Rate this book
**Previously Released September 30, 2019** When it rains, it pours. The King brothers get the shock of their lives when they find out their mother, Angel, has been taken into custody by Abigail’s father in exchange for his daughter’s safe return. Then, Angel is hit with another blow when she finds out the truth regarding her sons’ sister, Sevin. Will the family be able to withstand their storm, or will the Kingdom finally crumble? Tre and Asteria have an amazing chemistry that they’ve both been ignoring. However, Tre finds himself becoming extremely territorial of her. Acting off emotions, he made a move that might have placed Asteria’s life in danger. When an obsessed ex-boyfriend decides she still belongs to him, will Tre get the chance to confess his love to her, or will it all be snatched from him? Deuce has been burdened with his family’s problems long enough. With his relationship finally on track with Raven, he decides she’ll be his main focus—allowing his brothers and father to handle their own issues. His main goal is to prove to Raven that he’s all in, and she’s safe with him. Once an opportunity to show her just that, falls into his lap, he wastes no time acting on it. Will Raven accept his love, or will her past hurt finally push him away? Silesia and Ace can’t seem to get past their issues. When Silesia decides her best option is to move on, Ace reluctantly agrees, knowing he has to let her go. However, she’s holding on to a secret that could change their dynamics... for better or worse. Once Ace finds out, will he come running as usual, or will the betrayal cause him to walk away for good? Saint and Lovely thought that their worries were over. Unfortunately, Lovely is having doubts about them being in the clear, especially since things don’t seem right to her. Will Saint take heed to her words, or will he ignore the signs until it’s too late? With all the drama surrounding the King men and their relationships, there is a chance that everyone won’t make it to a happily ever after. Find out if these four women are strong enough to handle trusting their love with Cartel Kings.

Great Read

Great way to end a great series. Nothing but drama and more drama throughout this whole series. So glad that Abby father finally got exactly what he deserved as well as Dillon, money hungry behind. Really enjoyed the way everything came together and unfolded. Loved that all the couples got their happy ending and then some. As well as Angel and Big Ace everlasting love. The girls trusting their lotto a King definitely paid off. Job well done Antoinette Sherell.

Loved it

Well I wasn't disappointed by this story at all. I enjoyed every second of it. The king brothers were everything. As for my girls they may have had their hiccups with their men at first but I was happy to see how things ended. Everyone got what they deserved and I am praying for a spin-off.

The explosive Finale

This five-star read came out the gate swinging with these different Sister’s of the heart meeting Blood brothers it showed how you can be so strong but still be broken and how you can love but don’t know how to be loved!!

Let’s get this started with Lovely and Saint who thinks he’s in the clear because he then killed Abby but that’s only the start of the chaos with his Mom being arrested and Star being missing. They only thing Saint is sure of is that he is determined to love Lovely and protect his family by any means necessary. What he doesn’t count on is Abby’s Father holding something he thought died with Abby. Will Saint get what he has worked for or will it all be in vain.

Deuce and Raven have been all sunshine and Roses until Dillian tries to kill her and now Deuce is stuck to her like glue, but Raven’s job is up in the air because jealously is at an all time high. Will Deuce show her that he is all she needs and any dream she dreams he has her in all ways? Will Raven show Deuce she has his back and he doesn’t have to carry the burden of being the sensible one all by himself. All they know is that their love runs deep but will it run through them or over them when Raven decides to Trust her love with a Cartel King?

Ace and Mocha, she has been running so long she doesn’t know how to stop. She doesn’t trust the love Ace has to give because she has never trusted her love to anyone but her Sister’s she’s scared to open herself to receive what he has to give thinking like a man has put her in a position that she doesn’t want to be in She loves Ace but what has love ever given her? Besides her Sisters who has ever loved her? She’s so used to being strong that letting go for Ace makes her push away what she wants to pull close. Will Silesia finally trust her Love to a Cartel King, or will she settle?

Ace has never had to work for a woman a day in his life so the feelings he has for Mocha has him confused and thinking maybe he moved to quickly and that he needs to step back but the thought of seeing her with another man makes his heart hurt which leads him to letting his dk lead him which pushes her even further away. But once Ace realizes that what the heart wants the heart wants but has he waited to late? As always dealing with Silesia and Ace secrets always fall out but will this secret pull them together or make them fall completely apart.

