Rating:  Summary: A GREAT READING EXPERIENCE Review: An excellent first for Roy Glenn filled with exciting and lively characters. I'm eagerly awaiting his next!
Rating:  Summary: And thug of the year award goes to¿. Review: Author Roy Glenn has spun a wild story of a thug who has changed his life. Mike Black, also known as Vicious Black, has gotten out of the drug trade, stopped killing as many people and is now running a semi legitimate nightclub and restaurant business. Then he runs into the most beautiful drug dealer he has ever seen. Cassandra "Shy" Sims' drug business is sliding and her life is in danger so Vicious is forced to save her life on several occasions. Neither Black nor Shy totally trust each other even though they are madly in love. Some readers will find it disconcerting that the 'hero' and 'heroine' have no problem, or residual psychic pain when it comes to sending souls flying into eternity after a quick bullet to the brain. I cringed every time he or his girlfriend killed somebody and justified it to themselves as the right thing to do.Editing would have made IS IT A CRIME a bit easier to follow. The frequent switch from present to past tense and the sudden point of view changes in the same paragraph slowed the reading. .....
Rating:  Summary: Exceptional reading Review: Get ready for a ride, this was a wonderfully written book. I found myself caught up wanting to know all the details at one time. I read the book in 9 hours. I would love to meet a "Mike Black" myself. Thanks Mr. Glenn for the exciting ride. Looking forward to seeing more of YOUR work in the very near future.

Rating:  Summary: NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Review: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE OTHER FOLKS ARE TALKING ABOUT BUT THIS BOOK WAS OFF THE CHAIN. WHERE CAN I FIND ME A MIKE BLACK CAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF BROTHER I WANT. ROY GLENN WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO L.A. CAUSE I WANT TO MEET YOU TOO? :)
Rating:  Summary: Characters well liked Review: I found the character development strong, but the story line weak. In time Roy Glenn may have a writing career....one day.
Rating:  Summary: Very out-dated Review: I found the story line to be very dated. The characters come straight from the author watching alot of B movies, or reading alot of gansters novels. The story has no surprises, it follows a formula that has been done over and over. The novel is in need of editing in the worse way.
Rating:  Summary: A tale to tell that's told..... Review: I had to ask when this was taking place? 1996. So I'm like 8 years late reading this. So maybe times have changed.
FINALLY someone would capture the reality of a WOMAN in this doggie dog world. One that didn't rely on her womanly ways to bait a man, and DAMN sho' didn't need a man to bail her out. If it's bodies to bag, then get it done! Don't cry about it be about it! I mean Cassandra Sims a.k.a Shy, a descendant of Chi-town she'd put the game on the map and let them know. Check my stats, I'm all balls! NO! Not this book, and NOT this girl. Shy with her dual degrees in management and marketing should have stuck to the books or waiting tables. This fake drug dealer who came across more as a stranded damsel couldn't sense the deception from her own crew, so how would she be able to keep her game going?
ENTER VICIOUS BLACK! World-renowned killer I mean every SHE-Hustla needs a gallant killer to step in and clean up what she messed up doesn't she?
Can you explain to me how a man can earn the tag as VICIOUS... yet he lets the entire world know where he is? Who he's with? And where he rest his head? "Real bad boys move in silence......"
I mean I'm reading this and I'm like come on in the streets this man is VICIOUS! The mere mention of him and his associates is suppose strike fear in your heart....PLEASE!
GET OUTTA HERE!
At best this is a clumsy boy meets girl book that has too many clichés.
'The club is dark, filled with smoke, and crowded. They spot one another from across the room, her guys notice his guys and step to them. Instead she dismisses the boiling drama only to go back the next day where they are formally introduced. Shy meets Mr. Black; that's Mike Black. He saves her life, and...and..."I loved you from the very first moment I saw those eyes." Our Vicious hero says to Cassandra, our damsel in distress. "So do I!" The mere weakling says as she tries to express herself. "Baby, it's not because you've saved me so many times, and I'm just a defenseless fake hustler who loves to eat it's just because!" They kiss hard on the mouth and make meaningless love over and over again as the bad guys are killed and they along with their friends and families live happily ever after.' After all they're billionaires. Do you hear PRINCE as the scene fades .....I WOULD DIE 4 U.....
Even with that said...I really like Roy Glenn. He seems to be an impeccable person that uses very interesting words in this street saga, and for those reasons I'd read other titles.
Rating:  Summary: IS IT A CRIME Review: I just love this book. I thought that the story line was great.. It will be passed around on my job, all the good books are.. Good Luck Mr Glenn, can't wait to read Private Deceptions. If it's anything like this book, then I know it will be great..
Rating:  Summary: I loved it! Review: I read this book sometime ago. I thought it was a wonderful book. This book pulled me in and I felt like I was in it, which is what I love in a book. I can't wait to read any book that Roy Glenn writes. He is a wonderful author.
