In the finale, everyone gets their version of happily ever after. Will Yolani decide that getting her life back is more important, or using drugs to cope with her past is?

What happened?!

Why make Demin the bad guy ?! His whole baby momma plot twist was just ridiculous and did not fit into the story. It just seemed the author randomly introduced that story line to break Demin and Hazel up . Hazel ultimately ending up with Yolani was just crazy. Honestly I would rather Hazel be single instead of getting back with Yolani . I hated the way the story turned out . I would check Kindle everyday to see if part three was released but this was trash and I was very disappointed. I would not recommend this and was relieved the series ended after part three . I would check out future releases from this author.

Wait…What Happened?

Ok so im not understanding why make Denim the bad guy? I am so hurt because he came back to get his girl just to still be sleeping with his baby mama and on top of that, got her pregnant🤦🏾‍♀️🤔? that whole scenario is utterly ridiculous and it doesn’t make sense, but ok. Anywho, I think Hazel should just stay by herself and raise her child and co-parent with Denim instead of getting back with Yani. I think Yani should focus more on her recovery and less on trying to build a family with Hazel. I mean if Yani wanted a kid, i don’t see why she couldn’t just go and get her real son and finish raising him. That’s the part that frosted my cookies to be honest. On another note, I’m glad that Yoshon and Golden ended up together and happy with their little family. Yoshon and Golden was the highlight of this 3 book series. Grand on the other hand, im glad that he finally got what he deserved in the long run. Grand was unpredictable and went around sleeping with any and everybody not knowing that he was sleeping with the enemies sister and a girl that had an incurable disease that she passed down to him.

Overal, I love this series. I could have dealt with just Yoshon and Golden because they took over the book. The story could have been based on them completely, but hey, the other characters stories was interesting too!!! i took off one star because of the situation with making Denim the bad guy at the end. Denim’s story should have been written to fit into the outcome of why him and Hazel didn’t have their wedding.

Disappointed

I was very disappointed in this 3rd and last book of this series. This book seems so much like it was rushed and possibly written by someone not familiar with the previous 2 books. Though I was very disappointed, I still would love to see this series play out on the big screen

Not my favorite. Felt like it got dragged out longer than it should have.

Denim - what was the purpose of him. He came back, “got his girl” only to treat her just as bad as Yolani did. Maybe even worse cause he got his baby mom pregnant and was lying to Hazel about the Cali house.

Hazel - she needs therapy. Girlll is bouncing back to back because she doesn’t want to be alone. I get she didn’t want to raise her child alone but going back to Yolani was not the answer. She’s barely sober.

Golden and Yoshon was refreshing! I’m so happy they got their happy ending together, they deserved that! The book could have been mostly them with side quest for the other characters and I wouldn’t have minded.

Good for them

I'm happy Golden and Yoshon got the ending they deserved although I felt like this story talked more about Hazel and her crazy decisions in life. I knew something was up with Denim but wow her mother??! I think Lani and Hazel still needed some time apart and possibly not get back together at all. Glad Alicia escaped before it was too late but I was a little taken back with her secret. I wanted to know more about Grape sister and why she made her crazy decisions.

Married to a Bronsville Bully 3 was an okay read. I thought that since this is the final book in the series, that some of the main characters would show some type of growth but nope. I felt as if there was too much unnecessary drama to make the story interesting when it wasn't needed. Golden threw more tantrums than her son. After getting married Hazel still didn't know what she wanted and both her and Lani worked on my nerves with their non-sense. I kind of wish the author would have left them separated and just let Lani's part of the story end with her recovery. Then there was Denim and his whole secret with the house, baby momma and Hazel momma knowing what was going on was crazy to me. It was just too much drama that I didn't feel like I could enjoy the end of the story. Parts felt rushed, skipped over too lightly as if it was nothing and every time, I tried to connect with couples it was like the author said sike, jokes on you. This wasn't a terrible series, but it is a one-time read for me. With that being said, Jahquel is still one of my favorite urban authors. I'm just realizing that her more currently released books are more my type of books.

