After losing his mom at the age of 18 during his senior year of high school, Malik Jefferson took comfort in the only thing that made sense to him at the time... the streets. Malik along with his best friend and right hand man, Rico “Goo” Grady, were taken under the wings and learned everything street by the connect who happened to be dating Goo's mom. They started out as corner boys and were making smooth waves along the way. After the connects demise, Malik and Goo went from the corner to the top. After being challenged for the top position over and over, the duo answered the call of being as ruthless as they wanted to be, thus informing Chicago and the world a new Kingpin had arrived.
Eighteen year old Micah Sanders is all about her business. Not only is she a full-time student at the University of Illinois, but she also works part-time while being an unknown boss on the side. Coming from a life of privilege, Micah doesn't rebel against her upbringing, but she prefers to rely on herself to make her own way in the world. Despite having it all, she is only missing one thing, her now deceased brother. While everyone else may have forgotten about his untimely death, it stays at the forefront of Micah’s mind along with seeking revenge on whomever committed this heinous crime. Will she get the answer to the question that has been nagging her for so long?
The first encounter was at random. The second encounter was accidental. But, the third encounter and every one afterwards were by design. After crossing paths with the beautiful mystery woman, Malik had to have her. It had been a while since the last time a woman captivated and held his interest that much. However, it was something more to the lady than meets the eye. He was on a mission to claim and to make Micah his woman.
Malik and Micah are on the verge of starting something great. But, what happens when two bosses collide? Who will rule in the end? I don't know, but find out in this complete series.
This was a great series! I loved the drama in this box set, and can appreciate the fact that we can read all the series in one setting even though it may take a couple of days!! Looking for the next read from this author..
From the beginning. You can tell Tasha was shady and her and Micah friendship wasn't going to last. Micah was head strong and focused. Tasha was a partier, a hoe, and she was jealous of Micah. Micah and Malik was good at first but drama soon came knocking. From Malik past coming back to stir up, Micah finding out how shady Tasha is, Micah finding out what really happened to her brother Mark, to her finding out about her mother illness. The drama seemed to be never ending. Tasha was only loyal to money. She didn't give a damn who she had to screw or setup to get it. She started up so much mess. Goo messing with Tasha what adding on to the drama in his life. I couldn't even feel sorry for Mona. She allowed Goo continue disrespect and cheating. Mona was also a woman scorned and it got worst when she found out about Candy. She was out for revenge and thought sleeping with the enemy was going to get her, her her back for Goo hurting her. Candy should've kept it moving but I guess the heart want what the heart want. Her biggest mistake was allowing Ebony to move in. Micah knew Ebony was trouble from the moment she moved in. Ebony was young and dumb but she was also scandalous.
Can I say my favorite authors did a collaboration and it was dope. Happy Goo survived. Happy for mark and Kash. Happy everyone got they happy ending. Brandon really thought he was gonna get some money from kidnapping Rj haha. But ebony foul as hell your own cousin though. Mona was grimy asf for what she did to goo. Tasha lucky she got away to New York. But she came through for the guys to find Micah so she gets a pass in my book.
I had to give it a 5 star, it was shop deep. The twist and turns, the finding love right infront of your face. I'm proud of Goo, he was rough around the edges but Candy girl made him better. I would like to know what happened to pimps son. Did I miss something? Now Mark and Kash gotta HF have a story..
Face paced riveting page turner. I loved all the characters but the favorites was, Goo, hated Mona from the start and ,Tasha was something else. Micah was a real one. Would love to see a follow up to this book.
I absolutely loved this book. I would really love to hear more about the other couples (Mark and Kash, Candy and Goo). I’m so in love with Malik and Micah. They have an amazing love for each other. The authors did an outstanding job with this story.
This was a really good read. I enjoyed the storyline and the growth of the characters. I didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be a good series.
This series was very action packed but there were holes in the story and unanswered questions around Micah’s brother and father and what happened to her best friend? The last book left me wondering about the full story behind the attempt on Goo’s life. There was just too many unexplained issues. I felt like I didn’t have closure and there were too many loose end not tied up.
This book was very entertaining. I liked the fact that Too changed his ways at the end. I didn't like the fact that Ebony was killed. I think she along with her boyfriend should have went to jail. But I know the code of the street☺
I feel the writer weaved a very good story . I would recommend this book... It keeps the reader wanting more.
