Receiving gifts.

I wasn’t ashamed to admit my love language aloud. At least not anymore. It took me a while to come to terms with how it needed to be received, but one bold move changed all of that.

Dealing with a man like Judah McKnight, there was no need to worry about my needs being met. He fulfilled them without being told to do so. It was a rare trait, but I deserved it. I deserved him, and he made sure to let that be known. He was all for me and came equipped with a plethora of thoughtful gifts. Ones that were sure to leave me wanting more.

“I thought I could have anything I wanted?” She asked boldly, invading his personal space.
“You told me what you wanted but, tell me what it is that you need. ‘Cause the way you pressin’ up on me, I’ma give you exactly what you asking for.” M’kay Big Judah. 😏

Getting played by her coworker has Mikki wanting to put a pin in love and relationships. But, my girl is a hopeless romantic and she wants in on all this HEA her girls have found. When Judah took over his dad’s company, he wasn’t expecting the future Mrs. McKnight to come sashayin’ into the conference room. Judah was the man Mikki has been prayin’ for. He was a man of substance, he listened when she talked, and he fed into her love language. BriAnn really got me over thinkin’ hard about what my love language is and how I can manifest my own man of substance. Somebody drop Ciara’s prayer. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I really enjoyed this series and I’m sad to see it come to an end. These ladies and their salacious shenanigans will live rent free in my head for quite a while.

It’s still Big Boy Season 🥰

Mikki getting played by Xavier wasn’t how I wanted this book to start but the prize being her experiencing Judah made it worth that small L! This was such a cute fun erotic short! I love how BriAnn can give you a fully loaded story within a short book! I loved everything about Mikki and Judah! It’s giving a true Boss! I won’t say too much but this was a good addition to an already great series! I want that office scene for me! 🫣🔥

Mikki said she is not about to get left behind in the love department. Her friends are accepting proposals and expanding their families and she’s overjoyed for them but she’s also ready for her time to come and for her to find a love she deserves especially after an office romance turns to be some office drama.

Judah said big boys need love too and they can give it just as good if not better than the skinny 🥷’s. Mikki and Judah first crossed paths when he sent her drinks at the bar. From there he knew that if he saw her again, shots would be shot! And that’s exactly what happened.

I love a big boy romance because if there’s one thing they gone do is make sure you eat!! That’s a love language on its own ☺️. We got a cameo of my fav during date night and what he had planned was the perfect experience! Judah was pulling out all the stops and had my sis Mikki ready to live that soft girl life and I loved that for her!

This was such a good series and I’m sad to see it come to an end! These couples and friends were such a joy to read about! Briann smoked tf out of this series and the play on love languages was chefs kiss! If you haven’t already read them, get into it!

Great Series Finale

Each book in this series had its own unique vibe and storyline. I loved how each developed and honestly want to join the group chat 🤣 Can we give a round of applause to each friend finding a man of substance. Forget Ciara’s prayer, this friend circle’s prayer is what we need. BriAnn has forced me to explore what my love language truly is and work on manifesting what I deserve. These books are empowering. I recommend to anyone who is on a healing and discovery journey 😉

Big Judah not the lil one !!! This man did not play about Mikki since the beginning.

This was definitely a nice wrap up for the series. Out of all 6 books #2 & this one are my favorite.
I actually read all of these with my book club (BWRT) & we had the pleasure of meeting BriAnn in our last meeting 🥰 I love her so bad !! Join us ✨

Bossy Love

🎵🎶You the boss...You, you, you the boss, ayy🎶🎵 is what Judah had Mikki singing. 

After finding out her work bae was in fact a cheater and liar Mikki was hesitant about relationships especially in the work place. However, one random encounter with Judah and their connection was clear. Finding out that he would be her boss was giving a yellow flag, she had to proceed with caution. Howwver, there was no need because Judah moved like the boss he was. Ayyye we love a real BOSS 🤵🏾‍♀️ He played no games and made sure he was very clear in his intentions. I loved that he was observant and a great listener and then put what he learned about her into action. It's all so simple and he made it so easy for her to fall for him and on him 🤭 

Loved this series. Each book gave just enough for us to get to know each friend and their baes.

