Yasssssss BRAVO BRAVO
Where do I begin, this book was amazing and I LOVED every second of it. B is a BEAST with the pen and it's NO doubting her talent. The LOVE that Isa and Kenzo shared felt so much like a fairytale that I wanted dibs on it. I so can't wait for book 2 because I just know it's going to get better and better. Hopefully Malin get his reality check and fast. Excellent and magnificent work I have no complaints. This should be rated a 10 star. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Right On Time
I understand that there is a time and a season for everything. This book is full of so much wisdom! It teaches you the concept of first loving yourself, then being prepared to accept being loved by someone else. It also teaches you to live in the moment and never take anything for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to you. I love the fact that B. Love always implement Self Love in her books. Nothing will ever come to fruition until you love yourself. Cease the moment. Never allow anything or anyone to stand in the way of your desires. Never lose you in the process of helping someone find them. Know your worth! Never settle for anyone who isn't considering you, your feelings, or what you stand for. Never let loneliness make you drop your crown. If it tilts, READJUST IT and keep it moving! This book is everything. It makes you see things in a positive light. It makes you want to be better when you see the outcome of others before you. This book "may be" fiction, but it speaks a hell of a lot of truth! Way to go B!!!

YES..... I loved to be loved by you..
Again, this author has made me fall in love with her. The more of her work I read the more I crave. This just happens to be her latest work and I KNOW far a fact it will NOT be the last. Even through the beginning of this book started with a familial tragedy I couldn't stop reading until the end. Isa and Kenzo WOW, talk about made for one another...although it didn't start out that way EVERYONE knew they should have been even Isa's husband. On his death bed (so to speak) he told his brother to take care of her (she is your sole responsibility). Given that second chance at love why wouldn't they not take advantage...DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES. And they did. I will admit little brother Malin definitely needed to grow up he totally got on my nerves but.....he quickly redeemed himself in part 2 of the book, all it took was the love of a young woman. I am hoping this isn't the last if the Mahailey family, I'm intrigued.

Omg!!! I'm in tears! I thought I was crazy bout Kenzi but Malin just snatched that!!! Even though he pissed me off blackmailing Isa n Zo I just couldn't help the way I loved how he grew into a MAN and not that arrogant hot head BOY!!! I love the way Londen demanded his love and refuse to settle for less then what she KNEW he could give her.. I'm not gonna lie when the switch was made I thought he was gonna say "F it"and grab her n ran out! I love that as long as the main ones knew what was going on with Isa n Kenzo they didn't care what no one else thought.. This title expresses the feelings of Londen n Malin they both wanted to be loved by each other!! B wonderful wonderful job!!!

Didn't want it to end!
Omg, first let me say that I loved Isa and Kenzo the most. That Kenzo was just every single thing a man should be, every single thing that Isa needed. I love how B was able to still make their union so beautiful despite the circumstances. Now, onto that crazy Malin, at first he had me up in arms, but the more he grew on me the more I was able to love him and understand his ways. I love, love, love that we got to see him find himself in Loden, through being with her. She was able to open him up and slowly break him down into the man she needed him to be for her. Goodness! I'm soooo going to miss the Mahailey's, but I loved the journey they took me on. Another classic!

Love that heals......
Phenomenal book! I love the way B. Love takes her books and draws such emotions from you. Malin and Londen were the best. They both had similar issues with love but expressed them in different ways. They both desired and wanted that special love but we're both scared of rejection. I am so glad to see the maturity in Malin and to see him and Kenzo mend their broken relationship. The Mahailey Family reminds me of how important family is and how powerful love can be. Love can break the hardest wall and family can mend the broken pieces. Great book! Absolutely loved it!

Oh My!!!
This was a awesome read. The words used and the actions of the characters displayed the feeling of true love. The heart wants what it wants and overtime the opportunity was given for Ken and Is a to get their chance to be together. What meant no man can destroy, love always find its way home. Malin grew into a grown man. I loved Malin and London connection because they were trying to fight the evitable but
Love wins all the time. Ms. B Love always bring the fiyah with her books. Everyone ended with love happiness, knowledge, family, kids and their legal businesses which they desired.

