I have read several books by this author and for the most part, I must say that I walk away fully satisfied but this book right here launched Ms. Saquea into another stratosphere!!! I absolutely LOVED this book from start to finish. The evolution of her writing skills has just soared from the first book that I read to this one. I felt so many emotions from beginning to end that it is difficult for me to put all of them into words. I will surely try. The characters Casino, Canaan, Bambi, Majesty, all them kids whose names started with "C" LOL, China, Aamil, and the boys' mother just helped create a story that was dynamic from beginning to end. First I want to thank Ms. Saquea for creating a dark-skinned leading lady in Bambi who actually had dark-skinned features. Not the exotic dark-skinned woman that you see every blue moon but the sister that you see when you look in the mirror because you've been blessed to be among this group of fabulous, divalicious, tawny-hued DIVAS(yes I'm among the blessed LOL). Secondly, I loved the relationship between Casino and Canaan. The fact that Canaan loved his brother enough to do what he did knowing that he was taken years away from himself was a selfless act that I can never see enough of. Bambi was a complex young lady but she was completely lovable and loyal. You couldn't help but keep your fingers crossed that in spite of everything that she had been through in her short life that she was going to come out on the winning side. China lord she gives's baby mommas a horrendous reputation and quite frankly I was itching for Casino to dump her in the river somewhere(call me bloodthirsty). The imagery and the visualizations that I was able to glean from the words that were illustrated on each page were simply awe-inspiring. I am hard pressed to really name many authors that can live up to the legacy that Ms. Saquea has chosen to create for herself. She is simply for lack of a better phrase completely tuned into what will draw her readers in and keep them imprisoned with her words until the very last punctuation mark appears on the last page. I absolutely can not wait until the next saga comes out. I will anxiously be waiting on pins and needles to see what this author has in store for us next. I know whatever it is, it will unequivocally be one that the masses will be unable to put down until they finish the last sentence!!! GREAT JOB Ms. Saquea, GREAT JOB!!!!!

Great read

Casino thought he had everybody and everything under control. Boy was he wrong, never ever trust a woman scorned. For most of the story we thought that Kendal was the snake and that he couldn't be trusted. I even thought he shot Canaan. I loved the relationship the brothers shared and how they truly had each other's back. Kendal turned out to be trustworthy after all. I love Adore and she don't take no mess from Canaan, she's his match. I hope in book 2 Jeremy get what's coming to him. Hopefully, Adore's baby is Canaan and they work out their differences and make their relationship work. Bambi is really a good girl and she warned Casino several times not to mess with her, of course he didn't listen and she had to show him. I loved there mama, she told it to them straight, she didn't take their side just because. Casino baby mama China was something else, she thinks she has gotten the last laugh, bring on part 2. This story was full of lies, secrets and betrayal. I couldn't stop reading it until I was finished. This book was very well written and edited. If you're looking for a great read 1-click this today!!! Can't wait for part 2 to drop.

Not bad at all just not much going on that really holds you to the story or want to read more into the characters. The whole top dog role just doesn’t really add up with Casino, seems he’s too detached from what’s going on with his guys to be in that role. The ending was interesting but again for him to be the head guy he shouldn’t have been caught out there like that.

An okay read

Seems short but it had a lot drama in it. Casino is the man on the streets but his baby mama China is always being messy. Bambi is just working and making a living but when casino sets his eyes on her, her attitude makes him want her more. Canaan is out of jail and casino switches up his organization but Kendal his right hand feels salty. Drama,baby mama, and a rat casino is on the hunt.

China needs to sit her butt down. Bambi let her guard down with Casino. Dutchess trying to get clean. I wonder who did that to Bambi. Kendal wanted her. Adore should have told Canaan about Jeremy. Majesty came out of her shell. What Robert done to Bambi and Dutchess was wrong but Laura handled that for them. I hope that Casimir and Casaan get out of this mess and Bambi bevalright. China get what's coming to her. Part two waiting

Excellent Read

I think that this book is your best one Charmanie. Bambi was a firecracker and I loved her no nonsense attitude. Casino was the typical thug player. But I liked his character tho. That China was the typical baby mama from hell nightmare. I can't wait until karma gives her a dose of her own medicine. Hopefully, part two won't be too long.

Dam

This was a good book. I don't want Bambi to be with Casino, he is a cheating dog and he comes with too much dam drama. I really hope she survives and leave that man alone. Like dam he got a baby mama from he'll, China is a total bitch and she deserves to beat up r something, Dam I can't stand her. I can't wait to read book 2.

Sheesh!!!

That damn China was a true pain in the neck. It's a shame that it took Casino to see what he had in Choc after it was all said and done. I can't wait for part 2 please oh please let China get the business, hopefully it will be delivered by the hands of Bambi.
