Every Love Story Is Beautiful, but Ours Is Hood

By: Jessica N. Watkins

Narrated by: James Grey, Corrin Clay

From birth, the Savage brothers were taught by their father, Deuce, that life is like a sandwich; any way you flip it, the bread comes first. They were taught to get money, not fall in love, so they left a wreckage of broken hearts on their road to getting money. Yet, now, as mature men, they realize that you’re not rich until you have something that money can’t buy. And money certainly cannot buy the women who have stolen these brothers’ hard and stubborn hearts.

Taye “City” Savage and Akira White’s love story started in the projects. Ten years ago, they met when Akira was only a young girl and City was a grown man getting his hustle started. City and Akira’s bond was strong, and their fate was inevitable, so they thought. However, before their bound could be sealed, life happened. They were torn apart by unimaginable circumstances, and they never saw one another again until a decade later. Yet, by that time, both City and Akira were involved, but they weren’t so loyal to Nova and Davion that they could ignore the passion in their hearts that they still harbored for one another.

Sometimes, the last thing a person wants to do is fall in love, but love sucks them in anyway. That is exactly what happens with these Savage brothers and the women who adore them. As life always has it, love ain’t that easy to obtain, especially when loving a man who was raised by the streets and whose first love is the hustle.

In yet another urban tale by Jessica N. Watkins, death, sex, and chaos lead to unforeseen tragedy and unexpected love.

Addictive

Ms. Watkins knows how to keep your attention if you can keep up with the many, many, many characters in her stories. LOL But seriously there are about 14 or 15 characters in this book but she explains the storyline well. I’ve noticed from her other books that there are always a lot of people in the story but the character development makes it believable. The recording is horrible on this one but don’t let that deter you, it’s still a good listen.

Some things are just irritating

I love the story line. Some of the reading sounds like they need to read more to get on “grade level”. It was as if an unsure person was trying to read. After they got into the routine of it the reading was a little better. I’m not sure if it was intentional, but both a male and a female reading had speech impediments. That was irritating to me. I’m definitely going to get the rest of the series because I want to know how the story turns out. I’m just keeping things honest in my review as it pertains to my preferences.

Loved it!

I listened to this book on a road trip and let me just say this… I was on vacation listening, until I finished the book!!!

Great book !

So the girl narrator I could over look , but the guy not so much. His voice didn’t match the character in my opinion. Great storyline though .

slow start

.... still got pulled in

The narrators were less than ideal. They even had me laughing at times because one had a lisp and played several characters, but you can always tell it was the same person. However, I still got pulled in! the storyline in these types of books are kind of predictable but still tend to catch you off guard in some situations. Nevertheless, I will be listening to part 2. That's how they get you!

Amazing author

Listen!! I am now a fan of this woman!!! These books will leave your imagination wondering!! I love it

Absolutely ravishing

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I was completely taken by this book. I really enjoy books that gives me a sense of really creating the movie in my mind. And this is it!! I’m really waiting in the movie to these books! I enjoy every chapter!! I couldn’t ask for a better read! Thank you

Great read!

The narrators were very good. This was a very interesting story. I loved it! Congrats

Great storyline but….

I absolutely loved the storyline. But the narration was terrible especially when the man/female had to read in the opposite sex voices. There were way too many pauses in between chapters. The voices just weren’t good it almost made it hard to listen to
