**THIS IS A RE-RELEASE**

Rising above adversity has never been an issue for Kingston Wells. He’s faced some difficult times and still finds the strength to stand strong. With a younger brother and grandmother to look after, the last thing on his mind was love. From the moment his eyes land on Tiffany, he’s drawn to her in a way that can only be described as divine. Once it is settled into Kingston’s heart that Tiffany was his future, going after her was just the beginning.

Tiffany Summers is no stranger to men with strong personalities. Her brothers, Grey and Blu, taught her to be a fierce protector of her own heart. Locking eyes with Kingston shouldn’t have been so soul stirring. Yet, it was. Kingston doesn’t give actual “good guy” vibes, prompting Tiffany to do anything she can to avoid him.

Kingston’s determination to have Tiffany is too powerful for her to ignore.

Tiffany’s decision to give him a chance could be the opening for her heart to be broken.

Overall, these two have one thing in family over everything. When situations arise, will they find themselves fighting for each other? Or will their loyalty to the motto have them turning their backs on each other and true love?

3.5 ⭐️

Kingston Wells instantly claimed Sapphire “Tiffany” Summers aka the future Mrs. Wells. He played no games about claiming his woman, and he even stood up against the infamous Grey and Blu Summers about their baby sister. Tiffany sure did make him work for her time and her heart, but she did succumb to his charm, laughter, and pressure. It was fun getting to experience one of the baby Summers get their HEA. This was an emotional read, too. Loved Granny Lily! August was working a nerve, but Kingston loved him unconditionally. Nate Wells deserves everything he gets. Also, I would have liked more of Faith’s story and to have seen Jericho love on her throughout her pregnancy. 🖤

4.5⭐️ Tiffany you go girl strong mind and willed. Took no mess off of Kingston. What would you expect from Grey and Blu’s sister.

They supported each other through lost and trauma. Nate was a bum and no good. How could he do that to his sons. He was just crazy and selfish.

Swoon worthy

There is nothing not to love about Kingston and Tiffany's journey. The way he was caught up at 1st sight was super sweet.... Kingston was all gas and no brakes with his love for Tiffany. Tiffany was loyal and independent and kind and smart everything that you're looking for in a main character. He knew what to say to her and he knew exactly how to handle her brothers. The sex was good the dialog was good the plot was good everything about this book was fantastic I enjoyed ITIT has ended up being my favorite 1 of these series that I have read so far And it has a HEA. This is a good read!

This book was perfect. One thing M.Monique knows how to is write a man cuz babyy the way I love me some Kingston. He said “ if you tryna be Mrs.Wells just say that” I love every minute of this. Even tho some people didn’t wanna see them win I’m so glad they got their happy ending. This gave me everything I needed. Definitely Recommend. I can’t wait to read of August come up.

Kingston and Tiffany

I liked this book it was a cute story between Tiffany and Kingston. I will say Blu and Grey had me cracking up this whole book being your typical big brothers lol. I will say Blu’s book is still my favorite but this was a good read too. Hopefully Augusts book is good too because he definitely has a lot of redeeming to do.

4.5 ⭐ (Wanted A 5 Star So Bad!)

The Third Act Conflict Was So Stupid, But I Digress.

Now I Knew Tiffany's Boss Was A Sleazeball. Bloody Perverted.

Nate? Accountability Is Chasing Him But He Is Faster, Entitled Prick. In That Case, Triple The Amount Of Years He Has To Spend Locked Up.

Kingston? YES MA'AM. 10/10 Notes.

August? Deep Heavy Sigh.

KINGSTON! *swoons*

Kingston is a family man taking care of his elderly grandmother Lily and his unruly younger brother August. While taking care and looking out for his family, he is a DEA agent and somewhat of a workaholic. One day he takes his brother August to class and he spots Tiffany and immediately he is drawn to her. Tiffany is smart, focused and dedicated to her career goals. Once she crosses paths with Kingston, she immediately rejects him. Kingston doesn't give up and is determined to have her.

Okay I thought Blu was the one (he still is though😏) but Kingston brought it straight out the gate! I loved how he was unafraid to claim her and especially in front of her crazy overprotective brothers! That screams BDE and then some🥵. I loved the bond Kingston and Tiffany shared. Their love language was acts of service and it was so beautiful to see them love on each other. Tiffany was such a pure soul. She was so thoughtful, kind and caring. She's my new fave FMC. The way she loves on her family and those she cares about is everything.

