When Jasmine Miller decides she’s ready to experience life outside of New York, a travel nursing gig in Atlanta seems like the perfect move—new city, new money, new men. What she doesn’t expect is the nonstop chaos of Peachtree Memorial Hospital—she’s on the verge of burning out, so love’s the last thing on her radar.
Cash “Money” Banks is the king of Atlanta. Everyone knows his name—or they used to. When money starts going missing, and dirty product starts flooding the streets, Cash realizes people may have forgotten who he really is.
Their worlds briefly collide after an attempt on his life lands him in the ER under Jasmine’s care. And when they meet again a few months later, the spark between them is too strong to ignore. Jasmine swears she won’t fall for another man tied to the streets, but Cash’s done living without something real.
When a ghost from Jasmine’s past resurfaces, lines blur, loyalties get tested, and their love becomes the most dangerous game of all.
Ok Mrs. Taylor with the amazing debut! This book gave me everything I love: steamy romances, hood classic vibes, unhinged levels of brutality. I didn’t see the plot being played out the way it did. I figured out early on who the ops was but I didn’t see the twist and turns that came along with the ride. I pray that she continues to write and I’m definitely a fan.
Ooh baby, this was a WHIRLWIND romance and I loved every second of it!! 🥰 Jas is the nurse who saved Cash’s life and keeps running into him after his stay. He’s everything she’s been avoiding wrapped in an addictive package…and I mean, what’s a girl to do? Exactly what Jas did 🤣🤣
I very much enjoyed this book!! It was funny, had GREAT side characters, and was easy to read! Add this to your TBR FASHOOOOO bookies 🫶🏾
4.5⭐️First let me say, this does not give debut author at all. This book had a good plot, great pacing, and characters that you love and absolutely hate. It was funny, a lil spicy, and definitely frustrating at times. One of my favorite tropes is when a MMC locks eyes with the FMC and immediately says “That’s my wife” BUT the FMC refuses to give him the time of day🤣You always know there will be shenanigans that follow and there indeed were. I loved Cash & Jasmine. Their chemistry was palpable and their banter, top tier. He frustrated me though with his lack of communication at one point and she blew me at one point for not using her big girl brain/intuition when it came to a certain character. Showing how dumb we can be when it comes to leading with emotions. But with that I still loved both characters which is a sign of good writing!
Books with more than 2-3 POVs sometimes gives me pause because it feels like filler, and that we didn’t need to know all of these side character’s thoughts. But here it was well done and gave just enough to leave you wanting a whole other book for them 🤣
I’m excited to see what else comes from this author.
Lived for Cash and Jasmine! I also loved how Jasmine bowed for no man.! You were gonna hear her mouth. She did not care. The scene with Cash and the brass knuckles?! >>>>>>>
I love a FMC who doesn't mind putting her hands on someone.... especially when they disrespect her. And Jasmine is that!
Cash is... a menace. And he loves him some Jasmine.
Once they both got over their egos, they were so cute together! I can't wait for the next book!
The only thing that gets my attention faster than a woman avoiding dating is a man pressed to date her 🤭
Jasmine was quite literally minding her business when Cash burst into her life and her ER on a gurney. Along with his medical team, Jasmine toils over him and his life is spared. Just another day at the office when you're a hospital nurse in a bustling major city. When she runs into Cash in the wild, she can admit he's wildly attractive. Hell, she knew he was gorgeous when she first saw him all those months ago.
When Cash lays eyes on Jasmine, he's immediately drawn to her. He's the de facto king of Atlanta- no one he wants is out of his reach. But Jasmine is giving him a run for his money and... he's enjoying the chase. Cash sets about locking Jasmine down and is unpleasantly surprised to then discovers that Jasmine's past is tangled with some of his very present problems.
This book has action, great banter, spicy interludes, and a great cast of characters. Don't miss out!
I rate this book a solid 3 stars. It wasn't bad but I struggled to finish it. I put the book down plenty of times. I'm trying to figure out what made it difficult to read and I think it's the flow and pace of the story. The way it was put together. It was well-written but I couldn't connect to any of the characters to be invested enough.
I loved the action scenes with Marcus when he kidnapped Jasmine and when CJ assisted Cash to rescue her with his motorcycle crew. I was heavily invested in that part because I wanted to know what would happen next.
I was even curious about Fontaine and Nairobi's relationship. Because the main characters just didn't do it for me. Neither did Jelani and Monica. There weren't enough scenes with them for me to care about their on and off relationship.
The spicy scenes were okay. It wasn't overdone and didn't overshadow the storyline so I appreciated that.
