Hold Us Together

Rate this book

KaSyre Masters has always been a ladies' man, but the main focus is his music career and creating an identity independent of his brothers.

Dior Bradley is a strong and independent woman who's determined to make sure her daughter is protected and loved. Her main focus is creating a comfortable life for the two of them.

Backstage passes force an unlikely union which changes the narrative for Dior and KaSyre. Their focuses shift in ways neither of them can foresee. Even the most determined can't deny a universal pull so it's pointless to try.

I Love Nan…and I love her and Prynce’s dynamic….Nan is the star of the show…although she is really was a bit more tame in this story. Age gaps are not my jam and that one scene towards the end wasn’t what I was used to from a T’Lyn story….But, I really did enjoy the Masters Brothers’ saga.

Not for me but a cool story

I love what T’Lyn has done with the other two Masters books but this one fell a bit short for me. The age gap bothered me to the point where it took me out of the story. KaSyre’s journey to becoming a man was great and even his understanding of why his brothers kept him from the family business was good to see. His relationship with Dior although both characters are likable their story seemed off and not believable to me. KaSyre is 21 and Dior is 31 and a single mother. I liked Dior and her strength to be a badass given the unfortunate circumstances around her family. This is frustrating to write because I feel like if the characters were even 26&31 this reads better, but me being 33 is finding it hard to see love with a 21-year-old. I think the other books in this series are fun and you should check them out. And if age gaps don't bother you check out this book too.

4.5✨Hold Us Together owes me nothing. I truly enjoyed this one! After the snippets of KaSyre in the previous stories, it was time for him to tell things from his point of view. Sy was the baby of the Master’s clan, and the family treats him as such, even going as far as saying he makes “dumb ass, rash decisions” and lacks discernment. But Sy said he would show them that he is all man and could stand on his own. The fact remained that Sy was young but that was about all, he showed the family and me that he was that dude!

When Dior finally got to meet her favorite artist, things didn’t go as plan. In fact, she almost missed her opportunity, but it was divine timing. Sy saved her that night and continued to do so throughout the book. The lengths Sy went to have Dior as his was admirable and I was squealing time and time again. I empathized with Dior, she was a single mother and a boss in her own way, but her family was awful. While I loved all things Sy and Dior, I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t highlight the true star of the book- Kiari. I loved the light and innocence she brought to the book. T’Lyn does such a great job highlighting the voices of kids in her books.

Overall, this book was a great addition to the series. I truly think Dior was just what Sy needed; he matured so quickly when he was with her, and everyone noticed. Their banter and sexual chemistry were on point; I couldn’t even tell there was an age gap. And as always, there was drama, but it was much needed. I wanted to fight Constance and Brandi, like, I just know they had marbles for brains. Lol! I loved how Sy showered Dior with love and affirmations. My favorite scene was when Dior was in the studio with Sy and got on the track with him. I was like yess! I cannot wait to see what’s next!

KaSyre Masters

Baby boy! When I say this series was EVERYTHING, I mean it was everything. These three brothers were one and the same in certain situations. KaSyre may not have been in the family business like MyKyng and Prynceton, but he was most definitely a Masters. He was a talented artist, entertainer, and singer. KaSyre did the opposite of what most men do. He went for the older woman instead of the younger one. The incident that led to him meeting Dior was a major pivot in his life. He started to change from a boy and mature to a man. Dior deserved a man like KaSyre in her life because the father of her child was not it. Dior was the custodial parent who was taking care of Kiari. Kiari was quite intelligent for her age, but she was bullied by her cousins. Her cousins needed some mothering while their mothers could use some morals, values, and home training. I was glad when Dior finally set the record straight with them. She did not allow her sisters to ruin her peace. She also followed her heart and fell in love with KaSyre. KaSyre knew her and Kiari was a package deal, so she instantly became his daughter. He took care of anything that his ladies needed.

