the drama in this book hits like a whirlwind—overwhelming in the best way possible! i was on the edge of my seat, feeling every twist and turn that had me turning pages like a madman as if i haven't read this series on numerous occasions!
We pick up with our trio—Carter, Zyir, and Monroe—who are living on the edge after faking their own deaths in Saudi Arabia to evade the feds. Meanwhile, the ladies step up in ways that are nothing short of spectacular. Breeze and Leena may not have the hood spirit as Miamor, but they’ve transformed into powerhouses, orchestrating a bold plan to bring their men back home. And you know Aries wasn't going to leave her girl! She swoops in to help Miamor like only she can, because family is everything, and they prove it when the stakes are sky-high.
Without giving too much away, let’s just say Carter's reckless decisions in Saudi come back to haunt him in the most explosive way—a haunting explosion of unresolved tension that erupts five years later. Look, I might not have taken it as far as Miamor did, but in this wild fiction, Yasmine got what was coming to her. Rule one: STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN!
And the plot thickens with Miamor’s unexpected relationship with Fly Boogie. What starts as a business partnership ignites something deeper on Fly's end and how could he resist her captivating charisma? But just wait until the shocking revelations about Fly’s true alliances come to light—WOW! This story is a rollercoaster of emotions, and I can’t get enough!
