Somethin' 'Bout His Thuggish Ways #1

Somethin' 'Bout His Thuggish Ways

Rate this book
Mero Perez is all things to all people. He’s handsome, confident, and unmistakably thuggish in every sense of the word. Mero Perez is in demand, but he’s very selective about who he lets in his world. For the ones he loves, he honors, protects, and will do any and everything necessary to make sure they live a life of royalty.

After fifteen years in the streets, he’s built a world that allows him to give all things to those he loves and to live without regrets. What else is there to do besides walk away and enjoy everything that he’s worked so hard to gain? If only it were that easy. It's proving to be more difficult than he assumed it would be.

Within the blink of an eye, his world begins crashing down around him. The wife that he’s loved for the past six years has secrets that will end them, while his family becomes a target of an unknown assailant. Everything that he believed true about his life is slowly changing, including the woman who now holds his interest.

Khaleel Perez has a reckless mouth and even more reckless behavior. Aside from the security of the life that he’s built alongside the only man he trusts, his cousin Mero, Khaleel puts very little importance on much else. He loves women, and they love him even more.

With his good looks and stacked accounts, he has an endless supply of them who won't deny him anything. Well, all except the one he refuses to give in to. Khaleel finds himself questioning his unfaithful ways for a woman who has very little interest in locking him down. That one fact about her makes him want her more, but between finding out who’s targeting his family and following through with plans to step down and leave the streets, along with his cousin, Mero, will he find time to change her mind, or does he even care?

Six Tillman’s life was forever changed when her ex did the unthinkable and caused her to lose something so dear to her that she knows she’ll never be able to forgive him. She packs up and moves south to rid herself of the pain he caused, and finds herself in Atlanta with the only family she knows and loves.

While staying with her cousin, Mauri, and Mauri’s two-year-old son, Micah, Six begins to piece her life together build her photography career so that she can stand on her own. Her first job puts her front and center with the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on, but she has to check her lustful feelings at the door. Six quickly learns that Mero Perez might be all things to all people, but to Six, he simply needs to be a paycheck. That seems to be more of a problem and challenge than she can handle or avoid when his life begins to change, leaving him with a new found interest in Six.

Mauri Livingston is doing the best she can to take care of herself and her son. With her son’s father in prison, she provides for them both by any means necessary, and that lands her front and center of a well-known strip club run by Khaleel Perez. Life is good until he steals her heart, and she lets him while vowing to keep him in the dark about her true feelings. She has to consider his free loving ways and put her heart and her son first. Will he prove to be worth her time, or will she keep her feelings for him under lock and key?

They say the best way to make God laugh is to tell him your plans. Well, that seems to be the case with this crew. It becomes evident also that the best way to test your will is to say no to a man who’s a thug at heart. Six and Mauri are learning that the hard way while Khaleel and Mero are trying to get a handle on things. What they thought was a guarantee turns out to be anything but, and the paths they are forced to take leads them down a road full of lies, deception, danger, and disloyalty. Add in the potential for new found love, and you have the perfect combination for a disastrous affair.

Ok Read

The characters are very likable and the chemistry was definitely there between the couples, but I found myself getting bored with this story. I hope that part 2 will be better.

WOW, WOW....

O.M.G I can't believe this... My heart is beating so fast, I don't even want to stop, write this review and get the 2n part. I just want to get it now, so let me make this quick.
Mero, wow what a man.... I want one just like that, same as Khaleel. They are both bae and I can't stop from smiling when it's any of there parts. Both are very protective, loyal, handsome, very well endowed and simply the perfect male specimen that one would want.
Marian's Six, shoot, you guys got yourself with some work and you better be ready to put in the hours, overtime and extra days...
Malee and Joey, could say too much as there aren't too much going on yet for you two.
Santana, yes, I just hope you and Kevin get more karma coming your way as well as Cortez and Cole...

Give Leel and Mauri their own book

This book was really good. The men are definitely alpha males that will do anything to protect what’s there’s. I feel the author could have given Leel and Mauri their own book. Show how they met at the strip club and what lead her there. Her history with her son’s father Cortez. There is so much to tell there. Honestly, I found myself being more into their characters than Six and Mero’s. But please give us more history on Mauri and Leel, they definitely deserve their own story.

Wow smh

Mannn look of Santana don’t go somewhere! She got what she wanted! Then realized she was wrong and want to be mad because he doesn’t want her trifling behind! Wench be gone! I can’t stand females like her! I can’t wait for Kevin to get his! I’m happy he found Six! Someone who accepts him for him! As for whose coming at them I have a theory about that! This book was the ish! I can’t wait for part 2 because ish just got real!

Love It

Love it. Kept my attention from the start. Really a good read. Like how you set up up all the characters lives and what's coming next. Just enough going on to lead up to the drama coming next. Left you wanting more. San needs to let go and Six needs to tell old boy about those bricks. That's going to be a problem. Love all three of the guys. Good job. Glad not having to wait too long for part 2. Please save the baby. Love your books

He about to step back In

Mero and Khaleel the truth. Leel done told him what was what with Mauri and Micah he wasn't playing. My heart broke for Mero and what he went through. I can't believe Sans played him like that. I don't think Six can handle that lost twice. I hope that she is ok. Joey and Lee are too cute. Cole, Kevin, Sans and Mauri baby daddy better fall back. I'm stuck on who is after them. It seems that they only coming after Lee.

Yeesss!

This is a great start. I love Mero and Six. I hope everything works out. Leel and Mauro are funny but I love them together. Joey and Lee and so cute. Cole needs to fall back along with her brother. Cortez, and Kevin need to get what's coming to them. Santana is an idiot. How you going to make someone pay for something you did. Girl, sit down. The 6the can't get here quick enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well once again KC Mills doesn’t disappoint. Boy when I say Santana was dumb🤦🏾‍♀️how did I know she was going to regret doing what she did🙄 I like Six and Mero together, I actually like all the couples together. Cole I can tell is going to end up dead. She’s annoying, Santana and Kevin need to get a life and go on about their business. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Fiyah, she did it again!!!!

Great book, loved it!!!! I hope Six and Mero are ok and she didn’t loose the baby, that’ll break her. Whoever is messing with Leel, Mero and Lee is gonna have hell to pay. I hope it’s not Cortez crazy self. San and Kevin together is trouble. Hopefully San gets her mind right cause Mero will get her. Can’t wait for part 2!!!!

So good

I couldn't put this book down. I can't wait to see how Mark shows his wrath I the folks who decided to bite up his sister's shop. Sans and her partner are going to end up dead. I got that Six and the baby are ok. Leel is to funny with his new bundle of joy. I hope Mauri stops stripping and get her another job! I can't wait til the next book drops!

Wow that ending

Didn't see that coming . Mero and six are good together I cant imagine him ever being with san.
Which by the way I hate it takes one woman to mess up a good man. Leel and mauri love their relationship both in denial about their feelings . Lee and joe seems happy I hope it stay that way.

Wow

Who is behind all of this man....... sheesh Mero is very smart and calculated so him having a PI following SANS was EPIC. She had that look on her face and all I could do was laugh. I hope they can stop SANS AND KEVIN before way to much damage is caused. I can't wait for part Two

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another banger by K.C. Mills! These other urban fiction authors need to take a writing class from her. She not only tells a great story but she keeps it hood and urban!! I guess Sans and Kevin are about to cause Six problems. I can’t understand why she just won’t give him his bricks back. I need a man like Mero!
