Publishers Weekly

Urban fiction fans will welcome the melodramatic final entry in bestseller Woods's True to the Game trilogy, which vividly depicts the 1990s drug culture. After a vicious beating, Gena Scott, a child of the Philadelphia housing projects, awakes in a four-poster bed in a luxurious house and is overjoyed to see her drug-dealer lover, Quadir, whom she thought was dead. Quadir, she learns, has been in hiding, protected by the beautiful Dr. Amelia Hopkins, who saved his life after he was shot full of bullets. Gena is torn between her passion for Quadir and her new relationship with Jerrell Jackson, who happens to be Quadir's arch enemy. Fortunately for our heroine, neither a stalker, a rapist, nor crooked cops can thwart the progress of true love. (July)
