I enjoyed all of it.
The drama was dramaing
The spice was spicing
The pacing was good
I loved how the brothers were really about that life.
The girls and that little sisterhood they formed 😍😍

Just a fantastic read all around.

When I started this book I literally was sitting on the edge of my seat filled with anticipation. I just couldn't begin to fathom how Ms. K.C. Mills was going to possibly top herself!!! I mean let's face it, she has put out over 20 books and each one has been better than the next. She continuously WOW's me and to be honest when I think she just can't go any further and outdo what she has done previously she ALWAYS proves me WRONG!!! Now prior to the release of this book I think that Rain's Theory was my all-time favorite. I love all of her books but that series had me all in my feelings. While I am saddened to see the place that was once filled by Theory in my heart of hearts, I have to say that I am pleasantly happy to announce that I have now found a brand new book bae that leaves no room for anyone else. The Masters brothers were everything that one would expect Alpha men to be. They were strong, ruthless, protective of family, loyal to one another, and took absolutely NO DISRESPECT FROM ANYONE!!! Out of all of the brothers, Yett, Hayes, and Keys, I would have to say that Yetti just did it for me. Yetti was extremely damaged and because of some of the things that had happened to him he just didn't ever see finding what his brother Hayes and Rah had. He admired their love but he just didn't think that he was equipped emotionally or mentally to give someone a piece of himself that he wasn't even sure existed, his heart. As always in a KC Mills book I laughed, I cried, I yelled but most importantly I CONNECTED with these characters. Yes the men were ruthless and yes they probably should have been in a padded room somewhere but the fact that they were monsters in the street and stand-up men with their women was a quality that many authors are unable to convey convincingly. Ms. Mills never disappoints. She raises the bar time and time again. Her writing truly lets us all know that she really was born to do this. I honestly can envision Ms. Mills sitting on her porch at 90 still cranking out books for me to read and reminisce to thinking of the days of old. This lady's pen game has truly blessed a multitude of people and I can't for the life of me imagine a time when she decides to lay it down. Thank you Ms. Mills for always giving us 100% of you when you put out a story. I always know that when I get to the end of one of your books that you will have satisfied my craving but for only a moment because the next day I'm really feenin' for more!!! Kudos GREAT JOB!!! Can't wait to see what's next!!!

I'm loving this book and I'm loving all the brothers. One thing I like about them is there bond they have with each other. I was happy to see that keys and yetti are both willing to give love a chance. I'm also like the fact that Hayes found his love and is not cheating. I can't wait for part 2 because I know yetti is about to act a fool.

Another BANGER!

There's not I disliked about this book, it deserves 5 stars. Yetti is trying to be so hard but I know he's hurting inside. The brothers have been thru a lot. Part 2 is gonna be good cause it's about to go down.

TRUTH

This story is the truth....a story you hear about all the time but this one pulls you inside. Let's you know the characters and where they came from. Let's you know why they are who they are. I've said it before and I'll say it over and over again..this author never disappoints. This is a must read and I can't wait for part two. Yetti, Hayes, and Keys have an unbreakable bond and I can't wait to get more of them. Asha and Relle have a tight friendship and I'm glad their not backstabbing each other but hold each other down. I also love that Asha is like me and what I aim at being....thick in all the right places with loads of confidence. If you haven't read any of KC Mills books I'm sure this one will hook you and have you wanting more.

Alright but the story just seemed like a big contradiction which quickly turned to annoyance. The opening of the story pretty much describes the mother and father. For the story to be based on what happened in the past and is the reason for the guys being messed up then what’s the difference?

The guys also seemed too emotional for me with the way they were handling things in the street. I get it sometimes but they just seemed too over the top with it when they were doing the same thing to others. The plan for everyone involved is just dumb as well if Hayes goes to jail for what he did to Trey he’d be upset with the attorney then as well. So I’m not sure if I’ll be reading the next one or not.

Finished in less than 24 hours

This was by far a good read. The characters, OMG they came to life. I was intrigued by the relationship of the brothers. I loved it. They were rocking with each other right or wrong. They are all they have. Another plus, the book didn't place the brothers around drugs every other paragraph. Like it was mentioned that they were heavy in the streets once and it was a known fact throughout the book without being stated 12 other times. I could go on and on about how good this read was. I'm impatiently waiting on book 2!!!

Masters men baby

Boe I told you keys,Hayes & yetti are some crazy men but learning the reason omg. Keys is the normal one who brings them all together but he meets his match in asha. Hayes has the family but his insecurities gets to him about his past but he's faithful. Yetti is the wild card and his past haunts him always but meeting Reelle he starts break down his hard wall. The masters men are most wanted in the streets but their respected none the less but what happens when their past demon by the name of dad is back.

Overpowering Masters

These 3 Masters brothers are so overpowering it very sexy but at time too much. Rah is gonna end up leaving Hayes, he really does whatever without thinking of her feelings. I would like to hear from her. Asha & Ree are funny & sassy. They balance each other out so much & the guys they're with also. Yetti, Keys & Hayes are gonna go on a killing spree after what happened in Ree apartment!

Good Beginning

I see this is going to be another good series by Ms. Mills. I wasn't feeling these characters at first. These brothers had baggage they were carrying around that had them looking ugly. They have some good women trying to get to know them if they let them. So far there's a lot of drama but it's about to heat up because while their focus is on Lewis, they're the focus of others. This story has love, drama and action. Loving it so far.

Southern Kings!!!

I must say I love the Masters brothers. Yetti is my favorite. I kept seeing this book and passing it up. I'm sorry that I did. This was definitely worth reading.
This book is about three brothers with a troubling past. Dealing with their mothers death took a toll on them but it bothered Yetti the most. He doesn't know how to love any one other than his brothers, until he meets Reelle.

Masters' Brothers

KC Mills never disappoints! I have yet to read a book or series of hers that I didn't like! After reading the series about Yetti's kids, I decided to double back and read about him and his brothers. Now knowing their back story, I understand why Yetti reacted to his son the way he did in Hood Legacy: Rise of the Young Royals! If you haven't read that series, check it out!

Yasssssss

KC Mills has done it again. She never disappoints with her writing. I fell in love with the Masters brothers, as soon as I started reading. They have been through, seen and done something's in their lifetime. They have a bond that is stronger than gorilla glue. I love it. I am so excited about what is going to possibly happen in part 2. Kudos to the author.

Southern Kings and Queens

The Master's Brother wasn't nothing to play with. Their Father deserved what he got. Cooper should of left him where he was. Rah my ❤ went out to her, with a sister like that she didn't need anymore enemies. Ree parents were both jerks. Asha made me laugh. Glad Keys, Yetti and Hayes got some strong Woman behind them.

Loved this book. The brothers have a great bond and each is as complicated and flawed as the other one. It is a story similar to other's , however , the men are different and the women enhance them without losing themselves. Great action , drama and humor. It is deeper than you think. I highly recommend this book!!!!

OMG!! I love Yettrick "Yetti" Masters!! And Reelle is the Lyric to his Jason...so many demons but a good man is hiding inside.

Keys, Yetti and Hayes Masters are 3 brothers you wouldn't want to cross. They have undying love and loyalty for each other and for those they hold dear to them. I cannot wait to finish this series

It's about to be smoke in city. Yetti is about to shut it down. I'm so glad Yetti and Reelle are finally good. Asha and keys are too cute. And Hayes better get right before he loves his love.
