Junior Duncan was a man in love.
He never thought he could feel this way, but Sonya made him
crazy-happy. She was beautiful, smart, sexy - and though he
didn’t know it at first, she was also the wife of Brother
Xavier, murderous leader of the Duncan family’s biggest
rivals. So on the day that Junior’s proposal to Sonya led to
death threats, the Duncans circled the wagons.
Sonya tried hard to stay away from Junior, to protect him
and his family, but it wasn’t possible; she knew that Xavier
would kill the entire Duncan family in a second but she
loved Junior too much. When he vowed to protect her, she ran
away with him, hoping their escape wouldn’t lead to harm (or
worse!) for everyone they loved.
Brother X was insane with jealousy and anger. If he couldn’t
have Sonya, then nobody could, and he’d start looking for
her by doing as much damage as he could to Junior Duncan’s
family. But first, he had to break out of prison and then he
had to try to broker a deal with Bernie Goldman and his men.
Gathering warriors was important now. What Junior did with
X’s wife meant war.
Paris Duncan had always been Daddy’s Girl. Patriarch LC had
taught his baby girl how to shoot, fight and kill, and now
Paris was one of the Duncan Family’s best soldiers. She’d
even assassinated the man she loved because it needed doing.
But it practically killed Paris when LC was shot in the
chest by someone he knew.
It was widely known on the streets that nobody messed with
Vegas Duncan. Fresh out of prison, Vegas was ready to take
his usual position of security in the Duncan Family but the
growing war with Brother X… it concerned him. There could be
a lot of bloodshed with this kind of street-fighting. Vegas’
mentor offered to help quiet troubled waters, but would
Minister Farah’s intercession be enough?
Action, sex, drugs, and violence – this book has all that
packed between its covers. It’s gangsta gone gang-busters.
And it’s kind of ho-hum.
In The Family Business 3, the women are all
beautiful, scantily-clad, and oversexed. The men are all
tall, handsome sure-shots and oversexed. There’s the usual
gay brother who crushes on a thug, violent twins, baby-daddy
drama, a “dirty cop” on the dole and ethnic mafias
everywhere.
Sigh.
Yes, author Carl Weber (with Treasure Hernandez) includes
just what you’d expect in a book like this. And yes, it’s
tired.
Having said that, though, if you’ve read the first two
Family Business novels, you’ll undoubtedly want to know
what happens next. You’re probably wondering now, so go
ahead. Put Family Business 3 on your shelf. But I
wouldn’t be grabbing it first…
