😂. I have laughed so much throughout this entire book. I love it when the woman is just as unhinged as the man. Y'all just read the damn book.

lioness rises

Zare and Raxen are loyal to each other and family like no other. Clarice needed Zare to bring out her lioness and he brought it out right on time. I fell in love either way this couple! Great story
