Excellent Read
I liked that Tiara finally took charge of her life. Very disappointed in the mother. Tony, that man was nor my cup of tea. His cocky attitude and ways will eventually catch up with him. Looking forward to the next book.

Bad Luck or No Luck
After a long break Ms. DeVaughn is back with a vengeance. The story has picked up and while she doesn't give too much background, the way it’s told, you will be able to remember book one.
We catch up with Tiara five years later and life is great. As we know with Tiara nothing good last too long. She is with the man of her dream her love Tony. Their five year old daughter is the light of their life. They own a company and make legal money - or so she thought. When a deal gone bad surfaces Tiara’s life is knocked upside down.
With old players back in the mix the drama is sure to stay on point: Tony has taken her out of the projects as she was a true Ryder and stayed down while he did his three year bid. Shawn, Tony's best friend/business partner whom Tiara never liked, is back. Ke-ke and Karen come back and boy oh boy they give new meaning to ‘you can take the girl out the hood but you can't take the hood out the girl’. Renee is STILL up to her old tricks and never seems to grow up.
All in all I really enjoyed this follow up. At times I was screaming at Tiara as if she could hear me and I was almost brought to tears at other parts. This is definitely an emotional read and the drama is nonstop. The only drawback was the formatting; I really wasn't feeling the double space. This a quick read and if you crave drama I recommend this novel (After you read part one of course). Looking to forward to seeing what this author has in store for us readers next.

Don't Cry Just Ride* T was a ride or die chick, loyal to all those she believed in and just like any true to life story she was let down time after time. Not wanting her daughter to go through what she went through she decided to wipe her tears and ride out of the cold streets she once called home. It was time to work on her. And who could blame her. The stuff that went down in the story was to much for anyone to handle but threw it all she was still standing. God is good!
Note: In both part 1&2 I noticed that T was no stranger to God's work. Although she did things Satan was proud of, she knew who her savior was "GOD!" When she needed something greater than Hood love she got on her knees or looked to the heavens because she knew God's power could override the worst situation. Although, God didn't answer all of prayers, she was able to hear within( this kind of remind me of THE BOOK OF JOB)he allowed certain things to happen, so she could get the message "I have a greater plan for you."

Giving this 3.5 stars. It was a good read. I really felt sorry for Tiara she really had a rough life. I think "A Hood Chick's Story" was better than Part 2, but overall it was a good read. A lot of drama as with part 1.

A good sequel. If you enjoyed part one you will definitely enjoy part 2. I can't wait to read her next book.

Tiara James just can't catch a break. She is the type of female that every dude says that they want but when they get her they dont know how to treat her. This is a must read

Wowww drama seems to follow T wherever she goes but I don't blame Tony for what he did to Shawn I would have made him suffer that was going too far.

Pretty decent read
Good installment to first book, but predictable. I wanted to see different twists to book. I would have liked to read more about Tiaras friends...
