Publisher's summary

This is the first installment of a fierce new series by the co-author of Desperate Hoodwives, featuring an intimate look at the scandalous life of a wifey who uses her sex appeal and street smarts to make it big.

In the hood, every day is about struggle and survival, and no one understands that daily grind more than 22-year-old Kaeyla “Goldie” Dennis. She’s been the “wifey” of an older, wealthy man since she was 15, but the discovery of their longtime affair by his real wife brings to a crushing end her hood-fabulous lifestyle in their low-rise project in Newark.

After trying every hustle she can think of to make money, including selling knockoff clothing and bootleg DVDs, Goldie gets an irresistible offer from a sexy strip-club owner. She becomes the club’s biggest act and takes her show on the road, running her own strip club on the weekends in her apartment. But Goldie’s love of money causes her to make decisions that bring on enemies, and the ultimate test comes when she’s gang-raped, beaten, and almost killed. When an offer for her silence is made, will she choose money over self-respect?

I loved this book. this is my second time listening to it and I never got bored. love Goldie

The narrator made this book

A nice surprise! Finished in one day. Glad I gave it a chance. The narrator really paints a picture with her voice!❤️

ummm no wifey on any grind?

good book but using the word wifey doesn't fit the story line at all. maybe real side chick...

Good story but...

It’s a good story but the repeat of the same words over and over is annoying..... pussy pussy pussy and dick dick dick I wish she used other words to describe things

Good read

This book wasn't bad I think the best part about this book is the ending and how the internal conflict regarding money or your self comes into perspective. This book is for the young readers. Right is right and wrong is wrong on all levels.

A lesson to be learned....

I actually read this one second, and the second book first. It really shows the downfalls of being a wifey and not a wife. I liked the way it links to second book and gives you both main characters side of the story being told. You must read both. Honey Jones narrates and I love her.

like book was good

the narrator told crazy real story and characters in book was wonderful. the author wrote good book on how life real like.

Can't Wait For More!!!!!

This book had my ears open and my mind wondering about whats gonna happen next. Alot of people will be able to relate to the main character, I'm sure of it. Because everybody got a story to tell.
