Why did it end
Okae this book was a great collaboration of two authors! Man I tell you I fell hard for Malik because of how he came off! He was straight forward and the way he straight played Jonathan that day at school was funny. I
Glad that he had Micah to stop delivering packages but it was a bit much for her when she didn't have to do it because her parents was well off! Tasha her bestie ain't nothing like a real bestie. You don't use your bestie to get info and then wanna be mad because she becomes friends with the dude side piece that you so happen to love. But I can say tasha was a beast at what and how she did things making Mona look like how she know my man. Goo man I liked him til he played my girl candy to the left on New Years then see her and wanna start over. Mona don't mean him no good and I hope just because she says she is pregnant now that he don't go back. Wife or not you don't donor say some of the things she said to that man about his unborn and child's mother! But she was good at that entire have her cousin give her shot mess at the doctor office! But praise God it didn't work. Now please tell me that it's not Craig that just made tasha sign a death wish if she don't do what he says! Now my thing is why did Malik kill mark and did dad already know? Plus do dad work with Malik on getting rid of bodies? Daddy is up to something and things just got real!

I could not sit this down!
First thanks for representing ChiTown!! Malik is Bae cause them Westside Dudes are the truth!! I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Jonathan is crazy and will have to be dealt with, Tasha is trash because she's jealous and bitter towards the only person that cares for her. Micheal and Michelle are all messed up...and Micheal had something to do with his son's death. Goo...I don't know what to say, I mean I like Candy but she deserves better and Mona is a pest... I don't believe she's been as great of a wife as she portrays. I love that Micah is not gullible and so strong minded and educated. Malik gonna habe to really explain himself but that's never stopped a ChiTown dude before. Mo gotta go!! Only thing I didn't like was all that Harolds mess UNCLE REMUS is where it's at! Where is part 2? #CCCMEMBER #ChiTownBornAndRaised #WestSideGurl

Must Read
I am so loving this story!!!! I can't stand that fake chick Tasha! She worked my entire nerves in this book! She was beyond money hungry and would deal with anyone just to get what she wanted. Goo was a cool dude that was just dealt a bad hand. He couldn't help loving two women although he was only in love with one. Mona was so dramatic, but the way she handled the situation was beyond foul. She should have known what she set in motion would fall back on her. I felt bad for Candy. She was placed in a situation that only turned out bad. Hopefully things work out for her in book two. Now as far as Micah and Malik. I loved Malik until something was revealed about him. Now I honestly don't know how to feel when it comes to him. I was hoping things weren't what they seemed, but that doesn't look too promising. Micah let her guard down and allowed things to happen between her and Malik, but now she may be having different feelings. I am so looking forward to book two because there seems to be more people lurking in the shadows!!

WTH!!!
This is a real cliffhanger here!! Let me start by saying that Micah is a bad woman. She got it together on all levels, but I need Tasha handled. She's not even good for herself. Goo on the other hand, his personal life is so messed up until it's funny to me. All that dipping is paying off on him. I need to know why Michelle is clueless to her husband's line of work? She's married to a Kingpin and don't even know it. Michael is into some stuff and I think he know who killed Mark. Twyla T. and Patrice Balark, you two killed this. Five stars ladies!!! Part 2 please.

Hot new banger
I devoured this book. It was a thrilling ride to take with Malik and Micah! I loved the go gotta attitude th a Micha possessed she was truly a boss making boss type moves. Malik can into her world and turned everything upside down in a heartbeat. Micah,s parents are not as perfect as they would like the outside world to think. Micah is in school, working part_time and moving more weight than your average block boy. But u know all good hood stories have a shocking revelation at the end. Well this one is do or die for sure.
Goo was a straight following but just a lost boy at the end of the s at and has a lot of growing up to do.

Excellent book!
Lord have mercy! That ending though. I can't wait to see what happens! I love Malik and Micah together. I hope that they can get passed this. I really think her dad has something to do with Mark and his death. Goo needs to just leave his wife alone and be with Candy. So much juicy drama going on! Love it!

Really?
Really Ladies? So you just drag me to the edge of the cliff, push me off but catch me and have me hanging on by 1 finger. Micah is my girl, but she is not one to be played with. I hope that Malik has a very good and convincing explanation for that ending. Poor Goo. He is really up the creek without a paddle. Will it be Candy or Mona? Tasha needs to meet my girl Karma. She is really doing the most. Bring on part 2 ladies. I'm ready.

What a tangled web we start with. Hummmm ladies rep Chicago. Yesssss. Micha. Strong character bit wondering why she would still be friends with tasha especially since she knows she is on nonsensical bull. Malik and her pops. Yeah. Something's there its probably the fathers fault about the brother. Mona is one of the lowest self esteemed females. Love Goo ? Not after all he is done. Bring on book 2.

Whew!
Whew! What a collaboration? These authors didn't come to play, and I am here for it. Malik and Micah met their match with each other. They balanced each other out until they ended up opposing each other. The drama with the other characters, goodness! They weren't lying about drama and other things being served up very well. I'm ready for book two.

The suspense!!!
I hope Malik did not kill Micahs brother, i love them together! Im hoping theres some other explanation. However, what a great book!! These 2 Authors together was perfect! I hope Goo & Candy can make it work also, & Tasha and Mona get theirs! I felt bad for her at first, but to wish death on or to try to harm an innocent child is crazy! Cant wait until pt 2.

Who can you trust. Things we're just too go to be true for Malik and Micah. But he indeed loves her. I can't believe Mona would go to extremes to hurt a child. Tasha is from and I hope she's exposed soon. Poor Goo is stuck between a rock and hate place. But with what just took place should make his decision even better. Will Malik be forgiven.
