Prison Throne: The Complete Series
Rasim Nami, a Sunni Muslim, denies his religion and Pakistani background to fall in line with American customs. When it is determined that his father is a part of the militant group responsible for the 9/11 attacks, he experiences a heavy dose of racism and breaks down, until Snow Bradshaw picks him back up. Rasim quickly becomes Snow's world, and although the road is rocky, they marry.
Years later, after his first taste of blood, Rasim becomes a drug lord with cult power. His name is whispered in and out of the federal prison system, and he is respected and feared. When he decides to purposely re-enter prison by violating his probation to help the son he never knew existed, Snow reluctantly stands by his side. Since his offspring is labeled a snitch, Rasim knows his son will not last a day without his help.
Despite Rasim having brushes with prison before, this sentence is harder on Snow. She recognizes that he has more control over her now than he did when he was home. She isn't allowed to make a move without receiving his call or emails, and she feels unappreciated. In addition, the mental abuse she endures while trying to gain weekly visits is torture.
With a love so strong, one would wonder why a helicopter is hovering over the home she shares with Rasim ... and why sixty SWAT officers have weapons pointed at the property.

Keep in mind it has been a few years since I've read an urban novel. I have my reasons for it - mostly because they need better editors. And now the "urban" life doesn't appeal to me anymore.
So anyway, on to this book. Like I said in one of my status updates - I don't appreciate the author using words that no one knows, just for the sake of using the words. Maybe the author thinks that she's doing a great thing...but it doesn't flow right when none of the characters use these same words. Just my opinion.
Secondly, the whole story irritated me to no end. Snow ends up staying with Rasim although he cheated on her (numerous occasions) - so many that he had a child with one of his flings. Please...it wouldn't be me. And she's so gung ho about Rasim being her man - that she overlooks his transgressions. She gets two abortions because he doesn't want to have any kids with her - due to his position in the drug game. I say please again - she was just very naive. Yes there are some people that take their marriage serious - as everyone should. But you can tell that Rasim didn't.
I gave this novel one star because to my amazement, it didn't need any edits. But the story did not resonate with me. Maybe to a teenager, yes. But when the focus is on someone supporting his family through the drug game...uh, no. Prison and drugs are not something that one should glorify.

Prison Throne is not your typical love story--- boy meets girl, they fall in love, get married, have kids & live happily ever after. No, no, no. Rasim meets Snow, their relationship starts off awkward, & things go haywire from there. What is consistent though is Snow loves her man. It reminds me of the saying 'even on the chessboard the Queen protects her King'. And she does it quite well. Prison Throne is a love story real people can relate to. The message that I took from this one is anything worth having is worth fighting for.
Once again T Styles impressed me with her word play & how she takes such honor in her craft. I learned plenty of new words & even learned about a different ethnicity. Kudos Mama T! Keep the bangers coming & I will continue to support!

My Twisted Momma did it again! She penned this unique love story that pulled at my inner most feelings... I did not always agree with Snow's philosophy but I did respect and honor her undying love for her man, her husband, Rasim. Individuals that love to this degree has a special place within the heart of God. Some of us has this rare dexterity, while others only yearn to have this ability. I know I could never have operated or moved as Snow did in the way that she allowed Rasim to have his way and still cater to his every need and want... All I can say is ... Thank the Lord, she grew stronger and wiser!
I highly recommend this book, as well as, all the other books that T. Styles has penned. You will NEVER be disappointed!

A Love Like No Other!!!
This was a great well written story. The love that Snow had for her man was undeniable. The type of love that will have you doing everything possible to make sure your lover was good on all aspects of the relationship. What Rasim fell to realize is that just like him when Snow loves she loves hard. In other words men should pay attention to the women they claim to love so much because if you stepping out on them they might just pull your card and show you that two can play that game but she play it so much better! T. Styles did it again this was a good book I wish I could give it ten stars!!!

Okay so when I started reading this book, I thought that it was going to be boring. But I was like nothing so far that I have read by this Author had been boring, so why was this one so different. Well let me just say that she was building up the suspense in this story and as I kept on reading it I couldn't put it down. T. Styles is a very talented writer and I must say all of her books with give you a different perspective on books. None of her books are the same and I love the different varieties of stories. I must say that she has a fan for life.

Peoples culture can take such a toll on there lives without them even knowing it or wanting that kinda lifestyle. Rasim life has took a turn for the worse in his young age but it allowed him to meet the love of his life. Through all their trials and tribulations Snow stood by his side no matter the cause. You will read of all the drama, the deceit and turmoil they both went through but in the end the relationship stood strong...or did it Lol. Read to find out. Great job TStyles!

Two youths meet and fall in love at Juvenile Detention Center and begin a roller coaster ride called life. Rasim sits on the top of his throne with Queen Snow by his side, but he allowed outside interferences to come between them...time and time again. So Snow had to teach him a lesson, the hard way! I loved this book, because it expresses true love at it's finest, as well as the highs and lows of it. Way to go Author Styles!

Great read. It's good to read a stand alone book with a great ending The relationship between Rasim & Snow was one that started in a juvenile detention center and lasted throughout. Even with Rasim's cheating ways, Snow's love for him was evident. Although In the beginning Rasim was considered the timid, weakest link of the crew, over time he was able to develop strength & eventually became a ruthless leader. Well written.

Another Banger!!!!!!. I loved this book. Snow was a strong woman when she realized her strength, but she was true to it also... Snow held her man down from the time she saw him. Ras was no damn good, a lesson learn "Cheris Your Queen" he learned his lesson through all the death, losing his heart & soul. I loved the end, It shows the the strength of a Queen's heart.. I also love the friendships in this book was good too.

This was definitely not your typical Romeo & Juliet love story. Rasim and Snow had a relationship that was not to be messed with and if you did, you suffered for it. Some may look at Snow as being weak because she let Rasim cheat on her soo much but in the end, when the dust cleared, it was the 2 of them still standing. Well done!

I have not read a novel by T Styles that I have not liked. This was an awesome read. The two main characters seemed to belong to different books, but the author brought them together nicely. I’m also thrilled that this is a stand-alone novel!

Urban Romance
There is something about the sparks between Snow and Rasim. It's a love anyone would wish to experience without the infidelity.
