Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2004

''All I Need In This Life of Sin is Me & My Boyfriend.'' Here comes a honey colored, hazel-green eyed St. Louis bombshell named Meesa. With money in the bank, designer clothes in her closet and true friends by her side, Meesa still longs for more. All of her life she's wanted for one thing and one thing only, love. When she meets the infamous Black, a street pharmacist from the North side of The Lou, finally love is in her grasp. Follow Meesa and Black, this century's new notorious Bonnie and Clyde, through the roller coaster ride that their tight to death relationship brings. From ups, downs, love, hate, lies, abuse and murder, they go through it all. Like the saying goes: everything that looks good to you ain't always good for you. But in the end, love always conquers all ... doesn't it?

About the Author

Keisha Ervin is the latest jewel to be added to the ever-growing Triple Crown Publications roster. This 22-year-old single mother of one is the hottest new writers to enter the literary game (urban fiction genre) in a long time. She has a writing style all her own. Though it maybe true, ''There's nothing new under the sun,'' nobody can quite write a story like Keisha Ervin. She is destined to take the literary world by storm and breathe new life into the urban fiction market. Growing up, she received numerous accolades and awards for her writing skills. Keisha has been honing her skills and practicing her art since childhood. However, by the time she reached her turbulent adolescent years, fate interceded, altering her childhood dreams. At the ripe old age of 18-years-old, Ms. Ervin became a casualty of teen pregnancy. Her literary career would be a dream deferred. Refusing to become a victim of circumstance, Ms. Ervin was forced to buckle down and re-analyze the direction in which her life was going. Accepting motherhood as a blessing in disguise instead of a curse, she was forced to mature. Realizing she had another life depending upon her for survival, she cleaned up her act, severing her street ties and making the successful transition to motherhood and author. Hailing from the Midwest, St. Louis, MO to be exact, Keisha Ervin is determined to bring more long deserved recognition to her birthplace just as rappers Nelly, The St. Lunatics and Chingy have done. With her debut novel Me and My Boyfriend, Ms Ervin takes you on a journey to her hood where we meet Meesa and Black. We join them as they go through the motions of being young, black, living in the hood and in love. The drama ensues immediately, as the young couple soon finds out that it ain't good to do even half good in the hood.

Yo...Keisha is my home-girl when it comes to Thug Love novels. I love this one just as I loved Chyna Black. I especially couldn't help wondering if I, too, could find me a dude named Black. All I can say is this book will keep you satisfied and interested until the ending. Any novel I can read straight through without putting down is nothing but a Five Star book. Trust you will not be disappointed.

Love, Peace, and Good Reading!

This review is from: Me & My Boyfriend (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)

Very in to the urban book era, this book was very enjoyful and unlike some readers I actually paid attention to the dates of the writer, which is where I see people got confused on age and times or whatnot. I would definitely recommend this book to other urban book readers
