Diamonds and Pearl is a gritty, compelling novel from number-one Essence best-selling author K'wan.

They say that good girls like bad boys, and this was especially true for Pearl Stone, a child born of privilege to a drug baron and reputed killer known in the streets as Big Stone. Although the flashy, fast-paced nature of the streets calls to Pearl, she's been brought up to look but not touch. Yet when a young hustler named Diamonds crawls up from the swamps of Louisiana and sets up shop in New York City, everything Pearl was taught flies out the window.

Raised in the wild and schooled on the mean streets of New Orleans, Diamonds is no stranger to hard times and is willing to do whatever it takes to stay above the poverty line, including kill. When an armed robbery turns into mass murder, Diamonds is forced to flee New Orleans and lands in New York where he meets Pearl and, for the first time, finds something he craves more than wealth and power - love. As the stakes get higher, Diamonds has to push away his past if he's to grab hold of his future. But by doing so, will he show Pearl that not all that glitters is gold?

This book had me sneaking off from work to listen in my car because I was anxious to hear the ending. I was mad at how there was no ending. Where is the sequel????

Great story!

I mean it had great character development and all of that but just a little long and maybe just didn't hold my interest as much as I thought it would.

This book was just okay for me

I truly enjoy K'wan's writing. You are making your mother proud.

This story has twists and turns and a few unexpected moments. You know a story is good/great if it makes you talk back and "Oh Lawd," I've been talking back. I do love urban writing, however, the language can be a bit rough. K'wan does a great job of not overdoing it. This is part of the reason why I am able to finish his books.

Take a gander with K'wan, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

I truly enjoy K'wan's writing.

K’wan didn’t disappoint with this one. There were a lot of characters but I was able to keep up. I didn’t expect that ending.

Good Story
