Alecia Jackson, Owner and CEO of Jackson Law. She’s a boss in every sense of the word! She makes her own moves, calls her own shots, and she doesn’t answer to any man! Alecia is the only girl in her family, and she has three brothers. These aren’t just your everyday brothers either. These young men are 305 made and Straight Outta Dade County. She has brothers who will move mountains for her at the drop of the dime, so whatever dude she decides to settle down with has to bring it and keep the same big energy as her protective brothers. Alecia is just a few months shy of 40 years old, and she’s never experienced real love with a man. She doesn’t have any children because, for so many years, work has been her baby. Many men have tried, but with no success.
We all remember Montana King. Dade county raised and easily the finest brotha for a woman to lay eyes on. You either love him, or you envy him. Montana is running things in Miami with one of the biggest drug enterprises to ever operate in the city. With as much money, power, and respect that he has, he’s ready to retire from the drug game because he’s invested so many years into this line of business, and he’s finally ready to live a normal life. That can be good news for Alecia because she’s made it clear that she doesn’t want to date the person responsible for the big drug problem that’s flooding the streets of Miami.
Alecia and Montana are two different people, living in two entirely different worlds. That’s not always a bad thing, though. They can complement each other in so many ways. Alecia has had a few “situationships” over the years that haven’t gone any further than sex, so hopefully, she gets her shot at true love because everyone deserves to be loved.
Let’s take a ride with this Miami crew and see how they get down Straight Outta Dade County!
I read the series before and the series after this one so it’s only right that I read this one to fill in the gaps! When I tell y’all I love me some Alecia and Montana , it’s an understatement! These two are everything! Alecia was trying her hardest to resist Montana but that BDE was activated like a mf!
I’m loving the updates on Taliban, Tremaine and Teddy! The wedding was everything and I loved how they included Taahid! That still ain’t sitting right with my spirit!
Wayne is a snake and he needs to be handled!
I didn’t like Orion in Who do you Luv and I don’t like him here! I’m glad Kelsey left his aśś!! That cliffhanger was unexpected…. I’m ready to see how things play out!
Well shiii there was a lot of action in this one, but at the same time it was a slow burn. There is a lot of build up, so be mindful of that. Let me start off with the people I'm sick of lol....Wayne's snake azz, please go get in the gym, a weight watcher's program, or get lipo because the jealousy is getting worser and I'm sick of it. It was like Demitri all over again. Nadia, it's okay boo boo you are not that gwirl please move around, you and yo heaux azz sister. Orion your disrespect is loud and wrong, I get it you in yo feelings but stop being a bi#$h at this point. Willow...tf bye, why were you mentioned, non factor.
What I was here for: Montana's BDE was activated and I love how he finally bossed up on Alecia, I bout fell out after he said "we in a relationship now." Okay sir, let her know that she is all yours. He showed out that first night and put her in a trance. I appreciated that he said I'm giving up every heaux for you, come on ENERGY. Taliban is still that mf for me. His appeal just grows for me, he got this nonchalant swag that I just can't get enough of. He always shows up for his family and he just takes care of Sage in every way and he still my fave right now. Teddy finally got his act together and he was owning up to his mess and I appreciated his growth. he keep saying he wants to get help, I hope he actually acts on that. Tremaine smh, boy quit stressing out the family. He young and dumb though.
In general, I don't really like all of these point of views and this book was pushing it lol. However, I'm locked in and really gotta see where things go with Montana and Alecia oh and I almost forgot sore loser azz Damian. I can't stand a ninja that just can't take a loss on the chin. Headed to the next book.
For this to be 293 pages it was a lot only because this is a spin-off of a prior book and I wasn't entirely sure of some characters' connections. Alecia is a defense lawyer, and her family is dysfunctional. Alecia gives Montana a chance at last. Alecia encounters Montana King, Miami's largest drug trafficking group, and falls in love. The couples experience ups and downs and then literally at the end bs starts. Her older brother Orion is so mean and rude to everyone due to being confined to a wheelchair but if I was his wife I would have threw him out that chair like Helen did Charles in Diary of a Mad Black women.
