Love in the Trap
Mia and Romeo was both born into poverty. Romeo's case being worse than Mia because he finds himself homeless after the death of his grandmother. Mia's mother has a nasty gambling problem that is so severe that Mia has to go without food and everything else a young girl her age needs to survive. With no other option, she is forced to steal in order to keep clothes on her back and food in her stomach.
When an unfortunate event brings these two together, they realize that they need each other in more ways than one. A friendship that was only based on business has now flourished and turned personal. Together they turn into a force to be reckoned with beating down traps in order to survive.
Murder is the man in the streets. He’s handsome, charming and has more money than he can spend. Murder finds himself in a dying relationship with Trixie who doesn’t care what he does as long as she can remain his main chick.
When he run into Mia, he immediately falls for her not knowing the real reason behind their encounter.

Lucinda John always delivers that heat. Romeo is bae and I loved him from the beginning. He was dealt a terrible hand but used what he knew in order to survive. Everybody always turned their noses up at him, but not Mia. Mia treated him like somebody from the start. She gave him a place to lay his head and made sure he ate. I loved their relationship and I really thought it would last forever. Then comes Murder, I knew that Mia getting close to him was a mistake. The more she spent time with him the deeper her feelings became for him. Romeo && Shanie tried to warn her and she should have listened to them both. Shanie was a great friend and I hope her and Rodney work they stuff out and raise their baby together. I don't blame him for saying if she kills his baby this time he done with her. Romeo messed up dealing with Lucy and after she lied to the cops his life went down hill from there. I can't wait to see if Mia really is pregnant by Romeo or Murder, bring on part 2.....

I really loved this book. I kinda hate Rome and Mia and loved them at the same time. They both had it rough and had to get it how they lived but they were setting ppl up and robbing them. I like Murder and I’m scared of what’s going to happen when he finds out. Three babies were created in this book and I’m excited to find out who fathered at least two of them and if Shanie is going to keep hers. VERY exciting read 💯⭐️

Amazing read
I love the bond Mia and Romeo had, but she crossed the line. Like everything he did happened before their relationship. Murder got awhole baby momma out here and Mia don't even know. I love rereading old books

Really
I can't believe Mia fell for dude. Romeo is a sweet dude, he does love her but it's about to go down for real.

Banger!!!
Let me start by saying I love Romeo. He was a go getting til the end. I was disappointed that he wasn't honest with Mia about Lucy. But he had good intentions. Now Mia I loved @ 1st til she got selfish. She was never satisfied. I just hope she doesn't lose a Romeo over a cheater (Murder).
I love Shanie. She was the definition of a rider and true friend. I hope she and Hod Rod make it.

LOVE IN THE TRAP
It took me about a week to read...it couldnt keep my attention. I liked the the story, but it didnt get interesting to me until the last few chapters..moving on to book 2 because I want to find out what happens. I wonder who's baby it is. I really believe Mia is going to have murder's baby and Romeo is going to tear the city up. Smh. Hopefully book two gets five stars.

This story was really good. Unfortunately, I didn't give it 5 stars because the spelling and grammar was terrible! Like really bad. I've never read a Lucinda John book that had so many errors like this so I was surprised. Anyway, I can't wait for part 2; hopefully it'll be written better than this one.

I hope the baby she is carrying is Romeo's, Murder has falling in love I can just imagine when he find out Mia is pregnant...I hope Hot Rod And his girl can come to a understanding but if she isn't ready for kids she should've had some protection...I'm so ready for part 2

Great job! Some stories are so hard to follow, but Ms. Lucinda did a wonderful job laying this one out. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can not wait for part two. With relatable characters and real life situations it is such an anticipated page Turner. There were a few grammar/spell check issues but...

Two sides of a coin
That's why you are never supposed to make decisions while you are mad, add, depressed or just don't have all the facts. Dang, dang dang now she is in a messed up situation.
