The high priestess of the hood, Nikki Turner, is back with the novel fans have been feenin’ for: the sequel to her #1 bestselling novel, A Hustler’s Wife.
Des, Virginia’s slickest gangsta, is about to become a dad when he is charged with the murder of his own attorney. But with Yarni, his gorgeous wife (and a brilliant lawyer), now calling the shots, Des isn’t going back to the slammer without a fierce fight. Even with the heat on, Des manages to take his game to the next level and finds a new hustle, one that will allow him to possess the three things all major players desire: money, power, and respect. He becomes a preacher. Reluctantly, Yarni stands by her man as he trades in his triple beam scale for a Bible and a Bentley and makes his Church of the Good Life Ministry a welcoming place for all sinners to step up to the altar.
But when Des’s nephew is killed in the high-stakes heroin trade and Des learns that someone close to him okayed the hit, the dyed-in-the-wool gangsta sets aside the Bible for the gospel of the streets–even if it means risking the one person who’s always had his back.
The book is good, however in order for you to get a full understanding you must first read A HUSTLER'S WIFE, GLAMOROUS LIFE, RIDING DIRTY ON I-95 and lastly FOREVER A HUSTLER'S WIFE. Nikki Turner connects the characters from each book, also read the last story in GIRLS FROM DA HOOD PART 2 which is written by Nikki Turner and you would get a little more insight on the hoodrat 'UNIQUE' how and why she was kidnapped and left in a w****house in South America, in which she comes in contact with the infamous 'LOOT'CHEE' from the glamorous life. Trust me read these books in sequence or you'll be lost and won't understand the deadly connection.
