Southern Thugs Do It Better

Rate this book
Brooklyn-bred, Infinitie was used to the struggle. After mother was sentenced to a prison bid, she fled to North Carolina for a new start, not at all expecting to fall for a southern thug. Handsome, charming and unlike any man she has ever met, Fetty came into her life at the moment she needed him most. She had felt numb for so long but the more she learned about Fetty, she realized that he and his crew were unlike any men that she'd ever met. It doesn't take long for Infinitie to see that there is nothing like a southern thug.

Those southern thugs

Infinitie couldn't catch a break. She lost her loved ones in such a short amount of time. Meeting Fetty seemed to bring some sunshine but we'll see though, especially how this one ended. Seven irked me for some reason. I knew he was going to do what he did. I understood his feelings towards Alexis but his actions had me side eyeing him. Emir and Janai, smh this is a sticky situation. I just hope Janai is able to stay strong. Alexis, she's all messed up. The story was good, characters were written well too.

Started out a bit slow but it did get better. I'm feeling pretty bad for Alexis and I'm extremely annoyed with Seven. I mean...really?

This was definitely a good read... It caught my attention and just drew me in... After the 1st chapter the storyline quickly built up... I went through many emotions while reading... Then there was times that I did not know how I wanted to feel... But I was definitely in my feelings a lot... But now I have to wait for part 2 just when things really start to heat up and I am mad about that... ugh...
Infinite had to deal with so many losses in such a short time... Just when she found happiness and is just living life... She loses another loved one.... The loss of Julio the man that was like her father really broke her down... Yet it finally gave her the push that she needed to do something with her life... She moved away from Brooklyn to get away from everything and a the bad memories... She took a chance by following a man named Fetty to a different state that she did not know but felt she could trust because Julio trusted him... Things with them start off slow... But the connection that they have is like a magnet that neither one can overlook... Infinity finally let's her guard down and allows Fetty in... Yet things keep coming up that keep making her second guess her decision... And now with this happening... I am not sure she will be able to overcome this... Is it really what it looks like or is she reading to much into it...
Fetty is just that man... He had given his heart to only two women and each time he was hurt... Because of this he just wanted to be single... Yet in doing a favor for Julio things change for him... I mean he tried not to cross that line with Infinity... But it was just ment to be... Or was it... There are just some things that he does that make me look at him some type of way... but now we have to see if he is really who he portrays himself to be or is it all just a front... Because right now I don't know how I feel about him...
As for Seven and Alexis everything is going great... But once Seven finds something in her drawer that she forgot all about he loses it... because of that but now she had to come clean about some things that she kept from him about her past... Seven is super quick to just walk away and move onto the next... But wait this incident should not change things... He knew he was feeling his best friend Tamara a long time ago but was acting like he could not cross that line... But the moment he is mad at Alexis he moves on to her and let's it be known that he has always wanted her... Boy bye... So as for Seven I felt bad for him for a quick minute... Like a really quick minute until he did this... Now he is stringing both woman along... And I have a feeling about what is going to happen next and that is really sad... I feel for Alexis... Because after everything she is going to end up the way she was trying to avoid... As for Tamara... I don't feel bad for her at all because she knew the deal and still put herself into the equation... So if she gets hurt that is all on her... In actuality I want to see Seven do her wrong so she can see that Karma is a beast...
With Janai and Emir... This is a back and forth situation... I really would like to see them together... I mean I know that Emir really did her wrong and he deserved for her to leave him... But I think he really learned his lesson... But now she has a little situation of her own... Just when she decides that she might just give Emir a chance... This happens... I really hope they can work though this... But as you know men can dish it but can never take it... So I guess we will see how this will play out...
Now just to wait to see what part 2 will bring out with everyone...

I guess in certain situations southern thugs do it better but in this case I'm not too sure. Infinitie experienced one setback after the other and I was glad she wanted a fresh start. I felt bad for Alexis because she put her all into Seven and bad judgment on her part left her heartbroken. Once she realized how serious Seven was she should've taken the opportunity to let him know why things weren't happening how they expected. Seven was just like the typical male. He could dish certain things out but couldn't handle Alexis not being completely honest. Then the situation with Tamara didn't make things better. Janai seemed to be standing behind not getting caught up in Emir again and things quickly changed. Yante needed to find something better to do with his time and find someone that actually wanted to be bothered with his clinginess. Fetty seems like a good dude and I feel as those there's more to why Miranda showed up again. I like what he's building with Infinitie and hopefully they'll be able to withstand any and everything thrown their way. That ending left me like wtf but I hope there's a logically explanation for everything before Infinitie acts a whole fool.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Alexis is my favorite character in this book I hope she gets over Seven he’s a piece of work!!! He’s so typical by thinking she’s been lying when actually he’s the liar. He & Tamar are in love with each other and that’s great because Alexis deserves so much better than him😡😡😡. My heart goes out to her she doesn’t owe him any explanation about something that happened before him. It took a lot for her to tell him about that and had the nerve to say she was damaged goods!!!! So he took that opportunity to have sex with Tamara and began a relationship with her while not being man enough to tell Alexis he’s not in love with her so she can start the healing process. Yante is a lame 😒 he’s not being truthful with Janai this pregnancy was not an accident. Looking forward to part 2.

