Rate this book
They say if you don't have trust, you don't have a marriage. In the fifth and final installment of Good Girls Love Thugs: Nic and Kendrick, the couple learns just how important trusting one another is. When an incident occurs, putting Kendrick in the middle of a scandal, Nic has to figure out whether she should trust her man or move on to greener pastures. Kendrick loves his wife more than anything, but sometimes love just isn't enough; especially when there is another man who is willing to stick by Nic through thick and thin. Will Kendrick be able to convince Nic that despite his mistakes, she belongs with him, or will he have to accept that she's moved on to a man that she feels will treat her the way she deserves to be treated. Get on this emotional roller coaster ride, and find out if this good girl will forever love her thug, or simply leave him in the dust.

I feel like book 5 ruined the series for me. I binge read the entire series over the weekend and book 5 took a lot of energy for me to finish.

I feel like this book, ruined the ideal that I had of Nic because she just seems so fragile, gullible, and without a backbone. I understand her reasoning for wanting to leave Kendrick and potentially move on and I also understand why it was so hard for her to leave him. But the way that she went about it and the constant arguing and crying and pushing him away, but then also getting mad at him for doing what she said, and then telling him that he’s not fighting for her but then when he’s fighting for her, she’s telling him to stop… That was too much! And then she also settled for Quincy while doing the same thing she was mad at Michael and Kendrick for doing… Cheating.

The previous books in the series portrayed Nic as having a backbone and being strong and opinionated, and smart! However, this book made her look very gullible and weak minded. When re-introduced to her, we were told that she graduated and had her bachelors and was working on her masters, and had also open a new salon with her friends. This gave me the ideal that she was a boss lady. But honestly, all the crying and back-and-forth was a turn off for me for this book. unfortunately.

Good Girls Love Thugs 1-5

Repetition repetitive book after book. I continued through the entire series. Same story over and over. I wish the author put as much time into developing the characters. The challenging part for the author was coming up with names that start with the letter K. Should have been one solid novel and I would have rated higher and given another of her books a try but, even free reads during a pandemic cost too much.

This was good!

Good read just like the rest...Nic got on my nerves though but I'm glad she and Kendrick got it together! I wish she would have had a girl...I could never get tired of reading about the King Men!

Truly enjoyed books 1-4 of the series but book 5 didn't have a purpose 🤷🏾‍♀️. I still love me some Shvonne and will keep it moving to the next series.

Should have ended with book 4

This book was ok but it was completely unnecessary. Why didn't she end this book with part 4? Nic was a complete sex crazed nut case. The plot made no sense. You stay when he cheats ( he was honest about it) but leave when he does nothing wrong and all of a sudden he's a liar after 3 years??? For me this was ok but wasn't necessary at all.

Wish I could get my time reading this back!

The storyline was just unbelievable!!! The way Nic acted before and after finding out that Kendrick didn't cheat was so immature and childish!!!

Man I am so glad that she didn't make the worst mistake of her life. Mr. King played to much and his wife broke. But I knew he was a thug.

