Some Down South Thug Luvin' : Books 1-5: BOX SET

Rate this book
Box Set Books 1-5 Trill is tall, sexy and a man who likes to take charge. He is also a dope dealing, big time boss from the south who is running Houston as if he’s the sheriff. With the only two people he trusts, his right-hand man, Savino and his protégé Cordell, they run a very lucrative street business. Now that Trill is thirty, he is looking for that one big score, so he can secure his lifestyle and leave the game altogether. Timing couldn’t be more perfect when he meets Cordell’s younger sister, Jewels. She is a gorgeous young woman with goals which is a fresh change from what Trill’s used to. Right away drama creeps in when Trill’s crazy ex-cuddy-buddy, Taya, gets wind of this relationship. Taya won’t let go, even though he’s made it very clear that he doesn’t want anything to do with her. This is a major blow to her, and she reacts by beefing with Jewels. She vows not to stop until Jewels is eliminated from Trill’s life for good. Now Savino, unlike Trill, has a long-time relationship with his girl Rayna. They have been together since they were young teenagers. She’s his loyal queen through thick and thin, but now she needs something more to make her feel complete. This all starts to happen when Jewels puts her on to a job and she begins to earn her own money. The newest of Trill’s crew is Cordell, who is proven to be loyal beyond a doubt. His only mistake is when he begins to mess with two jealous chicks at the same time. Now when he gets caught up, he doesn’t know who to blame. They all have something in common; they are all involved in Some Down South Thug Luvin’. All they have to remember is that it’s not always the way you go into the situation, it’s the way you come out…

I love that this is a five book set! It's a really good story, so I was happy to see that it wouldn't end too soon.

The characters you get to know. It's a really good story, so I was happy to see that it wouldn't end too soon. I liked Trill and his style. He had so much drama. The circle of friends that could be considered family was what I liked the best.

That was soooooooo good

Let me start with, thank you for the bonus it was definitely a treat. Thank you for your thoughts bcz Trill and Jewels’s journey was definitely a great one. She swooped in and snatched a thugs heart. I really love how this story was written it was definitely relatable. If ur look for good reads you’ve found it.
Happy reading

kind of boring

It started kind of good as a thug romance which I love but veered when authors changed the thug men into housewives. I couldn’t understand why they had to become housewives after they got married, I mean you can still be a little thuggish and have a wife and kids. I hated Taya fate, she didn’t have a good life at all, all she wanted was someone to love her. The storyline became too soft, boring and no action. And Rayna and Jewels childish self was my hated characters. All the women were possessive, obsessed and borderline crazy over these men. Unbelievable

Straight fie

This series was a great page turner the character development was excellent. The main characters were captivating as well as the story line I found myself going from enraged to lmao to tears at times when reading about Taya. I think a spin off giving us a better look into Ryan's wife how she first got admitted to the the loony been and what happened once she was released from prison. How did him and Dom deal with her after freedom ?

Good Read

ThiS was a good series. It had some grammar errors and mixed up names but all in,all, it was good. Trill and JewelS were true black love. Taya was a evil bitch, she reaped what she showed. Rayna and Savino, hood love at it's finest. She. Needed to be taken down a bit. But I enjoyed the book.

Too much drama for me.

I would not allow my 18 year old self to deal with half of the mess and drama Jewels went through with Trill. Raya and Sorvino omg, finally they got it together. Parrish deserved to be loved properly. Taya is WOW. Lots of surprised in book has my hands covering my mouth with shock and awe. Overall this was a good series. Thanks!

This series kept me interested all the way through. Taya was a bad person all in all she was my most hated character in this series & im glad Parrish didn't let Taya to manipulate & control her. I loved the other characters. Aryan was so funny & didn't take no shit from nobody. I recommend this series its a real page turner

Twisted love affairs

This book was amazing throughout but I must say these relationships had made twist and turns. Jewels and her husband wasn’t bad, Raina and poor Salvino was off the chain but much love, now that dam Ryan and Telia had too much going on but I can say I would read this again.

Wow

I rarely do reviews, but I had to. Everything was so real. It can and has happened in real life. Even though the people were young they were dealing with grown up situations. I gave you 5 stars, I wish I could give you more. This book was 1,000 pages. It took me three days to read because I couldn't put it down. Yaw did whatcha yaw did, so keep doin whatcha yaw doin.

Can't wait for the next series!

Awesome 👌🏾
📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 very inspiring. I'm so sorry that Taya didn't know what love is. Her mom never really showed unconditional love. She really was a pain in the butt. She just wanted somebody to really love her unconditionally. She never got no love from home and wasn't taught how to be a lady and how to carry herself.

Damn!!!!

This book was good from beginning to end!! It was crazy with Taya all the way through but sad at the end when she died but I’m glad everyone was able to put their differences aside and become one big happy family.
