Rate this book
“And though she be but little, she is fierce.”
Shakespeare

Kassie, and Alexia are two sisters who could not be closer. Being the parents of a free spirit and a boss they swore to each other to always be there. Kassie has been in love with Dante for five years. But when she catches him doing the unthinkable she chooses herself and walks away. Alexia has been in love with Jay since the moment they laid eyes on each other, but when he died it ripped her heart out of her chest. However when she relocates to a new city someone from her past shares some valuable information that flips her world upside down. To top it off they’re both hiding something from the ones they love that could change the game forever. Needing each other more than ever do they have what it takes to make it through the unforeseen storm that is coming their way.

Dante is the man in Dallas, and whatever you need you have to go through him. Even though he’s taken a backseat in the game he is still the boss. Dante has everything together and he thinks his world couldn’t get any better. But when he messes up and loses the woman he loves he loses his mind. Stuck between the woman he loves and can’t imagine his life without and the stripper who won’t let go he has some hard decisions to make. Does he fight for what he loves or does he let her fall for a man worthy of her love? What happens with the one who won’t let go, goes too far endangering those he loves? When Kassies secret comes out does he accept it and move on with her or does that give him the ammunition to walk away forever?

Jax and Lacey have been through more than enough in their relationship. Finally getting on track and welcoming a new edition to their family things are going smooth for them. Until those that they love are placed in harm's way. Forever the one to ride for her man Lacey is right there beside Jax’s side, refusing to allow anyone to come in and tear their family apart. Jax is here protector and with her being pregnant he doesn’t hesitate to do whatever necessary for his family.

KJ has more secrets than a lil bit and although Alexia has loved him since forever, the storm that is coming their way is enough to leave everyone’s world destroyed. When enemies come back to play for keeps can he fight his way back to the woman he loves or will someone he never saw coming be his downfall?

With lies, secrets, betrayal and blast from the past coming out of the woodworks do these couples have what it takes to stay in love with hustlers? Or will they realize that maybe they are better off apart. What happens when fighting for the love of a hustler goes drastically wrong?

Couldn’t get through it (SPOILER ALERTS 🚨)

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to finish this book, I just couldn’t. The story just didn’t flow right to me it was choppy. We went from kassie being cheated on by Dante in which SHE CAUGHT HIM..WITH NOT ONE BUT ✌🏿 FEMALES AT ONE TIME having a threesome with NO CONDOM. She leaves and moves out of town and after a week he follows her. Now remember he was having a threesome with a hoe who admits to having sex with ANYBODY with no protection. Kassie automatically starts having sex with him again while pregnant, but doesn’t make him at least get tested first? Like whaaa? Not only that u putting him in yo mouth? The night that he gets there and she called herself being mad she goes in the KITCHEN where ANYBODY can hear her conversation not whispering but talking super loud to her sista about how she let some man give her head and she wish he was her baby daddy and she should get an abortion blah blah blah.. Dante stands by and listen to the whole convo and then he gets mad and leave.. now kassie wants to blame herself for him cheating on her and say she did it first. But that wasn’t the first time he cheated with this girl like i don’t get it.
The whole jay and lexia situation is predictable and for them to continue to allow this man to live is beyond me when y’all supposed to be Queen pins and king pins. We not gone even start with all the grammatical errors, missing words, misspelled words, and using characters in the wrong parts. It’s about to be 2019 these authors should not be making the same errors no matter if they are new or not. I’m sure they’ve read enough comments/reviews to make sure they have a good editor before releasing a book. Like I said I wasn’t able to finish the book because it just wasn’t making sense to me and it didn’t flow well at all. There was more but I’m just gonna end it here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my first time reading from this author. I’m definitely not disappointed, I can’t believe all the stuff that is happening. I pray they get Keva annoying butt, please let them catch Damien. Like what’s really good with him🤦🏾‍♀️ I can’t believe that Lexie found Jay, please let him be ok and happy together.

What a Ride!!

Jax and Lacey are funny. Lexi thought she had love found, lost and found again, only to realize the truth. All I can say is Damien has no clue who his coming for. Eva gave all women a bad name... move on please. Finding who Lexi and Kass really were was surprising.

Jax and Lacey love hard and will do anything for their family. I hope Kassie and the baby are okay. Keva needed to just move on and get over it. I hope Lexi and Jay get away.

Kendra Kendra REALLY

Never would you believe this was a debut book because the flow, the twist, the plot was that of a author of years. I cannot wait for the next part and I hope they get out in time.

My boo did her thing

Excellent debut and I'm anticipating part 2 badly!!! So much drama and so many questions that needs to be answered! Keva needs karma to really hit and I need Damien to get tortured in the worst way! Excellent job with plot and character development!
