Review for Married To The Community D by: Mz. Biggs

The title of this urban fiction definitely implies that somebody ain't right. What you would assume would be a simple story of a man just spreading it thin is far from what this joy ride actually becomes. You jump head first into a drama that will have your jaw on the floor and you clutching your pearls.

Character Breakdown

Nova- He fine and he knows it, with the swag to match. He has all the ladies thinking he is God's gift to women when he is just a f*ck boi with good D. He thinks himself important but his secrets are going to be what knocks him down a few notches

Patience- Self-Aware, successful, no non-sense and beautiful. Her only flaw is realizing she married a f*ck boi to late. She tried to be patient with her husband but when she sees he is for everybody she just finally breaks.

Story From My Perspective

Nova is a modern day Cassanova. His days are full of busting down weak women and forgetting that he actually took vows with someone. You can tell that he has control issues. Typically control is used for a purpose but he is just someone who loves the power trip. From his interactions with his slides you will see, that he has no respect, fears no backlash and is comfortable taking his pleasure even it it causes them displeasure. Its sick to see, how he breaks them down mentally to keep them in-line. The only thing is his wife ain't with the shits. He knows what goes on for the women on the side don't fly with his wife and that leaves him not knowing how to get her in line.

Patience gave her husband the benefit of the doubt. She knows by his actions that he has to be into somethings she won't like. She never went looking for his indescretions but when they walk up on her in the grocery store. She can no longer ignore that her husband is really "The Community D". This sets her on a path to show him better than she can tell him. When a woman's fed up nothing you do or say will move her heart

When shit hits the fan and Parience decides Nova is no longer welcome in her world. Nova can't accept that she would just walk away. When he tries to strong arm his wife into staying with him he finds out that she is six types of crazy and he got her twelve ways to fucked up.

My reaction to this awesome read was "Lawd Today". I mean from the beginning I was shocked at how disgusting Nova was as a husband and all I could think was throw the whole dude away. He earned my instant hate and that has only ever happened a few times before in my life as a reader. The thing that struck me was the deeper issue of how some men just can't help themselves because sex is over sensationalized it has really become an addiction. Patience for me gets my highest honor because she just was not here for it. She didn't allow her face to be played in and there was no extreme she didn't go through to make sure He understood she would not take or accept anything he was giving her laying down. Watching their drama left me with the questions Will he break her down? Will she continue to stand her ground? What secrets will come out next?

Review of Married To the Streets And You by: KB Cole

You walk into a world where nothing is as it seems. Its funny how life intersects and you have no idea what will come once all paths cross. What you think you knew, has no place when these truths start getting revealed.

Character Breakdown

Terray- He has always been known as the dedicated church boy. He is a husband "Allegedly" to Anais and he was always known for routine. His life was bland until he was introduced to a life of crime during his tenure as prison warden. To go from in the shadows to now being the man on top. Has caused a power trip that makes him feel invincible. When he starts trying to step on toes of men who really do this. The question remains will he be able to stand once that pressure hits his chest.

Anais- She is a wife, Loving Daughter, Doctor and dedicated to the life placed before her. Afraid to face that her marriage is in trouble because she was raised to believe that marriage was forever. She is docile with a immer strength she didn't know was in her until she has to face some hard truths about the reality she calls life.

Cyren- You can just call him "Daddy". His swag is befittitting a young, self-made rich savage. He is Loyal to those closest to his heart. He is a husband who doesn't allow himself to get caught up in the hoes who fall in love with the fame. He has a high set of principals that he adheres to. But with his life, comes many problems. After almost losing his life he will come to know just who is rocking and who is against him.

Laniece- She is the wife to Cyren a man who owns these streets. Loving him should be easy but the saying "if you want a man to provide for you, expect to have a busy man" is a reality that has become hard to accept. It is in that point she finds herself unfulfilled in a life that is glamorous on the outside but leaves her empty and looking for whats missing.