Ladies and gents, if you have not gotten into this series, I highly advise that you do. The three brothers have an unbreakable bond. Prynceton made all three books for me because he was consistently unhinged in every book. The scene where Ari goes to him about her father taking her necklace is my favorite. Also, the one where he takes the painting from Ari's father's house. Nan was a true grandmother she had zero filter and had no respecter person when she addressed someone. Everyone got the smoke. This masterpiece is filled with many issues, including someone trying to play in KaSyre's face about a baby. It is betrayal, growth, and love that blossoms from one cover to the other. You will be so engaged that you will read it in one sitting.

✨Famous Singer
✨Single Mom
✨Slight Age Gap
✨Family


The baby of the crew and he is on his grown man status. You honestly forget is age reading this book. If you read the second book you know something pops off at the end and it involves our baby Sy. If you know the brothers they don’t play about him!

Dior single mother who worked at the bank and nothing was more important in her life then her her baby girl our little singer/cheerleader Arie.

If you’ve read the others book we know the oldest Kyng is every bit of the boss he is, and Prynce the middle son is crazy is not the one you want cross and we see all of that in this book. Sy might be the youngest and his brother kept him out of the “lifestyle “. But we see he may be young be he can hold his own.
The relationship that bloomed between SY and Dior was so adorable, I love seeing a man loving on his woman right!
Now Nan and Prynce gonna have you in stitches! One thing I was happy to see was Sy showcasing Dior and our little baby Aier on stage ❤️
I love this family!! I hope to keep seeing them!

I really liked the couple and adored KaSyre's family and his relationships with his brother. However, the age gap(but specifically KaSyre's age) really took me out of it. It's not the decade between them but rather that KaSyre is 21. While he was devoted to Dior, her daughter and his family, it simply didn't seem realistic.

Also, KaSyre's brothers are a trip so I'm definitely going back and reading their books.

Oh man I loved these brothers down bad! Baby boy of the crew KaSyre Masters just as charming as his brothers. He did not disappoint when he locked in on Dior he wasn’t letting up. ❤️🫶🏾

I lowkey loved that she was older and established, just wanting a life partner and could care less about his celebrity status. You already know Prynce and Nan acting up in this one as well. 😄😂
I loved to see Destiny, Safari, Desiree, Kehlani, & Royalty welcome Dior and Ny into the sister/cousin/friend group.
I would love to read Royalty’s book until then I’m going to miss these brothers.

Favorite quote “Naw, baby, no buts. You my girl and that’s my job, to make sure you good. Let me do me and take care of you. Aight?”🥰❤️

Let's hear it for the boys

The boys are back and they were too much fun. Although Dior was a little older than KaySyre, their relationship did not feel creepy. The difference wasn't enough to cringe about, and they were grown. KaySyre's siblings gave him the business about his lack of street-smarts way too much. But that's expected. I've said this before, I will say it again, the tired hang on too long female's theme has run its course with me. Grown folks fighting too! I enjoyed the story more when the story focused on KaySyre, his music, and Dior. Kairi was the other bright spot. 4.0 stars.

⭐️⭐️

Definitely in the minority here, but this was mid for me. I loved Kyng’s story the most out of the entire series. And Prynce and Safari were good. But this… the 10 year age gap sent me. My mind immediately went to Draya and the baby she got pregnant by. So this was a dud for me from the beginning.

I tried overlooking the age thing, but a 31 y/o with a 21 y/o. Especially his immature behind was a no. Plus I don’t feel like their relationship ever developed. It was him constantly telling her she’s fine, telling her she was his future wife, and sex. Unlike Kyng and even Prynce we got to experience the build up on their unions.

I agreed with his mama it’s a no for me. Sorry 🤷🏾‍♀️

Sy and Dior were sooo cute. I love a man that steps up and Sy did that and more! I love the character development he went through because I always saw him as childish in his brothers stories but I feel like Dior matured him and brought out another side of him. Dior is a boss and I loved how she always stood on her respect and how good of a mother she was. She never let nobody play with her and I loved that. Sometimes I truly forgot they had an age gap because Sy gave grown man vibes with Dior.

As always, I loved the Masters family and everything about them. They ride for each other at all times with no questions asked. Dior and Nyasia relationship was hilarious and gave me ride or die vibes for sure. I also loved the bond Ari had with Sy and how he was always there for her. Diors sisters were bitter and jealous. I really enjoyed reading about the Masters brother and I’m sad my time has come to an end with them.

