Good

Briann, don't be shaking up my holiday spirit like that. Got me ready to come find you. Doing my boy, Lano, like that. It was good to hear from everyone. Sen is still silly. Great read.

I was happy to see the old characters show their face and catch up with them. Lano was never a character I was intrigued to get to know but I’m ready for his story. Sen still crazy that’s why I love his character

The Crew

Man I love these characters for real. You can feel the love oozing off the pages. The bonds that have been built over the years of their relationships are crazy but intriguing. All the couples have been through something traumatic that would have caused some to fold but which has your back better than family. I love how all the kids are spoiled equally and no one is left out. I think that is what I love the most, the transition from the streets to family. Being there in each others time of need. I can't wait to read about Lano and Nik because he quiet but calculated and she holds it down no matter what. Their relationship definitely is interesting!!!

The Crew Back

Briann Danae once again came through with her senful pen game and held me hostage until the end! I love the characters close relationships and how the down for each other! The men are gutta in the streets but sweet behind closed doors with their love ones! Of course drama unfolds because niccas won't let them be great! Just when things are looking up the beast in them has to unfold! I can't wait for the next book to drop!

I almost fainted!!

Lawd if Lano isn't the sexiest!! I love that quiet but deadly strength of his. I can't wait for his story. Sen and Niecey are hilarious, Meechi and Erica are the sweetest. Juvie is still the same cocky, sexy dude and my Ra, Ra and Lano are two of my faves. Solai, Tesh and Anika's mall run had me cracking up. This has to be one of my favorite crews. They love each other, they're family for life.

I felt the Love 😍

While reading this I was so happy for Neicey and her better life. Not only for her relationship with Sen but the obstacles she overcame such as forgiving her mother and able to have the twins. Sensay grew throughout every book he was mentioned in, but he stayed the same damn Sen since day one!!!! I loved it I literally shed tears 😭😭 so happy for them both. Can’t wait to read about my cousin Lano & Anika 💗

Yesssss

Thank you BriAnn for bringing the crew back and just in time for the Christmas Holiday. I've been following this crew since day one and they are my favorite. Reading this book was like going to a family reunion with the kids now getting older, new babies on the way and everyone still as close as ever. Can't wait for Lano's story now that he's heading back to Cali with Anika.

Loved it

I was so thrilled and happy yo read this book. I missed reading about these characters. It was nice to read about Sensay and the positive changes that he made. Melchior is still the man, of course.

I can wait to read Delano's story. What is the real story behind him and his ex. How are things going to be with him and Nic?i

I highly recommend reading this book

BriAnn never misses! This short Chrismas novella is no different. It follows a group of friends (characters from her other books) but even though I haven’t read them just yet I still felt connected to them, and can’t wait til I get to their stories! This was a good one and ended on a cliffhanger and so I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series!

[Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Senful💞💞💞💞

I loved this entire book. It was such a romantic/Hood Christmas story. I hadn’t read about Sen yet but now I will definitely be reading his story along with the rest of the crew.

A good read

This was my first read by this author, but it won't be my last. I loved reading this book it was definitely a page turner. I can't wait to read Delano's story as well as the rest of the books by this author

[AsToldByTheNy]

DNF - I don’t know whyyyy but I couldn’t get with this book. Maybe it was too many characters.. maybe it didn’t have enough of a plot but — meh.

I should’ve DNF’d it a while ago but maybe later.
I doubt it but maybe.

[Dawn Budgie · Rating 5 out of 5]
