I loved the dynamic the brothers had to take care of each other while holding one another accountable any wrongdoings as well as uplifting their successes. I’m not usually a fan of second chance romances but Gambino and Kayla had some really cute moments that definitely felt genuine since they had that history together.
Gotti is a shoot first ask questions later type of person and that’s my type of vibe!!! As the youngest of course he is as unserious as can be but when the going got tough he was able to get his shit together and I love that for him and Rue. They had an initial enemies to lovers feel but it was mostly a misunderstanding over being actual enemies. I like that it wasn’t dragged out since they had bigger fish to fry that having lack of communication.
Luciano felt like the sweetest brother of them all and it could have been since he was the quiet brother that felt the need to take care of the others once they started establishing things outside of the business. I loved his willingness to protect Tori from her brother because that man needed bad things. I kind of wish I could have seen Luci and Tori when they broke up to show Luciano’s growth and acceptance from being only about the family business to understanding Tori’s importance in his life now that she was gone. But that’s just the inner me looking for some unnecessary angst lol
I feel like each brothers’ romantic journey fit each of their personalities. Gambino wanting his wife to be the one person he trusted and loved from day one. Luciano building a bond and friendship with his personal chef over the course of years which helps him establish a sense of trust he wouldn’t get with a stranger. And firecracker Gotti falling for a firecracker employee of his mom’s company. Someone that could give him a run for his money that he could be open and raw emotionally with.

I enjoyed reading about Gambino, Gotti and Luciano. I liked that each brother had their own story as boss men who found true love with the women in their lives. They put fear in those who tried to cross them, but it was also good to read about their softer side.
Never will I tell a Author how to write their book but I was in my feelings when Claire was killed. She already lost her husband due to a heart attack. I felt sorry for Gambino, Luciano, and Gotti for losing both parents just weeks apart. However their mother death was because of someone holding a grudge. Gambino knew what he did in the beginning was wrong as hell and went against everything his family and the Cartel stand for. The way be betrayed Cory was some snake and scandalous s**t. Anybody else probably would've killed Gambino and wouldn't have given a damn about going to war with his family but Cory being very close to Gambino father Samson, his character, and loyalty allowed him to let Gambino make it. Cory ending his mentorship and Kyla not being in his life. Hurt Gambino more than anything. Gambino did learn from his way's after losing what was important to him. Kyla coming back and giving him a second chance did give Gambino some hope after losing his father and stepping into his position as the oldest brother. Gotti being the youngest and wildest wasn't surprising. He really started wilding out after losing his mother. Gotti might've been a hoe,wild, and deadly in the streets but he was a momma's boy. Her death caused him to lose his mind a little but his brothers reeled him back in once they made him step down from the Cartel and started handling their legal businesses. Gotti was misunderstood though. Meeting Rue and finally having someone see him for him. Gave Gotti a new outlook on life. Also Gambino and Luciano giving him his props for how he calmed down and started handling business made Gotti feel good as well. Luciano being the middle child and less troublesome had his head on straight. He was an enforcer but I know losing his parents changed him as well although he pretty much kept his feelings to himself. Tori was a good fit for Luciano. The peace he needed. However Tori had her own demons she was battling. Trying to be there for her drug addicted brother took a toll on her. Luciano tried to warn Tori but she had to learn the hard way after she was attacked.
When I say I love The Nathtahn Cartel: The INC by B. Love that's exactly what I mean! Gambino, Luciano, and Gotti are bae for real. I love how the author delved into each of the men as they grew into the men that they are now. Gambino learned from his mistake from eight years ago and realized that Kayla was his love and soulmate. Gotti had to grow to stop being reckless and Rue was just the woman for him. He definitely grew into the man that made his brothers proud. Luciano had to learn not to work so hard and to let love happen. Tori was the woman just for him. Kayla, Rue, and Tori are strong women and didn't let these brothers do them any kind of way. They held them accountable for their actions. I enjoyed the whole book. We got drama and love in this book. This was a signature B. Love and if she's writing it, I'm reading it. The Nathtahn Cartel exceeded my expectations!
Despite this being a Mafia story, the author wrote a book full of emotions from one spectrum to the other. I loved how the author gave us a snapshot of each brother (Gambino, Luciano and Gotti) falling hard for the women that were made just for them. All of the brothers were able to find women who saw past their Mafia lives and saw them for themselves. I loved the close knit familial bonds as well. They loved each other, and they weren't too gangsta to show that love. The book had a lot of ups and downs that kept me interested and on the edge of my seat from the very beginning. The love, passion, drama and betrayal contained within the story made this an enjoyable book to read that I couldn't put down. Great job!!
This is like getting 3 books in one. The book covers the Nahtahn brothers and their positions in the family business and their relationships with their mates and their parents. Gambino starts out rebellious but learns his lesson and grows up. The brothers are close and become even closer after their mother is murdered by another cartel looking for revenge due to oldest brother not marrying into their family. The middle brother is quiet and likes to stay out of the way but when it comes to business, he take care of it all. The baby brother is a hot head, womanizer and mommas boy. He shoots first and never ask questions. Because he is the one most affected by his mothers murder he is no longer able to function in the cartel business and is sent to take over his mothers legal business to be closer to her. The book was well written and kept me entertained throughout. Hopefully the brother can one day have their own books to further dive into their personal lives
Another great mafia story that kept me interested the entire time. I loved how the author showcased the stronger/harder side of each brother, while also shedding light when it came to the weaknesses they held within them behind the women they loved. Gotti was a trip most definitely, and the fact that Rue was willing to except him as he was made him fall for her that much harder. Kayla and Gambino’s love was a true testament of the saying “if you love something let it go, and if it comes back….” True love will always find its way back home. Another great one by B. Love. Can’t wait for the next one.
