Description
Book Synopsis
Tarris Marie's debut novel intertwines crime, romance, and the '90s era. A refreshing new voice for urban romance lovers and women's crime thriller connoisseurs. Before her Hollywood dreams were shattered, Pearle Monalise Brown was the tenacious aspiring actress from Compton's unforgiving, scarred streets. Never broken, Pearle switches gears to a fallback plan--resorting to her beauty and acting skills to swindle money and expensive jewels. When she's hired by the Colombian cartel to steal a priceless Basquiat from the debonair kingpin and art collector, Blaque, her talents might not be enough to keep her from falling into a trap she never saw coming. Blaque is sagacious and handsome--not to mention the legacy of two powerful organized crime families: the Laurent's--known dons hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, and the Savage's--a sophisticated syndicate with criminal enterprises across the U.S. As Blaque and Pearle become passionately entangled, Pearle falls prey to a darker underworld. Time is ticking. Lives are at stake. Will these love outlaws be able to outsmart their enemies, or will they wage an all-out war, leaving the bodies to fall wherever they may? "Both inspirational and a delight to watch, Tarris Marie is proof that limits and barriers exist only in our minds." --N'TYSE, national bestselling author and film producer of Trap SoldiersReview Quotes

Blaque Pearle Fan Club - 11 months ago
The Blaque Pearle book is an amazing journey. I purchased a hard copy of the book and the Audible version. I finished the whole book in one setting during a business trip from Detroit to the west coast. I could not stop listening to the book. It was like listening to a movie due to the vivid descriptions, captivating characters, complex storylines and feeling of unfiltered nostalgia. I have been trying to get the unique characters out of my mind for weeks. Some books have the awesome ability to stain your brain, touch your emotions, elevate your senses and spark inspired creativity. This book allows you to paint your own mental pictures as you follow a literary and soon to be cinematic thriller. We all have experience works that are unforgettable and seem to leave you captured in a period of time. This is one of those unquestionable must haves in your collection of fictional literature geared for mature adults who enjoy unpredictable twists. The quotes, entertaining beginning, consistent creativity, and masterful ending will have you plotting on storylines for a potential sequel. I had the unexpected pleasure of reading the work of an upcoming powerhouse in entertainment due to the strong recommendations of my wife. I will support future projects from this author. You will not be disappointed with a purchase for your collection.
