Rate this book
In the final installment, Ricky must deal with the mind blowing news his grandmother has just revealed to him. Feeling like he's all alone in being betrayed by people who were expected to be loyal to him, Ricky soon realizes that the person who can understand his situation completely has been right by his side all along. Draylah too has her own troubles to face, the main one dealing with someone she thought she'd lost but has been able to reunite with. However, there is a big block in her road to bliss, and Draylah is beyond ready to take it out. Will the couple be able to continue to keep that undying flame of love burning, despite their hefty issues? Or will things finally be too much for the troubled beauty and her heartless gangsta? Also back for the final round are the other couples who are no strangers to difficulties and betrayal. With one couple seeking the ultimate revenge on those they feel have wronged them, another coming to an unfortunate and unforeseeable end, and the last finally realizing just what they have in one another, these unions will surely be tested one last time.

Gangsta Luvin!!!

So glad that everyone got there happy ending. Ricky and Draylah were perfect from the start and glad they didn't have to deal with too much drama as far as him cheating. That's just proves that no matter what a man can be faithful no matter what the do for a living. MG and Kattlyn were also cute together and glad she was able to have a little girl and also glad that MG got custody of Micheal. I was proud of Virginia and Frisk even though they started of rocky but they got it together. Bia and Kito complimented each other very well and I was glad that Kito had a lil gangsta in him but also can survive in the cooperate world.Last but not least Qamar, he was the ULTIMATE example of the worst person to ever get involved with and I'm too glad Bia dodged that bullet. Great read Shvonne you did your thing.

Tears

I'm glad everyone got a happy ending I enjoyed this crew so much .
Ricky was a heartless gangsta to everyone except the people he loved even if he was told them the truth even if it hurt. Draylah was just as crazy as Ricky making them the perfect couple. But kattlyn turn out to be my favorite out draylah friends maybe because she was just as crazy draylah. I'm going to Miss these characters. Until shvonne latrice make us fall in love with another crew. As usual this author brought the heat with this series . Not to many authors can make you falli in love with a heartless gangsta.

I've been hearing about Ricky AK for a while now, so I was excited to get through this series and see what the hype was all about.

Starting off with Ricky and Draylah. Their relationship is the definition of it takes the right woman to change you for the better. With all the money, fame, and women that Ricky had, he met his match in Draylah, causing him to fall deeply in love with her. With her, he found a best friend and lover and knew he would never need another woman.

For Draylah, Ricky provided not only love but also the comfort and protection she never received from any of her other relationships. I love the family they built with each other, and I'm glad Draylah was able to get back that missing piece that was stolen from her when she was 16 years old.

I'm happy that Bia also got her happy ending as well. With the pressure she held with carrying her family, she continued to stay the course and better her circumstances. While doing so, she found true love and protection.

Qamar was such a horrible person and I wanted way worse for him when it came to his ending. The fact that he had absolutely no growth and used his mental health to try and manipulate people to get what he wanted annoyed the hell out of me. The way he moved throughout the entire series, I just knew he wouldn't make it. However, death would've been too easy for someone like him. You could only hope that a greater suffering is on the horizon for someone like him.

I was happy MG and Kattlyn found love in happiness in one another. With her rough beginnings and him dealing with a horrible woman in his last relationship. They both became what each other needed when it came to love and growth.

Virginia and Frisk getting their happy ending was great to see as well.

Outside of that, Draylah's aunt wasn't sh*t and got what she deserved; Wonder wasn't sh*t, and all the other ain't sh*t people (except for Qamar, unfortunately) got exactly what they deserved.

This was good, very good in fact!!!

