In Love with a Thug

By Reginald L. Hall

A controversial new novel from critically acclaimed Essence bestseller Reginald L. Hall explores the attraction of dating a bad boy from an entirely new angle.

During college, Juan Jiles fell in love with Darrell, who convinced Juan to help him rob one of Philadelphia's largest banks. During the heist, Darnell is killed, and Juan escapes with more than $175,000. After mourning the loss of his lover, Juan begins rebuilding his life and uses the money to open a popular celebrity hair salon.

Then along comes Bryant Thompson, a street thug with drugs, drama, and deception in tow. Juan falls in love with the hustling, muscle-bound Bryant and soon succumbs to Bryant's addictive world. Juan's life starts to spin out of control, and he realizes that his meeting Bryant didn't happen by chance.

A story of a man doomed by passion, In Love with a Thug is by turns a humorous, tragic, and hard-hitting look at the cost of destructive love and the price some pay for true happiness.

Leave Those Thugs Alone (token)

I took awhile to read this book and I'm sorry I waited so long. This is one of the best books I have read. This book is in a class of it's own. It's going to pull u in, capture u, and hold u until the end. A plot, drama, and smut it's here and it gets told and unwrapped w/out rules. This author keeps u wanting more. Mr. Hall I love ya work, keep doing what u do. Kudos and a job well done.

Gay Thug?

I did'nt know that how it went down, I felt this book was good he told a story of a gay man name Juan, who was as dump as they come, he let them dudes straight run him all the while he giving it 100%. I like the author's stlye he told a tell of Gay love like I never read before. At times I felt a little uneasy reading it because he told every detail to the T. It had drama over drama, very fast pace always something going on. He was the pretty gay guy who was misused and abused by every gay thug he fell in love with, sometimes I did'nt know if he was simple or just plain dumb, Giving it all up for what something you already got, stupid! Thanks Reginald for a good book
