What happens when you look for love in all the wrong places? Ask Mílan Baxter, twenty-eight year old promiscuous hood famous Diva. Known for her exotic body and numerous lovers, Mílan was just looking for love in the wrong place. Her hometown was in Newark, NJ - a.k.a. Brick City. While trying to fill a void created by her absent parents and a former lover, who was behind bars, Mílan all but gave up on love. Instead she fills her void with sex, money and men. New lovers become memories of yesterday and Mílan’s left trying to fill that void once more. That was until she met the Greek God, Carter Michaels.
Carter Michaels was living the perfect, domestic life. Married to the love of his life and expecting their first child. Nothing was more perfect. But deep inside Carter was unhappy, and secretly missing the thrill of living the fast life. When a call from his brother, Cree, offered him an opportunity back into the life he once lived, he jumped without a second thought. Leaving the bore of his domestic life behind, Carter jumped back into the streets like he never left. What Carter never expected was to meet Mílan, let alone fall in love.
All hell breaks loose when Mílan’s former lover is released. He wants all that once belonged to him.
In this love story, lies are revealed, hearts are broken, friends become foes and love becomes a battle in Brick City.
To say this is Chanelle's first book it was fairly good. There wasn't too many errors and I can honestly say I love Carter the most. Even though Milan had a reputation I liked the fact she didn't just settle and put up with anything. Cree and Tanika's relationship was a bit dysfunctional but I think things will eventually work themselves out after everything they've been through. Nas needs to let the past go and move on with his life. It wasn't like he was the most faithful to be demanding what he expected. Sharae, Jamaya, Veronica, and Brenda all pissed me off. Jamaya thotting behind took things too far, especially since a part of her knows she'll never get what she's seeking. I can't wait until Veronica's role is revealed and she gets what she deserves. Carter is crazy for real but I enjoyed when people pissed him off and he had to show another side. Hopefully it's not too late for Milan because if things are good for Carter and Cree then brick city is sure to have some serious destruction along the way.
By the time I finished this book I was breathing hard and sweating. This book pulled me in from the very start and never let me go. I don't know-how to feel or what to think but I'll definitely be waiting for the drop of part 2. Authorizes Chanelle Alexandria AWESOME BOOK!!!!
Great read and great storyline. Loaded with drama and more drama that had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. And I definitely can't forget the hot sex, scandal, lies, twist and turns in this fast paced plot. i didn't know how to feel and what or which way to think. Waiting for PT.2. GREAT Debut Chanelle Alexandria..
This book is not your typical love Story, because there are secrets at every turn, that are revealed. I was pleasantly surprised by all the drama and I'm looking forward to the sequel. I highly recommend this book.
