Pearl Tongue

Dallas Diamonds Series

By: Tyrone Bentley

Narrated by: Patricia R. Floyd

With a drug addict mother and a drug lord father, Aphtan learns how to fend for herself at an early age. Being the princess of an empire has its perks - until her father gets arrested. From stealing clothes and food to committing fraud, Aphtan does what she has to do to take care of her mother and herself. But when her schemes prove problematic, she turns to a new hustle: dancing at Pearl Tongue, the most notorious strip club in Texas.

For Aphtan, the job's fast money means security. Addicted to the cash, she promises herself she'll never stop - until her new man, Scooter, makes her. In love, Aphtan trades in the pole for the life of a housewife. But nothing lasts forever and Scooter's past ultimately catches up with them - bringing secrets to the surface that destroy their relationship.

Devastated, Aphtan needs a shoulder to cry on - and it belongs to Scooter's brother, Cole. Now, between betrayal, lies, murder, and a robbery that may force her to leave town for good, Aphtan's heart - and her life - is on the line.

The way the daughter moved I liked her style

That the daughter died overall it was a good book it was definitely worth the credit

💯 great book

loved it. This book was well worth it seems as how this was my first time reading from this author.

Aphtan

I really enjoyed this book. The beginning to middle was great. The end was a little confusing. I wished a different ending for aphtan. I also would like to know we're was her fathers woman like we're did she disappear to? Also what happened to sultan and her little boy. Well hope there is a part two. I would recommend this book.

Storyline

Storyline had potential to be great but it disappointed me . It killed main characters abruptly and much too fast. Especially with the dad. Like come on dude, wtf was that 😂. Storyline made it seem like he was on his way back to the top then all of a sudden he accepts his faith with death 🤦🏾‍♂️ A different narrator would have been better too. She did an excellent job, but her voice is not built for urban hood novels. THE ENDING WAS TERRIBLE .

Sad

Excellent book but the evil Scooter got away with too much!!! I feel sorry for Cole.
