Real MF G's: The Garnet Mafia Book Three

Rate this book
Nine years ago, a lingering tragedy had stricken the Garnet family; Queen Sequoia was murdered in broad daylight, and it’s still fresh in the eyes of the five sons she left

Juice, the heavyweight champ.
Chief, the country club CEO.
Dalvin, the mining CEO.
Nucca, the erudite tech mogul.
And Hood, the baby brother who serves as their eyes and ears in the streets.

Amongst her sons, Sequoia left a

King Sosa, an arrogant tyrant who everyone believes is the culprit behind her death.

It all seemed trivial whenever she’d warn them how communication and understanding would salvage their bond as father and sons, yet for nine years now, the gap between them has grown beyond repair.

Sosa is overly focused on using them as pawns to secure the Underground monopoly, while his heirs are trying to live and lead their lives beyond the scope of his thumb, now trapped in a web of newfound love. And in the shadows, their enemies are watching it all play out, patiently waiting on the perfect opportunity to slaughter their crumpling throne.

Will their opps prevail? Will love blind the soldiers that Sosa can’t reign without? In the first half of this epic two-part finale, the Garnets begin to connect the pieces to a decade-long was Sequoia’s death a curse on their family, or was it premeditated?

*This is a two-part finale!*

I'm confused

Soooo am I the only one confused? What happened to Nucca and Daija’s story. The last thing I read about was her being kidnapped. I enjoyed reading about the brothers and the mom, but I'm lost.

Foremost, I just wanna say… I’m lovin the series!!! I’ll definitely be tapping into this author’s other works while waiting on the finale book. I only encountered one hiccup while reading through this series, though. Where is Chief’s daughter? Didn’t he have a kid..???? Im so stuck on this, lol. Nobody has mentioned it past Mama and Papa Garnet’s POVs…. Or am I tripping 🤷🏾‍♀️😂

My answers to the end questions

I think in a way it is his fault. I believe it had a lot to do with him. Cause he was in it first. Nobody knew it was for his wife but him. He knew she wasn't listening I feel he should've called her when he knew she would've been up to get the kids off to school to remind her. He is just so mad and jealous of his boys. Sequoia stood up to him time and time again to him about how he was treating her boys. His mama never did that for him. She probably did at one point but got beat so bad she just started keeping quiet. Yep he mad cause she was more of a mother to his wife than him. More of a mother to his kids. Okay so yes I believe Nez deserves Dalvin and he deserves her. They compliment each other in a lot of ways. They are so much alike and have some things in common like fucked up parents. And yes them brothers are just like Nunca when it comes to love. I love Nucca he ain't just laid back and love sick but the right kind of crazy. He don't care who you are and ain't playing no games. Don't give two fucks about the consequences cause at the end of the day he large and in charge so he gone do whatever he want. Sosa can't stop nothing. He thinks he is playing close attention to them men but he not. I can't wait to see what they got in store for his mad ass.

OMG

I truly am in Love with these 5 brothers ❤️
This book was everything and couldn't put it down. This series is definitely A MUST READ 📚 . I truly loved the bond each brother had with their mom. She was their everything and Sosa as well. My heart broke when she got killed. I just need Sosa to open up to his son. He is doing exactly what his father did to him.
My heart broke again when Big Momma passed away. I know Nucca hate he couldn't be there for the funeral, but he did it to himself. He should have just left that trifling heifer. I still love me some Nucca I just need him to do better with his choices in women.
Now, I hate that Cheif is in this arrangement with Kayden. I wish they would just end it.
I like Terry for him. Now I Love Deeby for Nez. She needed someone to speak life in to her and tell her the truth. I don't like her family at all. Especially her mother and sister. They are always bringing up her weight and talking down on her. It was wonderful to see her stand up for herself and Deeby. Now I am glad she finally saw those so-called friends were not for her. Dior is true friend to her.
I am glad Chief started seeking therapy. Now the rest need to.
I can't wait for the next book ❤️
I am so excited 😊

I feel like these books are out of order

Ok, so let me start off by saying this series had you girl in a choke hold for two days!! Read all three books in two days. I NEVER thought Sosa killed his wife, I always thought his father did for revenge. Still think that. Being a Sagittarius myself, I understand how Nez thinks, but she is very spoiled and very green so she don't know how to handle a real person in her life. Everyone in her life has used her insecurities against her her whole life, she don't know the difference. We are big hearted, loyal people until we have had enough, she just hasn't reached her bottom yet. I can't remember the other questions but I did want to answer those two. Now how much longer until the new book comes out cause you got me feenin!!

LOVED THIS BOOK !!

Wow I literally have no words, this book was AMAZING. I actually felt bad for Sosa when Quoia died, but then he just made me mad again with him pulling away from the boys. Chief & Terry are twin flames its hilarious. T & Deeby are so cute & I really can’t wait for the day T puts her family in their place. I can’t wait to read more about Hood & Ju & Nucca. I can’t wait for Ginara to get what’s coming to her cause she played unnecessary games for no reason. I was soooo excited for this book and it did not disappoint !!!! I can’t wait to read more about the Garnets

It was a lot going on so keep up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
Please note there is a cliffhanger at the end.

I like the character development in this series along with the spice so much. Some of the times lines within the story aren’t as easy to follow unless and not due to most of the story being preset to Nucca exile. I believe the story would’ve have been easier to follow if the brother had their own books and the prelude book could’ve been Sosa and Sequoia story.

