necessary to complete her goal.
Love, hate, betrayal, drama and
tragedy are all in the day and life of these friends. Who will overcome
and be the last standing in the game of love where rules do not apply.
EXCERPT
Kyra
closed the door wondering who had sent her something. There was no
name or address. She slowly opened the flap and pulled out one of the
pictures. Her mouth opened, but made no sound. She looked toward the
kitchen where Greg was making breakfast.
She
thought back to all the years they had been together and how he went
out of his way to get her to go out with him, since he was four hours
away in Fayetteville attending college at U of A and she attended ASU.
She had never worried about him cheating or messing around. He had
always been so good to her, but now she was looking at a picture of him
screwing another woman on his office desk. She knew it was him she
could see the picture of him and Justice hanging on the wall in the
background. She didn’t know what she was feeling. An array of emotions
took over her body.
She looked through all the pictures as she stood at the door. Tears began to flow down her face.
“Kyra,
who was that at the door?” Greg yelled breaking her concentration. She
didn’t even remember walking in the kitchen, but at that moment she
began hitting Greg with all her might. She moved in on him so fast and
unexpectedly all he could do was put his arms up in defense.
“You muthafucker!” Kyra screamed.
“What
the hell is wrong with you?” Greg finally grabbed her arms wrapping
them around her and turning her back to him to restrain her from hitting
him. “Calm your ass down.”
“Just let me go then,” she said trying to break free from his grip.
“I’m
going to let you go but you have to stop hitting me. Damn you have my
mouth bleeding.” He let her go and grabbed a paper towel wiping blood
from his mouth.
“Your ass lucky more than that isn’t bleeding.”
“Damn Kyra, you can take the girl out of Southwest Little Rock but you can’t take Southwest Little Rock out of the girl.”
REVIEW
This was a very dramatic
read. My heart broke for Kayla a lot. I couldn't imagine losing my child
and the love of my life. There was quite an ensemble to this story and I
will admit it got a bit confusing at times. There were many twists and
turns that added to the suspense and intensity that Kim Morris clearly
is going for. Very high octain read for me. There was deep sadness and
uplifting joy. Twisted within that was anger, drama, and a lot of sass!
It was an interesting read and Kim has my attention.
