Falling for My Side Dude

Publisher's Summary

Malaya Ipswich is stuck in a marriage that she describes as pure hell. Her husband, Trent, is nothing short of a man whore, and he shows no compassion to his wife or devotion to their marriage. 

After years of contemplating a divorce, Malaya is swept off of her feet by a young, sexy thug. Oblivious to the fact that this thug has a motive of his own, she is caught up in a deadly love triangle. She soon learns that the grass is not greener on the other side, and no one is really who they say they are.

Javon Sanders is a young goon with a deadly past that catches up with him when he is charged with multiple crimes. Being the con artist that he is known to be, he weasels himself into his lawyer’s life with no good intentions. Things take a turn for the worse when tragedy hits his family, and Javon becomes desperate. No one is safe in his world, and he ends up betraying the one person who was in his corner.

This definitely was not what I was expecting. i was expecting the lead to fall for her side piece-not his bedroom skills. She fell in love with an opportunity to use some to remove a thorn in her side. The title implies she fell in love with her side piece….
The story was riddled with inconsistencies whether it be timeline, statements the characters made about themselves or in a reference to a situation. How can a character be in the hospital and at a hotel for you to bump into them at the same time. Are you a tough, educated, calculating criminal attorney or are you a low budget, neck swiveling “hood rat”? Are you the king of the streets or are you naïve as newcomer to the game that can’t spot a setup? The timeline was pretty fluid as well as the personality of the characters. The mentality of the leads in this book was very sophomoric in such a way that you immediately could not take the description of “high powered criminal lawyer and street king” seriously. These things couple with the grammatical errors and lack of structure made for a difficult read. I’m sure the author is talented. I think I will try one of her other works. This story didn’t “gel”.

surprising

I like that there was a twist, but how did we get there? the story wasn't bad, and it wasn't great either, too many unanswered questions, but not enough for a sequel... So, why be so vague?

Not worth the read

I usually love stories like this but....this one was poorly written. The story line was awkward and uneventful. Also I the characters were horrible. Hated all of them

my opinion

the story line could of been more interesting and the voices sounded like they were being forced....

good story line but I didnt like the ending

hopefully there is a part 2. she didnt get hers yet and I hope Maryland kicks her ass

Was great, like watching a movie great voices I wa

loved the voices of the characters. it was like watching a movie I could visualize it all in my head.

Definitely not expecting this...

I love the narration. I felt she captured the characters personalities perfectly. The storyline, However had some inconsistencies. Don’t get me wrong I like a book where the main character isn’t someone that you can root for but the way this was written it seems like the characters are very 2 dimensional and not at all realistic. With all that being said I would still recommend because I can see the direction in which the author was headed with this book.

GREAT book!

I absolutely enjoyed this book! It was full of excitement and twists and unexpected runs and the narrator was amazing!!! I loved it.

love it!!!

This book was great, very detailed, had me on the edge, I couldn't stop listening, the people narrating the book did a outstanding job bring the character to life, a lot of plots and twist, that I didn't see coming, love's it!!!!!!
