Welllll.... not to bad but dryer than the other two!

This was it too bad and was certainly a 5 stars, but it was dryer than the first 2.
So after reading all 3 brothers, I totally agree with the order that each brother came about and how each book reflected it.
Luv was my fav, the MAN, bae all the way,- all day and everyday and T’Air was perfect for him. My fav couple in this series.
Ebo and Sim, were probably the dryness couple but they still had some actives from all of the babies.
And my second fav was Lenox and Elle. Am so glad you decided to not have him fall for one of his jump off. They were perfect for each other.
All three books were perfect with having there on story’s different person. Clever, very clever!

Great ending to this series. Lennox matured a lot through all 3 books and was funny too. The only thing I didn't like was the way they cursed around their mom and dad!! I would never!!

Lennox Luke can get it.

I don't usually go for focktards; in this case, I was locked in on Lennox with a Flashback; I needed another dosage quickly. That Luke man was too fine, and he knew it. Once he saw Elle and decided he needed to go cold turkey straight, I knew this would be a fast ride. I enjoyed the sharp turns and their hot, hot connection. It was a short story, but I was happy with the way their love song concluded. Now, I need to find a DaddyLuke for myself.

Give us a chance

I was rooting for Lenox throughout all the books, so to see him finally get his act together was a sigh of relief. I liked Elle for him; she made the story that much better.

Lenox was the baby of the Luke brothers, so he wasn't taken as seriously as he wanted to be. I like that he took it upon himself to start with the realty properties and presented what he was doing to his brothers so they'd take him seriously. I wasn't too happy with how he stepped to Elle at first, yet I like how he put in the work like she told him to. He really grew with her and what a growth it was.

Elle being such a young boss made it hard for her to find a man who didn't see her wealth as a setback to her being a woman whom still needed guidance and security from a man. Although he came at her wrong at first, one thing Lenox was, was confident in being able to please her physically and emotionally. He wanted to be her man; her wealth didn't matter to him and I'm glad she gave him a chance. Even with her being a bit older, I'm glad their age difference wasn't a factor. They liked each other and really did compliment one another. I love that she took the initiative to ensure she could still have kids. That let me know that she not only cared about what she could get from their relationship, yet what she could give too.

I love that we got updates from Ebo and Luv, the growth of their families and blossoming relationships. These brothers were so great to read about.

I hope this isn't the last of this crew.

Great read. Great series. Highly recommend.

3.5! Older woman and younger guy love stories aren't my fave but I did enjoy this read! I think the hero Lennox was so entertaining that it wasn't a dull moment with him in this book let alone throughout the series! I loved his commitment to getting Elle and proving himself to himself and everyone around him! Elle, I'm just glad she found love in a man who didn't want anything from her but to love her. I can always root for that! Looking forward to reading more love stories from this author!

I love a good redemption story for the character in a series that is the ‘black sheep’ of the community/friend group/family. This one did not disappoint.

Lennox was my least favorite Luke brother for being a proud f*#!boy. So just for that he wasn’t getting a perfect 5 start review lolololol. But his story was still solid and believable. The author did a great job of incorporating depth to his character in this story. It actually gave me much needed perspective for my own dating experiences.

Elle was both likable and relatable. She grew up with just her dad and his successful business, so it made sense that she had a bigger hurdle to jump when it came to men, romantic relationships and family building. But lucky for her, she caught a man’s eye that was pressed about having her and changing his ways to get her. And she gained extended family on top of that. Win win.

The story ended a bit too quickly for my liking. If there could have been a little more development to their relationship before jumping into an epilogue, I would have been more satisfied. Regardless, this was still an entertaining, quick read.

Getting to watch Lennox grow within this series shows he was so much more.

Glad I have him time because he truly surprises you in his story. With the love and support from his brothers he finds his way and stands on his own two feet. He was just the baby and was babies until he became focused.

Meeting a woman like Elle was great for him. She was completely different than he normally went for but glad he did and made it his mission to make her see him. Coming from different worlds can have its hang ups but it can also work.

This was a great way to end the series. The Luke brothers showed more of the family side of them in this story and there is nothing like a beautiful black family that’s shows love and affection while all striving for the same love they seen and still see with their parents.

Lenox met his match

We knew it would take an extraordinary woman to tame Lenox, and Elle fit the bill. She swiftly gave him her a$$ to kiss, when they met, and Lenox saw it as a challenge. Little did he know she would be everything he didn't know he wanted. Elle thought Lenox was fine as hell, with f@@kboy tendencies. But, she was intrigued by his charm, and got caught up. The were good together although they both were afraid of falling. Sad to see this end, as I really enjoyed these brothers. Great read. 👍👍👍

Amazingggggggg

Awww Lenny 🥰 This final installment was everythanggggg! I have so enjoyed the Luke brothers and watching them grow in love. Nobody expected that Lenox was ready for love and commitment and especially a woman like Elle. She was everything he needed to change his player ways and he was what she needed to knock down the walls she had built up. Such a cute little love series and I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Still don’t know how I missed this release but I’m so glad I came across it. Amazing work as always 👏🏾 KC = 🐐 ..........

