About this audiobook
In the prequel to Let That Be the Reason and Imagine This, bestselling author Vickie M. Stringer reveals the long-awaited story of how Pamela and Chino became an urban contemporary Bonnie and Clyde.
Pamela was a naive coed from Detroit, going to classes by day and clubs by night.
The hottest spot was Jazzy Jay’s and that’s where one of the guys slipped his gun in her pocketbook, knowing that the police who had just descended on the club wouldn’t check the girls for weapons.
She didn’t know his name or anything other than he was cute and charming, but when she tracked him down to return his property, she found out his name was Chino, his game was hustling, and his plan was to make her his woman—and give her more than she ever bargained for out of life, love, and the pursuit of money.
