I was thoroughly disappointed with how this book ended. The level of toxicity among the characters in this series is absolutely horrific. I am not happy the women in the series all experienced abuse from their partners in some form only to end up with them in the end. This series could have been so much better had growth involved with moving forward. This fit the typical stereotype of urban lit, to find happiness you have to experience pain at hands of the one you love. This author can tell a story. I hope her future books tell a different story.

The Porters 🥂
I can’t believe how much I fell in love with the dysfunctional Porter family. I hate to see it end. I’m so proud of the development in all of the characters especially Lake (and Oceana). I’m going to miss this bunch!

This Series….
I didn’t want it to end….I really enjoyed getting to know the Porter Family crazy ass dysfunction and all. The one thing we can all agree on is how this family rode HARD for one another. However, I do think Wreck was the only brother left unresolved. In fact, Wreck was the brother that we heard from the least. The babies in the family got more time than he did. Also, the Porter Brother don’t know they have a sister…that too was unresolved.

These characters annoyed me to the fullest. Too many broken individuals. One brother raping women while sharing women with his brothers. Everyone was broken and had so many issues. Too many for my liking.

Wow. I had no idea I’d love this series this much when I picked up Front St Porter. The growth I witnessed with everyone in this book was amazing. This author truly did an amazing job writing such raw and realistic characters.
First of all, I loved Oceana’s and Avery’s relationship. The fact that she called her Abigail during every interaction they had, kilt me. 😂 I am sooo in love with Avery & Lake’s relationship. All these characters feel so real and Ivy’s and Vant’s relationship do feel authentic as well, but Avery and Lake is the epitome of what marriage should be to me. I felt like Avery was completely justified in wanting to know what was going on with her husband, she’s his wife and she should be his safe space too. The fact that she was so patient with Lake while he was facing his trauma, wow. It was true love. Their journey hit so different for me because I watched Lake transform into a completely different person. I’ve always said Lake has felt 35 since I read Front St. It felt like he lived twice. So many responsibilities at such a young age and Avery opened him to the idea of living for him and not feeling guilty about it. If that isn’t love, then I don’t know what is. Hassan made him believe he wasn’t worthy of love and although he acknowledged that way of parenting was not ideal, it doesn’t get rid of all Lake has dealt with. He deserves peace man I don’t care what anyone says. He deserves to allow himself to feel. I’ve fallen in love with a new couple guys. I’ll be taking about them for the rest of my days and I’ll go to WAR for Lake! ME and RIVER !
Ivy and Vant feel authentic in a sense where I can actually see this happening in real life. I know a lot of couples just like Vant and Ivy, but the difference is you can truly see that Vant was a fucked up, selfish individual that had a lot of growing to do. I despised Vant for what he had done to Ivy, but in a strange way, this book healed me too. It made me forgive Vant and looked past it, which is why I was glad to see them get back together. Watching Ivy though, boss up and turn her pain into motivation was something else. I felt liberated for her. Vant seriously broke her and we watched her get herself out of her depression stage. Ivy had me in awe.
Sav, Dem, and Chi have a serious fucked up thing going on. But what else can you expect from the Porter’s right? I truly do love Sav & Dem’s bond, but they’re both very dependent on another. Watch them let go little by little, makes me happy. They deserve to live their own lives, all of the Porter brothers do. It feels like Wreck’s story isn’t finished yet, so I hope we get a book about him. I want to know a lot more about Wreck too and Gia.

What a Journey
This has been a long and eventful journey with the Porter family. So many twists and turns. I don’t know what Ms. Nina was on when she wrote these books but I have experienced every range of emotion possible reading this series beginning with Front Street Porter. I feel like I should have been taking some type of anxiety medication 💊💊💊. You can’t go wrong with this series, these books had a little bit of everything, childhood trauma, mental health illnesses, domestic abuse, drama, family, life, love and healing. However, it ain’t for the faint of heart. There is a stigma in the black community surrounding therapy and mental health, so I loved that some sought therapy individually, as couples and then later as a family. I had fun watching the Porter’s go from boys to men, the women learn their worth and even though the series didn’t end with the typical HEA, I was happy with the ending. Everybody was on the journey to healing and Happiness

Healing, healing, healing. Y’all I felt like I was watching a marathon of iyanla fix my(even though that lady don’t be fixing nothing). It’s gets worse before it gets better and forgiveness and healing was the main focus In this book. I’m so glad the series ended on a positive note and nina highlighted how important it is for self healing. I loved everything about this book and lord this probably the best book I’ve read all year.

