I just loved hearing updates with the Bennett Brothers....It's great to see things in their lives evolving. I adore the relationship Uncle Bash has with his niece Sanai...I think that's the cutest relationship. I can't wait for book 4 about cousin/brother Tavious.

A sweet wrap up of some of the best brothers I’ve read! I enjoyed this update on the Bennett’s and how each brother is adjusting to their new lives with wives and kids. I loved the realistic aspect of covid.

The evolved Bennett Brothers

I enjoyed being to catch up with the Bennnett brothers as they move through their life of love and still finding the balance of themselves and the importance of family. Slightly disappointed that we didn’t to catch up with Travious.

A very sweet catch up on the Bennett siblings and their wives. I love how the Bennett brothers don’t hold back in showing love for each other.

The story of the Bennett brothers and their wives during the Covid-19 quarantine was a beautiful story. It's good to have a circle and be able to shelter in place in a mansion with your crew! Beautiful story.

[Tiffany K · Rating 3 out of 5]

I usually hate reading anything that mentions COVID-19 or the pandemic. But this was a cute way of family sheltering.

This series has 4 books, but, I think I’m ready to tap out. This is a spicy soap opera and I’m fine with not knowing about Tavious.

[Rashawnda · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a cute and spicy update on the Bennett Clan! It was a long road to get these couples to where they are now and I’m glad to see them all happy with their little families.

I want more. Love the Bennett family. Sebastian and Imani were my favorite. With all the couples, they brought out the best in their partner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤

It was so nice to catch up with the Bennett Brothers and their wives and see the growth of their families. This is the icing on the cake after you finish reading the novella. Donnia Marie it was an absolute pleasure reading the Bennett Brothers

What a great catch up w/the Bennett brothers. Sean, Benji, and Sebastien have not necessarilty grown up, but evolved in this series. They've all learned valuable lessons about themselves and those they love.

This quickie takes us to everyone going through the beginning of the Covid pandemic. I thought it was a snapshot of how this country was not knowing how long this "inconvenience" would last. You see the issues of being away from family, and how that affects the person suffering, but also those around them. There's the heat we know and love with these men and their strong women. I really enjoyed this. Of course, it's always a treat to hear Jakobi and Wesleigh do their thing w/fabulous narration.

[Alvina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I kind of missed the Bennett crew and all of their wives/families. I wasn't disappointed that Tavious wasn't really mentioned in this book because I just never really got a good vibe from him, yet, I'm glad he made an appearance. This was a nice, yet short, book to catch up on each of the Bennett brothers, their growing families and marriages. I liked that the author threw in the Pandemic that we all (the whole world, mostly) has been experiencing since early 2020; made this a lot more relatable. This wrapped it all up and I like it.

[JigsawGirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listened to the audio book. It was an enjoyable listen to some of my favorite narrators Jakobi Diem and Wesleigh Siobhan.

I also liked getting an update on the Bennett Brothers and the rest of the gang, especially hearing about how they coped during the first days of the pandemic and lockdown.

One of my favorite families and narrators; how could I miss? But, you know, never satisfied. I wish it had been longer, lol.

Nice Catch-Up!

This was a great way to catch up with my favorite couples! And I like how the Quarantine was the perfect setting to have all the couples right there with each other. It was great to see that while each couple is happy and in love, they are not without their issues, but they clearly strive to work through them together. I loved it!

[Limecello]

I love Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem

... but :X

for now I'm going with DNFing this audiobook.
The Bennett books were hit/miss for me [I think I only finished the first?]
and/but ... just no.

Like - it's set in last ~March and Covid and look.
Some people want to read that.
But ... I don't. And I don't want to hear about it.

Just not for me.

[S. Reid · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was glad that the author put in the REAL TIME COVID Pandemic into the story line & glad that most of the characters appeared to had matured as they expanded their families.
I listened to this book via audiobook AHEAD OF "A STEADFAST LOVE" where we find out the story of relative Tavious Bennett that I promised myself that I would listen to the audible of Book 4 after this review.

[Renecia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I made a rookie mistake with this book. I saw that it was a short novella and I quickly started it because I’m trying to reach my 2026 goal. However, this is a wrap up tight story including characters from other books/a series that I’ve not read. I definitely needed the back story, but I’ll have to go back and get it later!

[Darlene Daise · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great way to end....

I loved this story it's a great way to end this series, I love how the brothers came together with their families and shared in the joy of being their for another...that being say would love to know what up with Shooter and Lexi

[The Book Junkie Reads . . . · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was nice catching up with the brothers and their wives. It was interesting watching for the new arrival during a pandemic. It was connecting to see the changes in each of the lives of the men as they become more family men, independent men, stronger men.

[BetweentheCoversLiterary · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will never get enough of the Bennett brothers… this book was such a treat and I truly enjoyed getting a glimpse into the lives of some of my favorite couples. This series was definitely amazing and I look forward to so much more from this author

Closure

It was great to follow up on the Bennett brothers….Ri is my girl! She doesn’t give a F about what others say or think. I have a toss up on the brothers however Bash has really grown. Amazing how Donnia wrote this story amid Covid shutdown. Just perfect.

[Cre8tive Dreamz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really good book and or was so good to catch up on the lives of these brothers and the women that was part of their lives!!!…
I love how they supported each other during that horrible time when the world seemed to have stopped moving during COVID
