My thoughts:
The first story was by Angel M. Hunter called Busted and Disguster. It is about a stripper named Cream White. She wanted to get out of stripping and came up with a scam to try and get out.

The second story is Southern Comfort by LaJill Hunt. Sydni wanted to get out of Brooklyn and go off on her own, but she needed the money to do it. She had a white guy friend named Byron. He wanted to be more than friends with her. There was also a guy named Darrius who she could not stand. Her ...more The first story was by Angel M. Hunter called Busted and Disguster.

The second story is Southern Comfort by LaJill Hunt. Sydni wanted to get out of Brooklyn and go off on her own, but she needed the money to do it. She had a white guy friend named Byron. He wanted to be more than friends with her. There was also a guy named Darrius who she could not stand. Her brother Aaron and sister Magic said they think she is in love with Darrius, but she doesn't believe it. Then there is Mr. Joe, who wants to marry their mom, but something about him just doesn't seem right. At the end I was surprised about who was left.

The last story is Played by Dwayne S. Joseph. Angel met this guy Frido. He always seemed like he had business to do, but Angel was not sure what kind of business he was in. She was told his was into dealing drugs. Normally she would have nothing to do with that scene, but she just couldn't but like him. Frido would come and pick her up from work every day, but then things changed. I really hated Frido. He acted like he was all that, but the way he treated Angel toward the end I just couldn't believe.

I loved this book and gave it 5 out of 5 stars!
