Torn Between The Plug And A Savage
She was engaged to the Plug and then...See what had happened was...
Imagine waking up in your beautiful mansion, pampered by housekeepers, and maids, and surrounded by people who literally worshipped the ground you walked on. All simply because you were considered 'Hood Royalty.' That had been the life for twenty-four years old, Sanai; until it was all suddenly snatched away from her when her fiancé was sentenced to 25 years. This incident left her with absolutely nothing but pain and heartache. Sanai had two kids and one on the way. Just with that pressure alone, she finds herself at rock bottom; forcing her to move back to the low-income section 8 projects where she was born and raised. It doesn't take long for Sanai to see that being pretty, kept chick only gets you so far. Especially in a world full of savages, thugs and drug dealers.
Growing up in Newark's Southward, life hadn't always been easy for Saint. From birth, he has been thrown into the gang-banging lifestyle; following in his mother's footsteps as one of the most vicious Crips throughout New Jersey. Saint and his left hand, Cuz, only have two things on their twenty-year-old getting money and sleeping with multiple women that loved their lifestyle. Above all things, they plan to one day take over the legacy and run things just like their parents. That is until Saint runs across the sexy single mother that moved into his projects.
Kayla and John have been together for eight years. Their relationship transformed from two happy people, into strangers who coexist fearing the idea of being alone. At wit's end, Kayla agrees to give their a relationship one last shot by allowing another woman into their bedroom. Just when things start looking up, Kayla meets the rough, straight forward, Havoc. He shows her real men don't need much in this world to be satisfied. But is Kayla ready to leave a 'grown boy'? Or is she too focused on the longevity to get her happy ending?
Sit back and enjoy the ride as the gang experiences the wins and losses that come along with the game they love. Sometimes you have to lose people in order to make room for those worthy of being in your life... loving the Plug is cool, but it's that Savage that your heart desires.

Screaming one of my favorites reads of 2017!!!!! This book gave me life. Sanai was so green she didn't know anything about that street life, even with her Brother being in the game. She clearly didn't see anything going on around her. I know her sister was shady from the beginning. Saint is BAE. I sure hope they get together. Cane and Tru are the best street moms ever. They go hard for their kids and these ladies are all about the game. I need book 2 in my life right now, I mean where is it, I am looking for it!!!!

These characters had a lot going on. Good introduction to the characters and their issues. While there were a few grimy ones, I thought Gucc took the cake. Kim & Gerry were also wrong. Editing issues. I hope Saint & Sanii are ok. Storyline held my attention for these characters didn't let up with the drama. Overall good read

😱😱😱
I like the storyline, I just hate how slow paced it was. The drama was everything though. I’m rooting for Hoodsta and I am anxious to see how Havocs character is gonna handle Gucci ass. I’m hoping part 2 will be a little more faced paced and not dragged out. Overall great read!!!!

Wow!
All I can say is wow! This storyline took me on one heck of a ride. I got pulled into the story, and had to hold on for dear life. The twists and turns made me dizzy. That ending really shook me up. I was not expecting that at all. Now I have to read part 2 to see what the outcome will be. I am hoping that Saint and Sanai can be together.

Wow, this book was everything, with ratchetness at its best. Sanaii and her fiancé Gerald, was the family that had it all. They had 2 beautiful children, had been together since high school, and they loved one another. It wasn't until Gerald was sentenced to 25 years, and Sanaii lost it all, for her to realize that things weren't what they seemed. Starting over from rock bottom, being a single mother of 2 children, and alone, was a wake up call, and a huge adjustment for her. When Sanaii sees that she was the only one in the dark about her life, it becomes way more than she ever expected.
Saint was intrigued by Sanaii, from the moment that he laid eyes on her. She was beautiful, a little reserved, but more than what the eyes could see. She wasn't like the environment that they lived in, and very naive, with an innocence, that definitely didn't come from being in the hood. Saint didn't trust a lot of people, but for some reason, he trust Sanaii, and she was always there, when he needed her the most.
Kayla was Sanaii's best friend, who lived a complicated life. She had a boyfriend, John, who never stayed faithful. John was bored of his sex life with Kayla, so the two of them decided to bring in a third party, Paris. What started off as a 1 time thing, turned into a permanent situation. Just when it seems that John have it all, he still can't be faithful, with having 2 women at his disposal. Kayla is tired of her situation-ship, but will she continue to stay, or realize that she deserves better?
Once the truth comes out, the shocking truth will have you feeling the pain from these characters. Everything that happens in the dark, comes to the light, and you can't do anything but to accept it, or let it break you. Karma Monae did her thing in this book, and I was floored from the revelations revealed. If you haven't read this book, you need to, because you're missing out. Thank you for this awesome read.