Story from my perspective

Terray no matter how you slice him is a bastard seed devil spawn. He is a selfish man who is good at hiding his evil. You feel for a beautiful flower like Anais because you know that such poison can only wilt her petals. You can see how he manipulates those around him. He has everyone believing he is the big man on campus. One thing about a fraud, their hands will eventually be shown.

Anais can feel the change in her husband but she does not see what he is, until it literally slaps her in the face. Once she knows she can't unknow. When she takes a stand for her rights she actually ends up losing more than she bargained for. She is then left to ask was it all really worth it in the end.

Cyren is good at eliminating threats. When he has a chance meeting with the beautiful Anais that results in his life being saved. He is grateful for the angelic stranger. That is until he realizes that she is the wife of his newest threat(one he doesn't take seriously nut a threat is a threat none the less) and he has to figure out if this is coincidence or just an unfortunate play by fate.

Laniece has more than any girl could ask for and it is still not enough. She doesn't know how to make her husband see that this life is nothing without a man to truly share it with. It is that thinking that takes her from standing ten toes down to becoming the type of problem she never thought she would be.

The emotions in this book were raw and uncut. The same breath I laughed with, in the next moment had me boohooing like a baby. This author wrote a story that really hit home on a lot of issues like sleeping with the enemy or being ungrateful for the small blessings until it is to late. I related with these characters and actually took a moment after the book ended to contemplate my life and my journey to myself and that to me is what a good book does. It makes you look deeper at the message and relate it to yourself. If you are interested in how these folks and their lives cross paths on an adventure to truth like none other before click the link below and rememver to comeback so that we can discuss:

Review of The Real Mistress of Atlanta By Yatta Rose

This Urban Fiction is right out the gate shenanigans. The name implies messiness and chile it gets filthy. All in a days work of Lyric Township as she causes heads to roll and wives to gag.

Character Breakdown

Lyric- She is more than your husbands best kept secret. She is a complex woman whose love is fluent. She is a hustler and her assets are her best selling point. She is daring and unashamed and does not cower when folks are whispering behind her back. Holding her head high she owns who she is and offers no apologies.

Story from my perspective

You enter the world of Lyric Township and on the surface you see a whore who has made a comfortable living by becoming the willing side chick to married men. It was so easy intially to be judgemental because no one can ever sympathize with a homewrecker. I won't lie I was judging the main character before I even delved deeper between the lines. When I read along a little more I was shocked by the emotions I truly felt.

What I saw was a young girl lost. A women who had been objectified for her beauty but judged for capitalizing off of it. I saw someone just wanting to be loved and not trusting that someone will look over her past.

She had a lot of deep seated issues. Issues that caused her to be estranged from her family, befriend a secret hater but even more than that when she finally gives love a try it causes her more pain than anything she ever experienced before. The way she used her body as a means to feel close to that elusive thing called love. Was indicative of a cry out for help, that will have you trying to just hug her through the pages.

This author gave a perfect story centered around this one character. It was the first time I read a book where only one person was involved in every aspect of the book. It made me relate to Lyric on an intimate level. Made me feel like every high and low was personal. You can find out what happens to a woman who sought love in all the wrong places, until it finds her and turns her world upside down when you click the link below:

Review of Key To The Streets: Kallie & Kahli Hustle Affair By: Alicia Howard

Meet a young man thrown into a life that he only glimpsed growing up. But, When his uncle is murdered it left him with giant shoes to fill and streets to supply.

Charcter Breakdown

Kahli (Pronounced Kah-lil it's a St.Louis thing)- Young and intelligent and is the new "Key to the streets". He was prepped for this life but never thought the day would come so soon he would have to step into the role. He is business minded with a lotta bit of savage. He has a legacy to continue and with a team like his he can't fail because the streets are depending on him.

Kallie- She is fiesty and unapologetic blame it on her Afro-Boriqua roots. Born to parents who rode hard in the streets but also lost their lives to them. She was sheltered because he Mema didn't want the streets to take her too. She is all grown up now and trying to find her way in a life that could swallow her whole.

