My First Time with an L.A. Savage
Diamond Evans isn't your typical twenty-three-year-old. At her young age, she has already graduated early from University of California at Los Angeles. Though she is considered grown in age, she isn’t viewed as an adult through the lens of her great auntie who has raised her ever since her mom neglected her. Due to her great auntie's strict rules and controlling ways, her favorite thing to do in her free time is volunteer at the homeless shelter. After all, it is the only thing she can do without her great aunt trying to dictate her life, which she does regardless. But what happens when Diamond Evans rebels by getting her first taste of freedom? She ends up at a club after being dared by her best friend, Maya. That particular night changes her life forever, in more ways than she could ever imagine.
While at Los Angeles most popular nightclub, she has an unpleasant encounter with Deaundre, who is well known in every hood and every prominent neighborhood throughout Los Angeles. Sure she has heard about plenty men of his caliber after residing in a city with significant gang history, but she has never been face-to-face with one up until now.
Deaundre is the man that all the women love to love, while all the men love to hate. All he ever cares about is his hustle, and anything other than the hustle gets no love from him. After all, his first and only love is his trap house that sits right in the heart of Crenshaw Boulevard. But after that wild night at the nightclub, does Deaundre potentially have room for a second love that the streets can’t give him?
It is not every day you see a hood couple that is forbidden. In the words of Deaundre, “suckas will plot but none will prosper.” Despite constant efforts from the streets, to outsiders and even family members trying to pull them apart, Diamond and Deaundre build an unshakable bond. Even something he loves more than anything which are the streets, couldn’t even pull the two apart. Once Diamond gets a taste of the dark side, will she ever be able to find the light again?

I’m mad at Diamond why would she change her whole life for that man her aunt was trying to teach her not to follow a man but her aunt should have not called the police on them and now look that girl about to go to jail i hope Dre can get her out of Thad situation. Poor maya that girl pearl is crazy she should have been left her alone i hope that her an ant make it. Can’t wait for part 2

Summary
This read wasnt exciting at all. Diamond seems to be a push over and stupid for Dre, how she okay with him leaving her in bed to go screw Asha, virgin or not she needs to dump him until he gets his mind right. Also is he 28 or 30? I like Maya and Ant though, I hope they dont gave no drama reading Dre and Diamond misfit characters is enough. Hope pt 2 better and is the finale.

Good Read
This was my first read by this author. It was a good read and keep me wondering what's happening next. I liked Diamond and Dre together. Diamond, was so sheltered by Aunt Betty and not in a good way. It's something about Aunt Betty besides the snitching she done. After that ending, I can't wait to see what happens next. Good job on your debut Kia M.

This was an okay read. There were a few distracting inconsistencies. The relationship between the aunt and niece was interesting. The characters were not exactly enjoyable, but they don't necessarily have to be for the read to be interesting. The story moved quickly and had the usual drama and betrayals thrown in the mix.

Good story
This was a good read. It had a interesting storyline. It was some inconsistency about the main characters age. The actions of the main female character moved a little too fast.
