She Got It Bad for a Heartless Gangsta: An AK Christmas
The AK's are back for another round, and of course a little drama has returned but with a sprinkle of Christmas spirit. Ricky and Draylah are just as much in love as before, but when little problems pop up, bringing out their inner crazy, will they be able to stick together?
The other couples have returned as well, proving that even though this is the time for cheer and giving, problems will still arise and cause a little bit of dismay. Will these couples who have been through so much be able to pull it together as a family, or will they throw in the towel, letting the dark side of the holidays tear them apart?

Soooo Good
I laughed at every page. Ricky has no filter. I love his and Draylah relationship. They were made for each other. Thank you Shvonne for this book. I can read about them forever. Qamar still get on my damn nerves.

Another good one
I love me some Ricky AK and Draylah with their crazy ass. Lily and the twins are mini Ricky and Draylah. Glad to see that are the couple's are doing their thing. Qamar is straight up crazy, their is no hope for him. Genesis is just stupid as hell. The reason for the 4 stars is because of that scene with Marigold. To me it took away from Ricky and Draylah's character based on the other 4 books. And some what contradicted the other books, because Ricky would let a lesbian give Draylah a tattoo or when he gave Draylah that spa day, he asked everyone he hired if they were into women. Ricky also said that was one of the thing s he loved about Draylah cause she wouldn't tolerate the stuff Tabitha would, which was a scene like the one they had with Marigold. Then their is Draylah she would be the breaks off another female for looking at Ricky. To me that part was unnecessary and I don't understand why the author felt the need to contradict her previous books. Now if that was Qamar and Genesis I would see it, but not Ricky and Draylah.

I just love this group! When I saw a Christmas book about them I had to read it. All I can say it’s read it, it was awesome!

This was so cute and so right...
This was a change from the norm where once a story shows their HEA, we don't get nothing else and we just have to imagine thT it continued being peachy, but this was different and nice for that because we can see how every one had everyday issues going on just like we do...
AK and Drayla are still fighting all of the ladies and even some men being attracted to them and it's nice to see them trying to spice up a little bit.
Bia and Kito is expending and are not doing anything to jeopardize their thing.
Finally Jason understood what Virginia was saying and proved that he definitely want this thing to work and has put in the work that Virginia is asking.
And MG and Kattlyn, well still the cute, cuddly, vanilla couple. I do wish she explained more to MG what this guy did, but it was nice to see him take some actions even though his approach is way different to AK's

Fun read but no real storyline
So this basically was just catching up with the characters. There was no read direction or plot. It says it’s a Christmas edition but it ends without really going into everyone’s Christmas! There was no big finish, nothing to resolve or truly explore for that matter. I was really let down by Qamar’s story and how that just went about like nothing. All the craziness and extraness of the characters didn’t change and it was kind of disappointing in a sense bc now they are adults with kids so they should of been able to calm down just a little more, esp when it came to Draylah and AK with their twins. Anyway, good catch up but could of did without it honestly.

Ricky Ak!!
I took my time with this book. I didn’t want it to end and I stalled after each chapter! Ricky really grew on me and his growth was quite evident from part 1 to now. I love the way he handles things. Draylah was a fave from the beginning. Lue didn’t deserve her and I’m happy she got her happy ending. Qamar remained a POS!! He was my least fav but his story needed to be told. Sadly, those type of men DOES exist. Bia and her dude was too cute and so was Katt and ole boy. This was my first complete series from Shvonne Latrice and I’m happy i stumbled across her work. She’s definitely a author I’ll be following and I’m making my way now to her catalog. 5 stars!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Ricky AK is even more cold and cruel to those who clash with him than ever before. The one-liners will bring tears to you eyes ... " lime-a-rita p***y". At the same time, the interaction with his family meaning Draylah, Frederick, Camellia and Lily is so funny and heartwarming although sometimes shocking.
The entire crew including Qamar is also back and just trying to make it.
An AK Christmas is just the ticket for a look at the family Ricky and Queen AK have built.

My favorite crazy af couples are back and I'm loving it!!
Man I thought Ricky and Draylah were wild but their twins had me cracking at work while reading it. It's said that Qamar still hasn't changed and I feel sorry for Genesis bc she can definitely do way better than him. MG and Kattlyn made it and I have to say they come second as my favorite couple out of the group. I like Kito and Bia too but AK and Draylah are it for me. I enjoyed seeing the growth in most of the characters and learning about their children!! Read it in one night!!