To be loved by The Mahailey Brothers❤️❤️❤️
Can I tell you that I just love those Mahailey brothers. Both Kenzo & Malin were BAE😍😍😍. When I first read the story I wasn't a fan of Malin at all but by the second half of the book I began to see his growth. I think London was perfect for him. Of course, Kenzo and Issa second chance at love was worth waiting 10 years for. They were made for each other. I'm so glad this was a standalone instead of a series. Great job! B. Love I look forward to reading the next book...I know you have something in the works😉

All in my feelings!!
That poem that Londen first gave to Malin....OMG!! That had me in my feelings. I loved every page of this book!! B.Love's books always getting me more and more into my feelings. The poem Londen wrote when she had an epiphany about herself and love. If that didn't speak like into me!! I want that framed somewhere in my apartment so that each day I see it and remember what it means to my life and the choices that I make. Another one to add to my physical book collection!!

Great
I appreciate the reminder throughout this book. To really be thankful for who, whom and what's in your life, realizing there is always room for change and growth. I love the storyline with a mafia flare. Awesome! The chemistry between Kenzo and Essa, Mallon and Londen. Riveting. I thought it was very sad and heart breaking in the beginning but patient and loving with great actual life changing lessons at the end. It was wonderful how everyone in the family decided to end their illegal jobs for legal jobs to pursue happiness. Loved It! Next! Renee G.

To be loved!!!
This book took me on emotional hi’s and lo’s in equal parts. To be faced with dealing with something you never wanted, but due to loyalty Isa handled it like a champ! Kenzo literally set my soul on fire with his adoration, love, dedication to someone that he never thought could be his.
There were times throughout this book when I wanted to choke Malin but remembered that baby syndrome was real! Watching life and love humble him was amazing!
I didn’t want this book to end!

Romance at it's finest
Kenzo and Isa, Malin and Londen what a complex, yet completely beautiful love story. Kenzo was a loyal man. Loyal to his family almost to a fault. His connection to Isa, from the beginning, was magnetic. Malin was a complicated man. He wanted it all no matter what or who he had to sacrifice. Love made them both better men, not just love but the love of the right woman, their better half. Awesome job B. Love, as usual

Amazing!
You continue to set the bar higher and higher! I'm so here for this new series. Andreas was a prick. Kenzo, my new hero. I look forward to seeing Isa and Kenzo's journey. Malin is s pain in the ass. His parents should have reined him in long ago. I can't wait until the next installment. Brava, B. Love, Brava!

She has done it again
This book was a quick read but it was everything!!! There were so many jewels of wisdom in this book. All I have to say is Malin summed it up for me by saying "don't settle for less than you deserve trying to feed yourself to a mam who doesn't want or appreciate you."

I was not expecting Milan to give in to his love for Londen but I glad he did, took long enough but better late then never. I loved Kenzo and Isa relationship even though it took so long to bloom glad it finally did and with the blessing of his brother Andreas. B. Love never disappoints, she so gifted at what she does and I love every minute of it.

As always your books are in a league of their own. This book actually had me questioning what ifs. So many times we hear it's just against to could to date or be with someone that your family or friend has been with. What if that person is your forever? This book for me explored that. Great job

I usually don't read romance, but I am glad I did. This was so entertaining and I loved the interactions and growth of everyone. It was just enough urban to hold my attention. Can't say I'll read another, but this one surpassed my expectations. Definitely recommended.

This book was a great completion of the Mahailey family. I love that Malin was able to find love and mature in the process. Kenzo and Isa were so good together and their love so strong. Once again you wrote this book with such skill and I can't wait til your next book drops.

I love me some Kenzo. That man there waited 9 years to be with the one he loved. I loved that they had a friendship first. Glad him and Isa got their happy ending. I am not a fan of Mahlil...don’t like how he blackmailed Isa and Kenzo just because Andreas didn’t choose his hot headed ass to run the business. Such a good book.

Yesssssss B!!!
Seems like I waited all my life to find out about Zo and E. Even though the wait wasn't long it was worth it and more than I expected. Another banger keep them coming!!

Malin, Malin, Malin...
This book was everything. I felt myself falling for Malin. He was hard yet soft. The love he exuded for Londen was evident, but he couldn't give up his throne as Boss. In the end it all worked out.

Another hit ! The way that this story flows is great, the storyline is well detailed and overall is good. With all of Ms. B. Love's books they will leave you wanting for more from her. So, thanks for the entertainment and God bless.

I really loved Isa and Kenzo's story. It was so very very good. I gave the book 4 instead of 5 stars because I really didn't like Malin. I tried but I couldn't get into his story at all. I understood what Ms. Love tried to do but it just didn't work for me.

Pretty good book. I enjoyed Kenzo and Isa's chemistry. They were cute together. Malin and Londen were interesting. They were driving me crazy. Enjoyed the story overall. There were a few editing issues.

I loved the fact that in the end, love won. We can try to fight it just like they did, but if the love is real it will always win. ❤️
