Canāt Live Without Your Love
Whatās up everybody, Happy Friday!
Todayās review is titled Canāt Live Without Your Love by Coffee Jones!
Itās a lot going on in this book, but you definitely wonāt be bored..and now that Iām looking, I see part 2 is already out (yasssā¦I hate waiting!) so I am excited about that.
Thereās 4 characters Iām going to touch on. Starting with the main character, King. Heās the head of āThe Nationā which is his family..they practically run (literally selling everything from drugs to women) Ā and the only way you can leave the Nation is by death. They have their own rules and standards they live by, and you must do things accordingly. However, he is having issues with keeping his sister Kira in line.
In the beginning of the book, Kira is taking care of Kingās son Micah in a secluded area... Obviously itās for protection, but Kira makes a mistakeā¦causing him to have to send her away and step up as Micahās father. Throughout the book you see Kira struggling between doing what she wants, and doing what the Nation requires from her. I was rooting for herā¦but Iām worried she might slip again..cuz chile, she is hard headed as hell.
But back to Kingā¦he meets and falls in love with Mija, and this is where the issues really arise. Mija is a part of a cartelā¦that already has issues with the Nation, and her brother Emilio is NOT having this relationship at all so he does all that he can to keep her occupied. Each side has their own rulesā¦so they must oblige.
Until they devise a plan.
But you gotta read to see if that plan works..
Honestlyā¦at the end of the book..it looks like a failā¦but Iāll read part 2 to see if they managed to make it do what it do. Lol I honestly donāt know..Iām really not being vague this time.
But thereās another character who is dealing with issues of his ownā¦Kingās brother from another mother Keao. Heās the right hand man..and has finally gotten the woman heās longed for after all this time..but her father not feeling him muchā¦and she doesnāt know much about the Nation..so we have to see if sheās willing to go through this blind and unaware.
Yeah..Iām not joining no Nation. Lmao!
I enjoyed reading this. Honestly, I think the addition of this whole Nation business brought a new element to the book. In most books, you see these guys selling drugs with no plan or anything in motion. They practically winging it. But with King, you could tell he had everything mapped out and wanted to follow protocol just like his father would have wanted him to. You see him struggling with doing what the Nation wants, and trying to save his sister. However, King wasnāt my favorite. Keao was. He seemed so humble, and I felt he was more relatable. He was loyal, but he wasnāt cocky or had any ill intentions. He didnāt want the top spot. He was fine exactly where he was.
Kiraā¦Iām not sure what I think about her just yet. She annoyed the hell out of me because she knew what she was getting into but kept doing what the hell she wanted to do. Iāll have to read part 2 to see whatās gonna happen with her. She doesnāt really seem to take the Nation seriously and is always looking for her brother to bail her out, which puts him in a bad spot because heās in charge and trying to do things the Nation way. Ā If he finds out her secret, I donāt know whatās going to happen to her or their relationship.
