Loyal was exactly like his name Loyal. Loyal meets Tyeis when she’s late picking her son up. Loyal becomes interested instantly. Tyeis did a lot of running 🤣. One thing a Graham man will do is love you with his whole heart. Loyal stepped up as a father figure to her son. Loyal went from no hoes having my heart to being madly in love.

This first Graham story set the pace for the next stories. I am ready. Whew, this man is a rider for real.

This was a good, quick read! I like how Ty & Loyal’s relationship developed. And I loved how his family loved her and her son and welcomed them into their lives with open arms. Loyal was really that dude!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Loyal and Tyeis had me a little stressed out in this book. Tyeis was on her “She’s a runner. She’s a track star” for the longest. Had me yelling at her through the book telling her to let that man love her. Loyal never hesitated to jump in when he was needed in Tyeis life. He didn’t play about his woman nor Orion. Once they got on the same page I love how Tyeis ain’t play about Loyal either. She was quick to check anyone who tried to talk down on him on belittle his accomplishments. I love how they were both attentive to each other’s needs. The connection between these two was so endearing.
Kami, Loyal is just my latest book bae and apparently when it comes to these Graham men I’m gonna love em all (Except Papa Truth😒 I’m still on the fence with him) Thank You for the opportunity to read your book in advance.

okay
The overall plot of this was interesting and the author told a compelling coming of age story of grief and love and growing up and accepting yourself without family approval. I think I struggled a bit with understanding the characters, Loyal and Tyeis, and their motivations. Loyal was a borderline alcoholic which was never properly addressed. Tyeis got a man and a dream job and I was thrilled for her but never quite felt like she fully came into her own in this book even though we were told she did. There was a large external group of characters of Graham family members and I liked their complex, messy family dynamic but I felt with all the banter, a little more seriousness was needed in some parts. This also needed some extra proofing/editing because there’s were a few typos and some of the transitions between scenes were awkward- for example- a scene with Tyeis’ son Orion would contain Ty and Loyalty exchanging some highly sexual banter which made you wondered where he was and hope he wasn’t around.
Overall, I thought this was a compelling read and I kept returning to it once I started. I’m new to this author’s work but would read more.

Tye and Loyalty…what a ride! Loyalty knew he was as attracted to Tye and fought for her. I loved his sarcasm and how he was there for her through it all. Tye’s family was trifling and did her so wrong even her son’s father was useless. I was so happy for them at the end.

Kami!!!! I love Justice, but Loyalty…. whew! I had a feeling that he would be a bit complicated, however, he was beautifully complicated! You just giving us the one, two punch with the Graham brothers huh? I am here for every second of it. ❤
Loyalty, had that middle child syndrome, rebelling and wilding out trying to get attention from his dad. But it felt like it was more to it than that. Mannnn, there was so much more! Loyal was strong, resilient, and making his own way, until he lost his queen. His mother was the one he could always count on, gave him unwavering support, and unconditional love. When he lost that, he hid behind jokes, liquor, and women to shield his heart from the immense pain he held there. There was no more room for love, as his mother took it with her when she left him. 😥💔
Tyeis! Lawd, your parents were beyond trash sis! The way they treated you, berated you, and tossed you aside was shameful! 🤬 Although you were young, you knew you had to make a way for yourself and your son. For Tyeis the struggle was real, and I could almost feel the desperation in her thoughts and the way she moved, until……
When Loyal met Tyeis, something about her moved him, and he didn’t understand it. A chance meeting soon after, and Loyal just attached himself to Tyeis and wouldn’t let go. These Graham men are something else. I loved the patience (for the most part) that Loyal displayed with Tyeis while she got herself together. But when he had enough, he turned on the crazy, and got his woman! These two went hard for each other, and no one was safe from the wrath of mistreating either.
Papa Truth got me giving him the 👀 with his behavior, and things he was saying. Even after the revelations, I gave him an ounce of grace, but mostly disappointment. Cause sir really????? 😤 Thank God for Granny Lula! She held the family together with her Sunday dinners, tough love, and sharp tongue. 🤣
This set-up for Wisdom’s story got me intrigued, and terrified at the same time. I loved that he and Janae were getting to know each other on the low, without everyone in their business, as I figured they would. Then all the ish hit the fan at dinner. What the hell happened to Janae? KJ?? Did he make it, cause Wise beat that ass? Can’t wait to dive into the next story. Kami you got me in a chokehold ma’am! Eating up these stories like hot cornbread. 🤣 Great job! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Lolo and Ty💕
Bring me to tears why don’t you. My goodness. Just when I thought I had everything figured out with these two there’s more thrown into the mix. Ty and Lo were made to for one another and not just in love, but also in healing. They’d both experienced their fair share of trauma and disappointments, so I was happy when they decided to choose their happiness. Ty’s family was trash and I have no other words for them. Papa Truth and Lo needed that heart to heart because man…there was a lot to unpack. My only other qualm is not getting more of Lo’s relationship with Orion. We saw a little bit of it, but I wanted to really feel like they’d established a relationship. It didn’t take away from the story though.
Justin and Yani and Messiah and Yaya were still hilarious. I’m going to be waiting in the daylight with a flashlight for Wise and Janae. I have a feeling it’s going to bring me to my knees because what was revealed had my mouth wide open. Renegade sounds like he may have a story to tell as well and ya girl will be waiting.

