Giselle & Dro: Giving My Heart To A Boss Standalone

Rate this book
“I’m giving you, the keys to my heart.”
“My soul lies, within your hands.”
Giselle and Dro cross paths in Ethiopia. The two of them exchange numbers, and make plans to link up, when they touchdown in Atlanta. They went out on a few dates, exchanged a few texts, nothing more nothing less.
On the outside looking in Giselle has it all. Underneath the beautiful smile, and well kept appearance lies, pain, heartache, and a soul full of tears. Giselle is broken and damaged. Time heals all wounds, and laughter is good for the soul. She has her guard up, and she’s not open to love again at all. This time around, she’s putting herself first, and protecting her heart at all cost to avoid making the same previous mistakes.
Dro is a boss, he’s been in the streets all his life. No thoughts of stopping anytime soon. He’s coming of age. He’s never been in a committed relationship. He’s entertained a few females, but nothing serious. It’s something about Giselle that’s piques his interest, and makes him want to change his ways.
Giselle has been through a lot and Dro has too. Unlike the rest of the guys that she’s dealt with. Dro is different, he wants something real with Giselle. He wants to mend her broken heart. Giselle, trust Dro to a certain extent, she has trust issues. Dro is a gentleman when he’s with Giselle, but underneath the gentleman lies a boss and a savage.
Take a wild ride with Giselle and Dro, to see if she lets him in. Is he all talk, or is he the man that he claims to be.

Awesome book, kept me intrigued the entire time. Proud of the way Giselle grew up, I was skeptical of her at first because of her actions in (Journee & Juelz) but she glowed up, got married, Dro truly loves her and she truly loves him. I love LOVE STORIES when you can actually feel the love radiating off the pages. Not too much drama, it was just right !!

Nope uhh unh

This book was so confusing I got a headache trying to figure out what was happening. The story started as if it was part 2 to another book, but after searching and searching I came to The conclusion that this is only one book. The main character has already met her new dude and been on 3 dates, then she stopped talking to him for what seemed to be explained for things that happened to her 8 years ago. Then says she is not ready for a relationship, but gets mad when she sees him in the restaurant with someone. Then let's him come and force her into a relationship like without arguing or anything. Then instead of telling her daughter that her father went to heaven to be with angels and GOD or something, she thought it was okay to let her believe her dad just up and left them and didn't want to be with them no more.

To struggle with a book due to grammatical errors and words being in the wrong place is one thing but to have to struggle with that annnddd be confused about what u r reading is a whole nother beast. So at page 23 I'm bowing out gracefully. I don't even care about these characters lives.

Loved it

Howell's and Dro's story was so real. I loved that they did everything to make it work between them. I just love happy endings. Giselle deserved her happy ending! Need some more of your books to read!

That was a good read. Giselle had been through so much and to find love with Dro the way she did and form a friendship with Kaniya was exactly what she needed.

OMG this was a great read

I loved Giselle and Dro love story it was definitely gave Dro a hard time. Giselle was cautious with her heart after being broken hearted. Giselle was tried of being mistreated wrong in and out bad relationships. Dro was different from any other men he loved her with respect and wanted to marry and be with her. Giselle meets Kaniya and it starts off crazy and they become best friends she accepted Giselle and let her know don't let anyone disrespected her. Giselle was still friends Journee,Alexis, Nikki. Giselle had to deal with Dro baby mother Chantell who Dro to be with her. Then she had this guy name Snake from her past who kept putting his hands on her he went prison he wanted his money back he left with her. Dro and Giselle went to a restaurant to eat Snake walk up and hit her and a fight broke out he wouldn't let anyone violated her. Dro pulled out a gun on him he arrested for gun procession and he was a felony charges. Giselle felt it was her fault he got in trouble and she was in love with him and pregnant with his baby. Dro didn't want Giselle to come to jail because he knew she was his weakness he didn't put her on his visitor list she felt he was shutting her out and felt some kinda way about it. She went through so many obstacles she just wanted to be happy. She was feed up being mistreated by him and she wanted move on with her life she ended with his Chantell and Dro she loved them as her own. Kaniya husband Lucky was jealous of her friendship Dro he left her and his kids because he felt she didn't respect him are listen to him he was trying to make a point he was still messing around on her .Yirah had baby by Kaniya husband Lucky. Giselle meets Dro mother Rodica with her daughter Kassence. Dro wanted to handle Giselle relationship different because she was his soul mate. Snake was a witness and she killed because he attack her he had some people in jail to fight him until court date. He got out of jail and Giselle went to Miami to hang out with Kaniya and to get away from Dro. Giselle and Dro got married and a baby girl. Giselle found someone who loved her back unconditionally and also loved her daughter and willing to give her his last name. Giselle discovered she was loved herself faults and all let the past go to move toward her future with her husband Dro and children.

