Money. Power. Respect. Money was the ruler, a boss who was strictly about her business. She did what she wanted and made no apologies for it. She was groomed with pristine teachings by her grandma, who demanded that Money make a promise, and that promise was no love allowed. Money had abided by that rule until a six foot two, sienna-skinned alpha entered her realm. He was demanding, assertive, and downright tempting with a style unmatched. Money’s desire for him grew wildly, prompting her to ignore the most important commandment in her life. After temptation, comes consequences and Money wasn’t prepared for the domino effect that had come with disobeying the forbidden rule.
It all falls down, everythings fair in love and war. Cant go back from here. Aint no going back. The right question nor answers were asked or given. I cant wait....
Money was a boss! Her cousins and even her own mother and aunt was jealous of her. It’s a shame that she couldn’t be her true self. I hope that Kenzo finds out the truth and that Misty is dealt with. Brix played Misty but she fell for his trap. Very good book; I am hoping that Money makes it.
Money should’ve put her pride to,the side and told him she didn’t order the hit on his sister! You feeling this man, you want this man. I feel Kenzo 100 percent. He thinks you came for his sister so you got what you deserved. You betrayed him. You having relations with him, but try to kill his sister, that’s the truth Kenzo is thinking.
#TEAMKENZO!!! Sorry...I still don't like Money. I do like them two together though.
She let her pride get her in some bullshit. She could have told him she ain't order that hit. And she should have known Mea would never do no shit like that without her word. AND she wouldn't have lied and said Money ordered the hit. So Money shoulda known some shit was up.
But then she made it seem like not only did she not give a fuck about him - by hurting his sister with no regard for him - but she actually had the nerve to feel betrayed by him choosing his sister. She would have chosen her sister in that instance.
Then she start throwing his biggest vulnerability in his face, talking bout she see why his father whooped his and his sister's ass, because they ain't shit. Her dumb ass knew the vibe was off. I get she gave him the benefit of the doubt because she has feelings for him. But she shoulda had some sense of self preservation. I know she wasn't scared. In her line of work you can't be scared to die. But she is the boss. She should have tried to calm him down just so she could get to the bottom of shit. I know she not comfortable with her feelings for him.
I like their chemistry a lot. Even though I don't like her, I like that Kenzo is able to infiltrate her walls. And I love his ass 😍. But far as this beef go, I'm #TeamKenzo. I hope he tear down their entire organization and really humble those Dupont bitches.
Then they can be together...but then again, I'm getting to know Charae Lewis and one of them probably gonna end up dead at the hands of the other.

Wow! Money was too hardcore and needed to realize at some point she needed to live her life by her own rules. I just hate the fact she was so nonchalant about certain things that she wouldn't be upfront with Kenzo and let him know she wasn't the one responsible like he thought. Misty was too dumb and it seemed as if no matter how many chances she received she always messed up. Brix was a sorry excuse for a man and especially a husband. He couldn't get right to save his life. Raelyn really should've talked with Kenzo with her issues and maybe a lot could've been avoided. I'm definitely team Kenzo! I loved how he had Money looking at things differently and how he was willing to do whatever to protect his sister. I get a bad vibe from Dell and I think it's more to him than he lets on just like some of the people in Money's family. I definitely need to jump into part 2 because even more problems will be brewing because of Kenzo and Money's last encounter.
Money, Power and Respect all come with a cost. You see Money isn't just some pretty thing walking around giving orders. Money was groomed into this life style. Power is what Money possess, and everyone answer to Money. Respect is earned, with both Money and Power. But what do you do when something more potent than those three elements come into play. Playing with fire can make you lose you respect, trusting too much you could lose money and falling in love you could become powerless. Charae flips this G code to an all female cast; no boys allowed. The Dupont's hold the power, but a certain someone is the Jack of all hearts. Persuasion is a heck of thing, but family betrayal is like a bullet to the heart. The thrill of it all will have you gasping, questioning the stupidity of some and the falling the connection of others. Hold you edges, cause they fall out.
