Very unique storyline
This was a really good well written book. The storyline was definitely different from what is out there. The only problem I had with this book, was there were way too many points of views. It was a little distracting for me. But everyone got their happy ending. Karma paid a visit to all who deserved it.

I found this read very interesting as these characters had their own unique storyline. Drama filled as Trevor's family kept the pages turning. Couldn't make up my mind on a fave character due to their actions but I did enjoy reading about their busy activities, lol. Good story

Yessssss
I absolutely loved this book. This book takes me back to some of your earlier books. Y out writing style is bomb you know how th of but she story with a lot of characters together without it getting confusing and overwhelming. When Trevor was shot I cringed. James was such a snake and he deserved just what he got in the end. I loved that Xi didn't give up on Eirxy and that she opened up to love. Ai and Duke belonged together and I think Trevor knew that it would eventually happen. Cassius and Chief both ended up with women that brought out the best in them and they deserved to be happy. Estella set the family free and now the family and breath ready. I can't wait to read the next book you have lined up next. Keep them coming because you are pushing these books out back to back and I'm loving it!!!

FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING
This book was excellent and different from what I've read so far by B. Love. Very well written, great storyline and character development. This book had my attention from the very first page. The family dynamic of these characters was enough to have you scratching your head and saying what are these people really into. What I did love was the bond the children had with each other. Although the siblings had a hard time with love and relationships they did encounter people who were genuine, patient and willing to love them unconditionally. That ending was priceless and kudos to Estella on her sweet revenge. Wish there were a part 2 or maybe a spinoff to any of the couples in this book. Great job B. Love.

Good read
This was good. It was a lot packed in 1 book. I would have preferred 2 books to stretch it out a little. Maybe elaborate on certain parts with the FBI investigation on the family that James mentioned or couples, but overall it was a good read. I would love an update on Eira and Trisha. Did they return? I think my favorite couple was Ai and Duke because she was so young and strong. Her father really new they were meant to be. Trevor kept his family and love 1st at all times and it all worked out for them.

Love and second chance
I absolutely loved this book I really thought it was going to be a series because of so much moving characters.I must say each of the characters was well established I liked each and every one of them.The only thing that was left out was what about Pamela especially if Trevor is coming back I wanted a glimpse of her happiness also I love that James for his karma and also sienna. really a great book I was intrigued from beginning to end can't wait for your next novel. Thanks B Love

How did this get published. Not tying to be a troll but the grammar is horrible. I loved the blurb and was intrested to see where this went but my god. I made it to page 20 before I had to stop. I felt like I was reading a Maury show scipt. I don't care about drugs, sex and swearing but when the characters sprout s#&t like "Its pops. Rock said he dead" or "I won't be able to look at you no more, so I'm trying to take full advantage of his ass being late". I think the author may be trying to set up a stereotype of black gangsters but it just makes them sound stupid.

Black mafia
Whew Chile, jealousy is something else, isn’t it? After I understood the connections to which parents from the kids perspective, I really enjoyed the story. James was toxic!!!! But the live if Trevor gave them hope that love can happen for them. Each one of the siblings had their struggle to let love in but it was beautiful when they did. Sienna, got what she deserved. Eira should’ve had one of them sisters torture her but she paid dearly. Good guy always finishes last.

Family First
This was so different from what I have read from B. Love. As I began reading, I wasn't sure if I was going to like Loveshed.......Well, I can say that I LOVED Loveshed. So many mini stories embedded into one main story, and everything flowed and meshed so well. 1-click and find out what happens when being married to the mafia has reached its end.....who will be left standing? Who will have bloodshed or Loveshed?!?

Different but just as good
Sometimes love teaches you the importance of true loyalty. Some people are only loyal to their need of you and once you no longer benefit them, their loyalty ends. The Salzano family had to learn some hard truths in order to be able to see the bigger picture. I’m hopeful there’s more to this story, because I’m here for it. This was different for the author, but B Love is always up for the challenge. This book was good.

