Let’s Make A Deal
Hmmm 🧐, “Bully (The Protector - Book 7) was an endearing love story for Innvy & Bully, their family & new beginnings 🤩. G.R.E.A.T (TT’s🐯 voice 🤭)‼️ However, the friendships, brotherhood & or alliances which has/had developed between the “protectors” & the “??? 🤔” series/installments (since 2023) were relevant and adjacent by association but the plot development remained convoluted to that specific storyline 🤦🏾♀️🥴‼️Honestly, B. Love’s writing style in this book & or this series is/was exasperating. There’s no concrete substance or context to these “Alpha Male” characters other than implied “entrepreneurs”, “billionaires”, “hoodologist”, “bullies” & or “box 😻 aficionados” 🤭🤷🏾♀️‼️ Nonetheless, I can’t fathom how “PJ” & “Rocco” whom we’ve never heard of prior to this “Bully…” book 🤨 were they ever a threat⁉️More so, with an army of enforcers & an AK 47 at his disposal why was Bully’s random request, subsequently one year absence etc. & the end of an NBA career a plausible resolution🥴🤦🏾♀️⁉️ Now, I appreciate & support artistic creativity & entertaining but anymore these “protectors” series provide minimal character continuity. ….“In exchange for him never asking me to do anything else & keeping Andre’s murder a secret, Karrington would become his new supplier & offer him a twenty-five percent discount.” WHAT⁉️ One hundred & forty six pages later and a single “let’s make a deal” 🤝 was a fair exchange for disregarding Bully’s personal life, career & jeopardizing the welfare of his family🥴⁉️ REALLY⁉️…I guess soooo🍷🤷🏾♀️‼️

Bully and Innvy!!
When I read in a previous book about Bully leaving, I knew that he had to have a very important reason for doing so. Turns out, he did. When he was able to make it back to Innvy and his baby girl, he had his work cut out for himself with Innvy. I didn't blame Innvy for her anger and disappointment because Bully could have communicated better with her. I did love the way Bully was determined to get his family back. He showed both of his girls that he loved them with all of his heart, and he wouldn't be satisfied until they were back in his life. I enjoyed how his actions and their talks led them back together again. I also loved how the guys had Bully's back while he was gone and even when he came back. I laughed when Moore aka Mr. Rogers learned the hard way that Bully wasn't playing about Innvy. 😂😂 I was hoping Rocco and PJ would get what was coming to them because I don't want them rearing their ugly heads again but no such luck. 🙄 I truly enjoyed this book from the very first page to the ending. Great job as usual, B!!

A Story of Redemption and Hope
Second chances are the heartbeat of human resilience. Our journey isn't always linear, and personal growth often requires time, patience, and self-reflection. Sometimes we stumble, falter, or feel lost, but the potential for transformation remains constant. Whether it takes weeks, months, or years, the path to self-discovery and personal improvement is unique to each individual. Life's experiences shape our understanding of ourselves and our value, teaching us lessons that ultimately guide us toward our true potential. True connection emerges when we embrace vulnerability and honestly acknowledge our place in each other's lives, recognizing that growth is a shared, compassionate process. Great Read! Renee G

Oo, you was taking me through it. I've been waiting on this story. It was a page turner from start to finish.
Bully was Bae! Unfortunately, things happened not under control, which caused him to back out of his wedding with Innvy. He kept his word and returned back to reclaim his woman and baby. However, he had to work to get back in her good graces. He put the kabosch on next-door neighbor Moore, who thought that was swooping in.
Loved the story and how it progressed. Bully couldn't find a better crew that embraced and looked out for each other.
The ending was perfect for this couple. I am excited to read the finale of the "Protectors" series.

Bully ( The Protectors Book 7)
I'm sad to see this series come to an end. I love everything about the Protectors. I wasn't sure what was going on with Bully, so I'm happy that we were given a back story. I love Bully and Innvy together. They were instantly attracted to each other at their first meeting.
I was sure she was going to give him another chance, but I'm happy that she did. Bully loved his family, and his sister was his world, so protecting her was a no brainer. He should have told Innvy what was happening, but he made a promise.
In the end, it all worked out and I love that for them!
Very good series!!!!

