Book Description

December 30, 2010
Neighbors considered five year old Harmony Phillips, her father Cornell Phillips and her mother Estelle Pointer, to be upstanding citizens in their quiet little estate at Concord Manor. They turned a blind eye to the lavish lifestyle they lived, compliments of Cornell's involvement in the drug trade. When at the tender age of five, Harmony is abruptly taken away from her home by her scorned mother, her world is rocked. Without her father's protection, she doesn't just lose her expensive dolls she also loses any chance of a normal and healthy life.

Many years later, under the mental and physical abuse of her mother, Harmony develops a seething hate toward all women, including herself. She quickly develops into a cold, calculating, young and beautiful woman. What a deadly combination. After crossing the wrong people, Harmony is forced to relocate out of state. Before long, her fast sexual lifestyle causes her to breed kids of her own. Eventually she teaches her children every backbiting trick she knows. And if they go against her, she subjects them to abuse far greater than that she endured by the hands of her mother.

When Harmony discovers that she has inherited Concord Manor, she uproots her children from their new home in Texas, and moves them back to Maryland. Secrets come out within Concord's walls and somehow, her children gain the confidence they'll need to fight for their lives.

Raunchy is a heartbreaking, explicit story of failed mother and daughter relationships. And although hope looms in this tale, it can undoubtedly be said that if some women are not fit to be mothers, Harmony Phillips is the worst of them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Mom, November 25, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Man...where do I begin? Raunchy was a different type of book. Yes, it had your run of the mill drug dealer in it infused with the hard knocks of street life. But this book was focused on the love of a mother - or lack thereof. Though entertaining and comical, Raunchy showed us just what happens to those kids who become adults that were never showed any love or how to love. Raunchy held no pretenses - T Styles takes you straight to the core of the story within the first few pages. If you have a mom that was loving and showed you how to love, then Raunchy is going to make you want to call up Edible Arrangements and order her the biggest fruit arrangement they have. Raunchy is definitely a 5 star read - once again Miss T Styles writes with a mission. If you want a jaw dropping book that is filled with love, pain, betrayal and a bunch of drama that will make you say WTF - then this book is definitely for you!! CONGRATS MiSS T STYLES - this book is a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars T. Styles, are you okay??, December 22, 2010
This review is from: Raunchy (The Cartel Publications Presents) (Paperback)
T. Styles, I must ask if you are okay. What goes on in that head of yours? This book was oh so good!! How do you come up with this stuff? I have never read anything like this before and that is a good thing given all the books I have read! Each page is full of drama,and action. You will find yourself visualizing exactly what is going on. I CANNOT WAIT for part 2!! I know there are people like this in real life, but Harmony Phillips is truly the worse of them all. This is "Precious" to the 16th power!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars OOOOO WEEEEE!!!, January 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I read a LOT of books and and have read a lot of good ones too. However, this book, OFF THA CHAIN!! I loved it!!! I never wrote a review before for any of the books I read and felt the need to write a review for this one. T. Styles put her foot in this book! Harmony had a f'd up life, shoot most of the characters did! I'm not about to write a book about the book and tell the story. However this is the prime example of how cycles need to be broken in families today! This happens in real life and people need to choose to break the cycle of their parents mistakes. This book is a real page turner and it's not a predictor! I recommend everyone to read this book!
