3.8 Deliciously Hood Stars LOL
I felt myself getting into a slump so I decided to try a little Urban to keep me from slipping further in. Let me just say that this book did that and so much more. Can we say DRAMA??? I mean at every turn and I absolutely loved it. Veah was stuck in a relationship with a man who didn't truly appreciate her. He lied cheated and disrespected her every chance he got. Catching him cheat again was the last straw for her, so she made the decision to leave-for good. A girls night out and a fender bender led to her meeting Branson aka Smoke. Smoke is freaking everything!!! He is the epitome of Hood,but he also paints and restores cars. He is trying to leave the hood life behind him to live a clean, legal drama free life. That easier said than done though! Veah and Hood spark up a connection and a relationship that leads to a mind blowing turn of events. Just WOW!!! This was a fast paced exciting journey that tuned messy QUICK-the good mess though! Veah and Smoke had obstacles in their way during this ENTIRE STORY, it was like their pasts refused to stay there. In this book we get a trifling best friend, crazy ex's on both sides and a brother who is having a hard time leaving the street life behind so you know that makes for a BOMB story line that has me hooked. While it was an exciting read, we didn't get to see the relationship between Smoke and Veah develop. Every time I thought we would get to see more from them as a couple, it was overshadowed by drama. Veah was also irritating with the back and forth, I wish she would've made a decision and actually stick with it. This is a new to me author and I am enjoying the flow of her writing, I will definitely continue to support her. This book ends with a cliffhanger and I am so excited to read the second part. This story is a page turner that you need to read.
