A Secret Hood Love Affair
Princess
I’m Princess Taylor, daughter of a Kingpin. My father, Quincy, alongside his twin brother Quintin is known to the world as the leaders of the Taylor Cartel. Expensive cars, designer bags, shoes, and clothes, don’t excite me. That’s probably why I haven’t met a man yet who could hold my attention. Most think because I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth that I’m one of those prissy broads. But I’m far from it! I just so happen to run two of the most lucrative businesses, Daddy’s Girl, a Gentleman’s Club, and Taylor Made Constructions. Life is good, but it hasn’t always been sweet for me. I’m no different from the rest of the women in the world when it comes to these men and their games.
Pierre was my first everything, he was my first love, and my first heartbreak. Even though I lost at the game of love, I still won a prize, and her name is Harmony Taylor. That’s right, the first time I had sex at the tender age of fourteen, I got pregnant. I know it sounds bad, but it is what is. I made a vow to myself to never fall in love again until I met a man that could live up to my father’s standards…
JA
I got the typical hood story. Grew up with a single mom. My pops died in a shootout when I was young. Word is, he was the toughest man alive and the right-hand man to the Taylor Twins. After my pops were long and gone, the twins looked out for us, they practically raised me and they are the reason I’m a young, ruthless, and rich now. Growing up protecting my OG and little sister Skylar, you’d think I’d be better with women, but the truth is told, it’s the opposite. I’m emotionless and simply unlovable, or so I thought…
In this Urban Fiction Romance, you’ll take a ride with Princess and JA through the world of love, heartbreak, and broken promises.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m never disappointed when I read anything from Patrice Balark. I like JA and Princess together and Harmony is such a little lady. I hope that Princess get over whatever she got going on. I mean they both lied to each other so I don’t really feel like she should be that mad. Now I can’t wait to see what happens next. That ending had my mouth wide open.

Smokin'
This storyline was so hot that I almost burned my fingers from flipping the pages. Patrice, you did the darn thing with this one. I can't wait to see what part 2 will bring to the table. Ja is on my list and so is Princess. They both need to get it together. I loved every page, but I have one question for the author, did you have to leave me hanging like that?

Halftime Really!!!!!! This book definitely held my interest. I hope Princess and Ja get it together. They both were keeping secrets and the love they have for each other is much stronger. Ja was so wrong for having that gurl with him. I wish Princess would've 2pcd her. Harmony is such a great gurl. Courtney is my gurl and she's rocking with Princess no matter what. That ending shouldn't happened Ja and Princess velong together. I can't wait for pt.2 i need my answers answered

Excellent!!!
This is the second time I read one of Patrice’s book and she has fan. I almost didn’t read this book & I surely would have regretted it. She didn’t write above misery, sickness & over kill with drama. I had to let a few authors go because of the way changed their style. I’ve already downloaded part 2 and can’t wait to start it. I really hope she continues to write these type of stories. You will not be disappointed!!!

Omg I cant wait for part 2. I cant believe Ja I am made at him dang he hadn't been broke up that long with Princess to be with someone else. Princess is wrong how she mad at him when both of them was telling lies. smh now I wonder what dead Pierre got going on I bet her dad ran him off when they was kids.

Princess And Ja
Shit just got real. I know Is was hurt when Princess told him that she didn't want anything to do with him but damn two weeks and he already had another woman on his arm. My heart broke for her. But the kicker is the dead has arisen. Where has Pierre been for the past ten years. This was a great book and I can't wait to dive into part two.💟💟

Rose from the dead
Omg I can’t believe JA and Princess acting like little kids instead of working through their problems when she’s in the wrong as well as he is. Hopefully they will get it together and with Pierre popping up outta the woodwork

This book was an overall great read. To say it's a small world is an understatement. I hope Princess and JA can work things out. I wonder what is going to happen with Pierre back in the picture

Wow!
Part 2 please!! This is a page turning thriller. Patrice Balark, you did it girl. The storyline flows well, and I love Princess and Ja's story. Little Harmony has got to be the smartest little girl I've heard about in a while. This is a five star banger.

Wait a WHOLE minute!
Princess & JA were both dead wrong. I definitely could beat JA's butt for that stunt he pulled at the end. But where has "The Ghost" been for the past 10 years. Lawd I can't wait until tomorrow to continue this saga!

I love this book!!
Whew! Welp Ja and Princess might have trouble on their hands with this Teyana chic she seem off. I believe she has something to do with Ja getting shot, I just hope that Pierre can let go and move on with his life and just be there for Harmony.

This was a good book. I really like Princess with her stubborn self with Ja. Harmony is the most precocious little 10 year old. This book will have you guessing who is doing what. I can't wait for part 2

Secrets and Lies
Some things were just destined to be. Princess and Ja definitely have something’s to work out. Maybe it’s just hormones but I expected just a lil more from Princess. One lie is no better than the other.
