Never Leave 3: The Story of Knowledge Toussaint

Rate this book
Knowledge Toussaint is the epitome of a fine, sexy, unhinged alpha male with strong beliefs. As we explored his world in real and past time, his thirst for revenge is conquered as new challenges invade his life. Every action permits a consequence and the women in his life experience it first-hand.

Knowledge never intended to allow Paris to live, but since he did, her blood is on his hands as he figures out who the culprit is trying to turn her into a memory. He’s loyal to his word when it comes to her, while he’s also realizing that his slow burning bond with her invaded his space allowing his heart to feel a slight twinge for her. However, when it comes to the only woman he loves and his newborn child, Knowledge would give anything if God allowed Suga to live after giving childbirth.

In this final installment we get to see a different side to Knowledge as he maneuvers in his new life. He will always be who he is, but he’s met with challenges that forces him to be who he needs to be. Knowledge has to be open for love, but is he ready? Before he can settle, he learns of one more secret that haunts his past. When he’s confronted with it, will he finally get the chance to live a more subtle life with a clean heart? A fresh start isn’t always a bad thing. A lot of times it’s just what may be needed. One thing is for certain, and two things are for sure, you have to ‘know’ the ‘ledge’ so you don’t fall off of it. Knowledge Toussaint knows there will never be another like him and this finale proves just why because you’ll never forget about him as we close out this heart pulling story.

Ending

Knowledge Toussaint finally got some people around him that he can trust. I hated that Suga ending up the way she did however, I feel like Knowledge got some type of closure for the situation with his mom.

❤️❤️❤️

The way I ate these pages up and left no crumbs behind is not even funny. This man is everything! “Like I said, the name is Knowledge Toussaint, and there will never be another.” I can drop the mic right here, but I wouldn’t dare do my man like that.

The Never Leave series has to be one of my favorites to be penned by S. Yvonne. She stepped outside the box and crafted a complicated story fueled by darkness, anger, and revenge.
Books one and two laid the foundation, and book three brought it all together. The mystery man that is Knowledge is a great father, a protector, a provider, and a lover. I didn’t know what to expect from the finale or how things were going to go for Knowledge, but I knew he wouldn’t go down without a fight. His strength is unmatched. He was able to avenge the death of his mother, find love, and overcome grief while adjusting to being a parent. I Stan! The storytelling was immaculate; it was a page-turner. To experience Knowledge’s growth through all the turmoil and curveballs was a rollercoaster ride, but I would do it all over again to see the happiness in the end. Amazing job!!

This series definitely pulled at my heart strings at times but personally most of it for me was unpleasant.. We get it. Knowledge is well off, handsome, and a dangerous man. We don’t need to be reminded every other page that every woman he comes across is attracted to him or the fact that he speaks to any and everyone any kind of way even when unwarranted, and why subject your life to be with someone you aren’t truly in love with ? He had an obligation to suga ok I completely understand that.. but it made no sense to force this relationship with her knowing there was no true love there. Especially because she ended up passing and never got to experience what being in love and being loved properly felt like. Knowledge was there for her out of obligation and that’s just sad.. and then after everything knowledge gets everything he’s ever wished for in life. Idk. Kinda felt like a rushed tubi movie to me.

Never Leave: A Story of Knowledge Toussaint by S. Yvonne was such a good read. I truly enjoyed Knowledge’s story—he’s one of those epic characters you won’t forget. He went through so much trauma and grief in his lifetime, and watching his journey unfold in both past and present added so much depth to the story.

We really got to see how Knowledge handled his pain in his own way, and I loved watching him come to terms with why certain things happened in his life. I’ll admit, I was a little worried about how he would handle baby Suga, but it was beautiful to see him grow into single fatherhood and truly come into his own.

Booney was definitely one of my favorite characters. He had me laughing, and I loved watching him love on his G-baby. The father-son dynamic was so special, and it was heartwarming to see Booney find love again as well.
Knowledge’s story was powerful. I don’t even know how to fully put it into words—I just know I truly enjoyed this three-book series.

