Southern Bosses of North Carolina: Akai and Azalea

Rate this book
After serving 3 years in prison Akai Campbell doesn't want to have to go back to the streets in order to survive. His prayers are answered when his cousin Semaj lands a record deal which coincides with Akai's talent and love for making beats. He comes home to a promising career and a loyal woman by his side. He has no problem doing right by the woman that held him down when he was locked up but apparently spoiling her and being faithful aren't enough. After finding religion, Monica isn't happy about living in sin or having premarital sex. Akai isn't sure how to be patient with his girl without becoming frustrated because he refuses to be rushed into proposing. With conflict in his heart Akai meets Azalea Webb. He's drawn to her vibe and energy but how can he act on his attraction without breaking Monica's heart? Azalea knows how it feels to be cheated on, and she has no desire to be a side chick. After being a kept woman for years her focus is on getting to the bag and healing from past emotional trauma. The Universe keeps putting Akai in her path however and Azalea is soon doing things she swore she never would.

Amazing read

I enjoyed the storyline and how the women had terrible boyfriends that broke there hearts and they didn't let it break them. Great standalone.

Another hit💯

I just love Natisha books they always leave me happy and wanting more. I love how everyone can be tangled up together especially if its characters I like. I love how they uplift each other and want genuinely good things for each other. There wasn't a lot of drama and sometimes that's a good thing the book flowed smoothly and I definitely hope it's a part 2 but I think the way it ended can definitely go as a Standalone. She gave us just enough room to explore more or leave it.

Good Read

Azalea and Zahra were so similar in the things they had gone through in their past relationships. Which is why they clicked instantly and became friends so fast. I'm happy with with the decisions they made for their futures although they had some bumps along the way. Akai was a man that knew what he wanted and tried to do the right things. Semaj had to go through some things to get his life right. Good read. Wish there was a second book.

Loved it!

Really enjoyed reading this book. The story flowed effortlessly and the storyline was on point. It talked about some of the evils that entertainers feel after the make it big; sex, drugs, envy, etc. I absolutely loved the way that Azalea decided to leave the relationship with Gotti and never looked back. I would love to read more about Azalea/Akai and Zara/Semaj.

Love potential

I enjoyed how these characters interacted and they intrigued me. However, the story felt unfinished and the love I anticipated being revealed was never developed. I would like to see how these characters and their relationships developed in the future and that didn’t happen so I feel as though a sequel is out there?

Great job

Another great book by Natisha!! I was so excited that it was a standalone. From the beginning to end there was plenty of drama. Man I hated June so much lol I really didn't care for Monica at all.

Southern Bosses

Great read story flowed well. I'm glad that Akai left Monica something was up with her. Akai and Azalea were great together they just vibed real well. Dreka was annoying .I like Semaj and Zahra together .June was so jealous of her success.

I lover Akai and Azalea together. The chemistry was everything. Glad Zarah and Semaj was able to finally find themselves to make their relationship work. 4 stars for the errors. Really didn't like how the story ended but definitely a must read.

Good story

This was such a good story. I loved how Azalea and Zahara bounced back from no good men and focused on themselves and building up their careers. The addition of Akai and Semaj to their lives was perfect.

This was a great read, fast pace full of drama. The book moved at a quick pace however the drama had me hooked once I learned all the characters. I wish there was a part 2.

I’ve been enjoying the rereleases just as much as my first time reading them. I love that Azalea and Zahra held their heads high and bounced back from loser boyfriends.

Bosses for sure

I loved this romance, and how a man puts into his woman. Of course, you run into some bad apples to get to the good one.

Great story

I highly recommend this book. The story flowed from beginning to end. The characters were easy to follow and you are able to relate to their accomplishments as well as the feel when things don’t go the right way. You should definitely check this story out.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book. It was different than the norm. I liked the characters and the storyline. I loved the connection between Akai and Azalea. There were a few grammatical errors but they were not too bad.