This story was a real page turner. I couldn’t put it down. We were introduced to Tiffany in Uncovering Love in book 1 and I had to catch up with her! This book made me shed some tears (you've been warned lol) It was so well written, you could feel the raw and real emotions of the characters. Excited to catch up with these 2 in book 4!

Kingston Wells is a young DEA agent, trying to excel in his work while looking out for his brother and elderly grandmother and dealing with a complicated history with his incarcerated father. Dropping his brother off to class, he runs right into Tiffany Summers, and knows he wants her. But her first instinct is to resist. Tiffany has no time for games and with brothers like Grey and Blu she's doubtful anyone can apply the pressure she needs without being intimidated by them. But Kingston is different, and he doesn't give up easily.

I love me a young hothead with a slick ass mouth and Kingston gave me goosebumps. He was on ten the entire book--serious about his desire for Tiffany, and about showing her he wouldn't back down when it came to getting her. Their relationship was so passionate and sweet. I giggled the entire time. I loved the way they bantered and eased into their comfort with each other. I love that Tiffany was so open, so optimistic even with all her caution. The Summers family and Kingston's grandmother as supporting cast was thought out and wonderful, even in the tense moments. It was overdone or overly dramatic, there was good balance there. August's subplot hit hard enough to give Kingston the layers his character needed as older brother, and you felt the emotion of what happened to their family. The drama with Tiffany's boss caught me as a tiny bit dramatic, but I got it and wasn't lost. And it introduced Dallas and Houston (I'm looking for them next, lol). It was a great story and I was fully engaged, and in love with their love.

Loyalty, Honor, Respect, and Love

Kingston had to step up and step in as the man of his family. After the death of his mother his grandmother raised him and his younger brother because his dad was gone with no hope of returning.
He did what he needed to do to stay on the right side of the law and became the law. His heart was missing its forever home until his eyes found Tiffany.
Tiffany was a strong willed, intelligent, and independent young woman. She was on the path to figuring out her future career. She came from a family with men who were extremely unhinged when it came to the women in their families. So much so, they intimidated any man who would attempt to date her. She knew she’d have to be with a savage who was just as unhinged as them if she ever wanted to be in love. Kingston pulled her card.
Their love story blossomed over time and embodied loyalty, honor, respect and love plus throw in perseverance because they went through some stuff. Let’s not forget August who needed to grow the hell up! Life definitely taught him a lesson. The love and support of family was also a major factor in their lives and it was beautiful to see.
This was a great read!

Kingston & Tiffany ..if ya nasty its Sapphire 😜

Now Kingston even though younger, held his own!!
Taking care of his younger brother, August and his elderly grandmother. While also dealing with the loss of his mother and his father being in jail.
That can be a lot on someone at one time but Kingston done what he needed to do with no complaints.

Im glad he stood up to his father because he was definitely trying to manipulate him due to his poor decisions . Because he couldn’t get to Kingston, he went & got in August ear. And that caused friction between August and Kingston. But Kingston still showed up for his brother in multiple ways.

Now when he went toe to toe with Grey … he moved up the list!! I wasn’t expecting that at all but Im glad they both were able to make amends with each other for the sake of Tiffany.

Kingston and Tiffany definitely had some trials in their relationship but their love for each other was chefs kiss. Even if that meant going to jail behind his woman 👏🏽 Kingston fought for his woman physically and emotionally!!!

not my fave

This was my least favorite of the series so far. I didn’t particularly care for either main character. Tiffany was very presumptuous.Why did Tiffany suspect Kingston was a drug dealer? Assumed the worst about his expensive taste. In the other books, the guys wanted a woman who didn’t complain about their work life but Tiffany did exactly that. She was definitely a brat. I don’t know. Kingston was kind of mean, specifically to August. I think August was supposed to come off as this rebellious kid, but that just wasn’t there for me on page. He definitely had some growing up to do though. We did get to see some of things King bottled up inside. Hated the third act break up. There also wasn’t any suspense in this book but I will say the book got better as it progressed and had a few plot twists I didn’t see coming. I also felt like important scenes were glossed over.

A few grammatical errors. Faith said she was having a boy, then the next sentence Kingston said his niece or nephew.

KINGSTON WELLS

Whew, he LOOKS like he can break the law—but baby, he is the LAW. 👮🏾‍♂️🔥
Honey, M. Monique knows how to deliver romantic suspense like no other. The whole time I felt like I was watching a high-action cop movie with a love story woven in.

Princess Sapphire… girl, you know you’re THAT girl. Let this man love you the way a princess deserves. 👑✨

The kitchen fight with Blu and King? Had me laughing so hard, I had to pause. And Chris with his freaky wife Anissa—IKYL 🤬😡.