Terrible Ending...ugh

So I rated this book 4 stars due to the terrible ending. Nothing about Alexis being naked on Fetty’s couch moved me to think that they were up to something behind Infinties back. I was more disappointed to read that and then get hit with the “To be continued...”
All of the characters had their own drama going on. Now I didn’t appreciate the way that Seven played Alexis. It’s always funny how the rules of engagement work between men and women. A man can go out and cheat and the expectation is for the woman to forgive, but baby don’t let the woman mess up. It’s a done deal.
I’m not feeling Fetty trying to go back to the NY to holla at the Jamaicans. It just seems like a whole setup.
Janai got a WHOLE situation going on with this pregnancy. I can’t wait to find out how the co parenting goes.

Southern Thugs Breaking Hearts♥️

These guys are some heart breakers. Seven is really playing with Fire 🔥. Tamara seems like a sweet girl and crossing the line with her while he’s unsure about Alexis is dumb. Alexis also seems like a sweet girl. She’s been through so much. I want her to find someone to that will be totally devoted to her! Fetty seems to be a stand up guy. Infinitie has endured so much loss. He seems perfect for her but I can’t wait to see what’s really going on with Alexis. Janai went through a lot with Emir. She’s trying to stay strong and get over him but Yante and a baby complicates things. Will he be fade to the back? Will E accept her and her child? I can’t wait to read more about this crew!

Drama, Drama, Drama

I love Infinitie and Fetty and I pray he didn't do nothing shady.. I can't see it but that ending I just don't understand it. Alexia, I liked her she was mad cool and I understand what she did and why she didn't tell seven about the abortions. She should have spoke up sooner now I don't know if she can redeem herself from this ending I know she is hurt and their is a possible solution for it. I loved Seven in the beginning but he did her Shady and right now I'm good on him. I think that Emir will step up and give Janai the sign she been looking for to prove he loves her with this whole situation. Yanti is a Lame that is all 😂😂

So good

I know they say not to judge a book by its cover but whenever I saw this one, I was like, this is going to be good! The drama was much, I can’t stand it (sarcasm). Seriously, this book was very fast paced and the twists and turns were unexpected but so good. I feel bad for Janai, she seems like a good person. Not sure if Emir really changed though. Seven and Tamara, I like them together. I wonder how Alexis will feel though whenever she finds out... but the shocker at the end, I think Alexis will have more than enough to worry about. Poor Infinitie, I hope the ending isn’t what I think it is. Can’t wait for part II! 😝

Holding my 5 star for Pt 2

I rate a 3 because I wasnt feeling Seven and Tamara towards the end. I hope my girl Alexa bounce back with a new man even though I like her and Seven together he really lost me and I'm not feeling that trifling stuff he doing with o girl Tamara, he just used Alexa confession as a reason to let his inner ho* screw around with Tamara. Alexa didn't deserve that, but o well I hope he get to see her in her moving on phase. As for Fetty i think he a stand up guy i like him and Infinity together. As for Janai she in the right space to choose who she wants. If i based it off fu** boy Seven i wouldn't highly recommend.

Wow!

I’m going to start with Alexis and pray that the ending isn’t what it appears. Can’t wait to read book two to find out. Infinite and Fetty was great together and I hope that things turn out for them. Janai took Emir through a whole year without being with him and just when she thinks that things could get back on track, she finds out that she’s pregnant. I wonder how that will play out. Now Seven is a different story and I can’t wait to see how things turn out for his dogfish behind.

Wow

This book has so much drama going on. Fetty better not be on no bull with Alexis. Seven is full of it to me but that line could easily be crossed when you call your good friend being a female that you think is fine. I feel for Alexis and I bet she is going to end up pregnant but I would move on from Seven because he wants his cake and eat it too. Tamara is going to end up pregnant and heart broken. Janai has a lot going on. I think she needs to try and make it work with Emir and let Yante know that they will only be co parenting.I can't wait to read the next book.

Please say it aint so

Please tell me it didn't go down like that!!!! I'm almost positive Fetty won't do something like that... I gotta a feeling Alexis is gonna pop up pregnant now that she's not expecting it and so is Tamara 😱. Now that will be some mess!! I applaud Janai for standing her ground and knowing her worth. Seems women mature faster than men. Men think humping everything moving is the way to go. Never knowing they lost a good one till it's gone!

Such A Good Read!

I love me some fetty, he seems to be the only good guy out of the click. Seven is so stupid, I understand to be mad a little bit, but to sleep with your bff and treat the woman you so called love is crazy to me. But if Alexis is a thot, I don't feel sorry for her at all. Overall good read, ready for part 2.

Hurry up part 2

Infinite has had a rough life and keeps losing the ones she love. Julio was like a father to her and losing him hurt a lot. Fetty was a friend of Julios but is he really a friend or a snake. Alexus befriended infinite but has she been creeping with Fetty all this time. Hurry up part 2.

Great story!

I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. It flowed smoothly and you are able to follow the storyline with ease. The characters were easy to remember. This story contained the right amount drama and street to keep you reading. I can't wait to read what happens next for everyone.
Natisha's writing skills definitely get better and better with each story.

Wow. Drama, drama, and more drama

This one had plenty of drama between the couple's. I think Seven just really wanted to get with Tamara and with finding those pills that have him his chance without having to cheat on Alexis. Waiting to see how Ferry gone handle the Jamaicans. Good read, moving to part 2.

Wait whaaaaaaaat!!!!!

There has got to be far explanation for that cliffhanger lol! I know ain't no foul mess like that going on. As four Seven I didn't like how he went about his anger. Which leads me to believe he wanted to do what he did all along anyway!
