Makhai Matthews has built a name for himself in the streets and the studio—a gang member turned rising rapper with a reputation for being as reckless as he is talented. He's loyal to his crew, proud of his hustle, and unapologetically blunt. Change isn't something he's ever considered—until he meets her.

Diamond Scott has no patience for men who live fast and love carelessly. Between holding down a steady job and trying to keep her life on track while her sister spirals, she's learned the hard way that peace is priceless. Confident, grounded, and self-assured, Diamond refuses to let anyone disturb her balance—especially a man like Makhai.

But when their worlds collide, sparks fly in ways neither expected. Diamond challenges Makhai in a way no one ever has, forcing him to confront the parts of himself he's buried beneath the fame and chaos. And as he works to prove he can be the man she deserves, Diamond finds herself falling for the one person she swore she'd never give a chance.

In a love story rooted in chance and resilience, Makhai and Diamond learn that sometimes the right person doesn't just change your life—they make you want to change yourself.

The narrators didn't match the characters of the story. Diamond was not my favorite character. Overall the book was good.

How Makhai loved Diamond. And wanted to change his womanizer ways to be with her. Also how he helped her care for her niece Keoni. That he didn't play about Diamond.

Black love

I normally don’t listen to audiobooks but I’m so glad it was suggested to me.

Worth the listen

These were not the right narrators for this book and they (especially the female) stole life from the story. Overall, the story was nice, the love story was sweet, and all that. I found the fmc to be a bit annoying at times but otherwise likeable and a good person. Having been affiliated with gangs, I can say with full confidence, sis went a lil too far with the "lord" usage and actin like not even the social worker was gonna look at him sideways.

Oh Diamond got on my last nerve, I guess she was going off what her old boyfriend did but ok! Other than that it’s a good story.

I like it but…
