This book contains two stories both of them centered around family bonds. DANGEROUS LIAISONS was about a mother-daughter bond while TEARS OF BLOOD was about brothers. Both stories were really well done and kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The stories dealt with revenge and betrayal and can't wait to read more from these authors.

In general, I'm hit or miss on urban fiction, but I enjoyed both stories in No Loyalty. They were better written than many urban stories I've come across, in a technical sense, while keeping some of the same aspects that readers love -- love/lust, crime, and betrayal. In the first story, Dangerous Liaisons, I appreciated the backstory that was provided via a series of flashbacks, and the formatting that made it easy to detect these. I didn't really see the ending coming, so I appreciated that while some aspects were common to the genre, the way it all fell together wasn't. The second story, "Tears of Blood," was also interesting, but I found it significantly more predictable and with a plot that was more common among the genre. I still enjoyed reading it, but I didn't have the excitement to see what craziness was going to happen next. Overall, No Loyalty is a book I can recommend.

This is another iteration of the current urban fiction tales. I feel their time has past and would like for books to get back regular contemporary fiction and not all this ratchet drama that is saturated the book market. But this seems to be what sells. This one was better edited than most. The story line was original with the main character having to experience the heartache and drama from her own mother. The book kept me engaged, I think I am just tired of the hood and wanting something with more substance.

Ok now!!! Whew!!!!! This is a book of 2 stories about revege. Karma is a (fill in the blanks,...lol). The writing flowed and will have you flipping pages because the stories grab and pull you in. You want to see where each story is going. Do not sleep on this book. Get it now!!!!!! Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.

THIS Book!!

Loyalty is seriously not something everyone understands!

Highly recommend!

De'Nesha is brilliant and is surely bone of my favorites. A'zayler is an author to watch and read!

I have this love-hate relationship going on with urban fiction titles. As a teen, and even before that it was the book I stole away with, hiding from the watchful eye of my mother--who would not otherwise want me reading a book, where sex and crime were glorified, and almost omnipresent.

Now as an adult, when I pick these books up, there's always a sense of foreboding lingering. They often disappoint, are poorly written--and glorify a stereotype I for the life of me, want black people as a whole to escape from. Don't debate me.

This one was not any different than any of the other urban fiction books I've read--as far as being exactly the kind of urban story I've grown used to. Drug dealing, big-booty women, and all around foul living.

In book one, Nichelle and Klaudya are at odds. They have the kind of mother-daughter relationship I would hope and pray no one has. Nichelle was a young mother--who grew jealous and wanton of her daughter's Richie rich lifestyle. It causes a rift between them, an even bigger rift than what was already present.

I'll give it to the book, it was suspenseful, because I for one, had no idea of what was going to come next--and although I wouldn't classify the book as mystery or thriller--it was definitely thrilling.

Without giving anything away the ending had me shooketh--because one it happens abruptly (I have a little gripe with the quick ending) and two you don't expect it at all, and it leaves all of these unanswered questions. You won't be getting an answer to them, but it doesn't leave you unsatisfied, just curious.

Book two--I laugh because it is urban fiction at its peak. The women are gorgeous and blessed bodily. I don't care if that's the proper way of putting it. That's how I'm saying it.

Twins, Kayden, and Aiden are hardcore--ride or die brothers. If one is in trouble, the other is swooping in with an S on his chest, and saving the other--and vice versa. It was both heartwarming and disturbing--the lengths they would go to protect each other. But, I digress. Who are me to judge?

Taking the heat for an incident Aiden finds himself in, Kayden is doing a bid for his brother. His girlfriend just had a baby--and she's furious he left her, and their infant behind. Aiden steps in out of guilt--and finds himself caught up. But, no worries, Jessica, the girlfriend's cousin, Bronx steps right up to the plate--getting on everyone's nerves but Kayden's in the process.

The book is written well, even if it is predictable and stereotypical urban fiction.

I wouldn't chuck the book across the room, so that's saying a lot. I wouldn't go to the tops of any mountains to sing the praises about it.

But it's a decent duo with enough entertainment to keep the reader intrigued. It's worth reading if only for that.
