About this ebook

Accustomed to living the high life in Dallas, everything Jewellen Capwell knows about the hood comes from the movies. So when she agrees to accompany her best friend, Renee Nightingale, to a Southside ball game, her only concern is keeping her cool around the peeps. She's not there to ogle guys--until she spots Roman Montgomery. When it comes to men, Jewel's heard it all before, but Rome's working from a whole new script. . .

Renee loves to fall in love. Right now, she's set her sights on landing a rock from her current main squeeze, Gregory. But to ensure no one plays her, she's always got a game going on. So when temptation comes calling in the form of a fine young man with a chiseled physique, Renee can't resist--and why should she? What Gregory doesn't know can't hurt them--or so she thinks. . .

Ratings and reviews

The only problem I had with this book is that Romeo was always Jewel that her way of doing thingd were wrong. He never thought that he was wrong or needed to compromise. I find it hard to support authors who write about women who have to give up everything in order to have a good man.

Characters were relatable, many instances were all too real! A fun, engaging read.
