It's hard being the best, but when you are, there’s no point in denying it. Even if you do, people still see it. That’s exactly the case with the Karsen brothers.
They have officially acquired the last major territory in Philly, and they plan to keep the city on lock indefinitely.
Fleet, Cooper, and Yasiin have their hands full with both their illegal and legal businesses, but that doesn’t stop them from living life to the fullest.
Get money, maintain clout, and demand respect is what they live by, and everyone knows it.
A family that hustles hard together, bonds strong together…. or do they?

Good Read‼️
The Karsen brothers were funny af they kept me laughing throughout the book.
I think Fleet was my favorite he’s the youngest but he seemed to be the more mature one. I loved him with April. All he wanted to do was make her happy and make life easier for her. She was hesitant but she went with the flow.
Yasiin was gone after one encounter with Bliss and didn’t plan on stopping his pursuit of her until he had her and he did just that. Bliss didn’t even realize he was saving her from her situation with Gerald while he was living a double life.
Cooper was an amazing father to a child he believed wasn’t his but was his in his heart. Lari was a good look for him and I know he didn’t trust easily because of what Kellie did to him but he opened up to the possibility of love and found that in Lari.
Sad how Kellie went out.
Everybody that crosses this family had to pay.
This was a re-release and should’ve have been edited again but a hood read nonetheless.

My word it is unbelievable that Gerald was intertwined with so many women that were involved with some of the men. This man abused his power and got what he deserved.
Cooper, Siin and Fleet were very close and had each others back. Now all three men were different, but they all had crazy in them.
There were not much about the women personal lives especially Bliss. We have no details on her. Lari we get a glimpse of her mother etc., and that drama. April we found out what happened with her parents and that was it. Tish mom was a piece of work and I would have liked to know what eventually happened with her mom SMH. Her mom was trifling.
The brothers don’t play about their money, business and women and they will go to war to protect them.
There were errors that could have easily been rectified though. They were glaring.

Fire 🔥
The Karsen Brothers are back! This was my favorite series by Ms. Mills and I’m so happy she rereleased this series. Soon as it was out I purchased it and just read it again and still love those Brothers even though they are in the streets they have you rooting for them to win! The ladies fit each of their personalities and give more depth to the story. Definitely a series to read

good series
I love this book!! The Karsen brothers were definitely about that life. The love of a good woman definitely brought out the soft side in these men. The Karsen bros took no L’s. Anytime there was an issue they took care of it ASAP.

Great read I really enjoyed this book
Fleet and his brothers ruled Philly with a iron fist. It was all about money, power, respect, having women at their disposal. Fleet, Cooper ,and Yasini wasn't looking for love. Until they met their match women who demanded respect ,independence, who didn't take their treatment of her. April was strong, educated independent,hardworking, and stubborn, stood up for herself caring person. Lair was smart,classy, stubborn, independent, educated. A teacher would speak her mind and didn't in mess. Bliss was smart, strong, independent, hard-working straight forward , caring wouldn't take any mess, street -smart. Trish was April best friend she was sassy, hard-working, opinionated, smart, real, was family oriented took care of brothers and her lazy mother. Street-smart and was real always tried to stay positive despite her circumstances. Yrell was street-smart respectful and outspoken and was trying to do better. All theses chacters where college educated and that took the a long way.

Definitely Crazy and Hood
This series was originally written/relased back in 2015-2019 and if you are familiar with this authors work, the characters and storyline was very familiar to several of her other storylines/tropes from that time period. The Karsen brothers, Cooper, Yasiin and Fleet come from a powerful family headed by their father. Separately they meet the 3 female leads who are not involved in that lifestyle and are different than any current situations that the brothers are currently involved in. Opposites attract. Drama happens from a variety of sources but is quickly handled. Murders go unchecked because they are above the law and then they all live happily ever after. Obviously this is a very fictional work of fiction but it is an entertaining page turner nonetheless. The epilouge leaves everyone in a good place so you are left feeling like it wasn't time wasted. There are a lot of unedited parts in this one however, so that definitely takes away from the overall experience.

