I Got Love For A Carolina Hustla

Rate this book
To love, honor and cherish are the vows that Ocean clung on to when she married her first love Bryce Charles. What Ocean didn’t know was that Bryce had his own meaning of the word marriage and faithful was nowhere in his vocabulary.



Knowing her worth, Ocean decides to call it quits with Bryce and focus on herself, not knowing that her thug in shining armor was right around the corner. Lucas swoops in and shows Ocean that there is more to life than what she is accustomed to and the two engage in a whirlwind romance. Only problem is Lucas has some baggage of his own.



Sony Sharp is smart mouthed and hood as they come. He knows exactly the kind of woman he wants, or at least he thinks he does. When River, a plus size beauty with an even bigger personality steps on the scene he’s left confused and fighting his developing feelings. Will the thick bombshell break down the barriers of his heart or will she find solace with another man?



Running the streets of Charlotte isn’t easy but the Sharp brothers do it with ease. Lucas and Sony handle business with an iron fist and handle anyone who tries to stop them. Life has been pretty easy for the both of them until they meet Ocean and River. Will they be able to separate the growing love they have for the ladies and their love for the streets? Find out in this page turning hood romance.

This book is crazy! I love Ocean and River, River is crazy but don’t play any games. I feel like she is making a mistake by messing with Lore, but I guess she just gone have to find out the hard way🤷🏾‍♀️ Sony is very childish and needs to grow up, I don’t like how he treated River. Lucas and Ocean are good together, hopefully everything works out with them. Cherice is just plain ol stupid. Bryce is an annoying idiot, like please just move on. Kelsi and her mom and sister just need to get a life🤦🏾‍♀️

Ocean was a beautiful woman that deserved the world. She was married to a no good man named Bryce, who not only slept with his receptionist during their marriage, but the receptionist gave Bryce an STD, which he brought back to his wife, Ocean. Ocean had had enough, and she filed those divorce papers so fast, once she found out that it wasn't just a one time thing, and I didn't blame her. In the meantime, Ocean met Lucas, who swept her off her feet, but Lucas had his own baggage, his girlfriend, Kelsi.

Lucas was a man of status, who was with his lady Kelsi. Kelsi only cared about what Lucas could do for her, and how much money he had. Lucas wanted someone with substance, and he found that in Ocean. Lucas knew that Ocean wasn't a side chick type of woman, but he wanted her to himself anyway, but the only problem was that his hand was forced, after Bryce threatened to lock Lucas's sister, Cherice away for a very long time, if he didn't stay away from Ocean.

River was Ocean's baby sister, but you would've thought that she was the oldest. River was sassy, and she spoke her mind. She was a free-spirited person, that did what she wanted, when she wanted to do it. River was very comfortable in her skin, and she disposed men, after she once had her heart broken by her ex, Michael. River didn't play when it came to Ocean, and they were the best of friends. River was happy to see a smile on Ocean's face, and even better that he wasn't her soon to be ex-husband, Bryce. Let's just say that River couldn't stand him.

Sony was Lucas's brother, who didn't take women seriously. Sony felt that since his mother left him, and his brother, Lucas, at an early age, then there wasn't any other woman that would love him either. Sony and River had a sexual connection, and they both cared for each other, but they both were too stubborn to admit it. They both were playing this cat and mouse game, on who could be the hardest when it came to their feelings. At first, it was cool, but it was starting to become too much, and they should be together already.

I pray that Ocean is ok, and I know that once Lucas and Sonny know of all the facts of Cherice's case, why she's really in there, what happened to their nephew, and how Bryce played Cherice, Bryce is going to pay with his life. I read this book so fast, and I'm ready for part 2.

WOW, Bryce...Yous the devil for sure...what an intro

So for an intro and the second time reading this author, albeit a little boring, it was still ok with a little bit of suspense to it...
Bryce, my man, you are the man of the hour it seems and I surely hope that Kraft and Karma get to you...
Ocean and River, girls, you guys are the bomb. Ocean with your sweet yet feisty self, you are a true gem and River, girl, I can feel you getting in some problems but just for your loyalty and for the stereotype that society has, you are definitely have the short end of the stick going on. But both of you ladies are very strong, intelligent and loyal black woman and you deserve all of the happiness you can get.
Now Lucas "Kraft" and Sony, man both of you are just foineee and all, but where Lucas is the pure Alpha, boss man, you have Sony being a child and a runner. You both are loyals but do love hard. Lucas, you need to work fast man, because evil is lurking to get to you and the ocean and Sony go on ahead and swim in your River, it's yours so go and get wet.
Kelsi, hope you do get to meet karma along with Charlote, Lena, Lore and even that darn Cherice...

