What was once a sexual relationship only, soon turns into more and now the couple is trying to make it work until old feelings from the past show up causing doubt in Renee’s mind. Will Brady get tired of showing Renee he’s down for her and move on?

Not only are the guys dealing with their relationships, but they run an illegal underground gambling ring. Making more money than they imagined the guys are feeling good, but you know what they say, “more money, more problems”. When outside forces try to take the boys down, they must come up with a plan to stop it before it’s too late.

That ending!

Trevor is about to stir up some mess. I’m worried about Renee. Her response to Brady was weird and then she disappeared from her girls too. Trinity is doing good at keeping Lucas at bay but he’s going to trip hard knowing he isn’t the only one who had her before. He’s not a good mate so maybe she can find someone better. Man, Naudia gets on my nerves but I get why she’s wilding out so much. She doesn’t want to get hurt and she has bad examples all around her. I want her to get it together. Tariq could be her peace and help mate but he’s wishy washy. Can’t wait for more!

Call up the nettworks

This needs to be a daytime drama because whew! So much done came to the light my mind misses the darkness. Seems like Naudi getting her ish together and errybody else ish is crumbling. I hope Renee is okay and hasn't hurt herself. That's the first place my mind went because of Matt ole raggedy self making her relive the worst time of her life. On pins and needles about what's finna happen over at Lucas crib and I'm praying Naudi doesnt catch a charge. Tay did her thing with this one.

Woooww

I’m so excited for this series!! I’m ready to see all the drama that unfolds with these couples. I like Naudia but she needs to grow up. Idk what’s going on with Renee but I know it has something to do with Matt and I hope Brady handles him. Tariq is bae but he starting to mess up so I need him to get it together. I liked trinity so I definitely was not expecting the bomb drop at the end!! I can’t wait to see what part 2 has in store!👀👀

Well I'll Be Damned

Great start to a great series. Naudia needs to grow up if she wants Riq. Chyna needs to GO!!She stayed coming for Naudia with the smart remarks. I hope Trinity stands her ground she deserves more than Lucas is giving her. What is up with Renee and I hope Brady can help her. I think Trevor is there to cause so much trouble within the crew besides his last bombshell

Great Read

Part two needs to get here ASAP! Brady is wrong for selling pills after the guys said no! Someone better go check on Renee because apparently Matt has her and won't let her communicate with the outside world. Lucas is gonna murder Trevor and I also believe he's their snitch. He came back for a reason. Tariq and Naudia are gonna keep playing mind games until someone gets hurt. Hurry up, Tay! I need part two soon!

Good Read

Chile. That Nadia is something else. She took what her mom said and ran with it. Only she didn’t really think on the meaning. Riq needs to figure out what he wants because someone is going to get hurt. Trinity and Lucas need to get it together, but with the way things ended I don’t know how far that is going to go. Renee and Brady are cute but she is holding back because of the past. Can’t wait to see how things play out in book two.

Yess

This book was incredible. I wish I had part 2 right now. I have so many theories! I can’t wait to see if any of them are right. I think Lucas was wrong. I think Nauti and Renee needs therapy. I see a baby in the distance 😂😂😂. These are just some of my thoughts. She did that. So can’t wait for part 2

Could've been better… Okay read for a first time author or something. The plot was weak at best, the guys business was lame and basing the story behind that and a young girl who's for whatever was boring. Nothing about this made me want to read more about them, okay just not developed enough to hold my attention.

Keep your enemies close!

Wow so much is going on! Naudia and Tariq are playing a crazy game and hopefully they won't end up in some mess! Lucas and Trinity can't seem to get it together! Trevor seems like he's about to be a problem and what's up with Renee! Brady will definitely be trying to get to the bottom of this situation! So far loving it can't wait for Part 2!

Wow

I think Trevor is working undercover to shut them down and I think he going to kill naudia brother after he founds out nots really his daughter and I think that Tariq got shot. I think Renee is being held against her well by her ex boyfriend or she pregnant by her boyfriend.

OMG

I don't know what to say. Right when I was about to tell Trinity to stand her ground her skeleton falls out of the closet. I am sort of feeling sorry for Chyna, but I want Naudia to win too. Ugh!

I love how the story build up. Naudia probably isn’t my favorite character she’s a bit annoying lol but I actually want to see where her and Tariq end up. Here I thought that Lucas was the problem but that curveball at the end is something I wasn’t expecting.

A Heartless Menace

I hope Naudi gets her life together. Tariq is good for her. Lucas took Trinity for granted but I'm glad he see that he was wrong. I hope Renee is okay.
