A South Side Love Story

read by Morae Brehon, Ace Bentley
Part 1 of the South Side Love Story series
For some, love doesn't happen overnight. For many, their journey to love comes after loss, trauma, betrayal, and a lot of lessons learned. This is Lyric, Vic, and Tricey's journey to everlasting love.
Tricey, Vic, and Lyric are three friends from the Southside of Chicago fighting in the tumultuous war to find the one amongst the chaotic sea of Mr. Wrongs.
After breaking up with her baby's father, Memphis, Vic is in the arms of one new beau after the next, turning her heartbreak into a life filled with bald-headed h*e shenanigans. Vic's new approach to love terribly clashes with Asa's uncontrollable need to be more than her next sneaky link. However, Vic's refusal to commit doesn't keep Asa's alpha male street swag from trying desperately to blow up the wall she has built around her terribly damaged heart.
As Vic runs from Asa's attempts to woo her, Tricey has done the unthinkable: fallen in love with her friend-with-benefits. After the heart-rendering endings of her past relationships, Akbar was the ideal replacement. Everything was perfect about him... except for his pregnant wife. After fighting against it, she falls in love and realizes that she needs to walk away from the man that she can't imagine living without. Then enters "Blood," the dope boy ready to sweep her off her feet. Can she find the courage to walk away from the explosive chemistry between her and Akbar in order to enjoy the life that Blood wants to give her?
While Tricey is stuck between a dope boy and her married love, Lyric and Salem are approaching their wedding date. As they prepare to spend the rest of their lives together, Salem is under the impression that he has chosen the perfect wife-to-be. Lyric struggles with this cloak of perfection as she figures out a way to quietly end the affair she's had on the side since the day she met her soon-to-be-husband.
This is only the beginning of this urban romance, which is filled with love that hurts, betrayals, and feels tragically unsustainable. Packed with a sea of characters who add their own two cents of drama and contribute to the shocking and heartrending end, this love story is of three homegirls who are not only falling in love with the one but also falling in love with themselves.

Part 2 of the South Side Love Story series
For some, love doesn't happen overnight. For many, their journey to love comes after loss, trauma, betrayal, and a lot of lessons learned. This is Lyric, Vic, and Tricey's journey to everlasting love.
The only thing on nineteen-year-old Star Anderson's mind is taking care of her son by any means necessary. However, by means of breaking her back at a minimum wage nine-to-five is not an option. Therefore, she follows in the footsteps of her friend, Roxie, down a path of scamming, tricking, and robberies. Though this path seems to be paved with fast and easy money, tragedy strikes when plans become hurried and messy.
Star's big sister, Tricey, attempts to clean up Star's mess while fighting with her new and loving beau. He suddenly wants her to leave Chicago with him with no explanation. Though she is deeply concerned about her boyfriend's sudden need to leave Chicago, Tricey is so focused on rescuing Star that being a lovesick puppy and following him out of state is not an option.
However, Lyric doesn't mind being lovesick. She and her boyfriend are knee-deep in love and the lifestyle. Their relationship is full of excitement, raunchiness, and spontaneity. Yet, once he settles into the lifestyle and presents Lyric with an ultimatum, she is forced to decide how knee-deep in love and the lifestyle she is willing to be.
While Lyric contemplates allowing her heart to make her decision instead of her mind, Tricey's bitterness drives her to secretly stalk her boyfriend, which leads to a revelation of hidden deception and the biggest blow of deceit she has ever experienced.
In this raunchy, romantic, soap opera–style tale of promiscuity and corruption, Jessica continues this saga with the usual drama, romance, and loveable bad boys, yet with an ending that will leave you breathless.

read by Morae Brehon, Ace Bentley
Part 4 of the South Side Love Story series
Tricey would have given anything to have a simple relationship filled with moments spooning with her man as he watched sports, cooking dinner, and petty disagreements-rather than drugs, murder, and federal investigations.
However, for the past year, Tricey has been happy with the dope boy housewife lifestyle. Yet, it wouldn't be like right unless Blood's secrets come flying out of the closet and turn their happy home into a war zone.
Lyric has finally found the one. Yet, now that her love life isn't in shambles, her biological family is threatening her sanity. Vic is finally settled into her own skin. She may not know who her father is, and she may be single, but she is so content and focused on bettering herself that, finally, love unexpectedly finds its way to her in the most unconventional way.
Now that Star has found freedom, she still feels imprisoned-in her pockets! Her embedded hustler mentality is itching to get back out there and make this schmoney. However, the threat of violating parole puts her between a rock-being broke-and a hard place-making money in the wrong way. What's a girl to do when she is forced out of her red bottoms, into prison garb, and, now, back into hand-me-downs? As she takes the road that leads to financial freedom, she stumbles upon the biggest roadblock that threatens not only her freedom but her life.
Tricey, Vic, Lyric, and Star return with an emotional roller coaster that will leave your head spinning. In this finale, watch as all of the lies and betrayal come crashing down. Lessons will be learned. Time will heal old wounds. And unforeseen tragedy will force some to finally do what's right.
