I Need A Gangsta

Rate this book
Christian, Leigh, and Maria’s father was a rolling stone. Before their mother found out about his cheating ways, the trio of sisters lived a perfect, normal childhood. One morning, they woke up in a healthy home and family… by that evening… their lives were changed by their father’s truth forever. Not only did they find out he had twenty-four other children, but he left their home and family for good.

Christian, the oldest sister, loves with paranoia. She waits for the day the man in her life will lie, cheat, or leave like her father. Her current beau, Tyrell, does everything he can to ensure her of his fidelity. But when Christian finds out that he’s been blocking women on her phone and social media, her mistrust causes their relationship to take a turn that neither of them were expecting.

Leigh, the middle sister, places the bulk of her value on her beauty and her body. She prefers not to commit, though she’s never without a gentleman friend. Her current friend, Ransom, is ready to take things to the next level. Leigh is sure she can convince Ransom to keep things as they are… but she puts herself in the position to lose him permanently when one impulsive decision at work comes between them.

Maria, the youngest sister, is all about her hustle. When their father left, she’d spent the least amount of time with him. Because of this, she has no desire to love and trust a man… and it doesn’t help that the only one she loved was murdered years ago. Burying herself in her illegal work, Maria despises the idea of love and romance – but Jax Diesel is determined to change her mind.

In the streets, Christian, Leigh, and Maria have it all together. Between the drugs they deal, murders they commit, and heists they pull off… the trio of sisters are seemingly untouchable. And while they wish the same for their hearts, three men prove they aren’t as impenetrable as they think.

It took me a few tries to follow the story. However once I figured out who was who, I continued reading. The story moved along at a moderate pace with a lot of world building to start a new series. Coming off the heels of the Mafia series, I hope that this series will eventually pull me in.

(a couple spoilers, so don’t read if that’ll bother you, sorry 😬) BITCH, Ms. Love did her mfn thang with this. Maria, Leigh and Christian all have my heart ❤️ their dog ass father really messed them up relationship wise. I can’t believe this man had 20+ fucking kids and the women didn’t know about each other! As I’ve said before, THESE NIGGAS AINT SHIT 🙄😂 Leigh used sex to cope w/ her daddy issues and fucked up her relationship 🤦🏽‍♀️ they weren’t official but she was still wrong for fucking that man. Ransoms pain was palpable. I hurt for him and I honestly didn’t feel bad that he didn’t take her back lol. Now, there’s a baby involved and she won’t tell him. Can’t wait to see how that plays out. Maria 💔 I can’t imagine falling in love and then losing them to gunfire. For years she’s stayed to herself and then along comes Jax stirring up emotions she kept bottled up. He resembled her first love, Malibu, and that angered her. He was willing to chase her but she dissed him for this clown, Vincent, not even knowing he was plotting on her. I freaked out when he pulled the gun on her and revealed who he was! 😣 my bitch better make it out, lmaooo. Christian 😩 sissss, drop Tyrell bitch ass and SIT ON NASH DICK 🗣 fuck a friend zone, get yo mfn man! I get why she’s clinging to Tyrell, he’s safe and really can’t hurt her bc she doesn’t love him. But, life is too short to settle and Nash tryna eat that ass like a cupcake and make you happy for life, get with it. I can’t believe how fucking deceitful and disrespectful Tyrell is though...just, wow. I pray Ransom hears Leigh out about the bounty cause it looks reallll fucked up 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m really excited to read the next installment. There’s so much I wanna say but I can’t without spoil the entire book, go read this shit y’all 😩❤️

Omg! A great read. I knew Vincent couldn't be trusted, he was trying to hard. I love Ransom and don't blame him for how he is handling Leigh but I want them to be together. Excellent read. #OneLove

Great introduction to the Gucci Gang. We meet Christian, Leigh, and Maria three of the 27 kids of Ricky Gucci and 6 women women. The siblings have series abandonment issues from their fathers behavior and decision to walk away. Thanks to their paternal grandmother they are allowed to develop positive relations with each other. B Love shows us how parental relationships impact our adult lives as we experience the relationships of the 3 sisters and the men they date. B. Love does a great job of including life lessons and words of wisdom that can be implemented in real life. This book was full of drama due to a lot of bad decisions and self inflicted trauma. Throughout the book all three sisters grow and develop as they heal.

