Or will it all be too much to handle? Find out in this new, gritty, urban romance, All I Wanted Was A Dope Boy. *************************************************************************************************************************This Urban Fiction Romance is recommended for fans of Chenell Parker, Jade Jones, Jessica Watkins, Mz.

O.....M.....G... THE FERRARI BROTHERS MAFIA

I'm about to jump right on off the cliff with this cliffhanger. This book was all that and a bag of Doritos. From beginning to end I loved every page and part of this book. Kalief is my favorite. I'm a sucka for psychos. There's only 2 people who can put a smile on his face. Baby Navi his niece andnd Genesis. She is the light to his darkness. Even though he did it to save her life, when he hurt her and told her what they shared meant nothing, I felt it when her heart broke. Then he chloroform and kidnapped her when she wouldn't talk to him. Navy is my least favorite because he put poor lil Harper through the ringer. She catch him and he apologize and all is well in their world again. Until she finally snaps. Now she done went Stone Cold Steve Austin on a Mafia Princess and done started a war. Giovanni is the most level headed one and the oldest. He's always trying to fix what his brothers turn upside down. I like Teniel but she stubborn and hardheaded. G trying to keep her safe and she wanna live her best life, I wonder how that's working out for her. Yasauni did a magnificent job with this book and I can't wait for part two.💖💖

Good

Second time reading this story, very glad I did because I missed a lot the first time. Those brothers were such a handful, it was really good to see them fall in love for real , Teniel's mom was a piece of work. I do loved how Genesis took over Kalief's heart and he really didn't know how or what to do with it. Harper, Teniel's and Genesis formed a true bond. I pray Karma comes for Shakima and I hope in the next part the war between Radius and the guys won't be to devastating. Good Story

Great Book Yasauni

It was great from start to finish and I loved I all.
I feel bad about how Navy was doing Harper and that he couldn't be faithful costing him his girl and Navy her mom. I loved how Kalief was with Navi and that he was somewhat letting Genesis see his softer side that only came out with his niece. Teneil is hard headed but she's used to doing things on her so it's expected that she wouldn't be used to relying on anyone. It was crazy how they found out Jacobi was a Ferrari and their brother.

OHHHHH MY GOOODDDDD

WOMAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LEAVING ME HANGING IN THIS BOOK LIKE THIS!!! Got a thug mouth about to hit the carpet!!! Listen this book is great. G reminds me of myself. Ready to go to war about his family. Navy reminds me of my brother. Can't move without tryna get his wee wee wet. So far G is my favorite character. I feel for Kalief. I can't wait to read the rest of his story. Overall I love this book. On to the next part!

Head Spinner

This story has left my head spinning. From t he beginning, Teniel has been in forced into survivor mode.
G has been forced to be the problem solver at such a young age. Now things has changed drastically causing death in the aftermath.

I can't wait to see what happens next.

A must read

First time reading something by this author. A definite page turner. All 3 brothers are crazzzzy in their own way. Navy ain’t s###. I knew he wasn’t going to get right but I didn’t think it was going to be this drastic. Terry is a hot mess. Terry should be lucky she got people watching out for her. I just know part 2 is going to get even crazier.

Loved it

I am just speechless. I can't believe Jacobi and Navi is dead alongside Harper's mother. She is going to kill herself. Taniel is real hardheaded too. Giovanni is going to go on a killing spree. I need part 2 asap. Great Read.

Ooh wee! What a story!

I love the drama and suspense in this story. Jacob and Terry are some horrible people. They have messed their kids up. Hopefully Teniel, Giovanni, Kalief, Navy, and Jacobi turn out for the better.

This is my first read by this author, but not my last. Enjoyed it from beginning to end and I couldn't put it down. It was so full of drama and more drama. That ending had my head spinning and can't wait for the next installment. Good job Yasauni.

I loved this book...Harper was of the chain... those hands were definitely certifiable...Nave needs to get it together and I mean fast... but Harper has to give him space...Teniel got on my nerves an he I'm so over her...I think Shakima was just as Genesis stated - grimey

Exhilarating!

Wow. The sins of the mother always weigh down the children. I hope this child is strong enough to carry the weight. Good read thus far.
