To Take

Rate this book
“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you.” – Daisy Hampton

All of Daisy’s life she’s looked forward to her twenty second birthday. She looked forward to finding the betrothal box with the customary white ribbon on her doorstep. At twenty-five, Daisy is unsure of if she will ever find true love or not. Although her parents consistently assure her that her time will come, Daisy can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with her or if her husband is even in Crimson Trails.

Levi Graham left Crimson Trails to join the Navy when he was nineteen. Yes, he was aware of the betrothal tradition and the fact that there was a woman whose heart wouldn’t find rest until he returned, but for his own personal reasons Levi had to leave his old life behind. Eight years later, Levi returns to Crimson Trails, and he’s ready to pick up right where he left off. There’s just one problem – the woman that has been promised to him has promised herself to someone else.

When Daisy is presented with an opportunity to open a second floral shop in Memphis she sees that as an opportunity to also date and find the man of her dreams on her own terms. Will Levi be able to convince her to remain in Crimson Trails to allow their love to be nurtured and bloom like the flowers she’s so passionate about? Or will their love wither and die because of the time he spent away from home?

Please “To Crimson Trails Series” is an ongoing novella series spinoff from “To A Novella.” Each story will feature a completely different couple, and the couples do not connect in any way besides being in the same town. The series can be read in any order. There will be no cliffhangers.

Heartfelt ❤️

This was such a heartfelt story. It gives me hope that one day I can find true love. I really like that they have to write letters to each other instead of being together right away. I think the letters makes communication and getting to know each other ten times better. Would love to hear more about Jade. Can’t wait for the next story.

Heart warming

I love this book so much I love the old fashion way of letter writing of getting to know each other. This book warms my heart and make me want to find a love like this I'm a hopeless romantic so this book was eight up my alley. I think you should do a spin off of jade so if can see how everyone is connected plus I really wanna see if she finds love in Memphis or of she comes back home and finds love like Levi did.

Loving the Crimson Trails Series

I am loving this series. I love B's books but these stories are my favorite. It all boils down to the old fashioned romance that you don't see a lot of today. I loved Levi and Daisy, they were so sweet together. What's meant to be will be. You can run all you want to. That's why I'm interested in Jade's story.

Looking forward to the next book. As another reviewer mentioned, B is spoiling us this month.

Just In Awe

Anothet perfectly formulated love story. You are so right these stories are not for everyone but the hopeless romantic in me loves you for them! In this Book what stood out to me was the timing of fate. You can run from things but what's meant will always be.

Take 3 & All B. Love Gives

“To Take” book three (3) of the Crimson Trails series was another fantastic read‼️I absolutely adore Daisy & Levi!🥰 Foremost, they are two regular working class adults looking/desiring the fulfillment of companionship & unadulterated love for life. …an ordinary college educated working man/woman. No millionaire bravado: Perpetrating designer everything, imported wine, top shelf liquor, cuban cigars, cash, diamonds, furs & luxury trips etc. ... “lifestyle of the wanna be rich & barely infamous” Bravo! It’s annoying & unrealistic in the greater majority of books I’ve read, every character is either an Entrepreneur or Urban Pharmacist earning six or seven figures in their twenty’s, inter city, no degree …🤨REALLY ⁉️These Crimson Trails books, I’ll take all B. Love gives, and that include Jade’s Memphis journey🍿📚👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽💐🥰‼️

My heart

You know me away with every new book....facing past failures or things that were out of our control but we carry the guilt of TOTALLY related to this. You keep pushing me to take off and chip away at another layer of my "perfect armour" and make look at me. So AGAIN I day THANK YOU. You know you can't be playing because Jade NEEDS her own story...there seems to be some underlying hurt, pain and heartbreak that needs to be fixed. Can't wait for the next one.

Perfect ending

Levi was soooooo perfect for Daisy and their chemistry was off the charts. I'm so glad Daisy decided to wait because Levi was the perfect one for her and her parents knew exactly what they were doing. This book was so good I'm pretty much speechless. I think I would love to read the spin-off of Jade because she seen interesting. B.Love you did your thing as usual phenomenal read.

Another amazing story!

