Book Description
When Canary gives in and agrees to see what Houston has to offer, the last thing she expects is to run into Kalena, the ex that refuses to let go of Laxton. Feeling like what they have is real, Canary’s more than willing to go however many rounds necessary with Kalena to get her point across. Just when Canary thinks things have settled down, Laxton hits her with another curveball: baby talk. Still scarred from her prior miscarriage, the thought of parenthood scares Canary, but Laxton just might be the one to help her overcome her fear. Canary is like a breath of fresh air to Laxton and his family, and the only thing that could make life better is Canary saying she’s ready to call Houston home. With his eye on the prize, Laxton is focused on the future and putting a few babies up in Canary, but his past won’t let him be great. No matter how much he pushes her away, Kalena is the ultimate headache for Laxton and refuses to let the next chick replace her. Kalena says nothing but death can keep her from Laxton, but the question is, whose life will be lost when it’s all said and done? Kenji and Silk may seem like the most unlikely couple, but when she agrees to stick by his side after finding out just how he makes his money, he knows he’s got a real one for sure. Kenji’s heart tells her that Silk is the one, and when he introduces her to his family, he knows Kenji is all he’ll ever need. When they least expect it, a bomb that Makiyah drops threatens to shatter the love Kenji and Silk think they’re building together. Will he be able to love Kenji past her flaws, or will their perfect love story end before they can make it to the altar? On top of that, Silk learns some shocking news that has him out for blood. Determined to destroy all that threatens his mission to uncover the truth, Silk just might sacrifice someone in his inner circle. Makiyah is hit with the ultimate betrayal when she learns the truth about her sister, Maleeah, and Ali. Through it all, the one thing that’s kept her smiling is knowing her mother will be released from prison soon. Maleeah has other plans, though, and when she shows up to steal her sister’s thunder yet again, Makiyah is faced with a hard decision: stay true to her love for Ali, or make him and Maleeah pay for their betrayal. Which path will she choose? Get ready to jump right back to the thick of things with Canary, Laxton, Kenji, Silk, Makiyah, and Keylon as they all fight to win the same thing: the heart of a real one.

Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Ezra is the boss of all bosses, and when Lil’ Shad calls him with an emergency, he will boss up in a major way. Of course, he can’t go back to Dallas without running into Star. With Emerald by his side, Star quickly learns her place, or so you would think. Star becomes the least of his worries when he learns that his name was mentioned around unfamiliar company —an unforgiveable violation causing Ezra to transform into Juice and handle things like a boss. Emerald and Ezra’s relationship is like a match made in heaven. Ezra is everything that Emerald imagined he would be, and more. Even with that being the case, Emerald is holding on to a secret that could change their lives forever. Going back to Cali for Hollywood’s graduation is not something that Emerald is looking forward to, especially since she still hasn’t spoken to him. With Ezra by her side, she is comfortable, but still walking on eggshells. Yes, Ezra is the bosses of all bosses, but Emerald reminds you why she is the low-key boss. Taylin has a lot going on these days. Juggling two guys that want her, she can’t decide which one to choose. When McKinley expresses his feelings for her, it makes her think twice about ending their relationship. But Nosa? He is the perfect guy. Taylin is stuck between a rock and a hard place, trying to decide who she will ultimately give her love to. After her run-in with McKinley and Kaneshia, it becomes easier to abandon her feelings for McKinley and give things with Nosa a chance— but a pop up visit to New York could change everything. Hollywood is slowly turning into a young man, yet staying true to his real self. His friendship with Lexi has remained constant, but everything changes in the blink of an eye. He has never known what love feels like, so he isn’t sure if that’s what he feels for her or not. Though his mind isn’t sure, his actions show it, but seeing Stormy could either unravel or tighten his bond with Lexi. Hollywood isn’t the only one with a love triangle going— one of his ladies has a triangle of her own. In the final installment of Infatuated by a Low-Key Boss, half-truths will be told, secrets will be revealed, and gunshots will ring out. When the smoke clears, bodies will be on the ground, but whose? H-Town is where it all began, so that is where it will end.

Being in love with the plug isn’t always easy, especially when that love is forbidden. Best friends, Purple and Breelynn, know that all too well. After secretly being in a relationship for the past two years with Em-kay, Purple’s brother, Breelynn has grown tired of only being able to claim him behind closed doors. She is ready to live their relationship out loud, mainly because she’s now carrying his seed. However, Em-kay isn’t ready to reveal their secret, and for good reason: he’s the reason their relationship is forbidden. Will Breelynn get her way, or will she remain Em-kay’s little secret? Purple has always followed Em-kay’s every rule, but turning 18 has her ready to break out of her shell and do grown woman things. With a little bit of liquid courage, she finds herself confessing her true feelings to Sas. Never seeing her as more than his annoying little sister, rude boy Sas quickly shuts her down. Loyalty is his middle name, and he just can’t see himself going against the code by going down that road with Purple and betraying his boy, Em-kay. There’s just one thing he’s not counting on: Purple isn’t the type to take no for an answer, and she’s not giving him up without a fight. Will Sas stick to his guns, or will Purple prove to be the kind of temptation he can’t resist? Secrets are only secrets if no one finds out about them. Will the crew be able to keep their secrets under wraps, or will emotions get the best of them, putting everyone’s truth on blast? In part one of this hood love tale, you’ll find out just how hard it is to love the plug.

The Elephant in the Room
Author: Tommy Tomlinson
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501111620
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 A “warm and funny and honest…genuinely unputdownable” (Curtis Sittenfeld) memoir chronicling what it’s like to live in today’s world as a fat man, from acclaimed journalist Tommy Tomlinson, who, as he neared the age of fifty, weighed 460 pounds and decided he had to change his life. When he was almost fifty years old, Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishing—and dangerous—460 pounds, at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Raised in a family that loved food, he had been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn’t go the way he planned—in fact, he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to change. In The Elephant in the Room, Tomlinson chronicles his lifelong battle with weight in a voice that combines the urgency of Roxane Gay’s Hunger with the intimacy of Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’. He also hits the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a Fitbit and setting exercise goals to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, America’s “capital of food porn,” and modifying his own diet, Tomlinson brings us along on a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. Over the course of the book, he confronts these issues head-on and chronicles the practical steps he has to take to lose weight by the end. “What could have been a wallow in memoir self-pity is raised to art by Tomlinson’s wit and prose” (Rolling Stone). Affecting and searingly honest, The Elephant in the Room is an “inspirational” (The New York Times) memoir that will resonate with anyone who has grappled with addiction, shame, or self-consciousness. “Add this to your reading list ASAP” (Charlotte Magazine).