First and foremost let me remove any negative thoughts that I had at the beginning trying to understand why did we need 4 books for this series but now, I completely understand and get it. MS. Latrice has a unique witting style and I mostly appreciate how she takes her time into dev lopping her people's and make you feel as if you are part of the crew and living life with them.
These guys went thru so much starting with AK and Drayla where they were being hit from every single angles, but this is what being an alpha, a king to your kingdom and having a queen by your side. Drayla got her fair share as well but with AK, shoot I a, tempted to get me some hurdles with the confirmation that I will have my AK, the same way she got.
Qamar and Bia, well truly had hope they did get together but this Qamar was different breed altogether and man I feel sorry for Genesis. And Bia well, I don't know. I thought she was the next one after Drayla but she got a Kito and well it was pretty much vanilla after...
MG and Kattlyn, wel, well, well... Didn't think they would have made it. MG is just too soft too naive but little did we know this was not the case. As they, you should watch out for the nice quiet peacemaker ones. And Kattlyn was just doing too much. You can't be like Drayla, all gangstamama because you do not have an AK. MG is beta and he is good at that.
Virginia is probably the only one I didn't quite like as we were just now being fully introduced and fully integrated in this group; and Frisk just came around as well.
Love how everyone got what they deserved specially for AK, from Isla, Greezy, Don and Butch, from wonder and Carla from north to bull and kawze...
You did a very good job MS. Latrice!!! Thank you

Ok, so...

I waited until the last book to write my review, although I know there's a christmas story as well I am compelled to tell yall how I feel about Rickey AK. I was recommended this book since I love the idea of a crazy, romantic man and Rickey AK did not disappoint me. From book one this man has been EVERYTHING. Mr. GANGSTAMANTIC himself... i loved everything about this series. I loved Draylah, I loved her relationship with Rickey and I loved her relationship with her friends. I loved the fact that she was a strong woman who overcame so many obstacles to make it where she was. She made her own money and was a BOSS. I loved that Kattlyn found MG and vice versa. Seemed to me they were perfect for one another and came into each other's lives at the perfect time. I loved Bia and the fact that she had stepped up to help care for her mother and sister. I also loved the fact that despite who Qamar was she never allowed that to overshadow who SHE was. She knew her worth and didnt except anything but GREATNESS and Kito is greatness. Qamar, at one point in time I was starting to feel bad for him until I just realized he deserved all the bad things that happened to him, honestly he wouldnt have gotten a some what happy ending from me, he would have died of a drug overdose or something like that. He is not a man, he is crazy and his girlfriend Genesis is triflin for even being okay with him being a deadbeat. Anywho, this entire series was amazing. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Thank God !!!!

Okay this was a long a** series. With so much going on but then again nothing at all. It’s so many different characters and POVs. And I’ll be honest I don’t think this needed to be stretched out into 5 different books with POVs from almost every character.

Dray & Ricky- decent couple they definitely grew as ppl as the series went on. They had some sheisty ppl in their lives but they ALWAYS had each other’s back and I loved that.

Bia & Kito- I’ll be honest I’m indifferent to this couple and it’s mainly because I skimmed through a lot of their scenes. But I am happy Bia got her happily ever after.

Kat & MG- *meh* But I will say after how MG’s ex did him I’m glad he found his person even if she comes from a seedy background.

Virginia & Frisk- Another couple whose scenes I skimmed through.

Qamar- Trash

Also sorry Dray but North was a pedo that preyed on you. You were 15 years old there is nothing y’all could had in common. It was alarming how at the beginning of book one it was emphasized how Dray ride her bicycle to North’s house. He’s a creep. Ricky’s dad is trash. Isla trash, and Tabitha was a weak woman it was kind of sad to see.

Anyway I’ll give this series overall a 3 stars out of 5. There were so many grammatical errors and as stated before this series was long for no reason. Honestly not much happened and the things that did happen. Got wrapped up rather quickly and nicely. Like Ricky going to jail and finding out the things he found about his mom. Very anticlimactic.

One thing Shvonne gonna do is write an unhinged MMC & FMC! I enjoyed this series so damn much. It bad made laugh and had me punching that air at the drama unfolding.