Loyalty over everything
I gave it 4.5 but rounded up to 5 stars. The story was cute and i liked how the author explored multiple prosectives on love and grief. I loved Loyalty and Ty relationship, it was mature. I see that all the characters maybe getting spin-offs and I'm excited! Wise and Janea is who I'm looking forward too.

This story had the potential to be really cute. However between the grammatical errors and the plot being all over the place. It was a solid 2 for me. Like there were no real answers on why Tyeis’ family hated her so much. Why/how her “aunt” and her mom and aunt got so close. Why the dad hated her so much. Like it just was blah for me.

L.OE. 4 good…
Yes, I read this story, and I really enjoyed reading this lovely and kinda sad love story. The ending was so good. Check it out. No spoilers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I absolutely LOVED Loyalty Over Everything. Kami did her thing with this one!
First of all, Loyalty was a BONAFIDE, CERTIFIED HOE. 😂 Like sir??? But I loved watching Tyeis come into his life and completely turn his world upside down—in the best way possible. And honestly, they both did that for each other.
I really loved Tyeis as a character too. She was a single mother trying to make a way for herself and her son, and a relationship was the LAST thing on her mind. She was focused on surviving, getting to the money, and building a better life for them. So when Loyalty came along, she was basically like, “Yeah… I don't have time for you.” 😂 And I respected it!
Their back-and-forth had me STRESSED, though. One minute I'm thinking, “Okay, they're together!” Then some time passes and I'm like, “WAIT… THEY'RE NOT TOGETHER?! WHAT HAPPENED?!” 😭 But once everything started coming together, I understood why their relationship developed the way it did.
One of the biggest things that made this book hit home for me was Loyalty's grief over losing his mother. Those scenes genuinely brought tears to my eyes because I understood him.
I lost my mother almost four years ago, and there are still days when that grief makes it hard for me to even get out of bed. My relationship with my mother wasn't perfect, and I would never pretend that it was, but it was REAL. She had my back. She had my children's backs. She was truly a mother and a grandmother, and I miss her every single day.
So when Loyalty talked about his queen being gone and you could feel how deeply he was still hurting, I understood it completely. Grief doesn't follow some little timeline where eventually you're just “over it.” Sometimes you're okay, and sometimes that loss hits you like it happened yesterday. That part of Loyalty's story really stayed with me.
NOW… Tyeis's parents?!
Kami, why do you keep writing parents that make me want to jump through my Kindle?! 😭😂
Especially her MAMA. Ma'am, COME OUTSIDE. I just wanna talk. 👊🏾 Because watching your daughter struggle when you have the ability to help her—but choosing not to because you don't approve of the choices she made?! Oh, I was PISSED. Tyeis became a teenage mother, not a damn serial killer! The way they treated her like she was less than because of it had me ready to fight.
And that's all I'm saying because we're NOT doing spoilers. 😂
Overall, I loved this story. I loved Loyalty. I loved Tyeis. I loved watching two people who weren't necessarily looking for each other become exactly what the other person needed.
The romance was good, the characters had me invested, the family drama had me ready to square up, and the grief storyline hit me in a very personal place.
Definitely another five-star read from Kami for me. ❤️📚