I am speechless right now. I hate that they had that brief communication lapse because things could have ended different. It wasn't Mea who ordered the hit, it was Misty but now everything has escalated. I believe that Mint followed Money anyway and is going to help her out. Kenzo is a smart man I know that he will get to the bottom of everything. I believe that Dell is trying to partner up with Jacquelyn and set Money up too. The DuPont family is really screwed with their grandmother's rules against men. Money was to hardcore and she said some hurtful things to Kenzo before she got shot I don't know how they come back from that. The family is going to love to see Money down because I think they all envy her. This family will probably dismantle because they are all full of greed and very selfish. I am on edge and can't wait till the next book drops. You never disappoint and this book was on point from beginning to end.
I have a love, hate thing with Charae Lewis books. I love it when the book comes out, I know it's going to be GOOD, but I hate when the book ends. I just want more and more. First, I'm team Kenzo because he is a strong alpha man that knows what he wants and takes his time. He went straight to the source instead of acting off rumors. Kenzo suffered during his childhood and yet he was acceptable to love. I understand Money not giving up her family but she should have told the truth and made it her responsibility to take care of her cousin. Everyone is entitled to at least experience love. I cannot make anymore comments without giving the story away. I enjoyed this book, I was sad, happy, loved the sex, the music choices, it was good from the beginning to the end. Thank you Charae Lewis for sharing.
Listen I've never seen any family dynamics like these before. I've heard of grandma passing down recipes and old sayings but never have I heard that love was forbidden. The DuPont women took that rule seriously and there were repercussions and consequences if you fell in love. Money was groomed from a kid to run grandma's empire and enforce her rule of no love and she had no problems sticking to it. Money's resistance to love is challenged when Kenzo enters her life. While Money remains strong her cousin fails betraying the family and starting a war that left me speechless!! I'm so glad book two just dropped so I don't have to wait to see what's next. New author to me and I like your style.
Moolah aka Money grew up being schooled by her Grandmother Maxine. When Money DuPont took over the empire her grandmother created, her mother and aunt were furious! They still were on board and probably prayed Money would meet her doom. The DuPonts had one rule, never fall in love. When Kensington aka Kenzo comes back home to take over the family casino business he never expected to fall in love. Money is soo attracted to him and finds herself breaking the uno number 1 rule. Kenzo is an alpha male and he dominates Money. As he two lovers get loser, Money’ discover a thief in her organization,an her and Kenzo will cross paths when Kenzo’s sister gets shot. All is fair in love and war, I jus hope the consequences will be worth it. Damn! Part 2
Drama, deceit,lies, love and pain all in one pen game! Charae definitely penned In Money We Trust with the thought of pulling out every emotion known to man! Money a ruthless chic raised by her Gangstama to never fall in love but of course that's impossible when women are emotional creatures, there's always going to be one who breaks the barrier down and Kenzo was him! Both Money and Kenzo has evil jealous family and now they're torn apart but I'm hoping the truth will allow them both to see where the corruption was planted and become team MK or KM! I'm torn between the two because it just got real and they may never be one!
This book was so good. Very well written, great storyline and character development. Family Over Everything is the motto in this book when it comes to the DuPont women. Love has no place or priority in their hearts as well. Money was ruthless as they come and her own mother feared her rath. Kenzo a strong male who returns home fighting his demons but isn't afraid to go after what he wants. But when their worlds collide what seemed to be the beginning of a new love affair turns into hatred, revenge and the start of a war that will turn St Parklynn upside down. Can't wait to read how things end.
As usual Charae knocked it out of the park with this one. I seriously thought my family was dysfunctional but we don't have anything on money's family. I find their no men allowed rule interesting especially since the person who created the rule is dead and gone. Everybody deserves love and even though money is ruthless, I'm #teammoney even though her ego definitely came into play at the wrong time. Her mom, aunt and cousin are definitely haters and I don't like them. I'm anxiously awaiting part 2! This was a great read!
I can understand both Kenzo and Money on how this part ended. Money can't expect Kenzo to choose her over his family when she's not willing to choose him over her bitter grandma's messed up rules. That being said Kenzo can't expect her and her family not to go to the extreme when they have been violated. It would have been nice for Money to give him a heads up though. Kenzo and Rae had nothing to do with anything and were kept in the dark until it was too late and he did what he had to do at point. Not his fault. Now I'm off to read part 2.
