A Street Legend and His Ridah
Desire is the definition of a ride or die chick. She is loyal to her family, her friends, and definitely her man. When her loyalty to the wrong man leaves her with a broken heart and an arrest record, she swears off men and vows to focus on herself. Her new attitude is short lived once she finds herself in a forced business relationship with the rude, arrogant, and oh so sexy Chy’Rique West.
Chy was well known on the streets of Washington, DC. Some might call him a legend. The aura of power that he exudes along with his bad boy good looks make him irresistible to women, and he takes full advantage, leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. He would love to change his cheating ways and make his family work with Julisha, the mother of his two-year-old daughter, but the dog in him just won’t stop barking. Although he loves her, it isn’t enough to make him fully commit. Chy is convinced that no woman alive can completely capture his heart, that is until the woman he intended to kill becomes everything he ever wanted.

What a ending
You did it again Ebony Diamonds, I really enjoyed this book. It's crazy how Julisha let Duke get in her head so fast and turn her back on Chy. I know he wasn't the man that she wanted him to be but she knew that from the beginning. I had a feeling little fast behind Ja'Maya was lying about who her baby daddy was but I surely wasn't expecting that. I like Chy and Desire together I know that they can be something great. Can't wait for part 2 great read.

Love That CHY
Omg! What a read? From the beginning to the end, this story kept me turning pages. The storyline was well developed. The information on the characters was enough to know how the played a role in this story. This story is about love, family, and betrayal. I loved how Chy changed. I can't wait to see what Julisha and Duke got planned for Chy and desire. This book should be in your library. A great read.

Good book
This was a good book. I loved Desire and Chy together, he found his ridah. Julissa was crazy, lol. Chaz was even crazier, refusing to divorce him. Now the Lil jump off in 1023 was really throwed off and ickmatized. JaMya was really out there bad. I can't wait for part 2!!!

Good
Good characters, good storyline.
Only issue, she never gave a description of desire. Kind of hard to put yourself Ll the way into a book when u can't project.

Drama filled
This book was non stop drama from the first chapter. The beginning of the book had me questioning Desire, she was letting Lex punk her and I wasn’t feeling that. The minute she hooked up with Chy it was on and popping. I loved them together they were both crazy and it just seemed to work. Chy was a boss and no matter who tried to take him down, he always came out on top. Really good book.

Not bad, not bad at all!!!
So for an intro, this was truly not bad at all... I mean the characters were on point and everything was on point.
Desire is truly a ridah and a loyal one at that. Moshe truly looked out for her man with no questions asked. It's nice too see that she is trying to better herself.
Chy'Rique "Chy" is a good, guy, a little bit damaged but still a good guy and sexy and a wonderful nature. He could be bae soon.
So far with the story line, the main characters chemistry and the length of loyalty displaying, this story was very thing and even more. Hopefully they will get their love as it supposed to be. Julisha, man go on somewhere but if anything, you can participate the jealousy and envy pouring out. She really should have known better regarding Duke and move to her familiar ground and see.... Duke you are so low, so degrading that I can't wait when karma will visit you as well as ayaliah... Still a not too bad of a story and a perfect intro. Let see what part two is going to accept

Must Read
Ebony has created another banger! I am loving this series so far! Julisha better get it together because letting someone she just met cause her to make decisions that can affect others will be a bad outcome. I loved me some Chy. That man was something else. He was so mean at times, but also had a sweet side to him. Desire was a fool for a man in the beginning. I could believe how dude she was dealing with played her out. I was shocked by some things that were revealed about him. Ariah was one delusional chick. Both her and Chaz worked my nerves. Chaz tried to be messy but failed at it. Now she can't get what she was used to getting and don't like that one bit. Ja'Mya's little young self was foul for her actions in this book. I could only shake my head. I can't wait for more drama to unfold in book two.

Good read
I was interested from the beginning read in a couple hours. All it takes is for real love to break a dude, smash and dash every chick but wen that chemistry natural boyyyy can turn the cruddiest dude good. Chy good dude he jus protectin himself for his past repeating itself. Desire a real one n I was mad she was gettin played like dat by sucker Lex, glad she finally put her foot down after almost losing her life and she ain't even know it. Baby mothers the worst or are wife's that don't wanna let go ugh I hope she can ride the way thru Chaz n julisha so she can be happy

Wow
Even though how Chy and them met When she worked at Target But if wasn't for Lex messing up they would not be together...
To watch them come together and get married and have a family..
Duke was sick I don't care because he was a cop he most certainly is crooked and a rapist I'm so glad he finally got his just desert And all enemies where dealt with
Sad about his mom especially after she finally got herself together..
And Chaz got her karma in the end to
I recommend this Author and book

Let's see I can't believe Julisha is letting Duke get in her head like that, going against Chy is going to cost her. Ariah when he finds out that she hit Star I feel sorry for her. Now I can't believe Jamaya'sass is sleeping with her mothers boyfriend and is pregnant by him. Chaz delusional ass I just can't, Now Desire she's down all the way.. can't wait for part 2

Ebony Diamonds has done it again with another 5 star read full of drama, suspense and nothing but surprise after surprise. Well written at a steady pace with a steady flow and plot. Loving the characters and they're well developed with some much room for growth. Another job well done Ebony and I can't wait to see what next for Chy and Desire. Loving this series so far and I know it's only going to get better. Highly recommend

Daaaammmnn!
Ok.. So I need part 2! Chy really grew on me & Desire seems to be the perfect fit! The ending threw me for a loop and it was definitely unexpected! I need to know what happened! But, what I do know is, Chy has a way with choosing women. Come on part 2. Ebony, honey, you did that!

His Ridah
OMG.....Desire was definitely Chy's ridah. Everyone seems to want to use Chy, and Desire keeps proving she has his back. Now Jalisha is just dumb to screw Chy over behind her being jealous and insecure. And that Jamaya; I just knew she was hoe. Can't wait to read part 2.

Good Read
I liked the characters and their interactions. I did not like the installment format but it is ok if they are close together. It is a problem when they are so far apart that you have to go and re-read the first installment. But I did enjoy the book and may read part two if it comes in a timely manner.
