As far as urban lit goes, this one is really tame! Bunkley knows how to tell a story the old fashioned way, without the graphic sex, violence, and gangster and ho stereotypes that plague most urban fiction novels. It could use some finishing touches, but it has a good plot and decent character development. show less

This was okay - a bit slow in the beginning. I was disappointed witht he way thefemale lead gave up on everything she believed in just to keep her man.
Boooooring. Not great, not horrible. No excitement or passion. Couple of smile moments, but not enough to make this memorable. 3hrs 55mins
