This story pulled at my heart strings in the most ghetto way.... Lol! This is what some of us experienced in the hood, from the lost of a parent to money hungry family members to flat out envious friends. I can’t wait to see what’s in stored for this family soon!
I really enjoyed this read. I like the fact that the two main characters weren’t intimate. Their relationship seems more authentic. I like Deluca & Allure together. Allure’s best friend seems real suspect. I bet money she’s creeping around with Allure’s ex-boyfriend Stacks. Looking forward to book 2.
Let me tell you something, this was definitely a page turning teaser. I started reading this book after 1am just to get a feel of the storyline. 4am I was like listen this book ent going nowhere...get your a** to bed. Got up and went straight back to it..... I’m hooked! Now I’m gonna be messing in someone’s inbox! Can’t wait for what’s coming next! Loved it!
This was such a well written book that had captured my attention from the start. Allure and her siblings had endured so much. Finding love wasn't in the plans but it happened. Ezra and Saliyah and in the meanwhile DeLuca was falling for Allure. A few distractions happened along the way but in the end, the Bonetti family made Allure's family become theirs. I can't wait for the next book! This was my first read by Latisha and it definitely won't be my last.
Situations from your past can and will adjust your future. Its all in how you handle them. Allure, the oldest of 5, dealt with tragedy after tragedy but it didnt stop her from being a good person. She sacrificed so much to ensure her siblings were taken care of, when she could have went on and lived her life, only to still be lied to by her aunt, straight bamboozled. The connection with Ezra and Saliyah is one for the books, young love and teen parents, but Ezra just cant seem to get it together. Monay and her jealousy of Allure is about to get her into a world of trouble, she just doesnt know it yet. DeLuca and Allure are both scared to love because of past hurt, maybe they cam get it together for each other.
This story was AWESOME!!! I loved the authenticity the author brought to this story... I'm not doing to drop details just know you won't be disappointed...I can't wait to read about their story.
I was not ready for that ending! Who the hell tryna frame my boy? Great read. I love the whole crew from the kids to the adults. But I need them to locate that aunt with her shady a$$. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this crew!
I can’t wait for the continuation. I thought maybe Skills got ole boy but you didn’t here to much about Enzo. I definitely want to see what happens to the aunt and Monay shady butt. I can wait for Bonetti Bloodline. Love this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💙💙💙💙💙
Babyyyyyy I was NOT ready for this here! I loved the way it ended if I HAVE to be honest. Allure was everything for me and her strength was unmatched at first read, but the deeper into the boom you go the more the other characters seem to pop out and surprise you! LaTisha made a thug cry and for that this deserves all five stars!!!!!!!!! Definitely on this author from her on out! Check her out!
This story was everything I cried but I’m happy that she pulled through and the Bonetti family was there to help them along the way I can’t wait for the next book with them in it I really enjoyed reading this book though
This book was everything. I couldn’t put it down. This has to be one of my favorite Christmas books so far! This is some of your best work to date! I can’t even go off like I usually do. I can’t even believe to imagine what the actual book is going to be like. You did that
I'm soooo happy this book will be a full book next month it ws sooo good i didn't want it to end especially with DeLuca and Allure getting to know each other......her aunt needs to be dealt with and so does her fake friend Monay...i know Ezra young but he better change his ways if don't want to lose Saliyah....love Allure siblings...that ending was definitely a shocker.....😱😱❤❤❤
Latisha you never ceases to amaze me. My mouth is literally wide open. I can not believe that ending. Great intro for the Bonetti family. I love the whole family. Mama Bonetti was something else. You deliver every time you write a book. You get better and better with each book which amazes me the most.. I can't wait to see what's up with those two heffas. I'm excited about what's to come. This is most definitely a must read. I highly recommend this book..
This was another dope read from this author. As always just as you are getting wrapped up in the story here she comes throwing a monkey wrench in the game!!!! Pen game on one thousand per usual and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
This Christmas read seems to be the beginning of a good series. With likeable characters, secrets and family this was a good read. I can't wait for more.
