Hard Lovin' Straight Thuggin' 4: A Southside Love
In this crew, the love is undeniable but nobody is safe from betrayal and secrets.
The stronger the love grows between Gu and Qui's relationship, the more stories in the lives of their families unfold. With RaRa and Nessy both trying to run Qui off, they fail to realize that the hate only brought Gu and Qui closer. However, Gu can't seem to catch a break with one tragedy after the other and this last tragedy may be one that not even a heart as thorough as his can handle.
Qui realizes that if she and Gu are gonna make it...she's gonna have to truly be her man's backbone at one of his weakest moments in life, while still healing herself as well. Not only has she tied her soul with him by word, she's now crossed the line of intertwining intimate souls with Gu and vows that he'll always be her first, last, and only.
Bari finally feels a taste of freedom. Freedom from the lies and the secrets as she now realizes just how much she's damaged her family and how much she really loves the one true man she should've been loving from the beginning. There's a long road in front of her to repair the relationships with all of the people she damaged. With preparations in getting ready to become a teen mom, she'll find out the importance in separating what she felt from what's real.
Find out if they all can get the happy ending they so desperately need in this emotional finale of Hard Lovin' Straight Thuggin'.

Powerful
Yes she really came through with this powerful finale about loss and forgiveness. Had me an emotional mess. Crying all over myself. I'm not going to even lie I couldn't stand Bari in the first two books. But she done redeemed herself. I was so proud of the woman she grew into. I loved the sacrifice Gru did for her. He truly is that man! Your heartbreaks for him! Pete I don't know what to say about him other than there. Needs to be more men like him in the world! I was so happy for Bambi! I'm so going to miss these guys! Maybe she'll be nice and give us a college spinoff

When I say I absolutely loved this series!!!! By far my favorite!!! The way Gu and Wii came together was one for the books!!! Each character was so life like and real. Bari and Pete came long way!!!! It was nice to see Bambi fall in love and rise above her circumstances. Tuff got his just desserts. I'm glad Becka and Sue got their issues together. Ain't nothing like a praying Granna💜 . Hopefully we'll get to more about Beans later on. Oh yeah don't let me forget about Hennessey and her antics. Lol. I'm a loyal
Laine Gang Member!!! Definitely an author you don't want to miss!!!!!

Wonderful series!!!!
This is a series everyone needs to read the strength and courage of these characters is motivation to endure. Messiah and Granna were the backbone for the family OMG how prayer changes things. I cannot wait to see these characters evolve it's so much more to learn from Messiah, Turquoise, Bambi, Pete and all the other characters I hope their story does not end here.

My goodness and oh my
Gu was everything, that darn RaRa was a sorry excuse for a friend and woman, got exactly what she deserved but I was sorry that lil guy was killed. When I tell you that S. Yvonne books how a lesson in everyone because you always think an alpha man don't be affected by life and that's a lie. I loved the way she depicted Gu emotions after the death of his son 💔. Great read.

GU!
I am so sad that this series has come too an end but I will never forget Gu. GU was a good brother,friend, baby daddy and a great boyfriend. I am so glad that he has bounced back like he never left after . Now Pete and bacari need a book or a series by themselves. I am so glad the family got back on travel.

Real life situations and family struggles. A very relatable book that made me laugh and cry. I did not want this story to end. Great job!

S.yvonne really put her pen game to work in this finale! There's heartache, pain and disloyalty but without these trials and tribulations the characters couldn't have grown! Definitely worth reading, there's life lessons learned!

Now that's how you end a series. I'm going to miss GU and the gang. I'm happy everyone grew from their experiences. This was your best work yet. I can't wait for your next book.

The author ended the series off really well. I felt like everyone got their story heard from beginning to end. I kind of want a book of the future to see what they doing with themselves. This book had me all emotional and what not.

Yeaassss
This series was a real roller coaster. I enjoyed all the growth and the intimate detail shared about each character. This series was full of everything ranging from happiness to death, but in the end family love conquered all the trials.

Good series
I really enjoyed this series from beginning to end . This series gave you a little bit of everything. The only problem was the grammar issues you need a better editor. Sad that it ended but the ending was good. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Great read
The growth in this book was amazing. Everyone besides Sue recognized their faults and make amends but with a little push she came around too. So glad Bari didn’t give up on life but instead she pushed for a better one.

One of the best series I have read in a while. This urban story was a little more realistic than most. It was nice that the family could get together when it was all said and done.
