When A Savage Falls for A Good Girl: A Crazy Hood Love

Rate this book
Rhythm Mitchell is a single mom who works, comes home and spends time with her son. Her last boyfriend, hurt her bad, so she swore off men and had no problem being alone. She stays away from drama unless necessary and her worst enemy is her best friends sister.

Zahra feels like Rhythm has been around too long, which interfered with bonding moments with her sister. However; Zahra and her sister can’t stand one another but when she needs Kalila’s help, will the animosity they have towards one another stand in the way?

Kruz Garcia is every woman’s fantasy and even though he’s a savage in the streets, no one could take him away from the love of his life, Zahra. She’s the only woman who can make him weak, and she knows it. Unfortunately; she assumed the hold on his heart would never be broken and she was correct until one woman stepped in by accident and turned his world upside down. This woman had him feeling things Zahra didn’t, and that became a problem for his ex, who now wanted to do destroy his happiness. Will the love he once had for her outweigh the damage she’s gonna cause, or will he show her his savage ways once the truth comes out?

Great storyline

Great story but whoever edited this needs to rethink their whole profession! There were so many typos! I want to read parts 2 and 3 but fearful of the same thing....

So disappointed!!! But great ideas of a story...

First time reading this author and after I read the synopsis I was so ready to tear into this serie as fast as my eyes would read the words, but was I disappointed... I mean, the story is great, the ideas were great, the characters were great (on some) but the narrating was awful. So awful that I couldn't bring myself to give it the 5 stars that it needed and it killed me to give it the 3 stars. In truth this was mor like a 1 or 1/2 star.
Authors it's very annoying when you start a chapter or a section and you have to keep going back to the beginning to make sure of who is talking, thinking and acting. It's like reading a story that has no break, no comas, no period and simply paragraphs.
That said, where do you get these people???
Kruz is bae and a no nonsense kind of guy. Very loyal, protector and ruthless. Alpha, thug, boss man and he is THAT MAN. He takes loyalty to a different level and won't tolerate anyone, not even his mama for not being loyal to him.
Rithym is a very guarded woman, also very loyal, protective and direct. He does her thing and that's it.
Kenron "Jamaica" is the other Kruz and more his beta than anything. He is extremely loyal, fiercely protective and also deranged like Kruz, but when they love, they love hard and strong and deep.
Kalila is the sweetheart, protective, lovable, understanding, loyal and see good in people.
Zhara, don't know when karma will rend her a visit, but she needed to come quick if not now. She is just too much and too messy. And Kommon, can't wait to hear your part
Now and see who you are...
Kandy need you to have the same visit s zhara.
Now, I hope it will improve so I could properly give this the rating it deserves.

Being honest is key to growth

Honestly I really hate giving bad reviews because I never want to hurt anyone feelings especially concerning their craft. This book is absolutely unbelievable. I have no idea why the majority of urban books include men cheating and completely disrespecting women. They’re arrogant and possessive but somehow that is supposed to turn the female audience on? I’m lost because we know for a fact in real life if men were to treat your girlfriend or sister like this we will more than likely tell her to run for the hills. Kruz was absolutely disrespectful towards the mother of his child. He cheated regardless if she gave him permission. They both cheated. I honestly tried to give this book a fair chance but at 50% I gave up and skipped through until I got to the end. In my opinion, I will get off of social media and stop watching reality television and sit back and think about real life issues. I will grasp my inspiration from everyday couples. Because this he cheated, he’s a drug dealer crap is dead and played out. So I honestly can’t say that I was intrigued. I was bored. Please take these low reviews as feedback to grow as a writer.

Jamaica was so in denial when it came to being in love with Kalila. Of course, his actions showed that she had his heart, but she needed a verbal confirmation. After time past without her, he knew that he needed to step his game up, or he might lose Kalila for good. I loved the brotherhood between Jamaica and Kruz. No matter what happened, each of them knew they had each other's back.

I loved the loyalty between Kalila and Rhythm. Blood wouldn't have made them any closer. They were best friends goals....when you seen one, you most likely would see the other one. They worked together, and they were each other's backbone. It was refreshing that little Axel had a godmother like Rhythm, since Zahra was so evil.

Zahra might have been Kalila's blood sister, but she definitely didn't act like it. Unlike Rhythm and Kalila, Zahra didn't care about anyone but herself. She felt entitled, and I never understood what Kruz ever seen in Zahra. She might have been attractive on the outside, but her heart was disgusting. I pray that Zahra's baby isn't Kruz's because she doesn't deserve him.

Excellent

The ending was epicccccccc. Tina always show up and show out and I surely can't wait for part 2. Zahra I can't stand her for nothing in the world and she realllllllll nasty for sleeping with brothers. I do have a feeling she got the results to read that it was Kruz baby because I don't believe it's his daughter. I knew Kandy would be a problem after the divorce, now I'm dying to see what else drama she caused. I hope Kalila and Rythem are good because from them being nosey may have caused the to get hurt. Part 2 ASAP

Tina J Does Not Come to Play

This right here is why I love to read. Tina J threw so many plot twists in here my mind was working overtime. Kruz is my boo and I am staking claim on him. I would have loved to hear more from Kommon. That damn Kash had me cracking up. Zahra makes my skin crawl with her spiteful and stupid self. Mrs. Garcia needs to sit herself down somewhere. Jamaica is bomb too. Tina always has those characters that you love and then those you love to hate. Fire fire read.

Great Read

Really loved this book from beginning to end and what a ending. So loved Kruz and Jamaica and then with Rhythm and Kalimantan. I can't wait for Zahra to get what she deserves. Please let the baby belong to Kommon. So much drama, lies and secrets that I can't wait to see what happens next. On to the next installment. Highly recommend this book. Job well done Tina J, you never cease to amaze me.

A DEFINITE page turner!

I definitely enjoyed this book it lasted me 2 days but it could've been read in one if I wasn't so tired. I'm definitely going for part 2 I have to know what happens next. I'm definitely recommending my girl and guy friends that read this book. It has everything you want to read about in this book. Thanks to the author you did your thing and I appreciate it.

I hate low reviews but i had to

This book in my opinion was trash. The disrespect was up there. How you fall in love in a few weeks after coming out of a four year relationship? How are you disrespectful to your mother and the mother of your child with no remorse? Furthermore what mother laughs at their ten year old child stealing? I have so many unanswered questions, i feel like the book was rushed and not carefully put together

Mannnn this book was so good! I can't believe Cruz messed up like that! Zahara is a nasty ass and I hope she gets everything coming to her. I bet that ain't Kruz's baby. They mama so trifling. She probably knew all along. I hope that Khalila and Rhythm are ok. They knew better!!

OMMFG...

I almost looked up curse words in another language just so I could put them in my review. I won’t to throat punch Zahra, Kruz and his mammy. Kruz let that ho# bag Zahra get away with too much. Her and his moms relationship is fishy. He should’ve left Rhythm alone if he wasn’t ready to be faithful. They got me hotter than fish grease!!

When a savage for a good girl

As always Tina J did not disappointed with this one. It held my attention from the the very first page. I loved me some Rhythm and how she goes hard for her son and Kalia and her mom.Zahra is crazy and Amber secret are about to come out. Kruz mother is something else. The ending is crazy definitely reading part 2.
