Push
He's been called a thug by some, a killer by other, and a few even see him as ruthless. However, Push has paid his dues. He's paid his "debt to society". Now, against all odds, he simply wants to make a living and become a productive member of society.
Harlem's underworld is home for Push. It's a much different world than many others, with dark and unfriendly streets, where gangsters, thugs and hustlers are the superstars who rule. It is here in Harlem that Push has been compelled to handle a task that happens to be right up his alley. Push has been hired to kill. Suddenly, Harlem's lawless encounters have a new judge and jury to balance its rights and wrongs, its beefs and its scores.
Reginald 'Push' Jackson, the main protagonist, is a criminalized modern day hero of sorts. A hit man who is the product of the streets and the penal system, his journey is one that weaves a web of intrigue involving a multitude of characters. From the boardroom to the bedroom, from the beauty parlor to Harlem's social hot spots, we become entangled in their world. With the holiday season as its backdrop, Push pushes its reader to the edge, then pulls them back in for more!
Push isn't just a thug, he's every woman's warrior and every man's dream. And you shouldn't take that personal.

Graphic, sexual, brutally honest -- Reading one of Relentless Aaron's books is like watching a man get hit by a bus. You're horrified, but you can't look away. Aaron isn't afraid to talk about things that really happen, and even if they seem absurd, the sad thing is... this fiction is disturbingly real.

Reginald “Push” Jackson was a good kid from Harlem. He never meant to do anyone any harm. His parents raised him better than that…But then they were murdered and he was left on his own. And that’s when the real trouble began…
Street fights. Guns. Drugs. Push fought his way through the back alleys to become one of Harlem’s most powerful players. He made a name for himself for being tough. But he was loyal, too. Push would do anything to keep his loving sister, and his baby nephew, out of harm’s way—until the law caught up with him, and he landed himself in a federal penitentiary.
Fifteen years later, Push has paid his dues. Though he planned to leave the thug life behind once he got out prison, he suddenly finds himself back in the game. But this time there are new players, and the rules are more dangerous—and deadly—than ever.

I'm going to have to go against the grain on this one. After hearing so much about this book and all the 5 star reviews I just had to read it. While "Push" was good, it was not all that to me. For one, I would have liked to have read more from Push's perspective and less from Roy. It was a good book but somewhat of a disappointment compared to the hype surrounding it.