Ricky AK/Draylah: Ricky Ricky Ricky Ricky, my new book boyfriend!!!!! One thing about him he DID NOT PLAY when it came to Draylah and his kids! Fuck with him if you want to and he’ll show you why you shouldn’t. and DID!!! He definitely too my heart with the step daddy role 🥹🥹🥹. Draylah you desires work and more! Happy for you, Ricky, and Lily AK. IFYKY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Bia: If anybody needed happiness and all love in the world was Bia! She had such a hard life dealing with everything in her personal life. But my girl life did a whole 360! She finally got a good man, career was popping and loved that way she deserved! Yeah Bia & Kito 🩷

Micah/Kattlyn: These damn too 🤣🤣🤣 but fr I’m happy everything worked out for Micah regarding his situation with his son. Kattlyn is his match with her little crazy, thieving Cuban ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. She didn’t play about Micah though! Perioddddd

Virginia/Frisk: Cute lil couple. Glad you find your way back to each other after all the drama.

Qamar: I’ve never hated a damn fictional characters as much as you. Honestly you had need to die… I contemplated skipping your chapters in the book fr! Bitch ass nigga I honestly though you would change and turn your life around for the better but I guess not 😒

Must Read

This was a great ending to this series! Ricky found out some things that he wasn’t going to let slide. The love he had for Dray was crazy. That man would go to war for his woman. Those two were most definitely meant for each other. Qamar worked my nerves and I truly couldn’t stand him. That man did so many foul things in this book without a care in this world. I was so glad that Bia moved on with her life and found someone that loved her whole hearted. Kito was a good dude. Wonder was another one that made me sick. Him and that wife of his played so many games. Carla was wrong for how she went about the situation. She knew what her husband was doing yet chose to stay. So she can’t fault anyone else. He on the other hand needed to leave things alone. Virginia was doing good and also met someone that would love her and only her. Jason had his moments but one thing I can say was that he was always honest. These couples all had there chance at a happy ending. Qamar seemed to have gotten a happy ending as well even though he truly didn’t deserve one.

Wow....

This book had so many things going on at the same time n it had me on an emotional roller-coaster. I really enjoyed this series so much. Ricky is a hot ass mess who had me laughing at him throughout this entire series. Him n Draylah really belong together frfr. She is just as crazy as he is. I was so glad that she ended up getting Lilly back. I'm so glad that Qamar finally got the picture n left Bia alone. I'm glad she got a happy ending too cuz she really deserves it. Kattlyn n MG finally got it together. They finally got Michael back for good. Virginia n Frisk is a good couple also n they finally settled down. This book had me captivated n I couldn't stop reading! Great job mama! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Qamar continues his unbelievable horrible traits and he was one trifling POS. What he did to his mom was just beyond belief. He is one POS nicca. If he takes a dirt bath I will have no remorse.

Ricky AK and Draylah continue to do the do. Ricky AK takes his fatherhood seriously and Lily AK has a great relationship with them. Her pseudo mom was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. AK handled all the people that was coming for him.

Commended the ladies for bettering themselves with their education. Kudos to them.

Still not a fan of the secondary characters. For some reason not feeling Kito, I’m not sure why. I was not connecting with him maybe because he did not have a POV.

Villains all got what they deserved.

Going to miss these guys so sad!

Mannnn I'm so said! It's actually over!! No more Ricky AK!!! I'm so hurt right now! But this book was all that I wanted and needed. I so tried to keep hope alive for Qamar that he would man up and get his ish together. What a disappointment he turned out to be. A real F Boy smh! I couldn't believe the things he did! Ricky needed to lay them paws on him again! Virginia, Draylah, Bia, & Kattlyn weren't here to play around. They were not here for the ish with their crazy behinds! This book was so Litt! She did that It had me laughing from beginning to end! I'm truly going to miss these guys! Spectacular 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

, A HEARTLESS GANGSTA YOU JUST HAVE TO LOCE

Sublime Latrice, who is the master of creating book Baes, has gone and done it again. Having created Ricky AK, she went a step further and created Draylah, the ONLY woman who could live him like he loves her.

The dilemmas that Ricky and Draylah face plus the relationships of their closest friends and crew make for a story you just won't want to end. In addition you will learn a little something about mental illness, something that you wouldn't expect to find in an urban fiction story.

So yourself a favor and one-click this end of a four part series you'll not soon forget.

good read if…

I enjoyed this book. I would’ve enjoyed it more however If I hadn’t read King and Queen of the streets. This felt like I was reading about the same characters and storyline just with different occupations and names … almost to the T… I want to read another series from the author but when I read other reviews for her other titles it seems they’re saying the same thing I am… now I’m wondering if I’m just going to continuously read the same story over and over.. I’ll give it one more go cause the books are good with the slight alterations but ultimately they’re the same.

