From the Hood with Love

By: BriAnn Danae

Narrated by: Cary Hite

Despite her unsavory upbringing, Loriana Simms vows not to let the fast, gritty lifestyle of the hood dismantle her innocence. With dreams of leaving what she calls home behind, Loriana's plans are abruptly placed on hold. While her circumstances have, in some measure, matured the bashful teen, they have also left her in an immense amount of distress. No longer meek to the world around her, Loriana comes into her own as a woman and finds herself caught up in the likes of the young hoodlum, Projex.

With a known reputation in the hood for his insolent way with words, outlandish behavior, cold pen game, and disgustingly handsome good looks, Bryshon 'Projex' Emery snatches Loriana's unprepared heart. Stuck in his grind as a true hustler, Projex has hardly any time on his hands for a companion. Though the moment he crosses paths with Loriana, Projex jokingly pledges to change her last name. When one wrong decision ends deadly, Loriana is pressured to choose between the life she once knew and the one her heart belonged to.

The hood has caused an extra layer to thicken around their hearts, making it seemingly impossible to peel. Love didn’t seem to be in the equation for either of them. Will his addiction to the fast life cause their pretentious relationship and lives to fold before it can bloom? Or will the two take heed and remember where they came from?

Characters

Hooked from the beginning to end. I need the second book on Audible ASAP! Love love loved it.

Mundane Storyline

The storyline was very boring. Nothing really happened. there wasn’t really a conflict. There was no climax. I continued to listen to see if there was going to be some sort of plot twist and nothing. The narrator was amazing as always! But you cannot narrate yourself into a good plot line.