I would lowkey recommend people start with this book first before reading the other for a better reading experience. 💖

Real G's

Definitely have more understanding of Nucca exile. More understanding of the intriguing parts their mother and father play in their growing up. But how they are more like Sosa than they all think. But they Momma was jack of all trades. When I think of Sosa and Seqouia I hear Beyonce "on the run" Taking her out was a chess move that has crippled and strengthened them.
Just need all ladies brought into the fold to be equipped in theirs world. Because the women play a major part.

Ooh Weee!!! BDE Everywhere

The 3rd installment was everything. I know readers are hating on Sosa, but I see him different now. The pain he's gone through, especially losing Quoia was just too much and has made his feelings become stone. Nucca is still Bae, but I'm loving Chief and Dalvin. The Garnet Men got that BDE in droves. I love Terry and I like Nez, but Nez gone have to separate herself from her family and so called friends. Dion is a true friend to her and I love it. I can't wait until the finale. Great Job TaugJaye!!!!!!

Another One thank you!!

This book this book!

Listen I been a fan and will forever been one. This book was good from the beginning to the end! Now I can say that this book made me look at Sosa differently, I understand the anger and low key bitterness a lot more so, I’ll jump off the Sosa hate train FOR NOW. I really loved everything about this book except who you killed cause you know that tore me up I’ll never get over that.

I can’t wait for the next one congrats Taugjaye!!!

Absolutely loving these brothers, felt like this should have been book 1 because it gave us more indepth about their mother and big mama as well as bringing the men's love interest into play. I love the way the men love on their women and not take any crap from others nor disrespect for them or the women. Now I need to know when Sosa gonna tell the his other sons that he was the one to kidnap Nucca and his lady I know it's gonna be good. I don't think Sosa had his wife killed but she was killed because of him and the way he seemed justice for her death wow

This is the series I have been needing

I just found out about the authors work and started with this series. Man this is what I have been needing. It seems like lately all I have been reading is the same rinse and repeat stories (no shade to anyone). This series though has me excited! Sis can write you hear me! Loved seeing black complex characters. It was so freaking good. I can’t wait for part 2. Now I have to go back and read the other books that tie into this series m. Thank you so much for giving me what I needed.

🔥🔥🔥

Sosa wasn’t as bad as I thought I wish he would have opened up 2his sons when he had the chance.he didn’t kill his wife he just feels guilty.its definitely both there’s a method and he is mad. 3 Nez and Dalvin are so adorable together and she does deserve him.4 I think them getting to the bottom of they feelings ain’t gone do nothing but make them stronger and they can call nucca a lover boy all they want but it’s definitely all of them they seen Sosa love sequoia right

Wait a minute! Where's the Finale??

The Garnet family is so powerful in business, but they love hard when they fall. Even Sosa with his surly self. Kayden ran me hot with her dirty leg tail. I thought Chief was wrong, but she deserves how he treats her. Dior is ME 🤣 I love how she rides for her bestie. T is the perfect match for Dalvin. I'm ready for the finale cuz I got questions that need answers Taugjaye!

Worth the Wait

My dang heart broke for Quioa man. You messed me up foreal. It’s kinda cringe but I understand the arrangement; I love Chief and Terry🥰. Nezland was making me upset but I understand her situation too. I need to go back and read pregame because I think something was about to happen but not sure. Part two me please!!!

We need book 4

This book was good in went into depth about how the other books started. I kinda understood big Sosa more in this book. He mean well but he got his own logic for shit his upbringing playing a big part in how he treats his boys. His ginger snap was his sane half. When deeby said SOSA cried and prayed for God to take him instead i cried real tears

Good read from beginning to end loved the insight on all the characters. Them brothers talk about Nucca but they just like him. Love Dalvin and Nez relationship just hope her family don’t destroy it. Glad Nez realized Amari and Xuri wasn’t really her friends but so glad she got Dior. Kayden gets on my last nerve along with Sosa. Good read Suthor TaughJaye.

Taugjaye needn't be slept on!!!!!!

Dem Garnet Kings are everything. I cannot pick a favorite couple but Terry and Chief got the slight edge. I am ready for the next installment. I had to stop at 81% when I realized a cliffhanger was coming up. It was way too much that needed to be covered. I stayed up all night to finish this up. It was lit from start to finish.

Loved it

I loved how the Garnet men took what they liked and did not care what their fathers thought. I don't think that Sosa killed his wife, I think it was one of the other hating families. But as smart as them brothers and father is, they are going to find out a cause all type of problems.

Good series

I don’t think Sosa killed his wife but the way everyone dropped the ball with her driving that whip was suspect. All the Garnetts are lover boys and they get it from their father. Sosa needs to break for his sons to be free about the love they are unsure he has. I think the grandchildren will soften Nima little more. Can’t wait till the next book drops.

I was a little confused by this one. I feel like books 2 and 3 should have come before Nucca’s story. This book went into how each brother met their love interest but I could have done without those details. I really enjoyed book 2. I wish we could have picked up on the preset story immediately after being introduced to the rest of the family.

🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤔

I’m more confused now then ever!!!! I’m still lost because I’m starting to think she didn’t die! Like she was kidnapped but the story is if she was killed so Sosa can start acting like his Paw. Imma keep the rest of my theories until the end

I’m excited to get back to where Nucca and Daiga got taken. Nez’s family is horrible and on top of that her friends were as well. She had no refuge! I was so glad when she stood up for herself!! So eager for next installment!
