Caught Up In The Con
Amelia was the con—slick, beautiful, and always three steps ahead. Ghost was supposed to be just another mark, the kind of man she could charm, scheme, and walk away from without a second thought. But one night with him flipped her whole game upside down, leaving her with more than she ever bargained for.
Two years later, Amelia is fresh out of prison, determined to leave the streets and the hustle behind. She wants a clean slate, but the past doesn’t let go so easily. Amelia is carrying a secret that could destroy everything she’s trying to build and drag her back into the same dangerous world she swore to escape.
When old enemies resurface and unfinished business from the con comes knocking, Amelia must face the the game isn’t over. To survive, she’ll have to decide whether to keep running, come clean, or play the con one last time—this time with her heart on the line.

Awesome job 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I could give this book more than five stars I would have. Mel you most definitely done your thing. I loved this book from beginning to end. Ghost was not to be played with. I’m so glad that Tiny changed her life and left all that scamming along and let Ghost show her what loving a real man is all about. Them kids were so funny. I hope we get an update on them and I would love to see Tre find love. Keep up the great work.

Loved it
Very good read. Quaylon didnt play about his family. I loved that he let his guard down and let his true feelings come out about Amelia. When he popped up with them kids in the back seat I was cracking up. My kind of crazy lol

con love ❤️
Antonio got exactly what he deserved, I’m really upset he made he it till the end. Poor Tiny was dealt bad hand and soon as she got a good deal tragedy struck from bitter baby daddy to her unfit mother and abusive boyfriends. I love how ghost and his family claim all of the kids. Mr. Mommy friend took me out 😂😂 lastly my guy chase was the epitome of a child loving their mother by any means necessary even if that means squaring up with her babydaddies!

Nice very nice
Wow, OMG, this standalone is so lit. I thought my girl was bout to meet her maker when it came to her somewhat boyfriend tryna get her to rob Ghost. She put an impression on Ghost for him to keep thinking about her for two years. Man, I thought he was going to push her wig back when he saw his son for the first time and thought she was keeping him from him. But they became beautiful love story that I can read over and over again. I love their happy ending. U did good on yet another book and I'm looking forward to reading more of them. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and while eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

Sis you did your big one!
With every book you write they just keep getting better and better. You’ve mastered your Craft perfectly and I am proud of the Best Selling Author you’ve become. This story was so damn good I could not put this book down. You brought these characters to life made it believable and realistic. I really enjoyed Ghost and Tiny, thought I was gone have to whup her ass when she let Dru bully her and she didn’t tell Ghost but it worked out. Absolutely loved the book what a great read❤️

When It’s Meant To Be!
You are with the finest, paid man around about to do what you do. This man turned your world upside down in the hours spent with him. Your boyfriend waits but even he realized that something about this didn’t go as planned. You appear in fear and frazzled because the “mark” figured the game but let you leave with a warning, your life, and a little bit more.
Two years later, after having to do a bid, you and that mark seem to run in the same circles and you again have to have a sit down in a different prison while things get figured out. You actually did take a piece of him that night and now you’re in a situation where you can’t if you wanted to, get away.
But, after enemies and haters and big adjustments to all lives involved, you and the mark are Caught Up So Beautifully!
Boss doesn’t half describe Ghost but watch how the toughest falls after the con, literally!!! And by all means enjoy these beautiful kids!!!

I wanted this book to just keep going and going
Ghost tried to fight it, but his love for Amelia was stronger. Ghost was the man. He was Quaylon with his family. I love how he stepped up and took over the role of daddy. He was there for Chase, Nia and Legend with no issue. He didn’t want to leave the other two out when they lived with his son. They were siblings so he stepped up in a major way. Antonio was crazy. He didn’t even care about his own kid. He was a typical no good man. Did his dirt, but was in his feelings when he got it back. Amelia finally got the soft life. Her mother was wrong in how she raised and treated her, but I’m glad she apologized in the end.

Good read
This story started out robbing and ending in love. We all make mistakes in the story you have to learn lessons . I think she deserved it all and it took the right man to stand behind her. Parents need to know we look to them not to be put in situations to hurt our future or survival.

Amelia
Letting go and of what you thought you were and growing in to who you were meant to be takes time. Life’s hard knocks become lessons learned! The right love will heal your soul! A great read!

loved…
Sometimes it takes one mistake to turn your world around and that’s what happend for Amelia. It wasn’t easy, but she did what she had to do. Quaylon “Ghost” was nothing to be messed with in the streets, and will break your back in the sheets. Definitely loved him!

5/5
I loved this book! Amelia fought so hard to try to become a better person just for people to try to pull back in, and Quay was right on time. She did some stupid stuff but he loved her through it all.
