CRE: Cash Rules Everything
All it takes is one thing in your childhood to traumatized you for life, but in Cre’s case, it was two. The death of his parents and the feeling of abandonment of his best friend, Josephine. Cre Carter has always been his own man, knowing what he wanted out the gate. After his parents leave, he and his siblings a legacy, and Cre is determined to have their name live on forever. Cre Carter is dangerous, angry, and a force to be reckoned with. The city of New York has never seen anything like it. Cre gets money, and if he doesn’t eat, nobody eats. Growing up knit tight with his siblings Cre know family values, and he’s willing to do anything to protect them. Even the parents who are no longer around ten years later, he is out to avenge their death. When Josephine Westbrook reappears in his life, she doesn’t know it, but she opens a can of worms that may pertain to his parent's death. Cre doesn’t care who has to pay, he’s willing to shed blood and make the streets feel his pain. But when his pain is projected onto Jo, he must make a choice, take the high road or low. Cre is unsure if he can be a bigger man; deep down inside, he is a child scorned, a child with a vendetta, and someone must pay. But the lingering question remains, is Cre willing to cede control, and move on with Jo, or is his payback more important.

This was my first book by this author and it was a great read. This book is about a man who lost his parents and first love when he was younger. His first love resurfaces and they pick up where they left off but her Dad does everything in his power to separate them. The plot will hook you from start to finish. It is a great length, the characters have great personality and are hilarious, and you become invested in the vibes of the book. The first love vibe, the true love vibe, and the close knit family vibe. But in the end, we gotta see where the loyalty lies? Is she gonna ride with her true love or her daddy? I would definitely recommend this book AND I will definitely read more from this author

Cre Carter.
I dont normally give books 5 stars but this one DE-served!
I am excited to see where this series goes but lets break these characters down.
Cre- this child has been suffering since 16 for
things out of his control & the one person he loved was taken away from her because her weakass daddy couldn't stand to see her with a boy of a family he set up! i hope my boy gets all that he deserves...
Josie- whew girl, you gotta let yo daddy devils handle him
because if you dont he's going to get you killed as a consequence of his impulsive actions.
Lowe- that nigga. period. from beginning to end he dont play bout them kids or the carter name period. a real one.
Aliyah- mm she lowkey getting on my nerves bc i understand you being overprotective of your brothers as the baby & the only girl.. but sis you tryna fuc* the bestfriend of ya brother.... pump ya brakes sis.
JOSEPH MF WESTBROOK-
idk what it is about you that got you so up the Kamara's ass to be their guinea pig but you're so deep in shit with them that you dont realize that the carters wasnt even your enemy. you let kamara cartel use you & you didnt use that shit to your advantage. the truce spared your life from the carters.. not kamara & if you keep moving as sloppy as you are they will behind your demise!
THEN you doing all of this for what? Val? YOU WAS CHEATING ON HER! whew chile, you deserve the death thats coming to you.. & i hope its by the hands of Josie.

WOW THAT ENDING…. The Carter family can’t catch a break.
Josephine is so naïve for her to desire was as a lawyer I'm going to need her to be fast on her feet when it comes to circumstances, but her possessive father placed her in the center of a war she had no idea about. The storyline of this book is keeping me interested. I'm curious as to WHY ? WHO? WHAT? WHEN? Although the plot and flow are smooth, errors do sometimes catch you off guard which is why I gave this a 4 ⭐️.

NOOOO😳
It's about to go down. OMG. My first read by this author and this story had my attention from the beginning. An adult war has now trickled down to the children and it doesn't seem to be letting up. The moto in this story is an eye for an eye. The Carter's are all about family and being each other's keeper and Cre is on a mission to avenge his parents. I feel for Josephine being put in a situation where she has to choose but I also feel for Cre because after that ending no one will be able to stop him. My heart definitely broke for him and his siblings. Anxious for how things will play out in part 2.

