I must say I enjoyed all four parts of the Bruh Man series. Kuran's growth and Elodie finding her niche and love were nice. Shaheed was a nice addition to this series, and I must say I really like him. He has trauma but worked really hard to overcome his issues, and I love his vulnerability with Elodie. I would've liked to see more of what happened with Tasha's story, and Jay Luv is a selfish, immature, attention-seeking ass man-boy. The ending could've been better; I was left thinking, Wth! Hopefully Desiree drops a 5th part, because I'm here for it. I love her writing style and her creative mind. I'm a fan in spite of the grammatical errors, lol! Desiree, gurl, you are okay with me.

Hot Damn!!!

This was some good suga, honey and ice tea. I enjoyed all players in this installment. We need more from Kuran and Angel, Elodie and Shaheed and more of those Godfrey siblings.

After reading all 4 books, I am so invested in the characters! I can only hope that there’s a new installment .

1. I would like to say, Tasha is FOULLLLL! Well, her ex husband is too 😂😂😂

2. I still feel bad for Angel, she is forever going to be tied to BruhMan. 🥺

3. Jay luv is a bitch! Shaheed and Elodie make a decent couple as long as they continue to communicate their feelings.

4. WHERE THE HELL IS CHAINE?!?!?

All in All , I rate this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would LOVE a follow up on The Godfrey siblings, life after BruhMan’s book release,Angel and the baby, Elodie’s mom, and Shaheed and Elodie relationship. Please, Desiree, make that happen 🤞🏿

SWOON🖤

Oouuu weee Shah! I love me some Shaheed. That last chapter OMG YES!! Can I meet him in real life shidddd. Eloise and Shah’s relationship was the highlight of this one. I want more. I want to know what happened to them. I am also interested in updates about Elodie’s lost friend and child. I wonder what came of Bruh Man and Angel. I am happy that Elodie and Angel reconnected. Tasha was too much, but her story is very very intriguing. I low key want to know what happened to Jay silly self too!

Emotional Support Needed

Jay Luv is really an attention seeking man , he think staying on the camera is going to save him but Shaeed is a different breed. He's really about that life . Elodie has finally found Mr. Right I believe. I still love/hate Bruh man he has a humongous heart but tons of unresolved childhood issues. Hopefully Angel can learn to love him and help him heal. Bruh and his siblings should just love each other from a distance. Let's go Desiree I need more . I don't trust Tasha but she does have me intrigued. Hope the next part of the series stars Shaheed.

Do We Even Know Who Or What Is Real?

Desiree, when I say your pen leaves me looking for more. Elodie really had no idea what she was in for when she just wanted to be her own person. I think she and Angel should try and stay bonded. I think Kuran is hopefully gonna get it together. I like Shaheed. I think Jay is a sellout. He is like Mural was. Kuran's family will never be right in my book other than Corrine. Niece, needs love. They all need help. Great read!!🤗🤗🤗🤗

OMG

Now again I say Jay is a selfish insecure little boy seeking attention to remain relevant. This series is a must read because I don't want to give too much away.
Tasha not sure if I could have been that wife her husband was also selfish, happy Kurean was getting himself and Angel together. Can't wait to see how things play out because this can't be the end not with that cliffhanger.

I'm so invested in this series. Like I didn't care what was happening around me, nothing could distract me from this damn book. I have so many questions? I love El and Shaheed, but damn I think he's crazy. When is book 5 being released? Will Angel give Kuran another kid? Who is El's mother? I need answers!🤣🤣🤣🤣

So…..

I first read this book on Kindle Vella, so I was glad when the book came to Kindle. When it comes to giving us a well written and entertaining book, Desiree never fails to give us her all. Koran roped Elodie into his weird familiar dynamics and attitudes, secrets and betrayal joined in as well. Kuran’s sister and brother in-law were definitely trash.

weird interesting

Well, urban books aren’t really my thing it’s how the charters speak but I did enjoy Shaheed I love a good sports story. Elodie she had to grow on me she was a lot.

a time was had

I wanted something different from the traditional urban romance I find myself reading. Desiree definitely delivered. This book was layered with lies and manipulation. Atlanta coded per the author’s signature style.

Didn't like the ending, but

I didn't like the ending, but the 4 books in total was pretty good. This book felt rushed and not well thought out. I love the way the author writes....so even when it's subpar to previously read books; it's still good.

Love the series but Elodie annoying me a little. Sister/girl, you can't keep finding yourself in these situations and blame others. I'm ready for the next installment though lol

The proofreaders missed several grammatical errors. The break from Tasha was not explained enough. More of Shaeeds history is needed.

Elodie and Shah

oh My God, I need a book 5 or continuation of something. Because where is the ant, I feel lost already.. any closure!!!!! I do not like Jay in the beginning I did, but and he was nothing but a bitch ass. Who kept drama going and going and going for no reason. I was so proud of Elodie and the momentum she had without Jay
