Consequence, Courage and Conscience Waters are three siblings who grew up with money to last them a lifetime. To make sure they never forgot how much their family sacrificed to make it all possible, they spent weekends in the hood learning what it’s like to struggle.
During this time, none of them ever touched drugs and grew up knowing the value of a dollar. It made them more appreciative of everything they could afford. It doesn’t mean they didn’t understand how the streets worked, and unfortunately, the streets knew how they worked as well when certain things needed to be done.
Zakiya Summers is a woman who had a rough start in life due to her mother being on drugs. She’d watch every month how her mom would sell any and everything they had in order to get her fix, leaving Zakiya to fend for herself on a daily basis. Growing up, Zakiya swore she’d never be without the bare necessities again and used what she had to get what was needed. Sadly, her smart mouth landed her in a sticky situation with a ruthless man.
Andrina has never wanted for anything; that is until her father took the word of someone else over hers and tossed her on the street with nothing. Refusing to return home, she gets a job and moved on with her life, only to end up at the same place she once called home. After finding a new love to call her own, things don’t go as planned and she finds herself defending her relationship more than being in it.
Take a ride with this crew and watch how the trials of growing up in different areas bring some of them closer than ever.
Well it was so confusing at the beginning (I mean I didn't figure out that Conscience was a female until I read the second POV~~lol) but hey the parents had a great sense of humor because it is weird. Consequence carry the name so well that it is mind boggling. He acts exactly as how the name sounds. In any case he is alpha to the fourth power and so cray-cray he is hilarious at times and in some scenes. He is definitely boo and bae put together. Zakayia, man what a chick. She plays tough but is so sensitive yet very hood and all. She tries to play hard but truthfully is a big softy. Determination, strong, sensitive, is a few adjectives describing her. Andrina is a sweetheart and so gentile and nice. Seems to be very educated but extremely compassionate and is very, very nice. Courage well, he again carries his name perfectly and also his nickname is perfect. He is not as crazy as Consequence but you can feel it underneath his temper. Conscience is wow, hey a girl, lady, woman but man is she bi-polar or what? She definitely has issues and yet she is loyal and direct. Now everyone in this story were perfect and all and the most striking of all is that they were all loyal to the end. Lisa and Cierra got to get the meeting with karma because they need and I loved what happened to Lauren. Perfect and Classic! Now what is up with Rock? Who is he really? Man I surely hope all is well with Zakayia after this...
This was a great start to this series. I love how slick at the mouth Zakiya is. She doesn’t bow down to anyone. The expression hurt people hurt people has Consequence down to a tee. He’s let one experience determine how he treats people. I hope he can get his life together.
I expected nothing less from Tina J. Consequence can deny all he was but he's feeling Zakiya. The bond she has with Lil Con is beautiful. Lisa is fool to put up with Consequence's disrespect and still be available whenever he needs a nut. Conscience is really insecure to supposedly be a boss. What were the odds of Drina's man being Consequence's brother and the pregnant chick they help being his sister. Awesome job. 🔥🔥🔥

All I can say is wow... This book had me all the way pulled in and all in my feelings... This book had a nice build up and then this cliffhanger... I am on the edge of my seat... My heart just dropped... I have to check out part 2 because I need to know what happened... I really like Zakiya and her best friend Andrina... These two have been through so much together and have eachothers back like no other... They met at work and have been close ever since... They were very Independent women and did not want a man to take care of them.. They may not have been rich... But they did what they had to do to make sure that they did not have to depend on anyone... Then we have the Waters family with these wild kids... there is Courage (Rage) Consequence (Con) and Conscience (Cee).... Con is the wildest one of them all... He has no filter and is just mean for no reason... Everyone fears him... And he back up is his brother Rage and their sister Cee... They do not sell drugs or anything like that but they own everything from Hotels, Clubs, restaurants and everything else you could think of... They ate worth Billions... But they do not let it be known... All of them are having problems in the relationship area... Con does not trust women and he definitely down not know hot to talk to or treat a woman... Rage is in love with a woman but is trying to figure out how to be in that relationship... And Cee is spoiled and does not know how to treat her man like a man... When Con and Zakiya cross paths... It is toxic and almost deadly... Because Con is use to everyone bowing down to him... Yet Zakiya is not the one... So she went against him and his request... Then he makes her get suspended from work because she was protecting another employee... But once she saves his most precious gift... He may have to look at her a little different... Andrina is with a man that she knows nothing about... But she really likes him... He is always trying to give her money and pay for things but she will not allow it at all.. Well little does she know that her man is worth Billions... But it would still not matter to her because after the way her father did her... She does not want another man to do anything for her... Well let me say that emotions get involved with everyone... And of course these men just can't keep it real with these woman and of course being faithful is harder that it looks for them... A person can only take so much before they have to walk away... Just when I think Con is an actual human... He does this and my jaw just dropped... I am shocked... Why... He didn't even listen... OMG... Now on to part 2...
