The high priestess of the hood, Nikki Turner, is back with the novel fans have been feenin' for- the sequel to her #1 bestselling novel, A Hustler's Wife. 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 the heat on, Des manages to take his game to the 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 in 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 the 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 book is a must have!!! I have read almost all of Nikki's book and this is one of her best. IT keeps you turning pages. Even if you haven't read A Hustler's Wife you still can pick this up and feel as though you have been following along with the characters the whole time. And if you did read A hustler's wife, you don't feel like you are being hand fed the same details from the past book. EVERYTHING FLOWS SO WELL. If you are a fan of fast moving, writing that puts you right in the streets.......then this book is for you!!!
THE BOMB!!!!!

Another great drama. The book is a page turner. Nothing disappointing about about this one. A Hustler is a Hustler no matter how u do it! Nikki just keep doing your thang. And I was happy that Des carried that gold book with him, and I'm sure Yarni is too!!
Always and Forever

Yarni and Des are back in FOREVER A HUSTLER'S WIFE. After spending ten years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, two years later, Des finds himself fighting another murder charge. Of course, by his side is his "ride or die" wife, Yarni, a brilliant attorney who has dedicated her life to assisting brothers caught up in the legal system. Anxious to make up for lost time, Des returns to the streets with a vengeance. At the funeral of a close friend, Des stumbles on the perfect hustle, becoming a minister. He closes the hustling chapter of his life, and begins anew at The Good Life Ministry. However, peace in the hood never lasts long and demons from his family's past try to destruct the inner sanctum of their family. Will Des be able to conquer the evil around the corner or will it be his downfall? Nikki Turner is sure to please her fans with the sequel to her best selling novel, A Hustler's Wife. Not only does Turner give an ending to Des and Yarni's story, she also manages to answer some lingering questions from her other novels. FOREVER HUSTLER'S WIFE is filled with enough twists, turns and drama that when you realize that you are on the last page, you will be disappointed. Turner's fans will appreciate the effort she put into this novel because it is one of the best books of the year. If you have not read, A Hustler's Wife, then do so because you will not understand the sequel. But if you have, be ready to enjoy the literary ride of your life.

This book was chosen for my book club, I was a little skeptical because I hadn't read the first one. Needless to say I finished it in 2 days!!! I loved this book and despite the fact that I had not read the first one I was still able to follow the entire story line. However, I will be reading the first one ASAP. The ending was a little odd to me which only means one thing....It's a TRILOGY!
