Revenge, Inc by Keleigh Crigler Hadley

Picture
This gripping page-turner from Christian Fiction author Keleigh Crigler Hadley shows that all it takes is one bad decision for everything to change.

Cherise Holder's hell on earth begins on her 26th birthday. Unable to cope with a heart shattering loss, she gives in to a familiar addiction. Forced to attend AA meetings, Cherise befriends fellow alcoholics; Stuart, a disgraced banker, Greyson, a bitter cheerleader and Araceli, a broken teenager with an infamous parent.

An opportunity arises, and the foursome decides to work together to correct past wrongs in each of their lives. Their ingenious plan to get revenge works - too well and this is only the beginning. They find the electrifying high of revenge, more addictive than anything they've ever experienced.

Cherise assumes that revenge will put out the fire in her heart, but she finds that it just makes her rage burn brighter. She sets out to prove that revenge is a dish best served over and over again. 

Revenge Inc. mesmerizes as it speeds you through the diverse Los Angeles landscape- from the barrio to the hills of Hollywood. Along the way, it exposes what the lust for revenge truly does to your heart, mind and soul and what God meant by, "Vengance is mine."

Thin Ice by KR Bankston

Welcome to the city of Atlanta, home of Hip Hop Moguls JD, Luda, TI, Outkast and more, where Magic has its own city and redemption from sin can be found at any number of Mega Ministries the city heralds. It’s also home to Ian “Ice” Bailey a man as dangerous as he is sexy.

Our story begins on the East side, where we meet Ice and our supporting cast. Kaitlyn “KiKi” Ross and Jaleesa “Tweety” Mitchell; two ladies who can hold their own in the game, making moves and plays as well as any of their male counterparts. Things are fine until Tweety crosses the line, unwittingly dragging KiKi along, and invade Ice’s territory. That’s when everything becomes complicated.

Throw in a romantic triangle or three and the fun really starts. Ice has a thing for KiKi, but she has a thing for Tariq. Tariq Taylor is the short order cook she sells smack to and thinks he’s a junkie. Tariq is into KiKi, but Landon, the guy who works for the arena league that KiKi meets at the club, is determined she’s going to be with him. Confused yet? No? Well there’s Tweety’s man Evan, Landon’s friend, who isn’t what he presents himself to be and who also happens to have hidden lust for KiKi.

Ice is not a man accustomed to hearing no, or being outwitted in his business. His reaction to both is force, sometimes deadly. Begin the ride with us and meet all the players in our serial drama, starting with the beginning, BEWARE: Thin Ice.

Tee and Michael Stokes have realized that life for them will never be normal. As heads of a new entertainment management company and expecting parents, it’s now more important than ever to figure out if their stalker, Rebecca DeFoy, is dead or alive. If she’s alive, will she kill again? If she’s dead, who is impersonating her and why? Whichever the case, they must put an end to the harassment once and for all before she puts an end to them.

Their friends have drama of their own……

Tiffany has traded in her tight clothes and stilettos for big hats and conservative dresses as she tries to prove to one of Memphis’ most promising young pastors that she is worthy of a man in the pulpit. Can she control her feelings for Michael, or will temptation ruin her chances for love and her friendship with Tee? Lenice has entered the world of online dating. Her keystrokes can’t mask the pain of a failed relationship, but they could lead her into the life of an elderly millionaire. Lenora’s weight loss has changed her body and her attitude for the better, but her husband’s job at the Kitty Kat Club may be too much for even the new and improved Lenora to handle.

Join Tee, Michael, and their hilarious friends as they discover that the key to surviving this journey called life is to hold on tight to the hands of the ones you love while you pray for faith to see you through. Forever and a Day will keep you loving, laughing, and on the edge of your seat!

Spicy by Sherrod Tunstall

Picture
In the heart of St. Louis comes a beautiful firecracker by the name of Ava “Spicy” Perez. For almost a decade Spicy has had it all. A nice sized bank account, a beautiful baby girl, beautiful town house, rocks all the top of the line designer clothes from Prada to Gucci, and has her college tuition paid in full. Thanks to her man, Deuce, the head of “The Empire” that supplies the entire east coast all cocaine and marijuana, there isn’t much she doesn’t have. But when Spicy convinces Deuce to leave the game to start his own business and to start a new life with her and their child, things are looking up for the pair. Until Deuce is murdered in the club by arch revival Big Kirb, ruler of the Kingdom, a notorious drug and prostitution ring in Saint Louis. Now Spicy wants revenge for Deuce’s death and will not rest until Deuce’s murder is brought to justice. Her justice. Enter the gritty tale of real love, devastating betrayal, and ultimate vindication - street style. 


Peek into the book:

Spicy was getting so turned on, she didn't realize that Deuce was in the room. 
“What's up, baby.” 
Spicy opened her eyes, then quickly put the picture in the dresser drawer and closed it. She got up from the bed and wrapped her arms around Deuce. They kissed each other slowly, then she smiled at him and said, “Boy, when you get in this house?” 
“Just a minute ago. I got theses for you,” said Deuce in his deep, sexy voice, handing her some pink roses. 
She took them from him. “Thank you, baby.” she said, kissing him. 
Deuce looked over at the bed. “So what were you doin’ in here?” He smiled at her. “Did I miss the show?” he said, trying to untie her robe. 
She stopped him. “No, no, no that's for later, after you eat your dinner.” 
“That’s just appetizers I want the main course.” As he began to touch her breast, his dick got harder and harder. 
She removed his hand, smiling. “Come on, boy later. Come on, have some dinner so you can have some energy for...,” she took his hand and licked each finger one by one, “...dessert.” 
He smiled. “Cool.” He kissed her. “What you cook?” 
“Some of my hot buffalo wings, fried rice, grand salad, and for dessert, strawberries wit hon...ey.” 
“Damn, baby, that's gon’ taste fire. But not as fire as you gon’ taste.” 
They shared a wet kiss with real tongue action. Deuce then stopped, took Spicy's hand, and led her out of the bedroom. “Let's go and git this meal over wit.” 
In the dining room, Deuce and Spicy were eating, but Spicy stopped and looked at Deuce, who was still eating. She then looked over at the strawberries and bottle of honey, gettin up picking up both items. As she walked over by Deuce, who stopped eating and looked back at her. 
“Where ya goin’, baby, with the honey and strawberries?” 
She stopped and looked at him. “I'll be back. Just keep eating.” 
As she went upstairs toward their room, he looked back at his plate and took a bite of his buffalo wing. 
Damn, this shit is hot, but it's good. As he was taking another bite of the wing, he could hear Monica's “Angel of Mine” coming from upstairs. He smiled, then got up and went upstairs; there, he saw that the door was closed. He slowly opened it and saw Spicy lying 
on the bed with the little Victoria's Secret black cutout teddy lingerie on and the strawberries and bottle of honey on the nightstand.
