A Gangsta and His Girl
Men lie. Women lie. But where does the truth lie?
Overcoming their toxic past, Trevor “Trip” Hendrix and Audrey Beaumont are ready to start their new life together as husband and wife. With life finally feeling almost perfect, the newlyweds are excited to see what their new beginnings bring. All is well in the Hendrix household until life begins to feel eerily familiar. When wounds from their past are ripped open, Trip and Audrey find themselves in uncharted territory, and the consequences cannot be anticipated.
Besides being the security enforcer for his family’s illegal empire, Brenden “Breeze” Hendrix is unapologetically unfiltered, boisterous, and famously known for being a heaux-monger. That all changes when the beautiful and intelligent entrepreneur, Icy Henderson, thoroughly serves him the energy that he deserves; Breeze is ready to sing a different tune, flipping the script on his previous stance. Can Breeze overcome his misogynistic mindset and remain faithful? Or will he cling to what he knows, which will result in him missing out on a forever kind of love?
When insecurities, trust, and loyalty are called into question, the lives of these two brothers are thrown into complete disarray. Dive into part one of Author Lakia’s, highly anticipated, African American Urban Fiction series, A Gangsta and His Girl.

What In The Entire World!
Lakia , great read. I don't even know where to start, that dang Audrey, how I wanted to chock the life out of her. It's always women like that that's full of games and tricks that have men losing their minds and doing what they think is best for the relationship. Trip may have been a dog but I see he knew Audrey wasn't right but it cost him more than he knew he would have to pay.
Breeze was the bae for real. I loved how he grew up after meeting Icy, he knew he wanted her and she didn't stand a chance once he set his sights on her. I loved how she let her guard down and went with the flow. Icy, had her own situation going on and she appreciated Breeze for allowing her to be herself in all situations. Icy loved her mom and dad. Her mom though is living a funky life right now and all hell is going to break loose.
Trip is missing and I pray they find Audrey because her high and mighty family won't be able to help her when her karma comes around. Audrey is so miserable, she had Icy fall for her B. S. Icy almost lost everything because she didn't use her head instead of her heart. Now, Icy has unknowingly has opened a can that may cost more than they ever imagined . I hope everyone comes out of this mess. I hope the guys have everything under control, and have someone that can fore worn them before it gets totally out of hand.
Waiting on part 2 cause my mouth is still hanging opened. Great job

Great Read
This book was so good from beginning to the very end. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. That dang Breeze is the man. He wasn't playing about Icy, and I love the together. One look at Icy and he was hooked and didn't let nobody disrespect his woman. I knew it was something about Audrey, a snake that's scheming and conniving. I sure hope Trip alright. Didn't see that about Vanessa, threw me for a loop.....shocker. That twist with Mike, got me wondering what's going to happen next; hopefully, they got someone on the inside or covered their tracks. After that ending, I need the next installment. Great job Lakia.

Bold, raw, and unapologetic
These characters are bold, raw, and unapologetically themselves. It's funny to see the role reversal between Trip and Breeze. Once Breeze is all in, he is locked in, making sure to protect his queen against whoever. Meanwhile, Trip reverts back to his old habits, costing him a lot in the long term. Talmbout a man scorned, Mike is butt hurt and is now using his position to get back at his ex and his current rejection. He doesn't know what danger he has put himself in. Bring on part two.

Outstanding Read
I love Breeze. He loud mouthed and rude as hell but one thing for certain is he love himself some Icy. She actually made him a better man and calmed him all the way down. He don't play about her, and even his mama can't get away with saying slick comments about her. I hope Trip alright. If Audrey done did the unthinkable she is a dead woman walking. Mike should have picked something and someone safer to play with. I love Miss Vanessa but I believe she done fked up.💘💘

Icy irritated me thru out the book. She was very aggravating. The same run around she gave Breeze she should have given to Mike and look what’s going to happen. Her lie to Breeze will possible tumble an entire organization.
Val not sure what games she’s playing, but I’m praying for her.
Audrey my word. She and Magnificent will get it SMH.
Cannot wait for all the drama to unfold. Breeze was the only highlight in the book because he keeps it real and Icy is just too spoilt.

A good read!
This was a good read! Icy and Breeze were really good together but Audrey and Tripp shouldn't have ever been together! So much is left to be discovered and sorted out. That darn Mike working at the DEA office wow! It's about to get real interesting real quick. Also what was Vanessa thinking, can't wait for the sequel! Great job Lakia!

Whoa..
What a ending and an awesome story line..so many unanswered questions. Love Icy and Breeze together. I knew something was off with Audrey poor Trip. What is going on with Miss Vanessa i completely understand her situation though but she has to be honest with her loved ones. This Mike character is adding major drama.. I can't wait to read what's next.

Whewww…
Okayyyy ready for some action. Also maybe it was just a brain fart because there weren’t many errors. But I noticed it said thrown instead of throne when mentioning the chair at the party.

Good read
The last couple chapters took an unexpected turn. Audrey needs to grow a backbone and leave Icy and Breeze out of her mess. Ain’t Icy fault she can’t get her 🥷🏽 to act right.

Mike is playing with fire and he’s gonna get burned to a crisp.
Audrey has committed the ultimate sin and for that she will pay dearly.

Awesome story! I loved every bit of the drama from this dysfunctional family. My only complaint is that I try to stay away from unfinished stories…