I’m not ready to say goodbye to Knowledge and the crew 😫😫😫

Since book 1️⃣ Mr. Toussaint has been the mf 🐐 had us craving for more of his story and book 3️⃣ did not disappoint… I hated to see Suga go but like Booney said she wasn’t Knowledge ending…. I love Paris for Knowledge and glad they took things slow and glad she is all he needs in a woman. I’m happy Booney and Nurse Sanaa made things official. Now the 🐐 of book 3️⃣ is Missy she made sure Keturah was always good and knew who Knowledge was. I am happy that Knowledge and Keturah was able to connect and build a solid relationship…. I hate to say good bye because I want to read more about them now that their circle ⭕️ is full…..

Minding Knowledge Heart

What a read. I would say that I thoroughly enjoyed this read. For me, it was different, but I love every minute of it. I'm not going to lie it was kinda predictable, but the details and how everything played out are what I loved about it. It was crazy because Suga knew she didn't have much time, so she left Knowledge with somebody very important to her, and that was his baby girl. She knew he needed her to tell his cold, dark heart. Paris was just the icing on the cake, and I'm glad he was about to experience being in love with the right person. I was too happy when Knowledge and Ketruch reunited because that was a beautiful moment. Great read. I enjoyed it

Awesome, Awesome Read

Everything that S. Yvonne writes is a banger. The cold-hearted silent killer is a force to be reckoned with. I hate how he went down in his life, but I love how he loves those who love him. Nit telling too much of the story, but all things fall in the order in which they are supposed to in God's wonderful timing. I love how he slowly started opening up and pieces of ice dropping off his once frozen heart. He deserved all the happiness that he received and then some. I would love to read more about baby sugar when she grows up. Does she take over her GD and Dad's business? Is she a spoiled princess or a deadly assassin?

Knowledge is just..Everything!

Everything about Knowledge screams STAY AWAY but how can you?! I mean, although the hit man, he cares about those that he should! I love him and I hate to see him go! S.Yvonne we need a spin off or something because sis, I wanna see how much hell baby Suga is gonna give them when she grows up! lol Anyways, I was happy to see Paris finally got her happily ever after! She definitely deserved it after all she’d been through! Oh and Keturah! I loved that she finally got to meet her family and they accepted her with open arms! Loved it!

It’s the end but also the beginning 💙

Everything about this finale gave what it needed to give. Knowledge having to deal with so much at one time but in the same breath finally getting the closure he needed. Baby Suga gave him a new outlook on life, Keturah grew his love and made him more protective. Paris was the icing on the cake. She understands every part of him and they both finally knows what true love is. Booney still be the realest there is found his everything as well. Sis you did an AMAZING job with this series and I can’t wait see what you cool up next 🫶🏽

There will never be another!

There will never be another Knowledge Toussaint. I was really hoping Suga bounced back from her illness. I’m glad Knowledge didn’t let that situation make him
Bitter especially since he had already experienced such a great loss with his mom. I’m so glad Booney is feeling better and getting back to himself. I knew Paris would hold a special place in Knowledge’s life and i was happy to see their outcome. Knowledge’s life finally comes full
circle thanks to Miss Missy. Now he can finally be at peace.

You Never Know You Need Peace Until You Have It!

S. Yvonne, good read. Knowledge Toussant has had some issues in his life. He overcame things he never knew was an issue for him. I love how he loved his mama no matter what. His heart was hardened, but he learned to trust and let the chips fall where they may. I love how much of a protector he is.
I think he surprised himself when he found peace. I think this was an emotional ride of situation after situation. But it was so full of love and life lessons as well. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Perfect

A great finale. It was sad that Suga died, but like it was said Suga was never meant to be here for a long time, she was place here to show Knowledge how to love and giving him something he could experience accepting a true unconditional love, at first he didn't want it due to Suga illness but in the end Baby Suga was exactly what he needed. Happy that he finally got a chance to meet his sister now their mother will be able to rest in peace because she got justice for her death as well as her children being reunited. Great story.

Healing the Heart of the Broken

I love this ending for Knowledge because he lost so much!!!…But he gained so much more than he knew his heart needed!!!…
Paris definitely was a piece to his puzzle and she spk so much life into him and I believe led her when she said that Suga was placed in life to teach him forgiveness and to provide him with ability to truly love another!!!…Forgiveness!!!…
Miss Missy was such a generous soul and I love the part she played for the Toussaint Family!!!…
The introduction to his sister was beautiful!!!…

Glad he found some peace

This review is for the series. I had to complete all three books together which I never do but the trama that Knowledge suffered wouldn’t let me just hold off on finding out what was next for him. That trama was way too much for one person to handle but I’m glad that people were strategically place in his life to counter that trama and help him find his peace. I wasn’t content with Suga she just seemed to hold a place but never really did anything for him except that one major thing, but Paris was the real saving grace. Well written.

