Synopsis

Tionna’s on-and-off addicted mother has always taught her to get hers by any means necessary. Tionna’s heart is cold, but she holds a warm place in it for Duhan, the father of her two sons and her on-again-off-again boyfriend since they were teenagers. Duhan becomes her knight in shining armor until the government turns their dream into a nightmare. With Duhan behind bars and everything she loves seized, she finds herself starting over in the same neighborhood that she swore she’d never return to. With two kids, a man in prison, and no back-up plan, Tionna is once again living by her wits in order to maintain the lifestyle she’s become so accustomed to. Back in the thick of things with her best friends Gucci, Boots, and Tracy, she finds herself rediscovering her old life and suddenly begins to wonder if she’s really cut out to be a prisoner’s wife.

Goodreads review by Eva-Marie on December 04, 2013

THE BEST URBAN-FIC I'VE READ IN A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME. This can stand up next to The Coldest Winter Ever and I do NOT say that often, if ever. K'wan totally proved himself as a power-player with this one. I'm going to a K.D. Harris signing this week and I'm buying every single one of K'wan's books......more

Goodreads review by Classy on December 03, 2019

3.5 rating. This was a book club read. K'wan's writing has definitely improved from Book 1 and 2 of this series. I look forward to reading Animal. I marked my rating down to 3.5 (probably should go lower) because of a very graphic rape scene. I felt the word choices made during this scene made it ev......more
