Editorial Review:
The Lou is heading for a storm. After the judicial system fails to keep him behind bars, Kiley Jacoby Abrams in How Can I Be Down?, can be described as a weapon of mass destruction. Almost ten years later, he's made his way back home and searches for the ones who deceived him and plotted to bring him down. Staying on the right track, this time around, is not on his agenda. When Quincy's release date is near, due to the detective's screw-ups that led to his arrest, all hell is going to break loose. Without no justice, there certainly won't be no peace. Desmon, Kiley's now fifteen-year-old son, is determined to make sure there is no peace. He's furious about the life that was chosen for him, but continues to follow in his father's footsteps. Unable to keep his own self out of trouble, Kiley's life is bound to take a turn for the worst. His trust and love for women continue to be his downfall, but will he allow it to bring him down once again? He'll realize the power of his freedom, but by then, it just might be too late.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - somewhat disappointing
Thus far I've been a fan of Ms. Hampton but she lost me on this one. Once you can't get past the obvious lack of editing the story does hold your attention if you can get past the use of the word Moreso over and over. The character returns to the same ol' thing he was jailed for. In summary, same story, same character same ending.
Rating:  - That Sexy Kiley Jacoby !!!!!
I am a huge fan of Brenda M. Hampton, I have enjoyed reading all of her books Jaylins still my MAN! I have had mixed feelings about this one. I enjoyed it, but it didn't have that RUSH that Brenda is know to give me. The first part of this book How Can I Be Down..I loved that one. In this book I felt Brenda really didn't know what to do with Kiley so she kept him in a bunch of un-necessary drama. And Candi that's what you get. I just can't wait to see what Brenda has in store for us next.
Rating:  - NOTHING LESS THAN THE BEST
Brenda gives us nothing less than the best as she always does in No Justice No Peace. What can I say? If you have read her other novels then you know every book she writes is the bomb. I thought that I would be crying to hard over the ending of Jalin's novels to really get emotionally involved with Kiley, but I was so wrong. Brenda weaves a web of sex, love, hustling, murder, family bonds, and then some in this novel. I truly loved it. Brenda Hampton is the best author out there. Not many authors ... Read More
Rating: - Speechless...
I am speechless right now. (Now I must say, that normally, I am really outspoken, so for a "book" to have me speechless is saying a lot..) I am a HUGE Brenda Hampton fan, and with this book she did not disappoint. Mrs. Hampton, you are my #1 author. Keep up the good work. I will read them as quick as you write them girl!
Anyway, This book definitely had me speechless..The first book, "How can I be down?" was good, but the sequel was definitely better. I loved this book from start ... Read More
