He Got Me Willing to Risk It All: Needing That Hood Love
Magdalina “Blanc” Joseph and her mother Magda seem to have it all together. Despite illegally entering the US and being abandonned by her father, Blanc’s mother has always made a way from them. Hustling in more ways than one, Magda carries her daughter on her back while gaining ranks and respect in the streets until envy causes Magda and her daughter to be deported.
Nicolas DuBois is hood royalty. With his laid back and smooth persona he was able to conquer the game, flipping his earnings into streams of multi-million dollar businesses that had him set for life. Nicolas lived the life every men envied except he was missing something, a wife.
Struggling in her native country, Blanc agrees to marry Nicolas for an opportunity to re-enter the states to live a life of glitz and glam. The fancy clothes, cars, shoes, and money does nothing to fill the void Blanc feels from being tied to a man she has no connection to.
Milli, next in line to take over his Uncle Nicolas' empire, is different than his uncle in more ways than one. Unlike Nicolas, Milli is a ruthless thug who lives life on the edge. When instructed to look after his uncle's wife in his absence, the unthinkable happens. In Milli’s eyes, Blanc is the perfect fit for him. Without warning, an intense love affair begins to brew between the two
Desperately pursing that hood love she so badly craved, Blanc is willing to risk it all but to what extent?

Verrrrry good read
Omg this storyline was BOMB. I real life want to fight Blanc for being so stupid. I hope her and Nicholas can get it together but I know it'll be hard to forgive her. I gave 4 stars because the story ends at 76% and a sneak peek is given. I'm sure you could've left off the sneak peek and gave us more of the story. I'll be reading part 2 but praying it's longer. Great read tho...welcome back!!!!

I get that Blanc didn’t want to marry Nicholas, and if she didn’t want to she just shouldn’t have. Nicholas is a woman dream and Blanc was to stuck in her ways to see how good she had it. Millie was also out of line for doing his uncle like that. I feel whatever happens to the both of them they deserve 🤷🏾♀️

When we have it all & don't know what to do with it
How could one have the perfect mate yet they still are unhappy. Blanc was young yes but a dummy she should have never been. Her mother schooled her from a young age yet she didn't benefit from it. She was determined to love the wrong type. Who wouldn't want a Nicolas he was the total package. Yet you want someone who ain't no good for themselves. How could she not know about Noonie & Cyn. I just hope Nicolas don't fall for Cyn bs she can't be trusted. Yes a woman scorned will do unthinkable things but if you did it once she would do I again. I can't wait for part 2. I don't know if love will be able to get Nicolas & Blanc back. I don't see no real man giving her another chance when he has been patient. No matter how much he loved her. As usual LuBoo you never disappoint me.

I'm irritated. This book had so much potential but I found myself truly hating Blanc through most of the book because they never explained why she wasn't giving Nicholas a chance when he was seemingly such a perfect guy. Some of her reasons for doing him dirty was so juvenile and ignorant that I wanted to smack her. Most importantly, it was never explained how or why Nicholas chose Blanc to be his wife anyway. What was their initial connection for their marriage to even be arranged? Then for it to be a cliffhanger ending, I was just truly disappointed and aggravated at the end. I see there is a part 2, and I'm going to give it a chance because the problem with this book isn't poor writing, just incomplete character and plot development. *crossing my fingers that book 2 will leave me with a 5 star feel*

I’m team Nicholas and Blanc!!! I know the way they married wasn’t for love but I know the love is there and I definitely know that he loves her....Every girl wants a bad boy but Blanc needs to realize she has that... don’t get me wrong I like Milli too but I’m team Nicholas and Blanc... they both did the ultimate no no but I would love to see them work every out which I know isn’t going to be easy.... but that ending has me on the edge!!! I can’t wait for part 2!!!

Mediocre at Best
This book was beyond mediocre! So Nicholas is fine, well spoken, ridiculously weather and has great d so why wouldn’t he find a woman to court himself? This book was so short and rushed. I don’t understand why Blanc just was sleeping with his cousin and they never even established a relationship? They hung out at the mall, went shopping then they got into it and their next encounter they are screwing? No back story, no character development I’m sorry this book sucked. I didn’t even read the sneak peek at the end and I won’t be purchasing part 2 #bigletdown

😱
This book was so good. It's so sad that a lot of women lose out on a good man to chase after lust. Nicolas loved his wife even with her being fake as hell with him. I just knew once she looked in his eyes she was going to see what she's been missing but she was just a little to late now Blanc done messed up everything. I don't know if this betrayal is forgivable I can't wait to see how Lucinda John gets her out of this mess if that's even possible can't wait for book 2.

Tangled Web
Lucinda John once again has my heart thumping and mind racing with anticipation of what's going to happen next! Nicholas definitely that nicca that every woman wants but he should have really gotten to know Blanc before requesting her hand in marriage! We all fall for that thug love but just like Milli everything that shines ain't glitter , now what's going to happen since the cat out the bag! I'm so ready for part 2!

Great comeback
I really hope that the next installment don't be a year from now.
What I like about this book is different hopefully it turns into a fairy tale I feel like Blanca was really young and she really didn't know where she wanted. Hopefully everything turns out alright in the end I know sometimes we don't get our Fairy Tail ending but I really think she learned her lesson.

Awwww
I'm a sucker for love stories, but only in books though. I feel bad (kinda) for Blanc because she really wasn't ready to get married, BUTTT once she said "I DO" that foolishness should have been done for. Now she sitting here looking stupid.... And Milli? That's how you do your only family? Shame on them. I just hope they make it out alive because I don't think Nicholas has it all....

Let me first say that I’m NEVER disappointed when Lucy writes a book. This book was beyond AMAZING, I never thought I would hate a mane character as much as I did blanc. That heifer got everything thing she deserved but in a wired way I hope they can make it work he just needs to make her sweat awhile. Can’t wait until part 2🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

PREDICTABLE
I’m disappointed in the way the story ended of course! I feel like it was truly a typical read, it had potential to be a good book but of course the author thought a cliffhanger was the best solution, plus the story lacked character development. I hate when women are portrayed as stupid just because they’re young.

FIVE STARS BUT IM TIRED
The book was actually good I loved it but disappointed at the same time.. I’m a really big fan and everything but I want to read a full book.. shortening the book then taking forever to put out the next part is not a good look... you can do so much better with a full book.. Dare to be different love

Wow
This book has led me speechless. Lucinda you wrote that book. I’m loving she is a plus size girl with confidence, she maybe a little blonde acting. Lord Nicholas needs help. That ending was heart shattering. You did a great job

Wow. There wasn’t no dull moments. Even though I felt the storyline was slightly predictable I still enjoyed it. I’m intrigued t see which way this plot will turn out. I’m rooting for Nicholas and I’m hoping to see more of his savage side in part 2.

Wooooooooooow. This here is an absolute banger. Every girl wishes they had a man that was wealthy, loved his wife and amazing sex. Blanc was a gullible little girl who was dickmatized. I can’t wait until part2.

I can't wait to see what happens next. Blanc is a fool, I understood her situation at first, but she could have put forth the effort. Nicolas gave her the world, LOYALTY is all he asked. I'm so yearning this next installment. Please hurry Lucinda😫😫😫

That damn Blanc done really messed up, she didn't appreciate what she had until it was too late. She was dead wrong for messing with Milli. She trusted the wrong person with her secrets. Overall a good read....can't wait for part 2.

Lucinda John did a great job on this book. Blanc made some crazy decisions. She's playing a real dangerous game with the matter of the heart. I can't wait for part two hopefully she can get herself together