This is a review of all three books in this series.

Was I entertained? Yes! We’re my nerves bad most of the time? Yes! Was it a good time? Also, yes!

Do I have some challenges? Yes!

I’ll start with a shout to Big Ben, the realest ever because had it not been for him we would’ve just let Yolani do whatever.

It took me a while to catch on to the fact that that lady named her sons “Denim” and “Jean”! 😳 What was a good sis going through?! 🤣😂

Okay, now…Denim was a character throughout all three books and when his skeletons fell out of the closet, we got a whole page and a half to see it, digest it and move on. Why was it so rushed? I still don’t know what all was going on or why for that matter. Seems like for the Denim and Hazel relationship to be such a big part of the series, a page and a half of revaluation and resolution was unfair to the reader. Not to mention the other impacts that the revaluation had on Hazel….we needed more.

I also don’t know that Alicia deserved as much page time as she got. Yes, there was the tie-in to Grand and the diabolical secret. But, with the way Grands story ended, was it even relevant to the storyline as a whole? My argument is, no, in the end, it really didn’t matter at all.

I’m also left to assume that with Yoshon taking on his new role, he got too busy for us readers because we got no details about that transition at all. It just is. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Ok…

Hazel…Hazel…Hazel…whew she made me tired! Girl, just sit down somewhere for a second and process. She was such an impulsive people pleaser. I’m still not sure that she found what she needed within. Seemed like much of the same at the end.

Yolani was a wild girl! Did we ever get an answer on how long she had been dabbling? Hazel made it seem like, now that she’s getting better she’s a different person but I wondered for how much of their relationship and “marriage” was she being a jackass? 🤷🏾‍♀️

But you only get one time to pull a gun on me, IDGAF how high you are. 🙅🏾‍♀️

Grape and Mo. IMO, another waste of good page space where we could’ve been finding out what Denim’s ass was up to!

Also…did it ever run past Yoshon’s mind that he could’ve been impacted by the news that Big Ben revealed about Grand? I mean…we knew the timeline but he wouldn’t have. 🤷🏾‍♀️ So what happened with that?

And Big Ben got to singing like a damn canary! Told Grape everything! 🤣😂

The epilogue also seemed rushed and like a dumping ground for information that could’ve been told throughout the story. No need to rush, I got time. Tell the sorry Miss Author.

I enjoyed the series but there were some burning questions that I was left with.

Okay, so let me start by saying I really enjoyed this book. The vibes, the emotion, the storytelling, all of that was on point. But I do not like how Denim turned out to be a cheater. The whole storyline of him spinning the block on Hazel just to get her pregnant and then cheat? That ain’t making sense to me.

I really wanted Hazel to get her real second chance of happiness either with him actually doing right, or honestly just choosing herself and staying single. As far as Yolani, I’m glad she’s actively working on her trauma and trying to heal, but a relationship should be the last thing she’s dealing with right now. Hazel getting back with Yolani felt like a step backwards. Especially after finding out that the marriage was fake after 4 years, it should’ve been a wrap after that. Also, I feel like Yolani not wanting a relationship with her own son but want to have a relationship with Hazel’s baby is crazy!! She could at been introduced as a family friend or even been open to wanting to build a relationship with him once he got older.

Other than that, though? I absolutely loved the story. It had me hooked from start to finish.

Jah can write can’t she?!?? I enjoyed reading about Yoshon and them. I just wanna say Hazel got on my damn nerves why would you up and marry that boy?!?? What pissed me cool off is how quick she became so unhappy like girl you making decisions off fear and it pissed me off quickly. But i do like how Hazel was referred to as Haze…cute as hell. I also enjoy the character’s name in these books. Golden that’s such as a cute name and I’m glad she got everything she deserved. They let Grand live to long he was such a whore and horrible person. I would love a follow up book to see how Yoshon is handling being head of the mafia if him and Golden had a baby. How much Gyan has grown and how he feels about his dad. If Golden ever reached out to Grand’s sister. If Yolani ever approaches her first born son. How Grape and Mo doing? How GiGi and Big Ben doing? I know it won’t happen but a girl can dream!

