One of Library Journal's Best Books of 2015
"Holmes...is a noted pioneering street lit author. His smooth-flowing
narrative mixes crime, sex, and sassy street language, giving his
protagonists a true life-in-the-streets feel. This will more than
satisfy serious readers of urban fiction."
--Library Journal (Starred Review, Pick of the Month)
"I read this book in one sitting....It's a great way to escape and be
entertained for a few hours."
--Baltimore Times
"Pure entertainment."
--Hawt Reads
Dixyn Greene has it all. She is a hustler's wife, the mother of a
beautiful daughter, and she owns a town house and a nice car--she's
living the life. But when the feds arrest her man, Dixyn's whole world
begins to crumble. Quickly things go from bad to worse--as the bills
begin to mount, her ability to continue to maintain her lavish lifestyle
is put to the test. Strapped for cash, her good intentions lead to bad
decisions.
Enter Brian Winters, B-Dub, and her one saving grace, or so she
initially believes. In Dixyn's time of need, B-Dub turns out to be no
more than an opportunist with his own agenda. Dixyn becomes indebted to
him and is forced to do his bidding in order to survive. With B-Dub on
her back, she submerges herself into the murky waters of street life and
is soon entangled in a web of lust, betrayal, blackmail, and deceit. She
ultimately discovers that there are no rules in the game. In the game,
loyalty is limited. Trust will get you hurt and love will get you
killed.
