Rich and Rotten

Explosive, sensual, and unapologetically raw, Rich and Rotten delivers Jahquel J.’s signature blend of passionate romance and high-stakes family drama—where love is the most dangerous game, and trust is the rarest luxury.

In Greenwich Pointe’s world of Black wealth and power, Tatiana Rich has everything money can buy—except freedom. When her kingpin father forces her into a strategic marriage with the Sterling dynasty’s heir, she begs Nazir Kane—the man she fell for during her college years—to run away with her.

By morning, he’s vanished without a word.

A decade later, Tatiana is rebuilding her life after her husband Karim’s tragic death. While raising their daughter and growing her luxury spa empire, an assassination attempt on her father brings an unexpected guardian: Nazir Kane—now a powerful security specialist assigned to protect her family.

Living under the same roof as the man who shattered her heart is torture enough. But as old flames reignite, darker truths emerge about the father who controlled her and the husband she mourned.

With enemies closing in and whispers that her husband’s death wasn’t an accident, Tatiana must decide if the man who once betrayed her is the only one who can save her now.

Bruh

Maannn… I should have known this book wasn’t going to be a one and done… so ready for stand alone books to come back.. ready to get the whole story in one book. Smh her uncle though…

O M G

This cliffhanger 🤯 I did not see this coming. When I tell you I wish the next book was available is an understatement. The building of the story keeps you on the edge and the ending is draw dropping.

Wow

I expecting the ending, That was something with that I’ll be waiting for book two!

slow start but still great

in true Jahquel fashion she is great for building characters. it is a slow start but every page is important. cant wait for what's to come.

The title suits perfectly!

Jahquel has done it again! The cliffhanger in this book wasn't anything I could have imagined! And we know, Jahquel loves a good cliffhanger. The story is paced well, and there is enough about the main characters for you to form an opinion on whether you like them or not. Tatiana Rich finds love in a hopeless place, and in her world, love comes at a cost. When life throws her for a loop with loss and her secrets rising to the surface, she has to figure out how to rise above the expectations of her menacing father, Malcolm. The narrators brought the characters to life very well. There was enough spice, enough drama to be Rich and plenty more to be Rotten!
