Hard To Love
She wanted love and a family.
He wanted money, power, and stability.
Dreaux Davis learned early on that if you wanted something in life, you had to get it yourself. After his father was killed, he took on the responsibility of raising his sisters while trying to build his empire in the streets. Love wasn't on his radar until he met a feisty, smart-mouthed beauty who seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. In an attempt to help the young mother, he realizes that he is connected to her in more ways than one.
Peace Graham thought that she was doing the right thing when she took a charge for the man she loved. Never in a million years did she think her sacrifice would come with such damaging consequences. On her own, she questions whether love is worth it as she tries to pick up the pieces of her life. She returns to her hometown with the hopes of a fresh start, but gets more than she bargained for when a handsome stranger leads her to the answers she's been seeking her whole life.
Sometimes the truth can turn your entire world upside down, and other times, it can lead you to everything you ever needed. Love doesn't always play fair, but what's the fun in that anyway?

Really Enjoyed this!!
December 18, 2025
Emotional
I love this story. The story continues. The Graham stories never end. I am glad Dreanux and Peac were able to find each other. The men of Graham had a lot going on. It seems like we are finding out so much about the brothers in each book
Dreamux went through so much
I love how his journey in the books has developed him. He has shown how it took a lot for him to grow to be a person that he could love. I love how Kami showed him loving but never dealing with his past. It was great for him to find out what happened in the past so that he could deal with and grow into a loving man.
Peace was a beautiful woman. She has to learn that everyone is not in your corner. They used and abused her love and loyalty. I was glad that she was able to see who everyone was after being there for them.
It was unique how Dreanux and Peace met and didn't even know. Then, for them to reunite after her doing a bid for a no-good man. You never know who will be a part of your future.
I love how my emotions were all over the place, but it was a great read.
I can't wait to see what is next in the Graham Family Saga.

i was rooting for you !
I’m not gonna lie i feel like Kami has written better stories in this series. One thing i couldn’t get passed was inconsistencies. Like how was Promise almost 3 but Peace and Dreaux hooked up 4 yrs ago. Matter of fact how was there a 3 1/2 year gap between the chapters with peace and Dreaux both in the hotel room and in the next chapter Peace and chop talking and promise is only 6 months old? That doesn’t make sense at all she would have to be older if 3 1/2 years passed between scenes
The story felt rushed especially towards the end. Also i don’t like how she compromised her wants for a man. She didn’t want to have another baby until she was married and yes Dreaux proposed but she didn’t know he would when she got pregnant. Stand on what you want for yourself
Lastly what was the point of bringing up that Chop texted her so late in the book (after seeing the post Dreaux made for her)? It felt like it was just thrown in there.. no follow up or nothing. We were introduced to multiple characters in the beginning and then nothing else was done with those characters.

The Grahams are back in the building! Everything we love about this family the love, the fight, the laughter, and the loyalty is front and center in this one.
From the moment we meet Peace Graham, we already know she’s got that powerful bloodline running through her veins. But sadly, our girl doesn’t see her own worth at first. Surrounded by snakes and yes, I mean her trifling boyfriend, shady cousin, and so-called friend Peace’s kind heart made her a target for people who only meant harm. But life taught her some hard lessons, and once she caught on, she never looked back. And that? I respect deeply.
Deaux was the perfect match for Peace. Everything she lacked in self-belief, he poured into her. And Peace didn’t just love Deaux she taught him how to forgive, something he desperately needed.
I say this every time, but it’s worth repeating: this is a great series. I’m always here for the Graham family stories, and I really hope there’s more to come!

🔥🔥🔥
This was so freaking good, and I expected nothing less from Kami!
Had to take a star away for typos. But Honey, she made up for it on that emotional tapestry she weaves so well. Yess, you will need your tissues, roll your eyes, scream "couldn't been me"! And yess, Kami play too much!
The Grahams characters are so memorable that this book, written years later, seamlessly flows into the series and does not miss a beat.
👀 Can we take a moment to appreciate this cover tho? Because, Yum Chocolaty-Goodness 🥴! Dreaux is foine!!
🤔 Wasn't his trauma familiar to someone else's in the series or am I mixing up my books. I feel like him and Wisdom's trauma (with the older women) was familiar? Let me know in the comments if you know who i'm referring to.
Say what you will about Peace. She says she picked the wrong guys, cause they didn't "love" her correctly. She sure as heck was picking, no broke guys. JS
All in all, Awesome read!

Freaking amazing
The rating I want to give this book is not listed. The way Kami had me questioning my growth from certain situations is a crime. Each time lapse hit me in a different way.
Peace, I am so proud of you. The growth and the way you moved on from what you were used to and comfortable with. We all have our limits and you hit yours.
Dreaux, dang, I did not know all that about you. Your sacrifices were too much but I am happy you had Justice and the rest of The Grahams. Family can be a tricky thing but the ones who adopt you in are pure and true.
This book was everything to ME. I need more.

