Down With the King of the South #4

Down With the King of the South 4

The love that we have for these characters continues to grow, but sadly, this series must come to an end. After so many heartbreaks, pain, and even some misery, this is a chapter that finally closes. From the very beginning, Jashae has had it bad. One of the hardest things that she has endured was the loss of her son, Vonte. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s battling with Trip and his narcissistic ways and lack of sympathy. We are all rooting for Jashae to get that happily ever after because she deserves it.Then we have Mahogany and Jabari. They just welcomed a beautiful baby girl, and I’m sure the world is wondering how these two are handling parenthood. These are two people who had never even thought about having children. What I can say is that Mahogany is experiencing everything that comes with postpartum depression. Let’s hope that her depression doesn’t lead her into doing something crazy to her or that beautiful baby.Take one last ride with your favorite characters from Down with the king of the South. It's guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and more than likely make you cry again.

Loving a King

Hate to see it end because I enjoyed the whole series. Jashae heart is so pure, I don't think anybody could have done what she did by taking in Maya and keeping her. Miami was BAE from the way he loved and cared for Shae. Jabari and Mahogany were both crazy but I loved their relationship, they were really made for each other. I love the fact that Diamond mentioned Cortez and Winter in this story because it's always nice to have two boss men get along. Great read hate to see it go but I'm so ready for the next series.

Loved This Series

I’m glad everybody had a happy ending even Trip. Glad he got himself together and left Shae alone but Lawd this man keep having kids sheesh. Thank God Mahogany let that guilt go with her parents and they got rid of Kenyatta she was too aggravating. I still don’t trust Jabari momma either she too messy. Dang Krystal cousin threw her life away for a man smh wasn’t even that serious to kill her smh and now he with another woman raising them boys together.

For the love of each other

I love how real this book is because in spite of mahogany being angry with her father she still excepted his help while getting robbed. Jazzy loved so hard and it was unconditional regardless of the situation she still tried. Miami is that dude and Jabari too. This was a great story

Wonderful

This series was awesome. I love the ending especially because everyone was able to get that happy every after. It's sad what happened to Maya mom but at the same time you can't expect to do something and there not be consequences for those actions. This is a must read tho.

Jashae and Miami

This was a cute story. I do feel it could have been 3 books instead of 4. I was hoping Trip got out of jail but im glad he aint thinking suicide anymore and feels like he got a purpose. My heart went out to Maya was hoping they kept her that part really made me sad. ON TO THE NEXT BOOK BY DIAMOND J.

wow…

One of the best books/series I’ve read on overcoming life’s curveballs, getting up when knocked all the way down, the true definition of forgiveness, and selflessness. Powerful series!

Loved every drop

I loved every drop if this series. Usually only the first book has me reading non stop but each book had me. I think Mahogany was my favorite even though she wasn't the main character she had so much flavor.

PHENOMENAL READ

What series. I really enjoyed it. Jashae had me so emotional with what she went through. Miami was the man. Jabari & Mahogany were crazy. Trip was just immature & selfish.

This was a neutral read as well... No big moments... It was not a page Turner but it was enough to keep me reading... I feel like with this series it could have all played out in at the most 2 books... 4 book was a little to much...
After everything that Jashae has been through... I am so glad to see that she finally found the happiness that she deserved... And it is great to see that after the loss of her son she was finally able to come out of the depression that she was in... I am glad that Miami came into her life when he did... Because had it not been for him there is no telling where Jashae would have ended up... Miami had to deal with a lot and well but he did not let it take him down... He was still there for Jashae when she needed him... for a while there I did not think this couple was going to make it... But Miami was determined to make Jashae his woman and make her happy...
As for Mahogany she did a complete 180 on me... I mean she was a confident, feisty little something... but once she got pregnant all of that went out of the window.. she became very insecure and super sensitive... And even after her having the baby it remained the same... I was really over her... Jabari put up with a lot from her... But no matter what he made sure to protect her and be in her corner when she needed him.... These two may have started out pretty rocky... But they have now found their footing and are standing on solid ground...
Now to see what is next on the agenda...

This Author has definitely brought her Pingue..... there's never been a book of hers that I could actually put down the characters slamming..... The storyline Fyahhhhhhh...... you see in every good book you find something unique I definitely felt the pain of losing Vonie... Duntrana that Kindelbrook bitch named Crystal I mean she was a laid-back silly hoe that's just about sum her up..... This SERIES is a Must Read....Diamond Johnson....IS A MUST READ ....AUTHOR.....DEFINITELY..ONE OF MY FAVES...OUT FREAKING STANDING
