Publisher's summary

"You'll know them. They have the letter 'M' branded on them like cattle."—Henry Melvin

Since Yakima's been able to date, her detective father has reminded her of the type of men to steer clear of. At twenty-seven, she's done just that until one night of partying and a botched raid lead her into the house of mob boss Francisco Matisse.

Calm, cool, and collected are frequent words used to describe Francisco "Frisco" Matisse. His main focus is business, and everything else, including his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Alyce Smalls, comes afterward. In a hostile takeover gone wrong, Frisco schemes his way into Yakima's life, proving to his adversaries that his reach is far. Despite her skepticism, Yakima gives Frisco a chance.

As their relationship intensifies, he realizes he's in too deep to pull himself out. In a twisted turn of events, his scheme backfires, putting everyone involved at deadly risk. What was meant to be strictly business turns into something deeper, faster than he expected. With Alyce in his ear, Yakima in his heart, and people trying to threaten his empire, his back is against the wall.

When Frisco's secrets are threatened to be unveiled before he can reveal them himself, he must decide where his love and loyalty lie. Will it be with the woman who's been in his life or the woman who has his heart?

Team Frisco!

This is a 14 hour and some change listen but it’s so action packed that it goes by quickly. Frisco is my new book boyfriend. He is a bully, lover, loyal, fine AF and some mo’ adjectives. He’s a beast….I just love him. Oh and his love interest ain’t no joke, she’s time enough for him. If a man don’t ring my bell and confess his love to me on the porch in the rain….I don’t want him, This is a great listen!!!

Wowwwwww

So goodt let's go part 2. I enjoyed the characters and the love triangle was crazy.

chemistry!!!

This book was phenomenal! I Love , LOVE!!
You definitely will Not regret this purchase!!!

Love the book, the narration…

I absolutely love this book. Mr. Winston James was so good as Frisco. I was feeling like I was listening to a news lady read Yakima’s parts though.

Great Story

I absolutely loved this book. I read the book then once the audio was released I listened to it. Look there is NO WAY I would have put up with Frisco’s mess! Ain’t no way! But I love a good messy book and this one did not disappoint!

Loved It 😍

I love the story. It was a well written romance, comedy of sorts/kinda. All I know is, I was laughing almost through the whole story. 

Great Author

So this book was well written but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to like the relationship formed by the 2 main characters. The man made 1000% excuses for why he dogged his ex so I couldn't root for them. Good book besides that.

Great book

Great read. VAs were great. I think someone said one of the females VA were to animated but I think everyone did great. Some of the story was heartbreaking. Especially Alice hearing them in the closet. My heart broke for her. However it was a messy steamy story which is what I love to read.

1000000/10

This is the first audiobook in a while that kept me gasping each chapter. I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written with dynamic characters. I was skeptical about the narrators at first, but it got better as time went on. I was thrown off by each narrator pronouncing a certain characters name differently. I would def re-listen though.

Really Good

It was a great story, performed really well but Elise was treated so badly by Frisco and eventually by Ukima. Elise didn’t deserve that and I hated Frisco. He really wasn’t a good guy.