Love it love it love it

I read all 3 series in like a week. I must say I loved Suga and her personality I even cried when she died. I loved the bond between Hitman and Booney not too many men have a bond like that with men. I cried when it came back they really was father and son. This whole book had me glued. I knew him and Paris would get together. Hitman did his thing being a single father to Baby Suga he ticked me so much he didn’t know nothing about a baby lol. Overall this book series was one of the best I’ve ever read!!!!

good series overall

I will say that Knowledge grew as a character. Knowledge didn’t really want to be with Suga so I wasn’t surprised at what happened but it was still sad. I really loved Booney in this book. Although I wasn’t really endeared to any of the characters for real, I’m glad it worked out for Knowledge. I did appreciate that it took a while for Paris and Knowledge to really bond and escalate their relationship.

The writing overall was just okay and sometimes repetitive.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m glad knowledge finally opened up to love in the end it’s true everything happens for a reason and people are put in your life for seasons and reasons and that’s why suga was just the vessel to bring baby suga to soften knowledge babies can break the strongest person’s heart I think booney was a hurt to know trice had another baby I love how we got all the sides of knowledge sad to see them go but I we’ll see them again lol wishful thinking

This series was phenomenal! Knowledge had a rough start but turned out to be the perfect gentleman in spite of it all! It was devastating losing Suga! Just as I predicted he ended up with Paris, which turned out to be the perfect match for him! He loved Suga, but wasn’t in love with her. He shared all his thoughts with Paris as his therapist, but it blossomed into something beautiful! I loved that he found and bonded with his sister. I loved Booney and Sanaa as well! Great series!!

Knowledge Toussaint 👏🏾 I absolutely loved this series. I was happy for Knowledge to get the love & life he finally deserved ❤️ He was able to heal his heart & fix all of the broken pieces he’d acquired from life. I truly enjoyed seeing him step into the father & big brother role. He was so gentle with them 🥹 Also big s/o to Booney! He was truly a savior to Knowledge & I’m also glad he was able to experience true love!

Drugs Addiction

This was a very good read. I barely watch tv. I cried when Trice had her ten year old son Knowledge in closet while she having sex. I was happy when knowledge got with dad. Bonney was excellent father . I wish all men could take some lessons on how to raise boy to be men. I also cried when Suga died. I felt for Knowledge because that what he was afraid that would happen. Excellent Job

WOW

From book one to book three this book was so good the ride it took me on had me shaking my head crying laughing Knowledge was a cold motherf….. but the love he started accepting turned his world upside down to read a book from a different angle. Man I loved this book took two days because I just wanted to see where he would take me. Damn this is the second series I have read from this author and I tell you she owes me nothing she totally has me in a chokehold. This is the longest review I have ever left this book by far is one of my favorites so much so I will be buying it in book form.

Beautiful finale!😍

Sanaa was just the woman Booney needed to slow his hot tail down. Karma caught up to Courtney and his side kick in the worst way. Knowledge really grew from book 1. I was afraid for the doctors and nurse after what happened to Suga, but she helped him see things differently. Paris was green at times but she slowly started showing that she was prepared. Miss Missy was a blessing to Trice and her family.

One of my favorite urban multi-genre series! Knowledge has evolved over this 3 book series and multiple storylines come together in this finale. New developments change life totally and characters have to decide how to cope and grow or get stuck as it all plays out. Knowledge is such a strong character he never disappoints and his entire life has been so riddled with hardship that I truly wanted him to win throughout this series with all it's twists and turns.

4/5⭐️ I really enjoyed this series. Kept me completely engaged from start to finish. The storylines came together beautifully, creating a satisfying and well-balanced experience. It wasn’t over the top; everything felt just right, with the perfect mix of drama, emotion, and resolution. I loved that everyone got their happily ever after. It’s definitely a series I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a well-rounded, heartfelt read.

Highly Recommend

This is truly one of my favorites series. I sometimes wish Knowledge had been a real human that I met with life turning out great.😀 The characters were easy to relate. I enjoyed Booney, Sanaa, Keturah and Miss Missy. More importantly for me, the series made sense. Author S.Yvonne’s work is top notch.
