Harlem and Brooklyn: A New York Love Tale
Tragedy is something that isn’t easy to get over. It takes time and patience. Unfortunately, Brooklyn didn’t have neither time nor patience. When her tragedy happened, she was left with no one and nothing. At Twenty tears old, she was alone and homeless.
So, she thought…
Recently finding family was supposed to be the highlight of her life after darkness took over it. She had a long-lost sister that she never even knew about along with a fortune she supposedly inherited. She thought her life was going to get better after finding out the news, but little did she know, her life was about to turn even more upside down.
Not only did she have to deal with the half-sister from hell, but she had to compose herself around her handsome and hood mannered husband, Harlem. He was an ex-football player that possessed so much sex appeal that even looking at him would get you pregnant. He was a man, not a boy. He was wealthy, not rich. He was hood, not ghetto. When he stepped inside the room, women graveled, and men feared him. He was everything that a girl would want in a man. He just wasn’t Brooklyn’s to have.
After agreeing to do the unthinkable for her half sister whom she barley even knew, Brooklyn opened up her life to all kinds of trouble. Her heart got in the way and made her life so much more difficult. She had to choose between blood or love. She had to choose between life or death. She even had to choose between forgiveness or blame. Not to mention money or power.
Just when she thought her life was going to get better, it got worse. Follow Brooklyn on her journey to love, wealth and betrayal. When secrets are revealed, feelings are told and games are played, will she be able to handle it, or will she fold? Sometimes love doesn’t always win when your fighting with money.

Good read
This was a good read. It flowed very well but the ending was kinda garbage. I wouldn’t mind hearing more about Bronx and islands

Harlem😍😍
I so love me some Harlem, I so loved his storyline, I so loved this book! Heiress is BACK! I don’t even care for standalones but start to finish this book kept me locked in. I loved the strength in Brooklyn, and also how her strength, mentally, was highlighted continuously throughout the book.
I gave the book a 4 star instead of the 5 it deserved because there were just too many inconsistencies. 1 page the girl had on a jumpsuit but then he lifted her dress, one she loved her house cause it was one floor but she went downstairs to the living room. He bought his parents a house after he got rich but then said it was the room he grew up in. This happened a lot throughout the book, it’s something I’m not use to from this author but it happened too many times to go unnoticed.
All in all still loved the book, would highly recommend it and can’t wait to see what’s next for Heiress!

Good
It's true u can not help who you fall in love with. I was glad Brooklyn finally stop caring about Queen & what she wanted. Queen have never tried to befriend her at all. Sometimes you just gotta keep people at arms length even if they are family. Queen had it all except for happiness. She could have had it if she had put her reputation behind her &/thought about other people feelings. Harlem tried to love Queen but he realized it was all for other people the way she acted. She didn't care unless it was not what she wanted. He finally met Brooklyn& she cared about others even when she didn't have anything at all but love & friendship to give someone. He realized he wanted someone like that by his side. Karma is a bad thing cause when it comes back it comes back hard. It makes you go through some serious things. I'm glad that Harlem finally has family since she followed her heart & let Harlem in. Good book about love and finding yourself.

So so good!
This was a good read from one of my faves! I felt for Brooklyn throughout the book. She really was a good person, I am not surprised that Harlem fell for her. Now Queen was the devil 😂she really didn’t have a soul.. even after all the lies came out at the end, I STILL didn’t feel bad for her. Queen treated Brooklyn so bad. Each time Harlem and Brooklyn had a scene or a moment, I was rooting for them. Lol.. Harlem was everything! I like Island and Bronx also. Lots and lots of drama, lies, backstabbing, the whole nine and I loved it! ❤️

Nice very nice
This standalone is lit. Brooklyn went through hell with her momma dying and her father she never knew had died a year prior. Queen was a piece of work no wonder Harlem didn’t love her. But I’m glad Harlem fell in love with Brooklyn she deserved all the love he was giving her. Queen act like her mother not wanting to let him go and move on. Like they always say when u do wrong to other people wrong gonna follow u and that’s ur karma. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more of ur books

Great read
Harlem was something else and it shows how people will agree with some crazy things and do crazy things for money. Queen and her mother were some crazy women and it shows the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree because they were one in the same. Brooklyn was strong because she didn't have anyone, she kept surviving though. She should have left Harlem alone until he left Queen but because Harlem knew his marriage was fake he was coming on strong to Brooklyn. This was a good read and liking forward to much more from you.

