I was born and raised in Washington D, C. I’m a mother of one and grandmother to a beautiful little girl. I enjoy reading and writing, relaxing to music, but most of all I love spending time with my family. I worked in the child care field for many years and obtained the education needed to own my own childcare center. Writing has always been a passion of mine and I started writing books as a hobby. But the more I wrote, the more I started to think about becoming a publish author. My family and my friends believed in me and encouraged me to seek a publisher. It took a few more years before I decided to submit a manuscript but I’m so glad I did. I learned so much working with Treasured Publications and I’m more than grateful for the opportunity. The best part of being a published author is connecting with readers and getting their feedback. It only helps me to grow in my craft and I appreciate. My advice to anyone out there with a dream is to never give up and keep striving for success no matter how many people try to discourage you. And always remember through faith and prayer, all things are possible. Thank you for reading my book and getting to know me.
I loved this book. This wasn't your particular urban fiction of a bunch of drugs and killing. This was a story of strong will powered parents willing to sacrifice their lives for their precious princess. King is definitely my new book babe. He treated his wife and daughter like how all men should treat the women in their lives. He played no games. His wife Leonese was awesome I loved how she could calm King down by either a look or by simply touching him. Their love is what I wish to have one day. Aubrey Rose was good is this book. She respected her parents and aunt's. Most teenagers would be rebellious because they don't live with their parents. She was starting to do hinge against the grain for a little while like most teens. I would recommend this book to anyone.
Wow where to start. This was the first book by this author that I have read! And I must say she did a phenomenal job. I will definitely be reading more. When I first heard they were doing a urban princess series I was a little apprehensive! But after reading this and the first one I can't wait to see what the others are like. So far this is my favorite she really did her thing. I loved it. I'n happy this series is opening me up to authors I haven't read before! This was one of the best books in 2017.
This is Definitely a must read. Ty Leese put this spin on sleeping beauty and it couldnt have been any better. I loved Prince & Aubrey Roses relationship, they reminded me of her parents. The love they shared was amazing & it was something like a fairytale. Ps. I LOVEEEE ZaTashas Name
Another great princess book I loved this book i couldn't put this book down I like how you can distinguish between the characters who's who and and loved king and leonese relationship and the love the have for the daughter Aubrey and I loved Prince and Aubrey love they had for one and Mel straight was straight tripping
I really loved this story. King is a fool, and had me laughing the whole book. I'm glad that Aubrey got her a boo, cause they sheltered the hell out of her. Prince was just what she needed. Can we get Sleeping In The Beauty Of A Thugs Love...The Wedding? Good read!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this story!!! When digging a grave for some one else dig one for yourself. That’s what Mel should have done. Prince’s love for Aubrey Rose was unmatched. I love the way he stood up to King. This book was a decent length. I will definitely recommend it.
I loved this book!! Aubrey Rose and Prince had a good relationship and I LOVED the progress from beginning to end... king and her mom spoiled her rotten because she did not live with them because of Mel...That Mel???? how convenient that Mel was his uncle Glad they ALL got want was. Coming to them.. Sleeping Beauty ZTasha was such a GREAT friend
This is an amazing twist on Sleeping Beauty. The relationship between Prince and Audrey Rose is beautiful to read about in this book. I absolutely love Prince and his unwavering love for Audrey even in the eye of a Savage Father
This was most definitely a very good book. Aubrey Rose & Prince is such a cute couple & so n love with each other. I can say one thing he ain't no punk & he stood up to King like a man. This was a wonderful love story with just the right amount of drama.
Excellent continuation of the Princess series. Great urban spin on Sleeping Beauty. Rose and Prince were made for each, loved that Prince stood up to King. The loss of Lil Prince was heartbreaking. ZaTasha was the friend we all need in our life!! Definite 5 ***** recommendation.
This was a nice spin on sleeping beauty. I loved Aubrey and Prince relationship. I liked how Prince stood up to her father too. I did not like Mel and I’m glad he got dealt with. ZaTasha was a good friend to her, we all need a ZaTasha in our lives.
A modern day fairytale with a hood twist. I loved how the how put her own spin on this favorite fairytale. Prince loved him some Aubrey Rose from the moment he set eyes on her. Grab this five star read you won't be disappointed.
This version of sleeping beauty was amazing. The love between all couples was refreshing. While the new love is blooming, old hatred is threatening to tear Beauty and her Prince apart
I just knew I had this book all figured out, I just knew prince was sent by mel...Caleb i wasn't expecting that...i felt so bad for her when those three girls attacked her... her daddy wasn't playing no games with prince..i really loved it
Mel how he gonna threat someone. Aubrey was a little bit to grown. Prince was wrong I like King he was protected of his daughter It always a snake in the camp. I felt bad for Leonese. She kept trying. A good book to read
Such a good book. Aubrey was such a blessed person to have 2 Alpha males in her life. Her dad then her man. It was great to see that they got along so well in the end.
This book was everything from beginning to end drama action intense couples up and down suspense revelation revealed intense enjoyed reading happy ending
I’m glad I didn’t leave this book on the shelf. Then I would’ve missed a great love story. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m going back for more.
