Passion for the Heist

By: K'wan

Narrated by: Cary Hite

A crime would bring them together, grief would bind them and love would make them famous.

Parish “Pain” Wells is a man freshly reintroduced to society, after serving time in state prison. Prior to his fall, Pain had been a heist man who showed the promise of someone who could go on to be a legend. His trajectory changed on the night he had made the mistake of accepting a ride from a friend, and found himself behind bars for the one crime he hadn’t committed. Several years later, Pain returns home to a world that wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. The only one who still remains in his corner is his ailing grandmother. It’s for her sake that Pain tries to stay on the straight and narrow. He’s tired of breaking her heart and vows to be a good grandson, but when her medical bills start mounting he finds himself backed into a corner. He needs money, fast, and there’s only one way he knows how to get it.

Since her parents died and Passion Adams found herself a ward of her estranged uncle, a gangster who everyone calls Uncle Joe, her life has been on a constant downward spiral. She moves like a ghost from one day to the next, numbing her pain with drugs and alcohol, while seeking thrills in unsavory places. One morning Passion finds herself the victim of a robbery and the thieves snatch from her the only thing of value that she has left in the world, a locket containing the ashes of her deceased parents. Passion is devastated, fearing she would never see the locket again until it shows up later in the hands of a handsome stranger, who brings something into Passion’s life that has eluded her since the death of her parents… hope.

The two broken souls find themselves inescapably drawn into each other’s orbits, and begin their journey of finding lives outside the ones of poverty and sorrow that their worlds had condemned them to. But when shadows from both their pasts threaten their happiness, Passion and Pain set out on an adventure that would make them hunted by law enforcement and celebrated by the underworld. What initially starts out as a mission of vindication quickly turns into a fight for survival.

The men are pedis in this book good tho

Great book but men was hawkin over a child that's crazy but overall good story

I don’t know this man do it

Kwan manages to top every book/story he puts out. This books so damn good from all angles! I love how the cycle continues from past characters. It took me 3 days to finish but only because I was trying to make it last. The feeling you get after reading his books knowing it’s going to be some time before he drops another is depressing. The kwan*cary hite collaboration will always be a hit. Can’t wait for part 2!!!!

Passion for the Heist

Another banger from K’Wan, Blackbird and Passion’s story touched me and the entire story kept my attention!

This is a pedo type of story

The story was kind of decent but the age differences are strange. Give it a listen but there’s a chance you may be thrown off.

Storyline

This story unfolds so well . Overall narration was great . Excited for the next book in the series. So many questions need to be answered