A love story, that embodied trust, love, compassion, family and friends!Bully and Innvy were finally able to get their happily ever after, Bully was truly her protector. I love how family and friends supported both Innvy and Bully, in spite of Bully's leaving unexpectedly. The family portrayal was on point as well! Looking forward to reading part 2 of the protectors.

I love this series ♥️
Bully is up next, and his story doesn't disappoint. Circumstances lead him to leave the love of his life at the most inopportune time. Innvy needless to say, is shocked and at a loss for words. Bully does what he does best: protect. Bully and Innvy make me smile. Just knowing that there may be more drama from The Protectors gives me hope. As always, it's my pleasure reading your books. 🥰

Bully
This was a nice conclusion to The Protectors series. I liked Bully and Innvy together. They loved each other down. Bully was a protector in every sense of the word. He was not playing any games about his girls. I also liked how the crew always had each other’s backs and would step in and help where necessary and without question. They had a true brother and sisterhood. It was good to see Bully and Innvy finally get to their happily ever after. 3.75/5 stars

Bully for the win!
Short sweet and right to the point. He knew exactly what he wanted and knew he messed up. He did everything to make it right while listening to his partners concerns. He was a protector and I loved how his protecting was different from the other stories. Great read!

It feels like I waited a long time for this book. I’m glad I wasn’t disappointed. I did feel like the baby was progressing at the speed of light but it’s fiction right?! It was good to catch up with the rest of the crew. Can’t wait til Fall to really see how everyone is doing!!

BULLY & INNVY ❤️
This book picks right back up where we left off with Bully leaving on the most important day of his life. Although he comes back, it isn't easy for him and Innvy. Bully is a protector and is always in protective mode when it comes to family. I loved their journey back to the way they were before things changed. Can't wait for what's next

The Man Bully
This book showed what loyalty is. She waited on him. I loved that part. How often do went see that happen? I have tried to read all this Author's books because she never Disappoints.
I was waiting on Bully's story because of his interactions with the other Protectors.😁

Another good and quick read from the crew. I wasn’t feeling his reasons for leaving, because it would have taken 2 minutes to give an explanation. And for that reason I wish that Innvy would have made him work a little harder before she accepted him back. But just like the other members in the group they all were strong Alpha male characters.

What a read
I'm so glad everything worked out in Bully's favor. I kinda of knew it was because the love that those two shared couldn't be replaced. I really wish they could've handled Rocco but we can't get everything we wish for. Great ending to the Protectors series. I loved every last book.

Not on the list
I LOVE the Protectors series. Merc and Asylum are probably my favorites and I really wanted to like this one. Sadly, I was disappointed. It seemed SO rushed. I didn’t care too much for the storyline but that could’ve been helped with more well developed areas of the story. I wouldn’t recommend this one, except to skip.

Was a hothead and there is nothing you can tell him when he’s in protection mode! The love he has for his girls takes him over the edge. This series was so good and look forward to catching up with the crew.
And yes start the next storyline with the young cats.

It amazes me every time B. Love releases a new book in this series. I've read every one of them, and she's made me fall in love with every one of them. Bully is no different. He and Innvy's story was perfect.

God makes no mistakes. He left but returned 9 months later. No contact, no reason. Was it worth the wait? Read and find out how Bully and Innvy get their second chance. Beautiful story,

It was on ok read
I would've liked it better if he had to do more to win her back. Leaving her at the altar pregnant and M.I.A for 9 months warranted a little more work IMO....maybe more dates with othwr people even if not sexual...I don't know...it was just okay for me.

Keep it coming girl! We would like a book for the hoodlums, want to see how they love and what they learned from the old heads. Great job glad Bully and Innvy figured it out.

Bully was that dude
Really good read. I wasn’t a fan of Innvy attitude about how everything went down but understood her resolve. Bully was that protector who didn’t come to the realization that he himself needed protection at some point. Them brother/friends were the real team

Good read!
Pretty good read that actually kept my attention. I enjoyed the way that the families protected each other. Bully and Inman’s romance survived disappointments and secrets and they were able to get things together in the end.