This couple isn’t my favorite, that goes to Leigha and Chris, but I still loved their story. I love how she helped heal his hurt even though his hurt caused her’s to begin with. I went and read the synopsis for the remaining novels hoping to see Jade as one of the characters and was ad that she wasn’t. Please do a spin-off for her. I can see the possibilities there and think it would be a great read.

Talk about waiting for the ONE

Daisy's parents nearly drove her to take matters into her own hands while she awaited (3 years at that) for her box. Just when she was making her decision, in walks the man she was waiting for, only she didn't know it. But she didn't have to wait long. She was so good for Levi, especially when she said her piece about his fear. I am totally in love with this series.

Love and Marriage

First, I want to thank B. Love for being brave enough to write this series. It’s truly for readers that love true pure love stories. I’ve been married coming on 30 yrs to my high school sweetheart. And reading these stories reminds me of how I felt meeting my Best Friend, husband and forever love. If you need to read stories that will cleanse your soul and take you back to when love was pure and leads to commitment, read the entire series.

Daisy and Levi

I know I'm going to get a good love story every time I read a book by B Love. Of course I was smiling once Daisy and Levi got their boxes from each other. I got misty eyed once their wedding began, and I almost cried my eyes out once they gave each other the single rose! Lawd! I can tell Jade has an interesting story to tell, let's hear it B!

Levi & Daisy

The wait Daisy had for her brothel box was very much worth it. Levi left town running away from life but knew he was missing out on something or rather someone. Even before he knew who Daisy was he was sold on her after one meeting. It was truly love at first site. I would love to find out what happens with Jade when she reconnects with her sisters in Memphis.

To Give

B. Love you have done it again. I’m so glad you decided to make Crimson Trails a series! Even though entitled To Take I️ feel the lesson is to give. This series definitely makes the reader either reevaluate their love life or yearn to fall in love. I️ can’t wait for the next installment.

Phenomenal!

This book was phenomenal! I loved how Daisy and Levi’s personalities meshed so well with one another. They were so in tune with each other. Daisy was such a hopeless romantic....just like me 😫😂. I’m ready for the next one already. So far, Crimson Trails is giving me life in each book. ❤️

B.Love does it again!

This book is another great read by B and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. The only criticism I have is these books are too short. The love between Daisy and Levi was so real I didn't want the story to end.! I am looking forward to hearing Jade's story too!

This book was EVERYTHING! I don't expect nothing less than the best from B. Love, and she always delivers. I love these characters as i did the first couple. B give me so much hope when reading her books. It just makes me want to wait on God more. Continue to let HIM use you honey!

Beautiful love story

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the idea of arranged marriages but it was something about Daisy and Levi's story that sucked me in. Their story was beautiful and I really want to see a story for Jade. Now, on to book 3 in the Crimson Trails series. If you are in love with love, this is series is for you.

Breathtaking

To Take (Crimson Trails Book 2) by B. love is a breathtaking and phenomenal read. This author did a good job.

To Take (Crimson Trails Book 2) is education and love connection. Daisy and Levi find their love connection by letter. I wish I could find a love connection with someone like them. I can’t wait to read part 3 of this book.

Good Read:

Real love

I always enjoy reading your stories and this was no exception. I am really loving the Crimson Trails series and fall more in love as I read the individual stories of the couples. For Daisy and Levi it showed that if love is meant to be then it with happen. As for her BFF Jade I would love to see how her journey goes as she starts anew in Memphis😁

Flowers

I really enjoyed this. I love the idea of daddy/daughter dates and this story surrounded by flowers is so beautiful. My dad used to give me a Valentine's gift every year. We should always let our daughters know how they should be treated.
Thanks for this story.
I know I'm late but yes to Jade

Love Crimson Trails!

Another soul searching book. This book was more emotional for me because of the struggles that Levi and Daisy had before they met. They were each other’s healing spots. I’m loving this series. I can’t wait for the next one.

Daisy and Levi

I'm enjoying the idea of being betrothed more and more with each book. Really enjoyed how Daisy told Levi to go home and open his betrothed box after he confessed how he felt for her. Can't wait for book 3
