Karma and Myles: Downside of a Thug's Love

Rate this book
Meet Karma, a soon to be 20-year-old, who is given her name as a result of an ongoing extramarital affair. After her father dies, Karma inherits a fortune from him. As a college student loaded with lots of money, Karma doesn’t fit the description of a typical college student. She doesn’t care for anything that comes with the college lifestyle – the parties and people included.

Best friends with Tiffani, her older cousin by seven years, Karma is introduced to a much more adult lifestyle. Karma spends her weekends in 21+ clubs alongside her big cousin. There, she meets Myles Kensington, the son of a well-known drug lord.

Myles, having always been the type to create his own lane, became a billionaire from packaging and distributing heavy artillery in the streets and overseas. Sometimes exhausted from being a successful business owner at the age of 28, he likes to unwind at the same club Karma frequents. The two cross paths after an apparent mix-up in the VIP section. Exchanging heated words, in the beginning, turns into the two exchanging numbers in the end.

Myles immediately finds himself drawn to Karma and doesn’t think twice about pursuing her. There’s just one issue. Myles has some extra baggage that proves hard to get rid of.

Tiffani inadvertently forces Karma to be “grown,” but is Karma actually ready for what all comes with being grown, especially when it comes to dating?

What would you do if you found out the man you’re physically tied to is emotionally tied to someone else?

BOOMMMMMMM 💣💥💣💥

😮😮😮😮😮 what a endingggggggggggg. I just knew something like that was going to happen once Kelis found out and to add insult to injury she just had to bring that baby into the mixed. I just pray that nothing happened to Myleigh in the process of her momma being dumb. Poor Karma have to face the fact that she somewhat got played even though Myles was all about her it's just the principal that he's still married and got a whole 5 year old. I also hope nothing happen to Karma and the baby with Kelis being stupid. I must say Traci you REALLY redeemed yourself from your last two books, I REALLY loved this one and so ready for part 2. Good job!!!

Karma and Myles

Myles is one dumb dude. He should've known eventually everything would come to light and Kelis wasn't working with a full deck. The moment he realized he had deep feelings for Karma he should've told her what was up. Kelis is beyond bitter and Shandreka messy ass needed to mind her business. Karma got knocked down to reality rather quickly and I can only imagine the karma she'll bring to Myles for not being completely honest. Apparently Kelis isn't wrapped too tight in the head and she better hope Myleigh doesn't witness her getting dragged by Tiffani. Sometimes a thug's love isn't all it's cracked up to be. #0108

Great way to start a series and I know it's only going to get better. Really loving Karma and Myles together even though of his situation. I really wish he would have listened to his mother and told Karma the truth. Now, it going to blow up in his face. Kelis, is crazy trying to hold onto a man and marriage that's been over with. After that ending which I definitely didn't see coming, I can't wait to see what happens next. Very well written and enjoyed the storyline. Never a disappointment reading your book Traci B.....Job well done.

OMG what the hell

I loved Karma and Myles story but he should have been upfront with her about being married. Karma has give her all to Myles and now she pregnant with his baby. Myles already has a daughter that a lot to take in. His soon to be ex-wife is Kelis and their daughter Myleigh in this mess. Kelis is a woman scorned and her hiring her brother to burn down his trap house dangerous mind. Then she bought a knife what stable women does that. Karma didn't know he was married he was to good to be true. Imagine all the lies he told.

Good book

Karma is young but she meets a guy who is willing to be with her because of her innocence. He makes her realize what love is & how to deal with problems. It's good to see that people be trying to do right but you can not make people love you or want you. Sometimes you just have to walk away & give people their space. Love I'd a beautiful thing especially when you give it freely & honestly. Ready for part 2 to see what will happen & how Karma & Myles deal with all the dram & deceit. Now in to part 2 to see what is good especially since the wife just found out.

Truth First!

Oh Boy! Karma James...young, fun and full life never thought one night would lead to the love of her life Myles Kensington! On the other hand Myles is in a loveless marriage that he cannot seem to get out of and his wife Kelsi will only divorce when she is ready. The romance is going strong and then one night of hanging Kelsi finds about Karma ,,Shid’s hitting the fan and Myles will feel the cookie crumble fast!!!!

I loved it!

So where do we start, Karma is a good girl, Myles is a good guy however, he should have been up front about his situation. Ellis is too dumb for me. I hope we have a happy ending in part 2.

Bomb azz series🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I hope Karma and her baby makes it. Kelis is too conniving. I cant wait till part 2. This was definitely a page turner from start to finish. Miles should have been upfront from start he better hope Karma and her baby makes it or thats some Karma for his azz.

Nice

Myles is crazy! He should have told Karma he was married. Kelis is a straight psychopath. I truly hope she gets what she deserves! I pray Karma is okay! You left me with a cliffhanger. Don't make us wait too long for part 2.

Great book

Myles should have been honest with Karma from the beginning. He basically was living two life’s a husband and a boyfriend. I knew once Kelis found out trouble was going to be paradise. Great read.

DRAMA!!!!!

Kelis and Myles marriage has ran it's course. Kelis love for Myles seems more like an obsession. Myles should have known that Kelis wasn't going to walk away easily. Karma don't realize that her knight in shining armor is hiding not one but two secrets.

That was a best seller

Things start to get juicy and now it's time for part 2. Kyle and karma are meant for each other but he should have kept it real. As far as Ellis she should have just let that man go but then again it wouldn't for a juicy read right

Wow..

Myles was wrong. He should have told Karma from the beginning what was going on in his life. He should have let her make her own decisions on weather she would stay or go. Kelis is stupid.. No way I would stay with a man who clearly don't want me!! What will Karma do? What will Myles do??

Ms. Kelis is a mess...I really love Myles and Karma together even under their circumstances. That ending for my pressure up...I didn't see that coming at all....I can't wait to read part 2..this book is now one of my favorites...#0108
