Product Description

Big Tymers is the sequel to HOOD RICH...

When you grow up a Prince, life can be challenging, sometimes even to the extent of violating all the family rules. DeMarques Prince’s daughter, little Asia is all grown up and fast as hell. With the hype that goes along with being Princes’ baby girl, Asia can’t help but quench her thirst on a man in the family business. She’s savvy like her daddy, gorgeous like her daddy, and thirsty for exposure to the game. Like daddy, she’ll go through hell and back to discover that all bling ain’t good bling. As any real Big Tymer knows, introduce the innocent to a pleasurable diversion and they’ll find themselves dangerously in love. Existing in the game is sometimes a lifetime commitment.

Alex, Calvin Shaw’s protégé takes Aisa on a lavish tour of fast money, adventure, sex, and deception. In the end, poor choice kick that ass, but the real Big Tymer in Asia’s life is a living example of how truly understanding the term Hood Rich can literally make one prosperous.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best sequels I have ever read, June 3, 2006

By	Love me some books "Jounay" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews

The book begins with a day in the life of Asia Prince, the daughter of Demarques Prince.

Asia is a 17 year old teenager trying to get things her way or no way. Asia has it going on in the area of her looks and her body. Asia meets a small time dope dealer named Alex who she is very devoted to. She is so devoted to Alex she is willing to destroy her relationship with her mother and her stepfather. After a heated argument with her mother and stepfather Asia makes a huge decision, one that changes the course of her life.

After making this decision Asia finds love in the most unlikely person.

The book takes us from Asia's teenage years through her adult life and this is where Asia must make some serious decisions about life, love, and friendship. Once these decisions are made will this be the best decision for her and those she loves.

After reading this book I felt you didn't have to read Hood Rich to understand everything going on. This is a tribute to the author on how well it is written. There are answers to questions left unanswered in Hood Rich. If you liked Hood Rich you will absolutely love Big Tymers (I know I did).

I hunted Crystal down to get this book and I am glad I did. Not only is Crystal a great author but she also has a great personality. I look forward to reading any and everything she has written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metamorphosis, June 20, 2006

By	Nardsbaby "Connoisseur of the written word... (Westside Chi-town, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Did you read HOOD RICH first? If not then please place this back on the shelf because in order to follow the Prince legacy you have to read, reflect and realize that the PRINCE family has real purpose...

Asia Prince, better known to us as Butterfly, is all grown up and feeling BOSSY, or so she thinks. Young, sexy, ill-tempered and thirsty for the attention, Asia's milkshake is bringing BIG TYMERS to the yard. Her #1 stunner, Alex, is not on the same level as the other chumps. Due to his affiliation with some of the most legit ballers in the game, he's prepared to provide Asia with the very best. Asia soon discovers that the affection that they share is costly.

As we find out in HOOD RICH, a Prince definitely has their own way of learning valuable lessons. Like her daddy, Asia is no different. Have the past choices caught up with the future?

Best selling, self published author Crystal Perkins-Stell has EXCEEDINGLY stepped up her game. BIG TYMERS is so fierce that it not only takes you through the past and present, readers will be intersected by characters from Meisha C. Holmes' Brooklyn Jewelry Exchange. Talk about stepping it up BIG TYME. Admirers of HOOD RICH will not be disappointed with this perfectly crafted sequel.

While reading BYG TYMERS I reflected ON HOOD RICH and now realize that becoming a best selling author wasn't all, CRYSTELL PUBLICATIONS has real purpose.

By	MSKIKI425 "Real Divas of Literature Online Bo... (Maryland) - See all my reviews

THIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO HOOD RICH OPENS UP WITH A VERY GROWN ASIA PRINCE. IT FOLLOWS ALONG SIDE HER THROUGH ALL HER DRAMA. AGAINST HER FATHERS WISH ASIA FINDS LOVE IN A YOUNG HUSTLER WHO LAVISHES HER JEWELRY AND MONEY BUT SHE HAS TO LEARN THE HARD WAY THAT EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS AINT GOLD. IS ASIA AND ALEX THE NEXT BONNIE AND CLYDE? OR WILL EVERYTHING JUST SHATTER TO PIECES. THIS WAS A GREAT STORY FILLED WITH TWIST AND TURNS. THE STORYLINE MADE APPEARANCES WITH CHARACTERS FROM HOOD RICH. A LOT OF FAMILY SECRETS ARE AIRED OUT. IF YOU HAVENT GOTTEN THIS BOOK I REALLY AM NOT SURE WHAT U ARE WAITING ON. IT IS FOR SURE 10 STARS!
