A Thug's Worth #1

A Thug's Worth

Rate this book
Yanese, a beautiful and innocent girl who spends her days working as a Registered Nurse and catering to her husband's every need. She lives the typical (wife life) with out much excitement. The only thing that keeps her hip, is her best friend Dajah. Dajah is the ordinary round the way chick who tries to keep her friend on her ten toes; as she calls it. Yanese refuses to indulge in Dajah’s thugged out life style and would never dare to cross that path. Yanese hated everything about a thug, from the saggy pants to the music, until she meets Boss “Major” Banks.
Major is one of New York's Notorious kingpins who vows to never trust a bitch or fall in love. After laying eyes on Yanese Berkeley, she left him in a trance. With one look at her beauty, he was instantly drawn in. Her innocence is was captivated him the most and he was sure to have her; or so he thought. After every encounter between the two, Yanese gave him nothing but attitude and it only made him want her more.
After spending many years with her husband, Sebastian, Yanese found out the truth behind his hidden affair. Beyond hurt, Yanese couldn't fathom the feeling of being second to a man she thought was her world. Defeated, Yanese decided to give the thug a try. Stepping up to the plate, Major showed her that a thug is not what people made them out to be. He caters to her every need and loves her like no man could ever. She now learns that a Thug is Worth more than- lies, deceit and betrayal. Take a ride with Major and Yanese on their twisted love tale, and find out will it take a turn for better or worst?

Damnnnnnnn....

I surely didn't see that ending wow. I can't believe that Sébastian n is wit Mercedes now n she is actually seeing him. That's just so crazy man wow. I guess when Major dropped the gun after Sébastian is when Yanese got shot. I hope that she is okay n the baby is too! I can't wait to read part 2! Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved it

This book was so good. This is my first time reading this authors work. But I'm definitely checking out other books. Boss was definitely Bae. He open Yanese right on up. Sebastian made me sick he cheated on Yanses basically their whole marriage and had a baby on her. But couldn't handle it when the samething was happening to him. I hope Yanese and the baby are ok. Can't wait for part two

Nice!!!!

That was dope! Really good. While I don't condone the cheating, I liked the transformation Yanese was going through. She was too young to act so old lol. But are they OFFICIALLY separated? And I guess Sebastian said if he couldn't get him one way he'd get him another. I definitely saw that "relationship" coming with Mercedes. I am very curious to find out who got shot though, so on to part 2.....

This was so good!

Yassssss to Major! I is exactly what Yanese needed in her life, Sebastian has no room to be mad bc he brought this on himself. Mercedes is trifling and sad she running her mouth just bc Major doesn't want her smh. I like Dajah she is a real friend no matter what she was always there for Yanese.

Great read

Ms. Barbie Scott you aint right for how you ended this book! This was my first time reading a book by her and she came through! Yanese and Major were made for each other. They both brought out the best in each other. Yannie softened him and Major made her hard. I knew Sebastian was a creep frim the beginning and Cedes needs to get her life ans move around/on.

Good girl gone bad.

Yasssss!! This is my first time reading a book from this author and I loved her writing. Her pen game is on point. I knew Sebastian was creeping, Yannie took too long to pick up the signs. I glad she gave Major a chance tho. She need that good D. Lol. Mercedes is a snake messing with Sebastian. I hope Majesty and Jennie is okay. Part 2 here I come

Ok!

This book was entertaining but predictable. I knew what was gonna happen as everything was happening. It was also a little far fetched. But all in all it was ok. Read it for yourself!

Good Read

Good read from beginning to end but as always that ending got me. Sebastian is getting on my nerves and needs to be got. Loved the relationship between Yanese and Major if and when they ever get to settle down and enjoy each other. Good read Barbie Amor.

A must read banging series.

Oh my!! This series has so much drama, gunplay, sex and betrayals that you'll continue to slide the pages till the end. What's next for Major and Yanese? One click.
