Crushin' On a Boss 3: The Streets or Love
Aniqa is right on the edge of a living a love like no other, but there’s no such thing as a perfect love, right? No matter how much you stay in your own lane and keep your eyes on your own paper, life will find a way to knock you down and dare you to bounce back. Aniqa learns that first-hand when she tries to put Je’Marcus in her rearview, only to come face-to-face with a mother’s worst fear. Linc has just enough reach and rule to dead even the most powerful foe, but will it all be enough to end Aniqa’s nightmare?
There’s a leak somewhere in the Carmichael operation, and when a family dinner ends in sirens, a SWAT team, and handcuffs, they fear that a most-trusted member of their inner circle might be working with the other side. When Linc learns that Aniqa was dragged into a business vendetta, it’s even more reason for him to make the streets feel his wrath when someone takes revenge a little too far. Will Linc even the score in time, or will this latest attack bring the Carmichaels to their knees?
Beautiful’s heart is telling her to let Savage in, but her mind can’t seem to let go of the devastating blow she was dealt when Tyleek was sent away for a long prison bid. The past never fully stays in the past, though, and when Tyleek surprises Beautiful with something she’s waited years to hear, she finds herself wanting to back away from it all and go back to being solo dolo. Beautiful refuses to have fake people trying to run game on her with fake love, which means Savage will have to put in overtime to persuade her to take a chance on what’s clearly a chaotic love. Can Savage convince Beautiful to take a chance on a new flame, or will the one that got away from Savage convince him to rekindle that old thang that’s been ready and waiting for him to come home?

I couldn’t stop listening! The drama the stories and hidden truths coming to light it was enough to keep me hooked.
Aniqa decides enough is enough and she may not be given another opportunity at life. She decides to leave her boo good baby daddy for good. I was so happy when this happened because I was like maam enough is enough. She has her good friend beautiful by her side and she is dealing with her own relationship or situationship with Savage. This man has her feelings things she hasn’t ever felt before. You know what they say sometimes things are too good to be truth. Linc is also dealing with the family business and he is also realizing there are snakes in the grass and it’s time to get the cutting.
Overall the book is really good I definitely love the series! This author definitely knows how to keep you on your toes. I recommend this series.

As expected, Tysha did not disappoint in this 3rd installment. I'm really digging this series & I'm so glad there will be a part 4. I definitely don't want this story to end ...I need more!
I loved the woman that Aniqua's become. She's learned to trust, love & take care of herself as well as letting the ones who genuinely care for her love her too. I always love it when a story has a HEA ...& so far in this series, Aniqua seems to finally have that happiness she & Essie deserves.
I'm so happy for Essie. I knew she would progress once she was out of that unhealthy environment. She's so sweet & precious. Love her.
Beautiful is my girl. She kinda reminds me of my cousin to the fullest. I loved her character. Her sisterhood with Aniqua was everything. Their love for each other is so powerful. Makes me wish I had a sister (my cousin & I have the same vibe.) Her & Savage are a great couple. I believe they are made for each other. It would be nice for them to have their own story. (Hint. Hint.)
I honestly felt no sympathy for Marcus & his mother. Karma is a real classy Bitch! Tiara definitely needs her head split. Ugh, I can't stand a woman that makes out like she's scorned but never had a title. Foolish chick ...she's cray cray!!!
All those Secrets ...Lord! The light has finally shined through. I'm still not sure everything has been exposed just yet though. Hopefully they can get out all the snakes in this 'family business.'
That amazing surprise Linc gave Aniqua for her birthday was just what I expected. He is most definitely her Prince Charming. Hell, I need me a Linc. His love for her runs so deep. Gotta love the love. Damn, mind blowing!
Great job Tysha! You have gave us drama, love, suspense, secrets, murder & so much more. I loved this installment. I read it all within a couple of hours, in one setting. I just could not put it down. Now how you going to give us this awesome gift on your birthday? Lol. Seriously thou, keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to reading book 4. Y'all must read this series! It's HOT!!! #VIPLiteraryReviews

Omg!!! Yes I so loved part 3. With everything that was constantly thrown at Aniqa it was long overdue for some happiness in her life. Linc stepped up in a major way and proved he could be a much better man than Je'Marcus ever was. As for Je'Marcus, I couldn't feel any type of sympathy for him or his raggedy momma. Tiara really irked me and I wish she'd gotten everything she deserved for the role she played. I'm hoping there will be a spinoff on Beautiful and Savage. I must say at times those second chances hold a lot of value. The ending made me love Linc even more and Aniqa got everything she deserved plus more for crushing on a boss.
December 3, 2016
Aww this truly was a happy ending. I was glad that the baby started talking. I knew the reason why she wasn't talking. Yeaaaa go Anika and Linc!!! That baby touch my heart with her first word lol..
July 25, 2025
The tea! : we found out who took the baby and you never would have guessed, who did it!
Found out who's setting up Pops, Big Link! Boy, what a tangled weave that was!
Savage is the real MVP! His detective work is impeccable!
However, his jugglin, two women and his own secrets, not so much.
Just when we thought Link was going to propose, he surprised Aniqa with her mom!!! I am thinking Momma Promise was run off by her so-called friend and left her daughter with those monsters. She has some explaining to do.
The baby talked! Those moments will always sell, lol! Go head, Pooh!
We're on to part 4 to see how it all ties up.
*Will Beautiful ever leave for the military?
*Will her mom be ok?
*Will she pursue a relationship with Savage when she finds out what he's really into, considering what her baby daddy is in prison for? Or give her baby daddy and love of her life a chance to get it right?
*What did the author mean by "Savage and Tyleek go further back than Beautiful could ever dream..."
*How deep is LaMique's deceit and how will she redeem herself?
Anywayyyss on to the next one...
TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains: toxic familial relationships, manipulation, gaslighting, intimate partner violence, and fighting/violence

