Hassan Green is strong willed and focused on making sure his soul food restaurant is not just the best one Crimson Trails has to offer, but a tourist attraction that brings people in from all over the world. There’s just one restaurant giving him competition, and it belongs to Crimson Williams.Crimson Williams comes from the bloodline of one of the founders of Crimson Trails. Her and her sisters’ arranged marriages were the talk of the town before the sisters were even old enough to speak. As important of a tradition as her betrothal is, Crimson absolutely refuses to go along with it when she finds out that she’s been promised to Hassan Green.Professionally and personally, Hassan and Crimson want nothing to do with each other. They both have the power to run the other out of business. When the founders of the city find out that they are refusing to marry each other, the entire foundation of Crimson Trails is shaken. Will the two enemies be able to come to an agreement and open themselves up to unexpected love? Or will they allow their pride, stubbornness and competitive spirits to not only end their engagement but arranged marriages for Crimson Trails altogether?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 series can be read in any order. There will be no cliffhangers.

To Take (Crimson Trails 5)
To Take (Crimson Trails 5) by B.Love is a phenomenal and excellent read. To Take (Crimson Trails 5) is a educational and definition of friendship, communication, connection and commitment. I have learned lot from this book. It helps me how to communicate, connection and commitment to someone by letter. Beverly Love does a good job.
Hassen and Crimson made a great couple. They have to working on their commit, connect and communicate by the letter or email. I agree that they’re sharing lot of similarities. They are ambitious, independent and wealthy people.
I’ll definitely continue to support and read more from this author.

I need more Crimson Trails!!
Hassan and Crimson were definitely different from the other couples we’ve encountered in Crimson Trails. I loved their story and how untraditional it was. This book made me laugh and shed real life tears. This story shows that what God has for you, is for you, regardless of the road traveled to get it. This series was so needed. I fell more in love with B. Love’s writing after reading Crimson Trails.

Amazing
B. I hate you and but I love you too. This series was so moving and touching to my heart. You did your thing with this last book had me crying. I so glad I stumbled on your books. I get so tired of reading the drugs and thugs books you are like a breath of fresh air. I haven't read them in so long and I really don't miss them. Now I have to find more authors like you that have love and care messages in there books.

Omg
I just can't! This last book in the series was awesome. What a way to end. Hassan and Crimson were enemies...or so we thought. Their competition was just a cover for their undiscovered feelings. They were so much alike. Their competitive ways, their strong personalities, and their reluctance to give themselves to another person. What she did for him in the end definitely brought tears to my eyes.

I dont want this to end!!
amazing read. The unexpected love between Hassan & Crimson was amazingly wonderful. At first i didnt expect them to be paired correctly or even good for eachother but the more i read and seen the love they had. The unselfish love. I knew it was one for the books. Im sad to see the series come to and end but i cant wait to see what you have coming next!

This book was everything!!
Screaming "OMG, B!" This book was everything! I literally have chill bumps on my skin. I absolutely LOVED Hassan with his cocky behind. He was just everything! Just when I think you can't produce a more loveable man in your books, you prove me wrong, girl. I loved how untraditional this book was. I even liked how you brought the whole series around full circle with Crimson being the granddaughter of the founders of Crimson Trails and including the founders themselves. And most importantly, I truly loved the unexpected love between the Crimson and Hassan. Had me all mushy inside. I swear I wanna be like you when I grow up, LBVS. You have a reader for life in me, but as an author you inspire me to want to level up (real talk). That's what it's all about though. Inspiring each other as authors to want to do better, be better... write BETTER. Helping each other. I've never met you, B, but I've got mad love for you. We will meet at the Girl, Have You Read event. I mean we have to. You'll be in my city lol. Can't miss that. Until the next one... 😘😍

To Take: Crimson & Cream Power
Well Damn🥰🔥♥️🤍‼️I’m in full meltdown, ugly tears over “To Take” book six (6) & final installment of the Crimson series. …EXCELLENT read PHENOMENAL series and a WONDERFUL finale. I enjoyed every character, couple & concept‼️👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽🥰…no spoilers here‼️ However, everyone (the men 🤦🏾♀️) both violated and or circumvented the arrangement protocols to some degree (all of the five senses: no touching❌, no speaking ❌, no kissing ❌, no tasting❌, no seeing ❌…💭🤔Maarz, Christensen, Levi, Trisan, Cason & Hassan all great men but can’t (don’t want too) follow a rule with straight edge 🤣😂‼️Meanwhile, we all have flaws & most desire romantic love. Never judge a book by its cover! ..before you judge know the journey‼️Everyone has purpose & value! Thereafter, there’s power in Crimson & Cream🤷🏾♀️💐😎‼️

