Rate this book
College is a time for you to explore, make mistakes, and decide your path to adulthood. It’s also a chance for puppy love to mature.

Trellini is struggling through some hard times. Recently orphaned, she sees that life keeps rolling even through grief. After taking a tutoring position she comes face to face with the object of her desires. How will she make it through these lessons without revealing her feelings? Especially, when she has a choice to make that could change the game and offer her financial freedom.

Bane is the guy you want to be around as his name holds weight in and out of school. He a young rich man that has some heavy shoes to fill. School is secondary to the product he pushes. He never thought he’d need a tutor but he’s glad Trellini’s beauty will make the lessons tolerable. A bond is quickly built but as always things are never as they seem. How does he juggle his new obsession while holding court in the streets.

Both students have a world to experience while beginning to decide their fate. It all comes to a boiling point as they try to make it through Hard Knock U.

Nadine Frye was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. Coming from the inner-city never stopped her ability to dream big. Being raised in a large family, they used their creative minds to have fun making plays and songs and any other things they could dare to dream. In Nadine's younger years you could see her head inside of a book more often than experiencing the outdoors.

In her teen years, a personal tragedy unleashed a world of sadness and hurt only Her notebook could understand. Songs and poems poured from her soul, and for years it was to feel the relief from her heart. She began sharing small things with her close circle of friends. It was their motivation and that of her mother and sisters that she shared her talent
with the world. That was the beginning of daring to dream.

She now resides in Washington, DC where she wears
many hats including Mother and Wife and she graciously adds the cap of author
to her line up.

Loved it

Karla was a whole mess. I knew she would have been a problem. She just wanted money and recognition. So trifling. I am so happy for Bane and Trellini. They belong together. You can feel the love that they have for one another. Now they are engaged to be married. Great Read!

This was pretty good. I finished it in one setting. There was some inconsistencies with the story and a few errors. Overall, I liked Bane and his Wonder Woman. I speak nerd language so that was a good touch to the book.

this was a great read

A tale of two college students that are completely different falling in love. No matter the challenges thrown at them they faced them head on. I loved the build up of Treillini and Bane relationship.

good read

This was a good read. I like the ending. That saying is so true about a woman scientist. Definitely do not feel sorry for Karla. Liked how Wonder Woman as bane calls her handled Karla.

EXCELLENT READ

Great storyline . Jealousy make people again one another. Bane found a true ride or die in Trellini . Karla didn’t was evil and she got a good taste of karma.