Montana. Montana. Montana. I’m here for him and Alecia. She’s strong, independent, outspoken, a real boss chick who loves to say she doesn’t need a man. That’s until she met Montana. He gives BDE from the start and I love it! I can’t wait to see how things go between them. We all know things start off good but then wild things start to happen.
The snakes are in full effect and I’m anxious to see what they do to try and prevent Tana and Alecia from having their happily ever after.
I loved that this book still let us into the lives of the Williams family. So happy for them to have their mom around and I love how they keep Tahiid’s memory alive. Every time they mention him, I tear up a little bit 😢
The cliffhanger has me running to hurry up and start the next book!
Montana BDE King. Alecia was fighting all she wanted but she knew she was going to give into Montana eventually. It was nice seeing Alecia fight her attraction until she couldn’t no more.
MONTANNNAAA THE MAC! Alecia I was so ready for them!!
Yeaaaa this started right where I needed it to be Diamond got me stuck right now . I love this spin off and the fact everybody still in I got to catch up with my girl Sage & my guy Tailban love them down!!!!! The wedding whew! & Tremaine & Teddy glad it’s diving a lil deeper with the Williams boys!
But Montana the king man. I’m so ready to see where him and Alecia going to end up persistent and I was so happy when she gave him cause I know them two gone shake some up !
Book 2 ! Straight outta Dade county don’t play with them !
It was the good one from beginning to end can't wait for part two just cuz he have a tattoo that'll make you shot her brother. My brother was always angry and I'll believe Montana so I'll see what part 2 look like.
Loved it. Montana and Alecia were to strong parents. The story moved at a moderate pace. I thought with multiple concurrent storylines that it would get confusing, but it was entertaining. I can’t wait for part 2.
I really enjoyed the start of the spinoff. I love Alecia and Montana. She played hard to get, but he kept chasing her until he caught her. I hope they straighten out the drama with Alecia’s brother. I’m not the biggest fan of Orion. I hope he gets it together before he loses his family. Sage and Taliban will forever be couple goals.
So, I've been holding off on reading this until all three parts were out. Let me first say I'm not at all impressed. This book dragged on until 80% for no reasonable explanation. Am I really expected to read another book full of unimportant details that could've been skipped? There's nothing worse than reading a three book series that couldve been rolled up into one or two with adequate editing. 😕
(Disclaimer: I have not read dem boyz from da bottom) The main reason I didn’t give this book a higher rating was because it was waaaayyy too many POVs & storylines & at times it was kinda hard to remember who’s who. Alecia is definitely being added to my fav FMC list simply because she’s a bad 🐝 & knows it. She wasn’t afraid to call Montana out on his stuff & let him know she had him down bad & lowkey desperate for her. However though I think Montana is the type of dude that Alecia needs. A rough neck, real dude that don’t mind jacking her up & putting her in her place. That conversation they had about her submitting to a real man was spot on. The fact that it took them dang near the entire book to get together fr lowkey blew me but I guess it was worth it. I just hope this revelation doesn’t ruin them especially since I already knew Wayne wasn’t no good. I hope Orion gets his stuff together before he ruins his family. I understand where he’s coming from but dude your WIFE is showing you the type of person she is & you’re steady pushing her away due to your insecurities. Honestly I feel like this situation with Tremaine & Maniyah is either going to make or break them because I get the feeling that Tremaine wanted Maniyah to choose differently but also agreed that they’re too young. Finally imma need somebody to tap Willow because I can already see that she’s going to cause trouble for my boy pee-wee. Oh & Nadia is going to be a problem too simply because she’s delusional & I hope when she step outta like Alecia leave her professional self behind & whoop her tail cause I see it coming.