Master-ful!!!

Run and get this book!!! You will not be sorry. This is an age gap, Rapstar, single, mom, romance and it is everything. I’m writing this review right after reading the last sentence and I’m just can’t stop smiling. This is book three of the Masters brothers series. KaSyre Masters is a rapper/singer and Dior works in banking. They meet at a Meet and Greet after one of his concerts and it is love at first sight for him. The road to their HEA is filled with cute little girls, found family, secret, singing talents, social media bombs, and a little bit of hood action. Dior is no pushover and KaSyre proves to her that age ain’t nothing but a number. You will love this story. And any story that contains his grandmother, Nan, and his brother Prynce is A-OK with me. 10 out of 10, no notes! Ms. T’Lyn has hit it out of the park again. Enjoy!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sis you never fail me and I loved everything about this read. Sy was out here trying to prove that he was a grown man now and wanted to stop being treated like a baby. Prynce was still very much unhinged and Kyng still so serious lol. Dior was just out her living to make she her daughter had a great life. Ari was my girl, I just loved her personality!!! There were some ups and downs but the couple were made for each other. This was the best aged gap read I’ve read and I was here for it. Great job as always T’Lyn !!!

Yass hunny! I love me an age gap romance but more than that I love a man that knows what and who he wants and goes for it with all good intentions with pressure. I’m talking about Big Sy not Lil because he was all man and not boy even though he was the baby of the family. I loved him for Dior and Ari and I am so glad that she didn’t get in her own way and let that man love her down. This was a great series and I’m going to miss the Masters brothers real bad… I can’t wait for what’s next

really liked this one

Age gap but she’s older? Yes. I really enjoyed this one. Pretty much insta-love. I really liked Dior. Sy was cool too. Pryncess Ari stole the show. I don’t know the last time I read when a woman had a wig. It was kind of refreshing.

What happened with Dior’s mom and the burn? That was kind of left unanswered.

Hold Me baby

I loved this read. Of course catching up with the brothers is always a treat! Prynce so far is still my favorite! But Kasyre was sweet and genuine. A bit naive at times but he stood on business and moved with a purpose. Great follow up!!

Good read

KaSyre & Dior!!! These two had me smiling all night long! Sy was instantly smitten with Di. And when the first touch, they both feel the sparks. There's a lot going on in this story. So be ready for the ride.

too many curse words!!!

Too many curse words which distracted from the story. Read three pages and stopped. It was impossible to ignore as the amount of curse words was excessive.

Great Series

I loved the series. The Master brothers were pure entertainment. Nan was my favorite, though. I didn't like that you made Constance out to be a hater. She was a down ass friend in all the other books, and to do that to her didn't sit right with me but everything else was good

10 10 10!!

I will certainly miss the Masters! I have chuckled and smiled from the minute KC Mills announced the book was live and am still smiling as I wrote this quick review.

I have been smitten with MyKyng Masters since day one! His swag, persona, If I could still have children, my sons name would be MyKyng because I love the way it rolls off one's tongue 👅.

However, middle brother Prynce has shown his a$$ & crazy this whole book. His alpha was flexing right off those pages when his crazywasn't!

Even baby girl knew what was up. "Uncle P said he was a real nigga and he was going to always have my back and all I had to do was tell him when someone was fu⁠—”

When baby bro got touched, they felt it!

Now, It has always been implied. The Masters were not the ones to play with, but this was when I knew they were ALL crazy:

'“Is that what I said?” P smirked and I shook my head while chuckling. The 🥷 was really out of his F'ing mind. “Bruh.” Kyng chuckled." IYKYK 😉

Now, KaSyre! The cover ☑️ the likness fit the character and I stared wayyy longer than I should have. 😍

Title name ☑️ he went above and beyond to secure his lil family and put in the work to Hold them Together.

Dior - can't even call my girl a cougar because KaSyre pursued her. She was older but somehow less experienced and so seemed to fit. She was no pushover and just couldn't or wouldn't stand up to her family. I think being around so much emotional abuse she just kept waiting for the shoe to drop when things where going so well .

