Rate this book
***THIS IS A STANDALONE****

August and his crew are straight cutthroat. Each of them brings their own individuality to the crew making them untouchable. August is the true definition of the word Goon. He is known for being a by any means necessary type of dude. He lives each day like it's his last taking whatever he doesn't have.
Khori is running from her past. She relocates to Florida for a fresh start. She is beautiful and intelligent. From the outside looking in, she has everything going for herself.
Neither of them was looking for love, but coincidently, love found them. In their eyes, they are perfect for each other, but not everyone is going to be happy for them or bless their union. One wrong decision will drastically change their lives forever. Read along to see if the good girl can tame her goon.

A good girl and goon

This book was good. I loved Khori and August relationship. I don't know what to say about Zay in so many ways I felt bad for especially the way she went out. I was happy that everybody got out.

So cute!!!

I'm in awe of this read. It was a roller coaster, but I enjoyed all the twists and turns. My favorite character by far was August. He was real as they come and his character piqued my interest.

Good

It was a good story. I thought it was on the short side but to finally get a story in one book is amazing these days. The author covered everything and didn't leave us wondering about much in the end. Only What money KZ kept referring to. Did he know about the robberies? I like that August wasn't black because in these urban books, all goons and thugs are black. I would've had a hard time picturing him if she didn't give an example of who he looked like. I kind of ft bad for Zayleigh but she chose her path. The story ended well. It was a good read.

Great plot!

Great plot with lots of scandal! Took several twists I didn't see coming which made it that much more enjoyable. Great read couldn't put it down!

Great book

I absolutely loved this book. From the cover,to the title, and the storyline, this book was great. August was a different type of goon compared to most of the books that I have read. He wasn't a drug dealer, but his hustle was indeed illegal. Khori was escaping a situation that most women pray they don't or won't have to experience. This book has plenty of twist and turns to keep you going. There is not one dull moment in the book. Denetra did an amazing job telling this story.

Love

When you know what your man does for a living and it just brings your love that much closer!!!! Aug Boi needed somebody to slow him down before he destroyed everything in his path. Khori just needed someone to love after all she been thru!!! And everybody else helped bring the book together. You will not be disappointed. Great book.

Good love Story.

This was a really good love story. The writing was really good. I always like to read mix race strokes heck it is apart of the real world. Also happy it was the normal Kingpin stories. This story had a lot substance. I chief Benson wasn't no fool either about his some. Glad everyone got what they wanted and more at the end.

Great read!

This is a great read for anyone who is looking for a good standalone book. The title definitely fits the story. This book is a refreshing change from reading about the drug dealers. August was a hustler, just a different kind and of course it was illegal. I won't say anything else except that this is a must read.

Good read

This was a good read it didn't drag on it was at a steady pace so I'm thankful for that. This book shows just how greed can land you in certain situations that you may can't get out of. If you are looking for a good stand alone read then this is the book for you.
