Good read !!

This read held my attention all the way . I took a star away cause of the errors . I really want to know if there will be a part 2 . Even though the story was little embellished at times the relationship that wolf and bri had was crazy and sweet at the same time . I will be looking for more reads from this author

Thug passion is no joke

An entertaining page turner. Briana was a good girl and had a solid friendship with her best-friend Persia. They were young, but not totally naive. Once Wolf and Tone enter their lives, thug passion rules everything around them. It ended without a cliffhanger. Yet, the author could come back and pick up where she left off.

Good urban read! Storyline held my attention as Adonis & Tone were relentless with their chase to capture Bri & Persia. It seems there's more to these guys than meets the eye- especially Adonis! Looking forward to see what happens next with these couples.

Amazing

The book was so good wont disappoint and will have you wanting to turn the pages that faster.Brianna and Persia having a night out changes their world when the two ruthless brothers spot them and stake claim they have no idea what their getting into. Adonis and Ramses or in the streets as wolf and tone show the girls what's it's like to be with them. Turk is crazy and has no filter. Nino is so jealous that he has an obsession with Briana that he does the unthinkable. Mrs. Barbara is og for sure and she tells it like it is. Persia and briana both bring it the best in the guys but also the worse when drama hits . Great job briana with this book

A Kingpins Dream

This was a pretty good book with a few minor errors but I still enjoyed it. I liked Briana and Persia with Adonis and Ramses. Even though Adonis and Ramses had that thug mentality they proved to be some good dudes. Grams was everything and I loved her character. She kept it real at all times and didn't hesitate to put anyone in their place. Nino was just too sickening and let his hatred convince him to cross the ones that always looked out for him. He could've handled things so much differently and accepted the fact that he would never be in a relationship with the one he wanted. Persia and Briana made some very dumb mistakes towards the ending by taking things too lightly. I couldn't believe Persia was willing to help Ivan after everything he put her through and not keeping it real with Ramses. I expected Briana to handle things differently especially after the talk Barbara had with her. She didn't think things through at all and played right into what Nino wanted her to. Kenya was just a dumb, thirsty chick that should've accepted she would never be with someone of Adonis' caliber. I'm not sure if there will be a part 2 but it would be nice to see if Kenya gets what she deserves for her role in everything and if the kingpins dream will have anymore interruptions. Adonis had to bring Wolf out to show Briana he wasn't playing any games and got rid of a snake in the process.

Highly Recommended

Great Book!!!, the story makes you want to tune everyone out and just read. The characters were fun, interesting and the visual description makes you weak. Adonis was made for Bri, but Wolf is who I want.!!!! This story is different from typical hood romances, because the female's role was strong and intelligent, not just a accessory to the men. Love, Love, Love this book!!!

Absolutely phenomenal. I enjoyed this book fro. beginning to end. No lie my favorite character was Turk. He had me dying with laughter. Adonis & Ramese character was insanely physco fareal. Nonetheless, they told Briana & Persia they don't play, guess they learned the hard way. Another gangsta love story. Very impressed with your work Ms. Briana Crosby. I look forward to reading more of your reads.

Intense

Who's afraid of the big bad Wolf? Adonis was intense. Enjoyed the story, except. Bri had been uncomfortable with big dude the whole time but as soon as old girl pulls that stunt at the nail shop, all that discomfort leaves and she runs off with the creeper. My nerves were bad because I didn't know what he was going to do. I really could have used a one year later epilogue.

El Loco

Overall a good read. Definitely provided entertainment. The two main male characters were so crazy. Wait--- all the males were crazy now that I think about it. Anyway I loved the two main characters at first, but their alter egos were very extreme. Also the book ends which is always a plus for me! No Part 50 for this book. Will look for more work from this author.

A Kingpin's Dream

This book to me was nothing like the title implied. Adonis was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Ramses was just as crazy. Briana and Persia are in the relationship for eternity whether they like it or not. I wanted to give the book 5 stars, but there were too many errors. I hope to read more books by Briana Crosby.

True bosses

I absolutely loved this story. Adonis ruled with an iron fist but was soft vas putty for Bri. I loved the coupes relationships. Tone and wolf was some true bosses. This is a must read true love always prevails even for the rude and cocky.

Good until the end

This book was great up until the end! That ending was extremely lame, which is why I gave it 4 stars. However, everything else was good!!! I will still recommend this!