First of all, I literally drank this book! Montana is BAEEE, it isn't even just what he says but it's what he do. The way he kept going after Alecia but not in a red flaggish type of way She told him to get rid of ole girl and what did he do, she was gone The man was consistent and consistency is always attractive ---- Alecia is BADD and she knows it and I love that she comes across as knowing her worth and full potential especially when it's so common for women to not and the ride or die-ness she has for her family is everything and then some ---- Orion needs to get himself together and needs to do it quick. We're beefing right now. First you shot at Pee-Wee and then you ended it off holding a gun to Montana's head without having facts! --- Kelsey is the epitome of strength, I feel so bad for her but you have to love her loyalty and how self-less and genuine she is -- Love Sage and Taliban! Also, love Teddy and Celine! -- Damian needs to accept that fact that he just was not it and move on, tired of him ----- Would most definitely love to pop Willow a few times, she works my nerves! ---- I can't stand Wayne for nothing! Idc who tags him first, preferably Teddy cause it would make it that much better, it can honestly be anybody though. You're moving funny and done put Montana is fcked up predicaments ole jealous @$$ and then Alecia and Montana just got started! The ending made me sick! I loved that Montana didn't back down though, as he shouldn't!
Part 2 needs to come on
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I love this spin off so much I'm praying book 2 is coming asap. I love everything about Montana and hope him and Alecia will stick together though all the chaos coming their way. I hope Alecia has hidden cameras at Grandma Justice house because Willow on some white college girl sh**. I hope Nadia and Damien don't get successful in whatever plans they have against Montana and Alecia and let Damien and Nadia get together so they can leave them alone. Dem Boyz had drama, but I feel like this is about to be to much drama coming...let the bonds be strong that it can't break because Taliban/Sage and Teddy/Celine is relationship goals I love to continuously read about. Bravo on this book!
Wayne caused trouble five years ago putting Orion in that wheelchair. He thinks he's going get rid of Teddy because he wants to be number one, and he wants to get rid of Montana so can run the drug organization. Messy a$$ bitter Damien don't know how to let it go. Willow is a trifling young lying stealing heffa. Telling her friends Pee-Wee kissed. Then having the nerve to bite the hands that feeds hee. Orion needs therapy because Kelsey ain't coming back until then.Teddy and Celine got get it together. Terrence better take care his girl. Nadia ain't letting Montana go that easy. Didn't nobody ask what Alecia wanted? Damien soft mfer the best man won. Alecia didn't pick you.
Alecia is a hard working boss! She takes no time off for herself. She’s hard on Montana due to his lifestyle, but the oddest thing she’s familiar with that lifestyle because her dad and brothers in the lifestyle.
After so much back and forth Alecia and Montana for it together, but the end was like whooo. Montana is bae 🥰.
Too many snakes slithering around (Wayne, Willow, Damien) just to name a few.
Willow young behind is dangerous and she’s playing a dangerous game and could land this man in jail with her lies!
Damien a sore loser and Wayne cannot wait for him to meet hades!
Tremaine needs to get himself together and focus on the end goal.
Teddy and Celine still crazy and Teddy still ain’t start seeing a therapist! They both wild!
This spin off is starting out pretty good. Definitely had my attention. Alecia has finally let her guard down and decided to give Montana a chance. Just as things seem to be going smooth for these two a revelation has been made about Montana's organization that wil have Alecia questioning Montana. Will triggers be pulled by Orion and Montana or will these men be able to put the aggression aside and discuss who is really responsible for Orion's injury. I loved the in between chapters for Tremaine and the cameos of the crew from Dem BoyzFrom Da Bottom. Can't wait to read what happens next.
She play entirely to much for me. Damien just needs to let go and move around. With his entitled behind. I don’t know what he thinks is going to happen but it ain’t what he thinks smh! Montana is that man I don’t know what he thought! She gonna have his back! And if miss hot in the pants Willow don’t go sit her hot in the pants behind down somewhere and have several ! And I do mean several seats! That man! And I do mean man and thinking, thought of or about, nor wants her behind! And has told her that! Let us pray! Sensational
Lawd I need part 2. Listen this book had me captured from the beginning. I won’t give any spoilers but baby there is so much drama going on and I’m hear for it. It’s always that 1 character tho and it’s definitely Willow for me. I dunno she got me intrigued. I hate that Montana going through this, but I Have my fingers crossed that this will work out. This can go so many different ways but I’m rooting for everybody. It’s a lot of hidden gems within this read. I loved it. #PageTurner #MustRead #5StartsAintEnough
When Ms. Johnson updates a series she updates that MuthF*ucka! I’m I love with Montana! He that dude and I ain’t ashamed to be lusting after a hood god and I’m so envious of Alecia right now🥺. You know the author putting in that work when the readers are jealous of th leading man’s love interest and crying over the beauty of other characters you fell in love with throughout the series 🥰🤣🤣🤣
Man let get to part two I’m already going through withdrawals trying to see who going down next.
