Loved it🔥🔥🔥

I knew something wasn’t right about about Kaylee and Leyla obsessed forreal. Adonis was good for Dreu even though she gave him a hard time at first. Tank seem cool wish we could get more of him.
Baylea was a true definition of a nerd she was trying to talk to Pharaoh if it wasn’t for her best friend/ roommate or the fact that she knew his little sister she wouldn’t had been talking to him. I liked Pharaoh he wasn’t liked your typical popular guy with all the woman he had eyes only for her.
I like Dominic I don’t agree how he did Blaze but am they could come together at the end for there daughter and make it work. I love how you included the other character from the first book into this story.
Gramma wrong for doing Nova like that. Zero was crazy but definitely was my favorite out of all of them. I hope to get a part 2 of Dallas story.. Great read great book..

Elle, you did that !

Let’s start this with, I’m a big Elle Kayson fan so I was super excited to see that she was publishing something and let’s just say, I was NOT disappointed. Dom is dominate as hell. He is very much—almost too much—alpha male. I really wanted to dislike him because he was too overpowering, all consuming and had plain ole big bully energy but ultimately I just couldn’t hate him. Just like Blaze, he stole my heart. Tre Kinsey (The beauty of this street love -Elle Kayson) done found himself some competition. There were moments that I wished Blaze was more resistant but overall, I was satisfied with the story. Also, I enjoyed the other author’s story as well. It’s great to see this kind of level of support that allows great art to be put out together.

What a way to start the New Year, but with thug gentleman! 😂 Ladies, y'all did yo thing with this anthology! All four stories were highly entertaining, and had a connection to the next read. The so called friends in each story, were just foul as hell! Then the savage comes into play!
Between Adonis and Dominic's stories, I don't know which one was more of an alpha male! They both were on some over the top ish, to get their women! Pharaoh was the calmest of the the four, and Zero was just just the thug teddy bear! I hope there is more to Zero and Nova's story. Where is Galaxy? How do they handle Gemma and Curtis? Great job! 👍👍👍

Loved all of them

I loved every story in this anthology. From the very first read I was hood and would love more about all of these characters, especially Zero and Nova. All of the characters were well developed, interesting, and dealing with some crazy issues. The way these stories intertwined really kept me interested and wanting more. These authors did a great job with each read and all of these characters. I definitely will be on the lookout for more.

Enjoyed this anthology. Adonis and Dominic are definitely my favorites. They had just enough crazy and possessiveness to kept me engrossed int their stories. The other two stories aren’t bad, they just ain’t dom and Adonis.

I LOVED THEM ALL ❤️

I LOVED HOW EACH STORIES CHARACTERS WERE SOMEHOW CONNECTED. EACH OF THESE STORIES KEPT MY ATTENTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, BUT THIS LAST TWO STORIES WERE MY FAVES. I LOVED THE WAY THEY FLOWED TOGETHER. THE EDITING WAS SO MUCH BETTER.

DREU, BLAZE AND NOVA ALL HAD SOMEONE IN THEIR LIVES WARNING THEM ABOUT THE COMPANY THEY KEEP. AND THEY ALL HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY😔.

ADONIS & DREU🤎. SHE WAS TRYING TO KEEP BUSY AFTER LEARNING HER BOYFRIEND HAD COMMUNITY🍆🙄. HE DID WHATEVER HE COULD TO ENSURE SHE KNEW HE WAS PURSUING HER. HE GOT HER LIL FEISTY SELF TOGETHER, AND SHE TAKES HIS WHORISH WAYS. UNEXPECTED JEALOUSY ALMOST TOOK HER OUT. IN THE END THEY GOT THEIR HEA❤️‍🔥. I WOULDN’T MIND READING THEIR STORY.

PHARAOH & BAYLEA🤎. THESE TWO COLLEGE WERE JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY NEEDED TO GRADUATE. HE’S THE STAR FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO FEEL HARD FOR THE NERD WHO NEVER MEET A MAN THAT HAD HER "LADY PARTS TINGLING" HER WORDS NOT MINE 🤣. THEY WERE TWO CUTE TOGETHER. THEM A MISUNDERSTANDING ALMOST RUINED THEM. I WOULD LOVE TO READ MORE ON THIS COUPLE🔥

DOM & BLAZE🤎. FACED WITH A 20 YEAR JAIL SENTENCE DOM MAKES A DECISION THAT CHANGES HIS AND BLAZE’S LIFE. HE FINDS OUT FIVE YEARS LATER JUST HOW MUCH. NOW HE’S OUT ON A TECHNICALITY AND REALIZES HE’S GONNA HAVE TO WORK EXTRA HARD TO GET HIS GIRL BACK. THEN AN INVITE TO A PARTY PUTS THEM IN THE SAME ROOM AND SECRETS ARE REVEALED, LINES ARE CROSSED, AND ISH GOES LEFT RIGHT WHEN HE THINKS HE’S WON HIS FAMILY BACK. NOT I WANTED TO EFF HER UP FOR THAT EFF ISH SHE PULLED THAT ALMOST COST HER DEARLY🤬. IN THE END DOM MADE SURE HE BROUGHT THE NEW YEAR IN WITH HIS LIL FAMILY + ONE ON THE WAY🥰.


