In Love With A Chi-Town Stepper: An Urban Romance Story
The streets always say it is better to have loyalty than to have love, but at what cost? Twenty-eight-year-old Riley O’Neal Dickerson found out the hard way that being loyal to a man — who doesn’t love you— was a waste of ten years of her life. Trying to find herself and never knowing what a real connection is to a man, she is blindsided when she runs into Israel Carson. At first glance, you would never know that Israel Carson’s name carries a lot of weight behind it in the streets. Israel isn’t the type of man that believes in love and relationships. His primary focus is his business, his money, and his loyalty to those close to him. Once he meets Riley, his attraction to her isn’t like anything he’s ever felt before. However, can he get over his issues enough to let her into his life? He has goals to be a hood millionaire, and she’s looking to capture his heart. In the cold streets of Chicago, you can be in love one minute and dead the next. In this new hood love drama, In Love With A Chi-Town Stepper, Yasauni takes you on an unforgettable journey of love, crime, baby mama drama and makes it clear that a Chi-Town stepper is really a gangster.

I need more of this good read. It has a!l the makings of a fire series. There are so many secrets, so many lies, and a great cliffhanger. With crazy, likeable characters and so much more.

Loyalty Can Cost You Your Life!
Great Job Yasauni, that cliffhanger baby listen. For Riley to have so much love and loyalty to some that really didn't care for her at all then for her to finally break free and to learn who she really was because she was young and gave herself to a man that turned out to be not worth her time. By the time she finally gave up she runs from one situation to.the next thinking she was better but was she really?
Iss never trusted anyone outside of his circle and meeting Riley had his whole world turned upside down, off his square and ready to take anyone out. Honey has someone looking for her and its put the crew in danger.
Ziyah in my opinion is the snake. I don't think.it's a coincidence that all the things that's happened are since Riley has been around it seems like she is a woman scorned.
Great Read thanks

Hot Read!!!
Wow that ending was a shocker I definitely didn’t see that coming. Riley is a little naive but her loyalty is unmatched especially to people who don’t show her the same. Israel is an a$$hole but I love him he is definitely not all there in the head and has some serious trust issues. Ziyah is a snake I truly believe that she is hiding something especially after not showing up at the hospital to support the man that she is supposedly in love with. I knew we had not seen the last of that damn Curtis after Riley divorced him and moved on with her life. I can’t wait for part 2 to drop the suspense is killing me!!!

Iss is something serious. He has no filter. I like how he was able to rise up in the streets and look out for his people. Ziyah loves him to death. I know they got some kind of understanding, but he treats her too foul. She was supposed to been done snapped. Riley is crazy for dealing with Curtis’ crap for 10 years. I’m glad she finally left him. I like her and Iss together. I hope he is ok and they work things out. Trig is the man. I love him too. I need Honey to figure all of this Black Rose crap out. I need part 2 ASAP!!!

Zi yah is the person behind this ain’t no other person! She is working with curtis because that’s how she knew to come to Riley before they left!

I get the fact that her and Israel are married but setting the people up that you suppose to have their back! Then doing this to honey for what? Part two me please

Book two me now please
What in the world is going on here? This is one book I most definitely should have waited to read. With everything going on I really don't want to wait to find out what's going to happen next. You don't know who you can and can't trust. People you thought would have you back actually have there evil intentions and motives. I just hope these evil intentions and motives are meant for Riley she has been through enough at such a young age. Other than her character everybody else in this book is suspects to me.

Amazing Read
I don't know why but I feel like Ziyah got a lot to do with things going crazy. I like Riley and I hope she get somewhere safe cause I don't believe Iss is dead. I think he throwing the blame the wrong way tho. I hate his reaction to Riley's possible pregnancy. She should have thought about that before he shot up her club. Ion know what's going on with Honey but I hope she get her head in the game and figure it out.💌💌

Riley was truly a better woman than me because I would have been put Curtis in a home and moved on...his behavior was terrible towards her...Ziyah just was doing too much so the wife outburst made sense...Honey was too quiet for me so me trust to her is a little shaky...Isreal was definitely a rude bastard but I get his trust issues...just bring Isreal back so they can kill Ziyah or Honey behind their antics

In love with a stepper
Thus book was so good and crazy at the same time. I was so happy for Riley and Israel. Until the end of the book then I wad lost and mad . How the he’ll he married to Ziyah but say he only sleep with her then say Riley the one . I can’t wait for part two so I can get the back story because I have so many questions. Why did everyone get arrested at the end and did Ziyah have any thing to do with what happened. And how did Curtis get out the group home

Phew
From the beginning I just knew this would be drama filled! I didn’t see it coming with all these connections! The secrets definitely have me hooked! I hope Riley gets her happy ending seems like she was dealt a bad hand from the beginning. I’m curious to know who was able to get at Israel there’s a few people I have in mind! I also can’t wait to see what happens with Honey she definitely seems like she doesn’t know who it is! Can’t wait fir Part 2!

Meh
I couldn't really get into this book. It felt like the storylines were all over the place and I had more questions than answers. I also couldn't relate to any of the characters. Israel was this nice guy who was falling in love on one hand, but then it's like he was a completely different person the way he treated Ziyah and how he was in the streets. I'm not saying that a person can't act differently, but it wasn't well written in this book.

Riley have to get herself out of a sticky situation. Her heart is pure but the evil is all around her. Honey has secrets and i pray its not too late for her or Trig. Was Ziyah telling the truth or she was just bitter cuz she was tossed like a bad habit. Was Ziyah behind the madness. Curtis needs to be dealt with asap

But why?
I guess I am kinda confused. I mean the plot was pretty good, I love surprises and definitely git a couple. But it seems unrealistic for a person to be so in love only after meeting eachother a couple times! Like I know they say love at first sight but it just seemed like a stretch. The ending had me confused as well, but I need book 2 to understand I guess

Israel really needs to get it together. Why in the hell would Riley do that? Like he is delusional and I really think it his "wife" that's doing all of this. I'm so pissed at him right now. Whew chile my BP is all the way up. Great job

Good Read
This was a good read from beginning to end. It was full of drama with twist and turns, that kept me wondering what's happening next. After that bombshell before the ending, I can't wait to see what happens next. Good job Yasauni.

I believe Ziyah is doing all of this. Israel I’m not really feeling him. I hope Riley find someone else. Honey should of been told Trig what was going on. Israel should of made sure Curtis was gone before he left?
