Description

Icon:Everything changed the moment Livia came into my world. She’s got me thinking about things I ain’t never thought about before, like a future that ain’t all guns, wars, and money. But how do I keep her safe from the chaos I live in every day, especially when enemies are lurking in every shadow, waiting for the perfect moment to strike? I’ve been holding it down for my family since before me and my brother took over the Cartier Cartel. But balancing love and loyalty ain’t easy when the streets stay calling. My world is full of bloody revenge and deadly secrets, but Livia makes me want more. The problem is my enemies know how to play dirty. Every decision I make could cost me my empire, my family, and the woman who’s got me questioning if I can even be the man she deserves. I built this life brick by mfing brick, but now I gotta figure out if I can survive it and still have her by my side.Legend:I wanted to be successful in a game that didn’t come with referees or arenas, even though I knew the stakes were life and death. The streets whispered to me and my brother, calling us into a world we were born into. We run the Cartier Cartel while trying to stay one step ahead of enemies who’d rather see us buried. But with every move we make, the past keeps creeping in, dragging secrets and betrayal with it. And, now, there’s Aria. She’s the one thing I never saw coming, a woman who makes me crave something more than just survival, but in my world, love comes with a price. The enemies are stacking up, and even family ain’t always who they seem. I want to trust Aria, to let her in, but how do you give someone your heart when the streets have taught you to never show your hand? The game doesn’t stop for love, and the streets don’t wait for second chances. If I can’t figure out how to protect my family, my cartel, and my girl, the streets I were born into might just be my downfall. Read more

The Carter Cartel: The Inc!!

Skeltons are real 🫣
Format: Kindle
Everyone deserves to find their person and loved regardless of the life you live. Family be the ones to do you the dirtiest. Greed is a cause for immediate downfall. Revealed secrets will have rethinking your life as you know it. Icon & Legend followed in the family foot steps. They looked up to him until his secrets surfaced and from there everything changed and everyone became a suspect or an enemy. The life they lived they just knew love was in the cards for them, that is until their eye at different times landed on Aria & Livia. Honestly, these ladies in my opinion is what they needed to balance the life they lived. Don’t get me all 4 of them worked my nerves but I get it. The Cartier mean didn’t know how to live the normal life, just like Aria & Livia didn’t know or lived the life under a Cartel. So that say opposite attract is true when it comes to them. Now all the other shenanigans that’s happening has me speechless especially when it came to Nadine, Aria mother , Naomi and that raggedy Uncle. Not mention them teenagers, Icon & Legend sibling Tempo & Saint. Like they trying to fit in with the family but going about it the wrong way. But only time with tell with everyone. The way them last few chapters ended has me stunned. Listen, this is my first read by this author and I have to admit I’m not disappointed at all. Though book 1 is normally the introduction, Queen made sure this was a messy good time. I know more twist & turn will happen and I promise I’m here for it all. That ending, yeah the way I’m running to book 2. ... show more

Man, this story was very intense, and I was pulled in from the jump. There were definitely some times when to me when it lulled. But it truly was an urban romance.. this story is set in Chicago where I currently live and so I honestly I think Icon might even be my neighbor lol. Aria got on my nerves so much in this book, she definitely came off as judgmental and the way she was talking you would think that she was 40 and like 20 years older than Legend versus five or six years older than him. Sometimes your enemies are closer than you think. onto the next book. ... show more

THAT ENDING 😳😳😳👀👀👀
Format: Kindle
JESSICA N. WATKINS ALL THESE PLOT TWISTS HAD ME ANGR, READY TO SHAKE SOME FOLKS, KILL SOME FOLKS, AND LOVE THESE MEN LIKE THEY’VE NEVER BEEN LOVED BEFORE. EVERYBODY GOTTA DIE 🤷🏽♀️. I KINDA READ THESE OUT OF ORDER, BUT SINCE THE FINAL INSTALLMENT HAS BEEN DROPPED I FIGURED I’D START FROM THE BEGINNING 😁 I HAD A FEELING STONE WAS A SNAKE BUT WOOOW!!! HIM AND NADINE🤬🤬🤬. SHE WAS EVEN WORSE WITH HER FAKE WOMAN OF GOD PERSONA. PRETENDING TO LOVE AND NURTURE THEM WHEN ALL SHE WAS DOING WAS USING THEM TO GET ADVANTAGE AND BACKSTABBING THEM EVERY CHANCE SHE GOT🙄. THEY BOTH DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT’S COMING TO THEM. THAT DANG SAINT AND TEMPO MOST DEFINITELY SHOULD’VE STAYED IN A CHILDS PLACE. NOW THEY’VE ADDED EXTRA ISH TO ICONS AND LEGENDS HIT LIST😔 NANDO PLAYED HIS PART WELL BUT NOW HE GOTTA DIE🤷🏽♀️ LIVIA BAE COMING FOR YOU ARIA OL BOUGIE AZZ IRKED MY NERVES AT TIMES🙄. THE MOMENT SHE FOUND OUT WHO HER PEOPLE REALLY WAS SHE SHOULD’VE PUT HER PRIDE TO THE SIDE AND CALLED HER MAN, NOW HE GOTTA COME SAVE HER FROM HER OWN TRIFLING MOMMA😔 I EXPECTED ICON TO BE THE CHILDISH ONE BUT HE WAS WAY MORE LEVEL HEADED AND BUSINESS MINDED THAN LEGEND. THAT DANG LEGEND MADE ME WANNA JUMP THROUGH THIS BOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO SLAP THE ISH OUT OF HIM. HE WAS A TRUE MAN CHILD WHO TRULY NEEDS THERAPY TO HELP HIM WITH🙄🤦🏽♀️. I DO LOVE HOW THEY BOOTH ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE VENERABLE FOR LIVIA AND ARIA. THEY BOTH GAVE EACH OTHER SOUND ADVICE, BUT UNLIKE ICON LEGEND LET THAT ADVICE GO IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER😔 BOOK TWO IS ABOUT TO BE CRAZY ASF!!! ... show more

I normally love Jessica N. Watkins’ books, but I wasn’t as crazy about this one for some reason. It started strong, but as the story went on, it became a bit boring and unfocused. Icon and Legend not being on the same page really threw things off for me, especially in a story centered around a cartel that’s supposed to feel controlled and strategic. Legend was very emotional and hot-headed, constantly reacting without thinking things through, and while he blames himself for not saving his parents and uncle, his recklessness ends up hurting the people around him. The organization felt scattered and disorganized, with things slipping through the cracks, like Nadine, Temple, and Saint, and it made me question how they were running the city without noticing what baby Cartiers were doing. You don’t need to know everything, but there should be some level of awareness that something isn’t right. The story did improve toward the end, and the twists and turns definitely kept me engaged, so I’m still interested to see what happens in Book II. ... show more

Crazy read but oh such a great beginning yo this series!

Wow if you can't trust family who can you trust! Aunt Nadine ain't as sweet and innocent as she appears! Aria and Livia are too green for The Cartier men. Baby Cartier's Tempo and Saint are dipping into things that are going to get them hurt or killed! Uncle Stone, wow!!!! Aria opened her mouth now look where she at! That mother of hers is a real piece of work. Let me keep reading, things are getting hot for everybody!!! ... show more

My my my well you sure can't trust anyone with your life especially not your own family. There was so many twists and turns going on in this book. The author didn't disappoint. Now on to book 2.
