A Hood Virgin & A Rich Thug: An African American Romance
Xylo Simmons has always been a fighter, pushing through life’s toughest challenges. Homeless and struggling, she meets Creed, a young, wealthy Alpha boss who can have any woman he wants. She thinks he'll ditch her when he finds out she’s a virgin, but instead, he changes her whole world. With a fancy home, a new car, and a solid job with benefits, Xylo’s living a life she never imagined. Just when she’s ready to give him her heart, Creed drops a bombshell.
Creed lives by his own rules, always chasing money and the fast life. Meeting Xylo gives him a rare sense of peace, but it’s not enough to change his wild ways. He sees her virginity as a prized possession and gets frustrated when she holds back, despite everything he’s done for her.
When Creed loses big at Gray Escapes casino, he’s stuck owing the owner, Keaton “Kozi” Gray, a serious debt. Desperate, Creed offers up Xylo’s chastity, knowing it’s not his to give. Kozi, a powerful and rough-around-the-edges guy, is instantly drawn to Xylo. She’s not feeling his rude attitude at first, but slowly, she starts to see another side of him in his high-stakes world.
Just when Xylo starts to feel comfortable, an old flame from Kozi’s past shows up, threatening to mess everything up. Will Kozi’s feelings for Xylo survive his past drama? Can Xylo protect her heart from his harsh charm, or will he end up being her biggest mistake?
If you're a fan of African American romance, virgin love stories, second chance romance, and high-stakes drama, you'll definitely love "A Hood Virgin & A Rich Thug" by S.L. Partee.

Ooh Whee This Right Here
Xylo was a young woman who grew up in the system and after losing shelter and being put out of where she was staying she meets Creed who seems to have it all. He offers her the world and then some but he has stipulations and strings attached. She has something she holds near and dear to her bc it’s special and she ain’t just giving it away to just anyone. Creed has had his fair share of women and he’s been waiting for Xylo to give him the green light. While he waits he hunching on everything moving that’ll give him some play. What Xylo doesn’t know is that he has a gambling problem and he offers her up to the highest bidder. That being Kozi, the owner of the casino he frequents. She learns of Creed’s true self with just that action. When Kozi sees her he knows he’s gotta have her and make her his woman. Kozi is a man about that action and I definitely see why. Kozi is in for a big surprise when someone blows back into his life after doing some shady things. Knuckles is definitely bae along with Kozi, he’s just had a hard life bc of decision he made as a child. I love him and Amadi together they just mesh so well. Xylo and Kozi definitely were made for one another and I love them to pieces already. I can’t stand Shareef, Tilly, Solo, Janielle or Cress. With ppl like them ain’t no need for enemies fareal. Wanna know why pick up this book if you haven’t already to find out why. You wrong for that cliffhanger Ms. ma’am bc wth? This book was great from start to finish and I can’t wait to get to book 2.

Boy oh boy!!! This was a great read! Tilly sighhhhh! Just when I thought she was a true rider, she showed out real bad! You want to know how someone really feels about you, let some real ish go down! Though not really given a chance, I'm glad Xylo didn't go spilling the beans of how her and Kozi came about! Creed is one stupid s.o.b. Matter of fact, both him and Lino! He surely didn't deserve Xylo and even after all the dumb mess he put her through, he really gave her, well her flower, up without a second thought! Kozi's family seems to like her with the exception of Tori who is living in some past fantasy. All these threats popping up one by one and Kozi can't catch a break. Knuckles showed up and brought all kind of heat to not only Kozi's doorstep but Armadi's as well! Janeille is the biggest snake and I don't care about no history because there's no way she is showing up with a whole damn toddler! Kano done messed around and I hope Kozi doesn't think Xylo was on some messy ish because I really love them together! I think this is gonna get bad real fast and hopefully, the strong survives after the dust settles!

What a way to leave us hanging!
Look, Ms. Partee NEVER disappoints! Once again, she has me wanting more and making up stuff in my head. Lol. Your heart puts pours out to Xylo from the very beginning. She makes you want to fight this thing called life by her side. Kozi is that dude! He gives BDE from the gate. Kozi is a man that knows what he wants, but I hope he don't go off on my girl too bad. Because why didn't he tell her that he had a brother, if he did I don't remember. But then again why would his brother have on the same outfit as him?! Whew chile now we gotta play detectives 😂😂 Then what's up with his ex just popping back up at this very moment? You can't tell me his Mama has nothing to do with that part. Now, when you add Amadi and Knuckles to the mix, you just left hoping he's not hurt. I just need part 2. So all my mini theories can be proven 😆

