When Tristan suddenly broke up with Amalah a week before she graduated college, her entire world came crashing down. Even though she stayed in Crimson Trails, Amalah was sure her parents would never be able to find her husband for her.Five years later, she receives the coveted betrothal box with its customary white ribbon and cries when she looks inside. All Tristan has is ninety days to prove to Amalah that her heart is safe with him. He has ninety days to prove to Amalah that although he broke up with her years ago, there is nothing more that he wants than to be her husband. Will he be able to succeed? Or will her lack of faith and trust in him be too tall of a wall for him to climb over to get to her heart?Please “To Crimson Trails Series” is an ongoing novella series spinoff from “To A Novella.” Each story will be a completely different couple, and the couples do not connect in any way besides being in the same town.

The Best One

This was the BEST Crimson Trail story so far in my eyes...Forgiveness and staying true to LOVE...They showed a Gr8 example of how Unconditional love... I truly enjoyed reading their story and how it was the complete opposite of the first 3

Take 4: Redemption

“To Take” book four (4) of the Crimson Trails series was a good read. I didn’t enjoy the book as much as the prior three couples. Nonetheless, I consider the subtitle of this book “redemption”, for Alamah/Rob, Rob/Tristan & finally Amalah/Tristan respectively only after forgiveness is there room for growth. Thereafter, one of my favorite lines & prophetic words of wisdom “Keep the lesson but release the pain attached to it.”🥰‼️..I’m glad Alamah & Tristan found their way back to each other, even though they circumvented CT ceremonial traditions. 🤷🏾‍♀️👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽.

Now this book is different considering that they were already together before. But knowing the tradition in the town, I just knew they would end up back together someway somehow. I had a feeling that they wouldn’t have gone the traditional way of doing things. It’s funny how as soon as B. Love stated Why I Love You By Major started playing in the book, it also started playing on my playlist lol. It was refreshing to read a Crimson Trail couple that ended up together but didn’t follow the rules of the tradition.

I found love in you 😍

Love is a lot like learning to ride a bike. Sometimes one must fall and get hurt in order to learn to appreciate the feeling of being free and enjoying the ride. This story was a beautiful story of redemption and perseverance. Fear once held captive can overpower and overshadow love. Both Tristan and Amalah learned this lesson. Just as faith without work is dead so is love.

Refreshing

This book was refreshing. It showed the importance of forgiveness and not giving up on love. It says that sometimes it's ok to go backwards and fix what was broken! To keep God first. To be completely and totally open with your significant other. You have to let go of the past to find your future. You should always love and stay true to yourself! This series just keeps surpassing the bar! I can't wait for book 4! Phenomenal job!

Can I just say "wow?"

I loved the twist in this one. In my opinion, it gave me so much more to look forward to with this couple. Not that I don't love all the Crimson Trails couples, but they were different. To choose to be someone you have history with & who also broke your heart, very brave and risky. I for one, love the HEA ending but for a minute there I thought there wouldn't be one. Great Job, B! As always, you slay.

Another One

So the flow of this one was different grom the others. The intimacy was more powerful and the passion was deeper because of the couples history. It also made me think about his sister and what the Dynamics would be like if she was betrothed. What stood out most in this one was that True Love Never Dies.

True Love Never Dies!


Trisquit & Sunshine had that forever love. Even though they had been separated for years ,with the help of family,they still love each other. Keeping the Crimson Trails tradition they were given a second chance. An awesome Romance Novel with a twist. A must read!

I’m absolutely loving this series !!

I’m glad that Tristan told Amalah exactly what happened ten years ago, that caused him to leave her behind. And I️ can understand her father’s reasoning, although now we might not agree with how he handled their relationship. In the end I’m glad she forgave them both.. Can’t wait to read the next installment..

Amalah and Tristan

So many of us live in fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the what if’s, but it’s all false evidence. Every B. Love book touches my spirit. There’s always a lesson to be learned or a message to be heard. I was so happy that Amalah and Tristan let go of their fears and reopen their hearts to true love!

Tristan & Amalah

I'm loving the Crimson Trails series. It's making me want to move there to enjoy the love being created. Robert was only doing what he thought best as a parent. But he also saw the damage and made it his business to correct his wrong in the only way he knew how. I love how Tristan took over and did things his way.

B. Love is rocking this series

I'm not even done with the series and I am already sad knowing there are only two more. This one was a little different as the couple had a past relationship which ended but they were still promised to one another. You can always go home again, isn't that the old saying. I was glad they did.

Tristan & Amalah

B. Love had me with the first story in the To Take novella! Each story is unique in the series. Tristan & Amalah's love has an empty space of 9 silent years. There's a ton of hurt and anger that has had time to fester. Beautifully written and love conquers all once again!

Another heartfelt story ❤️❤️

This one had me all in my feelings just like the last two. Most people do not get a second chance and for Tristan to get one, he was very lucky. If your ever lucky to get a second chance make sure you take full advantage of it.

At last

Amalah and Tristan were destined for each other. High school sweethearts who knew they were going to be together forever, but life happens. Their story, their ending was perfect for them.

Amazing read

I can't with you B. you have me all in my feelings. I think Tristan and Amalah are my favorite thus far. I love the intimacy that they share without sex. And the letters keep me in tears. I can't wait for the next couple.

Great read

You did it again and I enjoyed every minute of it. Amalah and Tristan story was different but great at the same time. Never doubt the love that young people could have for each other cause it could possibly be the real thing. So excited for the next book. Great job!!!

Nicely written story of allowing love to take over & leave the past in the past. Triscuit & Molly had a history of love & heartbreak. Great dialogue between the characters & just an all around great addition to the series.

When it’s meant to be...it will be.

This story was beautiful. It was about pure, genuine love & redemption. Second chances can & do happen. Tristan & Amalah were bound to be together from the start. This is the type of love I dream about. ❤️

Let Go

The one thing that stood out the most in this read is forgiveness. Amalah was able to live once she forgave. Love drove out and conquered all of that fear, didn't it? I really enjoyed this book. Anxiously awaiting Book 4.

Amazing!

I love how there’s a lesson about fear and love in majority all of her books. It’s great that even with time in between them that the love was still there. So happy Tristan and Amalah got their happily ever after!!!

Good

Tristan and Amalah are high school sweethearts. I love how they were able to reconnect through the bethrothal box. To see that Amalah father was part of the reason for the break up when they were younger. I am glad they got back together.
