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”.

Narration is Trash.

This probably had the potential to be a good book however I couldn’t get past the poor narrations. From the awkward inflections and the misplaced pauses, to the overly aggressive reading manner throughout the entire story, I just couldn’t get into it. I couldn’t tell if it was a man and a woman narrating or if the woman was doing a poor impression of a man but it was terrible. And the random punching sound effects out of nowhere took me completely out!!! Lol it was out of place, comical, and very unbelievable. Although I suffered through this bad narration until the end (since I actually paid for it and wanted to give it a fighting chance), I think that’s when I just completely checked out.

Drama from start to finish!

I get bored easily with books that give titles as if its gonna be full of drama, but gives nothing or very little. This book was everything! Very well written and narration was awesome!

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?

Worth listening

Story line and title didn’t match but the book is definitely worth listening to and it’s very interesting

Excellent

Excellent story and never a dull moment. Great writing. I was entertained the entire time.

great read or listen

kept me engaged and longing to return when i had to put it down.. AND THE NARRATOR... omgeeeee had me digging for books she's done.. shes so colorful ..

I love this book it was amazing the storyline

the story was a twist it was a lot of things I expected I didn't know that what happened but it did

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE NARRATION!!!!

Why is the narrator reading the way she is? Did they not listen to this before they published it?? Its like she is rushing her words, and the over enthusiasm is her voice is so uncalled for. I only listened to about 6 minuets of the book, because that's all I could stand.

I liked the story but the book is too short

like the book ot was just too short and left me wanting more. left me wanting more.
