It was good book. I really enjoyed it. The ending made me want to cry. However there is another book by the same authors with the same title and I think they are the exact same book, so becareful purchasing this item. You don't want to purchase the same book twice.

Kalil's story begins when he is released from prison following a drug possession conviction. Passionate about his young daughter and being an integral part of her life, Kalil is determined to lead a straight life with a legitimate job. Kalil soon finds out that his mission will be very difficult to pursue.
With the help of his loyal cousin, Kalil begins to piece his life back together. The most important part of this equation is Jada, Kalil's young daughter. Due to circumstances surrounding Jada's home life, Kalil decides to raise her on his own. Unfortunately for Kalil, a 9-to-5 job doesn't fit into his current situation, and the streets call him back. Kalil involves a notorious kingpin named Hova when he returns to the streets. With Hova's connections, Kalil obtains the resources to reclaim his name on the streets, but ironic occurrences change Kalil's plans and he quickly finds himself in an unexpected position.
While involving himself in Jada's school life, Kalil meets Jada's dance instructor, London. London is a foreign beauty who is married to an extremely abusive and controlling man. Kalil and London quickly bond, but soon find themselves in grave danger. Kalil, London, and Jada encounter life or death situations, and their time together begins to tick away.
THE TROPHY WIFE starts with a very unique prologue, and the tale takes off from there. Although some of the pertinent background history about the main characters was missing, the story's plot is clear. Ashley and JaQuavis are two authors known for their captivating stories, and they did not disappoint with this read.

Ashley and Jaquavis did it again with The Trophy Wife. This book tells the story of a forbidden love between London and Kalil. She is married and he is a convicted felon who just got out of jail from serving a 4 year bid. He vows to leave the streets alone for the sake of his daughter, Jada. But when he gets fired from his 9 to 5 job he is once again lord into the street life to survive. This book is a real page turner. Find out if London and Kalil find true love or will he be another statistics to the game.
