Money or Mayhem Review
 
ABOUT THE BOOK
After his affair with Lana goes public, Leo is now jobless, broke, stressed and having to deal with his jaded wife who won't let him see his two kids. He can't afford a lawyer, so he takes up drug dealing for a major gang in town to be able to live. 

Travis is part of a task force investigating one of the city's most dangerous gangs. He must work undercover to get to the boss, Big P. During the investigation, his paths cross with Leo and he gets Leo to flip and work for them with dangerous and deadly consequences. Can they stay alive to see their loved ones or will the love of money be the end of the both of them?
 
MY REVIEW
3.5 out of 5 stars
The first book in A Series of Choices, Closure or Ammo, centered around the complexity and complications of love and relationships. The second installation has a more dangerous premise – drug trafficking. While Closure or Ammo was told from the perspective of Lana and Val, Money and Mayhem follows their love interests in the prior installment, Leo and Travis. In the novella, Leo and Travis deal not only with love and relationships but with the danger that comes with dealing with gangs and drug trafficking. Exploring the difficult concepts of right and wrong, loyalty, and greed, Money and Mayhem is an exciting and entertaining light erotic novella that is sure to keep readers interested.
 
While Money and Mayhem is more entertaining and exciting than the prior installment, Closure or Ammo, I have a few issues with the novella. I believe that the plot could have been fleshed out more and the female characters could have had more profound substantial characterization rather than just being pregnant or women that the male characters objectify and have sex with. Due to this, despite the fact that the novella is exciting and has a satisfying twist at the end, I must give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
