Six & Free
Two stick up kids by the name of Free and Big Lou get more than they bargain for when they discreetly rob a baller named Twin at one of his lavish parties. Not only do they get away with his lucrative stash but Free also gets away with Twin's lady, Six, and quickly he makes her his main chick. For years to come best friends Big Lou and Free continue being professional ski mask bandits, which in turn allows Free to provide Six with the hood rich lifestyle she craves. Six is the epitome of a ride or die chick, so when Free gets locked up for three years, she never thought twice about faithfully standing by his side. Through his prison sentence Six tries her best to hold it down, she even has to get a job as a bartender at the local strip club. With Free's upcoming release she thinks things will go back to normal and she will be living the lavish life in no time. She thought wrong though because the day following his release it becomes scarily clear that Free owes the Russians a pretty penny. Three hundred thousand dollars to be exact, and in only six months or they both will be forced to pay with their lives.
Jones is an original gangster and just so happens to be the coolest father ever. He is completely non-judgmental and gives Six the best advice because he clearly wants the best for his daughter. He knows that Free and Six are in dire need of cash flow so he brokers a business deal between Free and a king pin named Britain. Things go from bad to worse when the deal goes horribly wrong. Britain refuses to pay and that automatically makes him the next intended robbery victim. Free has to approach this stick up a bit differently being that Britain is the man in the streets and appears untouchable. He decides to send Six. Although she is apprehensive about basically renting herself out to some stranger, she is down for her man and is willing to sacrifice herself. In the meantime, Britain has no idea the woman he is falling head over heels for is simply playing him to get close to his safe. Six is focused on getting this job done and then moving on with her life with Free, but to her surprise, the lines between business and pleasure quickly start to blur. Britain wines and dines Six like she never even imagined. He shows her a world that dreams are made of and has her constantly thinking to herself how much different Britain is than Free.
This novel is absolutely mesmerizing and is without a doubt "the most complicated love story ever told." The wow factor is apparent throughout this tale as Britain takes the hood chick that Free loves and upgrades her lifestyle and appearance with sophistication. Six tries fighting her feelings for Britain and is determined to stick to the plan when unexpected and vile scandal along with heartbreak pushes her into his open arms. Her love for Free and her love for Britain eventually has her torn between the two. The choices she makes will undoubtedly shock readers. What Free and Six never seemed to realize is the extreme lengths they go to in hopes of obtaining money come with extreme consequences and last but not least, they can't escape their past.
