Publisher's summary

Scotland Craig had an easy and somewhat privileged life until she traded it all in for the love of a thug. The sheltered beauty had no idea what she signed up for, finding herself trapped in a loveless and abusive relationship years later, and with no one to turn to.

Isolated from family and friends because of the one man she thought would be her happily ever after, Scotland is depressed, broke, and a shell of the woman she used to be. But when her man does the unthinkable, it is the last straw, causing Scotland to make a huge gamble in the name of revenge. But when that retaliation follows her home, adding yet another problem to her already hefty plate, Scotland must figure a way out of the hell she now calls life. And when a sexy gangsta enters her world, reaching a hand out to save her, she is tempted to take it, not realizing he's close to everything she feels is ruining her life.

Lequay Compton, the laid back, handsome and charming gangsta, has only ever had love for the almighty dollar. With multiple successful businesses and an impenetrable drug empire, money literally ain’t a thing. Women have always been an afterthought and something to enjoy when he has the time, so long as it doesn’t interfere with his cash. This is much to the chagrin of his close homegirl, waiting in the shadows for their friends-to-lovers story to commence. However, when Lequay has two chance encounters with the same woman, unknowingly, he finds himself drawn to her or them, no matter how many curve balls are thrown his way; the biggest one being his lack of freedom. Always determined and never one to quit, Lequay is steadfast in his attempts to make a seemingly unattainable woman attainable.

But when he and Scotland finally figure out just who they are to one another, things take a turn for the better and the worse … for some.

In this story filled with secrets, twists, and good Black love, you will witness the undeniable bond between two people who are fated to be together. And how nothing or no one, not even themselves, can keep them apart.

Good but graphic

Kept me listening and was hard to put down; however, may trigger some with the very graphic violent parts. A good portrayal of the mindset in today’s society. Narrators did a great job with characters. Will look for more books written by this author and narrators.

The Comptons stay applying pressure

I am so in love with this series! I wasn’t sure what to make of Laquay in the earlier installments, but BAYBEE he is that dude!

Performances by Anna Lynn and Tony were excellent - Tony’s voiceover style is a natural for urban romance, and he’s getting better with each listen. Anna Lynn did a great job distinguishing between characters and delivered the humor well.

Shvonne Latrice is a very talented writer. The pacing and character development in her stories is done well, and fans of urban romance will enjoy this one.

Daaaannnng lil prime

I'm 3 books in(technically 4 since I read this next one). I wasn't happy about the wait time but the story itself was great. I'm hoping to get a book on all of the brothers. I don't want to tell the story line but you will see that love / infatuation makes you crazy. You will see that the right man will go to bat for the right woman.

I liked Lequay in the Marriage Favor

I love to see he grew up. Seems very mature in book 1. As an adult I fell in love with his character he's so much like Prime. He's a true definition of a man & gangster.