Ok so Orion needs to seek help because he feels like he can talk to people any kind of way he's just pure evil and negative. I know it's because he is confined to that chair but still. Montana I know wants to blow Orion's head off but like he said he would of remembered shooting him if he had did it. I'm shocked that Willow straight up lied about her and Pee Wee what I do know is lying and stealing is about to get her in a world of trouble, I hope she doesn't get Pee Wee in trouble with her lies because he straight up told her that it was all wrong. Loved it 🥰
Alecia was a defense attorney who represented clients who was some time guilty. Her life is constantly put in danger with her job and her overprotective brothers Orion, Pee wee, Dace and father who has been in prison for 25 years. Alecia meets and fall for Montana King biggest drug dealing organization in Miami. The couples go thru ups and tribulations. Orion her oldest brother is confined to a wheelchair for life he so angry and disrespectful, bitter and taking his anger out on his wife and family.
Orion. I am not sure where to start with him because I can’t imagine going from this big deal to not such of a big deal (his perspective). So I will touch him later on. Kelsey poor thang she is dealing with soooo much and Orion isn’t making it better because of his situation. Alecia is the prime example of acting like I don’t want this man was a person. Stop playing girl. Montana King, this man has all of the BDE, confidence and swagger to drive any woman crazy but he only wants one. Lawd! On to part 2.
Ohhhmyyyygoshhhhhh! EVERYTIME i read i kept slowing down because i didn’t want the story to end. I swear with each time i read your stories i get more excited for the next release. I loved the chase Montana did and him proving to Alecia that he meant what he said. I wonder what the heck is going to happen between Her brother and Montana because i know he ain’t snitching on Wayne but boy it’s going to be some drama
I knew Wayne wasn't any good! He was too quick to do too many shady things. Montana and Alecia can't break up, they just got things right! Orion needs to stop being such a hot head and hear people out sometimes. Damien is wrong for using his job to be a snitch because he can't get a woman. Tremaine and Maniya will get through everything fine thanks to his family. Can't wait to read part two!
I was not ready. I love that grown up love is being shown. Aleica was very clear on her reasons for not being with Montana, but when he laid it out for her oooohhh baby. Willow needs a two-piece, she letting insecurity get to her and it's going to end bad for her. Nadia need not listen to her little sister she will lose everything. Loved getting to see some Taliban and Sage now that's couple goals. Need part 2 will try to wait patiently.😬
When everything started to go good then this happens……. I’m so mad part two hasn’t dropped like yesterday. I’m so on the edge of my chair wanting to know what’s gonna happen next. I can’t stand Damien, Wayne and Nadia…. They are just irking my nerves for whatever reason…. Orion needs to get his ish together and Willow needs a good whoop a****. Will be stalking part two! Loved it!
Oooowwweeee…. The suspense at the end is enough to give you chills, I love all the characters. I’ve always like how you introduce future characters into current series, and you even bring previous characters from other books to present series. That’s so dope to me…. I love Alecia and Montana together it’s like the thin line between legal and illegal. But they have so much to offer each other, and can relate so well.
That ending though!! Really Ms. Diamond!! It was so great to catch up with Taliban and all his brothers!! I loved their story!!
Alecia played hard to get but finally let Tana rock her world. I really want them to be together. They just fix perfectly!!! Orion is working my last nerve!! I love PeeWee but that lil girl got me scared 😱 for him!!
Great job. It’s fast paced, LOTS going on and keeps you involved!!! Can’t wait to read the next one.
I enjoyed straight outta Dade county. I enjoyed every character in this book. I am ready to start reading part 2. I would like to know what would become of Alicia Andy Montana. Will the truth come out on who shot Orion. Will Damian get what he need and send Montana to jail. Will Nadia be ok with Montana and Alicia being together. Will Orion and his wife Celine get a divorce or will he get the help he need so that he can save his family.