Did Jasmine get the marriage annulled? What happened to Amber? If Jasmine was still married to Marcus, wouldn't she be expected to be at his funeral?
And the ending wasn't really convincing when somehow Cash had time to meet Jasmine's dad to ask for his blessings. It felt like a lot was packed in a short storyline.
For her first book Roxanne did a great job. I'm curious to see what she'll write next and hopefully she'll get some arc readers to help with the pacing and making her characters much more engaging and dynamic. Other than that it was a good read.
I’ve seen this float around social media and decided to give it a try. This being the debut book for this author I would say it was overall a solid urban story. As solid as it was there were things for me did not work in this story.
For me it began to lag when it came to the story around 60-65% into the book. The chemistry between our main characters felt one sided if I’m being completely honest. Cash was all in when it came to what he wanted from Jasmine and at times I was frustrated with how she handled situations. Solutions to problems that this crew were seemed like an easy fix being that Cash has all the money and resources to basically do what he wants in any city and he didn’t use it the any of them. The side characters while I enjoyed them at times there POV’s weren’t needed to me. I say this respectfully, had these characters not stated how old they were I would’ve gone on with the story thinking they were at least 10 years younger than what was stated.
Overall a solid story and I would still recommend this to other readers.
Whew child, when I say this was a whirlwind love, romance, comedy, pack with drama, and action, and oh let’s not forget the saucy and spiciness of this book, thats what I meant. This book gave out all the feels and kept my attention from page 1.
Lil bit about this book is that Jas was Cash’s nurse who got him into surgery quicker when he was shot by someone who wanted him dead (basically saving the mans life) and they keep running into each other, and despite what Jas’s mind tells her about Cash, she still finds herself intertwined with him and fascinated by the charming man. OMG!!, y’all know what? just go read the book, and if you are already in the middle of a couple books, please, please, please, put this on your TBR. You will not regret it.
I don’t typically read new authors, but based on comments and recommendations, I decided to give this book a try. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The FMC, who is supposed to be in her mid-30s, has the mindset of someone in their early 20s, which made her incredibly frustrating to read. I honestly think the story would have worked better if the author had written her as a twenty-something instead.
Cash was far more invested in Jas than she was in him — he did all the chasing and apologizing, even when half the situation wasn’t his fault. Because of this, I have no interest in reading about the other characters, as they all seem just as immature, especially Monica 🙄.
Cash Rules Everything was an amazing read. This book is a real example of how a man is supposed to love and value a woman, no matter his status, power, or background. Cash shows that when a man truly cares, he moves with urgency, protects you, and makes you a priority, and that message really stood out to me.
The story is very well written, and the characters feel real and relatable. The plot keeps you engaged, and the romance is intense but meaningful. I was completely hooked from the beginning and finished the book in just two days because I couldn’t put it down.
Overall, this is a must-read for anyone who loves urban romance with strong characters, emotional depth, and a powerful love story. I highly recommend it!
I had a hell of a time with Cash and Jasmine! This story delivered the perfect mix of spice, an unhinged MMC, and drama. With a name like Cash, you just knew he was all about his money. Jasmine was all about her independence and her own grind and money but not in an annoying way. Cash didn’t play when it came to Jasmine; he knew from the moment he saw her that she was his. Their first meeting was unbelievable, but the chemistry and lust were instant when they run into each other. There were some really good supporting characters I’d love to see more of in future stories.
This story came with crazy ex’s, haters, drugs and violence. Perfect combo of romance and street life.
Can’t wait to see what comes next from Roxanne Taylor !
Jasmine Miller had me SKRESSSSED, 36 years old acting the way she was acting!! Her get back game was weak, but she kind of sort of redeemed herself. Cash, though? Meant business. That man was not playing about Jas at all. Protective, locked in, and standing ten toes down. But listen… Jelani stole the show for me. Baby got a few loose screws and shoots first, asks questions later. This was a new to me author, and whew… a time was definitely had with The Banks Brothers. The pacing was fast, but not reckless you still get enough character development to stay invested and connected. Overall, this one kept me on my toes and had me ready to see what’s next.
