Syn #1

Syn: Sex Is Syn, Love Is Pain

Rate this book
Angel Williams had a hard life growing up. With a junky for a mother who would sell her just for a quick fix and an absentee father, life was unbearable. At a young age, Angel learned to fend for herself to survive this cold, cruel world. With her less than perfect childhood, it's no surprise that her attempts at love failed; making her come to the realization men DON'T love, they only care about the pleasurable favors one could offer them. To endure heartbreak and the life that was forced upon her, she created an alter ego... SYN.
Syn, unlike Angel, was built to deal with any situation. The only thing that mattered to her was sex and money.

Good read

I do find it irritating that all I see is Angel name all down the book, as soon as I see somebody else name pop up, I’m like THANK GOD. That girl is so childish. Lord what could you possibly do to show this girl that every man ain’t the same. She’s very hard head and call her self grown, girl you out here acting like a teenager with that mouth of yours. Smh but I like her I just wish she wasn’t so stuck on the past and not hurting Leon, girl Leon don’t care about you , u broke it off with him he tryna harm you. Then you leave home and call yo self working at the same club Leon know you work at. Girl you is just dumb. Lol

Loving Parker

I think I’m liking their relationship better than any of the others. Parker is a manly man without being a jerk. I don’t have to wonder why Syn is falling for him.

Let me just keep it all the way real, I honestly DID NOT THINK THAT J PEACH COULD TOP A DANGEROUS LOVE!!!! That's it point, blank, period, the end. I wasn't doubting her writing prowess I just honestly didn't think that she could create a set of characters to come anywhere close to the love that I have for Blaze and Peaches. Well, I am woman enough to stand up and shout loud and proud: SHE DID THAT Y'ALL!!! She surpassed every single one of my doubts, reservations, killed them dead and buried them in the graveyard of forget me nots. Now let me get serious I love Parker and Syn together. Love, Love, Love, and yes LOVE them together. From the very first page to the very last I was intrigued and captivated. I finished the book several days ago and was determined to wait until I could give my UNDIVIDED attention to typing up my review to convey the overwhelming feelings of completeness that I felt upon flipping the last page on my kindle. I typically give away spoilers in my reviews(Not intentionally mind you) but I get overly excited and say more than what I should. I just WILL NOT spoil the experience for the next reader. What I will say is if you are looking for a book that will have you on an emotional roller coaster ride, acting as if you need a mood stabilizer to figure out whether you should be happy, sad, emotional, laughing like a hyena, and crying like a drunken jag? Then you can STOP your search this is it!!! Ms. J. Peach has shown us what it means to attain the status of literary royalty. Her pen has been kissed and blessed by the gods that be. To take characters that we clearly all loved from a well-established series and write a spin-off that is equally just as relevant takes a talent not often seen in this genre. There are only a few that come to mind that can match Ms. J. Peach's writing prowess. I absolutely CAN NOT wait to see what you have up your sleeves for Syn and Parker. This is one reader that will be riding until the last wheel falls off and even then HUNTI I'm pulling out the Fred Flintstone feet and kicking my way to the nearest Amazon page to one-click on whatever you have coming out next. GREAT JOB Ms. J. Peach!! Great Job!!!! Please don't make us wait too much longer to see what is going on in the world of Syn and Parker.

Absolutely A Great Read.

Right from the beginning of the book I knew I was not going to be able to put this book down until i read it from beginning until the very end. I was captivated with the characters right from the very first page. The characters was so well developed that I felt like I knew them personally. I was so emotionally connected with the characters while reading this book that at times I would catch myself laughing out loud at the antics of Syn and her friends and at other times crying at what both Syn and Parker had to go through with their parents when they were kids. But the biggest surprise turned out to be Leon and his psycho self. The storyline is great and I can't wait for the next installment I hope I don't have to wait to long. Once I finished I just set back mad because it had ended leaving me wondering what was going to happen exit. This definitely a must read you will get your money worth and more.

