The Right Kinda Hood #1-2
Right Kinda Hood
Eastland Joseph better known as “East” to anyone outside of family, has the respect of the streets and the knowledge of a kingpin. His past life experiences have made him the man he is today. It was never glamorous but it was necessary. Forced to be the man of the house at a young age, East has always handled business and family before anything. Settling down with one woman, has never fit into the hierarchy of his needs.
Joi loves hard and at times too much. Her loyalty has kept her in a relationship with a man who does not value her as he should, but with no evidence of any wrong doing, Joi cannot bring herself to leave. Having something at the end of the day is better than nothing and Joi only has gut feelings.
Joi’s best friend, Nyelle is all about her son. After news of her long time boyfriend’s infidelities comes out in the worst way, she is no longer concerned with a relationship. Taking care of home and making sure her son is happy is her only focus.
In Vega’s mind it will always be loyalty over anything. That mind frame caused him to lose three years of his life. Now that he is home, Vega’s way of thinking has changed. No longer concerned with the fast life, Vega is ready to try something different
Each of these four have their own insecurities and doubts that they have to work through in order to see what’s in front of them. Each guarded for their own reasons, they must decide if the potential benefits of a new relationship outweigh the risks. Will they decide to take that leap or will the past stand in the way of what could be a beautiful future?

Whew awesome story
This was a very interesting story one I enjoyed alot. I wished there was more to it seems like the ending should have ended differently. I would have like to no what happened with them and the babies, and their careers. But the story was very good never the less. Miss Mills you never seems to amaze me with your writing skills. You no how to write to make a person feel as if they are right there in the story, that's what I love about your writing. Keep up the awesome work and I will continue to read your work as well as place myself right there. Lata

Yes!
East and Joi; Noyelle and Vega.... Great couples! East is the leader in their relationship, but Joi can/will stand her ground! I couldn't believe that her aunt was married to the plug! Noyelle was the perfect baby momma to Reese, but he just was in his feels that she finally got with a real man and in turn has their son suffering. Well not really cause Daddy Vega got him no matter what! Great book!

Excellent
This was an excellent read!! I loved these characters. Now, I want to see more of Joi, East and the crew and the folks from Forever Tru. Not too many typos either. I loved how she took a look at trauma and mental health as well. Looking forward my next read.

I love Joi and Ny. They had a great friendship
I knew it was something crazy about Ria.
Eastland was a great guy and I love Vega. His personality shows he would be fun to hand around.

Definitely the Right Kinda Hood
I loved this book! Vega & Ny’s story was beautiful played out as well as East & Joi’s story. It really goes to show you that when a man is ready for you...he’s willing to do the work for you.

Loved it!
This book had it all! Romance, drama, and action. I liked that the women the 2 main women in the story were independent and were doing their own thing. Tia should have taken a cue from them. I really loved East. Great read!

Joi and Nyelle found love with East and Vega, better than what their exes gave them. I'm glad Joi realized Ria wasn't a true friend but just an associate that she needed to handle with a long handed spoon.

Joi and Ny was really good friends. So happy for Vegas and East. Ace and his father wanted East to spending time with their dad. A beautiful ending

The Right One
This was good from start to the end. East is definitely the man and Vega is not far behind. I like that both men received the woman they didn't know they needed. I really enjoyed this book, it gave you a little bit of everything.

East and Joi....
Vega and Nyelle, they were so cute even though the ladies were kind of annoying with all the doubts like neither man gave them any reason to doubt how much they wanted them but they let old baggage keep them from trusting both Vega and East which is why I gave it four stars instead of five.

Great Read
❤ East, Joi, Vega & Nyelle. Thos book was well written with great characters. There's nothing sexier than a man that will protect thier women at all cost. I loved seeing their relationships develop and KC made me feel like I was right in the story with them.
