“For The Love Of A Good Man
The gang is back and not a minute too soon. The story picks up three years later and I can see the growth in the characters. They have moved on to bigger and better things, but the street life is not so forgiving. Andre "Dre" Wade has left the drug dealing behind and is now a loyal taxpaying citizen. When "unsettled" debts creep back up, it puts Dre and his family in a crazy position. When the unthinkable happens and Dre has terrible accident, Nikki Bell has to lead the family and go back to the infamous strip club "The Pink Palace".
Going back into stripping was not in the plans, but to save her family, Nikki does what she has to. Things are far from the same; she is no longer the HBIC nor does she want to be. She there to do a job and get out. Malachi Turner the club owner has Nikki on a short leash and will do anything to control her. The question is: how far will Nikki go to protect her family? Jasmine the club headliner is a trip and the reason I enjoyed this novel so much. Her antics will keep you” incase” to see what she does next. Of course we get to keep up with some old friends as Jayson and Janelle make appearances, along with the new characters Kandi, Bump,Chauncey, Polo, Reggie and Ricky. This makes for some good ole reading.
Author Marlon McCaulsky has done what so many want to do: a successful sequel that is also a standalone book. Love how this author tells a story. His narration keeps you interested. I love a book where the characters have chapters and this author has mastered that effect. I look to see what he has in his future for us readers. I am sure he won’t disappoint the masses. I highly recommend this fast paced novel with an ending that will have you applauding. With no stoned left unturned there is no need to continue, but I can see how Kandi and Jasmine can hold down the fort as we follow them as business women.
