Playing For Keeps: In Love With The Hustle
British McCallister was forced to take on the role as both parents to her little brothers and sisters at a young age. With six mouths to feed, she realizes that a simple nine to five just wouldn't cut it, forcing her to look to the top dealer in Detroit for guidance. British, with a by any means necessary mentality, ultimately takes over, becoming the top drug distributor in Michigan. With great power comes jealously, and with jealousy comes the FEDS. On top of the opened investigation, a new dealer comes to town with cheaper prices, causing more problems for British and her cartel. British being a no nonsense type of woman, orders a hit out on him, careless to the fact that her best friend is in love with him.
Abel took one look at British and I've gotta have her. Little did he know, British wasn't the type of woman to be easily smitten. Unbeknownst to him, the stubborn pit bull in a shirt he's interested in is his connect.
Tazia Barrett is in a dead end relationship with her boyfriend, Hustle, and is waiting for the perfect time to end things. Perfect timing comes in the form of a sexy out of towner named Threat. Tazia falls hard for the sexy thug and forgets all about Hustle, but Hustle feels that he's invested too much time and money into Taz and he's not willing to let her go so easily.
Taz's newfound love brings drama into her life in more ways than one. Especially after she learns that her best friend isn't who she thought she was.

Man this book was action packed from beginning to end. British stepped up as the mother/guardian for her siblings at an early age and placed herself in the position to ensure their well being. This book took on friendship, loyalty, trust and love and really showed the post aspects of love through the relationships between British and Abel, as well as Tazia and Threat. I would definitely recommend this book for reading

Let me say first that i did enjoy that this was a complete series book (both book 1 &2) However, this book was all over the place, and really drug it self out. Brit was a a B and even though she had it rough she was way beyond, and all the guys ...team too much and by time that they all got it together it was over. I was let down with this one.

DRAMA
This book was really good. I've never read anything by Miss Candice, but her coauthor I'm a big fan of. This was surely a page turner. The drama will have you not wanting to out the book down. I hated for it to end. Check this book out, you won't be disappointed.

Great job
Loving the storyline. The beginning of this read had me drawn in and I couldn't put it down. With Taz in the hospital and British being approached by the FEDS, I can't wait for part 2

British is a beast
Running a drug cartel and an executive? British is thorough. She is about to loose it all because of her serious issues. Very good book

All I have to say is....
wow....wow....wow! O...M...G this book was good. I am not really fond of British, but I do understand why she is the way that she is. Only Abel can tame her. I like him for her. As for Threat, he did go left alittle bit but he is a cool dude. Wow, I am not sure how all this is going to pan out, but I can't wait to find out. I wonder who the FBI informant is? I have a few people in mind, but I can't wait to find out. Great job, ladies! Bring on part 2!

Unexpected
When I first picked this book it was because I was trying to find something to read, but once I got started,I was glad I did. Great book. Like how it keeps you wondering what the character is going to do next. Really hated British. I know she's the connect but I just couldn't stand her. I believe it's her brother Frank, talking to the FED'S. Can't wait for Threat and old girl get back together. Don't make us wait too long for part 2.

Yessss
I love Ab and British is fool to not be with him she's letting her pass mess with her future. I also like Threat and it sad that it's not enough room for both of them to eat and Taz is stuck in the middle of it all.

Playing For Keeps
I was just looking for something to read and fell on this book. It was a good read. Abel is the breaker for British. I need Taz to get it together. Hustle is a trip.