Not your typical B. Love
In her introduction B. Love told us this is not your typical B. Love book and boy was she telling the truth. This story took you on a journey into the lives of the Salzano/Bruce family and grabbed your attention from the word go. If you are an avid B. Love reader as I am you will not be disappointed! I just need some spin-offs so we can follow up with each member. Hint hint.

Black Mafia
I usually don’t read Mafia stories. But OMG Married to the Mafia was the BEST. B. LOVE HAS KILLED TO WRITER GANE WITH THIS ONE. THE Salzano family is the “TRUTH”. Love and power will make a person sacrifice their freedom and peace. The plot twists and turns will have you on the edge of your seats. B. Love IS A BEAST.

Married to the Mafia
B.Love once again your ability has surpassed my expectations. The characters as well as the plot was spell binding.
This needs to be the start of aa series. There are so many stories to tell from this beginning. Please don’t disappoint your readers and make this a standalone.

Absolutely Amazing Read
This family had plenty of drama, but they all stayed together minus James and Sienna. Karma definitely was the best thing for the two of them. It's truly amazing how each sibling found true love despite their previous feelings because of how they grew up. It would be wonderful to read more on the siblings and what happens with them. Excellent book!

Married to the Mafia
This book kept me from page one. It's not your normal HEA but so much more. People never often realize the effect their choices have on those around them especially their children. But love conquers all if you are willing to open yourself up to the possibilities.

Loveshed!!
Whew chile! I was not expecting that twist in the end!! The Salzano and Bruce families were nothing to play with! I love the way the story ended and how everyone’s dreams were pretty much coming into fruition. I won’t give any spoilers, cause you got to read it for yourself!!
Great job B. Love!!

Can’t be the end
This book was different but so good. I enjoyed the multiple point of views. This book had me reading at 4 in the morning morning because I had to see what happened next. Jealousy and greed is a terrible combination and I hate James for being the way he was. I hope you tell us what happened upon Trevor’s return. I also would like an update on Eira and Trisha.

I so loved this book! I’m so sad it’s over! I wish we could have some spinoffs or a part 2! Because I wanted more insight into Trisha and Eira, Rere and Zi! Although I will say that I think Deacon & Duke was my baes in this book! I couldn’t choose just one smh I know I know. That James was something else. And that plot twist I never saw coming! Incredible

Too many POVs
While not a bad plotline by any means, the story just became too hard to follow and keep track of. Early on I kept referring back to the character outline at the beginning. But eventually that became too much of a task, and I just pushed thru! I've always been a fan of outside the box, unique storylines. But in this instance, less would have been so much more.

Whew!
I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Sometimes too many characters can get overwhelming and convoluted but I really enjoyed the book. This is definitely different from your other books and to that I say kudos to you!!!! The end was EVERYTHING!!!!! You did an outstanding job I enjoyed the twists the book took. I just hope there is a follow up.

Interesting
It was hard to predict what would happen from chapter to chapter. The Salzano family had a peculiar and untraditional make up. It was crazy how loyal all the kids were to each other, Pamela to Estella and them all to Trevor. Their dislike for James was the common denominator. There was so much action peppered with budding love stories. Great read!

Goodread
Wow what a read. James had so much hate in his heart that it was ridiculous, he was just too toxic and it didn't make any sense but glad his children or the people around wasn't filled with that same hate. Glad that Estelle and every child in the family were able to find happiness and Jamed was eliminated.

Different story but amazing
I have read other B Love books but this one is not in the same theme. It was amazing showing you the before, during and aftermath of a family. I loved all of it with its drama, tea and interactions. I would love a spin-off with coming back together for those families and see where they are now.

Like a movie
By far my fave from this author. Each character’s story was dived into and it was a pleasure to become engrossed in their lives. I hope to see more along these intricate lines. This was an enjoyable read.