Story from my perspective

My first thought when I started reading was, damn we gone come right out the gate with the goofy ish. But it was the appropriate set up for the title. Kahli had to grow up in a moment after watching his only support syatem draw his last breath. Not before giving him something that would undoubtedly change his life.

He was once a spectator but now he is the prime time special. He doesn't know what to do anymore. His Uncle was his everything and now that he is gone what will become of his broken heart? He feels a bit lost and he has his doubts but with a right hand man like J-Wild backing him no questions asked he feels ready to take on the world. In order to get things shaking he must head to New York to prepare for an epic takeover.

In New York Kallie is not here for anybody's BS. Overworked, underpaid and missing her Mema. Kallie has to make some real life decisions. When the opportunity arises for her take on the life that her parents once lived. She finds out her inner savage was just underneath the surface and she finds it an "honor" to be in this position.

What happens when two young savages meet one another and love comes into play? The better question is will they be able to navigate a world full of snakes, a past comeback to present and secrets, secrets and more secrets. Find out by clicking the link below and grabbing your copy.


Sidebar: I felt that this Author wrote from such a gutter standpoint. I can honestly tell you I got mad at points because I never knew what angle she was gonna come from. That is so not common now and days where most literature have the same scenarios. I can honestly say I was shocked and she should still #ReviveMyBae lol.

Review for Can't Live Without Your Love by Coffee Jones

Welcome to a group called "The Nation" an interconnected family of organized crime lead by King. The young leader who rules with an iron fist and a loyalty to tradition. He embodies "For the Nation, we ride, For The Nation we'd die" and he expects nothing less of his soldiers.

Character Breakdown

King- A gifted mind although he comes of a bit frigid. That is to be expected when you were left with some big shoes to fill. His Adoptive father Domo raised him to be his protegé. He runs a conglomerate that sells everything from women to drugs. None of that trumps his responsibilities as a father, big brother and protector. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders and he will need the strength of a good woman to be his "Queen".

Kira- Sister to King, she is young and a widow to early. She is having trouble with accepting her role as a "Forever Wife", she must be loyal to her husband even in death. Her loneliness is getting the best of her and forces her to make some decisions that "The Nation" would not approve of. How can she keep a promise to her late husband when her lower self just wants love and affection in this cold world

Keao- He is the adoptive brother of King and Kira as well as Second in command of "The Nation". He has had a hard life that has made him a humble man. He is affected by a love he thought long gone but may actually be his forever more.

Mija- She is the illegitimate child of "The Nation" once biggest Ally turned enemy.  She meets King and can't help but bow to his royalty. She has had a life full of strife but she vows to make her enemies pay for all of the turmoil she suffered. Even if they are "Familia".

Luri- Rescued from the streets and adopted into a well to do family. She has had so many opportunities afforded her. Even with all of her accomplishments she could never forget her first protector. A lil boy who gave her love and loyalty befor she even knew what they meant. When the opportunity arises for her to met the man the boy has become, she is faced with some decisions.


Story from my perspective

When you first open the book you are immediately immersed in a life of a system that is ever moving. Decisions are being made, plans being executed and a family protected. All in the days work of one man, King. He runs many businessess both legal/illegal. He has to be the best type of gentleman for his consumers and the worst type of goon when he protects his empire.

He doesn't do it alone his adoptive brother Keao is his second mind. He makes sure all of his directives are met with excellence and he is on time for any and everything. They both strive to see "The Nation" grow and exceed its former glory that was lost in the last war. Together they begin promoting and recruiting to usher in a new era of "lines" to secure this great empire.

Kira the beloved sister to King and Keao is at her wits end. She tries to "Play the role" that "The Nation" has laid before her but it becomes a heavy burden to bare. Although her life is full with raising her nephew Micah he is still no substitute for the loneliness in her heart. She makes a decision that forces Kings hand. As a leader of a family whose "Traditions" are set in stone she has to fave punisment for her actions or be "prayed out". She accepts her punishment but will she be able to reconcile the life she dedicated herself too with the life she is building in exile.