Part 2 ASAP
Oh wow when I say this story was the bomb.com I mean it. What's so puzzling is how the hell Gucci think it's his baby when Cane just said they haven't done nothing in a while. I just know Hoodsta about to shut it down. I'm just ready for Gucci to get dealt with. I have a feeling that Sanai lost the baby but with everything that she's finding out it was just a matter of time. Her sister Kim is so shady she makes my skin crawl. So ready for part 2 to see what happens next. Great read!!!

Can't wait until part 2
This was really a good read.. Saint is the man he is really going on me his mother Cane is a mess cant wait until part 2... Gucci is so wrong I can't wait until he is a distance memory he was wrong on so many levels.. Karma Monoe don't take to long with his release. I have notice lately that your release date of a new book is way off when it actually is released not saying it's your error but it's very disappointing to think I will get to read something new but I have to wait another three weeks for your book to drop..

Cool
The story was cool. Initially I thought Saint was some 14 year old kid after hearing how old his mother was, but later in the story your told his age and the back story. Which is just bad, Gucci triflin in every way. The book is definitely hood, some of the lingo I didn't follow. Sanai is one I'm more interested in, hopefully in part 2 there some reaction from Gerry. The book had some hiccups with misplaced words, that should have been pick up on. Toward the end the POV look like it was about to change. Other than that the story was cool.

Great job Karma
This is my first read by karma and I must admit I enjoyed it from the beginning until the end. Saint was a great guy I loved how his young self looked out for Sanai now who shot at them I hope Gerald wouldn't try to hurt Sanai for her sorry sister Kim. Havoc is going to lose his mind I pray Sanai and Saint is okay that baby in her stomach I'm sure isn't going to make it. Sanai needs a fresh start.

This was a definite page turner. How could be with someone so long and don't really know of them. Poor Sanai is going thru it with Kim and Gerald and his cheating and having her believe she's the one. Saint I pray will heal her wounds. He fell hard for her and her boys. Cane is the HBIC with Tru right next to her. Now that Havoc is out and knows the real what is he gon do with it. I hope Gucci is first on the hit list. I'm praying Sanai pulls thru we need her

Damn
All I have to say is Cane is my Bih! This book was everything! I hope Cane kills Gucci's a** and get with Hoodsta. Gucci deserves to die for what he did to cane and the other women. Now Saint and Sanai deserve to be together because Sanai needs a good man in her and her kids life! I hope in book 2 Sanai s brother Havock will come out of hiding and get to the bottom of who hurt Saint and Sanai. This book was an excellent read!

Savage Love
Saint Saint Saint! He really grew up on me. For someone so young he handled himself like a man of wisdom but then again with a mother like Cane it was expected. I loved his friendship with Sanai and her sons he was really there for them. I need more of Havoc he seems like he’s gonna be a character to look out for. To all the grimy folks in this story I hope they all get handled in the next installment.

It started off slow but baby when it got going I couldn't get enough. I love how the characters are connected and don't even know it. I hope Nai be ok but a part of me want that baby not to happen only because she has so much on her back now. That low down sister of hers will get it later. Saint is Bae.
Waiting on part 2. Hurry please.

I love this book. Each character was special starting with two mothers that showed their sons unconditional love and how to get money. This book was so good I could not stop reading even when the lines were blurred. I can't wait for the next book. Thank you Karma for giving me what I love the most, a good read.

She's done it again!
Everything Karm writes is addicting. I literally could not put the book down, each scene held me captive. It felt like I was watching a movie. And it's sooo different from her other series, I love how she's growing and progressing as an author!

Slow Banger
karma normally starts with the banger in the beginning. I’ll be honest to say this one was a slow start, but as you get into the story it does get good. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it the same day I started.
