Resumen del Editor

True never guessed that life would be this hard. Being only 25 years old, she should have been being wild, reckless, and having fun, not fighting the hardest battle of her life, alongside a husband who no longer loved her. After their divorce, True wanted to be free and enjoy every day. Falling in love was not in the plan. She most definitely hadn't foreseen falling in love with an arrogant, womanizing hustler like Coop. Yet, she did. However, as soon as True tells him all her truth, he'll revert back to that unbearable goon that wreaked havoc on the streets of Chicago.

Coop grew up an orphan, passed from foster home to foster home. A hustler, his right-hand man, was his only family. His love was the game. His side chick was money. Then he met True. She filled gaps in his life that he didn't even know needed filling. Looking at her, being in her presence, was like the first warm, sunny day after a brutal Chicago winter. Being with her felt like being lost in the right direction. Coop had thawed out his icy heart and given it to True...just for her to break it. True was gone, unable to fix what she’d broken, but, lucky for Coop, True found a way.

Remi has been with Banks for 10 years. She remained loyal through every lie and infidelity in hopes that her patience and understanding will eventually bring her “happily ever after” with her one true love. Finally, Banks gives her what she has always wanted...a ring. However, that ring came with such a devastating blow, leaving Remi unsure how she will ever recover...until she meets True and Coop. Unbeknownst to her, these two strangers will mend her broken heart and cause her life to never, ever be the same again.

This is a heart-wrenching, yet warming, story of broken women who find love in their darkest hours from the most unexpected and hardened hearts.

Great Book!

The book was very good I just had to get use to Lacy’s voice, it was ok ....

Beautifully Written

I felt every emotion of this book. Even though there is sadness, there is lots of joy and life lessons.

I hate the title but I love the story.

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. The title through me off because I don't do a lot of hood stories. This was different for me. I love to read about black relationships. although there was some negativity, it was still relatable. I know people will disagree that this ending is unlikely to happen, but I've heard of such things happening. The story had a "feel good" ending. It closed things up neatly with maybe a few questions about some side characters. I will give this book a second listen and maybe review another one by this author. I like the narrators. The male narrator is one I've heard before and could listen to again.

When My Soul Met a Thug

This is the very best novel that I've read. I laughed and cried during the story. Great job Jessica.

!!!!TOUCHING!!!!

This book is so beautiful, touching and sad all wrapped in one. This book made me cry and it made me laugh. The ending was soooo beautiful. This is a 10/10 for me.

Love surpasses all things/time

I absolutely enjoyed this book. True was simply the best. Coop is like most people (not just men). They have baggage that often keeps them from the life/love the seek. I was so happy for Remy she was that hopeless romantic. JWatkins, weaved this story very well. I wish there was more about Coop/Remy.

I wasn't ready for all that

but I loved it! Good story, great characters, Coop and Rakim were super funny together. loved it! Enjoyed the narrators..Marry me Jakobi D!

Loved it!

I could not stop listening! A story that is relatable!!! A great story line! Awesome job by the author.

Entertaining

This book is rated R. I enjoyed how the author entwined the characters within the story. I laughed and cried listening to this story.

Lacy Laurel… nooooooo!

I so wanted to hear this book I'm going to have to read it because I just cannot listen to Lacey Laurel and I'm sure she's a really nice person but she is a horrible narrator and does Jakobi no Justice I downloaded books with him without listening to her now I'm stuck with all these audibles and wasted my credits it's a no for me OAN… LOVE THE AUTHOR
