Story
They say all is fair in love and war, but how do you fight when you don't know the enemy is the one you love? Will the Hoover gang be able to reign supreme, or will they fall at the hands of the women who are supposed to have their backs? The infamous Hoover gang - Babyface, Blaze, Quick, and Shadow - have taken Chicago by storm. These four are not your average street thugs. Bank robbers by day and club owners by night, they have held on to their place at the top by never trusting anyone enough to allow them in their circle. The moment they do, all hell breaks loose.

Publisher's Summary
Named for her beauty, Belle Dubois is as sweet as can be. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she is always given the best - until her world is turned upside down. When she's away in her second year of college, she receives a call informing her that her parents have been murdered. She soon finds out that they were broke, and subsequently, so is she.
With no home and nowhere to go, Belle is whisked under the wing of a woman named Aria, better known by her stage name, Passion. Before she knows it, Belle becomes a part of an underground world that she knows nothing about - one filled with bright lights, sexy clothing, and shiny poles. The money starts to pour in, and soon Belle loses herself in the very same fantasy she gives every night.
Her heart has a void that only money can fill, but when she meets a handsome brother named Kidd Bryce, her perspective begins to change. He shows her a side to life that she didn't know existed. Just when she is about to say goodbye to the fast life for good, her past comes knocking on her door.
The night Belle's family was murdered, everyone was supposed to die...including her. In a race against the clock, she must find out who ordered the deadly hit in the first place, and why, before her own time runs out.

Horrible Narration and Storyline
The Storyline is 101 creative writing and the narration was horrible at best. Mispronounced words, running out of breath while reading the sentence, huffing and puffing, stumbling over words. Please save your credit!

Started strong! Ended poorly
I was expecting for several things to happen in the end, like did Belle get her families business? Maybe a glimpse of what Russian Roulette ventured into, where is the woman that was raising Kid?, is she alive what, where is Kids homeboy? It just left so much to be desired after such a strong story line, I didn't expect it to end like it did.

Don't be so quick to judge
"Bell " is a sorrowful type of story. This heart broken young lady is struck with a horrific tragedy. It makes you want to appreciate your mother, father, aunts, sisters, brothers, cousins, and surprisingly inlaws more. It could happen to anyone of us. I always let this lesson carry me on being independent, owning my own business, being aware of my surroundings, being judgemental to others,a nd loving Jesus Christ. It is not for the faint of heart. If you read this book with understanding please go back and tell everyone what you have learned from this young lady's story. Make no mistake, there were many times that I was indecisive on going throught with this option for my lifestyle. It was the thought of the Lord, My mother, and especially my Dad that scared the thoughts of this horrifict act of sin out of my heart and mind. In some cases we feel that our backs are up against the wall and there is no way out or no one to turn to. Please always pray to the Lord to give you a way out. I love this book and every one should read this book.

Enjoyed
This was a great book. I am glad that Belle and Kidd ended up together. That the greed that uncle Jean had caught up with him and all the wrong he had done to others came back to him when he thought that his puzzle was about to be complete.
