Publisher's summary

A crime would bring them together, grief would bind them, and love would make them famous.

Parish “Pain” Wells is a man freshly reintroduced to society, after serving time in state prison. Prior to his fall, Pain had been a heist man who showed the promise of someone who could go on to be a legend. His trajectory changed on the night he had made the mistake of accepting a ride from a friend, and found himself behind bars for the one crime he hadn’t committed. Several years later, Pain returns home to a world that wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. The only one who still remains in his corner is his ailing grandmother. It’s for her sake that Pain tries to stay on the straight and narrow. He’s tired of breaking her heart and vows to be a good grandson, but when her medical bills start mounting he finds himself backed into a corner. He needs money, fast, and there’s only one way he knows how to get it.

Since her parents died and Passion Adams found herself a ward of her estranged uncle, a gangster who everyone calls Uncle Joe, her life has been on a constant downward spiral. She moves like a ghost from one day to the next, numbing her pain with drugs and alcohol, while seeking thrills in unsavory places. One morning Passion finds herself the victim of a robbery and the thieves snatch from her the only thing of value that she has left in the world, a locket containing the ashes of her deceased parents. Passion is devastated, fearing she would never see the locket again until it shows up later in the hands of a handsome stranger, who brings something into Passion’s life that has eluded her since the death of her parents… hope.

The two broken souls find themselves inescapably drawn into each other’s orbits, and begin their journey of finding lives outside the ones of poverty and sorrow that their worlds had condemned them to. But when shadows from both their pasts threaten their happiness, Passion and Pain set out on an adventure that would make them hunted by law enforcement and celebrated by the underworld. What initially starts out as a mission of vindication quickly turns into a fight for survival.

Another great series

This is a great book with surprises. There is some sexual trauma, and if you can get past that, it’s a great story.

I don’t know this man do it

Kwan manages to top every book/story he puts out. This books so damn good from all angles! I love how the cycle continues from past characters. It took me 3 days to finish but only because I was trying to make it last. The feeling you get after reading his books knowing it’s going to be some time before he drops another is depressing. The kwan*cary hite collaboration will always be a hit. Can’t wait for part 2!!!!

What a tangled web!!!

There were so many points of suspense and just when you thought you had it all figured out, another plot twist. Not sure how this addition will tie in with the others but I’m anxiously waiting to see! I love the honorable mentions from other characters and waiting to see how they all may play a part in the future.

You never disappoint!

This was a fantastic read. the only thing I'm upset about is the fact that it has ended and I need to know what happens. I pray it doesn't take a long time to get the next book in this series but damn when I say I have been left hanging. I'm about to listen to it for the third time it was just that damn good!

Passion & Pain

What I liked most was that all the characters had backstories, regardless of their nature. Pain’s grandmother was by far my favorite character, while Prophet is the one I disliked the most. Queen’s emotional state led her to make a decision she will never forget. I’m excited and anxiously awaiting the next installment of this series. As always, I’m an avid fan and reader of K’Wan, and he never disappoints.