I just know she didn’t! Know what I’m not surprised lol I loved this book from beginning to end! DeLuca grew on me and I can’t wait to find out the shady stuff Monay and that stupid aunt have going on. The way Allure rode for her sibs was the best. This was an awesome read
This was soooo good lol. It was emotional and drama filled. I can't wait to read more about them all. Allure deserves to be loved she's so sweet. Her friend Monay is a snake though, I can't wait till she figure it out. DeLueca's sister is moving funny too. I don't trust her. Waiting on the next book patently
I could not put this book down from beginning to end...Allure was the best thing her younger siblings could need her aunt need to be slapped and monay is not the type of friend she needs
This was an awesome read from beginning to end! Loved loved every minute of it! Definitely did not see that ending coming and I need more of this family right now! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Bonetti family!
I knew that damn auntie was up to no good and her best friend ain’t shit either I can’t wait until you drop the other book please tag me when you do great book
This Christmas book is lit. My young’s has been dealt a bad hand but came out on top in the end so far. But I hope Enzo get outta his pickle tryna do some good for what happened to Alure. But I know his father will do everything in his power to do it. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more of ur books and I can’t wait to read this outcome in the next book. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read
This story had me crying. Allure has gone through so much in her life from taking on the role of mother for her siblings and putting her wants to on hold to ensure her family is taken care of. Can’t wait for the follow up book.
This book was really good... Captured my attention quickly and just kept pulling me in... It moved at a nice fast steady pace... And then just kept bringing me all the drama... Definitely worth the read... I absolutely love Allure... This girl was all about her business... She was young but took on the responsibility of her 4 younger siblings after their mom died... I mean they lived with their aunt but heck she was never home... And now I see why... SMH... But Allure was out here busting her butt making sure her siblings had everything they needed that included stealing things sometimes...She was working hard to make ends meat... Although they lived in the projects, they did not let that bring them down or determine who they were... It was rough where they lived with all the shootings and things like that... But they did what they could... Then one night Allure comes home early and thing start to change... Little did they know how much of a change was coming their way... Allure had a best friend named Monay... But something is off with her... I just can't put my finger on it... I am thinking she is jealous of Allure... But why just keep fronting... Just cut ties and keep it pushin... I wonder what she has up her sleeve... Then we have the Bonnetti family... Ezra is the one that kind of brought everyone together... But DeLuca is who I absolutely love... This family may get a bad name but... They are truly an amazing family... Especially after everything they have been doing... Things may not have happened they way they would have liked but they are dealing with it... Now DeLuca was out here just sleeping around because he didn't want to be in a committed relationship... No one was worth it... Especially after what he went through in the past... But all of a sudden a beautiful young woman with a great head on her shoulders has crossed his path... And his life is about to change... I guess he can kind of thank his brother for that... I guess we shall see... Just when things are finally starting to look up for both families... Here comes the drama... Wait a minute... How did this happen... How did they come to this conclusion... What is going on... OMG... I am about to check out the next book because I have to know what is happening...
This was my first time reading something by this Author and I must say that I was impressed. This was a really great and interesting story. Allure was young with the weight of the world on her shoulder's. Losing her mother put her in a position to take care of her siblings without complaints. Her trifling low down and dirty Aunt definitely didn't do a damn thing for them. Allured was floored to find out just how scandalous her Aunt was. Something was also off with Allure best friend Monay and for some reason I think it had something to do with Stacks. Deluca was smitten with Allure. When tragedy struck. Him and his family was there for Allure and her siblings. Deluca also seem to have to run to his little brother's side every time he turned around. Ezra and Enzo seem to attract trouble. Ezra hot temper kept him in some drama. Him and Saliyah definitely were too young to be in the position they're in. I hope after what happened to Allure it scared Ezra straight. The way this ended. It seems Enzo have taken over by being the one in trouble.
