In Treat Me Nice, Roy Glenn readers had the opportunity to learn how greed for money and power can start a war. In I Came to Bring the Pain, you get to see how true leadership and ultimate power can end one. Roy Glenn once again proved to his readers that the only real and dominant leader of this organization can and will be Mike Black.Mike Black has a lot to clean up but with effective delegation of his top soldiers, he's able to systematically break down enemy factions. One by one, they all came tumbling down including some loose ends from the last book. But there is one loose end still pending that most of his readers have questions about: Jada West. Jada is making sure she still has a hand to play, therefore she remains active but what Mike will do with her remains to be seen. If I were Ms. West I'd tread lightly because Mrs. Black has been tightening up on her sharpshooting skills and gets plenty of practice in this novel.We also had the chance to follow up with some stories that left us reeling in the last book- like what happened with Kirk and the bodies he dropped, but more importantly, what happened between Nick and April after the news she left him with at the end of Treat Me Nice. These two have a potential romance to savor and the introduction of Marvin Jr. into the mix, gives us a glimpse of the future of Mike Black's family. The youngsters will be taking over one day.I was extremely impressed with the delivery of this story. Once again a movie played in my head which is what I love most about this author's writing style. I could see how certain scenes were running parallel to each other. This writer would take me to a scene and smoothly brought me back to the other. Craftiness by Mr. Glenn. I also could feel the intensity of the love scenes. No doubt that Mike loves his Shy and when Jackie got her swerve on . . . it might not be my flavor but this writer impressed me.As the title suggests though, there were some moments when there wasn't no love shown. Business had to be handled and as a result we saw the pain brought to quite a few. Excellent action, excellent timing with each body drop. Excellent dialogue. Excellent work, Roy Glenn.  Once again, another winner.