I like Dro for Giselle…I’m glad she got a chance to change her ways and be a better and not bitter woman! Another great read,this story just flowed and capture your attention and did not let it go. The love between Dro and Giselle they were made for each other. I am happy that she got her happy ending, however what the hell is up with Lucky and Kaniya how did they get to this point in their marriage? Did I miss something? Lucky wants to act like it's kaniya fault that their marriage is in shambles,but I just don't see what she did or was doing wrong. In all honesty they both were at fault for their marriage being like it is. And for him to leave her and his kids just to go be with his other bm was just triflin. Now he on the other hand is a dirty low down dog and needs let go and move on,like she told him she is not worried about him and old girl,was why he come over to tell her strip because he heard she went on a date ,but never said he did not sleep with old girl,man oh man men or sure ass holes.Now their book is one I can't wait for,please don't take to long. Great job author.

Giselle finally discovered what not to do. She went from the side chick, to the one and only, and I'm so proud of her. Giselle had barriers up, not that you could blame her, after the way she had been treated by her previous relationships. In other series, you would've thought that Giselle was a bad person, but she was just looking for love in all the wrong places. Dro was patient with her, and it finally paid off. I didn't like that Dro cut off communication with Giselle when he went to jail, even though he had his reasons. I didn't support his reasons, and he almost lost Giselle behind it. All in all, she deserved happiness just like Journee, Nikki, and Alexis.

That Good Love!

Giselle had a bad rep with her previous boyfriend Free. Once he passes away he leaves Giselle and their daughter Kassence very well off. When GIselle meets Roderick aka Dro the sparks fly but their is some baby mama drama with Chanelle. Dro is another boss and will not allow anyone disrespect his new wifey. Giselle’s ex Snake tries to punk Giselle but she nor Dro is having that. Love the story and how everyone from Dro’s crew embrace Giselle and his best friend Kaniya loves her. Lucky Kaniya’s husband left her and she’s not taking him back! The roads get rocky but this young and in love couple make it through.

True love

I will say in the beginning I wasn't really fund of Giselle but I will say that she changed and she changed for the good. The way Dro loved her was excellent. The only thing I didn't agree with was when he went to jail and how he did her, but other than that, he kept his word. Great ending, and with the right one, anything was possible, and I was glad she was able to have a baby by her husband, and he got the little girl that he wanted.

Giselle & Dro

I’m so happy Giselle got her happy ending. She went through it with Juelz and Free but Dro stepped in and put her heart at ease. I’m so glad she found a friend in Kaniyah. Nikki you did the damn thing with this one. Great Job!! I need the next book to be about Kaniyah and her messing Lucky whole life up.

Good read

This was a good book! I still don't like Giselle you do a 360 in a manner of months no I don't buy it! Kaniya is Kaniya and I'm surprised she befriended such a weak woman. She did boss up some when she took out Snake. Another great story Nikki Nicole can't wait to see what's next from you!

Good Read

I loved Giselle and Dro for each other. He changed his ways a lot when it came to her! Giselle deserved to be happy. She had a lot going on in her past but she finally has someone who helped change her outlook and realized she too could have that love she seen others with. She also made a friend along the way who had her back like no other!!