Sooooo… up until this point I’ve loved and championed this family. Well- that fell off for me with this one. Approximately 30% in I stopped caring about half of them. The toxicity was so much for me with this one. Which is saying a lot since the majority of this series is full of toxic and dangerous behaviors.
I think my biggest issue was the portrayal of the therapist. There were some positive and negatives with that. And I know I’m more sensitive when therapy is mentioned due to it being my profession. And I have to constantly get out of my head when reading someone’s take on what we do. The portrayal sometimes can be damaging, but that wasn’t the case for me here.
Another annoying storyline for me was Vant and Ivy. I hated the way everyone with the exception of Chi, treated Ivy like her even looking at another person was betrayal. And the way infidelity was addressed in therapy was annoying. Just because it still came off bias- like the goal was for her to take him back.
I’ve been championing Ivy from the beginning and I’m not sure how I feel about her conclusion. I love Vant. But he did some horrible things to her. And while he became a good dad. Clearly his insight- in the family session showed he was still not all the way there.
Maybe some of the gripes with this will be resolved in Daly’s book. I don’t know. But I love this family- the ending just wasn’t what I wanted. Avery was annoying and a know it all. Gia and Wreck🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙄- no conclusion. He was still doing a bunch of foolery. Sav and Dem! Heartbreaking still. Well not so much with Sav. The domestic violence and rape. Dude! That was normalized in this book in a way- that I just couldn’t wrap my head around- especially with this being “romance”.
Lake! His growth, along with O is why I rated the book a 3. I loved him, even more. Can’t wait to read the next one… I love Daly (honorary Porter)!

I didn't realize I was going to cry so hard. By the time Ingot to 90%of book 3 I had to out it down for a minute because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the Porters. This was a journey. But my goodness, all the trauma, heartache, and mess was so worth it. I love the character development in all the brothers but my favorite is probably Sav. I would love to read more about Dem and Wreck . This was an incredible series and I'm so glad I finally picked it up and finished it.

Well
This was a goid read. I have laughed entirely too much. Why bring up that Oceana had a daughter, but it was never mentioned again. I didn't like that. Good read

Round of Applause!! The growth of these brothers and their women was heartwarming! I can’t get enough of This family. Definitely one of my top reads for 2022. The story line may not be for everyone and there were many triggers throughout but it was so beautifully developed! I thoroughly enjoyed this series! WOW!!!
August 20, 2023
This was my favorite of the series so far. I cried, laughed, and it just touched in so many topics like abuse, healing, drug addiction mental illness and the love they all had for each other as a family was crazy. I absolutely loved this series.

AMAZING. Nina has me from now on. Whatever the heck she drops, I’m reading it. I literally never wanted this to end. Like, I am going to take a little break before reading something else just to let the porters digest :)
Well done.

August 14, 2023
I'm so confused. What did I read?
June 3, 2025
Them Porters definitely find a way into your heart. I was in love with the whole family especially Sav. He kept me laughing throughout the book, and I mean, someone better. After all the bull they put us through, I better at least crack a smile once in a while reading this mess.
The therapy was cute and all — I’m glad they decided to go — but I feel like they didn’t really get into the meat and potatoes. That family had so much going on that needed to be addressed.
Even with Avery — how she go from having PTSD, nightmares, and episodes… and then it just never gets mentioned again? And I love Dem, I really do, but someone needs to hold him accountable — or at least be shocked by the stuff that went down.
I’m not too mad about it, though, only because there are two more connected books in the series. I’m hoping that’s where things get unpacked more and we finally get some closure.
But I mean… sis came in swinging with decades worth of trauma, so I guess I can’t expect everything to be all peaches and cream after just three books 😭

