I really enjoyed this last book, reason being because you see how the Quinton men grew up and became men from boys. I'm really glad that everyone one got there happy ending. Good read Shvonne Latrice

Get Real...
It was an boring, long, drawn out, unrealistic series. These stories annoy me a little. These men be cheating one day, inlove the next. But still doing their thing on the side with other women, then get mad when their women nag them…BUT, at the same time have a, “if I can’t have you, then no one will” attitude. I’m glad summer found someone else, but to be made out as the Villian was CRAZY! because she was loyal to Rhys for years, Rhys was not faithful to her. But he was the victim in the book and i think this author does that in her other books as well. It’s so annoying, that I don’t think i can read another book from her. He stopped cheating just before she accused him then got mad because she accused him as if he stopped cheating YEARS ago. He was staying in a hotel and wasn’t trying to make it work for his family BEFORE i repeat, BEFORE Summer got fed up, he was already never coming home. He stayed in a hotel for no apparent reason, just so he can cheat whenever. But summer was the bad guy. Then he somehow thought it was better to be with an ESCORT (after summer finally left him) over his loyal gf of 10 years. REALLY! For this ESCORT, he just turned over a new leaf and stopped cheating because he was so inlove with this escort with a heart of gold lol. So Rhys got a HEA with an Escort and Summer had to settle because Rhys didn’t want her back, he chose the escort lol. That part of the story was eh. This needs to be rewritten again. It was horrible. I skimmed through all the chapters because I was over the couples already. And it got predictable because it was sex, kill, repeat….I won’t get started on everybody just getting pregnant. Please…

3.5 Stars
Honestly, I liked part 1 and 2 better than this one. There were some parts of this book that were rushed. I also found it to be alittle boring after awhile. It just seem like it was kind of long and drawn out, which is why I did not give it 5 Stars. I am glad that everyone for the most part got their happily ever after. Those Quinton Brothers were dropping bodies left and right. They were crazy about their women though. Anyway, although this was not my favorite part in series, I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Well, again boring...
This series was not all that at all. In fact it was really boring and I skipped so many pages that I thought I was going to be lost, but nope...it was so predictable and so boring with a little bit of mission impossible including the matrix type of things that it actually made me wish it was over already.
TQ and Kimberlyn was probably the best couple and that's why they were the star couple I think. They went thru so many real life issues and thoughts and it was very refreshing.
Lendsay, Mathikah, Goldie and Brittain are sharing this second best couple spot because I just couldn't decide. I love me some crazy over the top Brittain yet the pacific, cool demeanor of Lendsay was hot.
My least favorite and truthfully the worst couple for me was Rhys, Indya, and Summer. Why go thru all of these trouble since book 1 making me click with a couple and you are simply waiting for one or both parties to wake and live HEA to simply have them breaking up and looking childish, naive and downright desperate and destitute (hint: Rhys and Summer)". I don't even know why they had their own chapters???
And Stony, my goodness, he deserved what he got as well as Ethan, Chayene, Dania, Tylketa, Gang, Aries and the rest.
So again, it was ok and lame... Hope the next series is better

Spoiler alert
I gave this book 4 stars because of Rhys and Summer relationship, i feel a little counseling would have helped. I don't blame Summer for nagging, no wife/girlfriend would accept their husband/boyfriend spending so many nights at a damn hotel and not think they're cheating especially when they've done it before. I really tried but i just couldn't warm up to Indiya and Rhys relationship it just seemed forced/rushed to me. Good read but disappointed.

Kill ALL THE OPPS!!! Am I the only one thinking that?! 🧐 INCLUDING THE DADDY! 😩
It’s way too many psycho exes in this book. Plus their father doesn’t care about NOBODY but himself…
I wasn’t too impressed with Book 1 but after reading it I’m used to this writing style. I just can’t relate to this way of thinking AT ALL. However it is entertaining.
I’m no murderer but geeesh I want them all to die in Book 3 🥴

TQ played no games with his Kimberlyn! What there so called father did to TQ was unforgivable and TQ bided his time to get his revenge. I truly love TQ and Kimberlyn relationship, however, TQ thought he could still be friends with his jump offs but he got to realize that “friendship” will not work at all and Kimberlyn rightly so ain’t having that nonsense in their relationship. If Kimberlyn even thought of being friends with exes TQ will have a conniption fit and eliminate anyone getting close to her. Men are so naive when coming to these trifling women whose only goal is to break up their happy home SMH.
Matikah’s mom was a trifling “H” and just disgusting. I was happy that Lendsey put her mother and all these other women in their place.
Goldie was somewhat naive and gullible regarding her jealous sister and her mother. Goldie wanted to be accepted and loved that she missed a lot of red flags right in front of her face. Britain was not playing and set them all straight.
Happy that Rhys got his HEA and someone who can calm him down because we all know that man is crazy. What I don’t get with these women like Summer, Saya, Goldie when the men raised their hands on them they just take it vs. boiling a pan of grits and deal with them accordingly and also have a frying pan skillet Madea advice style IJS.
Everyone got their HEA after all the jealousy, backstabbing, betrayals etc.