BDE:Spice:🌶🌶🌶 baby boy came with it!

I said what I said!
As always: don't take my word for it.
Read the book, form your own opinions, and support your authors!

Quote: “I won’t whoop two bitches asses on her day, but tomorrow I have unlimited supply of cans of whoop ass.Come find me, hoe.”

Whew chilllleeee T MFN LYN has me in a chokehold. I am coming back to you with another series of standalones. It is advised that you read all of them for the best reading experience. I read all 3 of the books backwards, which I probably should not have done.😂 Do as I say, not as I do. 😂 Either way, this is a must read. DISCLAIMER: 95% of the things I read have a trigger warning and I love it. Protect your peace and mental health at all cost!!!

Just like all of my reviews, I won’t spoil it for you, but what I can say is you will not regret reading this because I’m already ready for a reread! . This is the journey of our MMC Kasyre. KaSyre is the baby of the family, trying to forge a path for himself. He is a famous and talented musician who falls for our FMC Dior at a meet and greet. (My visual collage that goes with this review has a Chris Brown meet and greet picture.😂) Dior, is a single mother working at the bank, when meeting her favorite artist after his concert. An unfortunate event becomes the start of a whirlwind romance with straight PRESSURE.

Overall, this was such a good read! The characters were so well written, I felt like I knew them personally. There were so many times I wanted to punch the air, but I held my composure.😂 The plot was definitely plottin, but I can agree it’s really better to read alll three books. Special shout-out to T’Lyn for writing the relationship dynamics of close siblings. Their interactions will have you crying tears of laughter! I was laughing the entire time, and please do not get me started on Nan!!! IYKYK!

You will love this book if you love age cap romance, plot, spice, and of course this genre Urban Fiction.IYKYK! Again, check your trigger warnings. Happy reading!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (based on my own delu lu scale)
Spice:🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (based on my own delu lu scale)

The Family!!

KaSyre wanted to be apart of the family so bad, but he was the baby of the family and Kyng said no. He participated in family things but wasn't apart of the family. If you know what I mean. When he was recovering he had his people got their information. He checked Dior and Ny'Asia was alright. He Dior and he wasn't going to stop until he got her. Dior is a manager in training and she a four year old daughter. A best friend who acts like a sister. She also has some messy and miserable sister and a jealous baby daddy. A mama who takes the side,of the sisters knowing their messy and miserable. Sy got a chick who claiming she's pregnant by him knowing she wasn't. She trying the bag from Sy for her and her real baby daddy. He bought the tattle tales from Peighton knowing that she was going to ask permission to do anything. Grand and Constance all most the worst of them all. Grand tried to keep Sy in that bogus shading deal and Constance who tried situationship more than what it was even with his family. Sy loves Dior daughter like his own. Sy brought that BDE. Their chemistry is off the charts. Nan doesn't care what comes out of her mouth. Now Sy has a family of his own.

4.6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okkkk Sy & Dior

Sy & Dior did not disappoint , it wasn’t my favorite but still they did what needed to be done… I love that fact she was older than him also, At first I was like how this going to go but then surprise I was feeling it more than a lil bit! 🙃

First let’s talk about the master brother and family! I love first of course how close they are and how Kyng & Prynce love on sy and how they step in when they need to even though sy keeping talking about I’m a MAN, Chile …. the banter with all of them and Nan is untouchable!!! I live!!!

Nan just in her own lane !!!!! Still funny Asf!


Then I like the fact how all the brothers apply pressure and not letting up and love the girl & kid they went down!!! That’s the major highlight for me . It’s how the be with the kids for me also!!!!

I’m going to miss them something serious!😒

SN : PRYNCE is still my favorite and I’m a little bitter that we didn’t get to see him and safari wedding but experience the rest I need a lil book just about them!! 🥰 but forreal !

Kyng & PRYNCE together both UNHINGED that revenge scene everything!!! Df they thought!

If you started with book 1 might as well see it through cause T’Lyn Is that girl! Tap in! 📖