Mija, once deprived of a family has gained one but at such a great cost and a little to late for it to matter to her heart. She was forced to rule beside a brother with a secret vendetta against "The Nation". That doesn't work for her because she would be the perfect "Reina"(Queen) to her "Rey" King. So she has to decide how far she will go for a family built on lies or will she risk it all for love.

So much happens in between the storylines and you find yourself understanding the principles "The Nation" has set forth. The empathy I felt for some characters was unmatched in any story I read prior. Will love prevail? Who will win the war? Does forgiveness ever truly matter? You will find yourself angry at times and happy just the same but its all between the words of this great book you can download below. Dont forget to grab your copy and comeback so we can discuss what you read.

Review of A Carter Family Saga: The Reign of Her Goon: Amayiah & Rashawn by Tamika "Meechie" Wilkins

This story is an urban fiction/street lit. You step into the arena with the Carter family. A group of siblings and cousins who have now taken over the reigns of a family empire that they are making their own. There is money, murder and mayhem oh my.
Character Breakdown

Amayiah- She is the babygirl of the family. Their most loved and prized possesion. She runs their legal businesses and has the role of mother and wife down to a science. She is non-confrontational and the one the famil tries to shield from all of the ugliness in the illegal things the family does although she is part of the business by birthright. She has secrets that only her and her husband share

Rashawn- He is not a carter by blood but by loyalty. He was adopted into the family in his youth and met the love of his life. He is the plug and is the brains and the means behind their succesful drug faction. He is a doting father as well as a well rounded husband. He is a fierce protector of his "My baby". He is a young savage whose heart beats for his family.

Goon- She is the problem solver. When shit gets hard you can call her the equalizer. She is the manifestation of a bad night that sets her on a warpath. She is also the Carters secret weapon although the family doesn't know her true identity

Story from my perspective

You meet Amayiah and Rashawn and you automatically think "Goals". She is the beauty to his beast. He is savage as fuck and all he wants is to keep his family safe and secure the bag. From the beginning you can tell that Rashawn is his wifes protector and he promised her years before that he would never leave her out in the world alone and he has kept that promise with a fierce determination.

Amayiah has been through some things not even her family knows but her husband is her best friend and they share no secrets. After experiencing a trajedy at a young age. It makes life seem just a little to hard to live. It makes her a shell of her former self and her dreams change with its harsh reality. She relives the night again and again and when it just wont stop. She collapses into herself whenever life gets to hard. Through her husband she remains grounded. He is her anchor. When it gets dark for her he is her light even though the darkness somethimes becomes all consuming.

When, the family is faced with a threat they enlist the help of Goon to start the process of eliminating their enemies. The family does not know who "Goon" is they are onlt connected through a third party. They impressed with Goons work and want to bring them on permanently to handle all their dirty work. This makes Rashawn nervous because he is the only one who knows Goons identity and knows that that type of revelation will break the family and cause chaos and expose the one person in the world to scrutiny and judgement and he promised to protect them. Even if it puts his loyalty in question with the Fam.

Goon is the sadistic thing nightmares are made of. She has no loyalty to anything but her cause and that is seeking revenge for a young girl whose innocence was taken. Each job she takes is like retribution. Her victims are all "Takers" and that just won't work for her. Her name rings bells in these streets because her torture methods are efficent and she gets sick satisfaction out watching her victims squirm. She also can find anybody the only thing is Rashawn won't let her be great. She tries make him understand that Amayiah is his only concern and no matter how much he tries to show her cares she needs him to understand she is loyal only to herself and her only goal in life is to make these men "Pay" so fuck love and feelings.

Rashawn finds himself caught between two worlds. He knows if the fam were to find out he would never be forgiven. But whats a man to do when he loves two women that are both the best parts of him?