Great READ!!
I think this last part ended just like it was supposed too!! Im not gonna lie throughout the series i felt at times scenes,parts and what they were doing and saying was a little over rated. For them to be gangsta they was sometimes acting a little clowned out smh but trust, i know this fiction so it didnt take away from the book being lagit good . At first in book 1 i didn't like goldie for some reason. But she definitely grew on me in part 2. I also didnt like indiya ....dont get me wrong ,i wasn't to fond of summer either .but i didnt like indiya! It was summer fault she lost him when she kept playing HARD TO GET ... but i learned to like both JUST A LITTLE BIT BY THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS LOL. My favorite was TQ .
Like i said it was a great read ..just a little to overrated or overdone on some scenes BUT definitely worth the read .
I reccomend it 100 percent

Good end to this series!
You Needed Me was a story the enter twined the lives of two cousins and their best friend and their eventual relationship with 3 of 4 brothers, hence the need for a book 3. I enjoyed reading this series but felt it was a bit long and drawn out. Personally I’m not a fan of stories with multiple leads, there are just too many characters to keep up with. Counting the Quinton’s sister, it was about 10-20 people in relationship throughout this series. TQ and Kymberlyn, Rhys and Summer, Lendsey and Matikah, Rhys and Indiyah, Summer and Hakim, Britain and Goldie, Summer and Romeo… and so on! Not to mention the girlfriends 2-3 of the brothers had when they started messing around with the two cousins and their friend.
Again, it was a bit much, but still entertaining and a good juicy read!

July 5, 2024SO GLAD ITS OVER.
ADVICE TO THE AUTHOR: PLEASE PICK A NEW SUBJECT MATTER! NOTHING IN ANY OF YOUR BOOK SERIES INVOLVING THE CHARACTERS IS THE DEFINITION OF 'LOVE'!
THE MALE CHARACTERS DON'T KNOW HOW TO STAY FAITH & LOYAL TO THEIR FEMALES/BABY MAMAS, BUT EXPECT THE FEMALES TO BE LOYAL, FAITHFUL, & FORGIVING TOWARDS THEM EVERY TIME THEY F--K UP THEIR RELATIONSHIPS BY CHEATING! IT'S BEYOND BORING & TIRESOME TO READ/LISTEN TO!
PLUS,WITH THE COUPLES YOU WRITE ABOUT, IT'S JUST COPY-PASTE-REPEAT WITH ONLY THE NAMES & TOWNS CHANGED, WHICH DOES NOT A STORY &/OR SERIES MAKE!
I GAVE TWO OF YOUR BOOK SERIES A CHANCE BY LISTENING & I'M JUST PISSED WITH MYSELF FOR WASTING MY PRECIOUS TIME.

Must read series 👏🏾 👌🏾 👍🏾
I've read several books by Shvonne now. I must say I've enjoyed every single one of them so far. The Quinton family is something else. There's a top for every pot, and I've enjoyed reading about them meeting their future spouses. I love the fact that each character separately and together stories are so smoothly integrated. Once again, I would say this is a must read it was just wonderful. As always, it was my absolute pleasure reading this series 🥰

Yaaassssssssss
That was a dope ass story, I’m almost sad it’s over. The Quintons are definitely some news, I was excited about this entire crew except for Rhys I really didn’t like the fact that he left his wife for a hooker I get it that everyone needs love but I just wasn’t for their whole story. So much so I really didn’t read anything of them until Summer met Romeo. Guess it’s a girl thing. Thank you for a great story.
Happy reading

Series overall: 3.75
These men matured so much throughout this series and I loved it!
I did not like Goldie at first but she grew on me.
I like that these boys weren’t like this authors other mmcs bc they didn’t cheat over and over and over.
I really did not Rhys and India’s relationship and how they tried to make Summer out to be the villain. He literally physically cheated on her, emotionally cheated on her, and then stayed in a hotel but expected her be OKAY with that. 🙄

Very nice wrap up for the group, still think they were too sloppy to be getting away with the things they were doing but it was okay in the end. Didn’t understand the whole Hope thing, just seemed too stupid, then for Chenaye to run up like that after all she’d seen was dumb as well. In the end this was an okay series to read along with.

Amazing love story
I read all 3 books and I love this story. It would be great to see the crew in the later year's maybe following the kid's as they grow and see what the gang is up to. I won't give it away just loved how all the bad people got exactly what was due. 5 🌟's I loved it and will recommend this story to others

Good read over all
I was a little skeptical because of so many characters that actually had their own chapter. Which was a little overwhelming to keep up who belong to who. But I stick with it. Over all a good read and I would recommend. Good times and bad times for sure but what family doesnt.

Bomb series
This was a very good series. I knew that Hakim was to good to be true. I don't know why he even thought that he was getting away with putting hands on Summer. I think I loved TQ and Kimberlyn the most. Matika's mom was a trip I knew she was going to try something else with Lendsey.

Page turner
Awesome read! I loved these characters. Sometimes the one you love isn't the one that makes you happy. I was glad that Rhys & Summer found happiness apart. I was happy that all the couples found love and love their kids better than the love they received from their father.

Great
I thought this was good and enjoyed it. I might be the only one but I was hoping Summer and Rhys worked it out and got back together. That was the only thing I would I “hated” lol. Overall good book and I’m glad everyone got there happily ever in the end. Can’t go wrong with any of Shvonne’s book

Okay
The storyline was ok. Overall I did feel like the book was rushing. Seems like time a new character was introduce they were being killed. Not enough twists and thrillers for me. I am glad for the twist with summer. She was hands down my favorite character in the series.

I am glad everyone got a happy ending. Still can’t believe Rhys chose a hoe for a wife. All the crazy people got what they deserved. It’s crazy how they just killed everybody with no repercussions.

Great book!
Such a good book, all three! I couldn’t stop reading. I love how every relationship went through something but overcame the drama and stress and ended up happy. Give people hope and see that love isn’t easy!

Finally
I don’t understand why people don’t understand when a relationship is over that it’s over. So happy to see that everyone ended up in happy relationships even if it’s not with the original mate.

Perfect Ending
I absolutely loved this series!! This was my first read by this author and everything I heard about her work was true. There's nothing like being in a relationship and feeling needed. I'm glad to see the growth and love the characters had for each other.

Thoroughly enjoyed
This series was so good! All the twists and turns! I need to re read this last book though because either I missed the demise of the father (spoiler) it the author skipped over that. All in all loved this book!
