About the author

Blake Karrington

107 books376 followers
Blake Karrington is more than an author. He’s a storyteller who places his readers in action-filled moments. It’s in these creative spaces that readers are allowed to get to know his complex characters as if they’re really alive.

Most of Blake’s titles are in the South in urban settings that are often overlooked by the mainstream. But through Blake’s eyes, readers quickly learn that places like Charlotte, NC can be as gritty as they come. It’s in these streets of this oft overlooked world where Blake portrays murderers and thieves alike as believable characters. Without judgement, he weaves humanizing backstories that serve up compelling reasons for why a drug dealer might choose a life of crime.

Readers of speak of the roller coaster ride of emotions that ensues from feeling anger at empathetic characters who always seem to do the wrong thing at the right to keep the story moving forward.

In terms of setting,Blake’s stories introduce his readers to spaces they may or may not be used to - streetscapes with unkept, cracked sidewalks where poverty prevails, times are depressed and people are broke and desperate. In Blake storytelling space, morality is so curved that rooting for bad guys to get away with murder can sometimes seem like the right thing for the reader to do - even when it’s not.

Readers who connect with Blake find him to be relatable. Likening him to a bad-boy gone good, they see a storyteller who writes as if he’s lived in world’s he generously shares, readily conveying his message that humanity is everywhere, especially in the unlikely, mean streets of cities like Charlotte.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Best Seller🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Latoya Nicole...Tease
Lance/Dickmatized, Ayana, and Sheena had me at a loss for words. I was like what Ayana got going on that she don't know her man of three years is a well known stripper and how she not know her friend was after her man. And then to find out she was a real freak wanting all three of them to live under the same roof for one big orgy. I hope it's going to be a to be continued in BGC3.
Nance...Give Me Dirty Love
Why did I think that everyone was going to get their HEA?? I was waaaaaaaay off. Sharif and Keyairah saw each other but was unable to converse. They ended up actually meeting through their siblings Shakur and Airiana who were kicking it. Sharif had a whole wide named Lex that he was hiding from Keyairah that ended up being both of their downfalls unfortunately. I hope this story continues in BGC3 to answer if Keyairah survives, if Shakur knows who shot him or does he think it was his dad for beating him down, what happened with Marco and Lani since he's now with Lex, and what's going to happen next??
Johnni Sherri...Meeting Noble Shaw
My, my, my, what a tangled web has Noble weaved between Imani and Brittani. I hope Imani let her past hurts and mistrusts come in between her and Noble and that she don't jump ship and run like she has been known to do. I don't see why Kells didn't notice that it was his girl Monica stealing money from the club. I think Sarah and Monica in on it together. Rashad seems loyal and I hope he don't turn out to be on no disloyalty mess.
Blake Karrington...Beard Gang
Doulah, Mia, and Miss Danni seems to be characters in Legacy's book that getting ready to drop. Who does what Dwayne and Alex are trying to do to Legacy these days. I hope Xavier/Southern Boy can Legacy to call off her wedding to Dwayne because obviously she's still deeply in love with Xavier. I think that Dwayne has fallen in love with Legacy for real and is really hurt that Legacy slept with Xavier. I hope Dwayne and Alex's plan to swindle Legacy doesn't work. I can't wait to see what happens next in BGC3.

Beard Gang 2...ARC

Wow...I can say collectively that these group of authors have done it again. Each story was unique and definitely had me on the edge of my seat wanting more! Of course there are always the characters you hate and the favorites.
Latoya Nicole definitely bought a hot, steamy short story with a very surprising twist. I was definitely giving Sheena the side eye & hoping Lance stayed strong. That twist at the end though had me smh at Ayana...and left my mouth open. Nance had me a little emotional. I was actually rooting for Key and Surf but when you build something off of deceit its bound to crumble. Just wish the ending would have been different. Wifey needs to be dealt with! True to form, Johnni Sherri knows how to leave you loving her imagination but low key fussing her out at the same time. Noble is one of my top favorites and I am rooting for him all the way. Hoping this obstacle with Brittani gets dealt with accordingly and Imani bosses (& grows) up along with her man. And then there was Blake...Doulah is definitely another lovable character for being a savior. Hoping that cliff hanger is just a bunch of smoke. Hopefully Xavier will complete his task and Alex and Dwayne get exactly what they deserve. Rooting for Xavier and Legacy to come out on top. Especially after all the conniving, scandalous stuff going on around her.
The beards in this anthology will definitely have you looking and wondering some of the bearded men you see daily trying to see if they have the potential of Noble or Doulah. The characters seem so real and are truly bosses in their own right. Be sure to read part one to get the full effect but im ready for the ending to these cliff hangers!!

NOT SO MUCH FUN FOR SOME OF THEM!!!

THE TEASE
First time reading this author. I was okay with the way homeboy was making that extra cash. Wasn't okay with the thirsty friend of his woman. Then come to find out his woman was the reason she was acting that thirsty. Well if they liked it then who am I to judge.
GIVE ME dirty LOVE
My first time reading this author too. Not a fan of any type of cheating so I wasn't feeling Surf, his brother or Keyairah's sister. Especially the sister who was already NOT into being in committed relationships. How she gonna get mad at ole boy for doing your best friend? But you make matters worse by sleeping with their Pops? And Surf's wife, man she got some nerve too, sleeping with their cousin, committed murder and probably had something to do with the brother getting shot up. Yeah this was too messy for me.
MEETING NOBLE SHAW 2
AGAIN, how could you do this too us? Okay so I am back to liking Noble again. And it seems he really likes Imani, who I think still has some growing up to do. Talk about an Alpha, he told Imani she was a bad girl and proceeded to show her how he handles bad girls! That scene was HOT. Now we are left to wonder how it all will end. PLEASE don't keep us waiting long.
BEARD GANG 2
Wait, what just happened? Who are the survivor's? I know you ain't gone let MY Doulah go out like that?? Nevertheless, I AM looking forward to more on Xavier and Legacy! Even more, when they find out about the so called groom and best friend's grand scheme. I wanna see just how crazy Legz gone get.

