Grown adults who can’t have a simple conversation without throwing tantrums! All the couples in this series shouldn’t be together…NONE!
And why did the book drag this long??? Nothing happened in the third book. Lol and the mafia storyline??? Please!

Omg!
These couples were taking me through it. I love these strong women. They talk back, but they had to show these men, they don’t just accept anything. These women matched their men energy. As much as I wanted Toni to just forgive shottah, nah sis, take him through it, any other situation, Toni’s behavior would have annoyed me, but if you take him back without him feeling you, he will keep acting up. Atleast if you taking the man back, don’t let it be easy. So I didn’t get annoyed. Also, they were still intimate through the breakup, so it was times I forgot they were even still broken up, because Toni would say it, but it didn’t feel much like a break up. Shottah messed up once, but it cost him also, Shottah was pretty much allowing her to act that way because he knew he was wrong. He wanted her to want him on her own. That’s something else i appreciate about this book. They weren’t the type of men that do wrong, then force their women to stay with them through verbal threats of killing anyone in their path like other urban romance. I love that Steppa and Yomi had a clean break up. (Besides being pregnant by her ex 😬)He realized he couldn’t compete with the love Yomi had for Menance and he left her! The author didn’t turn Steppa into that bitter guy who starts beefing with MC, then lose his life over this woman, and the reader is wondering why is he going so hard for a women he’s been dating for a short time! Yomi, baby, she didn’t play with Menace, lol. I’ve been looking for urban romance with strong female leads, most authors I’ve read, the women are weak and allowing their men to flip the script. If you are looking for strong women who give back what their men give. This series is the one. I would love to read more about Murda and Yatta!

what happened
I loved the first book mainly because of shotta and menace. As well as a couple of scenes that made me laugh out loud. The second book was ok but a little boring and nothing to catch my attention too long. By the third book I was over it! Got damn it the way tonii dragged everything out this whole book killed me. Once I got to 58 percent I skipped all the way to the epilogue. While shotta did need to learn his lesson the back and forth tonii was doing trying to see if she could shotta was damn near literally killing me. Like she is the reason I didn’t want to read more. They could have gotten their relationship back on track once the girl was dead and we found out shotta wasn’t the baby father. The miscommunication trope in all the books pissed me off honestly because most of the problems could have been solved if they sat down and talked and listen to each other. I do love how immediately shotta claimed true in the first book. The part with the random sisters popping up and that whole family sage I could have done without.

sigh
I couldn’t get with Toni. I’m sorry. I get Shottas did wrong(even though it was out of left field because I didn’t get that vibe from him the first two books) but they were broken up the whole damn book. He might as well had moved on as long as it took. Hitting him with that bottle and leaving his ass could’ve killed him and this whole time all it took was him planning a secret wedding and calling it off to get her back. That was stupid to me because in that case she should’ve been took him back. I was ready for him to move on because sis was on bs. Honestly I was just annoyed majority of this book. This series did not live up to what I thought it would be. Pretty disappointed. It was ok but the females kind of ruined it for me. Sorry not sorry.

i ain’t even gone lie
This was my second time reading this book and actually finishing it . Toni was too much like i was hoping shotta moved on cause she dragged this out to the point she didn’t even deserve the man .. you knew he wore a condom so the possibility of him having that baby was slim on the contrary of how she treated Stefan , like gurrrrl get it together.. this book actually pissed me off 😂 i ain’t even gone lie now i gotta pray cause i don’t want this on my heart tonight .. great read but shotta should have gave her the same she gave him .. dragging this book out cause she wanna be petty . I’m sick of her but if it’s a spin off ima read and skip Toni parts for sure 😂

Sigh, the whole series
Another typical hood book, not a likeable or smart character in sight, the guys are supposed to be big time, super money having it men, the girls are the finest, yet, everybody moved sloppy and was so very immature and overly toxic. When all of a sudden sisters come out the blue wanting Yomi to take over the family legacy with them I was too done. Each book got more unbelievable and ridiculous. This is not it, very stereotypically typical and has been done a million times before like copy and paste, at least put a spin on it or something.

