Publisher's summary

True never guessed that life would be this hard. Being only 25 years old, she should have been being wild, reckless, and having fun, not fighting the hardest battle of her life, alongside a husband who no longer loved her. After their divorce, True wanted to be free and enjoy every day. Falling in love was not in the plan. She most definitely hadn't foreseen falling in love with an arrogant, womanizing hustler like Coop. Yet, she did. However, as soon as True tells him all her truth, he'll revert back to that unbearable goon that wreaked havoc on the streets of Chicago.

Coop grew up an orphan, passed from foster home to foster home. A hustler, his right-hand man, was his only family. His love was the game. His side chick was money. Then he met True. She filled gaps in his life that he didn't even know needed filling. Looking at her, being in her presence, was like the first warm, sunny day after a brutal Chicago winter. Being with her felt like being lost in the right direction. Coop had thawed out his icy heart and given it to True...just for her to break it. True was gone, unable to fix what she’d broken, but, lucky for Coop, True found a way.

Remi has been with Banks for 10 years. She remained loyal through every lie and infidelity in hopes that her patience and understanding will eventually bring her “happily ever after” with her one true love. Finally, Banks gives her what she has always wanted...a ring. However, that ring came with such a devastating blow, leaving Remi unsure how she will ever recover...until she meets True and Coop. Unbeknownst to her, these two strangers will mend her broken heart and cause her life to never, ever be the same again.

This is a heart-wrenching, yet warming, story of broken women who find love in their darkest hours from the most unexpected and hardened hearts.

Soul Stirring

My emotions are now all over the place! I've screamed at Remy for being dumb, shook my head at Coop, because he is one crazy ninja, cried with Angel, because True was my daughter too , and prayed that I could see Joy and Key's faces! Phenomenal read!

Great story

The female narrator makes it hard to listen to. Every time I see her name it makes me not wanna listen lol. But jakobi diem made it better love his voice and the way he reads with the right emotion

what a surprise

I wasn't expecting this story to be as emotional as it was. maybe its because i had a friend transition in a similar way at a young age so this story touched me differently than others. True was a wonderful spirit sent to bless the lives of Angel, Coop and Remi.
Folks give Lucy Laurel a hard time in narration but I've gotten used to her and I think she did a wonderful job, she brought me to tears. Jakobi is wonderful as usual. if you want a story that's different than the norm, this definitely one to listen too

HORRIBLE FEMALE NARRATOR

The story is good but this narrator is absolutely terrible. I constantly wanted to stop listening but wanted to know how the story ended *eye roll*.
So basically a good story but the female narrator was the absolute worst. Her voice was also a bit more matured for the way the characters were described.