BRIANN DOES IT AGAIN

Anything by Ms BriAnn imma eat up. I enjoyed this story just as much as the others in the series. I enjoyed that the MMC was chubby! I absolutely adored this story, and one of my love languages is receiving gifts so I really enjoyed it. However, I do feel like it could’ve been more story, and character development. Still 4⭐️

Mikki's Journey to Love

This series absolutely blew me away! I tore through all six books like there was no tomorrow. The balance was just perfect—enough backstory to get you invested, a compelling storyline to keep you hooked, the right touch of romance to make you swoon, and a dash of spice to keep things interesting. I'm seriously craving more. And Mikki? Finally snagging her man was the cherry on top. She deserves the world, and I have no doubt Judah's going to spoil her rotten, and then some.

Receiving Gifts

I absolutely love gifting others as well as receiving gifts myself. When people hear that receiving gifts is a love language, they usually think of gold diggers or someone that is materialistic and that's soo far from the truth. At least in mine and Mikki's case.

This was a fast, sweet, spicy read. Judah's gifts to Mikki were so thoughtful and intentional. I am so glad that BriAnn avoided extravagance and focused on meaning. I'm also glad that our girl got hers!

4.5/5 stars

I'm so sad this is the last book of this novella series fr. Genuinely enjoyed this series and wish there were more!! These are so digestible and perfect if you need a quick read to pass the time on a commute, or just want something quick to read! (Totally didnt pick up this series to get my reading goal up 😭 .....but it was super worth it!!)

This was WOW 💯

Listen listen listen BriAnn you did that I don’t know what it is but out of all the books in the series imma have to say this one is my favorite maybe I’m going to have to reread the others again before I make my final decision but this one made me smile the whole time and enjoy it from beginning to end to catching up with the girlfriends and seeing how life is treating them good as it should to then getting our little update on the good life of Torin and Synovi which made me miss them to then getting all of BDE JUDAH and lil miss thickums Mikki made my breath catch in my throat because their chemistry, energy and everything about them just made me love them. I really hope we get future updates on these group of people and their genuine love and dynamics and how life is for them with continuous blessings coming their way. I did not want this book to end I wanted to continue reading on Judah and mikki like Judah made sure to pay attention to the world of mikki and come correct at her on all points that it’s not a surprise that she was hook lined and sinked in him because who wouldn’t be. Judah was so smooth with his words he was a lyricist to me 🤣🤣. I really love BriAnn’s book world💗
People read the book it’s all that and then some ‼️

• FAVORITE QUOTES:
• MULTI – POV: No – third person POV
• REVIEW: READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS: ALL OF THEM!! This book dives headfirst into a whirlwind of intense themes that are sure to captivate you! Meet the characters: Mikki: A curvy powerhouse, with a great job as an underwriter. Best friends with Sevyn, Kema and Ember. She is closer to Kema but nonetheless the crew has an unbreakable bond. But she’s missing one key element: love and a man of her own that will treat her with respect and support her. Judah: Son of Mikki’s boss, but Judah isn’t spoiled or entitled. He takes care of business and steps up to the plate when his time comes to take over the business. Spoiler Alert! This story is a quick-paced novella, but don’t let that fool you; the plot and spice blend together so seamlessly that you'll be wishing for more pages. Mikki is out to Lunch with a pregnant Ember and as they’re enjoying their meal, Judah sends her a drink. Neither knows the other, it’s just two attractive people saying hello and having a chance meeting. Fast forward and they meet again, this time in a meeting announcing that Judah is taking over. Though they try to fight the attraction, you can imagine what happens next . Let’s just say it’s all worth it and this man has come in and delivered everything that Mikki needs. He mends the heart that was brutally broken and it was an amazing read.. As, stated before, what I love most is how the author uplifts African American characters without falling into stereotypes. Instead of being portrayed as loud or caught up in negativity, these characters are smart, entrepreneurial, and fiercely supportive of one another. The bonds between them are unbreakable, showcasing a beautiful sense of community and empowerment. If you’re looking for a story that celebrates love and ambition while breaking molds, look no further! I’m definitely on board to read more from BriAnn. You won’t want to miss this one!

I loved seeing Torin make an appearance and Synovi briefly being mentioned. This was cool not my favorite one and Mikki was really a quiet character in all the other books so I just didn’t feel that connected to her. I would have loved Ember & Phallon to get another story since Luxe & Pressure got another one and they’re happily ever after, cause Ember and her pregnancy was too cute!

What was Judah’s accent was that ever made clear or did I miss it? Also it wasn’t a turn on that he fired Xavier and she looked at it as protection. He embarrassed her and hurt her feelings when they were involved but that shouldn’t have led to his termination, he abused his power and I didn’t like that.

