Rate this book
Za’adore was a good girl with big dreams, ones her mother manages to wipe away in the blink of an eye. She finds herself caught up in a house filled with chaos, kept women and secrets as she is used to repay her mother’s debts to the local crime family. With only escape on her mind will she be able to fight the feelings she has for one of her captors?

Avian is the prince of the streets in the Bronx and the head of the infamous Deranjed Family. He gets money and has females falling at his feet just to get close to his body. Well all females that is except the one he wants, Za’adore. With his enemies’ right under his nose things quickly spiral out of control, can Avian handle the pressure and prove he is a boss or will he come to a bloody end?

Nadège, a young mother whose life seems to be falling apart before her eyes struggles daily to stay afloat. Meeting Kemori in an unlikely situation he steals her heart with his aggressive behavior and unexpected kindness towards her son. Even though she always said she wouldn’t fall in love with a bad boy there is no controlling the way he makes her feel. But when she finds out who he really is will love be strong enough to save what they have?

Kemori has always been on the outside looking in since his pops wouldn’t claim him and his younger brother Avian became the head of the family, in name that is. Kemori has been cleaning up Avian’s messes for years and he has had enough when the Deranjed family legacy causes him to lose the one person he has ever loved. But walking away from the family may be a decision he will truly come to regret.

When jealousy reaches an all-time high, scorned lovers seek revenge and love begins to hurt who will be left to hold on to? Join Za’adore, Nadège, Avian and Kemori as they find out.

A Must Read

Some women shouldn't have children. Za'adore mother had a addiction and didn't give a damn about putting her in harms way with Kane sick ass. Avian became so smitten with Za'adore and tried to keep her protected from his father that he slipped. He should have been paying better attention to his surroundings because Charmayne was plotting. Nadege mother was a evil ole witch. I hope somebody beat her ass for what she was doing to her daughter and grandson. I understand that was hurt when she found out who Kemori really was but she shouldn't have allowed her pride to get in the way. Kemori can not help who he kin to. He really have some love for Nadege and her son. Nadege have a delusional, trifling, and trash ass ex. I was pissed the way this ended and I hope Kemori make it in time.

I Only Have One Regret!

And it’s that I waited almost two years to read this book! Now I cannot rest until I finish the series!

I can’t say that I have ever been a fan of the kidnapping trope, but this book had me hooked the moment Kane and Avi bust down Za’Adores front door! From their first meeting I was kind of hoping that Janey and Bennie couldn’t come up with the money because I wanted to see a better life for Za’Adore and I had a feeling it would come with Avi.

I loved almost everything about Kem, minus the way he treated Stacy Ann. I really wanted to love Nadege and for the most part I did but her insecurities really bugged me when it came to Kem.

With everything so up in the air with every relationship in this book, not just romantic ones either, I am diving straight into part two because I know I won’t rest until I see this series through to the end.

My name is K Sherrie,
And I recommend this read!

BANGER

I was locked in from the beginning! This book so Good , I finished it in one day . I love Kem and the fact that he was a no nonsense type of man , and he did not play about Nadège. Nadège was working my nerves, being naive but then I had to remember she was. I felt so bad for Za’adore because her mom left her for dead. I’m on the fence about Avian , and I can’t believe how this book ended ! I forgot all about Sam, but I hope Kem get to Nadége. Very good read I highly recommend.

I didn't like Nadège and Za'adore's mothers. They put them in the worst predicaments. Avian is crazy and I hope Nadège gets away. Sam was definitely wrong how he did Za'adore, but he will get what's coming to him. I like Za'adore and Kemori together. I can't wait to see what happens in part 2.

Love this story

It explains a lot of what happens to a lot of young girls that grow up in broken homes. I love the characters I’ll admit I’ve been sleeping on some authors but I’m glad I read this book!

Ok

There was plenty of drama in this book, but I found myself skipping a few pages to get to the point. All that stuff happened and they still haven't graduated

Loving this series

I really like Kem. He's a good dude deep down. Avi on the other hand is weak. He should have stood up to his daddy a long time ago.

Great read

That cliffhanger brought tears to my eyes!! This was a great read and different from regular urban books. Sam and Kane are evil and their karma needs to get them and get them good! Man the main characters all carried hardships but from different walks of life. You had the poverty and drugs hardships down to issues of power and control. I enjoyed this read!