I started this book last night and I know I could have finished but I didn't want it to end at all. I needed more. First off five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ had me hooked immediately. Creed is a punk. Kozi is the man 🥰😍. I'm happy Xylo stood on business w/ her ex and now she can flex with her new boo. Tilly is a hater.. she has been a hater.. I can't stand females like her.. I love Koda she was on it for Kozi.. overall this book has twists and turns but it will keep you on your toe.. I don't wanna say too much but the new couple has hella enemies.. so for that I'm curious to know what's gonna happen in part 2 cus baybee part one has me wide awake..
If y'all haven't already gone check out this book.. chefs 💋
I highly recommend it 🥰

It's About To Get Messy
Damn..... Kozi got a twin and a baby that Xylo knew nothing about. This bout to set Kozi and Xy back a few steps just when he's gotten her to let her walls down. I'm sick of Tilly and Cress. Them hos needs to go jump off something. Tilly was never Xylo friend if she turned on her so easily without knowing the facts. I hope Knuckles, Amada and especially Shy are ok. What ever beef his brother has with him is misplaced and he should have been happy his mother's life was saved. Can't wait to see how everything gonna play out.💟💟

So far so good
Alot going on and I am enjoying it. The chemistry between Kozi and Xylo off the charts. I love that even though Xylo was a virgin she wasn't scary, meek, or weak. I like her feisty personality, and her smart mouth. Tilly was a wack friend, and this new friendship with Cress is gonna land her in the same business as Cress if she keeps on with this attitude with Xylo. Amadi and Knuckles pending relationship seems to be going nice but..... his people man! What's up with that?

Whewwwww
Okay let me first say I love Kozi and Xylo together but baby they got some haters like it's really insane how far people will go to ruin someone else's happiness. Knuckles baby gotta stop giving his brothers the benefit of the doubt because now ahmadi is all mixed up in it his brothers are foul too because why would you come causing those problems at this women's house like that when her child is there.

Okay talk about crazy
I don’t even know what to make of this book. Like who Xylo falling for Kori like that is crazy but then again I can see how it happened with him treating her the way he did. The story took me a minute to get into it because at fist i wasn’t understanding why Xylo was a holding on to Creed the way she was but as the story went on I couldn’t help but root for her and Kozi. The return of the ex and twin will definitely bring an interesting dynamic.

Creed, Shareef, Tilly, Cress, Kano and Janielle....
They all need to go because why are you here when they are no longer wanted or weren't wanted in the first place. I love Xylo and Kozi, Knuckles and Amadi are couple goals in the making. I hope Knuckles is okay and Kozi doesn't hold the kiss against Xylo she recognized during the kiss it wasn't him and I highly doubt that's Kozi's daughter.

Messy!!!
Xy was awesome. She wasn't going to be the one to keep taking stuff. She was sweet and too kind, but if you crossed her, she was about it. Kofi was interesting. He was ruthless to those who needed to see it. Creed got what he deserved. I can't wait to read the next book. This cliffhanger was on point.

Girl you already know how I feel about any of your work. You are a beast when it comes to this type of stuff. And this right here was up there with one of my favorite works by you. It may have topped Bonafide. But let me get over to part 2 cause I need to know what the heck is going on.

Oooooooohhh. I need book 2
This cliffhanger got me going crazy. Kano decided to pop up. So is that his baby or nah? People are so deceiving it's hard to tell what's what. Especially when your family is your worst enemy. Great book. 5 stars!

I’m praying you are halfway done writing part 2. I cannot believe I fell for the okey doke and read this book without having part 2 available to me. The cliffhanger… I expected nothing less. My poor Xylo can’t catch a break. And Knuckles better be OK. Just why! Whyyyyy!

🤔🤔
I'm a little confused. I thought this was a standalone, but I'm interested in seeing how it all plays out. Why is Janelle back and bringing Kano? And why is Kano kissing Xylo like he knows her? Tilly and Creas are getting on my nerves. I hope Amadi is okay.

There was a lot going on in the book. I never saw Kano coming in as who he was. I thought he was a different relative. The drama kept coming. Who got shot? Mida or knuckles. I can’t wait to see how this plays out

Sneaky
These people are the worst. I hope knuckles is okay. Why is Kozi’s ex and long lost brother showing up all of a sudden. Always some mess in the background. Tilly and Cress need to have a seat with their messy selves. On to part 2.

Kozi and Xylo
Urban Indecent Proposal..sort of…took a while to get to what was really going on and it’s a lot going on with the characters.
Some I understood and some I didn’t…. The Jainelle return was predictable. The twin pop up wasn’t.

I can tell this is going to be a super intense series. Lots of drama and surprises! Kozy and Xylo have a bunch of haters in their path and I just know part two is about to be insane!