Vicki, sis, jealousy is not your color. 😒

But what really touched me were the friendships and sisterhood throughout. Faith & Tiffany’s bond warmed my heart, and the way Gianna and Jacoba held Tiffany down was just beautiful. 🥰

I loved every second of this book! Kingston is THAT man, and this series just keeps getting better and better. Every time he said, “If you ready to be Mrs. Wells, just say that,” I was over here blushing ☺️☺️😊.

And August… I already know you’re about to stress me out. Sir, what are you thinking?! 😩

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had to sit with this one for a minute because the way that this book frustrated me so bad! Not because of Tiffany & Kingston, but Kingston’s brother, August & his father!. I wanted to jump through the pages & strangle them both myself. I know that book 4 is August’s redemption story but I might need to take a minute before I read it, because I’m so pissed at him. He reminds me of Capella from the Delgatos. Just being dumb for no reason.

One of my favorite things about M. Monique is her ability to draw you into a story with the way that she writes her characters. You love them, and you hate them. I’m not a fan of instalove really but I loved Kingston & Tiffany’s relationship, he was funny and they had good banter. The Summers family remains a favorite in how they show care & concern for each other & I appreciated Kingston not allowing her brothers to bully him away (they were all so funny together).

This one wasn’t as suspenseful as the first two but still a good ride.

I liked this one!

4.1

I disagree with some of the reviews saying this was the weakest story of the three books! I actually thought it was better than Blu’s story - which seemed so odd and far fetched to me. This book flowed well.

HOWEVER, the writting in this book is way to similar to the others. There’s a sure lack of diversity in writing. All the characters (male leads) are cookie cutter and the exact same. They are all: tall, sexy, rich, with a grill and ice, will kill anyone, endless money and huge penises. I mean cool, but I would love for writers to give some normalcy to be a regular man. All the aforementioned are okay traits, buts those are the only things that make men great.

I think I’m needing a bit of a break from romance books in general and this series. I heard there’s a book for August - but if Monique makes him smell good, tall and can beat anyone’s tail with a big penis - I’ll die.

Loyalty. Respect. Honor. Love

Now, I have finally read about everyone and I loved this read. Kingston and August had been hit terribly with two losses, one parent gone and the other to prison. Kingston and Granny Lily had done the best they could with making sure August didn’t want for anything while also giving him all the love they had. Tiffany had been spoiled her whole life but had never had a relationship before. Honey, meeting King stirred something up in her soul. I loved the way he loved her and how he wasn’t giving up on them.

Whew…… losing granny broke my heart and I couldn’t believe August was doing all those things behind their back, all in the name of Nate smh. Nate was a true piece of trash and I hope his days behind those bars bring true anguish. The ending was perfect and I love how the families blended. Amazing job ❤️

Ok.ok..okkkk Kingston Wells stood on big business from day one. He proved he was the best fit for Tiffany although she really worked my nerves by dumping him based on the implications of someone who was clearly jealous of their situation. I was glad that Tiffany finally had genuine friendships outside of the family with Faith and granny. I really appreciated how King loved on his grandmother, Tiffany, and his brother August . I was so glad to see King stand his ground with Grey and Blu, he never allowed them to intimidate him. Yes, he was very confident and sure of himself and that's exactly what Tiffany needed a man that was confident enough to go blow for blow with her brothers but also protect her in the same way. Hands down a really good storyline..I think this might be my favorite..sorry Blu

Least Favorite but…

Still good. Kingston was an amazing man. Tiffany was dramatic. I understand why Jacoba and Gianna would have had doubts swirling with dating in their books. Tiffany nope, the only thing was she said her brothers were in the way. The thing with Chris, I think she was dramatic and I only say that because you got out the house before anything can happen. Only because it was mentioned, but holding out on your man and the reason being because the Chris thingy. Girl! Ain’t nothing happen!! Her whole thing with the girl even after Kingston call the girl in her face. I just wanted Kingston to say eff it, she doing too much. But he didn’t. I’m only happy for the sake of Kingston’s hea. If she was what was going to get him that. Then so be it. But she was definitely annoying me.

King and Tiff

I held off on reading Kingston for a LONG time because like Blu and Grey—I didn’t want to see her grow up. I finally broke down and read it and was pleasantly surprised. Kingston was just the type of man she needed and I loved that for her. I’m glad that throughout the storms that they held on to one another and got their HEA. Now that said…BLU is still my man. King and Grey are okay, but it was just something about the silent giant that got me. I think I may go read his story again.