Star denying her feelings for Tre has lead her into a situation that she’s not sure she will get out of and now here she lies tied to a bed hoping that she and her child lives especially to tell Tre she’s ready to Trust her love to a Cartel King . Tre is coming apart at the seams after seeing Star tied to a bed, he knows that the only person that can have her is Coby and once he gets her back, he and Star are going to work through The whole other Baby Momma thing because he only wants Star and his Kids. Will Tre get to tell Star how he feels, or has he lost his chance to give her the love of a Cartel King?

Will Big Ace and Angel make it? Will Big Ace remind Angel that he is the King of all Kings? No other man Will give her the love of a Cartel King or is Angel done from having to deal with the arrest to the secrets? Will Sevin come into the fold or will she continue to flit around the outskirts of the King Cartel this and more questions are answered in the explosive finale of Trusting my love with a Cartel King.

........... just....no.

I like their mother Angel, I just wish she had more discernment when it came to reading people. It really bothered me that she couldn't see through Abigails bullsh*t. But, I did like her character & I love how much her sons respected her.

Smdh at Big Ace. Why was it so hard to be real about Sevin. He should've know that chicken was going to come home to roost eventually.

I hated these couples.

There was nothing profound that brought these couples together.

All of the connections between the couples were based off of sex.

This dude Tre being so nick picky & judgemental when it came to looks annoyed the h*ll out of me. I didn't like that the only reason why he wanted to change his hoe-ish ways is because Asteria was pregnant.

Deuce is such a hypocrite. He called Raven out for spazzing on Dillan & beating her up for being in his face, but he was about to shoot up a hotel party because Raven was talking to Stack. Not saying he was wrong but, glass houses bro.

Silesia & Ace were the worst out of the couples for me. It would've been OV for Ace the second he put his hands on me. There wouldn't be nothing Ace could've said to convince me to change my mind. The fact that Silesia was still feeling him after that put me off of both of them immediately.

Not to mention, the speech he gave her. He basically said, " The dude you talking to now is better than me & I know he can make you happy. I don't want that. I want you to be happy with me. Just wait for me to get all of the hoeing out of my system, & then I'll be all yours. " & she actually fell for that sh*t. Ain't no way.

Lovely & Saint would've been tolerable if Lovely didn't basically allow herself to be an official side chick until Saint killed his fiance. Don't get me wrong. Abigail needed to go, but, cheating on her & justifying it before the blackmail started gave me the ick!

I did like how Lovely put Angel in her place. She needed it.

I dnf'd at 56% of the book because I saw an HEA happening for all of them. I didn't want to read that sh*t.

I gave two stars for the drama. Up until a certain point, it was a page-turner.

Aww this finale was so good and on point!

This finale was truly the bomb. It was very on point and very good. All of the couples got their happily ever after while we were introduced to a new set of couple, S & S you guys are a trip.
Ace and Selisia were probably the most pathetic couple ever. On one hand Selisia was getting on my last nerves of not knowing what she wanted while Ace had grown up a lot, but what was cute was how this time it was the woman that went and did the whole dramatic stopping the other from flying out while professing their undying love... it was cute and all.
Deuce and Raven were the cutest and the most stable couple with Raven finally coming out of her shell and Deuce staying bae all the way.
Tre and Asteria were the realest and more relatable couple with Tre and his dependency and Asteria with her insecurities. With all of the baby momma and all other trials still beat the odds and came out on top.
Saint and Lovely were the most boring and most erased couple out of the story. They ended up falling through the cracks and was completely forgotten. Need to say that I was so routing for them and was so hoping and wishing that they were the ones to get that fairytale where boy meets girl, they have a huge romance, then a huge wedding and then the babies because these two deserved it with Lovely’s past and Saint’s situation but this was not the author’s wish or desire, soooo we were left with the best people having to have the worst story. Oh well!
Big Ace and Angel were just thought or occupation fillers for the couples because they were so not needed.
Now every other person got what they deserved especially Dillan, Rion, Paul and Coby, epic!
An extremely great story!👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was good

Saint and Lovely, loved them. Perfect match. Saint turned out to be the most ruthless brother.

Asteria and Tre, cute. I loved Tre, he was everything Alpha. I love how he ain’t care about her bratty ways, he still told her like it was and got her together.

Salesia and Ace, I didn’t like Salesia. Ace told her straight up from day 1 how he was and he even tried to change for her, but she expected him to chase her. Ace didn’t hold his tongue and he told it like it is. I couldn’t dislike Ace because he told her who he was. Ace ain’t chase her and I loved that he wasn’t that possessive guy that snapped when she tried to move on. Hell no, he let her go be happy. When she saw he ain’t chase. When she saw he was letting her be happy instead of chasing her, she got her act together quick. Girl please. That’s a man who has women who want him. Ace was my favorite brother.