Balled Up Faces
Whew Chillay! There was more faces all balled up, bad attitudes, hostile conversations, power struggles, two-pieces, and shootings in one book than the law should allow!
Thank goodness for growth because if this the first book I'd read by Ms. Mills then it would have been the last. There was just too much ongoing conflict. I don't think not one interaction wasn't filled with some kind of even playful bickering. It made for an exhausting read. And it made it hard to feel real chemistry between any of the couples. I had to skip through several times because it was just tew murch arguing. How you arguing with someone who's trying to take care of you and give you nice things?! Allofum! Each and every couple.
I got through it, but it wasn't easy. I'd say skip this one, but definitely check out the author's more recent books, you won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book!! I am going through this authors catalog and everything is amazing. I especially enjoy stories that do not include a whole Lotta cheating men and fighting. The Karsen brothers were really funny and loved each other as well as their were women. It took them a while to really get settled in the relationships but once they did it was amazing to see. Fleet and April were my favorite couple. Their relationship had such an easy going natural progression. Cooper got on my nerves with Kelli. I hate she ended like that but she was not the one for him. Bliss was just what Siin needed to settle down. She played no games with him😂. This was a great series so I am glad it was re released👍🏾👏🏽👍🏾🎉🎊

Whew…
Great book, loved the brothers and their love and respect for one another. I really enjoyed all of the characters in the book.
Fleet is bae, I love the way he invested in him and April’s relationship from the beginning. I’m glad Coop didn’t allow his heartbreak take away from him opening up to Lari and love again. Siin is the man and he went after exactly what he wanted and that was Bliss. He saved her, and she didn’t even realize she needed to be saved from her relationship. Tish is such a good person with a good heart. She loves her brothers and will do anything to protect them from her mom. Yurell came right in time and loved her the right way!

Hmmm
I don’t know that either of the Karsen brothers were my favorite. Their interpretation on women kind of annoyed me. They all treated women like they were disposable and that women were getting the prize and should be happy to be chosen. Something about the cocky behavior just didn’t sit right with me. A man should make you feel like his one and only not an option for him. All this I ain’t gone commit but you can’t mess with nobody. It got better once they found someone but some of them statements were like ‘boy bye’.

I have read this story many,times and it is still one of my favorites
I absolutely love this story and it is still one of my favorite books that she has written. The characters are larger than life and the women were strong, hardworking, successful, and independent. My only complaint would be is there are slot of typos in this book. That didn't take away from how good the book is and I was throughly entertained and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoy urban fiction with an edge( lol)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am a big fan if Author K.C. Mills. I enjoyed being to read all 3 parts simultaneously. My favorite couple was Fleet and April. After 4 yrs or so of being together their sexual chemistry was still alive. I loved how he catered towards April. I liked how the author made it known that was two sides to the Karen Brothers. I enjoyed Siin and Coop stories as well and their love for Bliss and Lari. Good Read!!

Fleet!!
Fleet, was the man!! It's very rare that you experience a series like this from book 1-3 and each couple is your favorite. I think Fleets character is the hottest, wildest and had my attention from the beginning, each brother equally held his own. This is one of those you have to read it because the reviews will do you no justice without giving away to spoilers. Lil Bryson puts a smile on your face and his truth will as well.

It's Addictive !
This was a well written and thought out series,with a cast of characters that you not only like but can cheer for as well as not agree with everything that they do. The writer gives us a strong group of women, who say they were looking for grown men who were ready for grown women relationships .There is something in this series for everyone to like ,and fuss about. Overall this was an enjoyable way to spend time.

Don’t call it a comeback!
Definitely still one of my favorite series by Ms. Mills!! Love the closeness of the Karsen brothers as well as the way they loved their ladies! Cooper and Sin needed a little extra love, but got it together in the end!
Only thing I’ll say is, I wish with this re-release came a closer look at editing!

Karsen Family
Kellie and Shay should of been happy that Cooper and Siin was taking care of them. The Brother's were all good Men when they found the one they wanted to be with. Fleet was Bae. Siin is sweet. Cooper is the protector. April, Bliss and Lari let them know they don't play.

3.65 good
I will say that I enjoyed this combination book as all 3 in one read...
The book was enjoyable and I loved how April was not a push over. The last section of of the book was a bit dragging the real miss was the lack of editing and it was bad. I know this was a re-release and I wish it would have been edited by the story was still a good read.

Loved it
I loved every page of this well written book. The title describes the story within excellently. The characters, the drama, laughs, love, and happiness. With the love between all of these characters is individual growth. Growth as couple and as a family. This author is definitely one of my favorites and never fails to deliver a five star read.

Never wrong with a KC Mills
Family hood series are so good to read and entertaining. Fleet was a mature man and handled his business with this brothers. I'm glad that their ladies was not dependent on them to provide for them.

Love Those Karsen Men
I love Fleet, Cooper and Yasiin Karsen. This family is nothing to play with. April, Bliss and Lari had these brothers doing whatever needs to be done to keep them happy. This book is just as good as the first time I read it.

This book was okay. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. It had potential to be a lot better. I overall felt like there was no plot lol. There was just one weird guy that tied everybody together and baby mamas. At some point I felt this book was a long winded story. Eh it was just okay for me
