Wow! Jahquel J. did her thing with 10,000 Hours with a Rich Menace ! I absolutely loved this book. If you've read Jahquel’s other works, you've already gotten a glimpse of Maverick "Menace" Caselli The Ghost, the Menace, the mastermind behind Case House, and one-third of the most powerful families. We know he has OCD, and we know he's a bit unhinged, but what I wasn’t prepared for was just how lovable and real he would be.
One of the standout aspects of this book was how Jahquel portrayed OCD and ADHD in adults. She showed how these conditions manifest in unique ways, particularly in someone as meticulous and intense as Menace. It made his character so much more layered and authentic.
Then there’s Stevie our free-spirited artist with a heart of gold. She’s always been the cousin Skyler has to protect, and unfortunately, her trusting nature sometimes leads her into trouble. That’s exactly what happens when she unknowingly gets wrapped up in a mess with her best friend, Pricilla who has her stealing money from Menace Caselli without realizing it. And when the truth comes out? Whew! Stevie finds herself kidnapped and given one way to repay her debt (a marriage of convenience) with Menace. And that’s when things get messy!
This book had me cracking up from start to finish. The banter, the quirks, the 500 nicknames they had for each other it was all so endearing. It’s no surprise that their “business arrangement” turned into something real. Watching Menace crash out over Stevie and treat her like a queen was everything.
This story had romance, humor, drama, and that signature Jahquel J. storytelling that keeps you hooked. 10,000 Hours with a Rich Menace is an unforgettable ride, and I loved every moment of it!