*sigh*
I’m sorry to see it end. This series was so different from all the others. It speaks to love, beauty and just being true to the heart. Trusting God and stepping out on faith. So many times I had to remind myself that the story for the most part is made up. Lol B Love’s writing skills is so well done through out each book. You can’t help but to be caught up in each relationship. Each book has so many lessons that are taught and learned. You can truly apply them to your own self and relationships. That’s what I love most about B Love. She isn’t just writing a story but she is teaching us how to become better woman all around. I’m going to miss this town but I look forward to any future follow ups. ;) haha

I Don't Want It to End
Well this is the end of the Road.....I don't want to go. This was a superb Series of Love. I think I'm heartbroken that Crimson Trail is a perfect figment of your brilliant imagination. If not I'd be packed and ready to go! I appreciate your work and dedication to not just shining a light on love but God's Love. I'm not sure that is your ultimate goal but this is what you do whether you know it or not. Crimson's unconditional love in this book was loud. Loving someone for who they are unequivocally is what stood out to me. Amazing...the G.O.A.T continues to shine.

My favorite one out of the entire series!!
I loved this story. Two rivals falling in love with each other and find so much inside one another to create a love that they both assumed could never exist. There are so many parts that stick out to me. The biggest one was Hassan telling her she was blessed to have him as her wife in his first letter. This was an amazing way to end a great series!! I hate to see it end honestly. I drug this one out in order to savor it!! B. Love strikes again!!

I absolutely love this series. Each couple touched issues that we can all relate to. Crimson and Hassan are a hot mess!! Spice, passion, respect, acceptance and understanding with lots of love added to the recipe gives you success. Thank you B. for sharing your gift and talents as they certainly have made room for you. Looking forward to an exciting 2018 and what you are sending out way.

Another wonderful series
What's not to like when your reading about nontraditional love? Hassan and Crimson competitive restauranteurs then they found out they were promised to one another. Hassan's family has a past and Crimson's family has the influence and things change for the better and do. This was truly a wonderful series and will be looking forward to the updates on the couples.

I ABSOLUTELY loved this series about Crimson Trails. I waited to be disappointed by at least one of the couples because nothing is perfect, right? WRONG! I thought maybe I could choose a couple as my favorite but I can’t.
The fifth tale gives us a beautiful look at Crimson and Hassan’s messy start as rivals and witness their growth. This town’s belief about the importance of marriage and compatibility is motivating, refreshing, and it really warms the heart as you read each of them.

You have done it again!
I think this may have been my favorite couple even though I loved all of them. For them to go from barely liking each other to having undeniable love for each really touched my heart. The unselfishness between these two brought tears to my eyes. Sad to see this series end.

Oh how I hated to see this series come to an end😔. This final couple. Hassan & Crimson had the perfect ending. They definitely belonged together. These have been wonderful novellas of how courtship, love and marriage occurs in Crimson Trails. Relaxing & enjoyable, I can honestly say I'm going to miss my weekly readings about the different couples. Fabulous job, B. Love!

Okay this was definitely was favorite couple of the series!loved them and there personalities. I loved how B Love created simple love stories within a couple of pages, how you felt the characters love come off the pages. I enjoyed all the Love story’s, they were similar yet different.

He brought tears to my eyes!!!!
The way he dropped to his knees in her embrace caused me to exhale, was invigorating. I was relieved when Crimson decided to take a chance with Hassan, also for that heart to heart she had with her grandfather. He love for Hassan allowed his heart to be complete...

Love is beautiful when it’s with right person. Love is patient & Love is kind. I love how hard they both pushed each other. When you love a person you’re supposed to bring the best out of them. That’s what Hassan & Crimson did for each other. Love people without conditions. ❤️

Crimson & Hassan
Competitors turned lovers. Hassan got under her skin to elevate her to be her best. It took her awhile to notice it but once she did all the nitpicking was over. Through their letters, they learned about one another on a deeper level and from that love grew. Awesome mini-series!

This was the best story of them all for me. She did not judge him on the actions his family made but on his character. I love the unconditional love she spoke and gave him, especially with the appearances of his father and brother at the wedding. Keep the mushy stuff coming.
