I Love The Way A Thug Holds Me
Best friends Destiny Jenkins and Sammantha Adams entered college wanting to experience college life. Instead, they find themselves drawn to the Kent brothers; Sherrieff and Bizzarre. The Kent brothers didn't have a picture perfect life. Growing up in a gang ridden neighborhood in LA, was no walk in the park for the duo. They were headed down a dark path, that had them doing things they wanted left in the dark. Basketball offered them an escape from the dangerous lifestyle they were living. Now, after leaving their thuggish ways in the past, the Kent’s have everything they ever dreamed of; NBA careers, women who loved them, and a seemingly bright future.
Just when everything seemed to be going well for the couples, they are struck a blow that no one was expecting. The Kent brother’s past lives comes back to haunt them with a vengeance. Once things explode, more lies, secrets, and betrayals hit them from all sides; leaving the women wondering who they fell in love with.
Will these relationships be able to get through the drama, or will the women find out being held by a thug is too much to handle? This standalone is electrifying and will leave you wanting more!

Great Read
This standalone was so good from beginning to end. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters and I couldn't put it down. It was a great coming of age story and I love the growth and development of each character. Life dealt them some situations and they learn to go after what they wanted and forgiveness. So glad that each couple got it together and got their happy ending. Great job Can do B.

This book was something else
I was shaking my head the whole time I was reading this book. The story line was amazing. The plot and locations was itching my whole head. I just want everybody to know that Los Angeles Ain’t Compton. Compton is it own entity and Love and hip hop LA made y’all believe otherwise. I have read other books and I’m like yea... I may just need to contact the author at this point!

If I had to use one word to describe this book I would say Different. I loved how it wasn’t just another book about the streets. I also loved how it showed to find someone who loves you for you without trying to change.

The Way A Thug Holds Me
Bizzarre was my least favorite. He went through alot but he did a whole 360. I believe him and Sam had to separate in order to grow. Sherrieff and Destiny was meant to be. Great job as always

Ugh, Can’t stand Destiny!
Destiny was a big turn off for me. She was so judgmental and stubborn. I read the book until the end, hoping that I would like her. However, it never happened. Of course, I’m glad that it worked out for everyone but she took away from the book for me.

Typos
The story was okay but there was a lot of typos throughout. There was wrong words used and it made it hard to read. I sometimes will read a good book more than once but not this one.

Awesome read
Glad these couples got it together. That damn bizarre was something else. Glad Destiny was able to make it right with her pops before it was too late. It’s nothing like having regrets that $hi* hits different

Ok read
This was a ok read. This was my first read by this author and I kind of enjoyed the story line but it's was missing something. Lots of errors and bad editing. But I will continue to read some more of her work.

This Series was Everything!!
I loved everything about this book. In the beginning i could not stand Bizzare, and I had my doubts about Samm. Destiny was my favorite and I truly wish there was a part 3.

Nice
Good read some errors in the book but you were able to assume what was being said. Proofreading is a good idea