There was a lot of redundancy that did not add any value to the story. I experienced some emotional moments and anxiety because of some of the reactions to situations and was very frustrated with Leigh. She redeemed herself and I was glad to see it.

The Gucci Gang bangs up Ish!!!!

This was a good read although I could've done without how the men looked physically every chapter but I enjoyed reading about these siblings! They really loved one another! The men, Jax, Ransom and Nash loved Maria, Leigh, and Christian. All of them went through a lot but they all finally accepted the love that was waiting for them! I felt really bad for Ever, she was developing Alzheimer's and the grandkids didn't know how to handle it but they loved her immensely. Ricky coming back is really hard on his kids but only time will tell if their relationships mend. I also loved how those brothers loved their sisters! Great start to a great series!

Love this family ! ❤

B. Love~Really weaved this family together with grace and love ! They are one of my top three fam series and B. made soooooo real to me. Looking forward to the Gucci brothers book. I loved that B put 3 siblings together in one book that's much better than reading one at a time 😕 It's 27 of them and I would just skip some of them I don't like 🤣. I really want to get to know Benjamin, I feel like he isn't as narcissistic as they all think ! Hmmm. Lol. I hope he is part of Pressure, Donovan, and Drecco's book ! 😎

loved it

A great story with lots of energy, twists and turns
True family love, loyalty, support, revelation, forgiveness and drama
As always B Love knows how to weave a story and never disappoints
She brings us into the lives of three sisters and the men who ultimately wins their hearts
It was great seeing their love unfold and while the story about them ends somewhat you do need to read the next book to read more about their lives and siblings
Great job B looking forward to Book 2 coming out in August

Loved it!

Although it took me a while to read it, I absolutely loved the Gucci Gang. This book was well written, flowed well and definitely kept my attention. The only thing that I could do without was the frequent mentioning of the men physical characteristics. Christian, Leigh and Maria were as close as siblings could be and their men loved them unconditionally. Ransom, Nash and Jax were real boss baes. Now 26 siblings, that is definitely a gang. Looking forward to reading more about these siblings.

One Love!

What an excellent start to an excellent series! The Gucci girls are fierce and bad to the bone! Betrayed by their father, Ricky Gucci, the girls learned that he had other families and a total of twenty-seven children! Needless to say, they had daddy issues! Despite their father's betrayal and desertion of them all, they all established relationships and loved each other... mostly!

Absolutely loved!

This Book! This Book! This Book. So so good. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I love the authors style of writing. So expressive, well thought out and easy to follow. The story kept you interested and engaged. It was very relatable and touched on so many topics of love, loss, family, trauma and resolution. I experienced so many emotions following these siblings/friends and was absolutely invested in what happened to and with them. Such a great read.

Great Read

This author never disappoints. They these stories are intertwined and the chemistry each characters possess,you can't help get attached. Leigh made me want to strangle her but I'm glad love prevailed in the end. I can't wait to hear more about the brother's next.

I’m screaming

When I was done with the 10 book saga I was so almost depressed bcz I wasn’t ready to leave them but thanks to pressure and his ton of siblings I was able to hang in a little longer. This has to be one of my favorite series this year. I will definitely be looking for more. Waste more time download and start reading.
Happy reading

What a start

The Gucci Gang story was one heck of a start. There are a lot of characters to keep up with and personalities, so I suspect there will be several books to follow. Because the list is deep, it's hard to say which pair is next, aside for Benjamin.

Good

A good story with some drama, trauma, secrets, lies, and deceit. The characters are a likeable, interesting, and all dealing with their own issues. Some have daddy issues, some mommy issues and a lot have trust issues. I definitely can't wait for more from these characters.

three Guccis

When I started this book I almost didn’t finish because these sisters were making me mad with how they were moving. I continued and the story progressed. I know it wasn’t insta-love, but black romance that developed to happy endings.