Star: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Spice: 🌶🌶
I have been loving fast paced books recently and this is one that can be added to that list. This story was beautiful and heart warming. I loved this story and everything about it. I loved how the story went from Tyeis pushing her feelings for Loyalty to the side into to them being so in love that their broken hearts healed each other. In ways they haven't thought was possible. I understand her need to keep her circle as close as possible. When you been hurt by the people you trust the most. You really can't trust anything one else. I'm glad she decided to trust Loyalty and given him a chance.
Tyeis Jessop
I loved Tyeis so much because she didn't let her pass get in the way of who she chose to become and moving forward to be. Something about seeing women who's families try and break them down and not letting get to you always makes me happy. Cause her parents and aunt can kiss ass for the way they treated her. Especially when see needed them most. They were trifling and ugly souls through and through. But enough of them. I'm happy that Ty got to start doing things she loved. Because through out the story we see as she healing she is healing others with her beautiful gift. I also loved her relationship with her son and just how close they were.
Loyalty Graham
Now I love me some Loyalty. I just wanna know were I can get me a man like him cause oh my gosh. He seen Tyeis once and was like she was not for me but his head and heart was like yup that's all me. Something about see a man that was in the street get star struck any one women. Ty was just it for him. I also liked how when pursuing Ty he also thought and included her son at all times. And seeing how harsh his relationship with his dad was to them slowly fixing it towards the end I love. Because relationships between a son and a dad should always be able to confine in each other.
Ps. I loved the part were that nasty ass man got them hits from Wise. He deserves some much more.

Loyal and Tyeis were cute. I liked them together, even though I was lowkey reading this waiting to get to Wisdom and Janae’s story. Loyal was very mature and understanding, and I liked how he handled Tyeis. It was Tyeis who almost annoyed me with all that, “I don’t know how to tell him my truth.” Girl, the longer you wait, the worse it gets. DUH. Whole time, all that worrying was for nothing because Loyal didn’t give a damn. I’m glad he didn’t care, but damn, I wanted SOME conflict. I was like, I know damn well this not finna be a straight-laced romance. Where is the drama? It was cute, but just okay for me.
Tyeis also annoyed me because I’m not a fan of characters willingly putting themselves in situations they KNOW are going to hurt them. Tyeis knew her family wasn’t shit. She knew they didn’t like her and saw her as a disappointment, so why tf did you go to that dinner, let alone go back around them ppl? Especially when she had already found a new family who loved her and her son unconditionally. Why keep subjecting yourself to people who have shown you over and over that they don’t care about you? That family would’ve NEVER saw me again.
So when everything blew up at dinner, I didn’t even feel bad for her. I just rolled my eyes because ain’t nobody make your silly ass go sit with a group of people who have never been loving toward you. Then she had to call Loyal to come save her and her hurt feelings from a situation she willingly walked into. Aggy.
I know the dinner was supposed to bring out all the family secrets, but even that was underwhelming. Hell, I barely knew her sister. We didn’t get enough interaction with Tyeis’s family throughout the book for me to care about any of those revelations.
But one thing I DID love about Tyeis, she don’t play about Loyal. Don’t come for that mf because she gonna check you every time. I loved that about her. Overall, they were a cute couple, but their story needed a little more for me. The romance was there. The drama just wasn’t.

healthy love can help heal all wounds
Loyal was loud, uncouth, brash and gave it to you straight no chaser. I don’t think he knew what having a filter meant because it was nonexistent, probably got it from his granny Lula. He was a loving brother and cousin as well as a whole hoe in these streets and had no intention of changing. He was also a hothead with a troubled past that some people wouldn’t let him forget.
Tyeis was a sweet heart who became a single mother at very young age. She was judged and ridiculed for this by people who should have loved her unconditionally. She became a loner and didn’t trust or open herself up to nobody because all she ever got was judgment.
Two people who made some mistakes that they were moving past encounter each other. The interest of Loyal is peaked and Tyeis is running from his interest to protect her heart. Loyal has never been into a woman the way he’s into her.
This story is about how a man is and a woman getting and giving love and support properly. It has the ignant mouth and antics of Loyal, the blossoming of Tyeis amongst people who truly love and accept her, beautiful relationships amongst family and friends, a lot of laughter, drama and healing.
“It’s you and me forever. You know that?” “That’s right, Baby. Loyalty over everything.”
A good read!

