Lost in A Hitta's Love: An Urban Love Story
Legacy Royal is a rich, hood youngin’ who is just enjoying his carefree life doing as he pleases. He’s a ladies man and has his lineup of young girls who he uses for one thing or another... and then he has his best friend, Liberty. From the moment he met her at the tender age of six, Legacy knew he wanted to love and protect her at all cost—that included from any dude he felt wasn’t worthy of her. To him, she came before anyone or anything, and he could never see that changing. Unfortunately, when an unexpected opportunity lands in his lap, he has to leave the one girl he couldn’t see himself living without.
Liberty Heart is your typical girl next door—cute, quiet, and, unknowingly, wanted. She’s focused on school, and the only other thing that has her attention is her best friend, Legacy. The moment she met him, they formed an instant bond, and she made him a permanent fixture in her life. However, when he up and leaves her without so much as a goodbye, she has to learn to live without him. Devastated at what she felt was betrayal, she uses her anger to block out the existence of her once best friend... until he’s back and shaking up her world as she knew it.
Legacy reappears older and wiser—wise enough to know he’s not into playing best friend games with Liberty anymore. However, knowing his track record, Liberty is skeptical about what he’s offering. So, what happens when two best friends can’t seem to meet at the lover mark? Lies, drama, heartbreak and everything in between.

This book was good from beginning to end. Full of drama, action and so many twist and turns that I couldn't put it down. Enjoyed how Legacy and Liberty have grown up and she feeling each other while trying to remain best friends. Now, he just needs to get himself together and stop all his mess, before he losing her for good. He's doing way to much and hope he gets it right. Can't wait to see what happens with these characters, so on to the next installment. Good job Antoinette Sherell.

3.7 ⭐️’s
This book was so close a 4 star read for me.
It started rocky in my opinion cause like yeah the beginning of Sem & Legacy friendship did very much give he wanted to fu**k & that didn’t sit well with me. It wasn’t giving friendship until much later & even then it was like some weird too friendly ish.
The back & forth is getting tiring. This is the second series I’m reading from this author & I automatically get the same thing I got from her couples from the last set of books in this set of books. & ion like that. It’s like I’m reading the same book just with different names.
I would like for once to get a set of couples that know exactly what they want & they choose each other the first time around rather then all this back & forth. Like liberty & legacy want each other so be together?? Sem & Phil want each other so be together??? Wasting everybody time.
Liberty is something. Legacy said some real ish when she gave up her V card and I agreed with him cause I was real mad that she gave it up to that man just cause of what happened instead of giving it up to somebody she had a real connection too.
Legacy is crazy.
I wanted liberty to be on the same type of timing he was on when he was killing/attacking everybody she was interested in. For once I would like the female characters to be on the same time. I wanted liberty to be like bet, since nobody can have me nobody can have you & every female he decided to talk to she would find them whoop them on sight just how he was doing her male interests.

Mannn Look
This book has me so upset right now smh! I so had such high hopes for Legacy and he let me down big time! I loved him until about half way to 3/4 through the book! I My feelings is so hurt😳! Legacy gets on my nerves. How he gone get mad at her when he been doing him from the gate in her face. Then can’t believe she won’t take him seriously tf! I don’t even blame her for what she did! I don’t like how everyone immediately turned on her taking Legacy side. Not once seeing things from her perspective! Would you expect a tiger to change his stripes lets be all the way real? No you wouldn’t so why should she believe he could be faithful just because it’s her when he had already been disrespectful in her face more than once? I’ll wait! She should have just done like him and tagged everybody he messed with too ! I don’t know he always so quick to say f her and cut her off for long periods! Then come back like everything straight! She can’t live her but he can if he don’t have several seats! Who does he think he is! I can’t with him! I don’t even know if I want to read part 2! I get mad just thinking about this mess all over again! Phenomenal job

Lost in a Hitta's Love
Well damn! Idk what it would take for Sempri and Liberty to learn they weren't dealing with normal dudes. Liberty pissed me off the most because she really thought things would always be the same regardless of how long she played hard to get. Legacy was wrong for how he reacted because he hadn't fully gotten everything out of his system yet but wanted to be mad. I'm not sure how Liberty missed all the signs when it came to the dudes she was dealing with. Sempri couldn't seem to get right and I hated how caught up she was in Phil. Phil's mom messed him up for sure and at some point he needed to get himself together. Just when Liberty and Sempri needed Legacy and Phil they weren't around. It didn't say the end so maybe the situation needed to happen for Legacy and Phil to realize they needed to make things right with Liberty and Sempri before it's too late. #0108

