5.0 out of 5 stars In Thugs We Trust, July 11, 2007

By

This review is from: Thug Matrimony (Paperback)

In Thug Matrimony by Wahida Clark, readers are reintroduced to Angel Smith and Kaylin Santos, the new Bonnie and Clyde. Kaylin crept out of the drug game and owned a new record label and recycling business. Angel had a law practice and was looking forward to being Mrs. Kaylin Santos. On their wedding day, amid all of the hustle and bustle of what should have been a happy occasion, the couple were visited by individuals who were a lot more than unwanted. This appearance caused so much chaos that it threatened not only the wedding, but also the lives of individuals who were no longer playing street games. Would Angel and Kaylin's past create enough friction in the present to destroy their relationship? Or would their struggles strengthen their bond and propel them into the future as husband and wife?

Wahida Clark did her thing in Thug Matrimony. The scenes were vivid and the characters were lively. The sex scenes were erotic and fulfilling. The editing was on point and scene transitions were careful and smooth. There will be a forthcoming addition to the `Thug' series tentatively titled Thug Matrimony, Volume II, which I will definitely get my hands on. I recommend Thug Matrimony to urban fiction fans that enjoy well-rounded stories that do not leave you hanging and have realistic drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wait Is Finally Over!!!!, March 25, 2007

By 

Delonya Conyers {Hotchklate} "Coast2CoastReaders" (Bronx, N.Y.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thug Matrimony (Paperback)

Thug Matrimony the highly anticipated sequel to Thugs and The Women Who Love Them and Every Thug Needs A Lady was definately worth the wait!!!!! I can't bear to give away any of the book not even the storyline. All I can say is that all of the characters are back with the book primarily focusing on Kaylin, Angel, Trae, Tasha and of course Snake.

Wahida's Thug series perfectly exemplifies books that are straight hood but dayum good!!!! Anyone who missed out on the frist two should definately get the revised editions along with Thug Matrimony. Everybody who've already read the first two need to run and get their copy of Thug Matrimony!!!!

Hear ye, hear ye, the jury has taken a seat, the judge has banged his gavel, and the verdict is in.....

Wahida has finally quenched our thirst for the long awaited Trae/Tasha finale. Although "Thug Matrimony" is Kay and Angel's story, she answered the question that we have all wanted answered!!!! He's alive!!! Thank GOD for Trae's miraculous recovery!!!

This Thug journey marches on with drama from the wedding crashers, to stalking, pimping, murder, rap beefs, all the way to the Don's of the mafia. So you know that you will not get bored or distracted. Wahida captures your attention from the rooter to the tooter!!

Big ups Wahida!!! Congrats on another best seller and may 2007 be your year!!!

Kudo's to you!!! Be blessed!
