Worth the Hype

I just can’t get enough of these Crenshaw brothers!! They just don’t disappoint. I’m over half way finished with this book already. I just started it yesterday. 🤣

This book is about Bashar Compton! Bashar is a successful lawyer with a little thug in him. Fine just like his other brothers and loyal.

He have a crazy baby mama. If you thought Tiara was a little crazy in the previous book, wait until you meet Nixi. 🫣

Let me continue the book so I can know what else happens. Do you think Kiss it Better is a book you want to read?
