Hustle Hard

by Saundra

Three friends who escaped the streets. Now they're cashing in on a brilliant hustle and living their million-dollar dreams. But it may cost them their friendship—and their lives.  For Isis, Secret, and Penny, the good times just keep getting better. As “managers” of Miami's hottest custom car shop, they’re moving vast kilos of product faster than their scammer boss, Kirk, can pimp out rides—and living la vida luxurious. So they’ve got things under control when Secret and Penny's alcoholic mother shows up needing help. And when Isis' one-time love, Bobbi, begs for another chance—complete with a huge payoff—she's got his loot on lock and temptation at arm's length . . . But fast money brings ever more lethal problems. Penny falls into a vicious spiral of addiction no amount of cold hard cash can break. As Secret and Isis struggle to save her, a vengeful enemy goes hard after Kirk and the business, putting all three friends in the crosshairs. And as they fight to save what they've built, staying alive means risking unthinkable options—and  betrayal no friendship can forgive . . .   “Saundra continues to flawlessly portray the dog-eat-dog code that Detroit goes by. The ending to this story is unpredictable and makes for the perfect ending to this seemingly never-ending roller-coaster ride.”—RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars, on Her Sweetest Revenge 3

Isis & Secrets friendship continues from book 1. This was more believable than the final book. Blanks were filled in and needed back story was provided.

Hustle Hard has drama, suspense, spice, and I'm here for it. The storyline kept me interested, but there were a couple small errors in this book but they didn't detract from the story. I've read other books by this author and I can definitely see tremendous growth. Out of the characters, I'd say I liked Secret the best, because she was tough and didn't take no mess. I'm looking forward to seeing where this series is going. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a pretty quick-paced story, with lots of action and drama.

Now...this book here! Saundra is wicked with a pen and she has crafted a tale where Secret and Isis face some grimy dudes and the ultimate caper.

Well-written and definitely a page-turner!

Isis and Secret are managers of a custom car shop in Miami which is a front for a large drug operation ran by their lifetime friend Kirk who has always made sure they were taken care of. Isis is dealing with a ex resurfacing after he has just up and left her, while Secret is having issues with her little sister Penny and her mother Jackie

Hustle Hard is full of drama and it is around every corner, as soon as one of the ladies think they have overcome here comes something else. There were quite a few errors in this book but the storyline still flowed and kept me interested. Secret was my favorite character because she did not take any crap from anyone.This was my first book by this author and it will not be my last.

This book is full of drama. Holds your interest and makes you want to keep reading. There is never a dull moment with Isis and Secret. Penny also brings something to the storyline as well as Jackie. I look forward to another installment in this series. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Quick read.
A lot started happening towards the end. Even though the characters weren't fleshed out, it would have been nice to read from Penny's POV.
