The book started off a little slow, but it definitely picked up, and by the time the ending came, I was shocked beyond measures. I took off a star, due to all the grammatical errors. There were times I had to re-read more than a sentence or two, to understand what the author had written, but it was still a great read.
Reason and Teague were cousins that were more like sisters than anything. They both were good young women, that pretty much went to work, and came home. Reason had a situationship with Dee, but Dee just didn't fulfill her every need. Dee was just convenient for Reason, in the areas that Reason needed, but Dee wanted more from Reason. Reason cared for her grandmother who had Alzheimer's, and she had a full-time job, which didn't give her much time to give to Dee.
Teague and Reason didn't have much other family, besides Teague's brother, Torren, who was also Reason's older cousin. The grandmother that Reason cared for, was Teague and Torren's mother. Teague and Reason would occasionally go out to places, but Reason wasn't the kind that really liked to party. Teague had her own situation with her ex, Josiah. Teague loved Josiah, but he couldn't be faithful to only her. After Teague finally had had enough, she told him to move on with his life, not expecting that he would do just that.
Torren loved his sister, Teague, his cousin, Reason, his mother, and girlfriend, Tia. Providing for his family, and making sure that they were safe, were his main priority. Torren was in the streets, but just enough to be comfortable after he took care of his family. He often treated Teague and Reason like they were his children, and they both knew it came from a good place, but at times, it was overbearing. Torren also had a fear that he would turn out like his mother, and he worried if he would end up with Alzheimer's as well. Torren also had a problem with being faithful to Tia.
A night at the club brought Teague, Brim, Reason, and Bronx together. Brim and Teague had chemistry from the beginning, but Reason couldn't even stay in the same proximity of Bronx too long, because of his rude, and arrogant attitude. Brim and Bronx were used to women that threw themselves at them, but Teague and Reason weren't those type of women. Brim and Bronx ended up doing things for Teague and Reason that they never done before. Just when things were good, chaos landed, that brought Teague, Brim, Reason, and Bronx even closer, but made Torren realized that he didn't know Tia as well as he thought.