THIS STORY REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER HOOD/STREET ROMANCE SERIES BASED ON THE EAST COAST (NEW JERSEY) CALLED "KEYSHIA & CASHMERE", WHERE THE COUPLE WERE YOUNG, THE MALE A HOOD WEALTHY 'STREET PHARMACIST' WHO COULDN'T KEEP HIS D--K OUT OF OTHER FEMALES WHILE HE HAD A GOOD, ALWAYS FORGIVING WOMAN WHO BARE HIM CHILDREN- AT THE CRIB AS HE (CASHMERE) KEPT CHEATING & EXPECTING HIS BABY MAMA (KEYSHIA) TO FORGIVE HIM EVERYTIME WHICH SHE HAD UNTIL SHE'D GOTTEN FED UP & STOPPED!
IN THAT SERIES, "CASH" KEPT CHEATING ON "KEYSHIA", WHO'D FARGAVE HIM UNTIL HIS BAHAVIORS HAD ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF HERS & THE KIDS SHE SHARED WITH HER CHEATING BF/BD. Only then did "KEYSHIA"-WHO LIKE "NIC" IN "GGLT" SERIES-GREW TIRED OF "CASH"'S CHEATING & TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER GOOD GIRL STATUS, AS DOES "KENDRICK" DOES IN THIS SERIES, & "KEYSHIA" LEFT "CASHMERE" SOMEWHERE AROUND BOOK 2 OF THE THREE BOOK SERIES & STARTED SOMETHING UP WITH AN OLD BEAU NAMED "RICO", WHO "CASH" COULDN'T STAND & ALWAYS FOUGHT ON A REGULAR BASIS, JUST LIKE "KENDRICK" DOES TOWARDS "NIC"'S NEW DUDE IN THIS SERIES.
JUST LIKE WITH KENDRICK" & "NIC", "KEYSHIA" & "CASHMERE" KEPT SCREWING EACH OTHER WHILE THEY WERE LIVING APART & THEY COULDN'T GET LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE DESPITE WANTING TO SCREW OTHER PEOPLE. ONLY IN "KEYSHIA & CASHMERE"'S SERIES THE SEX SCENES WERE MUCH BETTER DESCRIBED, & WAS NOT A COPY, PAST, REPEAT' WITH EVERY COUPLE IN THE SERIES IN ALL FIVE BOOKS AS WAS BADLY WRITTEN IN THIS SERIES:"GGLT"!!!!!!!!!!!
AS I SKIPPED OVER ALL THE 'COPY-PASTE-REPEAT' BADLY WRITTEN SEX SCENES IN THIS SERIES-IN ALL 5 BOOKS!-I FOUND BOTH "KENDRICK"& "NIC" AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE SERIES TO BE QUITE ANNOYING & VERY MUCH UNWORTHY OF A BOOK LET-ALONE A 5-BOOK SERIES!
IN FACT, I AGREE WITH ONE REVIEWER OF THEIS SERIES THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN JUST ONE BOOK, INSTEAD OF A FIVE BOOK SERIES!
THAT BEING SAID, I FOUND THE ASSHOLE KING CREW TO BE NOT WORTHY OF BEING CALLED KINGS, INCLUDING & ESPECIALLY THEIR FATHER, WHO'D STEPPED OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN MARRIAGE & CONCEIVED A SON WITH HIS ASIAN MIXED WITH BLACK 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT' & LIED TO HIS WIFE & SUPPOSED QUEEN ABOUT THE NATURE OF WHO HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT HAD BEEN TO HIM!
THESE BROTHERS/COUSINS, & ESPECIALLY THEIR FATHER DID WRONG TOWARDS THE FEMALES IN THEIR LIVES(NOTICE HOW I NEVER REFERRED TO THE FEMALES AS 'WOMEN' GIVEN THE CHICKS IN THE SERIES WERE SUPER YOUNG CHICKS, WHICH BORDERS ON PEDOPHILIA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE KING BOYS MOM, WHO DEBATED WHETHER SHE SHOULD LEAVE HER CHEATING HUSBAND, BUT ENDED UP FORGIVING & F--KING HIM WHICH KENDRICK" DISCOVERED THEM DOING IN THEIR BEDROOM UPON DISTURBING THEM!) & HAD THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY TO GET PISSED OFF WITH THE FEMALES THEY'D CHEATED ON FOR NOT IMMEDIATELY FORGIVING THEM FOR THEIR WILLFUL CHEATING & DISRESPECTING THEIR RELATIONSHIPS!!!
I WOULD'VE RESPECTED "NIC" (& ESPECIALLY "KEYSHIA" IN THE KEYSHIA & CASHMERE" SERIES!!!) IF SHE WOULD'VE STOPPED ALLOWING "KENDRICK" TO CONTIUNE SCREWING HER & TELLING HER THAT SHE WOULDN'T FIND ANYONE BETTER THAN HIM BECAUSE HE'S A MUTHAF--KIN' KING! "NIC" SHOULD'VE STUCK TO HER GUNS, STOP SCREWING "KENDRICK", MOVED ON WITH SOMEONE MORE BEFITTING- WHO COULD PROPERLY DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST HER JACKASS BD-IN ORDER TO DEMAND THE RESPECT THAT WAS LACKING FROM THE DUDE WHO WAS HER HUSBAND BUT ACTED AS THOUGH HIS D--K WAS FOR EVERY CHICK WITH A SLIT!
ONLY THEN WOULD I HAD GAINED RESPECT FOR "NIC" & ALL THE OTHER CHICKS WHO'D ALLOWED THE KING FAM TO DISRESPECT THEM THROUGHOUT THE BOOK SERIES & THEY FAILED TO TAKE A STAND FOR THEMSELVES!
I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE SERIES HAD BEEN WRITTEN BY A FEMALE. BUT, THEN AGAIN, ONLY SOMEONE UH, YOUNG MINDED COULD CRAFT SOME BULLSH-T LIKE THIS & SPAN IT FOR A 5 BOOK SERIES. I'M NOT AT ALL TRYING TO BE RUDE OR MEAN; I 'M TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ALL WRITERS, BUT ESPECIALLY FEMALE WRITERS, TO CRAFT & RELEASE BETTER SH-T TO BUILD THEIR FOLLOWING TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO WOULD NEVER EVER ACCEPT SUCH BEHAVIORS OF MALE-FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE WORK OF FICTION!
IN CLOSING, IF YOU HADN'T FIGURED OUT AFTER EVERY POINT I'D MADE IN THIS REVIEW/SUMMARY OF THE "GGLT" SERIES, I DID NOT F--KIN' LIKE THIS SERIES, THAT SHOULD HAD BEEN ONE BOOK!

