by Treasure Malian

Have you ever been so engulfed in love that it takes over your way of thinking, your way of feeling and how you see the world? Chasity, who is engaged to be married, finds that there is a whole other side to love. One she hasn't experienced until she met him. Omere, natural born hustler, Casanova in his own right is one who prides himself in getting what he wants. After spending years waist deep in the game he has learned ways to maneuver around obstacles, regardless of which form the obstacles came in. After five years of not seeing or hearing from her, he runs into the one that got away. After making a vow that he would not let her get away again he pursues her with everything he has. Her impending wedding wasn't enough to stop him... but then there's the Feds and the snakes slithering in his backyard. Kyle is more than ready to commit himself to Chasity till death does them part. However, he has a secret looming over their relationship like a dark cloud. It could threaten everything he has spent his entire life preparing for. However, while Kyle was busy trying to keep his secret under wraps a bigger threat was awaiting. When Chasity's world collides with Omere's fireworks are set off. But when the smoke clears who's side of the battlefield will she end up standing on? If there's anyone left standing at all.

I throughly enjoyed this book. I did not expect that ending at all. Bring on part 2

[Ladii Zig · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG that ending was everything can't wait for part 2. Tristan is going DOWN and I knew all alone that Kyle was the detective for some reason. The way Omere came back from the dead was priceless, oh and I can't stand Reagan

[Pamela Johnston Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!

All that I can say is WOW! Chastity had the most selfish parents that I have ever encountered in a book. They were all about self. I wanted to reach into my kindle and just slap both of them. A forced marriage could never be a happy one. I'm so glad that Chastity decided that she wanted to be with Omere. This was a great storyline, and that ending has me wanting the next installment asap.

Lost in a Thug’s Love

This book was most definitely a great read. If I didn’t have other duties to do I would have never played this book down. It most definitely was a page turner. This is the book for you if you like drama and excitement and love and romance and backstabbers and liars and cheaters. This book would make a great soap opera. I would most definitely recommend reading this book to the readers.

Off the hook

This was close to being a dead on for "Power" and had me less and less interested in reading it. There was a few twist from the show's storyline but that did little to help feeling like it was a rip-off. The ending was just enough to move on to book two so I’m hoping the author can get it together and get some originality in the writing.

[Shelly.Shelves · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first read by this author and it was fun to read. From the drama, to the plots and jaw drops, this book didn't disappoint. The ending had me ready to cry, but I just know OG not going out like that lol..

[Shea Babe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

So much craziness going on. It’s always those close to you that are snakes and can’t be trusted. Can’t wait to read 2

[Tamika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read

I wish this would have been a standalone. I can't wait for part 2. So hope Kyle and Tristan get what they
deserves.

[Michelle Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the very beginning of this twisted love story I was drawn in. You could feel the sizzle between Chastity and Omere upon them reconnecting after so many years. It was as if they were predestined to belong to one another. The situation that Chastity found herself in with Kyle was a burden that as a parent I would never place on a child of mine. Because of their want and love of materialistic things they drove a wedge of discord between their two children causing events to unfold that would forever cripple their familial ties. Omere was a man's man in every sense of the word. His whole being was geared to make Chastity happy and to see to her well-being physically and emotionally. I loved that she had enough respect for herself to not want to start a physical relationship with Omere no matter how high the anticipation and temptation, they both wanted their love to remain pure and not start off with a taint from the past. From the introduction of Chloe her whole vibe SCREAMED snake to me. Her behavior was not surprising to me however I still felt a fair amount of empathy for her simply because of the set of unfortunate circumstances that she was placed in due to her parents selfishness. I can not wait to read pt. 2. I know that Ms. Treasure Malian will keep us completely intrigued when the next segment of this saga continues!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

[Mya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Utterly Amazing!

When I say my pen sisters make me want to finish their books in a day, I mean it. This was my first read by Treasure and it was well-written, suspenseful and unique. Even with Thug in the title, the book gave it a whole new meaning. Loved it!!

[Carolyn King · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good Book

This book was good. Glad Chastity and Omere got together. Tristan needs to get what's coming to him. Kyle the FBI agent. Didn't see that the cliffhanger was a shocker. Can't wait to read pt-.

[Wayneisha Swann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg..I was not expecting the way the book ended and I cant wait until part two comes out. Family is crazy as shit and friends aint shit either. but all in all its a juicy book and part two needs to hurry hurry up!!

[joseph · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

This was a good book, a little confusing at 're the end, where Omere supposedly is alive and well and not dead. Like how the hell is that even possible when he was by himself and had like 5 guns pointed at him, like let's be real, whatever thou I fantastic to read book 2

[Shelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Chanelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was an okay read. It was really slow and didn't pick up until the end of the book. Hopefully book 2 will be a little more fast paced and have a lot more action.

[Deborah Bates · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good

With the slow beginning of this storyline, I was surprised when it took a turn and I couldn't stop reading. What a typical cliffhanger ending.

[Snowie Moffett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mouth wide open

What the world???? I'm left speechless. Come on part two shed some light here. This book was off the chain and a defiant must read..

[Jennifer Arce · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book was like re-living the episodes of STARZ series POWER. LOVED this book and second book is even juicier. Quick read, could not put down this book.

Lost in a Thug's Love

I kind of figured Chloe was sleeping with Kyle. Omere is a stand up guy for what his doing for Ralphy. Tristan why? Kait needs to get her tubes tied.

[Carrie Rembert · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a mouth dropper! I'm yelling and on edge. What heck is going on. Loving me sum Omere! Book 2 here I come
