Southern Kings #1-4
Southern Kings:
Yetti, Hayes, and Keys sibling love and loyalty. Their circle is tight, and no one comes before family.
After surviving a traumatic childhood, all three brothers are left a little unstable, with hearts of stone. It drives them to succeed in the streets, but creates a void where matters of the heart are concerned. Together, they run an empire that has allotted them money, respect and power, which of course fuels tensions and has enemies lurking in the shadows. Either way, they stand tall and they stand together.
Yetti especially was dealing with some serious demons, one of which was forced by his mother choosing his life over hers. His past has made him unwilling to open up, and his motto in life has basically been hit and run as far as women were concerned. Their only benefit to him was to satisfy his needs. No connection, no emotional commitments until he meets the one woman who can turn his life and his heart upside down.
Keys is set in his ways and enjoying life by his own terms. His status has placed him in the position to have just about any woman he sets his sights on until he runs across Asha. Their first encounter was one for the records. She took control and forced him to play by her rules This only fueled Keys’ curiosity and had him chasing her for more.
Hayes is the baby of the family and seems to have it all together, with a long term girlfriend and beautiful baby girl, you’d think life should be perfect, however new struggles seem to be finding the two of them daily.
The streets aren’t kind when it comes to matters of the heart and defending your empire. Hopefully they will all find their way out with their hearts intact.

Best book
I love every thing about this series. The masters are a fiery set of brothers that didn't back down from no one. I think it was told the best way possible for this book. The women changed them for the better.

The three brothers were complicated and flawed. It was a lot to unpack with them because they were crazy AF in their own way.
Yetti to me is the craziest brother. He’s always in his head and not friendly, but I liked his solumness. When he loves he will go hard. He did some crazy stuff that had me cracking up Lordt. He experienced trauma at a young age and it continued to still mess with him. Reelle was one sensitive individual and she needs a thick skin to handle Yetti. Her parents were a piece of work for real for real.
Hayes also battled demons and is madly in love with with his high school sweetheart, but happens when your high school bae feels stifled and needs her own identity thinking that she’s too involved with you? Rah was somewhat confused. She had everything, but had her trifling sister attempt to break up her home. Rah was very naive about her sister and just try to see the good in everyone.
Keys is the oldest, and he protected his two brothers with his life at a young age. He also battling demons. I loved how the brothers are so close. The brothers had it rough growing up and this shaped the way they think and handled situations. It stifled that emotional side of them so when these ladies came into their lives it was an adjustment for Keys and Yetti. They survived but if still messed their mental. Asha was annoying AF and just extra with everything.
Their dad was a monster and it’s sad how their mom stayed with him and didn’t get out because of the kids. I wanted to see how their dad Lewis was handled for real.
Again loved all three brothers because they all bring something to the table and were different in their own way.

Twisted Brothers
Per! I enjoyed Yetti, Reelle, Keys, Asha, Hayse, and Rah's journey.
They faced some tough situations, but they had each other's backs.
Asha came off a bit thirsty in the beginning, but Sis just knew her worth and what she wanted. She played the game and got her man... and Keys got her in the end. Lol!
Yetti was nuts! He was damaged and simply lacked empathy. It was almost like his head, heart, and mouth were on three different vibrations. He was trying HARD to Do and Be better. Luckily for him cause while it took a minute, Reelle spoke his language..
All that empathy, he lacked was right there all along! "Teach me how to love" 🎵🎵🎵
Baby, Hayes was the biggest enigma of them all. He had no love for the streets w/ the exception of his two brothers, His lady and daughter. While his older brothers had no use for women outside of sex in their lives. He carved out his own piece of heaven just for him, in Rah and his daughter since they were jits!
Now, this is not a love story. These brothers were ruthless and deadly. It was funny to see them being loved and handled by the women in their lives.

The Are Some Royal Moments
Well now that I have gotten to the end of the series I can give an honest review. Throughout this series I was impressed with the chemistry between the characters, but especially with the brothers. The relationship between the brothers came.off has natural and it was just great to get a feel of genuine friendship and love. Now the girls had to kinda grow on me,because some of the whining and complaining was getting a little old. Also at times Asha was just a little bit too independent and judgemental. There was however one part of this story I couldn't agree with and that was how the situation with Nic ,I mean as women we should have been more understanding and helpful. Also if no one could understand ,Rah should have.I also think we missed out on enjoying a little bit of Asha and Keys dealing with pregnancy. Overall this not only enjoyr,but it was entertaining and eye opening.

Family over everything
The Masters brothers and the women who loved them. I loved how close the brothers were. It was always them against the world, I loved how they had each other’s backs and didn’t let anyone get in between their bond. Ree and Asha were the perfect duo to handle the brothers and I love how they welcomed Rah into their friend bond. Great story! I’m glad everyone got their HEA.

So good
This was good because it had layers...I do mean lots of layers...
Darkness, hurt, domestically damaged and the list goes on...unloyal siblings and unforgiving parents.
The flow and pace moved well and made sense for all the characters that the book has and the moments make sense and add to layer has we slowly see the transformation of the characters. Great book Bae moments too. Just a really good read and I am happy that this release was all the books in 1

Good Characters
I liked the characters and story plot. The first 1/3 had a few mix up with the brothers names. But since each brother had their our personality, I knew who they were talking about. There were other simple editing errors. But it didn't take away from understanding and enjoying the plot and characters!

I liked this. Putting it all in one made me feel like I was reading this for years 😂😂 I’m a little disappointed there was no resolution with Reelle’s parents. I hate that her mom acted like that but it is what it is. Story wrapped up real cute. Glad you got your books back boo ❤️

The book was okay , kind of drawn out really . But for the most part it was decent . Seems like all the books I read so far from k.c , the men are super angry . It’s the same type of storyline details when it comes to his characters .

Good Read
This series was good and entertaining! The only drawback was the amount of grammatical errors throughout the book. Don’t let that stop you from getting to know these characters tho!

Good book and loved all the characters especially Hayes & Keys. However I felt like the book was a bit repetitive and dragged on a bit. Would have been better if something really drastic happened and it didn’t work out for all of them.

Great couples
Loved this series but the spelling errors is the only problems. Three couples deep in love and going through all the ups and downs that their past and family put in their way. A must read

Master brothers
This was an interesting story. These brothers were no jokes, and the women who put up with their craziness. There were quite a few grammatical errors, but it was still an interesting read.

Those Masters Brothers
I love a good K.C. Mills book! And when you got several books together…watch out. These brothers were a mess literally. Their upbringing damaged them but the love of three beautiful, strong ladies help change them and they wouldn’t it any other way!

Awesomeness
Loved this book and the characters were off the chain. They went from being rude, ruthless & cut throat. To loving, caring, family men. Plenty of twist & turns. You will not put this book down.
