I Keep a Hitta Beside Me: Galaxy & Dallas's Love Story
Dallas Lincoln is handsome, protective, loyal… but above all else, he’s a hitta with a short temper. In need of a getaway, Dallas lands in Jamaica with plans of just resting and relaxing. He never thought he’d lay eyes on a woman that snags his attention like no other. Once he sees her, Dallas will go to any length to make her his.
Dr. Galaxy Cooper’s plans of spending time with her boyfriend in Jamaica are interrupted when he stands her up. Galaxy decides to enjoy her vacation alone, but her beauty, poise, and feistiness draw attention from multiple directions.
Unrequited interest from Jamaica’s infamous Congo brothers causes Dallas’s natural instinct to kick in and protect the woman he has his eyes set on. Galaxy finds it impossible to resist him. Ten days of getting to know, experience, and fall for one another leaves Galaxy facing an unfamiliar feeling. Scared that she’s falling too hard, too fast, she flees. Never one to chase a woman, Dallas makes the difficult decision to let her go.
But Dallas soon learns that conflicts from Jamaica followed them home. Galaxy has been kidnapped and the wrath of Dallas Lincoln will be felt until he brings her back. His actions help Galaxy accept how she feels about him, but surprise revelations threaten to keep them apart.
Dive into this standalone of Dallas and Galaxy’s love story.

Good
Dallas and Galaxy story was good. Galaxy got on my nerves so bad. I'm just mad that Trust wasn't mentioned again.

loved it
This was a suggestion in FB group but the note said read Zero and Nova story first. Both books are so darn good now I need to play catch up with CJ and Memphis story.
I can’t wait to read Domo, Key and Journey stories. I am now a new fan of Aubry J

All the darn stars. This book was FIRE. There was a few things that were off from Nova's story to this one but it didn't take away from the story. I loved it.

Dr.Galaxy and Dallas
Dallas found love with little mama 😊 All they went through from day one in Jamaica Dallas was showing Galaxy she was his. I think she was afraid or wasn’t ready for his love in Jamaica so she ran but she stayed gone too long. Good fortune had where they ended up in the same circle and he was able to save her again and reclaim their love for one another.

Family Sticks Together!!
Galaxy planned a trip to go to Jamaica with her boyfriend Harold who stood her up. Dallas wasn't looking anybody, but when saw Galaxy he just knew that he had to make her his. She did typically vacation excursion Dallas called them white people mess like scuba diving and zip lining. The drama started at breakfast a guy disrespected her, so Dallas slapped him. Titan started popping off at the mouth asking Dallas does he know who I am or who his family is? Dallas said no and he doesn't care who family is. Galaxy ghosted Dallas. Trouble followed them all the from Jamaica. Soon as she got back, Galaxy thought she had a stomach virus. Big sis bought her a pregnancy test. Galaxy had a girl she named her Aries. They fell out because Dallas thought Galaxy played him. Dallas said they could co- parent. That's when all the snatching up began.And where all the killing happened. Dallas finally told Galaxy he loves her and she told him and put her house up for sell.

I was all over with this catalog. Started at the end, then worked my way backward. All in all, I loved getting to know all the characters and seeing their storylines develop connecting the dots along the way.
Dallas was ready to risk it all for Galaxy until shorty got scared and ran. She was a track star. It felt too much, too real, too quick for her.
It wasn't clear to me WHY the Congo Brothers set their eyes on Galaxy, tho. Was it because she was traveling alone? The fact that they were asking about Zero in Dallas at the airport was also glossed over.
That man said, " I'd kill for you," And did!
"Be the first person looking for you if you disappeared." Did that!
"Always try and make you happy" up until he found out about his daughter, he did, 😆!
Thoroughly enjoyed the laugh out loud moments and clutched, my invisible pearls when called for.
I wholeheartedly recommend the series IN ORDER, LOL for lovers or hood romance!

I wanted to like this one more
There was a lot going on in this one. I wanted to see how this story ended from the New Year’s Eve anthology with Nova and Zero’s story, so I had to read this one. It was good, but if I’m being honest, Galaxy got on my nerves! She was a little immature to have been a doctor. And why the hell would she ever go back to Jamaica - by herself after almost being kidnapped the last time she visited there?! That didn’t make any sense. Dallas was a fool and a little too reckless. Like where you just poppin’ folks off left and right in restaurants, at the store, while shopping,.. and ain’t never no police around? Huh? Lol
Anywho… yeah, a lot was going on. Not sure what was up with Nova and Aurora, but I guess I gotta read Aurora and Domo’s story to get to the bottom of that one.

