Publisher's summary

The explosive start to an epic urban trilogy from New York Times best-selling author JaQuavis Coleman.

Once the streets pull you in, they own you. Or at least that's the way it's been for Nautica. Growing up in the hood, all she's ever known is the fast life - fast money illicitly made through scandals and relentless scheming. But when a big scam nearly finishes her off, she decides she wants more out of life than the hustle and tries to make a new life for herself on the East Coast. It isn't long, though, before she falls in with Manny, a drug kingpin who sweeps her off her feet. He promises to marry her and make her "Queen of the Street". Then everything falls apart. As their relationship unravels, both of their dark secrets are uncovered, pitting them against each other in this exciting tale of love and deception.

DEPRESSING. What a F:@&$ Up Ending

I love anything Nicole Small reads and that's why I bought the book, Normally I like Jaquavis books but damn this shit made me miserable from beginning to end. FYI readers would keep the books forever if there is a happy ending. Why couldn't she have been honest then he gets out of the game and they have a couple of kids named Mimi and Keya. I would never listen to this a second time and for that reason I must return it. Who wants to listen to 9 hours four a messed up ending.I'm just saying happy endings are preferred

Terrible. Don't waste a credit.

This book is horrid. I wish I was a better writer so I could correctly articulate just how bad this is.

Sophomoric writing, using every cheap writing trick in such a heavy handed way they are all obvious.

I did finish the entire story, only because I despised the characters and story so much I had to make sure they all died.

Sex scenes were neither realistic or erotic, like they were written by someone that had only heard sex talked about, but never actually participated in the act.

I am amazed that people have given this author positive reviews. It Baffles me, and makes me leery of buying other books based on reviews. I can only guess it is the agent and family.

Run away.

Great Story

The book was really good. It would be nice to have multiple people read the parts. Maybe a male for the male parts and female for the female sections. It's kind of hard to imagine or put yourself in the book when the characters sound the same.

Awful!!!

This was one of the most appalling piece of literature oh, and I use the word literature very loosely, I have ever listen to! It is very obvious that the script was not copy edited! Redundancy was a major theme throughout the entire book. That is to say nothing about the grotesque sex scenes and that use of the word love button.

Started Off Good, But The Ending Was Stupid

This book was ridiculous. It started off really good but, the last six chapters just ruined the entire book. Most of the mistakes Nautica made were just stupid. Someone as hood and street as she was would NEVER bring a stranger back to her hotel room and leave a bag full of money alone with said stranger. Hood folks don’t make those kind of amateur mistakes. When Decal finally saw the tape, he said Nautica shot Zion. Ummmmm, Kia shot Zion. So, the author can’t remember what he wrote?!!! When Loon started blackmailing Nautica, she should’ve started scheming on how to get rid of his azz. Again, that’s how real folks from the street operate. If the other two books in the series are as corny as this one, I’ll pass thank you very much.

Cannot even finish it

I listened to about 5 hours of this book determined to finish it because I hate starting something and not finishing it,but I just couldn’t with this. The contact repeating of the characters name really got on my nerves. Every few words was Nautica. Nautica said...Nautica listened.Nautica breathed.. i didn’t understand why the author had to constantly tell us who was speaking. In most cases especially when it’s the main character the listener knows. I get telling us in some instances like if there is a room full of people but she said it even if Nautica was in a car by herself.

OMG ...WOW!!!!

Would you listen to The Dopeman's Wife again? Why?

Yes I would

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dopeman's Wife?

The End was really GOOD!

What didn’t you like about Nicole Small’s performance?

Her Voice went in and out which kind of through it off for me at times

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't laugh much my eye got watery at the end but through the entire book i was in shock in a very good way.

Any additional comments?

This book was really good at some part could be took much for my liking but the middle to the end kept me on the edge of my seat. I found myself letting out loud OMGEEEE and HELL YEAH...LOL Some parts might be slow but stick with it i promise you will like it if not love the book.
