The Beautii Behind Magic: An Original Love Story
Meet twenty two year old Beautii Gates, born and raised in Miami Florida. Beautii is left to fend for herself after her parents die, and her brother Jordin is sent to prison. With a baby to take care of and no one to depend on but herself, she starts working at a strip club.
Lauren Green is Beautii’s best friend and one of the only people that she can count on. But Lauren has her own sordid past that has turned her heart cold. Disowned by her parent’s after revealing a scandalous secret, the only person she has to turn to is Beautii.
Javian “Teach” McKnight is the head boss on the streets of Miami, and is as ruthless as they come. A night out with his home boys unexpectedly leaves him infatuated with Lauren. Never one to have been in love, he doesn’t know what to make of his feelings. Will they be good for each other? Or, is this relationship doomed from the start?
Carter “Magic” McKnight is new to the Miami area, just moving there from Texas to be closer to his brother Teach. Left to raise his daughter on his own when his girlfriend disappeared without a trace, Miami is a good move for him. His first day in town he meets Beautii and is momentarily left speechless.
Their lives are entangled and these four form bonds that can’t be broken. But things change when Beautii’s brother is released from prison. Someone is out to get Magic, but who? For Beautii things aren’t as they seem and a blast from the past is lurking in the shadows. Lies, deceit, secrets, murder and more come to light. Will bonds be broken or will these couples be able to stand the test of time?

Kyoshi wrote the hell out of this book. That Magic was a straight up boss and I loved how he protected his girl. I am so ready for part 2

I need more stars!!!
I don't even know where to begin. This book reeled me in from the first page. I had a vested interest in learning about Beautii, Lauren, Magic, Teach, and Jordin. From the beginning to the end I was enthralled. Authors take note this is how you right a best seller. I can not wait until pt. 2 comes out. Please don't make us wait long. The character development was great, the plot and cast of side characters was on point. Every event that happened in the book helped to build to the climatic finish. Never a dull moment.

Not bad at all…
I could’ve done without all the repeat intros for everyone and the secrecy of who or what was going on but overall this was an okay read. I was hoping it didn’t turn silly with all the talk about the girls having all this training but Lauren sure was getting her tail handed to her so that threw the storyline off a bit. Then for Pressure to come out but claimed to still be on top of things while away and not knowing what was going on with Beautii was again silly. It needs a little work but overall it was okay to follow along with. I’d read the next one.

I love Carter and the way he loves Beautii the chemistry they have is everything..also Lauren and Teach are made for each other,I'm ready to find out why Ryan did everything he did also about this Noel chic and what she has going on I hope she's not Ryan's boss...Do he and Magic know that they're both look for her? Also what's going on with Beautii's parents?

I love this book. Typical hood book. The author did a great job with descriptions and putting you right in the scenes. I also like that we were introduced to everyone in this first book. That leaves room for a lot of spin offs. I can't wait for the second one. I have got to stop reading these books until the whole series is finished!

The Beautii Behind Magic: An Original Love Story
The storyline was good but I expected better development of the characters from Kyoshi, the writer. This read as if the novella had a due date and the relationships were carbon copied. It seemed rushed and needed to be proofed before it was published. Also, there was that predictable ending...to be continued. Three ***.

Good read!
I thought this was a standalone, but I guess not! The drama kept coming and coming. I'm sure part 2 will be awesome.