Oh my goodness!
My heart is still in my chest from that ending. I don’t know what to think but babe this war is deadly and I feel so sorry for Josephine because she is truly stuck between a rock and a hard place... The Carter’s can’t catch a break and after all they have been through their family is continuously rocked by tragedy... I am definitely curious to see how this plays out in part two... This is my first time reading this author and I’m definitely a fan now and I can’t wait to read more

4.5 because of all the typos and refering to the characters as different names like Jo, then JoJo and Josie. I was confused at times but apart from that??? This was 🔥🔥🔥The steamy scenes between Josephine and Cre were perfect.🥵🥵 Their chemistry is insane. It's giving Bonnie and Clyde lol The dad doesn't love her. That's a no brainer. If he loved her then he'd let the beef die or talk it out. But I do understand the dilemma. I'm curious to see how this all plays out so onto book 2 I go 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🤣

Where is your loyalty?
Is blood really thicker than water? Would you ride out for your love or familiarity? Those are the questions I asked myself after reading this book. I enjoyed it. It would have been five stars except it needs some editing. The flow and storyline are seamless but the errors trip you up every now and then. Nonetheless, I still encourage you to read this book.

WOW
WOW! I didn’t expect that ending to be how it was. Whoever it is that is coming for the Carter Boys is not letting up and it’s sad that grown men can’t let things go. I do feel for Josie because she really is caught between her Father and Cre. But now I wonder what did Lowe do. Also when will Josie put 2 and 2 together that her Professor has ties to Cre’s parents death. I’m still shock by the ending. Great read though!

Where’s your loyalty?
So, this was the first book that I’ve read by Dak and I’m looking forward to reading more of her books. This book focused on family loyalty, deceit and love. Poor Josephine having to choose between her father and the love of her life is difficult. I can’t wait to read book two.

Girl get an Editor NOW
I really felt disrespected by reading this book. Like do you even care about your craft? The editing in this book is terrible and it definitely takes away from the story which is a great storyline and that’s why I’m so mad. I’m not even sure I want to read the other parts. There was just too many errors for me in this book.

Babbyyyy
Let me just say this book had me hooked from the first page...... I love Cre and Jo relationships and how the chemistry was still there after 10yrs of being separated. I feel so bad for the Carter family one death after another. Jo better pick a side her dad or her man which will it be?

Pay back
I can't believe these siblings losing so much. This was a great read. It is fast paced and well written. I feel sorry for Josie. Her daddy is crazy. With every body getting payback nobody is gonna be left. I can wait to see whay happens next. Dak is wrong for ending it like that. You gotta read before you miss out.

Small errors nothing that stop me from reading this great story. A possessive father who had it out for the people who he chose to defend putting his child in the middle of a war she had no clue about Joseph is scandalous to say the least and deserves every bit of karma he going to get. I pray the Carter's get at the kamaras as well. This was a captivating story which kept me entertained.

Wow
I would’ve given it 5 stars but the grammatical errors were killing me. Otherwise the storyline was great and now I’m about to start book 2. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Cre and Jo.

Nice try
Cre was a lot of things in this story, invincible was not one of them. His character was flawed and not at all likable . His love for Josephine had a backstory I wish was flushed out more. The ending...... See what I mean? Give the story a try, see what you think.

Ok Cre
Ok so good read but Lowe should have killed Joseph and been done with it. I feel like the author should have let the friend get killed instead of the brother, just my thought. Ready for part 2

This was my first time reading Dak’s work and I wasn’t disappointed. I was intrigued by the story line and what each character brought to the story and watching them grow into themselves and I grew invented in them. I couldn’t wait to read book 2.

Loved it
This was my first read by this author and I'm glad I gave it a chance. This book kept me intrigued from the first page until the last. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series to see how it ends. Great job!

What a cliffhanger
I am pleasantly pleased with this book. It had the perfect balance of steamy love making and danger to keep my interest. All I can say is that Josie better get her mind right before she goes 6 feet under.

CRE
I am all in this series! I love that CRE and Jo automatically recognized that they were together when reunited. I am surprised and intrigued as we find out what happened and what’s at stake as the past sins meet the present retribution!

Now that was hot. I loved the Carter Family. Cre is the man, and he has been though so much. The love of his life came back and everything is going good.until the past starts to slowly creep back up. As more secrets to come.