The Tease by Latoya Nicole 4🌟- high drama and very unpredictable; didn't see that end coming!

Give Me Dirty Love by Nance 2🌟- Some drama but just couldn't get into this. Also the sex was lame. She didn't even write details about the lead characters being intimate until the very last scene. She skipped over them and went to the next scenes. If this synopsis of the book talks about steamy, this surely wasn't it. Lort.

Meeting Noble Shaw by Johnni Sherri 4🌟- This story is a continuation from Beard Gang 1 and it does not disappoint! There's drama and the characters have great chemistry. Story detailed, but seems like an error when Noble saw the video...then was acting like he didn't know who did him dirty, BUT he just revealed he did in part 1, so for that I gave it 4.

Beard Gang by Blake Karrington 2🌟- was very boring and I felt I had to force my way through reading it. Plot felt underdeveloped.

Overall for this anthology gives an average of 3 stars.

Excellent

Another great collaboration of stories by these amazing authors. Latoya, you did your thing with Mr. Dickmatiza. It was very steamy and erotic, almost forgot I was at work reading. Lol. Nance, great story of Dirty Love with Surf and Key, I liked them together but I just wish he was upfront with her about his situation. Johnni, cant wait for part 3 for the outcome of Mr Noble Shaw and Imani relationship now that Brittani has dropped a bombshell. And Blake, Doulah was the ultimate knight and shining armour for Mia. I was hoping he didn't meet his demise. And will Xavier get to Legacy in time before she makes a huge mistake with Dwayne. The bearded men in both anthologies definitely draw you in like a magnet craving more and anticipating what they will do next. Looking forward to what's in store for part 3.

Four completely different stories but ultimately one goal and boy was it reached.Lance,oh my he definitely lived up to his name.I don't get why Sheena and Ayana chose to play all those lil games instead of being straight up with him but hey,it worked in their favor in the end.I wish Surf had been honest with Key and I hate things went down the way they did because I believe they would have worked out.Just when everything was going right for Noble and Imani here comes Miss"Weekly Appointment" with her mess 😡 I really wish Doulah would have gotten rid of that crazy old bat from the beginning 😪 Alex is dirrty and I hope Southern Boy bust up that fake wedding and get his woman.Don't wanna give away too much but this is a definite must read!

This 2nd installment was terrible. The only story worth reading was the continuation of Meeting Noble Shaw, which end as ANOTHER to be continued. Which means I have to check out the 3rd installment of this awful series. I wish I could get the few hours I wasted reading the other 3 stories back. The execution of the storylines were unrealistic and at times confusing. The stories are not written well. This book was just all bad. I gave it 1 star only because of Meeting Noble Shaw; otherwise, I would have given it 0 stars.

OMG!!!! Hot hot HOT!!!! (ARC)

I thought I was prepared for this but I wasn't. These authors have written some of the most erotic stories I've read in a long long time. You don't have to read Volume 1 to enjoy this book so feel free to dive in even if you haven't read the first book. You will definitely have you an opinion about these characters. Start reading.....you won't disappointed!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ARC

If you read the first book then Beard Gang Chronicles 2 is a must read. If you haven't read the first one then go read and then come read this one. You got LaToya Nicole & Nance bringing you 2 hot and steamy stories. Then you have Blake Karrington & Johnni Sherri bring you part 2 to their hot stories. So come on and catch up before part 3 comes out.

I'm loving these stories. I was hoping the "to be continues" from the first book would be here and thankfully Meeting Noble Shaw and Beard Gang part 2's were here. I'm looking forward to reading Beard Gang Chronicles 3 because I have to read the end of these stories since they are "to be continued" again. It's worth it since the stories are so good.

Book 1 was alright, but this right here was some BS

Lazy writing at best. Even though I read the first book, there still should have been some type of brief back story for the continuation or part 2 of the story. Only read (with plenty of skimming) through two of the stories. Didn't bother with the others.

Loving a Bearded Man!

I really skipped a lot of the stories in this novel just too much for me! I really hope that the unanswered questions are addressed in the next book in this series! Overall very erotic, not one of my favorite genres but I must find out what happens with Imani and Noble as well as Mia and Doulah!

Chronicles

When I say these authors put it down with these short stories. That ending to Surf and Key took me by surprise. I was not expecting Surf wife and cousin to be soooo shady. Noble and Shaw can't catch a brake at all. Overall these are some really good short stories and I can't wait to see what's next

So much talent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I read the first book in the series enjoyed it immensely. I started reading this book and put it down, until my sister told me it was worth me trying again. She was right I enjoyed this book also. I'm always in awe of the talent it takes to really write a great book. To have so many authors right in this books is amazing.

This is definitely a must read, these authors always bring their A game. I really enjoyed volume 1 but volume 2 is on different level. I can’t wait to see what they bring in volume 3. ARC

Hot and steamy

If you like things hot and steamy, then this is the book for you. It all started with part 1 and got even better in this one. These authors brought their A-game with this one. It's filled with continuations and also something new. A must read.

There were some good stories, but Noble Shaw wins the prize. I can wait to read the finale to see how things play out with the different situations.
Thank goodness for the warning because these stories were good and raunchy.

Another Awesome Read!

These bearded men are taking over again! These authors have come into my life and spiced it up big time. Okay, since some of the stories ended the way that they did, I can’t wait for part three.