Hard to let them go
I did not want to let the Porter's go! I loved them all, especially Lake. I cried, laughed and empathized with these men. There was so much growth emotionally and in size for their family. Almost all the Porter men now had families of their own. They were truly a product of their environment, and it was good to see their problematic and traumatizing behavior called out.
I have been dissing Vant in every review, because he hella triggered me with his stupid actions. Ivy wasn't perfect, but she was so good to him and his little brothers. The disrespect pissed me off and I just could not understand why his family wasn't enough. His growth in therapy, helped me to understand who he was and why he didn't think he was worthy of that type of love. The words we say to children can really impact them. I can't say that I liked him, but I respected his growth and his eagerness to be a good father. The scene where he is trying to allow AJ to cry it out, was so sad but really opened his eyes to letting go of bad learned behavior. Ivy wanted so bad to move on because she deserved better, but their love was too strong and Vant really did love her. I loved that she bossed up and pursued her dreams when she really didn't have to.
Sav was really a piece of work. He was the youngest of the crew, but he was smart and wise. I was disappointed in how he handled Chi at first. It was really too much. His relationship with Avery was sweet and although he was reckless in his own life, he really helped her see different perspectives which ultimately allowed her to be a better wife. Chi was a lot. She took tit for tat to the next level. She grew so much and I think it was good for her to soften and share her feelings instead of lashing out. Sav and Dem though, still team too much. Oh and I felt like he was the only brother that really understood Lake besides Daly.
Dem, I wish we would've gotten to see a little more of his personality. Learning more about his father's battles was sad and I really wanted his perspective. I was hoping to see him more in daddy mode, but he showed some progress. As a mother I wanted to protect him the most. Even though he was out of control it felt like they should be guiding him more. It was like well we got him help and let's hope for the best. It definitely could have been handled better.
Wreck was definitely down played. We got glimpses of him, but would have loved more of him. His pov and him interacting with Gia would have been nice.
That said we would have never been able to get to the end with all that lol. Now, on to my faves. Lake....sigh continues to be everything. This was him vulnerable and my heart broke a little for him. I was happy he was able to find love with Avery because he really deserved someone that loved ALL of him, that wasn't hesitant to ride for him. He deserved that type of love. I'm definitely not a ride or die, cause um no but for Lake I understood. He was the ultimate book bae! The way he supported Avery and just tried to make her life easier was huge. He struggled heavily with communication, but it was good to see them out real effort into making their marriage work. Avery was just magnetic. You felt it jumping off the pages. She loved so hard and she was the ultimate protector of Lake. His safe place and I loved that for them. Baby River cracked me up, she played no games about her daddy and Lake didn't play about her either. They had the sweetest little family even when it was hard.
The Porter's, I loved them but they were too aggressive for me personally. I'm glad they were working to be better, but absolutely a NO for me to all of them in real life.

I can confirm I have read nothing like this 🥹
I’m lowkey mentally drained from these Porters like omg!!
Idk where to start but possibly with my fave Ivy and Vant! What a journey but love conquered all for these two. I wasn’t sure if they would make it! Also Ivy’s business?! Boss Babe!
My fav Porter, Lake, got the love from Avery he deserved and Big O is back to assist in the healing! Also, River scenes were adorable!
Wreck and Gia are dealing with a lot of the same “She’s a virgin and he’s doing him behind her back”. I hope better for Gia in their book!
Sav and Chi (My second fav heroine) this love story is just getting started and I want to see future updates on this couple. I need Sav to realize what he has with Chi!
Dem I felt a lot of emotions around his character and I can’t wait for a book that dives more into why he is coping the way he does! 4 of anything at once is crazy! I also was proud of him for apologizing to Chi, she deserved that.
All the guys apologizing to Lake and learning to let go a bit!! Love!
This book has had me up late trying to complete the series and I’m glad I didn't give up! Check the content warning before reading!

Love, love, love me some Chi! She is a whole character.
Oh and glad mucci took her ass to hell! She never sat right with me.

I loved this dysfunctional family .. did Lake remind anyone else of Cane Tejada from Power?
Them Porter boys, fine, rich and WILD!
This is my favorite book of the series, the domestic violence was hard to read through. I enjoying the healing and growth displayed, and the incorporation of therapy.
Man these brothers ride for each other.
I do wonder if another book is coming tho.. cause we need to know about Key, and Oceana’s daughter??
The birthday present mix up by Sav 🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣

The family that captured our attention from day one, continues to reel the readers in. Introduced as teenagers, everyone is grown now and some have families of their own.
I'll begin with Lake and Avery. They share a love that is one of a kind,and even when they get on each other's last nerves, they still have the other's back. Avery pissed me off at times, because some of her actions were selfish. However, watching Lake keep her in line was hilarious.
Ivy and Vant had hit a few stumbling blocks in their relationship, and they gave me heart palpitations. I'm so proud of Vant's maturity, because Ivy was playing with fire.
Wreck and Gia are still trying to figure their relationship out, but they are on the road to happiness...in my opinion.
Sav and Chi were somewhat of a surprise, but once Chi broke it down, I understand why it works.
Dem...Lord, where do I start with Dem?! I love the way so many sacrifices were made in order to make he is good. Finding out the truth about a lot of things, really took him to another place, and it was very disheartening.
I am not ashamed to say that I applauded Mucci's demise. She got everything that she deserved...and more. How one person could be so evil, is totally beyond me.
Thank God for Dr. Pie!