CURTIS AND GEMMA DONE EFFED WITH THE WRONG SISTERS.

ZERO & NOVA🤎. THESE TWO MEET IN THE MOST UNCONVENTIONAL WAY. HE LITERALLY SAVED HER LIFE AND THEN HIS SOUL LATCHED ON TO HERS AND WOULDN’T LET GO. THAT BIH GEMMA WAS THE FIRST KIND OF SNAKE AND I CHEERED NOVA ON WHEN SHE BEAT THE BREAKS OF THAT BIH🤷🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣. ZERO WAS JUST A GENTLE GIANTS WHEN IT CAME TO NOVA. THE WAY HE PROTECTED HER, CATERED TO HER, WENT ABOVE AND BEINGS TO ENSURE THAT SHE WAS WELL FED AND THOROUGHLY🍆 DOWN AS LONG AS SHE’D LET HIM HAVE HER. I NEED MORE OF THEM THO 🫶🏽.

IT WAS ALSO GREAT CATCHING UP WITH THE REST OF THE CREW AND THE WEDDING AT THE END WAS AN ADDED BONUS❤️‍🔥

I’M SO LOOKING FORWARD TO READING DALLAS & GALAXY STORY🥰

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This anthology was great from beginning to end. I enjoyed all the authors stories they was all so good. Tank was so funny. Adonis was the better man for Dreu even though she gave him a hard time at first. Kaylee and Leyla was two hating jealous envious hoes that got what they deserved! Baylea was such a punk ass geek, that was very green to things, maybe if she had got out more she wouldn't be that way. I was glad when she finally gave Pharaoh a chance with the help of her roommate, but she kept doing stupid shit to mess it up, she was smart but dumb ass hell. Pharaoh was the popular dude that stay to himself. I'm glad he gave his father a second chance and him and Baylea made it work out at the end. Blaze and Dominic’s story was good. I didn't like how Dominic did Blaze in the beginning, that was very coward of him but I'm glad they could come together at the end for there daughter and make it work. Tez was so dumb. Gramma wrong for doing Nova like that, and she deserved that beating from Nova. Zero was crazy, and I was glad when him and Nova started to develop a relationship. I'm glad Nova finally got some REAL FRIENDS that had her back. Lord Nova was too green to the streets. I hope Galaxy & Dallas get a story. I hope some of these stories get to be a spin-off.

*swoons*

I loved Dreu and Adonis story. Tank is funny as idk what. I need more form this couple. The way they came together was everything. I also need Dreu mom to step in and be the Michael’s lawyer.
Omg!! My heart hurt for Pharaoh when Baylea told him it was a bet 😩😩. You almost gave me a heart attack at that Christmas game 🥴. I loved Pharaoh and Baylea story ☺️.
Wheww chile, this party scene Giselle through 🤧🤧😳. You had me scared for a second with blaze dumb self(in that moment) when she gave them those edibles smh I didn’t know what to expect close that ending but it all worked out. I need Nicarlo and Soleil’s Story.

I love a good collab!

This idea was dope-4 interconnected novellas by 4 different authors. My favorite story of course was written by Elle Kayson, she just gets it done every time! The only story I didn’t favor was the second one-the storyline was very choppy and it felt rushed at moments. But for these 4 authors to incorporate the main characters throughout the entire storyline was no small feat. It was executed well. Spice level ranged from 3-4/5 between the 4 stories. I enjoyed reading and I’m excited for the next series and to read about Dallas and Galaxy’s story.

Overall... 4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Story by Jas B. - 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Story by Tava - 3.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐
Story by Elle Kayson - 4.5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐
Story by Aubrey J. - 4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don't usually read anthologies and only ended up reading it because I needed to read this before another Aubrey J book but I am glad I did! All four stories were enjoyable enough to be satisfied with the ending but still make you wish there was more (if that makes sense 😂)

This anthology was a great read. I enjoyed all of the tales and will be checking all of these authors out. I was so excited to see Elle Kayson’s name on the cover as I have been a fan of hers for years. She did not disappoint not one bit and I’m hoping to see more of her this year. She has been missed in the literary world.

Wow

I just gained 4 new book bae’s. Omg these books were so good and well written. Each author took their time to make you love and wanna smack a character. These characters kept up the crazy and just outright funny. I loved how each story flowed with the next one. I just loved it. You ladies did a wonderful job.

AMAZING READ

I love a good anthology and this did not disappoint, i was introduced to some new authors and i can’t wait o explore more of their work. Of course in every anthology you have your favorite couple. Blaze and Dominic was that for me… I felt all the love and the heat and laughed my heart out. I definitely need more of these characters and more from these authors.

Great read

Three of the four books were great. The second book with Pharoah was poorly written and had major editing errors. The sentences were choppy and the dialogue was amateurish. The last book with Zero and Nova had plenty of action and romance. I can’t wait to read the next book.

amazing

I loved each story line, and how each led to the other. I was not ready for this book to end. Each story had their own battles. But the love they had for each other, they were able to overcome. I’m ready for more
