Despite all the warning signs being present, she was willing to follow Moe anywhere. His fast lane life was intoxicating. Travelling the path they were on, it didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control. Lines were crossed and loyalties divided, there were no rules in this game. Fed up with holding the short end of the stick, ‘Miss Goody Two-Shoes,’ was ready to level the playing field. Quickly becoming stuck in a double life, torn between her first love and her new flame. She found herself reevaluating what the easy money, glitz and status in the hood, had cost her. Was she willing to risk both her life, and the life of someone else, for a shot at true happiness? Come on this roller coaster ride with Deanna, and flip through the pages, as she dodges death, while playing a game of tug of war with her heart. Hold on to your seats as Casey Carter takes you through this enticing tale.

I couldn't put it down!

This was a great read. The characters were well defined and all very different. (Time for Omar to break bad). It was unpredictable yet familiar. We've all been one or more of the characters which made it that much more intriguing. If you love a great story of love,lust, and consequences this is it!