Lost in a Hitta’s Love
I definitely enjoyed this story! It was a bit young for me by way of the characters, but the storytelling by this author was wonderful and there was great character development. Near the end I was beginning to feel like the couples were going around and around which was annoying but they’re freshmen in college so I got it, then I realized there was going to be a cliffhanger and that’s why they couldn’t get it together and normally that wouldn’t bother me but this story was too long for this not to be a full length novel.
Pros: Great Story telling and Character Development
Cons: Too long to have a cliffhanger
I definitely recommend this if you’re into YA Urban Fiction

Loved. This. Book.
I don’t care what anyone has to say about Liberty; smh nope🙅🏽♀️; I loved that she was so true to herself, yes I understand she should’ve gave legacy a chance but you have too understand; at the end of the day it’s how SHE feels not any of her so called friends who didn’t have her back🤷🏽♀️. Idc if she had sex with Thomas he had no right I mean none at all killing that boy. Take you’re lose bro; nobody told you to listen to Phil and get with Egypt just to prove a point...but alll in all I Can’t wait for part 2😍😍... love love love

Legacy is an A$$!!!
I’m not feeling him at all. It’s like he just can’t grow up and understand that games are for kids. I’m not feeling Phil or Sem either for turning on Liberty. She was supposed to just take Legacy at his word when every time she turned around he was disrespecting her with the next chick but blocking her. Maybe if he would have just been straight up with her none of this would have happened. He did this to himself and i hope Liberty be all right and straight do him dirty!!!!

Liberty & Legacy
This was such a good story. I swear Legacy and Liberty had to be the most stubborn two people I ever seen. Legacy went about it all wrong trying to use another chick to get her on the same page. He knew Liberty better then anyone and knew better but choose to listen to Philan and it back fired. Philan and Sempri need to just make it official and cut out the games. I wasn't expecting that ending. I hope it's not to late for them to realize what they have in front of them.

This series had me on the edge of my seat after that ending in the last installment. So glad the way everything turned out for these young adults and they all got their happy ending. Really enjoyed seeing the growth of Legacy and Liberty throughout this series. Great way to end a great series. Legacy really redeemed himself in this book and I loved it. Going to really miss all these characters from this entire series. Job well done Antoinette Sherell.

I love when you get a story that is so good and especially when the writer hits it out the park the first time.Sometimes when young adults are involved there is always a lot.of drama and this story doesn't disappoint,only difference is its the mistakes young people make sometimes when navigating life.I love the chemistry between the characters it is good and the are so relatable.I almost screamed when I realized that I have to wait for the next installment to.see what happens!

Characters too young to really get into…
The author jumped really far from reading, “For The Love of My Savage,” so the characters in this one were just too young to really get into the read. The back and forth was annoying and the way the situation with Legacy getting his job and everyone speaking with loose lips just made it too unbelievable. The ending was entertaining enough but the author takes a bit too long to even want to get back to these. I’d read within the next month but other than that it’s not worth dragging it out.

Page turner
Well isn’t this something! Wasn’t expecting the end to take the turn it did but at least it adds some layers to otherwise a predictable story. The characters are interesting but I am over Liberty. I feel she was created wayyyyyyyyyy to extra and entitled that it’s caused her to have no common sense whatsoever. Legacy even was eventually too over the top for me. But I will definitely read the next part.

Shocking ending
I really loved this book. It reminded me of the friendships I’ve had growing up. There were always the 4 of us with similar situations like in the book. I was super shocked at the end. Please write a part 2!

Wow
I thought Liberty was a brat and very arrogant when it came to Legacy. She to learn the hard way a couple of times. I don't like Legacyyy at all. How you get in your feelings but giving her every reason to feel that way. Sem needs to leave Phil alone too.

I'm annoyed bc it seems Lib and Legacy are never going get together. I know it's about to be some mess in part 2 with Lib getting shot and God only knows what's happening with Sem. Legacy, Plilton and let's not forget Prime and Lib brother's.

This is some b.s.
Wow, so disappointed! Liberty waited that long time to lose her virginity then she didn’t even lose it to Legacy? Really? Such a huge let down. The author could have at least let him be the first then let her sleep with someone else.smh.