-I hate the love aspect of this book because I don’t believe that shit. -Hated that this nigga was just at a strip club rubbing a bitches feet he used to fuck and then finds his way to Jasmine’s house and puts those same hands on her face(I don’t know if he washed them. Probably didn’t because he a nigga). -they made no emotional connection whatsoever for me to believe that they were in love. -liked the Marcus and all Cash’s people being snakes part of the book. That was interesting and kept me invested. -the interest died as soon as he kidnapped her and too her back to New York. Lasted a lot longer than it should’ve
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Someone recommended this book in a FB book group and I said let me give a try. Read/listened to this book in 1 day (barely got any work done lol) . It has everything I like in a book a lil bit of bang bang 🔫💪, a lil bit of 🌶️, a lil bit of the napping and rescue, a duh lulu ex, a tad bit unhinghed I don’t play about her MMC , strong independent boss FMC, and all the god feels of ❣️….. I can’t wait to see whys the next installment to the Banks Crew. Now go one and download this well put together read!
The story was good. My main issue was the FMC was too into herself and didn’t acknowledge her own faults. I almost put the book down when she was mad at Cash after she was hugging and giggling with Marcus. I am all for a woman who is strong and knows how to stand up for herself, however, growth is important in character development. She got away with too much reckless behavior and tantrums.
At the start of the story it started like every other urban story, so much so that I kept having to check back in my line of books to make sure I haven’t read this before. It seems this is a newer author and needs time to grow and develop her own writing style, even with that being said the story kept me engaged and wasn’t repetitive. I’m looking forward to reading more about the Banks Crew.
1.5⭐️ At the beginning of the book, I really like the storyline and I was totally into it. Then the author put in a scene that made no sense. It made me really dislike Jasmine. I think that the love really felt one-sided. Like Cash was all the way in and loving her and Jasmine was messy, selfish, and stupid. I really struggled with the rest of the book because I really disliked her. I can’t wait till the author comes out with Fontaine and Nairobi’s book.
This was my first read by this author and I was definitely satisfied with the story. Cash was walking BDE, he set his sights on Jasmine and never let loose. Jasmine was not dumb, she gave Cash a run for his money, but ultimately love won. Marcus was delusional and got what he deserved. I hope Jelani and Monica get a book. I also hope Fontaine gets his butterfly Nairobi!! Five stars Ms. Taylor!!!
Fast paced and dramatic, but Jasmine seriously tested my patience with her choices and secrecy. The tension stayed high, the danger felt real, and one character was unsettling. Cash, showed up when it mattered most. If you like messy characters and nonstop drama, this will keep you turning pages.
Yea, I’m going to have to end it here. I’m at page 135, I’m enjoying the story but I don’t like stupidity and no disrespect to the author not at all the writing is awesome but I can’t finish. I can’t stand an FMC that knows she fucking up messing with her but she still does it knowing her crazy Alpha ass MMC gone go beast when finds out
I got this book recommendation from TikTok (of course), this was a good one. I thoroughly enjoyed the ups and downs and topsy turvy things that took place. I am glad there will be another in the series (perhaps already out) because I want to know what happens next in the friend group. If you love urban romance that make sense, this is one that you may enjoy. I did!
4.5⭐️ now this book definitely was a ride!! I love the instant attraction and when the man is just not playing behind fear ever!! FMC these days be real immature in moments but it’s worth pushing through!
I loved the other characters. I laughed out loud. I went through all of the emotions.!
I could definitely see a follow up book on maybe the Brother and even Fontaine.
The authors note had me hooked (they sure did)! As soon as I read it I knew the book had to be good. This was my first 5 star read this year. So many twists and turns, loved the action and spice, solid characters and so much plot to build off of for future books! Congratulations on your first book Roxanne!!🩷 we’re feenin for another one already.
What a debut novel. It is so well written, well edited, and so entertaining. Cash aka Money Banks does rule everything especially Jasmine’s heart from the very beginning. I. Like the different POVs and the pace of the story. All in all, this is a very good book and I hope that we get stories from the supporting characters in the next books.
What a coincidence that yo new man that ain’t officially your new man ends up beefing with your ex who you didn’t know was out of jail. That’s some crazy stuff. Good read but I didn’t like how it seems like it took forever to handle Marcus. They had plenty of opportunities to get at home.
Here's your flowers, Mrs. Taylor! The story was captivating from the first sentence. I read the entire book in one day. I cannot WAIT to read Nairobi & Fontaine's story.
This was my first time reading this authors work and she did not disappoint. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and hated for it to end. Can’t wait to read more!
I ate this book down!!!! Now when Jasmine fucked that no good felon I screamed and almost threw my kindle but I definitely skipped that part 🤷🏽♀️😂 because how that happen girl!!!! Anyway, I love me some Cash! He is that 🥷🏽 and will always be that 🥷🏽…..loved the proposal!
This author is new, and when I tell you she came out the gate swinging. This is her first book, and she didn't disappoint. The book had everything. It kept my attention. Im excited to read more from her, can't wait for next book. Cash character was great!