DNF at 57%

This book was hard for me. Books 1 and 2 were so good but this book was a miss for me I don’t know what happened to the characters I didn’t like it. The book was a mess and introduced characters unnecessarily.

Hazel had me so dang annoyed I was over that story line all together. She was a support character and somehow she took over most of this book.

Denim was amazing and then did a 180 after doing all that work to get her.

Yoshani and her entire story line was annoying even the aunt that she gave her son pissed me off like why are you all agreeing to the kids never knowing his family and to get mad and tell her brother that’s her son not his. Huh ma’am he was doing a bid and you knew it.

There was so much more wrong with this book. Just done waste your time. The brother Yoshon the boss but the sister kept Brownsville Bully. The title didn’t even fit the story.

I loved this series so much!! Yoshan and Golden are now added to my collection of favorite book couples!!

Their story started off really fast but I loved the way that Yoshan did all that he could to prove to Golden that she deserves to be loved the right way by a man. I was so upset with Yolani at first but she proved herself and I'm happy that she overcame that addiction. I was slightly rooting for Denim until he tried to explain his BM then I knew that he was smashing her still. Big Ben was lovable from jump but even more for how he helped Yolani fight her addiction. Grand was a b**** in all ways but he took the cake with how he was gonna have sex with Gigi knowing he was JOB positive!! Great series!!

Ummm… 2.5 stars

I really thought book three would be better—but it wasn’t, lol. I only kept reading to see how it all ended, and honestly, it didn’t feel worth it. This definitely didn’t need to be stretched into a three-part series.

The story was just boring, and the endings were rushed, all of these conclusions could have been wrapped up in book two. Instead of rushed in the epilogue. Why??? The cartel part was forgotten for the most part, Grape and Mo, what was the point of even mentioning their relationship? Alicia came and went lol and Denim huh??? I really don’t understand the point of that twist. Golden getting married was rushed as well. I’m honestly still confused about the overall point of the series.

Happy ending!!

What a read!!! It took me a while to read this series but so glad I did and I really really enjoyed every minute of it. The story line was like no other, it wasn't so much killing, cheating, or baby momma drama, even though I don't have a issue with that because I'm always here for drama but this was somewhat refreshing. Everyone all had their issues but it got worked out. I really thought it was no coming back for Hazel and Yolani but I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. I SWEAR I had a feeling that Denim was too good to be true and Hazel momma make me sick to my stomach with her and her shady ways. YOSHON was BAE ❤❤❤. Overall loved this read

Brownsville 3

Alicia gurl, you sure you just wanted a baby. I think Karma sent you, cause you told Jean no many times.

It tough when as an adult, you are seeking validation by a parent. Hazel, was this adult, trying to live her life but still found her decisions were influenced by her mother's lack of approval.

Yolani, had someone in her corner, who forced her to address the reasons behind her vice. Sometimes, this is the tough love that a person needs and it worked for her. However, she should be taking care of Cherry for the rest of her life.

Yoshon and Golden and their little family is just trugging along as steps into running all things connected to his family.

Good Looking Out

I must admit this author does not disappoint. She gives her characters depth. Her storylines are well developed, and the reader can identify with many of the scenarios. This is a book well worth reading. It was great seeing how she ended this series. Even Sneaky P**** Hazel got her happy ending. Good looking out, You did well with your introduction and incorporation of Ben into the story. Jahquel gives us enough to satisfy us, yet leaves the door open for a spin off. Y'all cop dis book cause I can go on and on about the book and the author.

Smh... Wow... OMG...