I need pt.2 Money and the darn rules of her family. Kenzo is really trying to get into that cold heart of hers. But she's trying to stick with it but its getting harder each time they're together. Brix is a bih and needs to be dealt with. Misty was just dumb and in love and got played. But Raelyn shouldn't been a victim in her game. Money gotta be ok and i can't believe Kenzo did that. This book is good from beginning to the end
Money was ruthless! OMG she was everything as well! I loved how the DuPont family was a unified female front! Kenzington was an alpha male with a soft spot for Moolah. I liked how vulnerable Money and Kenzo were with each other. They revealed their darkest secrets to one another. Topics covered in this book are: drugs, mommy/daddy issues, bitterness, child abuse, betrayal, greed, infidelity, and so much more! Good cliffhanger and I'm ready for book 2!

Woooow this was some kinda of read. Brix is crazy for what he did and to get Rae caught up into it. As a husband he should have owned up to his wrongs and not run leaving his wife to fight his battles now you got Kenzo wanting revenge. Misty is very messy and will get what is coming to her as well. Money she should have just opened up her mouth and told him the truth she didn't make that call on his sister. Welp let's see what part 2 says.
Man...listen. This is her best work yet. I have never been so caught off guard by a plot. I was guessing the entire time. Im #TeamMoney but I LOVE Kenzo. I'm so torn. I'm so lost. I need book two ASAP. The writing, the flow, the plot. Everything. This book was everything.
Another fantastic read by Charae!! I loved Kenzo from the moment the touched down back in St. Parklynn. I was so glad he was breaking walls that Money had bui!t up. I really want her to experience I've and happiness like her sister Moelle. I pray Raelyn leaves Brix behind and gets with Billy lol. I hate Misty, Jocelyn, Jacquelyn and Brix.
She's done it once again people! With a unique storyline and wonderfully written characters Charae brought the heat one more! This book was so good and I'm anxious for the next one! Can't decide if I'm #TeamMoney or #TeamKenzo! I'm rooting for them both to recognize what they've found in one another and work it out! That cliffhanger though! 😱Great job!
Why she just ain’t tell him that she didn’t order the hit on Raelyn. Damn man Money so damn stubborn she let her pride get in the way. I don’t even know if I’m #TeamMoney or #TeamKenzo I wanted to be #TeamMonzo because i want the 2 of them together. Damn you Charae 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That’s all I can say right now I’m team Money period she just acting on how she was taught and what was instilled in her, but she is slowly breaking down. Misty got to go and so does Dell kenzo acting out of emotions but he may just have sealed his fate smh can’t wait to read part 2.
I don’t even know where to begin but that ending Lawd have mercy... I really like Money and Kenzo together but that alpha female and alpha male I knew it was going to be hard to either one of them to fully submit... That damn Misty and Brix done started a shit load of trouble that is surely down hill from here... Come on part 2
Misty was dead wrong for what she started. Brix should of took his wife with him. Kenzo I hope Money don't take you back cause you was dead wrong. I'm not feeling Uncle Dell something not right with him. I can't wait for Jocelyn, Jacquelyn, Misty, Brix and Uncle Dell get put to sleep. Bully needs a girlfriend maybe him and Mint can make something happen?
Moolah and Kenzo were really falling for one another but one messed up situation has really screwed that up! Brix is an idiot , Misty is bitter and wrong for the stunt she just pulled and the DuPonts are one messed up family of women! Can't wait to see how Charae wraps this up! It's about to get ugly!
I can't wait for book two. Please don't make us wait long. Money should of told kenzo the truth. She didn't know what he was talking about. She was loyal to her family, but they wasn't loyal to her. Misty was a fool. I hope Brix get what is coming to him. Foolish people.
Loved this story ready for part 2. There's so much that will come to light with these dysfunctional families I can't wait. I hope that Kenzo and Money will work out. The 2 of them together running things would be awesome.
Wow, I am to mad at the end of this book. I like this story. I can't believe how heartless them DuPont are. Why Money. didn't speak up to clear her name. Looking forward to the next episode.
Wow very good book. Definitely a page turner. I didn't want to put it down. Money is ruthless. Can't wait for part 2!!! I have read all of Charae Lewis books and I love them all but this one right here is my favorite
