She’s no stranger to the street life like her friend, so when she gets the chance to get with a certified thug in Ricko’s brother, Jabari Cook, she jumps at the chance to be the Bonnie to his Clyde. Will she be prepared for the ride this young thug has in store for her, or will she have to give up? Jabari Cook is looking to get to the money, everything else is irrelevant. He is on a mission to take what he believes is rightfully his and will stop at nothing to claim his throne. Jabari will remove whoever or whatever is in the way of his money; family or not. Sophia wants to be his ride or die, but will she be used as a pawn to get him where he wants to be, or will he finally meet his match? Come take this ride through the streets of Chicago with these two brothers as they build their empire while juggling deception and love.
This was a wonderful read with the best part was that we didn't have to wait for each book to dropped because we had all of it together of a story about a good girl meeting and falling for a thug or the other way around where a thug got himself a good girl. This was not your usual trap queen or trap girl and the trap guy but of a boss man kingpin meeting and falling for a green good girl. Wonderful and a joy to read specially with all of the unimaginable twist and turns going on while karma came they and did her magic visits tricks. Very good...
This was one of the funniest, action packed, thug books I have ever read! Everybody had jokes. The dialogue was too real! I hate that Sophia turned out that way, but oh well. There were some editing errors that were so ANNOYING: the same name being spelled different ways, people being called the wrong names, etc. Is it really that hard for an author to find an editor nowadays? Editing errors aside, definitely recommend.
This was a good series Red and Rico are a hilarious pair. The organic way they gel for each other should be more attainable in real life there'd be so many more joyful ppl. Thanks to the author I didn't want the book to end although with all of the drama and escapades this was a very adventurous and exciting page turner. I hope to fond another as exciting. Happy reading
I really enjoyed reading this series. It had a little bit of everything drama, jealousy, snakes and envious ppl. I was so glad that all of the snakes and jealous ppl got their karma.Red and Rick finally got their happy ending after enduring so and Donte finally admitted he was wrong for the way he treated Reese and they finally got it together. This author did an awesome job writing this series it was truly a page turner and attention getter
This will be unforgettable I promise that. This story kept me in a whirlwind kind of way and I love it. I was right there with each of them so it seemed. The story line was just awesome. It was so much Juicy awesome things going on I xant say them without telling the story and I don't like doing that. You all please read it for yourselves you will see what I mean and I think you will share some of the same as I do. Lata
Awesome storyline the book capture ur attention from the moment u open it and begin to read this is my second book I’ve read from this author and both times she didn’t disappoint. This book comes full circle cause katana is a bad girl and everyone got what they deserved job well done 👍🏽
Can you say wowwww. I’m glad Arianna got her happy ending. Happy Reese and donte made it too. It’s just messed up how family and so called friends would do you, cuz they have larceny and envy and jealousy in them. Jabari and treka and Sophia got what they deserved. So did Nyla ol hating sneaky ass.
This series actually held my attention. I was so glad they came out on top and can I say I love Donte character. He was the best part of the series . That no nonsense type of man is the absolute best. It just seems that the story should've centered around him and Reese. My opinion. But anyway, good job by the author.
The typical hood love story with a bit of brother and best friend back stabbing issues. Questions about loyalty definitely floated around this book. There were a few grammatical errors and names switched around, other than that the story was solid and entertaining enough to read the entire book.
Red and Rico met under unusual circumstances but who knew it would lead to so much more. Drama, mayhem, fake friends and love brought these two closer together. With Donte, Reese, Sophia and so many others in their circle, both Red and Rico will come to know who their people really are and who are not.
I really enjoyed this book. The only thing that I didn't like was the girls and guys referring to the ladies as bitches. Even though it seems to be common today. First time reading anything by J Dominique it won't be the last! Good read
This book just expressed how a man could really love his woman and stop at nothing to prove it and to express the importance of true friendship I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the Authors next book or should I say books. I like this author
I enjoyed this storyline Ricko surprised me he was really a great guy and loyal. He loved him some Red boy did they have some jealous envious haters in their lives. Glad all the snakes where handled.💓❤💟💞💕
It was like watching a movie, a very good one at that! It wasn’t long and drawn out. It got right to the point. I loved Red, Ricky, Reese and Donte. I never wanted it to end. Good job J Dominique. Keep them coming ❤️
This book set was Fiiiyyyyaaa.. They all overcame the silly things that life threw at them. It's funny how people can do the weirdest things and think nothing of it..
This was one of the best series ever. It had a lot of twists and turns, ups and downs, betrayal and hate. But, in the end, love conquered all. Great job.
I loved this whole story with Red and Rico it was a true love ❤️ story from the hood to a better life. It was sad 😞 in some places but it’s life. Enjoy reading This
Man this was a good one! Honey there was some SCANDALOUS people in this series smh but definitely a great read and you will fall in love with Red & Ricko!
