Love Me When It's Hard To

Rate this book
Losing a child is every parent’s worst nightmare, especially in the wild streets of Chicago. For Santrell Clyburn, this is a pain he knew all too well. After ten long years and no body to bury or mourn, Santrell was finally forced to move on with his life, while secretly holding on to hope. After all, his family still needed him, but the streets needed him most.

Being head of the most ruthless gangs to grace the Chi-town streets, Santrell had a point to prove. “Live by gun, die by gun” was what he was taught, and he’s never been afraid of either. With the corrupt and crooked system on his side, how could he lose right?

That “how” quickly turned into “what” he could lose as chaotic events transpired, leaving more blood in the streets than the blood banks combined. With a cold-hearted vengeance to collect the skulls of those responsible for his precious diamond’s demise, will he succeed?

With betrayal and tragedies being at an all-time high, who can he trust? Will Santrell finally realize the grass was never greener on the other side? They say forgiveness is the key to moving on but is that really true?

Find out in the pages of Love Me When It’s Hard To.

What In The Whole Entire World!

J'Diorr great freaking job! This is my first read of yours, it will not be the last! How can a person be so devious, jealous and just plain mean? The Clyburn family really is going through it all due to a jealous woman. Boy oh boy Sheha world was torn apart for many years never did she imagine her life would end up that way. Khloe also had her world snatched right from under her. Getting away from the devil she finally was beginning to trust, let her guard down and low and behold her comes some more mess to knock her off her square, and the devil returns.
Snakes are everywhere the brother's have trusted someone that they didn't realize would be the devil reincarnated. Sheha and Paige had formed such a tight bond due to their situation. God blessed Sheha and Paige but are they safe finally? Has their devil come to collect his wards. What will happen when Santrell and Hendrick find out who is responsible for this chain of events that changed so many lives? Who will live to tell the story? Great Read!!!🤗🤗🤗

Ok read

This book was a little all over the place for me but it was a good read, and had a nice storyline. Santrell was a damn cornball for sleeping with Grace friend behind her back, getting her pregnant and putting her in that place. Lord I can't stand British a$$ she wasn't a real friend she was a snake, a snake is a snake no matter how it slithers. I know Sneha and Cash gonna get together. Paige was heaven sent to Sneha. Master dirty perverted a**!

BABY, BABY, BABY!!

Where do I begin?? 1st, I’m happy Sneah and Paige are safe. 2nd I hope Grace gets out and beat the Dawg crap out of British! Oh Lort, she needs a good swift kick in the you know what!! 3rd, I don’t know who I want to get to British first, Peewee, Grace, or Trell. 4th I hope Hendrix go and allow Khloe to explain why she was with that fool. Oh, let’s not forget Hendrix’s so called baby mama🤦🏾‍♀️

Omg baby you did that and I loved it I can’t wait for the next part because I most definitely need answers though. Why did Master have to be grandfather my goodness. I feel like this was all British fault though. I’m happy that Sneha was able to get back to her family but the grandfather sick person. I can’t wait though

All I can say is WOW

From the first page to the crazy cliffhanger on the last page, I couldn't stop reading this story. That family has been through a lot. I want to know British role in all of this. I'd also like to know more about Paige too. Cash sounds like a new book bae to love. I'm excited to see what else is revealed in part 2 nn

I clutched pearls I don't have.

This book was a page turner from beginning to the end. It started off with action and continued throughout the book. I thought so many different things and was wrong and I loved it. I'm sure the drama will continue.

🥴

Good characters, but they all seemed clueless. No one seemed to catch on to what's the heck was going on. Some scenes were rush with little clarity. I will give book 2 a read to support.

Wow

All this time her grandfather played her. How could you do this to yor own kid. Now he is about to feel the pain of all the trouble he caused. I bet that child belongs to him and not her dad. See what he don't know is that she have her father to protect her now.