Harlem
You clearly didn’t come to play around! Yassss come through with a real one. This book was definitely needed. It was Everything. I was so happy when Brooklyn finally bossed up she had me worried there for a minute. Harlem that man there ( fans ones self). I’m sorry but that momma needed to go to. I couldn’t get over the skeletons that came tumbling out. Talk about floored! Sensational

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Harlem & Brooklyn
Queen and her Mother were a piece of work. Sins of a Mother who would’ve known someone could be so miserable 😖. I guess the saying is true the Apple don’t fall far from the tree like Mother, like Daughter😡. Bronx & Island both have a story behind they’re non existent relationship that would make for a great read. Thank You Heiress for coming through and sharing your talents❤️

4 Stars
I enjoyed Harlem and Brooklyn’s story. They had a great connection and chemistry which really made the story enjoyable. The story had a good flow and was never boring. I loved that Harlem was truly a real man with his unfiltered mouth and freaky self. I love how Brooklyn had a good heart and even after being hurt she still cared about the well being some else. I hope that Bronx and Island’s story will be next. I know it’s going to be good. Good job, Heiress!

Ok
This book was ok but it does have potential to be a 5 star book. Let me say this I'm in no way just nitpicking because I always give honest reviews based on what I read. I understand this is a work of fiction some of the things in this book is just to much. If her name was left in the will she didn't need to beg her sister for anything. All she had to do is get a lawyer and go to court. If Queen really did a DNA then she would have known they were cousins and not sisters.

Man man man. Harlem with his ruggish self it the man. I loved how he told Brooklyn in from day one. Queen was selfish conniving and manipulative. I kind of felt sorry for her. So many secrets lies and hurt. I'm glad everyone got their happiness. But well written. Each book gets better and better.

I love me some Harlem and Brooklyn a real love story. Queen was so angry and miserable with herself and all because her mom told her all those lies and look what happen to her at the end. Brooklyn was so humble i loved her I’m sad she had to lose two babies but at least one survived. Harlem was so hood but he was just what Brooklyn needed. Great standalone

Review !!
Are you sure this was your first standalone. Where did you come up with the character Queen at her and mother was something else. Brooklyn was dealt a bad hand at just about everything in life . Harlem and Brooklyn love affair just happened. I liked Bronx and Island together.

This book was good from beginning to end. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. Really liked Harlem and Brooklyn together...their chemistry and connection made a interesting read. Queen and her mother was something else and then some....like Mother, like Daughter. Would love to see a spin-off with Island and Bronx. Great job Heiress

THREE STARS
The story was a decent read. I think the beginning was really good, it held my attention really well, but then in the middle and towards the end, I felt like it was rushed and my interest fell. It wasn't what I expected from reading her previous work. Overall it was a good read.

Amazing Read
Queen was extremely selfish and self centered. She didn't deserve to have Harlem or Brooklyn in her life. I loved the way Harlem fell for Brooklyn and showed her what it felt like to be loved. Bronx and Island were cute. Acting like they didn't love one another. It would be good to read about how each couple turned out later on in life. Great job, Heiress.

This was a quick good read. I enjoyed following Brooklyn and Harlem into their love story. I wish that Brooklyn was a little more mature and didn't act so innocent or naive. Harlem was a whole mess and some. I was hoping for more on the end but overall it was a great read

Hmmph!!
Now see..ion think I like the ending. I personally fill like it could have been better. However, this was a bomb ass story and I’m a sap for happily ever after endings. I loved these characters. You could have gave Brooklyn one win in this story. She got beat up every time. Queen name fit her character perfectly. Awesome job!!

Lies
Queen and her mother were just evil. All that scheming for a man. Poor Brooklyn life was ruined all because of greed. And even though Brooklyn and Harlem didn't end up married. They ended up finally happy together. I wanna read more about island and Bronx.

Harlem & Brooklyn
You can't help who you're attracted to even if you don't want to be. Harlem and Brooklyn deserved to be happy. Queen was the way she was because of her mom. I hope Island get her story next.

Undeniably good
This book was WOW!!! I felt so bad for Brooklyn. She was going through it and seemed to never catch a break. I was absolutely shocked when the truth came out and dang near broke down in tears at the end. Don't scare me like that again 😂