😍😍

Whew. This series was definitely a full blown category five tornado of events. I loved it so much. I loved every couple and their stories progressions. Everybody except Qatar. I know he is a fictional character..... I know! but maaaaaannnn he had me so mad. Just ugh. Queen and King AK were the best crazy, possessive, "gangstamantic" couple ever with MG and Kattyln coming in a close second. 🤍 And all of the babies are so adorable. I love that she/they got Lily back from that delusional witch. I can go on and on about how much I loved this collection, but this was definitely as must read. Do not sleep on Ricky AK and definitely not on his Queen ✨

Another great ending to a great series and what a way to end it. Awesome read that was very well written and held me captive from beginning to end and then some. The storyline and plot was so entertaining and moved a such a steady pace and keep me interested. Characters were well developed and loved their growth; especially Kattlyn. Loved that all the characters got their happy ever and how it all ended, but Qamar a lost cause. Highly recommend this series as well as all Shvonne Latrice's work, you won't be disappointed.

All Four Books 💕💕💕

I waited to read all 4 books before I wrote my review.

This series just kept getting better and better! I loved Ricky AK and Draylah together, they were just what each other needed. All of the couples were great together. Kito was definitely bae!

One thing I will say is that not everyone deserves a happy ending and Qamar was one of them! I know it sounds bad but I kept waiting on him to overdose or get shot because he was truly trash.

This was my 3rd series from Shvonne Latrice and it was definitely my favorite!

Gangsta lovers of the heart

I loved this story because although Ricky AK was this heartless gangsta rapper, Drala came and stole his heart and gave him a family. Ricky didn’t change who he was but he changed who he was for Drala and he made sure everyone knew that she was respected and he had her back 💯. Loved how Bria found love in Tito, she deserved it and so sad how Quamar never really got it together but maybe you can do a book on him actually changing. Happy for my girl Katlyn and Miciah they deserve this . Great book

yeah❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Whole series was a banger. Draylah and Ricky omg 😭😭😭😭😭, let’s just say I can’t see a stapler without crying 😂😂😂😂, they are some fools. I know Qamar is most hated and rightfully so, he’s a selfish egotistical a$shole and I’ll leave it at that. Bia getting all of what she deserved was fulfilling also. I didn’t care too much for the other couples but their characters were needed I guess. So in a nutshell, those west coast Cali 🥷 are unhinged!😂 I’m still stuck on Krucial🤗iykyk this was a good series and 5 🌟 reads for each one.

She got it bad for a heartless gangsta

I knew something wasn't right with Antonia. Im glad Draylah got her baby back. Qamar was the most selfish person. He didn't deserve happiness. Genesis was crazy to be with him. Kito and Bia were too cute. And Frisk and Virginia were perfect together. Glad she got rid of Wonder and Carla. Kattlyn and MG's did a complete 360. Isla got exactly what she deserved. I loved Lily AK💟💟

Loved it

I loved this whole series of books. It was captivating from page one. I love love love the ending. Ricky is my absolute favorite. His thuggish, fearless, sexy, but loving personality is everything. Draylah is his perfect match. I loved following the journey of all of the characters.

I highly recommend reading this book.

Great job Shvonne. You will continue to be one of my favorite authors.

👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏

This was by far one of the Best series I've ever read. It was never a dull moment. Each page was filled with nothing but FIRE. It is going to be hard to say goodbye to the characters I've grown to love especially RICKY AK but I'm hoping a spin off on the kids or an update is in the making of near future. Whatever comes about I'll be on the lookout and will definitely be reading.

Perfection!

This was the perfect ending to this series. Qamar was a true dirt bag!! I can’t believe he remained stagnant throughout the series. Ricky was a trip and Draylah was his perfect match! I’m happy for Bia and MG. They deserved love and I’m happy Katt and Kito was able to provide that for them. I hate to see this series end, but I’m happy she didn’t stretch it out. This was definitely a 5 star read.