This Book Was An Emotional One
My heart broke for Aurora!!!…Her final words at the end of this book, made me cry for the little girl that lives inside of her!!!…
Domo spent the whole book making jokes and eating, but to hear his words and the fact that he waited for her and took her away from the scene kept my emotions going!!!…
I truly hope that Galaxy and Dallas finally get it together because they were stressing me out for real!!!…
I wanna know happened btwn the sisters, because the pain in Aurora is deep and I hope that her and Nova are able to heal their relationship!!!…
I truly loved this book!!!…
Now I wanna know who the little girl is that took care of Galaxy after she was beaten in that house!!!…

Fire
Man Dallas was the Hitta that every women needs in her life. Man Stephanie was trash from the first time I read about her. I am so glad that she go one to the Dome. Galaxy was my girl even tho she held out of contacting my boy. I wonder what is going to happen with Dom and Aurora. They never said what happened and is Trust Doms baby. I am so glad that got rid of trio. He was like a throne in everyone's side. I wonder if their father will c9me out of retirement and start a war.

So good
Buy it! Read Zero and Nova's story first. Memphis and Nyla's story. CJ and Dove's too...(I'm about to do that now). The books are intertwined and I love that! Hopefully Aurora and Domo get a story. I would read Tank's, Krude, Journey, and all of the secondary characters well. So Dallas and Galaxy had good chemistry, hot sex scenes, great character development, story had a good pace. I wish she had made more of an effort to contact him when she was pregnant.

Good.Stuff!!
This was not only fun to read but it was just enjoyable. The writer gives us a grown up romance that not only comes off as sexy,but have some laugh out loud moments that you definitely gone want to read. The writing is as always stellar along with dialogue. The fact we get to see grown up gangs a love in action has been a big pulse. The fact I'm not giving anything away means you to pick.up.this story. Would so recommend this to a.good friend and the bookclub.

Those Lincoln siblings are a force to be reckoned with and I enjoyed this story. It moved quickly and held my interest from the beginning all the way to the end. There were some sensitive topics adjust in the story, but I think the author handled them very well. Unfortunately, trafficking is real and a major threat. I would recommend a story so far honestly, I would recommend the entire catalog of this offer.

I want more from this group of characters. I love the Lincolns, and now I am in love with these sisters. The drama in this story was crazy and I know there is more coming. Definitely worth the read. With a great storyline and a steady flow, this five star read really kept me reading and not wanting the story to end. This authors writing style is great.

Zip lining has never been so funny
I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a scene. I love the way the store was told from beginning to end. Nothing was left out. But that zip lining scene had me rolling. It's things like that that builds the foundation of a relationship. Being able to laugh and have fun. Get read!!!

Galaxy and Dallas
These two just fit in a way that was sooo crazy. I feel like them starting in a place with no strings just worked for them semi lol. Yes stuff went down in Jamaica but baby it was steamy for sure. Dallas urge to protect Galaxy came naturally. She went through some stuff but he definitely took care of her problems. I can't want to read about everyone else.

i only gave it 3 stars cus
The beginning of book started off great! The characters Dallas and Galaxy meeting and getting to know each other was the high light. Author wrote that very well but then the rest of the story took a turn.

I absolutely adore your stories! You laugh, cry, get mad. The depth of your characters is amazing. I can't wait for Domo, Aurora, Krude, and Megan's stories along with updates on Memphis, Nyla, Zero, Nova, Dallas and Galaxy. Thanks for your work.

Well well well!!!! This was intense, but worth the wait. I was not disappointed. The action from the beginning to the end. I don’t know which one of the sisters I want to be like when I grow up.

Dallas didn’t play the music when it came to Galaxy. I was ready to make the entire city bleed looking for her. She was dead wrong for not telling him about the baby, but I’m glad they were able to work past it. I hope Domo and Aurora is up next.

This story had me hooked from the moment it started. I love how the love was built between Galaxy and Dallas. I hate how she treated him, but in the end it all worked out. I enjoyed the comedy in the book as well. I can’t wait to here Domo and Aurora’s story.

I have many questions.
I love this book but it left me with so many questions. Did Curtis die? What happened to the 13 year old girl? Was she related to Dom? Did Dallas really kill Sapphire?
