What to say...when I was asked if I would read this and give an honest review I said sure. I had just finished a book and couldn't pick what to start next (yes I am like many of you I have probably thousands of books on my TBR list) but I didn't have to decide since it was decided for me. It always makes things easier for me when I just finish a book and can't decide what to start next just to have an author ask me to review their book. I said sure and jumped right in.This is the very first book that I have read that has the majority of the cast characters African-American. I loved the urban feel to the story. It was something I could relate to as well as enjoy!I grew up in the "ghetto" of my town. The majority of the people who lived in my apartment complex were African-American. So when reading this I found myself laughing at so many different things. How real it felt, and how true to form she made these characters. There is so much to love about this book.It starts off by telling you about Rayna's homelife when she is in her senior year of school. We see how bad she just wants out of the projects. The author doesn't spend a lot of time with her there in the projects but I know I want her out so bad!She gets out and is bettering herself, goes to college and wants more than what she had back in the projects. Her best friend Michelle is the best thing for her. She is there for her and also does everything she can to help her in anyway possible.  She gets a job working with Michelle. Well not really 'with' her but more as an assistant out in California at the physical therapist's office Michelle works at.She meets Azmir, I actually love the moment of recognition! :) Things with them spark they both feel it and she is hesitant and totally understandable. He is the wealthy man who is very attractive and women throw themselves at him often. She is tired of games and men tellin lies.  We don't find out exactly who and what Azmir is all about till later in the book. We also get to watch him try to woo her.I have seen someone rate this story as Fifty meets Gideon with Thug Life mixed in.I have to agree. BUT if you are looking for the kinky sex, that is not in here, we do get sex, good sex but not the kinky bdsm kinda sex.The Christian and Gideon analogy for me would be more for the wealth, broken past, possessiveness, and dominating personality. I just wanted to clear that up before anyone jumps into this expecting something they may not feel they received when they finish.I loved this and maybe I liked it more than some because I could relate on different levels. Growing up in the 'ghetto' I had to keep a certain way about me to deal with the other females as well as the guys. I had to stand strong and not ever take crap from people. If you did just lay down and let people walk all over you, well you were done for. So I could connect with Rayna on that level.This story kept my attention and made me want more. I was left wanting to know what is going to happen and when the truth about everything would surface. I will be reading this entire series and looking forward to the next book to come out.I know some people will find the words she used for some body parts funny but well it wasn't so over the top that I had to put it down.  "pearl, love canal, strongman..." lol I have read worse words used.~favorites~"coochie creaming smile""I can smell you." Abrubptly, I rise from his lap preparing to withdraw. He tightened the grip on my hips... "Don't worry, it's not offensive. In fact, to the contrary, it's intoxicating...the bets sexual aroma I've ever experienced.""I can tell you're not in it for this s*** and I've always wanted a woman who I can...woo. You  make me want to woo you, Rayna.""I learned at a very young age to pick from the top of the tree of friends. Never pick at eye level or below you'll never grow that way.""I wasn't accustomed to friendliness from other females and therefore would always come across guarded just in case. Where I was from girls had ulterior motives for wanting to be friendly..."
