This Thug Love Got Me Trippin: A Belize Christmas

Rate this book
After being dumped last year by her fiancé Knox on Christmas day, Cassie “Sassy” Treyton isn’t too happy about the holiday season in Belize this year. Not only is she upset about losing the love of her life, but she feels pressured by her mother regarding marriage and children. After enduring many years of educational sacrifice, Sassy finally accomplished her goal as a lawyer. She graduated law school at the top of her class and now she is a hard-working career woman. Yet, her mother only brings up her disappointing love life. The despairing comments and constant comparison to her married friends has made Sassy regret chasing her dream. Dateless and no one special in her life, Sassy is faced with the dilemma of returning home alone for the holidays. When her bestie Cakes comes up with a plan to save the day, and help her win Knox back in the process, she reluctantly jumps on board. The plan involved his cousin Ace Hood. He is smart, very good looking, charming, and has a body that turns heads. Ace has fallen on hard times and he is desperately trying to hold it together. It’s just a matter of time before the bill collectors catch up to him. Therefore, when Cakes approached him with a plan to help him out financially, he accepts. Quickly, the master plan miserably falls apart. The arrangement between Sassy and Ace was more like a match made in hell. The moment they meet, they collide. They don’t see eye to eye on anything. Ace thinks she’s obnoxious, insecure, and dramatic. Sassy thinks that he’s a broke thug with no ambitions or goals, and he’s destined to be in the penal system. Unexpectedly, things take a major turn. Secrets and lies are exposed. Sassy’s heart is shattered. Ace is apologetic. You have to read This Thug Love Got Me A Belize Christmas and find out what happens on the luxurious private island.

I love to write. Making up stories and bringing characters to life is who I am. I use it as therapy. It was my escape from the inner city struggles of Chicago/Gary. I have seen a lot of crazy things and overcame even more. Those situations play out in the stories that I write. The drama will have you speechless.

Loved it!

This was a book to make you fall in love with the storyline. I have been to Belize, and it is a beautiful place for romance. I'm so happy for Ace and Cassie. I wanted to punch Knox in his throat. The nerve of him. He needed to go and have several seats. What a punk. This is a must read and a great romance, just in time for the holidays.

Perfect Holiday Story

This story was warm and refreshing.And also an example of how not to judge a book by it's cover.Sassy was so keen on proving herself to a man that wasn't worthy of her love that she almost missed out on love at first site,even though it came about in a most unusual way.As fate would have it Knox showed his true colors and drove her right into the arms of Ace where she belonged.Although a Christmas story,I would love to see where things go from here!

This Was A Bomb Love Story

I really enjoyed reading this story. I was team Ace from jump. I love an underdog that has to make it through the struggle. Sassy was not one of my favorites but after her reality check she's alright with me. I loved the way they fell in love. It was different and that is what made me love it the most.

Satisfied Reader

Opposites indeed attract. I loved Ace character and even though he was put in a compromising position it all worked out. Sassy was living for ger parents but with Ace by her side he showed her how to live for herself. Knox was a butthole and I'm so glad Ace saw right thru him and dropped some knowledge to Sassy. This was definitely a great read

Another great read!!

Christmas in Belize was just awesome. Sassy and Ace kept me laughing and intrigued. I knew they were meant to be together. It was good they realized it as well. The family and ex drama only added excitement and a surprise twist. Great writing makes me want more.

Short and sweet

Honey that Ace and Cassie (Sassy) kept me laughing. Those two could not get along at all in the beginning. But after a short period of time they they a complete 360. And couldn’t keep each other off their minds. I’m so happy Ace got his self together. And Cassie too. Loved the ending ❤️

LOVED IT

I really enjoyed this novella and I couldn't put it down. At first, I was put off with Sassy for being so judgemental. Really loved Ace Boggie and Sassy, they're just what the other one needed. This book had just enough of everything that made it a great read. Highly recommend and job well done Princess Diamond.

This book was good and funny. Ace and Sassy had me in tears laughing so much. Who would’ve thought they would wind up together after their first disastrous encounter. Knox who? He pulled a sucker move with his antics, and it backfired on him.

This book had me in my feels tearing up at the Christmas dinner and Ace's letter. He was such a stand up guy that ran across some bad luck. I will say Sassy worked my nerves at times though. Great job Ms Diamond

Good Read

Even though I enjoyed the book there were too many errors to consciously give it a 5 stars rating. I knew something extra was with Knox. I'm glad Ace found his path to happiness and wealth.