There were definitely a lot of twists and turns throughout this series. Ultimately, I like happy endings, so if the characters end the book happy, then I'm happy. Starting off the series, Tonni and Shottas were actually my favorite couple...BUT once Menace and Yomi got their s#*t together, they definitely became my favorite, hands down. I loved the family they built. I loved that Yomi connected with a family she never knew about at first, and everyone just came together and was just one big collective.
I was rooting for Tonii and Shottas to finally overcome their struggles as a couple, and though they stressed me through the process, it ended up working somehow, and that's all that matters. Tonii and Yomi's lives did a complete turnaround from the start of the series, and I loved that. I was intrigued up until the very end, so overall, this was a cool series.

My favorite passage in this book:
“You doing too fucking much, Tonii! To hide all this shit and for what,” he spazzed. “We've been down this road before! Yo ass always wanna switch up occupations and shit. What’s next? Yo ass wanna be a fucking firefighter, like c’mon G,” Shottas went off. I had to stop myself because I

Good:
I enjoyed this last piece to this book series... I truly loved how we saw a different side to Men in this book, he bossed all the way up and loved Yomi the right way...even with sister business he was really into helping her...they really made this book and i love the addition of the sisters. Tonii and Shot...uhmm kind of let down, i get that she thought him a lesson and good job at not giving in but they really got on my nerves then in the end it was all okay..ugh i just wanted more from them because i loved them in book 1. All in all a really good series and will be reading more from Ms Coco.

Just glad it’s finally over.
Okay there were entirely too many didn’t storylines. It’s like when one would end another would start over.
I hated the repetitive scenes between Toni and Shottas. It got on my nerves.
Menace and Yomi were okay I guess.
I found it laughable when all of sudden she was suppose to one of the heads of a mafia family.
I’m sorry like what?
So all of sudden her and Toni were QueenPins and gangsta?
Umm ok.
This book also needs some editor which knocked my rating of it down.
I would have mentioned Murda and Yattas storyline but honestly it was pointless.
At this point I’m just glad it’s over.

Great Read
This series was so good from the first book to the very end. So enjoyed the storyline and these characters and I couldn't put it down. Definitely going to miss Shottas. Really glad that the couple's finally got it together and got their happy ending. Can't wait for the spin-off to read more about the sisters, plus Murda and Yatta. Highly recommend this series. Job well done Coco Shawnde

It was cool, slight spoiler in the review
This series started out sooooo good, & I loved it until the ladies got in the drug game smh. Once Keoki & Ladaonna came into the story stuff stopped mkn sense/flowing. Then they got introduced to Yomi & the story really started feeling like it was all over the place. Either way, def read it because it’s a completed series, & who doesn’t want to know how a story ends

This was a really good series. I understood Toni not giving in to Shoota so easily. If it was easy for you to cheat and without protection the first time you can do it again. I hate it took 3 books for them to get it together. We had a chance to at least see Kiyomi and Menace love grow. Menance was the man and didn’t mind telling Shoota when he was wrong. Overall, good series.

Book 3 hit!
The way Shottas and Menace love Toni and Yomi is just *chefs kiss*.
They were so serious and diligent about correcting their mistakes and showing their ladies that they loved them and that they were worth the work.
Toni and Yomi both had to also open up and communicate better. They had to meet the guys in the middle. It just was such a good love story with growth and also some get back!

I was so happy that everyone got their happily ever after, but babyyyyy, Tonii stressed me out!!!…
She was on her way to talk herself out of a WHOLE MAN!!!…
Menace showed the most growth over this series and I was here for it!!!…
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and love seeing how the family started to grow and or wasn’t by blood!!!…

Great read
This book was everything and I’m glad that I enjoyed reading them. I’m glad that my girl Tonii got married and was now pregnant. I was happy that Yomi got to have sisters that loved her because her twin treated her so wrong.

I loved the whole trilogy! I can appreciate an author that makes each character an individual. Menace & shotta something else and they kept me laughing while on my toes. You did that! Will be reading more books from you.

Tonii really got on my nerves. I honestly didn’t think she loved Shottas at all and felt like they should have never got a happy ending. But this was a good series and I’m glad I discovered this author, because I love her writing style.

what a way to end a series
I didn’t like how it took Toni so long to forgive Shottas. That was crazy to me. The baby wasn’t even his. Menace and Yomi relationship seemed to work out after his bm miscarried. This was a good series. This was a series that flowed nicely.

Beautiful ending
This series ending beautifully. I would love to see a spin off about Yatta and Murda. I think they go good together.