So Good

Great read...I have definitely enjoyed this series. Lenox & Elle were the perfect ending. She tried to hold out as long as she could but the she euphorically lost the fight. Loved how Lenox came into his own. KC Mills you have the "bestestes" (lol) male characters. It would be nice to get a Christmas story with all three couples afterall it tis the season to be jolly!!!...hint, hint.

Amazing Read

Lennox finding a woman that caught his attention past a fling was a shock to everyone. Elle came in and changed everything about him in a major way! He had already stepped up and made a change in his employment and business status. He and Elle fell fast and hard. This was an amazing series and I enjoyed getting to know the brothers and their lives. Job well done, KC!

I loved Lenox and elle. He elevated to get on her level and he brought out the softer side of her a lover needed to experience she thought she might never show.
These two are so lovely, the story had me on from the get and the family dynamics give you the fuzzies because of how the brothers support each other. Elle is blessed to have gained a family like that. Kudos to her assistant's machnations following back on insta for her.

Challenge Accepted ❤️

I didn’t know what type of woman would knock Lennox off his playboy sh#t🤣 but I didn’t see Elle coming and that’s what makes this story perfect. I am love with all three of the Luke brothers and truly enjoyed their journey to finding true love and expanding their family for a very fun and sexy happily ever after. Ms. Mills is out here throwing punches and not waiting on any comebacks 🤣🤣🤣

Now where do began first all3 stories about Luke man was not quick it took all three of these brothers to prove to the women in their life that she was the one. Then love came bond started after sex though with each couple but happiness is what all 3 brothers found marriage commitment and babies awesome work....but I would say recommend this Author books each book so far I read have not been disappointed yet

Dual perspective, his and hers. The baby brother, if you read the other books you knew he was behind his brothers. Again, I was amazed that every book was so different. This book gets a little deeper than the others, however, still pretty superficial. (You can only expect so much from such a short book.) Formatting again was an issue for me. Not something I will re-read, but it's another 3 books I've read.

Loved it!

Yes I loved it!!! To see the growth of Lenox was everything!! He really got on his grown man and I loved it. I absolutely loved him and Elle together. I was so glad she took that leap of faith and gave Lenox a chance. All 3 Luke brothers stories were well worth the read and hope somewhere down the line in the future we will get a short update on them.

I love those Luke brothers!!

I hate to see it all end, but i must say it's ending very well. I'm so happy that Lenox found happiness with Elle and he finally figured out what he wanted to do career wise. It was good catching up with Ebo and Luv also. T'Air and Sim reminded me of me and my folks because we will text about my brothers "friends" too😂😂!

Challenge: Checkmate

Two people that were against love find love within each other. It’s the challenge, the hunt that draws me into this book. Lenny is everything Elle needs but her wants are a little held back. So glad Lenny didn’t back down because once Elle took the challenge, it was checkmate.

Loved it!

Lenox and Elle were the perfect blend! They both needed what the other was bringing to the table. The Luke brothers were not to be played with and played the same game by their own rules! Luv was my favorite with Lenox coming in close second. Wish this series could continue but it was a great one nonetheless.

On Fire!

It took me 3 days with the whole series of the Luke Brothers. It was so good I forgot it was a short story. KC Mills brought a lot of life to it not just cause of adult content but it reminded there is love to feel physically and mentally. Looking forward to KC Mills next series.

🔥🔥🔥

This was a great ending to the Luke brothers for sure, it took a real one to make Lenox get his act together and Elle was just that person. I liked them together and how close their family was Elle now gained more to last forever...I did not want this book to end, o think we deserve like a follow-up mini book to see how the Luke men and their families are doing 🤣🤣🤣

Great book

I really enjoyed all 3 books. This one may have been my favorite. I love that Lenox was not intimidated by Elle’s success. There were a lot of grammatical errors that should have been easily caught through editing. Outside of that, the book was great. Glad to have recently found this author and I look forward to reading more of her books.

loved ❤️it

Lenox was near and dear to my heart because he was the baby and the one getting it together. Elle was definitely not out of his league and exactly what he needed. Elle needed Lenox too. She needed that man to love her and teach her how to let him lead and be the man. I would love to hear from the brothers again!! I can see a holiday novella!!!!

This One Was My Fave!

I love all 3 Luke Brothers, but I found myself rooting for Lennox and Elle the hardest. Lots of grammatical errors, which is surprising for this author but I still enjoyed all 3 stories. They are all feel good love stories with just enough hood to be dangerous.

The whole Luke brothers stories are not what I expected. I do want to apologize to those that personally loved it. I DID NOT! I listened to the audiobook and all three books the style of writing felt like I was in middle school. I won't try another book by this author. In total I've read 4 books by KC Mills. I know the narrators felt the same. It was very cringe 😬

This was the last of the Luke Brothers trilogy. The story of the youngest Luke Brother Lennox. I thought it was good to hear and compare the stories of each men. This one was the baby boy who just seemed to be all over the place with what he wanted to do with his life. He did enjoy his fair share of women but one was able to lock him down…and that’s all I will say about that.