Great Read

Definitely a good read from beginning to end and what a ending. Held me captive and I couldn't put it down. The storyline was really interesting and it had everything I don't know where to start. Drama, action, lies, cheating and the secrets kept me wondering what's happening next. Love Ocean and River relationship and how they have each other's back and their personalities. It's so many twist and turns in this book and I can't get enough. Ocean and Lucas are really good for each other. Sony and River need to get it together and Sony needs to stop holding his feelings in. What's wrong with Cherice? I feel for Young. Now I can't wait for Bryce to get what he deserves after that ending. And I know it's more to Lore and Kelsi and I can't wait to see what happens next. Job well done Nikki Brown

Damnnnnnnn....

I can't believe that Bryce would drug Ocean like that just to try n get her back smh. N I can't believe that she is pregnant wit Lucas' baby. I can't wait till he ask her about it. I which River n Sony get their shit together n admit that they really like each other. I can't believe that Bryce is messing wit Cherice's head like that smh. He is so damn messy man ugh... I can't wait to find out wat happened when Lucas busted in on him n Ocean. This book was definitely good n I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can't wait to read part 2! Great job mama!

OMG what the hell

I loved Ocean and Lucas love story her soon trifling ex-husband is Bryce is doing the most. Will Lucas shoot to kill will Ocean lose Lucas baby is Kelsi is she really pregnant by Lucas or does she even know whom. Will Lucas and Sony sister get a clue and realize she being played by her lawyer. What will happen when the truth comes out about Young being molested by Roger his mother boyfriend that why she killed him a case of self defense. Will River and Sony get back together are drift father apart. So many unanswered questions. Great read enjoyed it thoroughly.

Girl Nikki whyyyy is this book so bomb. From the first sentence it pulls you in. Let me start with Bryce because I cannot stand him they say you never know what you had until its gone. Ocean was a good wife to him but now she’ll even be a better woman to Lucas. I am so rooting for those two it don’t make no sense. Also I’m praying for a breakthrough for Young. As for his mother she is so dense and she irks my nerves she is too old to be this darn naive. Can’t wait for par 2

Really Good Stuff!

Normally I'm not one for instance love but I do understand attraction.I love the chemistry between the characters it is not only lively but its somewhat believable.I love the two women in this story its refreshing to get two female characters that are accomplished,intelligent and can take the gloves off when the situation warrants.The writer weaves a story that captures you from the beginning and doesn't let up.If you are,looking for a good story and good entertainment this is the one for you.

I couldn't stop reading this!! Loved this

I love Ocean and River!! Their names alone sre great but their personalities are great ss well. I wish Sony and Lucas would get it together before they lose Ocean and River. I knew that Young had to have been through something serious. But Cherice being so naive is pissing me off like crazy. I think Lore is Cherice's baby daddy. I can't wait for part 2!!

Great read!

I absolutely loved this book. I hope that Ocean and Lucas can work things out in the next book. I dislike that sneaky, conniving, selfish husband of Oceans. It's definitely his time to exit her life and let her be great! River and Sony need to put their pride to the side and make things official because they are not going to be happy until they do. Definitely can't wait for part 2 coming tomorrow May 13th 2018.

This book was really good. I can't stand Bryce. Lucas and Sony both need to get themselves together before they lose the sisters. Sony want River but is afraid of commitment and the fact that River is not his usual type. I hope Kameron comes clean to his uncle's. And hopefully Lucas got rid of Bryce and they can be together.

Bryce needs to realize that he lost Ocean and give her the divorce. Lucas needs to make things right with Ocean. I feel so bad for Young and what he went through. I hope Ocean can get him to open up to his uncles and get him some counseling. I don't like Sony and how he treats River. He needs to get over himself. Great job as always I enjoyed it.

Great read

This was a great read. I could not take my eyes off away from the pages as I read. River is so funny and straight to the point person. Don't need to get it together, he know he's feeling River. Lucas and Ocean makes a great couple. I hope they get back together. Bryce and Kelsi need to go.

I need pt 2!!!

OMG this book was sooo good. I love me a ride dude, but Sony was rude and a coward. I can’t believe he handled things with River. I love Lucas. He’s caught between a rock and a hard place. Ocean deserves to be happy and I hope she gets that. That ending left my mouth open and me feigning for pt 2!! This is a must read!

Great book

This book was a page turner. Ocean deserved love and I hope that she can get it from Lucas. Bryce is such s list and I hope he gets to meet Craft real soon. Rain deserves to be happy and she needs to stay away from Lore. Sony doesn't know what he wants but he needs to stop playing games. I can't wait til the next book drops!
