I really liked the synopsis of this book and was really pleased with the price. I was really excited about purchasing it, but as I began reading it my opinion quickly changed. I am not sure where to start. The characters spoke as if they were characters out of a tragic ghettofied version of "Love and Hip Hop." I mean vulgar does not begin to describe the manner in which the women spoke. Sadly, I assume the writer felt these women of color should be portrayed as desperate for love and would accept an abusive criminal just to have a man.I often choose IR romance novels because I am looking for romance and want to see a couple that has all the odds stacked against them, yet they overcome the obstacles that would normally keep them apart. I will honestly say that I have not competed this book, nor do I plan to. I am not sure if this book was improperly categorized and should have been considered erotica and not romance or if this book an attempt for the writer to experiment with other genres. Regretfully this book is not what I anticipated and I do not recommend this book.