This book has so many twists and turns and you are probably think this mam on some good bullshit. I can tell you honestly you will have to read it to  understand this triad. I enjoyed how this new author came out the gate swinging. The Carter Family is full of secrets and when revelations come to light will they be able to stand tall or will they falter. You can find out by clicking the link below and be sure to catch up and comeback so we can discuss it:

Book Review For: For Better or For Worse by D.T. Williams

This book was a contemporary romance that took you on a journey of Life, Love and Marriage. Even more than that the real life obstacles that such an institution faces. There is lies, deceit, infidelity as well as reconciliation.

Character Breakdown
Natalia "Lucy"- She was a character that I loved to hate. She was raised by a single elitist father. Which makes her self-centered, self-absorbed, selfish but she loves hard althouh her upbringing made her view life and others from a pedastal. She is married to Grant and has no bend and can only see life how she wants. But there is no doubt she loves her husband.

Grant- Raised to get it out the mud. All he had was a dollar and a dream and when he met Lucy he met the one that pushed him to want to do better. He knows from her upbringing that he has to rise to the occasion and he does. All he wants is a wife who loves and supports him and wants to raise a family. But once married he realizes that he may have bitten off more that he can chew.

Story from my perspective
I followed this couple on a journey that began innocent. Almost from the beginning I could tell that there would be some issues. They come from two different backgrounds and that usually doesn't work when your raised in separate social classes. I admired their love prevailing overall. I noticed how she acted like a pampered princess but he had enough swag to make her gather herself. Even with her sneak dissing him about not having much money he still remained patient with her and loved her through her flaws. They move to new york so she can finish college and he can take advantage of a job opportunity.

Fast forward to their marriage they are still young and in love. He found a great paying job as a welder and after climbing the ladder he gave her his last name. He purchased them their first home and all is right in the world. She is finished with college and has climbed the ladder to Assistant Editor at a prestigious magazine. She has hopes and dreams of a bright career and wants nothing to stand in her way. That is until he asks her to start a family of their own. This is the first major breakdown in their marriage. Lucy feels as though having a child will keep her from her dreams. This is a low blow for grant who does not have any family of his own. After discussing both of their fears in-depth she decides to have his child(but she does so begrudgingly)

Now, they have a family and all should be right in the world but when it rains it pours. Grant has decided to enter the corporate aspect of his profession as being a hands on welder kept him away from home for days and weeks at a time. To show his commitment to raising a family as well as his marriage he chooses an office position. Lucy on the other hand has not stopped climbing the ladder and nothing will stand in her way of success. She is forgetting her duties as a mother, a wife and helpmeet. Long nights and early days drive a wedge between her and Grant. He begs and pleads her to come home more, spend time with their son and just be his wife. She cannot be bothered only way to go is up. This leaves Grant with an empty bed and empty heart. What is a man to do when the woman he loves can't see that family is more important than any career goals? Whats a woman to do when she just wants to be free to live her life the way she sees fit?

Now Houston we have a problem!!! Grant has become tired of begging for the love and attention of his wife. He starts to feel as though she will never view life as he does. He is at his wits end and doesn't know how to change it around. Here enters Alexia, she is the bosses assistant that has been assigned to him to help with a project. They bond over work and similar interest. She becomes the breath of fresh air that he didn't know was missing. On a big night for him his wife cancels because of work and this becomes the proverbial straw. But Alexia showed up and at that moment he starts to see her through different eyes. This night changes things and he begins a passionate tryst that has him questioning himself but, at the same time coming back to indulge in something that feels to right to be wrong. To finally have someone to support him and give him the affection he deserves. But Lucy no matter how busy can see her husband slipping away because after neglecting him fo so long she decides that now she wants to finally be all that her husband desires. She notices the late nights and long days he spends away and decides to remind him why they fell in love.

False starts, is the best way I describe it. After confronting grant on his behavior and finally showing him she is willing to make it work. Grant who no matter what his extra curricular activities are at the bottom line he still loves his wife and he is commited to working on their marriage.  But what they didn't expect was for this new journey they are on to be ripped apart by the things that were done in the dark coming to the light.

This story was one that really struck home for me. There were a lot of ugly truths to be faced. Marriage is hard work and this Author will definitely touch many lives with this profound story.
