A Hood King Stole My Heart: A Chocolate City Young Love

Rate this book
Keisha McKinley is an 18-year-old beautiful bombshell, born and raised in Southeast DC. While her parents became addicted to drugs, Keisha became addicted to money, clothes, and anything else she could get out of the guys she came across. With her best friends, Laniah and Jess, by her side, she lives the cash life and brings them along for the ride. She believed she could play any man out of money with promises of having her, until she met Black.

Black was one of DC’s top hustlers, who refuses to play her game. This changes her outlook, and she falls for him hard. Her past decisions threaten her life and the lives of the ones she loves. They will cost her a friend, and possibly, her own life. Will she make it out by standing by her man, or will she fall victim to her own greed?

Ummmmmmm

This was a good storyline and had me interested. I trying to figure out who shot her because I'm surely lost but I know once I find out I'ma be like REALLY. Black and Keisha really need to get it together cause they know they want to be together but I feel like these turns of events are gonna bring them back like they never left. Ready for part 2

OMG!

OMG! Keisha is one hardheaded chick. And that mouth of hers is just ridiculous. It caused her to get shot. The way that she treated Black made me want to choke her out. She knows that she wants that man. She needs to get herself together and stop playing games. I hope that he comes to the rescue in part 2.

Wow

A Hood King Stole My Heart: A Chocolate City Young Love: by Ebony Diamond is a good read. This is my first time reading from this author. She did a good job. It's a page turner and drama.

I could related to Keisha because we're both hard headed but she doesn't know how to chill and relaxed. I felt bad what's happened to Lan. Jessi is messy but I'm sorry what's happened to her.

I'm looking forward to reading more books from this author. I can't wait to read part 2 of this book.

Good job:

OMG

First let me start off by saying this book was very good. This is the first book I've read by Ebony, and I promise this won't be the last. I'm a fan of your work now. Second of all I like Keisha cause she has to much mouth nd attitude in her just like I do lol. I hope her and Black work it out cause they were made for each other. Can't wait to read pt 2.

Good Read

I thought this book was very good. I think that Keisha wants to be a grown up but she is only 18. You have to expect her to act the way she acts sometimes but then sometimes she should just be quiet. I hope things work out for her in book two

It's a lot of stuff going on with this book and I love it...I'm wondering who shot Keisha, hopefully Black and Keisha can get it together! I love Denmark for Laniah hopefully they get Antoine and Birdie so they can get married and enjoy their life together.

So I've had this book sitting on my list for some days now & I'm mad at myself for not reading it sooner. This was a very good read! This morning, once I did start reading it, I didn't stop until I was finished! Keisha was live with the drama & there was always something going on when she was around. Black has something on his hands...I thought Laniah was a good sister friend to have. The storyline held my interest & kept the pages turns at a rapid rate. Well written with @ times comical dialogue. While this was my first read by Ebony Diamonds, the ending was a shocker & I'm anxious to know what happens next, so I've decided to go ahead and begin part 2!

Great Read

Keisha isn't a bad person but she need to slow her little behind down. Her wild way's has gotten her caught up in some bs and it is affecting everyone around her. Antoine is out for revenge because his feelings his hurt and even more now with Black in the picture. Jesse has been used as a pawn, Laniah was hurt, and now Black and Demark is on the hunt for Antoine and no one is off limit's. Keisha mouth got her and Black into it. She must of forgot what was going on because she was caught slipping.

Good book

Good book, Keshia was a bold one and Black was just the man to tame her. I just love Laniah, she is down for Keshia and glad she has Denmark in her corner. Antoine was plum crazy, he was sick over Keshia, then her getting with Black really made him flip. Who shot Keshia??? I hope the fellas find Antoine quick cause he real reckless.