This series was everything man. So many things were going on at the same damn time. How the hell did Gigi even Grand ass n I'm so glad that Grspe found out about it. Good thing Alicia did bounce cuz Grand probably would have killef her when found out she was HIV positive. I hope that she continues to make better decisions now that she has a new start. Golden is so happy now n now married to Yoshan. She finally got her happily ever after. I really enjoyed reading this series. Great job! This was fire right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jahquel, this is such a great series. You always give us true situations that happen in families. Watching Yolani fight for herself was so good. Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom before we can take accountability for our actions.
I knew Denim wasn't all the way there. Sometimes when it seems too good it is too good.
Hazel finally found herself. Yoshon and Golden made love look easy. Yoshon
was so mature. Monica has finally found peace.
Big Ben gave me joy. Pit Pat was the best. I say this every time I read a series by you. I think this one is in the top 5. For me🤗🤗🤗🤗

Omg Alicia hid her diagnosis and now see the truth about Grand. Now, look at how she talked bad about his exes. Alicia is slow as hell. She is so easily manipulated.

Hazel does not need to be with anyone. She needs time for herself. She doesn’t not know who she is or what she wants.

I knew it. I was side eyeing Denim since book 2. He was something else.

Yolani needs help bad. Her trauma was so deep which was understandable. And I’m glad Big Ben came home. She needed him.

Golden is such a good mom and woman.

Lani

I’m so happy Lani redeemed herself! She had me worried there. I can actually admit that I ended up liking her by the end. Grand no words about this f boy! Hazel was getting on my nerves! She should have just been single for a while! I was like girrlll if you don’t get it together! Alicia was as wrong as 2 left feet! I was floored! I applaud Big Ben he could have said to hell with her. Shon is still that man. Spectacular job

This was a good ending to this series. Grand for what he deserved and I was happy when it happened. The tea spilled about Alicia three me on a loop but I’m happy she finally got herself together. Hazel and Yolani grew the most especially Lani. Im proud of her and happy she went through treatment. Big Ben was as thorough as they came and I liked him for Gigi. Golden and Yoshon got their happy ever after and I’m happy for them. Good job

Loved it

I read book one, two and now book three and I was not disappointed. Each book was better than the other. I tend to learn from Jahquel books and I learned that you have to continue to have faith especially when things are rough. I fell in love with Yoshon and admired Ben, Grape and a few others. Perfect examples of real men and how they appreciate women. Great book and don't miss out on the laughter and tears.

It was okay book

Okay I wanted to leave a review after I read all books and I must say I like 1 and 2 better. I thought part 3 was going to finish off part 2 and I was disappointed it didn’t, I got so confuse maybe I miss something but when did Yoshon have a baby and with who? I gave it 4 because even doe I was confuse in the beginning it was still a good book, wish Yoshon and Golden had more storyline.

Wow!

I really enjoyed reading this series. Loved the storyline and the characters. I could picture each one in my mind.Yoshon was book bae for real. So happy that Hazel and Yolanda got their happily ever after. I was scared for a minute. I always felt that Denim was hiding something. I also new that Ben and Gianna were going to get together and I was happy for Grape and Mo. On to my next Jahquel book.

Good Read

I'm so proud of Yolani, she got clean and stayed clean. She even tried to mend the broken relationships she had with the ones she loved. I'm glad her and Hazel got a second chance at happiness because when I read the end of book two I just knew Lani had lost all her marbles. I knew Denim was just to good to be true. Hazel's mama needs an azz whopping. This was a good read and I'm glad everyone got a chance at happiness who deserved it.💓💓

I loved this series!! And the happily ever after ending that Golden and Yoshon got. The end really shook me with Hazel and Denim. I really thought he was a good guy and the one for her but BOY was I wrong. I also liked the character development of Yolani. Cause I was NOT a fan and was 10 toes behind Hazel leaving her. I’m glad Big Ben took her addiction serious and got her some help. I also hate Grand. He’s the actual worst. Overall, 10/10 series!