Deuce and Raven. I have to admit I did not like Raven at first because she was pitiful but she did a 360 out of nowhere. Anyway, she got her man and Deuce was serious about her too. I loved all the brothers. I loved that they all were smart and didn’t kiss ass.

These women were expecting them to trip about them. Let’s be real. These are brothers with money who can have any woman they want. But expected them to kiss up to yall. I think this was a true depiction of how men of their stature would to act towards women. But they fell hard and still ain’t kiss ass.

Everyone got their happy ending in this story and I’m glad.

I do feel like Saint and Lovely’s story was rushed in the end but at least it all worked out.
Raven and Deuce started off as the couple to watch but they weee kinda boring in this book. Star and Tre and Silesia and Ace were the couples I enjoyed the most in this one.
I’m glad Silesia got it together in the end and got her man back. Star almost pissed me off without she was about to let Tre slip through her fingers but I understood why she was acting the way she was. The made a big deal about looks and hers had changed but he loved her for real.

I wonder if there’s a book about Stacks and Sevin bc there is definitely something going on with them that I wanna get into.

The series as a whole was 4⭐️

WOW, OMG, EVERYTHING

I don't have how I missed this series the first time it came out, but Baby I'm I glad it came back out. This storyline had you afraid to continue to read because you couldn't guess what was going to happen next. You feel sorry for Abby but she had so much darn sense that she was dumb, they have always said you can't make a man want you or stay. Lovely had the most common sense of them all and she was the one that was locked up. I loved the relationship between the girls and couples once they were able to get it together. This series touched on alot of issues and was well worth reading. Great job Antoinette Sherell 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Great Read!

Wow! I can't even say I'm speechless! I didn't think that none of the sister relationships would work out. They where all untrusted. So happy that they all figured it out and then they all ended up with babies that's the kind of happy ending I'm happy to see or rather read about. I knew Dillian wasn't going to last long after she gave birth to that baby she did too much and the desperation was real. But overall I was hooked from book one to book three. I hope we can have a recap of everybody lives after the twins had they twins, Ace and Mocha moving, Trey and Star. I wonder if stacks and 7 never got it together great read!

Dope book

Once again you delivered the fire 🔥. I must say for a moment I thought Abigail was gonna come back from the dead. I knew her father was on some vengeance type of mess. I didn’t expect her momma to be so caring and look past the signs with saint but thank god for it. Dillan got what she deserved so did Abigail and her pops. Happy big Ace and Angel got back on good terms and everything worked out for everyone and they got they happy ending. Sevin needs to stop playing and give stack a chance.

I loved the entire series!

I couldn't put it down or stop reading it. Anything from Antoinette is always a great read for me. She has become one of my faves. and I would definitely recommend this series or anything she puts her name on. Sevin and Stack spinoff would be good for the future! IJS!

Great conclusion

After all the trials and tribulations, I’m glad everyone got their HEA. Saint and Lovely were my favorite, they were just the right amount of crazy. Raven abs Deuce were the old boring couple, lol, but it worked for them. Star and Tre were so dramatic, but very entertaining. Ace and Mocha were the toxic couple. I’m glad it worked out for everyone.

Good Read

I enjoyed the series. It was pretty good. However I didn't like the fact that Ace killed Dillan. Why couldn't he get her beat up or something. Dillan's baby was sick still in the hospital. He needed his mother. I felt bad about that part. Other than that the book was good. I enjoyed it..

Amazing series!!

This is one of my new faves! This series was really good. You could feel the love through the books. The story came full circle. I hope to see a spin off with Sevin and Sparks or at least a Christmas novella the gives us a glimpse into the future. Great read

We got hood love

Loved this series ! Although my heart is with the Royal/Hearts/Smith saga I wouldn’t mind a continuing series like theirs. I loved every moment. I’m listening to Trey Songz and Mary J Blidge - Hood love and started thinking about these couples.

Happy feelings!!

When you find a hood dude it can be bitter and oh so sweet. The love these ladies received was a blessing. Coming from motherless and fatherless lives can be hard to believe in love. This was a great read.

Good series

I enjoyed this series. I like how everything was wrapped up. It was just the right amount of drama and action. Star was really getting on my nerves but she redeemed herself. My only issue were the errors. They took away from the story a bit.

This book answers all the questions you have about the couples, expect if the other couples for married. It would be nice to have a wedding special with Silesha, and Lovely.
