Hold Me Down
In the world of love, fast money and guns, life is a gamble, and in order to survive it, you have to be all about your poker chips. However, that didn't scare a slick talking go getter like Spring Stewart. What and who she wanted, she got. She lived life teetering on the edge, but always came up on top...usually. When a robbery goes bad and she is arrested for a double homicide, everything goes downhill and the only person she can depend on is her sheltered twin sister, Summer. Will Summer have the strength to pull her sister out of the line of fire, or will the bloody street life be too much for her to handle? In this tale of lies, love and deceit watch how two worlds collide. Will the girls and the men who love them end up behind bars...or worse. Dead. Find out in the latest novel by National Bestselling author Blake Karrington!!!

Hold Me Down
Mr. Karrington you have done it again. This book was good. I was surprised Vick did what he did, but that's where greed comes in. Another person who let greed overrule common sense was Benny. He tried to play both sides of the fence and that will be his downfall. Summer stepped up to the plate when she was needed the most, and she didn't disappoint. Two heads are always better than one when it comes to the TAKERS. My heart was racing as I got closer to the end of the story, so I'm anxious to continue the story.

Never disappoints
I have been reading Blake Karrington's books from day one and I must say he never disappoints. This book had all of the elements of suspense, hood love, murder, and mayhem. I was engaged from page one to the last page and hopefully I won't have to wait too long for part two. So if you are looking for a good read look no further because you've found it!!!! Great Job!!!

Has Potential
I was feeling this story. I already knew it was going to be a series because it was taking awhile to get going. This was different. I like the sister act that's going on here. There's a lot of drama and action that I see getting better in the next part. I didn't like how it left off though, that could've been better. I hate when a story just stops leaving you with nothing to think about. I will read on to see what happens.

.No Let Down!
Blake Karrington did not let us down with this one. It was truly OG from the beginning to the last page. These are two bazaar sisters and a ride and die crew. Plenty of action here.
