She Got It Bad for a Heartless Gangsta

By: Shvonne Latrice

Narrated by: Ace Bentley, Ebony Ford, Vance Goodwin, Sable Lyn, Tamara Thompson

Ever since Draylah Omari was 16 years old, it seemed like life had only dealt her a bad hand. Tragedies and betrayal have taken the people she loved most, including her best friend of more than a decade, Glory. After finding out her boyfriend, Lue, who was once her savior, is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing, Draylah decides to lock her heart up and focus only on her half-finished brow bar. She's no longer in the mood to weather any storms, especially ones that are brought on by a man. But little does Draylah know, a whirlwind is headed her way, it's named Ricky AK, and she's about to get caught up in it.

Ricky AK, a rapper from South Central Los Angeles, is a thoroughbred gangster who just happens to have an impeccable flow. The streets are embedded in his blood, making the sexy young man brash, forward, insensitive, and extremely heartless. When it comes to getting his deserved respect, Ricky AK will put a man, woman, or child in their place with no problem. Brought up by his smooth and no-good grandfather due to his mother being murdered and his grandparents divorcing, Ricky AK learned young that being a woman's knight in shining armor wasn't in his DNA, and he was perfectly content with that. That is until he runs across the beautiful Draylah, who although is smitten with the unfeeling rapper, isn't up for taking his mess ascribed to her past heartbreaks. And even Ricky himself isn't quite ready to feel.

In this hood love story dripping with lies, treachery, secrets, and plenty of deceit, will the uncaring rapper from a cold upbringing be able to win over the beautiful but broken woman? Or will Draylah see the disturbingly charming Ricky AK for what he is, early enough to safeguard her heart from yet another fracture? But what's a woman to do when's she's got it so bad for a man that she doesn't even understand it herself?

I'm ready for part 2

This book is so good and that ending....what? I hope part two comes out quickly!

Ricky AK was kind of scary lol.

I enjoyed this book. The ending left my mouth open. I enjoyed all narrators except the one for Ricky. Overall good quick listen.

Good/packed w/ drama

This book was good and packed with drama from start to finish. The twists and turns kept me hooked, and the characters’ messy lives made for an entertaining read. Just when I thought things couldn’t get more chaotic, the ending left me on the edge of my seat. I’m already running to grab book two—I need to know what happens next!

Ricki AK is crazy and funny as hell!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Rikki AK is unhinged but hilarious!!!! I mean I was laughing out loud in public! He had me weak in tears laughing! My only complaint the narrator for the make characters didn’t quite capture the essence of the characters . I’m from So cal and if he had the “LA accent” it wouldn’t went over better. Great story ! Loved it!!!

Uhh

The guy who reads for ricky, his voice irritated me. He sounds like his nose 👃 is full of mucus…but I like the storyline