Also them having sex in his office and saying because he’s the boss it’s okay was idk I could have went without, it seems all his responses were because he was “the boss”. Mikki shouldn’t want to get caught with the “Boss” it seems she worked hard to get where she got and have her own little office, she knows how fast rumors swirl around in the office.

Anywho my time has come to an end with this lovely friend group and their men. It was a fun ride.

❛❜ The acknowledgment that he paid attention to her interests and likes, then delivered gifts related to them to make her day made Mikki want to cry. It was purposeful and meant more to her than she could form into words. ❛❜

i just finished All For You by BriAnn Danae and it was a solid 5/5 stars. Judah is officially top-tier book boyfriend material. [ i fear ALL these men were😭😌] the way he was a total gentleman but also made it clear he didn't play about Mikki? SWOON. the workplace romance trope was done so well, but what really got me were the gifts. he gave her things that were so important to her without even knowing the backstory. that is a MAN. i’m going to miss this girl group so much—their bond was everything. i’m crossing my fingers for a novella or a recap book because I need to know what everyone (especially Ember!) is up to.

if you want a series that is funny, spicy, and completely bingeable, look no further. Ms. BriAnn Danae, you have a new fan for life! ✨📖💗

“That man literally feeds my soul when I’m with him.”

Tropes:
Receiving Gifts Love Language
Persistent MMC
Love After Heartbreak
Knowing Your Worth

Mikki, who is absolutely not about to be the only one left behind while everyone else is boo’d up. Enter Judah McKnight, a man who was never here for games—he knew exactly what he wanted, and it was Mikki. It was only a matter of time before he got her.

Before she could fully step into that, though, Mikki had to take a major L with Xavier (and yes… trash individual). That relationship was painful, but necessary, because it led her straight into knowing her worth—and Judah made sure she never forgot it. He met her needs without being told, especially through thoughtful gestures that spoke louder than words.

I truly love this series so much, and I’m honestly sad this is the last book. Judah and Mikki were the perfect way to close it out—intentional, affirming, and deeply satisfying.

Glorified Harassment

What⁉️…Hmmm 🤔⁉️…”All For You (Erotic Love Language - Book 6” had the potential to complete this series with a culminating themes of friendship, love, sacrifice and adoration in otherwise superb storylines. Judah, the second he became “the boss” even if the title was “interim” fraternization with Mikki (and on the premises of Polar) should be perceived as an abuse of power if not harassment. A perfect example, Xavier was an idiot, philanderer possibly even insubordinate. However, Judah as the "CEO/"the boss" terminated his employment because he could (and conversations had with Mikki). The conceptualization of plot development didn't consider the implication and nor ramification of the character's actions in this book. Nonetheless, I don't approve or glorify with work place harassment and abuse of power🥴🤷🏾‍♀️‼️

The love language covered in this book is acts of service but there’s also a smidge of gift giving.

Judah exudes BDE on these pages and according to Mikki, he had a reason to 😏 I liked him for Mikki. When Judah and Mikki initially met, I was wondering how they would cross paths again. I wasn’t expecting them to meet again the way they did.

As always, I love the friendship between Mikki, Kema, Ember and Sevyn. We get updates on Phallon and Ember and E’Lyjah and Sevyn but not Tyrel and Kema. Kema does make an appearance via FaceTime calls and texts though.

Also, if you’re familiar with BriAnn Denae’s catalog, Torin from “Keep You to Myself” and “Keep Giving Me Love” makes a quick appearance.

i love a good workplace romance, and mikki really bagged the boss man 😏✨. this was such a solid conclusion to the series — i’m honestly a little sad to see it wrap, but briann definitely ended things with a bang. judah mcknight was that man. thoughtful, intentional, and absolutely dedicated to showing mikki she deserved every single gift, gesture, and moment he poured into her. their chemistry? effortless. grown. smooth. you could feel it in every scene 🎁💋.
this one instantly became my second favorite of the whole series — ember and phallon still hold the top spot, but judah and mikki gave them a run. a perfect “receiving gifts” love-language story with a vibe that felt warm and romantic without being overdone.

Love language series is truly about love & friendship too!

This last book of this series adds another male character to the fold & Judah does not disappoint as we follow this chance meeting with Mikka & follow them as far as their love languages allow us…
I loved how the careers of each character in each book were unique in their own way from
Budding entrepreneurs to talented professionals… supportive friend circles - thriving, evolving yet realistic in showing they craved good lovin’ too!
I’m going to miss everyone - all 6 books worth… entertaining, quick lighthearted reads & I hope… one day… we hear more as I miss these guys already …