I really want the relationship between Consequence and Zarkia to happen, but there is a lot of sheisty things going on and under the table. They both really need to discuss relationship goals and even though they established somewhat what they want, it's a lot that need to be answered and secrets need to be revealed. Adrina and Courage are at a great start at establishing what they want in their relationship. Feeling happy about that, but Conscience situation seems very suspect to me. I just can't wait to see what unfolds in the next installment because I'm not feeling good at all with this debacle. Great Read! 👍
This book was good!! I love Zakiya and Drina relationship. They’re funny as hell. Drina’s father got what he deserved but that mother is dumb, can’t feel sorry for her. Lisa is the worse kind of women she needs to move on...I feel like the person trying to kidnap and come for Consequence and Lil Cons is Lauren the ex wife. Dead beat bitch!!! I bet Ciera baby isn’t Rages...What is really going on with Rock and Zakiya?!? Did Consequence really shoot Zakiya? Let’s find out in Pt 2...In glad I don’t have to wait!!!
Hmmmm okay, unsure it will be at least 1/2 more books for this story and I have mixed feelings about it. First ,let may it would be a 3.75*** but the typos....back to to the review THEY all need to grow up and act right experience growth through emotional forgiveness and stop talking to ladies like he crazy...I did like the 2 main ladies but this story is ok. I will be waiting and reading book2...
Consequence is a mess but fine....Whew It’s something about them aggressive a** dudes tho. Zakiya is not the one or the two LOL. They make a cute, crazy and wild couple. I want to choke the sh*t outta Lisa. She needs to get a grip. Courage and Andrina are so cute together. Ms. Conscience needs to chill out a lil so her and Rock can be the cute couple they’re supposed to be. I can’t wait to read part 2. Con gonna be sick once he finds out she didn’t....... Great job 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love the characters in this book! Just wish Consequence wasn't so Mean & Nasty and handled his reaction to women better. Why do these side chicks always seem to never no there place and seem to win. I wish they be be out in they place and stay or move on. Can't wait to see what's next.
I know you lyinggggggggg, and this book didn't end like this. God, I hope Consequence didn't do nothing he'll regret, but for some reason, I feel like Rock is Zakiya long lost brother or something. Man, I'm about to get into book 2 to see what's going to happen.
Never disappointed with this author. The cliffhanger are the bomb. Loving the storyline. I have to read the entire series at one time. I can’t edit any period of time for the next book. Hope About to read book 2.
This book was good. Lisa and Ciera is crazy and need to realize that people combatant to be with them. The ending is crazy. I think Rock is Za brother but Consequence should have listen before he overreacted. I'm definitely reading part 2.
This book has so many twist and turns!!!!! I hope Zakiya is okay. Consequence was wrong. I hope Lisa get what’s coming to her? Drina Parents are dumb. I like Courage for her.
Tina J this book is amazing. All characters are well written and this book held my attention held my attention from the beginning to the end. And that ending had me on the edge of the seat.
Consequence done shot Zakiya.. but he always jumps to conclusions.. he cheated on her with Lisa and didn't even give her a chance to explain why rock was at her house this is about to be a mess if she wasn't done with him after he cheated she really done now
This book was really good these brothers have no manners including us a status like it’s the first book everything that has nothing to do with drugs but they have that much power it was really great.
I was so into this book, it didn’t take long to read. I have never hated a character like I do consequence lbs. I hope to never run across anyone like him 🤦🏾♀️🤣
Ciara and Lisa are clueless smh. Loved Consequence and Zakiya, Courage and Andrina, and Rock and Conscience even with snakes lurking. On to part 2 for more foolery. First book from Tina J so far loving it.
Man I couldn’t put this book down! I don’t how any woman could be with Consequence. His attitude is beyond fucked up! Just like ask her other series, this book is simple amazing. Can’t wait to read the rest
I can honestly say I don’t know how this author slipped passed me because this is my first read by her. This read has my mouth in the floor and I’m on to part 2 to figure out what’s going on
Oh my goodness I can’t believe Consequence might have actually shot Zakiya. He has to stop acting so fast off of his emotions. I hope Za is okay. Lisa is a fatal attraction. Why can’t women let go when a man shows them he doesn’t want them.? On to part 2.
I love the names she gave them lol they are most definitely living up to them that Lisa is a hot mess but ZA is not to be played with I'm so scared dressed cause what is going to happen now
Man oh man Tina you did it again. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book. This book had me on my toes and I’m so ready to see what is going on. You never disappoint me.
What did Consequence just do?? I love Courage & Drina together, Cira is obsessed. I know Lauren is up to trying to kidnap her son back. Lisa is really crazy.
