FORVER A HUSTLER’ S WIFE by Nikki Turner
June 24, 2008 by Daniel
Des, Virginia’s slickest gangsta, is about to become a dad when he is charged with the murder of his own attorney. But with Yarni, his gorgeous wife (and a brilliant lawyer), now calling the shots, Des isn’t going back to the slammer without a fierce fight. Even with heat on, Des manages to take his game to next level and finds a new hustle, one that will allow him to possess the three things all major players desire: money, power, and respect. He becomes a preacher. Reluctantly, Yarni stands by her man as he trades his triple beam scale for a Bible and a Bentley and makes his Church of the Good Life Ministry a welcoming place for all sinners to step up to the altar.
But when Des’s nephew is killed in a high-stakes heroin trade and Des learns that someone close to him okayed the hit, the dyed-in-the-wool gangsta sets aside the Bible for the gospel of the streets – even if it means risking the one person who’s always had his back.

This was an incredible novel! I have to put Forever on all time favorite hood fiction list with, Wifey by Kiki Swinson, The Risk of Chance by Kole Black, Shiesty by TN Baker & True to The Game by Teri Woods. These books set standard for street fiction author. Either come wit’ it or don’t come at all! Forever a Hustler’s Wife is OFF THA CHAIN!
I thought Forever A Hustler’s Wife was HOTAZHELL! Yarni surprised my tho’, he is cold blooded!!! But I have to agree with midgitmac too> It reminded alot of “The Chance She Took” by Kole Black. Not to take anything away from Nikki Turner, but it was just a similar feel to the story. But they were both hot2def! I really enjoyed all of Nikki Turner’s books, 4real.
