But Allen's wife Karmen, might turn out to be his most fatal opponent when she eventually grows tired of being his dutiful wife and learns about his mistress. Besides Allen trying to keep his wife loyal he also has to play peacemaker to his sons Clayton and Kasir. The men are complete opposites and constantly butt heads over their different styles on how to run the family business. Finally, there is Allen's daughter Ashton that he absolutely adores. Ashton has the beauty of her mother but a mind to destroy like her father.

What can I say?
It has been a minute since I have read one of her books. This one did not disappoint. There were some parts that I felt were left out but she made up for it in a couple of chapters. Really good book. The plot and twists in this book are too much. I can't wait to see how she pulls it all together in part 2. Good job, Ms. King......I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Fast paced with a lot of twists and turns.
The characters aren't fleshed out and are one dimensional. But, it's not horrible.
The ending left off on a cliff hanger. So, I'm interested to see what happens next.
3.5 stars.

The bloodline
It has been a while since I read a Joy Deja King book. This book just reminded me why I always loved her books. This was a crazy book with so many twists due to all the connections between the characters. I will definitely be finishing this series.

so good
Omg, this is so good, so dramatic which I love. Storyline is awesome, loved the characters, Clayton is a handful. Cliffhanger, can’t wait to start Book 2.

A solid 3.5! The book was good, but there were a lot of parts that felt unfinished. The story lacked a lot of details in my opinion during certain parts. Decent read, but I’ve read better from her!

great read
Great read I love all the characters
It's crazy how she made everybody just knew each other, but not know each other if that makes sense

The drama and intrigue were above average. A father and son sleeping with the same woman was bound to create problems. a married woman scorned adds sizzle to the story also.