idk what to say for
right before I found this book I said I needed a book where we get more cute moments after the couple gets together. i was so sick of seeing epilogue after the couple got together and got they happily ever after.
now ty and loyal ain't get happily ever after completely but they definitely got really happy after ty stopped running from ole boy. i was definitely shocked throughout the story and it definitely put me through the feels from happiness sadness laughter anger and definitely longing.
I'm just so glad that the love that they had for each other and their family helped them become the people that they needed to be for their kids and themselves.
all the moments that they had were so cute and I just want to say that they admitted to each other they loved each other before that little tent date but hey maybe my memory is bad
anyways this book was so good and soo freaking sweet. i wish we had gotten a wedding out of this but hey it whatever. and I definitely expecting the baby daddy to show up again but I'm glad that he didn't cause they deserved to continue being happy.
right before I found this book I said I needed a book where we get more cute moments after the couple gets together. i was so sick of seeing epilogue after the couple got together and got they happily ever after.
now ty and loyal ain't get happily ever after completely but they definitely got really happy after ty stopped running from ole boy. i was definitely shocked throughout the story and it definitely put me through the feels from happiness sadness laughter anger and definitely longing.
I'm just so glad that the love that they had for each other and their family helped them become the people that they needed to be for their kids and themselves.

Loyalty and Tyeis
Loyalty/Loyal Graham is a photographer who was once a part of the family business. After serving time, he got out and focused on his talents. He is still grieving his mother and has decided that love and marriage are not for him.
Tyeis is a single mother who thought she found love in her teens but now understands it was manipulation. Her family shamed her and sent her away to hide her pregnancy. Now, she is on her own doing the best she can. Her son attends the community center that operated by Loyals' brother, and that is how they first met.
During their second meeting, he gets her number, and she friend zones him. Due to some things going on in her life, she feels that is best.
Loyal has to basically show up on one of her dates to prove how serious he is about her. They give it a chance, but secrets are revealed and test their understanding of love.

✨ New to me author ✨
I definitely read this series the wrong way round & started at the end , currently working my way back to the first book.
I think this is book 3or4 but so far although I love all the books, this one stood out to me because I love seeing the under dog coming out on top!
Loyalty “Daddy Lolo” Graham, a sweetheart, loud mouth ladies man, really dealt with the pressures of being the middle child & overcoming personal barriers which seemed to hold him back in some ways. His character development was amazing to read & I just loved how he developed into the very definition of his name. You know how the Grahams do 😉
Tyeis, a soft spot instantly for her as she was a single mother, who’s been doing it on her own for a while with no real support system. She was failed from a very young age and she was just SO deserving of all the good that Loyal brought to her. I just loved seeing her open up and find a new family that accepted her.
I will say F her trash family though. Wicked people 😢
Overall, this was a beautiful story, I love how faith was incorporated into this, how they healed through love & faith. The theme of loss is also heavy in this so please check TW.
Must read ✨

loyal 🥹😩
Now, if you been here before we knew Loyal was a bit of a fool but that man worse than Wisdom! I loved every second of it!
Kami honestly captured two souls who needed each other so well.
Loyal was everything! He saw his lady and said “it’s her. She mine and I’m not resting till I get her!” I love that he fought for her and didn’t let up! Do yo thing Lolo!!
Teyis my girl…I just wanna hug and squeeze you!! She deserved all that love that came at her! From Loyal to Ciyana (a friendship I didn’t know I needed!!!) to the whole Graham family. Her and her bby boy needed and deserved it! Orian just made my little heart melt 😩 raised right!
Papa Truth & Loyal 🥹🥹🥹
Now, Wisdom? Where you at baby?

