Product Description

To those on the outside looking in, Passion Hill seems to have it all. She's stunning, self-assured and spoiled. She looks and acts like she's living a charmed life. But looks can be deceiving. Passion's life has been anything but picture perfect. In her 23 years, she's lost a lot. At the age of nine, she was left to mourn her mother's brutal death at the hands of her father's enemies. Thirteen years later, she found herself standing over yet another gravesite crying bitter tears. This time, it was her boyfriend, Lorenzo who was stretched out in the casket. He too, was the victim of a vicious slaying. After facing the tragedy of losing Lorenzo, Passion makes a promise to herself. She's through messing with hustlers. No more misery and pain. She wants to close the door on that chapter of her life and move on. She's managed to put her life back together with the help of her father, her step mother and Lorenzo's best friend, Jinx Waters. For the first time in years, she's actually happy. She's determined to keep things moving in a positive direction by maintaining her stance on not messing with hustlers…until she meets Solomon Kent. Solomon Kent is everything Passion wants to avoid. He's unreliable. He's cocky. And he's a baller. He's the last thing she needs in her life. But he's also handsome, funny, sexy and GENEROUS. He's exactly what she needs in her life but at what cost? What's a female to do when her head and her heart are at odds about what's best for her?

Is what Passion Hill says to herself once she decides to date another hustler; still morning the death of her first and only love Lorenzo she falls for a BAD BOY.

For first time author Tracy Gray I felt the story was told well, just a bit repetitive at times. Other then that I enjoyed it and look forward to the next story Ms. Gray puts out.

Tracy Gray has come out the gate running full speed ahead. I really enjoyed this book. It was hot and steaming to say the least. It will have you happy,sad and wanting more.
She was born and raised with street savvy in her vains but you would never know it to see the sweet and quite Passion Hill. She was schooled by the best her father. she knows the code of the street all to well so don't you dare sleep on Pretty Hill's "BABY GIRL"

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unexpected Passion, January 29, 2008

By	The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews

THUG'S PASSION begins with Passion Hill grieving over the death of her hustler boyfriend, Lorenzo. Following Lorenzo's death, Passion vows never to fall for another man in the game. Lorenzo's long time friend, Jinx, plans to help Passion keep her promise.

Passion begins to piece her life back together by returning to work; she is a beautician in an upscale salon in Chicago. A year goes by, and she begins yearning for companionship. Passion meets Solomon, a handsome, sexy gentleman who seems too good to be true. The friendship turns romantic, but deep down she is skeptical about his lifestyle. Meanwhile, Jinx continues to be a loving friend to Passion, but he cautiously watches to see how her relationship with Solomon will unfold.

THUG'S PASSION is author Tracy Gray's freshman novel. It is a sweet, unforgettable love story about valuable friendships and how they can transcend into something unforgettable. Kudos to Gray for creating compassionate characters who remind the reader that true love can really evolve from friendship.
