4.0

Catlin does not expect much. Within her short amount of time on this earth, her life is surrounded with non-stop tragedy. Toughened up from living on the streets and panhandling just to squeak by, she never imagined how one little meeting could change everything. 
 
Logan has it all figured out. A graduate from two highly prestigious universities and son to a Kansas City Star mogul, he has his future all planned out. Well, he thought he did. Apparently, a single story can change one’s trajectory… who knew?
 
D.L. Howe expresses how love can conquer all in Prospects. Based on an ever-knowing storyline where two people from different sides of the tracks come together in an epic romance, D.L. turns her tale into something unlike any other. Through knowledge of her hometown mixed with an understanding of a sport some have never heard of, D.L. articulates an emotional story complete with passion, ambition, friendship, and incredible correlations. 
 
In addition, she reveals an admiration and dedication to her trade with a limited amount of spelling and grammatical errors. Yet, this is not a novel for the faint of heart. Explicit sexual content, which does not leave much to the imagination, along with a vast array of vulgar and profane language leads to a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
 
Please take caution if any of the following may cause you distress: homelessness, shoplifting, loitering and solicitation, alcohol and drug consumption, domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, robbery, murder, gun and knife violence, job termination, school dropout, prostitution, attempted rape (with minor), self-defense, bloody body, foster care, panhandling, in vitro, deceit, and betrayal.
 
The first of the Tattoo Trilogy, Prospects invites readers into a domain of fierce loyalty, unrelenting triumph, and ultimately compassion.  
 
Thank you to #Prospects, #TattooTrilogy, and #DLHowe for the opportunity to read this book and give my honest review.