Loyal Graham and Tyeis Jessop
(The Graham Family Saga book 4)
I ❤️ this series so hard. At one point in this book, I sat it down, and I was like "who hurt you, Kami"??
These parental figures these ladies experienced were some of the worst I have ever read!
On a happier note 📝 when Loyal said: "I love you too. Understand that my love for you means that there’s nothing that I won’t do for you, and no battle I won’t fight on your behalf. You don’t have to go through anything by yourself. Let me be your armor,”....
😊 I. Was. Screaming!
Talk to me nice, Thug Passion!
Genre: Urban Romance
Spice Level:🌶🌶
Possible Triggers: ✔️✔️
I said what I said and as always: don't take my word for it. Read the book, form your own opinions, and support your authors!

Loyalty over Everything, I love that Loyal & Tyeis got their own story and found love! His grief & her distrust, omg her parents pissed me off! Shadir was a predatory. Loyal offered her love, assurance and was there for Orion!
Loyal and Granny Lula are foolish you hear me, I was cackling 😂🤣. Granny Lula’s wisdom and the church service scene were the most beautiful parts to me.
I want more of these two!
“You haven't even seen my crazy side, Love. I have never been in love before, so if I give you my heart, just know that I’ma act straight up stupid behind you. I believe in pop-ups. I don't care if you're at bible study with your Granny. I'ma tuck my Glock in my jeans and flip my bible right to Galatians. King James Version only, of course." Loyal ❤️🤣😂

L.O.E.
Loyalty over everything! This is by far my favorite book in the series. I knew Loyal was going to pull my heartstrings. He is everything that his name embodies. He has tunnel vision when it comes to his family. He knows no other way than to go hard for them.
Once Tyeis gave him the greenlight, she became his everything. Loyal didn't play about her or Orion. Her parents were something else. It's always the holier than thou parents who make their children's lives a living hell. I'm happy that Ty washed her hands and said good riddance.
Grandma Lula is a whole trip. Lo and Papa Truth are a work in progress, but I have hope for them. Uncle KJ, yep I have a feeling that he is a predator. Hopefully we find out soon. This is a very good book and series.

Loyalty!!!!
Loyal is true to his name Loyalty. That man is Loyal to those he loves. Tyeis is a young single mother who has fallen on to hard times. Loyal wants her and to help her. She fights him at every turn. He finally catches her and they fall hard. The Graham Family loves her and Orion feom first meeting, that is a Blessing because her family is Straight Trash. Those are so cold hearted people, she is definitely better without them. I love this Graham Family especially Granny Lula. I love the update of the rest of the family, but I would like a update on Rule and his family. I have a feeling Wisdom and Janae story is next. I can't wait. Great Job Kami👏🏾

Good read
This was a great story! I loved Loyal and Tyeis! They both had so much pain and healing to go through. I loved how they were there for each other. I appreciate that Loyal didn’t give up on Tyeis when she was running from him. I love that he embraced her son! The relationship with the parents was crazy! I am was disappointed that there was no answer about Orion’s dad calling out the blue. Also, it was never said but what happened to Janae should have been said point blank. That affected everyone. This was my first time reading from this author looking forward to reading more. Would love to read Wise and Janae story.

The one I was waiting for
I could not wait to read the book about Loyalty. When his character was introduced in Made for you, I thought he was authentic, funny and not understood. This meant this character would have an interesting story. All of the Graham men are too good to be true but Loyal is by far the one with the biggest heart who unapologetically says what’s on his mind which had me stitches laughing. I really love how all the Graham men love women who are broken and make them whole despite their own trauma the love hard. I loved how Loyal’s and Tyeis’ relationship blossomed. This is a must read if you are unable to read the other books.

Really good read‼️
I loved seeing Loyalty as a family man. I loved how he and Ty loved on each other and how they were so vulnerable with each other. Both hurting and wanting acceptance from their parents. Ty’s family was trash The Graham family is the ish periodt. I love how they are so open and welcoming. Truth was pissing me off but he got it together in the end.
Lolo and TyTy deserve all the good things coming to them. I’m ready for book 5!!
4 stars because I found it unnecessarily long. There was a lot that I feel like could have been left out but that could just be me.
