The life as a gangster’s daughter has been peachy for Lexus until she meets Xavier or Zay, a new soldier hired by her brother Prince to work for their family. As soon as she meets Zay there is an instant attraction, especially since he played hero for her and her best friend Africa. Zay feels the attraction to Lexus also but has already been warned by her brother that she is off limits. Africa is the jealous best friend who wants what Lexus has but at what cost? Prince is the son who plans to follow in his dad’s footsteps but can he wait for his dad to step down before he takes his spot as king of Brooklyn?

Will Africa be the best friend she portrays herself to be or will her jealousy drive a wedge between her and Lexus? Will Prince’s drama take him to the top or will it be his downfall?

Shady business
I must say this was a good read. I was a little hesitant when she said she was going to do a thug book and a little skeptical but she succeeded. The characters were good, the storyline was even better and the editing was damn near perfect. Smh that Prince is so scandalous. I love Zay character. That Africa got on my nerves quick and she's easily my least favorite character. Lexus is about to have her hands full come part two. The ending wasn't what you call a cliffhanger luckily, but it does properly prepare you for part 2. Poor Big Jim and Tangi I hated that for them. Hopefully them tricks Zoey and Roz get what's coming to them for being jumpoffs. Can't wait for part 2.

Ok read
Not a bad book to read. Jealousy plays a big part in the storyline. Prince wants the throne but the disrespect from his father and the drama with his baby mama and girl stresses him to do the unthinkable. Lexus sheltered an spoiled has it all but when she sees Zay she's in love but with big Jim and prince forbidden him to get involved. Zay now living the life he wanted once showing he's loyal to the family,his life changes. Africa was a snake to plot against her best friend. Zay sleeping with Africa and Lexus was so doggish but telling her the truth causes more drama. Shocking ending for sure.

OMG
This story right here, is so full of life, love and family. I did think that Lexus and Africa was too young to be having sex, but Africa was so conniving and too much to be a true best friend. I fell in love with Xavier he just pulled at my heart, I felt so sorry for him and the life he had before meeting Prince. Prince really changed Xavier's life, but Prince was so heartless.

Dam
This was a really good book. I really enjoyed it and now I can't wait to read book 2. With the ending of the book when big Jim died, I really start thinking that his son Prince had to have been the one to kill he s dad, but that is just my thinking, I can't wait to find out who really did it.

Good read
Nice read. Drama, disrespect, and backstabbing throughout. Crazy how the sometimes the people that are supposed to be there got you are the ones that hurt you the most. There are no words for how ratchet and disrespectful Africa was. Still trying to understand what was going on in the warehouse with Tangi and how long it had been going on.

Olay
It was okay but too short for a real opinion. The story seems like it may turn out to be a good one although maybe predictable. I mean didn't you see this coming with Africa? I'm hoping for something unexpected to happen. I can already see several parts coming if each one is as short as this. Hopefully it gets better in part 2.

I'm in love with a Thug
Africa was just plain nasty. If your best friend was getting on your nerves you should of told her. I'm glad Zay played her the way he did. Now hopefully Zay and Lexus can be happy. I wonder if Prince had something to do with Big Jim accidents

BANGER ALERT
This book was a CERTIFIED BANGER good from the beginning to the end. I was a little mad that it ended so soon but it only adds to my anticipation for the next installment. Hope the wait is not long. #TeamLexus&Zay!!!

Fast paced
This is a fast paced book about young love & entitlement. I understand Zay is young but he was a little reckless sleeping with friends. I believe Prince had his dad killed. It was a few discrepancies but a good read.
