Yardies: A Jamaican Love Story

Written by Kelly Papyrus

Narrated by Janina Edwards

Since childhood, Kaya has always known Daniel as the most annoying and intriguing boy on her parents’ campground. He's also the one boy her parents warned her to stay away from, claiming their families have hated each other since long before they left Jamaica. But as Kaya and Daniel get older, they start to suspect there is more to the story, answers they can get only by investigating the past together.
When she and Daniel head off with a group of friends on a secret trip to Jamaica, Kaya finally sees an opportunity to get to the real truth… until she and Daniel find themselves kidnapped by a mutual enemy of both families. Only by working together — and learning to trust each other — will they be able to get away and confront the real truth.

[SIMONE PERRONE · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Yardies: A Jamaican Love Story, was my first written by Ms. Papyrus. The book was ok. No disrespect to Ms. Papyrus, however I did understand the correlation between Everton, Faith and the Charles’. More so, why kidnap Kaya?; How did Sasha get rescued? How is this book a love story? It sounds more like a nightmare. …dang, did I fall asleep? More questions than answers.