This one picked up right where the previous book left off, so I was immediately back in the story. I really enjoyed not having to wait through a bunch of buildup and getting straight back into all the drama and emotions.
I was happy that Aniqa finally got the chance to see her mother again. That was a moment I had been waiting for, but I still have so many questions about Promise. I really want to know what happened to her all those years ago and what caused her downfall. There has to be more to that story, and I’m definitely curious to find out what really happened.
One of my favorite moments was Essie finally speaking. That was so sweet, and I thought it was absolutely adorable that Yinc was the first name she called. That little moment definitely made me smile.
As always, there was plenty of love, drama, complicated relationships, and situations that had me wondering what was going to happen next. Some of the characters had me frustrated with their decisions, but that’s part of what kept me invested. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where things go from here and getting some answers to all these questions!

So loving this series and like the last 2 installments this one is just as good. Great story with great characters and I love they way have grown within this series. So glad of the relationship between Aniqa and Linc and how it developed. The series has had so many twist, turns, secrets, lies and mystery. Can't wait to see what next for Linc, Aniqa, Beautiful and Savage. On the the finale installment.

trouble everywhere
I’m still suspect of Promise, what kept her away for so long. Did Ms. Shirlene have anything to do with it? I hope Aniqa gets all her answers. I can’t wait until that Taria girl is dealt with and Toya sending subliminals. Linc is awesome, I’ll be glad when all this dies down so they can fully build and enjoy one another. Savage and Bee need to get it together

Aniqa
Finally, Anika has been able to somewhat get her life together and back. I just hate that linc took. Marcus out like he did, because that's causing even more drama and trouble for them. Because Lincoln and his daddy got a whole bunch going on, but I'm wondering about the Beautiful cousin and where she comes into the mix in this, as well as Toya and that Instagram post , But this has been a good ride. First time reading this author liking what I'm reading on to the next

The FMC, Aniqa, is someone we all know. She has a small circle but they hold her down like an army. MMC, Linc, gives thug love but in the most gentle way. They go through so much early on, the relationship feel like it's not worth the hassle.
I enjoyed this series, a different tone from our fav urban romance voices. I'll give 4/5 stars only because I like I bit more detail on how problems are solved. Read and enjoy!

Good book
Good book ended kind of crazy but overall this was a good book. Linc is that guy . I'm glad little Essie found her voice. Niq had a hard life but in the end things turn out much better for her.

somethings missing
Has a wonderful storyline it strings you along. I hate the fact that we never got to see some of the other Characters speak. No really cliffhanger.I really believe this author has a lot of potential.

I can't get enough of this well written . The drama is 🔥and there seem to be so many snakes coming from everywhere. Linc is bad and I can't wait to see what happens next. I definitely would love a spin-off of Savage and Beautiful.

Banger from book 1
My review is based on all 3 books. Let me start by saying how much I hated Jemarcus and his family. They were so horrible to Aniqua. She was afraid to leave so that was why she stayed. I loved her friend Beautiful and her mom for being there for her and Essence. Then comes in Bae. Linc was perfect for Aniqua and their love was amazing. I was so glad that she let that wall down and let him in. He loved and cared about her and her daughter so much. I was glad when Jemarcus got what was coming to him. Savage is a savage and I hope there is a storyline for him. And Beautiful soon. Great writing and great characters. Highly recommended

I'm anxiously awaiting the spin-off to see what happen next.. Tysha did not disappoint with this book.. I'm so happy Aniqa got her HEA (well I hope it's a HEA since there's 1 more part).. The lies, drama and deceit in book me thoroughly entertained.. I can't wait see that h**s go down.. For some reason I'm still skeptical of Lamique and Paxton.. Hopefully these secrets Savage is keeping won't be 2 bad bcuz I like him for Beautiful.. Essence ♥ ♥ I'm so happy she was returned unharmed.. Lincs actions spoke volumes of his love fo Aniqa (plz let them remain happy).. I can't wait to hear more from Promise about these crazy ppl she left her baby w/.. Great job Tysha

Yassssss
I am so happy for Aniqa. She finally got the happiness that she so deserved. Linc is really good for her and Essie. When Essie spoke his name, it brought me to tears. Beautiful and Savage are both a little rough around the edges, but they are good together. I'm so glad that Je'Marcus and his mom got what they deserved. Now Tiara needs to get hers. I can't wait to see what will happen next. There is going to be a net right?

Another good read
Man I can't wait to read the update bc I knew it's gonna be filled with drama. Toya is still jealous of Niq even though she had a son by Je'Marcus and Tiara still wants Linc even though he's with Niq. These 2 ladies will not leave them alone. So let the games begin

Great read!
Great read with a lot of loose ends to tie up. I would have like some more details with what happened with Je'Marcus to see how he was dealt with....that was a little too quiet. Looking forward to the loose ends...hope soon! Good read!
