Book Description

February 1, 2008
If you make it through the gates which house Emerald City, one of D.C. s deadliest projects, you ll run into four women with colorful ski coats and designer jeans. And if you don t belong, you ll quickly find out what they have nestled inside the Marc Jacob or Louis Vuitton purses they keep closely to them. These females aren t just pretty faces. They were taken out of their beds and placed on the throne by the hustler s they loved. Their only request was that the Emerald City squad remain true. But when Thick, the self proclaimed leader of the clique decides to bring an outside chick into the picture, to floss using the money their girlfriends earned, the security of the operation is jeopardized, sides are chosen and all hell breaks loose. Immediately they decide to remove the gang-stresses from power to prevent their emotions from interfering with business. But it s easier said than done and their ungratefulness only insights their fury. Once they shared their beds together, now they fought a war against one another for the ownership of a million dollar empire. Four women against their ex men. Who will reign supreme? The men who taught them everything they knew about the game? Or the Pitbulls In A Skirt?

About the Author

Meet The Pitbulls!

Mercedes I love Cameron. And I love everything about the drug game. I don t even have a problem with my son Li l C bein put on when he s ready. I m that down chick men dream about. But if pushed, I have an evil streak too. Believe it.
Kenyetta I m easy goin . You know, the kinda girl who doesn t like a whole lot of drama. But I m also loyal. To a fault. But when needed, I also know how to flip the script. As long as Dyson s loyal to me I m care free. But if not, well...that s another story.
Yvette I run Emerald City! These niggas betta respect me like they respect my man Thick! I ain t got no problem bustin my gun if I have to. But at the end of the night, I m still a woman. Who needs to be loved. But sometimes I think he forgets.
Carissa I m the cute one. The one they wouldn t expect to break bad. Sometimes I think my beauty s my curse. At the same time, it s what drew Lavelle to me. I m still down for my girls, no matter what. I just hope I don t have to choose between them and my man. Pray for me.


Meet The Emerald City Squad


Cameron I just wanna make this papa, stay on my grind and take care of my family. I just hate when Mercedes keeps pushin me about movin her out of Emerald City. Hell she got everything a hustler s wife could dream of. So what s the problem?!
Dyson I m not feelin the exclusive thing. I mean, I ll defend what s mine, but sometimes I want to be set free. You know, to do my own thing. So if asked to choose the money or my woman for me it ll be a toss up. We ll see.
Thick Sometimes my squad is too soft! I hate that they trip off of what their women say. We have an operation to run. If I m asked to choose between the paper on Yvette my decision is made. I can live without a woman, but I can t live without that old mighty dollar.
Lavelle I m not a sucka for love. I just care about my girl. I hate that s is all or nothin with my crew. I guess I m ridin stuff out and trying to believe our motto. The Emerald City Squad For Life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hottest book of the year!!!!, February 5, 2008
This review is from: Pitbulls In A Skirt (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Perfect Paperback)
Pitbulls In A Skirt is FIRE! Mercedes, Yvette, Kenyetta & Carissa are true ride or die chicks for the hustlers they love. They were made the "gatekeepers" for a million dollar empire, inside Emerald City--one of D.C's deadliest projects. These pitbulls in skirts held it down for their men, until Thick--the grimiest out the crew--decides to "wife" an outsider. He then devises a plan that might end the clique's relationships with their girls. Will they stay loyal to the ones that held them down or will they pledge their loyalty to Emerald City and Emerald City alone? This book is a page-tuner from start to finish--i read this book in three hours! Its HOT!!!! The Cartel did it again-- another hit. They won!! Keep your eyes on the rising stars they turn out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takin' 08 By Storm, February 12, 2008
This review is from: Pitbulls In A Skirt (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Perfect Paperback)
This is the first book I've read from The Cartel, and they have definitely gained me as a fan. Pitbulls In A Skirt was about women's empowerment on a street level that left you baffled because you can't believe the events that took place. When they say behind every man stands a strong woman, this statement rings true on the pages of this book. These chicks were beyond ride or die, and their loyalty for each other couldn't be questioned. The Cartel is stepping the game way up, and I'm looking forward to more hot books from them for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who Let Them Dogs Out?, April 8, 2008
This review is from: Pitbulls In A Skirt (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Perfect Paperback)
Clad in fur coats, skin-tight designer jeans, and stilettos are four of Emerald City's deadliest and sexiest divas. They are strapped and representing one of D.C.'s deadliest and most lucrative housing projects for the love of their thuggish men. Mikal Malone has penned a stimulating and fierce read centered around the gatekeepers of Emerald City, and the loves of their lives: the original hustlers. These four ladies are the epitome of loyal, dedicated, and ferocious when it comes to their duties to oversee the profitable drug game that they've been lured into and have this business humming like a well oiled machine. Money flowing, everybody eating, and when someone steps out of line, they're on point to get them back to their assigned posts and responsibilities. Mercedes, Yvette, Kenyetta, and Carissa are sizzling, sexy, and sassy as well as hopelessly devoted to their men, and they play their positions to the hilt.

Determined to get out of the projects and still please their men, Mercedes (Cameron), Yvette (Thick), Kenyetta (Dyson), and Carissa (LaVelle) are introduced in the midst of the murder of their best friends Dex and Stacia. Mikal Malone guides readers down a fascinating path as each step leads the residents of EC through the drama and revelations that they may not want to encounter.

Pitbulls In A Skirt is an exciting read that captivates the reader with the realistic daily scenes revolving around the central characters. Mikal Malone does a wonderful job of endearing the heroines as they each struggle through troubling situations with their loved ones. The title is indeed trendy yet heartfelt because these four ladies are rare jewels that embody tenacity, strength, steadfastness as well as empower genuine beauty gracefully. Pitbulls In A Skirt is an awesome read! Mikal has most definitely acquired a faithful fan base with this read and we are anxiously awaiting the second installment to this remarkable tale of life in the hood and the people that call it home by omission or commission! Kudos to you, Mikal Malone!!