......this series remind me of A Dangerous Love by J. Peach... there's all the characters in the book, but this series focuses on Angel. Angel is a female that is guarded, with a mother that put drugs before her daughter. Angel is going to school in the criminal justice field, and feels that everybody expects something from her. She adores her circle of friends, because they friends are her family.

Angel at night is Syn. Syn is an exotic dancer, that's making ends meet, and she takes nothing serious... she's all about her money. You can call her a little of a slut, but she doesn't make any moves with her benjamins first. Syn meets Parker, ( who's persona reminds you of Blaze), and Parker is doing his best to win Angel's heart.

This review is from: Syn: Sex Is Syn, Love Is Pain (Kindle Edition)

Peach has done it again with this one. The craziness of these characters is back. I laughed so hard that my sides were hurting. I was yelling at them as if I was actually in the story. Syn and Angel are one and the same, but totally opposite. Poor Leon just didn't get it. I felt so sorry for him. I am so ready for the next installment to see what kind of craziness there will be. Kudos to you Peach.

Great read!

Enjoyed this books so much. It was everything you could ask for. I was not disappointed at all. Kept me up all night anticipating what was going to happen next. J Peach put out another banger. Loved how Angel started to mature and give Parker a chance besides sex and their sex was hot as fiyah. Anxiously awaiting part 2 of the series. Did not see that ending happening. Also, a book that was over a 120 pages. The price of the book could have been a lot more for how good this read was.

Omg! Part two ASAP!

I love me some JPeach! Love her style of writing, her storyline always keeps your interest and when u start the book you don't want to put it down until it ends. This is a banger alert! No kidding! Love me some Parker....he don't play! Leon's butt needs to be dealt with. By part two he is as good as sleeping with the fishes when Parker is done with him. I wanted the girls to whoop Jennifer and her friends a**. Hope part two comes soon because I know JPeach takes her time when writing so we can get the best! Great job!

Funny and Drama

At first I was a little thrown off when the book was talking about peaches and blaze I didn't know this was about one of peaches friends, and the I saw Blake was three I knew J Peach went back in time. This book was so good I had to make my self not read it to fast because I would want to read part two right now! I would not be surprised if Part and Blaze was related they both crazy but love there women. I was so happy to see peaches and Blaze in here, but Angel and Parker are my second favorite couple!

Ready for more

I loved reading this book...it was so easy for me to feel what the characters were feeling. I love that there was never a dull moment from start to finish. I am so ready to read the continuation for this. I'm willing to bet that Angel is pregnant, but I really hope that she doesn't lose the baby. I know that Parker is going to kill Leon for snatching her up...

Great read

This is my first time reading from this author and I must say I'm impressed.... These days most books I read I be done with within 4 hrs or less but not this one. And the fact it don't end with one book, and I'm kind of disappointed in that, however it left a few cliff hangers that will have me waiting on the next. Please J Peach don't take to long.

Omg

What a read. Angel's spinoff was soooo good. The a dangerous love crew is back. Angel secret life is so juicy but she's hiding It from her girls. Love Parker that man is the truth crazy just like blaze. Angel or syn as she's known is not looking for love just sex but it's complicated when she starts to fall in love. Go read to get the tea it won't disappoint.

Ms. Johnson, Ms. Johnson! You haven't missed a beat from the ADL series to this one! Hats off to you for a stellar release that did nothing but keep me totally on edge. Angel has alot to offer us, so I hope part 2 gives us more and her man, Parker. Thank you for giving us a great read!

Syn

Leon and Jennifer are straight b!tches. Parker is good for Angel. I just wish she would let him in more. I didn't think anybody could be crazier then Blaze. Her girls about to put in some work.

Trash

I'm confused if the same 5 star ratings was for this book I just read. Nah can't be. This book was trash I couldn't even finish it. There's no love in this book. Just sex and drugs. Not my cup of tea. There was no real storyline
