Prettyboy Thugs-4 stars---


Pretty boy Don Juan has just been released from doing a bid. Fresh out the gates he hooks up with his old friend Lex. Don Juan is trying to figure out how he will get back on top. Before going in he was the man. An unfortunate situation sent him away for 6 years.
Don Juan knew how to get his money one way. When he's released his friend Lex hips him to a new game. Don Juan just knew he was on the come up fast. The only problem with this is someone wants Don Juan to suffer. They don't want a happily ever after for Don Juan. Now Don Juan is in someone's cross-hairs. He will do whatever he can to protect his daughter. The only problem is finding out who is playing who.
I enjoyed reading the story. They mystery of the story kicks off about 50% in. At this time its you trying to find out who is really playing who. Then its why. There were a few errors in the book. Nothing major and it didn't take away from the story. I think the way it ended was rather abruptly. It made me question how Don Juan found out. Also, I was left wondering about Lex at the end. Overall, it was pretty good

Review for Monster by Ben Burgess Jr: I've read plenty of books about a woman scorned but this was my first book reading about a man scorned. Kenny Ferguson was always the nice guy. All he wanted to do was be in a relationship. He thought he had a solid relationship until it all blew up in his face. When his relationship didn't work out Ken became bitter. Ken did the only thing he knew how to do to protect his heart. He stop feeling. He was trying to avoid getting his heart broken again. He thought not committing to the women he would be okay. What he didn't realize is he wasn't healing and was causing more problems.

Ken goes through a lot trying to not deal with his pain. This was my first time reading something by Ben. I enjoyed it and will check out his other titles. I think this is one you should add to your reading list.

The last book I read was the Thug series by Wahida Clark. That whole series is so good, I recommend that book to anyone that's looking for a hardcore, thug love affair between some heavy hitters and and down ass chicks.

Review for The Agency by TP Miller and KR Bankston--Jordan Young and Wyatt Thompson work for different advertising firms. The rivalry is deeper than a friendly competition. Wyatt really hates Jordan. He blames Jordan for something that happened in the past. The feud between them is strong. This dislike leads to Wyatt doing things to try and bring Jordan down. While Wyatt is busy planning Jordan's demise an unexpected person enters Jordan's life making him think of changing.
Overall, I liked the storyline. The rivalry between Jordan and Wyatt was entertaining. I have to say there were minor errors throughout the book. Missing words from sentences and wrong words used in the sentences. Throughout the book whenever a character talked the author would state the character's name with the phrase-another time. EX. "Hmph, never happen," she angrily spoke aloud another time. The phase was used so much I did a search of how many time the word "another" was used. That was a bit annoying. Again, the storyline was decent. I like the feud between Wyatt and Jordan. It did seem like Chelsea is a love at first sight woman. Okay read to me. If reading the same phrase doesn't bother you then I would say read it.

Close to Home was the first time I've ever read anything by author Brian W. Smith, and I must say I was enthralled from page one. There's lots of action, a sympathy factor, and I'll be honest, that ending will definitely have you feeling some kind of way! I closed the Kindle, and really wanted to fight the author (hypothetically of course.) It's a novella, so it's not a long book; it's the perfect size for a lunch break, doctor's visit, or when you want a quick reading fix. The characters leap out of the book, with a gritty realness, and the storyline is so believable, I found myself looking up periodically to make sure I was still in my living room. The action starts immediately, and doesn't lull. And that ending? That ending will make you want to toss your Kindle out the nearest window.
DISCLAIMER: I will not reimburse you for any damage to either your Kindle or your window, because I warned you ahead of time.)
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes drama, action, and that overall roller coaster "I can't wait to see what happens next" feeling. I'm sure you will enjoy this book from beginning to end, as much as I did.


Will you choose happiness?



Too often we expect happiness to come as a result of our relationships rather than as a premise upon which to build one.  If we truly wanted to happy, we would not be so eager to sacrifice happiness for nonsense...Jealousy, possessiveness, fear, anger or any other function of the ego.  Nonsense renders us downright miserable.  Happiness requires that we be honest, trusting, respectful and mutually considerate.  We cannot realize true happiness when we entertain nonsense in our hears and minds.  Will you be open to whatever comes? Or are you blocking your happiness?