BOOK ONE: Mannnn Malik got alot of explaining to do. I really hope he didn't have anything to do with Micah's brother's death because I love them together. I wish he would have told her when she asked him , now look at the mess they bout to go through. Tasha is not a good friend to Micah. I knew she was a snake from the beginning. Now she bout to probably put her life in danger. Micah better watch Jonathan cause I don't believe he wrapped to tight. Goo got a whole love triangle going on. He trying to do right by his wife Mona and just abandoned Candy his baby mother via text. Mona is a real piece of work and Goo gonna have problems when it comes to her. BOOK TWO: All the people writing checks they know they ass can't cash. I knew it was some bull 💩up with Mona. How she gonna be mad when she don't even want Goo. Just being bitter and petty but I pray Goo get out the mess she got him in. I can't wait till somebody catch Tasha lil shisty ass. She is doing entirely to much but I got faith her time is coming to an end. I think Malik and Mecah got the dopest relationship ever. When he finally ready to make things permanent with Micah his past pops back up with the💩s. Nina must not know who she playing with. BOOK THREE: OMG this series was the bomb. I would have never guessed that Mona was so trifling. How she just gonna drop her newborn baby off like that. She deserved that bullet to the dome. I still don't like Tasha. Even tho she helped save Micah she was still part of the reason she was kidnapped. I hate that Mark smashed her. She should have gotten an ass whooping instead of some beef cake. They got Bear the best way possible....KABOOM. I love Candy she went hard in the paint to get Goo out of jail. I hope he don't take her through the things he took Mona through because she's a good one and deserves to be treated like a queen. Micah and Malik dodged a bullet with Nina cause I can tell she was gonna be on one if MJ was his. Micah finally became Mrs. Jefferson. SPIN-OFF: I knew Ebony was gonna be on some bull 💩. I don't know why she kept testing Micah about Malik but she must have been on that good shit if she that testing Goo by taking RJ. I bet her and Brandon wish they had of came up with a different plan. I hated how Candy and Goo was constantly arguing and even broke up but I knew they still loved each other and they proved it in the end. Kash and Mark are made for each other. She a female version of Goo. This was a great spinoff.❤❤
This was a great series. Tasha was too jealous of Micah. After she gave all the info on Bear, she should've got dealt with too. Mona really got what she deserved after everything she did. Goo did her wrong though but heart can't help who it wants though. Candy and Goo do make a good couple. He is hilarious. Micah and Malik were made for each other. I was really surprised about Mark though. I'm glad it wasn't what Micah thought it it wouldn't have been good. Ebony was wrong for going along with plans to betray Candy. She got what she deserved in the end because of money and a man. The ending turned out perfectly. I really enjoyed reading this series.
This series was the ish. It had me on my toes fro Start to finish. Mona was a piece of work. I’m so glad her snake ass got handled right along with bear. From the start i just knew Malik had killed mark. But when the truth was revealed i was so glad to be wrong. And shame on y’all for making me think mark had died. I had tears in my eyes. He had finally got his self together and y’all wanted to off him. Him and candy were the perfect couple. I’m glad they Got their happy ending. You two should collaborate again
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I thought I wasn't going to like Goo but he changed my mind. At first he was making me mad but he got his shit together and stepped up his game with Candy. She was also doing stupid stuff too so I didn't put all the blame on Goo. Now Malik and Micah, they did it right, Malik got his Queen and that's all he wanted. I was glad that Mark finally stood up and spoke his true feelings for Kash and now they have their happy ending. And Ebony was just stupid, got herself killed for being stupid cause what she did didn't even make sense.
Well the jury is still out ,because at some points I thought that the story just dragged in some places. I loved the fact that Malik didn't beat around the bush about want Micah. Also I was waiting on Goo to grow up and become the man Candy needed.This was a good series and had moments when you are trying to guess ,who done it .I loved the mystery of the brother and was not expecting ,to find out who Mike was . There is something for everyone,I just wished the pace was a little better.
Having this completed series in one book plus the spin-off was everything. Micah and Malik made me feel so good. It was so nice that a woman didn't let other women come between her relationship. I just loved how Malik kept Micah in the know on everything. It was definitely a refreshing change. Goo and Candy relationship was a mess. Candy and Goo both were doing too much. This is definitely a 5 star read.
I can’t believe I slept on this series like I did this was the best Malik and Micah relationship I loved how it came together for them I would love see a spin off with them this is a series I’m make sure to read again it was just that good it kept me trying to figure out what was gonna happen next before I could turn the page
I can't believe I didn't know about this series this was a very good series I hope we get a spin off candy & Goo I'm happy that everything worked out for Micah & malik
Im not a big fan of box sets yet this series was good. Patrice and Twyla as usual bring the heat all in one set. Micah and Malik were my favorite couple. Mona oh well that is what she gets. Overall good read.
