For the past 4 years, Aulani Campbell has been thriving in the blazing hot city of Miami. After being packed up and shipped to the states, from the Island of Jamaica, Aulani must learn to handle keeping the family business afloat as well as finding out who she truly is. Being the Global Communications Director for the Jamaican Mafia is proven to be a challenge but she refuses to fail. She’s focused on solely making her mother proud until Santavi Freeman comes in to sweep her off of her feet. He’s the Prince Charming that she’s always dreamt about but self-doubt starts to weight in and Aulani doesn’t come clean about who she really is.
Athena Craig is the best friend and wing woman that any girl would be happy to have. She’s there to cheer Aulani on every step of the way, even when she’s wrong. But she soon learns that even the strongest friend’s need help. Athena is drowning in her own relationship sadness while her best friend is living in a fairytale. Leaving her to question will she see her Happily Ever After.
Secrets don’t do these two women any good and their lives start to unravel before their very eyes. Take a journey through the City of the 305 in this new-aged Hood Fairytale.

an awesome read

I hated that her mother was such a snake that she plotted against her daughter, but I hoped her and Luca got what was coming to them. I plan to read more books by this author and I hope there is an update coming soon.

Interesting Read

Loving the city theme storylines. Lani & Santavi will be great together! Luca and Kenai were wrong on so many levels. Hate the unresolved ending though!

This story is definitely not done yet. I know there's so much more with Lani and Santi. Even more with Athena and Apollo. I hope A. Gavin gives us more.

Good read

It was fast paced and I liked the story line and how her other characters from her other books know each other. I wish she would have finished the story but I liked it.
