Liked It“Ok when I stay up all night to finish a book, it is good. If you have read Candy-Licker or Gspot you know what you are in for. I don't want to give the story away, but there are parts where I wanted to jump in the book and uhm handle my own business, and get a certain person straight lol.

“Andre "Thug-A-Licious" Williams struggled to survive on the mean streets of Harlem. He makes it out of the hood thanks to his fierce basketball and mic skills. Thug explodes on the rap scene with chart-topping hits and becomes one of the most sought after rookies in the NBA. But everything isn't all peaches and cream for Thug. The shady past that he ran away from could come back to haunt him. Thug's weakness for women leaves him with a list of baby mamas and children to provide for. Out of all the women he's had in his bed, Thug's heart belongs to one woman: Carmeisha "Lil Muddah" Vernoy. Carmeisha is a successful beauty salon owner who has been by Thug's side from the beginning. But Thug's many flings with other women may take its toll on Carmeisha. She also has to deal with a tragic and devastating secret from her past that not even Thug knows about. Thug's older cousin Pimp Williams is his former partner-in-crime and a cold-blooded killer. Pimp will stop at nothing to get what he wants even if it means betraying his own family and terrorizing Carmeisha.”

Yes | No“Readers of any of Noire's previous books know just what they are in store for when they flip open the pages. Many of her readers were bothered by this, claiming that her first two books were way too similar. Abusive boyfriends + Naive girls + Erotic sex with Harlem as the setting = Another hit for Noire. Yes the formulas were similar but they produced two monster hits with G-Spot and Candylicker. Would the same formula be used in her new release Thug-A-Liscious?
Thug-A-Licious focuses on Andre aka Thug-A-Licious and his two cousins Pimp-A-Licious and Smooth-A-Licious. Thug's life revolves around his love for 5 things sex, basketball, family, rapping and Carmiesha aka Muddah. With the love for sex leading the pack as evidenced by his numerous baby mothers and the STD he carelessly contracts. Noire expertly pens Thugs story documenting the turmoil he endures while attempting to outrun the harsh streets that raised him. Thugs story is poignant but it becomes overshadowed by the heart wrenching story of Carmiesha. Carmiesha struggles to overcome not only poverty but has to deal with loving Thug despite all of his faults, all while dealing with a heartbreaking secret that she attempts to take to her grave. A secret that will eventually cost her much more than she could ever imagine.
Noire critics beware Thug-A-Licious does contains another abusive male protagonist, Pimp-A-Licious manages to exceed the murderous rage found in both Noire's previous characters of Granite and Hurricane. Readers will even get a chance to meet up again with "G", Juicy and even Hurricane since the books takes place in Harlem while their reigns are still in full swing. In Thug-A-Licious the formula has changed some but the result is still same and despite what the critics may say Noire just keep getting better. For the readers who didn't enjoy Candylicker due to it's similarity to G-spot don't worry Thug-A-Licious is better than both books combined.

“GREAT BOOK, NOT AS EXCELLANT AS HER OTHER BOOKS.”
