Tomorrow Ice-T and Coco release a real couple of books to match their reality tv coupledom. After reading both books, I have to save that I think Ice-T loves to read a little more than Coco, and Coco just really loves a three-letter word. I think you know the one, but find out for sure after the jump.

Angel by Nicole “Coco” Marrow & Laura Hayden
Once I got over the delusion that this book would only be rated “R” I got into it-as the character did repeatedly. (I’m just saying that Fabio might as well be on the cover about to sink into some damsel in distress.)
This book follows Angel as she recovers her memory, the sole survivor of a tragic plane crash on the Hudson River. On the literary side, the sex scenes (the many, many sex scenes) are well-written; the reader even gets to feel Angel’s sentiments for her partners. Other that that, the plot is complete deus ex machina and lacks imagery outside of a description of Angel every other page.
This writing duo keeps the action up in more ways that one and sprinkles in a few real moments. I will say that the story was original, and I never did see the next turn coming. This read is poolside, unless someone asks you to read aloud. In that case, keep it away from children and your especially prude friends.

VS.

Kings Of Vice by Ice-T & Mal Radcliff
When Marcus “Crush” Casey hits the NYC streets fresh out of jail with his son’s murder fresh in his mind, he seeks to handle the old debts with a new approach. As the storyline progresses, the reader exhausts back alleys, brandy glasses, and 90’s-style street talk to find Crush’s arch enemy. Crush pounds his old routes, creating an army of “soldiers” he promised the kingpins still locked up.
Despite his out of touch approach to street slang, I have to give Ice-T his props as far as the plot is concerned: it’s realistic and only shows a few subtle touches of Law & Order: SVU writing. His use of suspense is thrilling and mostly makes up for lack of other literary devices. Not to mention, this book actually pays more respect to women than Coco’s. If you need a good read for a long trip, pick this one up. Just be warned you’re going to learn more about Ice-T’s street gang fantasies that literature.