Unnecessary

I’m sorry but for this series to have 5 WHOLE BOOKS is ridiculous. Too many different characters. Too many repetitive scenes. Too predictable. And don’t get me started on the last book in the series. What was the point of that? At this point I’ve read quite a few of this author’s books and I must say that her work hasn’t shown much growth. Her books recycle the same story arcs and characters. Shes obsessed with light skin and light eyes. And she loves a good tube top or dress. Idk this series wasn’t good. There is so much infidelity the women just take the men back because of good sex and they just love them so much. Which made BOOK 5 even more useless. Why hold things against this man that happened YEARS ago especially when y’all have moved past it. Your marriage is finally in a decent place and you ruin it over what you think you know. I’m sorry but NIC was insufferable in this book. Just straight damn childish. Ken is better than me because I would have walked away instead of allowing someone to play with my emotions and waste my time. Simply because they felt like it was okay to do. Yea this series overall rating is 2/5 stars.

Thoughts while reading:

Nic and Kendrick

Ok Nic, the Valedictorian .. let’s go!

Not KJ said I’m real ninja now 😂😂😂

Yes Kendrick you and strippers do not go together.

KJ little ahh bad af 😂😂

Not a reformed crackhead to a crack party 😂

Why I feel like this fool about to cheat again.

Not the stripper tried to take the goodies.

Not this is my mom homie.. KJ 😂😂 little man my favorite.

Yea them bad memories will get you every time.. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Not you would have thought she beat him 😂😂

You can’t penalize him for things you already forgiven him for- clock it, cause that’s some real shit.

Not Quincy being pressed to stay with her even with her being pregnant again by Kendrick.

Jessica a real one.. that dude Quincy is wack.

Oop not Stacey set him up.

Glad they both found the way back to each other.

Thugs

Wooooooooo that was some kind of ending. I really thought it was gonna you know but am glad things turned out for the better. Eventhough he's toxic I believe he brings the best out her n she does the same for him. Its crazy how Carmen did all that because she couldn't get the penis like girl get over it you a stripper not someone girlfriend. Stacie she was something else too like the things a female will do when she feels they may lose the dude or can't have him they do the most but get their own selves dead lmaoo. When it ended it had me really wanted more wish it didn't have to end. Yall must read this series.

Part 4 was enough!

Okay, Although I love how family oriented every character is in this series. I could have truly passed on this book because it was downright repetiré and Nic with her confused ass got on my nerves with her crazy logic and all that back and fourth… God bless whoever can read this without skipping a few pages. No disrespect to the author because I actually like 1-4.

Excellent Read

The King men definitely kept me interested in all the books!! At first in part 1 I almost stopped reading it. Once the females became involved with the King men the story kept me wanting for more!! Nic and Kendrick were my favorite characters!!! At first I kept confusing Nic for a male's name. Awesome job Shvonne Latrice!!!!

I read 1-5 and they were all good books but i'm in the middle of 5 and Nic has got on my second to last nerve. I don't understand how all the times Kendrick comes to you and say "hey i cheated i am sorry" that you cry and take him back and then the moment he say " I didn't cheat" you don't believe him and want to leave. Shaking my head. But i love all books by Shvonne Latrice.

Big Let Down

I read all 5 books in the series. Some things became repetitive in the Series, but my biggest disappointment was when Nic and Kendrick split up and 3 weeks later she was engaged to another guy. You can't even file for a divorce that fast.
It's like the tone of Nic changed too.

Intense

This series had me gone. I was glad that the book ended happily. I was wondering if there was twist coming with every paged I turned. I cried during every happy and sad moment. Had me thinking I was emotional. Job well done!! What's next for you? I am ready for another series... lol

Forever love

Nic and Kendrick had that forever love. I love how they had a connection even when they spit up and wasn’t around each other. Nic I know once you loose trust it’s hard to believe but if your man has never lied to you trust him continuously. This was a great read and I can read more from this gang

Series review as a whole: This series was not good. At all. I just wanted to see how it played out. I can definitely tell this was the author’s first books she wrote because there were so many issues. Also the fact that I like her latest series (Crenshaw Kings). Needless to say, I won’t be reading these ever again.