Holiday Season!!
This was a good read about an AK Christmas. It would be funny if Ricky and Draylah have another set of twins that would be hilarious. It seems like everyone was doing extremely well except for Qamar and Genesis. Well Qamar in his eyes was doing great but I can't say the same for Genesis, I felt bad but then again I didn't because she knows what she was getting herself into since the beginning because she knew exactly what type of man Qamar was from jump. Overall good read

GREAT READ
This series had me all over the place.
OMGAWD, Ricky and Draylah talk about a match made in heaven and Hell LMAO, crazy and crazier. Psycho for real... But the REALEST and that's why I loved them.
Qamar, he had me wanting to murk his ass... Low life
Micah, at first I wanted to slap him with a stupid stick but he grew on me...
I love the fact that Katlyn was able to turn her life around...
All in ALL... I LOVED THE CHARACTERS and how their lives complimented one another
Great Series

This was a cute update on all of the couples. Great to see everyone’s relationships and families are prospering…except for Qamar. I was hoping for some kind of karma and suffering when it came to him.
Other than that great to see Ricky and Draylah are only more in love with one another and their children have so much personality. Loved that the ladies elevated so much in each of their individual careers. And loved that there was more growth and maturity when it came to the men (except for Qamar).

YESSS!!!!
Shvonne you never cease to amaze me. This book was so good. I've never laughed so much reading a book. Those kids are just like Ricky...I really hate to see this end. I could go for one more with the new kids from Dray and Bia. I think I really hate Qamar now...I absolutely loved this book. This is most definitely a must read right now. I wish I could give it 10 stars. You out did yourself this time for real....

This book was so really good. I haven't laughed this much about a book in a really long time and I loved it. Hated to see it end. Those kids are so funny... just like Ricky and then some. I already didn't like Qamar and not I really can't. Loved this book and would love to hear about the new kids that's coming and catch up with Lily AK....Hilarious. Highly recommend this book and the entire series. Amazing job Shvonne Latrice.

Great As Always
Never a dull moment with the gang! Glad to see everyone doing well. Glad MG found his inner gangster. If you love your friends, you should want them to end up just like Draylah and her crew.. Happy, in love., financially stable, and still having time for girl's night. Quamar ain't learn shit. Ryckey AK is still the shit. He is forever and always in my top 3 book baes

Okay
This was okay. There wasn't too much going on but if you're a fan of the characters, then this is for you. Ricky and Draylah got some bad kids. I like Lily because she was too funny. I don't know why these females are still fighting over the men. They already married them and got kids. I was feeling bad for Genesis because she's going through too much with Kamar. He hasn't changed at all. What grown man is he a jealous of his own child? It was okay though.

I loved it !!!
I have this book 5 stars because I just love the way you finish off your stories. Drayla showed she is not to be played with, I loved it! I also love how you have the kids in your books and they actually have little personalities, that gets me every time! I would love to see something about the kids being grown, and I know that’s probably a stretch but hey a girl can only dream! This is a READ along with the whole series 💛

Couldn't stop laughing
Omg I enjoyed this so much Draya crazy just like ak. I'm glad this book came up on my feed. It was good seeing how the couples was doing. It was good to see Qamar was still a clown. He has poor gen wrapped around his fingers. That fool was seriously jealous of his own baby.You could tell he was a momma boy. Anyway good read keep up the good work. I highly recommend this book especially if you want to laugh some.

AK Christmas
Let me start by saying I don't understand why was Bia so nasty to Qamar's wife that lady has never done anything to her. Two years later and Qamar is still the bad guy like this author could have let him change. Ricky is still rude and disrespectful 😒 but everyone is OK with it. MG and Frisk are the only two I can rock with. I would like to know a little more about Kito

Ricky is heartless
Oh my this was a great Christmas story. Ricky is hilarious and I love how Drala match his fly. I can’t believe Quamar is still covering his behavior with his illness. The rest of the gang was cool but Bria almost scared me with Tio situation that wasn’t really one. I need more from these characters because they are all hilarious and Quamar must get it together

decent read
Book five was the perfect Christmas edition to the series! It felt like a warm reunion as we caught up with the characters and saw where life has taken them. The holiday vibes added a cozy touch, but there was still plenty of drama and surprises to keep things exciting. I loved seeing how the relationships have grown and how everyone is navigating their new chapters. This was a delightful way to wrap up the year with this series!

Must NOT put down!!!
She Really put on for my city in the books for this one so I had to do it justice and give this a read. Ricky Ak gives a chick that grew up in the heart of Los Angeles so much life. He reminds me of the dudes that grew up with me. I see the growth in Draylah and the girls. I really love your writing style.
