Wedding day! 🤬😤😡Bully had me HOT! Sir… on her wedding day?! I know why he made the choice he did, but I still didn’t like it. Innvy was a much better woman than me because I would’ve made him work a whole lot harder to earn his way back.

Despite that, I really enjoyed this book. Innvy and Bully’s journey was worth the ride, and I was so happy they finally got the wedding they deserved. I’m absolutely loving this series!
B. Love keeps giving us MMCs who are protectors, providers, and completely devoted to the women they love. There were a few spicy moments, plenty of emotion, and another solid addition to the series. 💕😮‍💨

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🍷🤷🏾‍♀️‼️

Added to my favourite second chances instantly

"I will never apologize for doing whatever I have to, to keep you safe. But I can promise you, if you let me back in, I will never willingly leave you again. Just know I’m not giving up on our family. On you. Just say yes, and I’ll earn you, Innvy. All over again.”

Talk about a man with a plan! When Bully came back into Innvy's life, that man was not playing about his girls. He came determined to remind her why she fell in love with him the first time, why he deserved a chance to fix her heart after he broke it, and why his daughter was going to get the daddy she didn't even know she was missing.

Miscommunication was the primary trigger for the conflict in this book between the MCs and it was due mostly to Bully's integrity to uphold his favours, but also some shame because he never wanted Innvy to know the darker side of his past. And the worst part is that they still end up having to face both his past and the reason Bully left all over again, because the past didn't want to release him after fulfilling his end of the arrangement. Character growth is Bully realising this time around that he didn't need to face this battle alone and he had his chosen brothers to help him solve this issue permanently and get back on track to making his family whole.

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!!

BULLY!!!

I loved me some Bully & Innvy!
I cannot lie, I was pressed when Bully dipped out with no real explanation.
But I prayed & hoped he had a good reason.. & he did..
Bully was always a man of his word, unfortunately Rocco lacked honor and integrity. I wish he had gone about the situation differently. I feel like a little communication would have gone a long way, but I understand his reason for making the deal with the devil in the first place.

I enjoyed this road to redemption. There’s beauty in forgiveness, rebuilding trust, and falling deeper in love with your soulmate. I appreciated Innvy’s firmness & tough decision making. & I applaud her for offering Bully the grace and space needed to prove himself to her. She knew her heart only wanted him.
I loved watching them grow and bond as parents. Innah was a doll.

Moore.. sorry to that man.

I’m very satisfied with this conclusion.. I’m crazy about these Protectors & I love when love wins.

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

Innvy was not expecting this to happen on her wedding day but it did. A person Bully through he could trust to handle something for him and take care of a problem for him later, but it did not happen like that but all all the days his wedding day. Now he had to leave to take care of this problem and leave to love of his life. Nine months have gone by and he is back and Innvy don't know it and baby girl is six months old and he wants his family back, Bully is not playing and will do whatever to get his family back and take care of his enemies, these brothers don't play about their family.

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!!!!

Bully and Innvy

Bully owes a favor to someone and it is called in on the day of his wedding. In order to protect his family, he accepts the terms, but this takes him away from his family for almost a year.

Innvy is Bully's pregnant fiance and is left at the alter. Nine months later, he returns and she wants to avoid him. However. They have a child together and she can't avoid him for long.

Inny is trying to sort put her feelings for him, but don't want to reward him for leaving her. They are able to talk and create a path to a positive outcome.

Loved It

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

Amazingly Told 🥰❤️

Y’all the way she tells a love story makes you feel like you’re in a 3D love story the way you can visualize it! This series just keeps getting better with each book. If you haven’t started this journey hop on the lover’s train and if you have already started the series here’s another great book to read. After reading this book you will be Innvy of the love Bully has for his woman!!!

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!

Bully

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.

Bullllllyyyyyy !!! Ughhh I’m so mad he had to leave and ended up missing his daughters birth and a few months but I was for a greater good ! Him and Innvy love was strong from the start so I definitely had faith in them getting back together!

Protect My Love

Bully had to do the unthinkable for his sister. Strange that a favor turned into a payback.
Never think that some people will try to rope you back in to their side.
Bully really loved Innvy,but when duty calls you have to go.
Forgiveness is hard, but necessary.
Great love story.

Bully

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.

Wonderful story about 2nd chances

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,
