Essence best-selling author Victor McGlothin's knack for crafting superb noir fiction was showcased in the Black Expressions' selection Borrow Trouble. With this sensational novel, McGlothin brings back notorious hustler Baltimore Floyd for more seamy intrigue.

In 1947 St. Louis, Ms. Etta's is the place where a sinner can get all the boozy action he craves - that is until ladies' man Baltimore Floyd rolls into town and falls in the sack with the wrong woman.

True page turner will read again. The author really draws you into the personality of each character and how the emotions change over time. Wish there was a part 2

Amazing

Loved this narrator. Deep gravelly black male voice and smooth female. Felt I was back in the 40’s. Not too hard to take the mistreatment of the era - woven in a believable way - at least the way I wanted to hear it. Will look for more from both author and narrator

Great storytelling

Wow! I could just imagine this on the big screen. The costumes, the cars, and old St. Louis as the backdrop. The imperfect hero Baltimore was very complex. Good character development.

Where to begin? I stumbled upon this book while looking for a romance novel. Let me first say that Ezra Knight can do no wrong when it comes to narration of a book! He is by far one of the best to ever do it. He actually performs the stories. He doesn't just read. Now to the book, this was my first listen by this author. However, it certainly won't be my last. I can't wait to listen to everything he has on Audible. Generally, I don't listen to books without any Audible reviews , but this was a winner! Though there are multiple characters in the book, the character development is so good that you feel like you know each one of them personally. I was invested in each one of the characters lives. I actually cared about what happened to them. Baltimore and Penny were my favorites. Grab this book quick.

Fantastic!!!

It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to a book that was this engaging and well written. I throughly enjoyed getting to know (and become attached ) to each and every single character in this book !!! I loved the bond shared between Etta & Baltimore I love the intense love trust and adoration they shared. I loved the fierce protectors they became immediately for Penny !!! Just a great read all around. Bonus : Read by the incomparable Ezra Knight !!!! Bravo , bravo sir !!!

This needs to be adapted into a broadway play or for the big screen !!!!!

I enjoyed this book. However, the story dragged along for about 5 chapters. I did love the fact that the plot twist were unexpected. I didnt expect the story to pan out the way it did. Like MK!! That's was very unexpected. Also, in the beginning I felt Penny would end up in love with Floyd and she would get hurt eventually mental and physically. So, the end of the story was very pleasant.
This book is definitely ringing that old saying my grandmother use to tell me growing up that
everything that glitters ain't gold!
Charter and Morals....

Good book

I thought the story was good and the characters were interesting, and described well. The narrator paused at times I thought he shouldn't have, but he was good. It started off in a way that I thought the story was about Penny, but that was fine because it gained my full attention. I'm glad I kept listening, the story ended fine. I enjoyed it and I would recommend it.

A good listen

I loved this book, it felt like watching a movie with all of the details that we tend to overlook when we're watching it on screen.

Hang on to your hats, you're going on a ride

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narration was on point. At times it seemed a bit comical, but overall all it was a good book.

GREAT BOOK!