Dem...Lord, where do I start with Dem?! I love the way so many sacrifices were made in order to make he is good. Finding out the truth about a lot of things, really took him to another place, and it was very disheartening.
I am not ashamed to say that I applauded Mucci's demise. She got everything that she deserved...and more. How one person could be so evil, is totally beyond me.
Thank God for Dr. Pie!
I have not been this invested in a series in a long, long, long time. So, I r

Round of applause, standing mfn ovation! Bruh this series is definitely going on my top 5 reads list. This is a series that will stay with the reader for eternity. I promise that you will never forget the Porters. I am obsessed with them like frfr it’s not healthy at this point lol, I cannot get them out of my system. I am trying to convey in words how the series made me feel but the perfect words haven’t even been created yet. If you are wondering if you should read this book, the answer is simple: what you waiting on? Nina is good in my book, anything she release I’m reading. When her book drops, ima stop whatever I am currently reading to read her newest release and I most definitely will not need a synopsis. Whoo Chile now let me see if I can go and find Sav to give me something to help with this pain I feel in my chest now that the series is concluded 😂lbs🥺💔

The end of a rollercoaster ride
I didn’t want it to end!!! But what more could I get when sis gave us over 1k pages on this family saga!!
I feel exhausted/exhilarated/nostalgia and more!
Because of the way it ended, my hope for these characters is that they’re happy, making good decisions and have found the path to better themselves!
I’m so glad for the therapy element! Cause ain’t no way you got all that trauma, and didn’t work through it. Love Dr. Pie.
Lastly this book is for Black folks, cause bay-beee there just too many cultural nuances that I think some folks wouldn’t be able to connect to. And it’s not that non-Black folks couldn’t, it’s just, there a lot going on. And if you are not a part of or are connected to Black community, this might not be the one for you! 🤷🏽♀️

Great Finale! Shoutout to the author because she wrapped up this emotional series that dealt with so much trauma really well. It was HEA Porter style and I loved it. I loveddddddd Dr. Pie if it wasn’t for her these characters would be lost. I loved that she reinforced that their behaviors were not okay and give them tools to learn and grow. Nina did her thing and gave us characters we will never forget. Can’t wait to see what’s next from her.

The characters are trash, story all over the place and no true transitions between paragraphs and the speakers.

Wow, just wow! I didn’t think I’d like this series as much as I did and I’m glad I finally read it.
The Porter brothers and their partners take you on a journey full of drama, laughter, and tons of other emotions. Nina delves into the complexities of love, identity, and the human experience. Her ability to create authentic characters that feel relatable and real is A1. Each book in the series is a snapshot of life, depicting moments of joy, heartache, and self-discovery. The writing is emotive and honest, capturing the nuances of human emotions with empathy and depth. I found myself drawn into the lives of every character.
On Us is a series that will touch your heart and linger in your thoughts long after you've turned the final page. I didn’t want it to end and let the final 20% sit for a bit until I couldn’t take it anymore lol. Nina's storytelling powers shines through in this series. Fantastic job 👏🏾

5!!!!!!/5 ⭐️
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I was iffy at the beginning of this series, the Porter brothers are something else but watching them grow was such a journey. The growth in this book was so raw and beautiful, I cried so much. I’ll really miss them, every character is written so well and all the storylines have so much depth. Ugh. I really loved every second of this.

Dysfunctional family but sweet story nonetheless.
Could not think of a better person for Lake after reading all the three books

Nina brought the good pen out and flexed her finger over the keyboard one more time for The Porter Boys conclusion. Lake...whew that man thawed out from Avery's love, only to be frozen again with his mama's reflections. He is easily the Alpha male you root for because he comes from the coldest and darkest of spaces to those that are full of love and light, he definitely deserves all the sunrises and sunsets his heart can hold. Wreck...arguably the one brother who still hasn't quite turned that corner yet, but embraces and supports the evolution of his brothers while struggling with his own. Vant...my favorite sensitive gangsta, when I say I'm proud of my brother...he definitely did some self-reflection and correction that I was literally cheering and applauding him for throughout the whole book. Sav...I appreciated his comedy mixed with bravado and intelligence sprinkled on top, it was nice to see him mature and come into his own. Dem...the struggle of literally having your mind fighting against you has to be one of the hardest battles for anyone, he keeps trying and striving to stay centered and present. He's another one you want to be great because if Lake is the heart of their brotherhood, Dem is definitely it's soul, when he's off they all are. This book was amazingly well written and delved into the evolution of boys to men, mental health, therapy being embraced and fatherhood. Well done lady, you deserve all the applause and positive vibes behind this one.
