Her Gangster, The Gentleman
Kahreem “Caliber” Lou has one goal—leave the streets before his thirtieth birthday. He has one job left, then his debts will be paid, and his loyalty will only be to himself. When he gets to his last job and finds a damsel in distress, he chooses to prioritize her life over his freedom… and only time will tell if it costs him his life.
In the streets of Memphis, Joy Dixon is known as Trouble. Trouble has seemed to follow her and her mother all the days of her life. The night Joy thinks her life is about to end, she’s rescued by Caliber. Used to men expecting a lot of something for nothing, Joy expects Caliber to demand the world. It catches her by surprise when he doesn’t ask for anything in return. In fact, he only offers to keep her safe. When she finds out exactly who he is, Joy embarks upon the hard journey of trusting and finding solace in her gangster… the gentleman.

Short but sweet!
Loved the chemistry between Joy and Caliber. It was so unexpected but sweet. The title definitely fits. He’s such a gentleman. The way he cared for joy is everything. Such a blessing in disguise.

Great, short read!
I really enjoyed this short read. Khareem/Caliber was a beast in the streets, but had another soft, gentler side. After meeting Trouble in the diner, he ran into her again as she was being beaten by her stepbrother. He killed the stepbrother and he and Trouble had a weekend that neither one of them would forget. I liked their relationship and was glad that they both got out of Memphis. I’d recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good short book.

Gentle but Gangster
B Love has done it yet again! This was definitely a five star ⭐️ read. It was short, sweet, sexy and with a plot that was everything. The chemistry between Caliber and Trouble was so hot💣🔥that it oozed off the pages. I loved the way Caliber protected Trouble and showed her his gentleman side. I don’t care what anybody says, Trouble’s mom was trash🗑. I am glad the couple got the chance to just be Kahreem and Joy. Loved it, couldn’t put it down so I read it in one day👍🏾❤️🔥🖋📝

Damn! That was an intense, yet enjoyable short read! Caliber and Trouble had an instant connection, and chemistry that was scorching hot! I loved how Caliber was bout his business in the streets, but a gentleman when in the presence of Trouble. Trouble was dealt a bad hand in life, and was pleasantly surprised when Caliber stepped in to help her out. A lot happened in that weekend to shape their current lives and futures. Hope there is more to their story. 👍👍👍

Well damn
This was a super quick read. And while I normally don’t read books less than 100 pages the teasers & cover had me hooked. And Ms Love did not disappoint. I think I fell for Caliber just as quickly as Trouble. Good, steamy, & mini action packed read. Do yourself a favor & grab your copy. I promise you won’t be disappointed 😉.

Cool read
I enjoyed reading this novella it was straight to the point. I'm happy she finally got her happy ending. Who would of thought Ben was such a snake. Keep up the good writing. These short reads keep us entertained as well as your long reads. Hopefully we could get a short with Tammy and devontae.

Kahreem did everything he wanted to do and everything he was supposed to do ,Ben created a monster so I don't understand why he was giving up half of the information to keep Kahreem under his thumb but that didn't work out , meeting Joy gave Kahreem a fresh a breath air and I think they made a cute couple!

This book left me wanting more, and I don't mean that in a good way. I have read plenty of novellas where the author is able to make me feel connected to their characters in less than 100 pages. Unfortunately, this story did not do that for me. It had great potential and the concept was nice, so its not a terrible read, it was just missing some..."umph".

great short read
I really enjoyed this and although we were warned that it was a novella I was still left wanting more. With the secret that was revealed I was really looking forward to Caliber having a convo with Savannah and her prior attitude as well. Enjoyed this none the less.

This was a really short read and for me some parts dragged on was duplicate, in my opinion. I found myself skipping through the paragraphs and pages. I (liked the characters) but felt no real connection to the characters and their union. The whole story line was just weird and left you wanting more and asking questions. However, with that said, I would still read another book by this author.

Not to short
Couldn't believe that this was a short story that took place over a weekend. The attention to detail made it seem much longer than it was. Caliber and Trouble went together like butter and rice. The ways in which the characters were developed made the story awesome. B. Love has become a favorite author of mine.

WOW!!!!
This was a quick read that I wouldn't mind more of. Caliber and Trouble had that instant attraction and the steamy followup between the sheets made their story more intriguing. The damsel in distress rescued by knight in shining armor. Now I would love to read a story on Devontae and Tammy.

This short was very, very good.
Caliber was that dude. Sweet, sexy, and deadly. Trouble was just that....Trouble. But Caliber could see through all the hurt and pain. He showed Joy how real men treat women.
Ben though....glad he got his just desserts!!

Caliber 😍
All it took was a weekend. Joy and Caliber had chemistry that couldn't be missed.
I had a feeling Ben was going to be on some shady stuff.
I didn't want the story to end. Now I need to know about D and Tammy.

Kahreem & Joy
Kahreem and Joy story was a quick enjoyable read! Loved how Kahreem didn’t hesitate to save Joy. He was feeling her from the beginning but was afraid but Joy had to break that barrier! Loved it!!!

I don't think you could've planned out Caliber's character more perfect than you did, B. Love. He was definitely both. I thought he wasn't going to keep his promise at first, but I'm so glad he did. Come on with the holy hoodlums then. Great read!

This wasn’t my favorite book by B. Love, but it wasn’t bad. It was a quick and easy read about two people who dealt with some challenges, but wanted better for themselves and set out to do just that…together.

It’s sad how Caliber had such bad experiences with losing the woman in his life or Joy was forced to stay in a bad situation. Im glad they were able to get more out of life and didn’t let that be their excuse to not go after something better.

B. Love doesn’t miss.
That’s it. That’s the review. I’m a fan of urban romance and fiction and her reads are top notch. Even the novellas. This story was short but action packed and sweet.

Another great read
I did not think I would like a fast post novella but of course B. Love has proved me wrong again. I loved that they both have closure and can live life the way they want. I’m hoping we get a story for Devonte and Tammy

Oh WOW!
As usual B. Love delivered a page turner. Colt and Trouble's story had me on edge on what's going to happen next but that ending OMG! Waiting to read what's next from this author.

Easy read with some hard truths. Both Caliber and Trouble hold hurts from their past that stems from a slew of family secrets. The author did a good job of telling their story in this novella, I recommend this read! 💖

Nice short read! Main characters had great chemistry and personalities. Not a lot to read but you didn't notice because the author did a great job at giving them a back story and seeable future. Nice job.
