Older, wiser and a li’l more heartless India Black is existing, but she isn’t living. After the tragic death of her first love, she’s been financially cut off by her mother and making it on her own in Philly. Full-time college student by day and bottle girl at a popular strip club by night, India is trying her best to make ends meet but barely getting by. After the day from hell, her life is turned upside down when she meets the elusive, menacing, cocky as hell, king of Philly, Dream. Filthy rich and fine as hell, Keanu Dessalines Baptiste aka Dream, runs the streets of Philly with an iron fist. All he knows is money, madness and murder. With a snap of his fingers, he can turn his enemies into a mere memory. Born with the weight of being next in line to run the Baptiste crime family, he wants to live life on his own terms but being a Don comes with rules and allegiances he can’t forsake. For India, Dream is everything she’s been trying to avoid but the one man she can’t get out of her system. From the moment they meet, their undeniable chemistry takes over and all they can see is each other, but their past traumas, dysfunctional families and callous ways threaten to end them before they even begin. What will happen when these two broken hearts collide? Will they let go and let love in or will their pride and outside forces shatter their cracked hearts to pieces?

I loved indie in this book. She was bold, she was a risk taker. The thing that stood out to me the most was her pride. She was practically homeless almost but she used her brain & street Smarts to get by. She could’ve called her parents for help but she didn’t. She figured it out with the help of her new love interest. I like dream tho he’s cut throat rough around the edges but India captured his heart. I love how Dream let his hard exterior down & let indie know how he really felt. This story was pretty good. I would definitely recommend this book!!! King K” definitely didn’t!!! Disappoint in this book. It ended so quick tho😕 but I definitely can’t wait to pick back up & see where Dream & Indie love story end.

Wow this story is unlike anything I’ve ever read from Keisha and I’m here for it. I love reading about the mafia and this did not disappoint. India is so cool and different from any other female character I’ve read she’s smart and her vibe is everything. Dream was cunning and alluring. As a philly girl I normally don’t like authors that write about the city that aren’t from here but Keisha got the essence of the city. From the locations to the proper use of our slang( yes jawn is a noun people lol ) I was beyond pleased. I want to know what’s next for India and Dream . Also, wth is going on with Chyna! Lol
As a long tome reader I like this change of pace and I’m ready for more.
Btw Ryan who?

I was a bit apprehensive before reading dream because I was so in love with the India that I was first introduced to. But this India she’s so much more mature a bit wiser and I loved that. I love that Keisha didn’t make me feel like okay so what happened with the old India she just grew her up! The book was amazing. I’m really rooting for India to have a happy ending because it took her mom forever to find happiness and peace and I just can’t get dragged through the ringer again with India. I love dream, I knew he was just a traumatized little boy acting out on hurt. The problem is though now that he has latched his self on to India the first emotional connection to a woman since his mother this could become a bloody red situation for India is she doesn’t play her cards right, cause that man is crazy and takes his personal connections seriously. She better cross the street when she see another man cause Dream will have her had if he even think she blinked or inhaled when a dude pass her. I love them! Wait or this could be a bloody red situation for anyone who try’s to get between him and India! We’ll see hunni we’ll see!

First thing Dream is an AH! Just when i thought he couldn’t surprise me more with his disrespectful ass mouth, he did! But I loved him. I loved India. And i loved them together. This book is sooo well written. The characters had me dancing in me seat, laughing, and needing a break when they tripped out. I love a book that takes me through all the emotions. Bravo, KE! You did your thang with this!

Bow down to the Queen of Urban Fiction. Dream…Is another classic and banger. Can you say Bestseller? I can. As an avid reader of your books 📖 Ms. Ervin, I can truly see the growth in your writing. You’re writing style is so descriptive and captivating to me as a reader. I laughed , cried, screamed at the pages, and reminisced about my own childhood. Every time I read one of your books, you leave me on the edge of my seat. After reading the end of the epilogue to Dream, I can’t wait to see what’s nexts for the two young lovers…(Dream and India Black) Thank you for continuing to gift us with classic and endless novels.
I love me some Dream. He’s sexy, edgy, and cocky. I understand why he was guarded and didn’t want to give him heart away after witnessing the brutal Murder of his mother.
My girl India is just so lovely and remind me of Chyna, but their characteristics were so different. I love their mother/daughter relationship. And Chyna wasn’t going to let no man play with her baby girl.

Keisha has done it again with another page turner. I could not put the book down and was very sad that it ended. I love that Dream is so different from what I expected him to be. I love that he’s not the typical male lead character. Ms. Ervin definitely showed her creativity when she penned his character and this book period. I love India’s no nonsense go getter attitude. She’s about her money and education; and makes away when life throws her a curve ball. This book made me laugh, ready to curse, smile, and definitely handed out some love lessons that I could appreciate. I’m in love with their love story and cannot wait to see what comes next with them!! Hoping for the best and on edge for the worst…

I love the character building in this series! I love how Dream was hard to like at first. This book was hard to put down once I started.

Dear Miss Keisha Ervin
I have a bone to pick with you. Dream has my emotions all over the place. He is my second favorite male character after Cam who will forever hold the number one spot, and Quan & Dame who are neck and neck at third. I absolutely loved this book. From the very first sentence to the very last chapter this book pulled me in. Dream & India’s dynamic is off the charts. I love that they were so well written. The supporting cast was dope to. Atalya, Cree, Fatback, Wiz, Towanda & the sprinkle of Ms. Chyna Danea Black was so dope. Nina & Papa can kick rocks. The Baptiste family is something else. I loved the way Dream loved his mother, hopefully over time he will pour that same love into India. Keisha you have done it again, your books are fire 🔥!!! I can’t wait until the next installment of the Dream series, Chyna Black’s new book, & Cam and Gray’s final book!!! This book was worth every penny. Trust me when I say, if you ain’t read a Keisha Ervin novel you been missing out!
