When A Heartless Thug Holds Me Close : A True Love Story #2
When A Heartless Thug Holds Me Close 2
“I need to make sure Yara’s really for me. She’s seen the good, had my back through the bad, and I need to know if she’ll stick around for the ugly.”
Still reeling from Quade’s near-death experience, Yara handles being the girlfriend of a savage with kid gloves. She showers Quade with the affection he’s been missing while in exchange he gives her the loyalty she’s always craved. Fair exchange quickly becomes robbery when Quade demands more from Yara than she’s able to give, and sends her straight back to the dark times of her childhood. The monsters that haunted Yara’s childhood have nothing on Quade’s wild side, a side of him he’s always been able to suppress but never tame. When their relationship takes a devastating turn, Yara has to decide whether or not love will be enough to salvage a relationship that’s falling apart by the seams.
Quade has always lived life recklessly, with his acceptance and encouragement of death a rare trait, but in the eye of the very thing he’s always welcomed with open arms, he finds a new reason to live Yara. Her beauty, kind heart, and smart mouth have given him a new reason to live, and only as he accepts it his life is put on the line. Yara helps nurse him back to health, which proves to be a high point in their relationship until they reach the ultimate low. Quade’s inner demons come out to play, demons that he hasn’t relived since he lost the first woman to ever love him unconditionally—his mother. With his actions speaking louder than his words, Quade has to fight one of the toughest battles of his life with an enemy equally as lethal as he is. If he loses, he stands to lose the very woman to make him breathe again.
Known jokingly to everyone as an aspiring Griselda Blanco, Cash starts making serious money moves. She’s got a distributor in her pocket, her clientele is expanding, and the styling business she’s been dreaming of is nearly ready to launch. Cash goes from being a kept woman to keeping up with the Joneses, and for everything she has, only one thing is a relationship with Savion Townsend. In order to keep their situationship thriving, Cash piles one lie on top of the other to the point where she doesn’t know what the truth is anymore. And once those money moves turn bloody, Cash finds out exactly how ruthless the game can be when she goes from being the one holding the gun to the one staring down the barrel of it.
The second installment of When a Heartless Thug Holds Me Close weaves a story of being stuck on the wrong side of love. Will Quade be able to mend his relationship with Yara? Can Cash command the game and Savion’s heart? And most importantly, when given the opportunity to start over with a man that offers everything Quade has without the baggage will Yara accept, or does her love for Quade run deeper than she imagined?

I need a drink after this one!!
Wow, the amount of times my eyes have almost popped out of my head from the suprises in this book are numerous. Quade, my boo, can't catch a dang break! Corrine, Lord knows I wanted to strangle her. Cashmere can't catch a break either! She's trying to do something she has no idea about, learning as she goes, and she's hitting roadblock after roadblock. I need Yara to have several seats, date no one, trust no one. She's had it rough since the beginning. Ghetto ghetto ghetto smh I can't with him. He deserved everything and more. Amaya!!! Really?!?! I know part 3 is going to be CRAZY!! Leave Savion alone. Get it together Zeus, it's about to go down.

This book was so full of drama, action and suspense, then throw in all the twist and turns. Had so on the edge of my seat wondering what's happening next. The storyline and plot had my attention to the end and then some. It flowed really well and loved these characters. It was so many snakes slithering around and you didn't know who was who. And the secrets are coming out everywhere and i know it's more to come. Can't wait to see what happens next in PT.3

JUST GREAT!!!!!
Tya did the darn thing with this book. It was so good. I’ve never read a book with so much drama...one after another. This is most definitely a must read. I couldn’t believe that nasty Ghetto. The last two chapters blew my mind. I can’t wait to read part 3...Great job Tya...you never disappoints me...

I ❤ it.
This story had me so into it. I love Yara & Quade together. The Townsend brothers are a force. I knew Amaya was up to no good. They trusted her way too much. I can't wait for part 3. As much as I enjoyed the writing I really need to what 'save for' means? I promise I have laughed every time I read it. But I understand each city has It's own saying.

Getting so good
Omg I can't wait for or 3 to be released....the drama is really heating up and I'm waiting to see how everything going to unfold. Ghetto was lowdown and got what he deserved. I hope Savion come through for Cash and they work out. I know amaya gone end up getting what she deserves for being shady.

Them Townsend Boys
Where do I begin? What a great read. Very well put together. I really hate what happened to Yara and wondering what is about to happen to Cashmere. Smh...but deep down i believe everything is going to be ok just because of Savion. He loves him some Cash but trying to be tough. But he is about to come around full throttle. I pay its not to late!

The snakes are everywhere
The Townsend Brothers have snakes coming at them from all angles. Amaya playing both sides when they catch her. I'm still rooting for Quade and Yara. I hope Savion and Cash work it out.

Well it’s time to pay the piper!!!!!!
Ahmad is one sneaky sucker, if you’re so bad why hide in the shadows. I can’t wait for the brothers to get their hand on him and Amaya. Poor Cash done made a deal with the devil without even knowing. Let the games begin...

Good read
The book flowed great! However, the storyline is becoming a little too much. I love a good believable story. However the more I read things started to be a to much. That’s why I gave it four stars because it becoming a little soap operish.

Awesome!
Love the flow of the story from beginning to end. So much drama and action going on in this story. It's unbelievable the things people are doing that is very dangerous to one's well being and now the plot thickens. Great Read! ReneeG 👍

This was a good book. Lots of people died. It's crazy how in these books everyone automatically knows how to dispose of a body and no one ever gets caught. This book ends on a cliffhanger. Neither audible nor kindle has part 3!
