About this listen
As he struggles to control his drug empire and keep his cutthroat girlfriend in check, Kiley Jacoby Abrams has the next several months cut out for him. If that's not enough, he's got more setbacks than one man can handle: an arrogant and troublesome brother, a sneaky playa-hating friend, another friend who turns to him for everything, and a woman who only claims to have his back.
Kiley's life is full of secrets from the past, and for as long as he can remember, he's been running from a life of crime. Moving from Los Angeles to St. Louis doesn't allow him the change his heart desires, and Kiley soon realizes that trouble is his middle name. His fight to turn his life around doesn't last for long. When a new love interest comes knocking at his door, she offers Kiley a life of stability - or possibly a new journey that may lead him straight to the devil's lonely hell.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 368
My name is Kennedy Desiree Carter. I met the love of my life, Damion "King" Carter, five years ago. Back then, you would not have been able to convince me of the way that he would change my life, in good ways and bad. I was a good girl; on my way to college with a high GPA and big dreams of becoming a child psychologist. Yet, as soon as I met King, I also dreamed of being the best rider that any street nigga had ever seen. I was a good girl with a bad boy fetish, and King was the ultimate bad boy that came to love me in ways that I had never felt before.

“How Can I Be Down” - GREAT READ ‼️
“How Can I Be Down” is a great read‼️ …Congratulations to author Brenda Hampton and Joe Black as narrator. Meanwhile, I don’t want to spoil the plot for anyone. Let’s just say some characters’ behaviors were anyways suspicious. Nonetheless, I’m NOT disappointed nor surprised. But I want revenge for Kiley, Kareem, Quincy & Desmond.
