This collection is in a zone of it's own. Enter at your own risk. It's short, sweet, and straight to the point. TuShonda tells the tale of the 'true' ride or die chick. While Danielle Santiago has went 'Scarface' black folks style with the flava of a real 'gangsta girl!' And last but not least T.N. Baker's talking about if you play too long, you just might play wrong! Sex, drugs, gunplay, I'm talking "Wild, Wild West" ya'll, but city style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talk about....leaving you hanging!!!, September 14, 2006

Okay, I am going to start off by saying all 3 stories were very well written and had me wanting more. All of the stories were tied into relationships and friendships. I don't know if the authors met to leave you hanging or plan on finishing the stories in seperate books. They all were so good I would like to read each story in its entirety. Come on Ladies, get to writting!!!

The Last Run- Bruh and Zion were met to be. Although she was Tomika's friend it was evident that Bruh and Zion had better chemistry. I am just glad she came thru when she did or her man would have had it coming to him...I am curious to know what will happen next. Tu-Shonda you better not leave me in suspence too long!!!

Fair Exchange, No Robberies- Lovi was a real down A*S chick. She really had her brothers (Dough) back and was down for whatever. Dough knew that his friend Nicky was a good guy and would be good to his sister, that is why it wasn't no thing for them to hook up. Things were really looking up for all 3 of them after Dough spent some time in jail and then the altimate happened. It was messed up how things turned out. What will Lovi do now????

Rollin' Dice- Wassaun, Wassaun, Wassuan...what was he thinking doing his girl like that...over a dice game???? All I have to say was she was a heck of a woman to do that for her "so called" man but what did he expect after it was all said and done. The relationship would NEVER be the same after that. He should have handled this situation differently. Now he wants revenge...LOL!!!

All the stories were good. I just hated how they left you hanging and knowing that their more than likely won't be any sequels to any of them considering the fact that they are short stories made me mad. But the book was very good!
