TROY “Nigga you cheatin like a mothafucka. Hell nah, we ain't doin that,” Nino my cousin shouted. I was back in my neck of the woods where I grew up, Godby Road, right in College Park, Ga. My aunt threw a cookout just because that’s what she did when her stamps came in every month. She invited her nearby relatives and though I wasn’t there frequently, I made sure to show my face a few times out the year. According to my family, it isn’t a real cookout without a game of spades going. Looking around there was four games of Spades moving along and the other people in the neighborhood were in the driveway shooting dice, betting money. Nino, leaned over the square table, searching a deck of cards, “Yeah, nigga, this right here. You reneged. Ain’t nobody stupid.” Everyone at the table started fussing and I shifted gear towards my homeboy Nathan who was counting money, hundred dollar bills to be exact.  “Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, t...

I've found that many of my readers have attached themselves to Riana's brother Shooter. Though he's not a Bennett, he has stolen many hearts and I made sure to start a bit of his story too except his book will be standalone. We learn more about his background and where things go with him and Lexi. I've added a quick preview and remember these excerpts are not the finished edited versions and are subject to change. SHOOTER Glass shattered piece by piece into the SUV as shots rang out. There wasn’t any way to tell where they were coming from since the front and back windows were now caved in. I pushed the button to recline my seat and take cover at the same time. A swish sound, along with a powerful breeze came my way with a bullet flying past my nose, barely missing me, “SHIT!” I whispered. My shirt suddenly became drenched with sweat, heart thumping and singing along with the tunes playing from the firing guns. I fumbled looking for my pistol. It was too...

What's up with the rest of the Bennett Brothers? Well, Sebastien's book (Unexpected Love) is on the way and I feel his story will be a great addition to the already loved brothers. Sebastien is the oldest and most serious of the three so his perspective and ways of doing things will be different. Fearless Love and Unjust Love is in production to become an audiobook and all other books that are set to release in this series will be added as well. Excited isn't even enough to really express my feelings. I've had many people inquire about it and I'm glad to make this transition because we all live busy lifestyles and I know sitting down to read can be time-consuming but listening to a story can help those that face those issues. Honestly, I've been a fan of audiobooks for a good while and my collection is increasing monthly. And let me not forget to mention that Fearless Love is finally available in paperback.

There's been so many emails and comments about the next book in the Bennett Affair Series. I had to at least bring you a snippet to satisfy your curiosity. Hope this helps until it comes out on  January 30, 2019! In the meantime, if you haven't read book 1 Fearless Love , do so today. BENJI The sound of splashing water caught my attention as the fellas and I relaxed on the couch in the sitting area next to the fire pit surrounded by water and beautiful women. Sean’s pool in his new Calabasas home was modern, but I was still a little leery at being so close to the moving flames. “Sean, you don’t think lighting the pit is a fire hazard?” I questioned.   “Naw, the way this seating area is made, the water won’t make its way in here.” All of a sudden, he reached for me pushing me towards the pit. The guys laughed as I caught my balance and avoided what could have been a very unfortunate situation. As I began to my exit, my focus was solely on Rian...
