He Who Is a Friend

Sadik, Book 1

Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination.

He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I'd sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own thriving businesses, and self-obtained wealth. However, the Ellis family was known for their long underbelly ruling of the state of New Jersey. When Sadik assured his life was separate of his father's, I believed him each time.

I fell completely and dangerously head over heels for him. And, my God, all the red flags were there. Yet I ignored them all, throwing caution to the winds of naivety just to add a little spice to my mundane world.

A world that will never be the same because I allowed it to be infiltrated by an Ellis.

Contains mature themes.

Sadik kept this book in the road

Sadik was the star of this book, not Bilan! Bilan was absolutely under the influence and trauma of her family. Good read that keeps getting better.

Good!!!

So, I started reading this book awhile back and put it down when it appeared that the MMC was in an interracial relationship. I am so happy I downloaded this book. Sadik Ellis is that dude and is definitely going on my list of good BDE!
He didn’t play about “The Rules of Intimacy”.

Bilan was annoyingly immature at times, but she knew it and couldn’t help herself. I loved hearing about the unconventional relationship of the Elder Ellises.

The narrators did an outstanding job!
I look forward to the rest of the story.

Indeed

Omg - I read the book years ago. Hearing this audio version was priceless. I had forgotten the twist and turns. I’m going back and read the second book because I can’t wait for the audio. I love the narrators of this book. It truly match the hard copy I read. Yes I’ve read many family sagas but this one - the Ellis family - rolls deeper than any other - the Union of Saqqid and Bilan love story is very unique. Yes I highly recommend this book.

Dominant male

If u like stories with young inexperienced women and powerful rich dominant bossy male character…this book is for you

Swoon Worthy

This was such a good, and suspenseful love story. I love when the MMC is ALL in from the beginning!
