Once Upon a Hood Love: A Philadelphia Fairytale
From a loveless foster home to the arms of a controlling man, Porsche Christian has suffered verbal and mental abuse in the worst way during her twenty-six years of life. Adopted by her aunt who runs a foster home only to collect the monthly state checks, a then 16 year old Porsche runs away from the dysfunctional chaotic place right into the arms of older manipulating Quamé. Quamé is a control freak who preys on the minds of abused and abandoned teenagers. He lures them in and seclude them from the rest of the world while using their bodies for his monetary gain. He sweet-talks a beautiful naive Porsche into a lifestyle of stripping and escorting, but after eight years of sexual exploitation and abuse, she wants out. However, Quamé won't have it over his dead body. Porsche devises an escape plan and flees town; but what happens when Quamé discovers his prized possession has escaped?

Everything except a wife to share it with. When life sends a beautiful stranger his way, he welcomes a struggling Porsche into his lavish lifestyle with open arms. But who is this man? Is he everything he says he is? Can he be the link to the chain that's been missing in her life and give her the love and family she's always longed for? Or will her toxic string of bad luck follow her for the rest of her life?
In the hood, they say there's no such thing as a happily ever after.
Come with these characters to find out if that's true in Once Upon A Hood A Philadelphia fairytale.

Porsche and Paris
I felt so sorry for Porsche. She didn’t know how to get out of her situation. I’m so happy that she finally got the courage to get away. This was my first book by this author and I want to check out more of her work.

This story line was very different and I really enjoyed this novella... it's crazy how the people you love treats you like scum... especially Quame & Amber they both got what was coming to them especially since Amber wanted to be his rider like he wasn't pimpin her out to... but I'm glad that lola and Porsche made up and they are on better terms because lola thought she knew everything but didn't know what she was walking into.. Paris was God sent and to know that he was working for Porsche dad and was able to reunite the was amazin. She got her prince charming
