Tangled Webs: Love, Lust, & Diamonds
Love. Takes you to the highest of the highs. Lust. Sends you crashing back down to earth to face your own reality, especially when you’re lusting over the wrong person. For Raquel Davis, she unearths both sides of this dainty coin. Cameron is the man of her dreams, and she wants nothing more than to marry him and to love him unconditionally. However, her monthly appointment has Raquel diving deep into the garden of forbidden fruit. Will partaking of the delicious fruit cost Raquel her ultimate dream? Or will love conquers all and make Raquel’s dreams come true?
Cameron Hodges is living his best life. With his woman Raquel firmly by his side, he’s accomplished one of his biggest goals in life, owning a jewelry store with his best friend Daree. Diamonds. Supplying the highest quality of diamonds and gold to people everywhere. Even though he has a plethora of good things happening in his life, Cameron quickly learns that everything that glitters ain’t gold. Try as he might, Cameron gets caught up in a tangled web that is much harder to break through.
Tracey Thompson is married to Daree and is the epitome of a perfect wife. She has the perfect body, perfect hair, is the perfect mother to her children, and prides herself on being nothing less than the best. Anything her man wants, she’d do without question. Until she accidentally stumbles across what she thought is her husband’s biggest secret, instantly sending her spiraling out of control. Tracey’s perfect world is no longer perfect and coming to terms with this new reality is proving to be a much difficult task. Will Tracey get a grip on life or will she get caught up in a web of her own demise?
Daree Thompson just wants to be loved, be appreciated for the strong man that he is, wants to work hard, and to take care of his family. He prides himself on being the most loving and trustworthy man, husband, and father. His beautiful wife Tracey makes him the happiest man on earth...or so he thought. Getting pushed to his limits was never a part of the plan. We all know what they say when a woman’s fed up, it ain’t nothing you can do about it. But what happens when a man is fed up? Will Daree and Tracey survive the sudden upheaval in their marriage and their lives?
This sunny South Florida crew will get you so tangled up in their webs, you won’t want to break free. Twyla T Presents brings you this new urban romance debut by upcoming author Zarkia. Find out just how woven are these webs in this first book in the Tangled Love, Lust, and Diamonds series.

I need her and Cameronto be on the same team same time. Ugh what is Tracey story something happened to appear the emotions she's carrying around. Hunny Dareer omg say it ain't so... that broke my heart truly with his secret. 5 stars aren't enough for your first book and great publishing company you had my attention from beginning to end. Not be petty like Twyla T drop part two shoot

Coming out swinging
For this to be a debut story, this author came out of the gate swinging. This book kept my attention, and I looked forward to what was happening next. The plot thickens with each character, making the twists and turns that much more enjoyable. This book leaves you with so many questions, so I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author. Good job on her coming out book and implementing herself in the industry.

Awesome!!
This book was great. I hated that I had to put it down because I had to go to work. Tracey needs some serious help for real. Daree is just trying to live his life for his family. Cameron was dead wrong for doing his wife Raquel. Raquel isn't any better than her no good husband either. I'm just waiting for everything to hit the fan with those two. I can't wait to read part 2.

Wowzers
So this cliffhanger ending got my jaw on the floor! How in the world is Cam raising his brother n sister cuz papa is a rollin stone. How sway?? I think everyone is selfish with the exception of Tracey I actually feel sorry for her, for now! Daree is certainly playing for the wrong team. Definitely waiting for part 2!

Loved it
Zarkia you really did your thing. I had a feeling Cam's dad was up to no good. Quelz have the nerve to be vex with Cam and I am sure her baby belongs to Pwyll. I feel it for Tracey though. I had a feeling that Daree was gay. The sex scenes between him and his wife said alot. SMH. I can't wait for part 2 to drop.

Kicking My Own Behind
My oh my. How I have been sleeping. Zarkia really drew me in from jump with this one. My only regret is waiting so long to read it. All I can say is I can read the completed series because part 3 recently came out. The only thing I can say is if you haven't read this baby yet you are definitely sleeping.

So many tangled webs
This was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see how things will play out for the couples once all the secrets come out. Book 2 is surely gonna be just as good as this book and is anticipating reading more from this author!

This was a good book. It kept me engaged and wanting to know what was next. I really think Pwyll is not the father and will get caught up. Daree is gay. What a surprise! Tracey is losing her mind. Can't wait until part 2 comes out.

Okay!
I don't know how so many people can get caught up in lies and deceit like this, but all these people need a new life. I'm not even sure what's going on with Tracey. Raquel need to fix her life, and every man in here is disgusting.

I really enjoyed this drama-filled read. Shady characters led the way keeping secrets & being deceptive. Tracy needs to move along. Q is in a difficult situation. Cam's life is in a world of turmoil with his new found information. Planning to read next part soon.

Deceitful
I gave this book 4 stars because it moved slow and I wasn't going to read the 2nd book but towards the end it picked up. There is a big web of deceit and lies in this book. Now I want to know what's going to happen next.
