When growing up in Brooklyn, the first rule of survival is to get it by any means necessary.
At Seventeen years of age and fresh out of high school, Royal has had to work at a local strip club to make sure that she and her sister have whatever they need in order to maintain. Royal is all about making money and looking for a way out. There isn’t anyone that she has her eyes set on until she ends up meeting Pharaoh while returning home one night.
At first, she downplays their blossoming relationship letting it be known that they’re just friends. Pharaoh plays along and figures that she’s just not your average chick, but he quickly switches things up on her and starts dating a girl name Bia. Just like Pharaoh knew she would, Royal shuts that relationship down and claims Pharaoh as her own.
With a Love so unique and seemingly everlasting, one would think that things would be smooth sailing for the two of them. However, with a scorned ex-lover and a jealous best friend, the outcome will not turn out pretty.
Join Royal as she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders and does what only a Brooklyn Bitch can do to make it out alive.

Kellz Kimberly 24, fell in love with urban fiction after reading 'Baby Girl' by Jihad. The was only the first of many urban fiction novels she fell in love with. Eventually Kellz took her love for reading it and redirected it to a pen & paper. Dropping her first book in 2014 Kellz Kimberly has been building a name for herself ever since. With 27 books under her belt & 9 of them being Amazon Urban Fiction Number One Best Seller, Kellz Kimberly is just getting started.
She is slowly but surly taking the Urban fiction world over by storm. She recently took home the AAMBC BreakOut Author of The Year award, solidifying her as a force to be reckon with. This is only the start for Kellz Kimberly, she is always working and coming with new material to give readers then same feeling she got when she read her first urban fiction book.
Not only is she an author but she is a publisher as well. She works with her authors to help them pursue their dreams and encourages them to tell their story in a form of another story.
At only 24 she has accomplished a lot but she's nowhere near done with her list of goals. For her writing is so much more than just telling a story. It's about being able to have a reader full in love with a set of characters so much that they feel invested in the book. For her that is the greatest feeling of.
The best way to sum up Kellz Kimberly is 'She Writes, She Grinds, She Slays"
This was a decent read. I love me some Royal ands how no matter what she was there for Paige. At first I like Justice but that quickly change. I can't wait for part 2 because I know it more to really went down at the end.
Pretty cool book quick lil read I do think their relationship jumped of pretty quick . Royal is so damn stubborn sometimes she need to let it flow .. Love her relationship with her lil sister . Her and her mother relationship could have been better . Oh I wanted to jump in the book and smack justice hating butt . The book got real good towards the end part 2 is gone really pop off would recommend this book
Lol Im soooo speechless. Royal killed bae. Justice ass really irked me though so killing her wasnt a problem but pharaoh?? Lol but I just hope she don't go down she killed two people so chances are she is lol i can't wait for part 2
At 17 Royal had to take responsibility for her little sister Paige because her piss poor mother Aria neglected the both of them. Royal was working a job she was too young for to make ends meet. Pharaoh came into Royal life and helped change it but he had some baggage as well. Bia was definitely thirsty when it came to Pharaoh. From the moment Justice was introduced as Royal best friend. I didn't like her. Justice was very jealous of Royal. From her giving Zaylen Royal phone number, Aria finding out Royal work, and Bia screaming out Royal personal business. That has Justice name written all over it.
Royal was the epitome of what a woman should be, even at a her age! To think that the people she loved her was heartbreaking. Justice was the worst type of friend. This story wasn’t your everyday read. The love has for her sister Paris is everything. I know Pharoah’s situation will work out, especially because of he loved the girls. On to part 2
This is a new author for me. I couldn't put it down; it grabs your interest right from the first chapter. This book is beyond amazing. Miss Kellz, you did your thing. I honestly can say that you've made my list of favorite authors. I jumped into the second book immediately. Grab this read; you won't be disappointed.
Omg i loved Royal & Pharaoh’s relationship 🤗 I’m hoping like hell Justice or Pharaoh didn’t die! As much as i don’t want to see it happen but i think Royal is going to end up dealing with her high school sweetheart!