Oh and poor August was in a state of limbo trying to cling to the only parents he had left even if it meant him no good. He def has some growing up to do and def some therapy. I can’t wait to read his story and I can tell Faith has one too.

That man, that man, that man...

First and foremost, Kingston was everything. The love and protectiveness he had for his family only goes to show how big his heart was. When he met Tiffany he saw his other half and tried to do everything in his power to always see her happy.
Tiffany had some things to overcome and perhaps wasn't really ready for the type of love Kingsron wanted to hive her but my girl got with the program quickly!

She saw how this man would go to war with her and for her all in thr name of love. When a situation happens that shakes the foundation of that love, they both take steps that may or may not be in their best interest.

Will they find each other in the darkness? Gotta read the book to find out!

Another great read! Loved every bit of it!

Wow Kingston loved Tiffany from the first time she walked past him at school picking up his Bro August! The love they found and cherished was so beautiful. Violet tried it but failed and was a bitter jump off! Nate was a sorry excuse for a father and poor August was just a pawn until realization of who Nate really was dawned on him, but would he ever gain back Faith??? Granny loved her family so much and in the end she left her boys and Tiffany with such a firm foundation to carry on in life. I love The Summer's family, they are the definition of always having one another's back. This series is so good, glad I discovered it and Monique M! Can't wait to read August' story, I know it's going to be another great read!

Tiffany and Kingston was the perfect insta love. I loved how King did not play about his princess and he was truly himself from day 1. I felt like Tiffany was a bit immature still. Regardless of her innocence, she was a little naive lol. I also was not feeling the drama in the storyline though. I felt like it could’ve been exhausted way better. I felt the plot in Uncovering Love and Blu was way better. Other than the plot, the chemistry and how much Tiffany and Kingston was down for each other was it for me. Kingston being an amazing MMC saved this book. My man was gone and it just made me smile everytime. August was seriously pissing me off. I needed some tough love and I felt like they were wayyyyy too soft on him. I don’t like him but ima see if he redeems himself in his book.

How do each book get better

How does each book in this series get better and better? Now I’m in love with Kingston! I’m so glad that my girl, Tiffany, got such a wonderful man! She deserves it! The loyalty, respect, attention, appreciation, friendship and love Kingston showed to her is unwavering and I love it for her! Kingston is a man’s man and F his weak a$$, manipulating sperm donor. He didn’t know nor appreciate the woman he had in Kingston’s mom nor his sons! Very immature man child! August tail is a spoiled brat that needs to grow THE hell up already! Hopefully, the situation he got himself into taught him the lesson he needed!

Kingston +Tiffany

We love a man in uniform oh yes we do. This story was well written and put together. I loved Kingston and Tiffany's love story so much it was beautiful. I love the character cameos as well makes the story come together. RIP to Granny she was my favourite character I really hated to see her go and I cried.
As for August he had little to no character development but I still see room for his redemption. He treated Faith terribly and Nate's influence on him was strong. As a parent you should always encourage your child to do what's right but Nate did the exact opposite I can see why Granny hated him so much.
Overall this was a great read. Kudos.

King and Tiffany

Listen one thing about Tiffany is she has a army behind her. Blu and Grey don’t play about their baby sister. I loved how Kingston didn’t let Tiffany go after he saw her again on his brother’s college campus. When they had a little rollercoaster moment them 2 still stayed loyal to each other. Kingston came through for Tiffany when it came to the situation with her boss AND he really walked her through that unfortunate sad time. I was happy Tiff’s brother’s started to come around to liking Kingston. Kingston and Tiff’s love story was a wonderful story to read!

Kingston by M. Monique What can I say about this book, other than the fact that Kingston is just that…. A KING‼️ this man is so beautiful in every way, when he loves he loves hard, and when he is serious about those he loves by protecting them he does that just as hard, this man knows what he wants and he doesn’t let anyone stand in his way, the drama is this book is thick, but it’s definitely worth the read. I laughed, got mad, I definitely cried (IYKYK) this book had me all in my feelings, highly recommend it, 5Stars! 🙌🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️this Series is so good and I can’t wait to read about August…. Let’s get it ‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book at first but I liked reading Tiff and Kingston story. From getting to know her from the first two books it was good to get to know her in her own book. Tiff was trying to ignore Kingston at first but he was not letting up, he knew what he wanted and wasn’t letting up. Seeing how he cared for his family was beautiful. I loved his granny, she was such a sweet woman and wanted nothing but the best for Kingston and August. Tiff found her person and I loved how she treated Kingston as much as he did and took care of her she did the same and spoiled him with love and affection. She really changed him for the better.
