In Thugs We Trust
By D. Frazier "Urban Fiction Queen" (Cleveland, Ohio)

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.

My Boyfriend's Back!

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here for the uniting of a talented storyteller and her pen...a match made in heaven.

Here comes the bride, or maybe not. When we last gazed upon Angel and her friends, she had found the man of her dreams and was on the verge of pledging her life to him, BUT another man believes the honor should be his and crashed her wedding setting off a chain of events; event that could mean the difference between life and death. As long as Snake is slithering around, there is no rest and no one is safe.

Sequels usually don't pack the punch of it predecessor, but that is definitely not the case here. Wahida set up another complex, drama filled story, tied up loose story lines from the previous book and gave us some more thug loving. It was wild from the start to finish. THUG MATRIMONY does not disappoint. The only pitfall for me comes in the fact that some of the previous main characters were relegated to supporting roles. I wanted more from Jaz, Tasha and Kyra. I guess more is to come in the next book. Just know this, if the author's name is Wahida Clark and the book's title includes the word "thug," it's gonna be good!
