The "Trophy Wife" is another banger from Ashley and Jaquavis. Kalil is a young man fresh out of jail and he is on a mission to do the right thing. The right thing means taking care of his little girl Jada and working an honest 9-5 job for some shady Italians. Kalil is used to hustling and balling out of control with unlimited cash, but to stay out of jail for his daughter he will do the right thing...for a little while at least.

When Kalil meets the lovely London, Jada's dance teacher, he is immediately drawn to this beautiful woman. Kalil soon learns that London's husband is abusing her and she has the bruises to prove it. Kalil and London fall in love, and London knows she is playing with fire. London wants to feel real love and not like someone's property or punching bag. London and Kalil begin an affair and this sets off a chain of events that will change there lives forever!!!

This review is from: The Trophy Wife (Paperback)

Ashley & Jaquavis has brought us avid readers another fabulous read. This is a story of London who is trapped in a lifeless and abusive marriage. Nowhere too go and no one too turn to, until she meets Kalil. He makes her feel like that beautiful flower that she is and shows her how if feels to be loved. Will she get up enough courage and do what she gotta do to find true happiness?

Trophy Wife is very fast paced from beginning to end. I was very impressed how the authors place themselves within the story. The storyline was phenomenal and the characters were believable. I just wanted to save London myself from her dilemma that she or no woman should go through. Kalil was the cool cat, trying to do the right thing and take care of his responsiblities. Ashley & Jaquavis are amongst my favorite authors. I've been a fan since the beginning with there first novel "Dirty Money", they have yet to disappoint. There style of writing is out of this world. They are both making it do what it do in the literary world. Keep those good novels coming.