I’m not really feeling this storyline. It moved too fast for my taste. But I do have an interest in seeing what happens next so I guess I’ll try part 2 🙄🙄🙄
Wow!!! I liked Royal for stepping up and taking care of Paige but her attitude sometimes was too much. Aria was sickening and I wanted her to go away. In the beginning I thought Justice was cool but that soon changed. From the jump I could tell Pharaoh was that dude. He took a chance and saw the potential Royal possessed. Bia was too damn thirsty. No matter what happened, she could never take the hint. I liked Emerie as well because she was ready for whatever. Adira told Royal the things she needed to hear regardless of how stubborn she was. My how quickly Justice showed her true colors! She was hating because she was only good for one thing and had no type of drive. Royal was stupid for that last move. I felt like it she kept it real with Pharaoh like he asked then a lot could've been avoided. I don't feel bad at all for Justice but Royal should've trusted Pharaoh enough to know he wouldn't do anything like that to her. So now I want to know is Pharaoh going to be alright, does Bia think she's won, will Adira break her foot off in Royal's ass for the stunt she pulled, how will Pharaoh handle the situation, and will Royal realize she could've handled things differently and finally try to get things right for the sake of Paige?!
This was an ok read for me. Pharaoh was the highlight of the story for me. He was that dude no questions about it. A straight shooter and honest, I love it. Royal was a young chick who clearly was ready to deal with a real man. She self sabotaged and let other ppl dictate her relationship a little bit. Adria was a great mother loved her. Aria not so much. Bia was straight delusional and thirsty. But she was good for the drama. Justice was a straight ratchet. I figured her out from jump. Zalen is irrelevant and I know, he's bound to start trouble. Overall good read, minor editing errors, interesting characters even though one seriously irritated me. Part two should be interesting seeing how part one ended.
Royal was dealt a hand in life,having to raise herself and little sister while stripping because her mother would rather drink and chase men. Justice was never a true friend to royal,she was always throwing shade about her being a stripping she was taking care of her sister while she just laid on back. Meeting pharaoh was a blessing to her. Royal now working in a hair salon is living a better life for her and Paige along with pharaohs help. Bia a straight hater needs to keep her mouth shut. Emerie is a good friend to royal. Everyone loves Paige. That ending tho I think was a setup but I need answers can't wait for part 2
I liked this story but I think royal was just a little too trusting , and the book went really fast , especially the relationship with her and her best friend . I would have liked a more in depth explanation on why justice felt some type of was about royal . Gibson know if I trust her mom and bia needs to get a life , like you ain't even get the D And you was trippin . I can't wait for part two so i can see what happened to royal and pharoah
I wasn't going to read this book at first, but I'm glad I did. Royal was an independent woman, but she needs to loosen up. Bria was just plain desperate. Justice was suppose to be a friend to Royal, but she wasn't. She was a jealous individual. Royal needs all the support she can get after what she did.
The book started off great with Royal getting out of the stripper world (at seventeen?)with the help of Pharaol and slowly falling in love. So to end the book like that was like throwing ice on someone while they were sleeping. I do not want to read part two because as far as I can see, it ended too tragically..
What a ride. I was not expecting that ending. I have to say that Royal was very mature for seventeen. Pharoah came along just in time. I really liked their relationship. Justice really was a hater. It's sad that Justice couldn't support Royal who had a rough upbringing. I recommend this book and can't wait for Part 2.
THIS SOME STRAIGHT BULLSHIT REALLY HOW DO ONE BECOME SO NAIVE AND DUMB I CANT TAKE IT I HOPE LIKE HELL THIS DUMB GIRL AINT LET TRUE LOVE GO LIKE THAT BUT WHY DID HE LET HER IN THE HOUSE JUST DUMB
I loved this book read it in one night when is part 2 coming I wondering what will happen to Royal. And I hated all those thirsty ass females get a ducking like. But I really enjoyed this book overall
This book was so dang good I could not put it down. I am in love with Pharaoh and I rocks with Royal. I cannot wait for the next installment and I hope it doesn't take to long to drop..
Why Royal??? Pharaoh didn't deserve that, but that bitch Justice was never your friend. The cliffhanger at the end could have been better that's why I gave 4 stars. Can't wait to read part 2
Omg I thought it was a dream when she killed them I can't believe ittttttttttttttt lol loved it needs to be a dream in part two something just ain't right lol I can't handle the pressure lol
I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. I definitely have a lot of respect for Royal for caring for her younger sister. Pharoah is definitely a sucka for love for sure. This read definitely captivated my attention for sure. #PageTurner #BookOnFleek #ForSureFan #GreatRead
I loved this book from beginning to end. I can't believe that justice showed Royal that much shade. She hated the fact that royal made a come up. That ending left you confused and shocked
I liked the storyline of this book. Royal has hard to grow up fast and she has taken it like a responsible adult. I am so glad her and Justice are no longer friends but I wish something bad would happen to Bia.
