Gunplay & LeTavia 2: Shawty Want a Thug

Rate this book
This love story is not for the faint of heart…After a series of events no one saw coming, Gunplay decided to keep his distance from LeTavia to keep her life from spiraling even more out of control than it had since the day he’d placed himself into it. However, the time has come for him to get her back and he’s determined to have her as the lady by his side.LeTavia is on her way home from a difficult trip to the clinic, her first step to wash away her past, when she sees Gunplay for the first time in months, looking even more irresistible than ever before. He’s the same old Gunplay, the roughest kind of thug, but there is something else. The savage in him is even wilder than ever before as he struggles to fulfill his need to conquer New York at all costs. Can they put the past behind them and move on to be the couple they once were?Gunplay is a hustler in every sense of the word, and that fact has only grown over the last few months since he’s been away. With Cutta in prison, he puts in place his plan to dominate the entire city of New York, but the more he pushes on, it seems to him that he’s greatly underestimated his opponent. In the midst of dealing with the war he’s waging in the streets, he’s also dealing with learning to control his ruthless ways. So use to shooting first and asking no questions at all, his mental stability is put to the test. Will LeTavia’s confession about what happened between she and Cutta push him over the edge?Love and loyalty. These are both things that Gunplay & LeTavia crave. But can love and loyalty be intertwined peacefully and last amid the dark evils of street life?

Love love loved it!!!!

I must say I fell in love with Gunplay and LeTavia, because there history started off so crazy but at the end it was what brought them closer together because they had the most important thing which is trust. I would love to read more about Gunplay and the kicker to all of it would be that LeTavia bless him with a baby. Excellent read!!!

Man I try to support my people

Next time this author needs to write with not only a dictionary in hand but a thesaurus on lap. So many words used out of context. Some just straight up weren't words. "I mired..." .... uhm...WHET??? I can see how this book could kill brain cells. Zero character development. Zero consistency in what was developed. So many contradictions I'm cross-eyed. Then this guy gunplay is ridiculously dumb and ignorant with no impulse control but was able to become a kingpin?? NOT. And don't get me started on all the dumb broads that repeatedly accepted all levels of disrespect, enabled these little boys and then gave someone else advice to do the same thing. I CANT.

Most of this was just dumb. I thought it would be more put together but the story was so bland I just wanted it to be over. Then on top of all that, the switch between writing styles was horrible. All the flowery Brenda Jackson/Nora Roberts fru-fru to the hood-hard core was so off. Like, “…her lips lubriciously worked feverishly…” (Kindle Location 946) and “…her maudlin tears staining…” (Kindle Location 3347) I could go on but for what? I understand you want to evolve as a writer but with this type of book it seemed copy pasted or push happy on the thesaurus.

All the signs were pointing to who was really behind everything so for sloppy Gunplay to not see it really just made him seem dumb. Add on he was supposed to have all these “soldiers” ready for whatever but they were never anywhere around when the time was needed. The brief part with his cousins was a let down, even if they didn’t mess with his mother the least they could do was bring her up but it was as if they didn’t even know or care. What a let down.

Gunplay needs professional help......

I enjoyed this book. The story was good. I did not really realize just how crazy Gunplay was until I read part 2. Dude was seriously reckless, had a really bad temper and was always in his feelings. He did have some redeeming qualities though. His love for Letavia was deep and very sincere even though he went LEFT on her a few times. Her love for him was just as deep and she stuck by him even when he went LEFT. They are just a CRAZY in love couple and I hope to read more about them in the future. Don't make us wait too long though...lol.

Hhhmmmm

As much as I liked this story, it was all over the place. The continuity and follow-thru were not there. This book could have been 10 times better with just those thing. Example: first Imani was 5, then she was 7. Then Tavi was assaulted and shown the video 5 years prior to? Naw. If there is co-writing going on the left pen definitely needs to know what the right pen is writing.

Shawty Got A Thug

The book is triple it's ratings. The authors has a well developed storyline. This story kept my attention to the end. This is really a I've story about two people , Gunplay and LeTavia who are in love and learning to trust each other. This book has a lot of drama, action, humor, and betrayal all in one. What a great read. Love me some Gunplay!!!!

Gunplay and LeTavi a book 2

I loved the second part of my book only wish that they could have just left things alone and Gunplay didn't have to deal with Griggs again. Think he is trouble and just want Gunplay back in the game with him. Hope that he makes it back to LeTavia. Give shouts to Rashana on his life out the game. Can't wait for book 3.

Didn’t hold my attention

I.m sorry, This book and these characters was all over the place. It was slow dragging and didn’t focus enough on building relationship, friendship or how and when what made him to want to be a kingpin. Should have wrote more of the relationship with his mother and getting=g a Kingpin tp go to church

Very very good!!

I felt like I was in the movies watching all of the drama play out! I did not want this book to end. This could definitely make it to the big screens. I highly recommend you read this, its only two parts so there's no waiting for a 3 part.

I thought Tavia was a goner there for a minute but it's good to have a friend that you can call to help you think rational and have your back. I loved this series. I want them to get the baby they want though

Oh the drama

A drama filled series Gunplay is crazy and his Queen Letavia is just as crazy as he is. A snake slithering around that underestimated his opponent and over played his hand.

10 star read

Definetly a good read, Latavia was a loyal chick, and Gunplay was straight gutta, they were a good fit. I like how u brought Trigga into the fold of the story. I figured E-class was going to be the snake that was lurking in the shadows waiting to take a bite, just hated Rayshaun had to get crossed but Gunplay was a solid friend so he looked out decent. Keepem' coming Leo, CU's I'm going to definetly keep read them!!!!
