Issa Hood Love Story: Bailey & Bash
After years of hustling, Sebastian Larson is finally giving up the hood life and looking for a wife. He had a rule not to marry or fall in love while he was in the game but, now that that was all behind him, he was ready and looking for a life partner and, from the very first moment that he laid eyes on Bailey Burnett, he knew instantly that she was the one. Bailey, young, smart and beautiful, belongs to Andre and she is no longer happy being his live-in girlfriend. The fact that he lies and is never home is evident that he’s entertaining another woman, but Bailey is in no position to leave him. She gave up her career to play house wifey to a man that still hadn’t proposed in over eight years. Fed up and tired of being misused, she meets her new neighbor Bash and is instantly attracted to him, and it doesn’t take long for her to desire him. An absent Andre gives Bailey an open invitation to get to know Bash and it doesn’t take the two long to discover the chemistry that they share. No matter how much the two of them try to keep their feelings at bay, they can’t resist falling in love with each other. The heart wants what the heart wants and Bash decides to give his heart to Bailey and, in the end, they both decide to be together by any means necessary.

I was glad when Bailey finally came to her senses. Bash was The Man- such a kind soul, & knew how to handle business. Quick, easy to read storyline made this a good continuation to the Hood Love Story series. Good read

LOVED IT
Enjoyed this novella and it was a page-turner. So hated it wasn't a full novel, cause I couldn't put it down and wanted so much more. Well written and moved at a fast pace. Sparks between Bailey and Bash ignited at first glance and flamed into a beautiful romance. He was exactly what Bailey needed, he came into her life at the right time. He helped her find herself and true love. Dre got exactly what he deserved. I really loved reading about Bailey and Bash hated to read the end. Amazing job Anna Black. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book it was a great read. I loved how when Dre was the dog that he was trying to put hands on another woman because you were the sneaky one not knowing what you just seen and did the ultimate no no. Then you got your heart broken when you got your heart broken. Enough of that clown now to Bailey and Bash lord that mad loved that woman like she deserved to be loved. Bash is what Bailey needed and he gave her what she deserved that was the best part of the book. That love was something special all woman want that love. This book wS awesome.

Omg I loved it..thank you for gifting this p. I see it’s a whole series and I’m definitely Getting them all. Now Andre I cannot even describe the level of dumbness with him, you have what you need at home yet you still out doing her dirty. So glad Bailey found happiness..[even if it was next 🚪]. Dre didn’t want her but didn’t want anyone else to have her, he definitely did not have to put his hands on her the way he did, so glad a real man found her heart and cherished it

This was a quick read. The love story between Bash and Bailey was instant. It was like love at first site. I wish the cover would say short story on it. There was very little back story on Bash. Basically, he was a kingpin who was now out the game looking for love. He met Bailey and there was an instant attraction. The problem is Bailey is in a relationship with Dre.
Again, the love between them happens quickly. Definitely, not what I'm use to reading coming from Anna. There some minor typos in the book. If your looking for something quick to read this is one you can finish within the day.

This was a great read. Bailey was the stay at home housewife without the ring or title to Dre who didn't appreciate her. She knew he was doing dirt but hoped it would get better, until she met Bash. Bash was the man. After retiring from the streets he was ready to settle down and have a family. Spending time together they fell in love with each other even though they were never intimate. I loved how he loved her and took care of her when Dre put his hands on her. Dre got what he deserved.

Bash is bae!
Bash is bae! I need someone like him in my life. I'm so glad that he handled Dre. He had a good woman. He didn't want her, but didn't want anyone else to have her. He finally got what he deserved. What kind of a man goes around hitting on women? Bailey deserved so much better than him and she found it with Bash. Yassss! Kudos to the author. My only problem with her is that I wanted more of this fairytale love story.

Anna you did an amazing job with this book. I loved the story line as well as the characters. The way Bash and Bailey connected was that love at first sight she fell in love with a real man and Dre got what he was asking for he was out cheating not wanting Bailey until she found someone else the way he did her was so wrong but I'm glad karma found him. Great job looking forward to reading more from you.

Good story
I loved how Bash always respected that Bailey had Dre has her man. Even though she had decided to leave Dre before meeting Bash. They had a lot of time to be open a honest with each other and those are the contents that are lacking in relationships now. Bash and his brother are straight savages though. I’m glad Bash had the right mind to get out the game early before anything happened to him and that was smart.

Where is MY Bash lol. I’m glad Ley found what she deserves. It’s funny how some guys can treat a good woman like crap, but turn psycho when the same thing they’re doing is done to them. Hope we get to hear more from Skokie and his wife. I bet they would have a great story! As well as Monique and her man, and his baby momma drama.

Bailey was a fool for a while. Her so called man Dre knew exactly what he was doing when it came to Bailey. He deserved whatever came his way because he was dead wrong. Bailey should have been left him alone. He may not have been physical in the relationship but he sure wasn’t there physically either. I loved Bash! That man was everything.

I’m loving these stories so much I hate to see them end. To all the weak men out there, take a few tips from Bash. If I wasn’t a married woman, I would put an APB out on him. Bailey lucked up when she met him. He showed her every day how a woman is supposed to be treated.
Dre should’ve cut his loses and moved on while he had a chance. Oh well!

Bailey & Bash
Sometimes it takes a prince to show you that you really had a frog all along. Bailey was so used to Andre's neglectful ways that when Bash was trying to show her the correct way she rejected it. I love Bash's humble character and Monique's crazy truthfulness. It took Bailey awhile to realize she deserved better but when she did it was in and popping.

Good Story
This was my first time reading a book by this author and I enjoyed it. Bash was(is) the man, he got outta the game and found happiness. I also liked reading about Bailey, she found love right next door. I hate Dre was crazy and did all those things to her but you know what they say karma is a B****. Great job Anna!

I live how Bas just wanted a family. He met Bailey and it was love at first sight for him. Bailey was in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere. When she met Bas he showed what a real man would do for his woman. I really enjoyed this book.

Bailey got her happily ever after
Dre was a piece of sh**. Thank goodness Ley listened to Mo when she told her to do better. Who knew that Bailey's life would change for the better by spilling a bag of garbage, Bash was just what Bailey needed.