Peace Be Still
Oh my goodness! I’m over the moon to be getting more of the Grahams. Plot twist in this one as we get introduced to Peace Graham and get to see the lover boy side of Dreaux Davis. Who knew these two coming together after a one night stand would lead to a lifetime of Promise.
There is so much to love about this story and I gobbled up every sentence. And that ending… almost made my heart drop! Please keep the Graham’s Family going- there’s enough of them. Peace was a piece of the story you didn’t know you needed but fit just right.

OMG 😍
Loved, loved, loved! I could not put it down, it was such a good read. Definitely stayed up past my bedtime a few nights lol. I loved Doe and Promise’s relationship from the jump, so cute!
I’m glad my girl Peace finally got that backbone and was able to return the favor for my man Dreaux. Love the Graham family and how they all ride for each other. Ain’t going to lie, the ending had me ready to cry and fight the air, but once that got cleared up lol we good! Recommend 🩷 Another great story from Kami

4.5 ✨
Dreaux pulled at my heartstrings & was a reminder that we
need to check on our strong friends. Peace surprised me in the best way—I loved seeing an FMC who doesn’t let life keep her down and could get active when needed.
That baby shower scene was a whole mess 😬 And Kami… the beginning of that epilogue had me holding my breath!
I loved the found family, the friends, and the Grahams. The only gripe was the timeline after the prologue—it didn’t quite add up. Oh, and Chop definitely needed to be dealt with 😡🤬
Excellent read overall. 📚✨

Great addition to the series!
I really enjoyed Dreaux and Peace’s story. Like previous books in this series the characters went through A Lot. So the storyline was entertaining and heartfelt.
I took off one star due to editing. Spoiler: the thing that was most glaring was the timeline. If dreaux and peace met and then after 3 years and some change (header of the chapter right after) she has a 6 month old….then not sure how that would be his daughter… those kind of details are glaring to me.
But overall good book and would recommend.

Will Always Love The Graham Family!!!
Kami truly does not miss. The Graham family will always be one of my favorite fictional families, and this book reminded me why. Centered on forgiveness and a story that will have you self-reflecting, it challenged my own views on letting things go. Several lines stayed with me long after I finished reading. A powerful, meaningful read—100/10

Dreaux was easy to love
While there were some slight errors with the timeline, the strength of the plot more than made up for it. I loved the direction Kami took with the story, especially the introduction of a long-lost sister; it was a seamless and perfect incorporation into the Graham family dynamic. The romance was beautifully written, and it’s clear that Kami has another hit on her hands.

The Graham Family wins me over again
This was definitely a great book! I love the Graham family. They love hard. Peace definitely deserved the soft life she was given after all the stuff she had been through. D also deserved loved and Peace healed him. And loved him through his hurt.

It was an okay read, but one concern I had was the timeline. That part threw me off. The math ain't mathing. Cause how you have a one night stand with a man then it jumps to “three years and some later” and the baby only 6 months. Then two more years later, Peace gets out of jail (making it 5 years since the one night stand) but Dreaux said it happened 4 years ago. The timeline isn’t consistent.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

had it all
I had to stop what I was doing to read this book! It took me through all the feelings! Peace was a good one! Because she still would have had to see me idc idc! I was right about my theory! I couldn’t put this book down! Outstanding

The Graham’s
Another 5 star read from book 1 to now book 7 each one was well written and the character development is always top tier. This book made me feel every emotion within the pages. Also enjoyed seeing previous characters pop in

Deception
Folks will act like they want what is best for you all while plotting to take your life. Learning to trust and asking for help is a learning mechanism process that reassurance and self awareness are essential.

I love the Grahams they’re one of my favorite bookish families. I also love this spin on the secret baby trope. Peace did piss me off in the beginning because she was giving naive & stupid but she eventually got it together. Overall this was a good book.

AMAZING
I really loved this book. Dreaux, Peace and Promise were everything! Ms. Kami, I thought I was going to have to fight you and end of the last chapter, but the epilogue made me smile and so happy. Now I need the next book in the Graham family serious.

This was a lot more mellow than her other recent releases idk if I come to expect my edges being snatched and drug by my pony tail when I read her stories but this one didn’t do that. It was wonderful read nonetheless.

Dreaux
What a privilege to watch him grow and mature. He had a lot of responsibilities for a young man, but truly discovered how to love, be patient, and forgive. Peace went through a lot as well. They were perfect for one another!

I love me some Grahams, but I was waiting on Dreaux story since made for you. So happy to finally read it. It was nothing short of amazing and heartfelt. I hope Honesty or Freedom is next.

Hard
I was confused at first the Peace was a Graham but doing so badly but then it all made sense. I love how Dreaux instantly took to promise 🤎
