Speechless: When Love Hurts keeps the same energy of Book 1 and author BriAnn Danae does not let up at all. Though fast paced with some pretty stereotypical characters: gangsters, dope boys and wannabe bosses, strippers and “ghetto girls,” the story is still pretty engaging and there’s a significant amount of character development that is uncommon in urban lit. This book, book 2, ends with a cliffhanger that lets readers know that D-Rock and Brooke just might get what they deserve for being a liars and a cheaters. Hopefully book 3 does a good job at wrapping up the many loose but interconnected ends for a solid urban lit trilogy.