Once again B. Love did her thing. This story flowed excellently, it was.like once an incident happen the after thoughts and events fell right into place. With the lost of their parents Gabino knew what his little mother needed, Gotti would be considered a.momma boy so him stepping into her world to get control of something his mother held close and.dear to he was indeed need in his healing process thus also allowing him to find his better half; it was as if their mother passed away so that they would step into the true men she know they were meant to be as well as.finding love and.putting that first. A must great read.
Nahtahn brothers were so down to earth and commited to their cartel and one another! I love each not their partners, especially Rue with Gotti, they were my favorite! Gambling was the oldest and he had that protective nature of his loved ones, especially reconnecting with Kayla, she was his peace! Then there's the middle one, Luciano, it took him a little longer to fully commit to love, but Tori provided that unconditional love! I loves the story from start to finish!
Loved it! It was like 3 books in 1. The story flowed well. We got to know the characters but it didn’t take forever for things to come together. For anyone who isn’t a fan of multiple POV, I feel like this would be a good read for you. Although there are several characters, there isn’t a lot of flipping back and forth between the characters. You really get to focus on each character and it kinda flows like a tv series and moves on to the next set of characters. I enjoyed it!
Love all things B. Love. Her stories are always well rounded and very good reads.
The brothers Nahtahn....yep...love them all. Gambino, the Don, is suave and laid-back. He wasn't always that way and it cost him dearly. Luciano, the Enforcer, it's always the quiet ones that you have to watch. Gotti, the Underboss and wild child. He is totally wreck-less and unhinged. He has no f@#$_ to give.
If you are a fan of cartels and mafias, add this to your repertoire.
3.5 ✨ Audiobook 🎧 I rock with the Nahtahn Cartel. You experienced love, betrayal, grief and eventual happiness. This does focus on three couples— and while I understand people dislike multiple POVS, I believe I would have enjoyed spending an equal amount of time with each pairing. It felt unbalanced but I liked how different the couple’s journeys were.
As far as narration goes Eboni Flowers hasn’t disappointed yet. It seems that Earl Oakland our male narrator, is newer to the narration game so he hasn’t quite found his groove. Good voice just not much depth.
I liked the timeline of Past, Present, Future & the consecutive POVs of each brother + their spouse. It was like a mini series all in one.
I was happy Gambino & Kayla were able to reconcile. I liked Gotti (with his crazy tail self) I’m proud finally matured & found his perfect partner in Rue. I felt for Tori dealing with a loved one battling addiction. I’m glad Luciano found some balance & was able to lock down his heart. I really enjoyed them all, I can’t pick a favorite.
This book had me in my feelings from the beginning. The Nahtahn family love for each other was consuming and beautiful to see. As the brothers mourned the deaths of their parents it was heartbreaking. Especially their mother, Claire. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment experienced within the pages as each Nahtahn brother found their forever love.
When they say I am my brothers keeper, they were talking about the Nahtahn brothers. The loss, betrayal, redemption. Chef’s kiss. The way this three brothers grew into their own when they didnt have any other choice but to boss up. The three women that they chose were the perfect match. Amazing read.
Bino, Luciano and Gotti not only found their happily ever after but their business had far and beyond then they ever thought it would be but to have the women beside them and the love they needed after losing their parents was incredible I love all of your books but this on hit differently
This is a great book it's like getting 3 love stories for the price of one my favorite couple is Gotti and Rue they literally had my stomach hurting with how they were acting also I'm glad to see all the brothers grow up and grow into their roles with the women they love. This book definitely brings out all the emotions but such a great book!!
Ooooo Gotti is bae like yes! That man is/was a momma’s boy and Rue came in like a lil chihuahua lol and shook that table for that man who was for the streets. Gambino and Luciano come in second lol. B. Love definitely wrote this book and wrapped it up nicely.
I really enjoyed this book and my heart broke for these brothers to lose their father and mother shortly there after!!!… I was glad to see them all find love and expand their families!!!…
I loved how you got a story on each brother all in one book. I just knew Luciano story was going to be good and it was but it was more straight to the point. Gambino took up 50% of the book.📕
After describing her face then saying she looked like a dog I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m glad all 3 brothers got their story. I was worried it was going to be about just one.
Thanks again for giving us another banger baby rue tamed the beast called gotti lol because after their mother died he was out of control and bino and Kayla were able to get back together and love on each other and now Lu and tori perfect ending
These was good from start to end, so sad we won't read about these couple's again. Was so happy Gambino was able to Become the man To get his girl back. Little brother grew up Girl and the baby, and Lu Also was able to find love such a great story
This was one of my favorites, but you are an excellent writer. I am so happy that Gambino and his brothers found love. All their women are perfect for them. I just hope everyone remains safe. Would love to read more about them in the future.
I really must thank the author for having the insight to write such a powerful book about a powerful family. Each member of the family was portrayed in such a manner that you simply understood his role in such a dynamic family.
These brothers-Gotti, Luciano and Gambino stood on business behind their family and the women who loved them. Each of them found a woman to balance them out and made them whole. Liked how this was one book rather than three continuous books.
It was good but I felt like each brother should’ve had their own book. It was too much and not enough at the same time. It felt rushed when the other two brothers were added. I needed ore about each one of them and better story lines
