Christmas In The Projexs

Rate this book
“I ain’t just from the hood. I am the hood.”Projex

May the hood never change us. Only mold us. Act as a guide to navigate us to exactly where we’re supposed to be in life. In love.

To the places we’ve called home, friends we gathered on the way and cherished some enough to become family. Head bows to the real ones we’ve lost. Not everyone makes it out, but you can make it.

Those L’s really meant lessons. We’ve learned them. Loved through them. Leveled up from them. Gained an understanding of them.

To the hood… thank you, with love.
Merry Christmas!

This was a nice update. Loved the growth in L Boogie & Projex as a couple because they really almost stressed me out. My fav part was Projex decorating Ms. Linette’s headstone for Christmas. I almost cried like Loriana 😭

Some details were inconsistent from the other books but it didn’t take away from anything for me. I’m still curious about Mhy. We NEED her books!

The Perfect Ending 4.25-4.5⭐️

My heart is so full! Projex and Lo had so much growth through these books. I shed some tears and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.

Side note:Idk if I’m tripping or not but I though Lo’s brother name was Ethan but then they started referring to him as Nathan in this book. Unless there’s 2 brothers.

Anyways slight spoiler: I was very salty that we didn’t get a proposal or wedding scene in the book. Like I really looked forward to that and they just popped up married😭 but I’m still happy for them!

BriAnn is definitely THAT GIRL in this book world. I can’t wait to dig more into her catalog.

Ugh!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️ This was EVERYTHING! Projex was everything! The way he loved and provided for Loriana was so amazing to read about. Grandpa Joe set an amazing example because you’d never know Projex’ father was absent from his life the way he cared for Loriana and the other women in his life. He did that with his entire chest. Loriana and Projex deserved this happiness and I smiled the entire time reading about them in this final book. I mean!!!!!!!!🤧🤧

Loriana went though so much in this series. My girl had me crying in several occasions. Despite everything that could have knocked her down she came out triumphant. Her growth was amazing to witness.

Projex…. If getting it out the mud was a person!! He went through it but never folded on those who rode for him. He had plenty of opportunities to turn his heart cold but he chose to love those who loved him even harder. He was determined to accomplish everything he set out for… AND DID!

Projex and Loriana were the true definition of love conquering all. I really felt connected to them throughout their highs and lows because they were so relatable and the storyline was realistic as well. This is definitely in my top series favorite!

Myhale!!!! What are you doing Chile!! I can’t wait until your book is released. Smh…. 😣🫣

Bravo Briann!!

PROJEXS AND L BOOGIE ❤

This was a refreshing read that I thoroughly enjoyed. What better way to catch up on the characters you love than with a Christmas edition. Projexs and Loriana have been through quite some things in the past but to read how good life has become for them is great along with a new addition to the family. I loved how the author threw in bits of the characters from Trappin Through The Snow and can't wait for what's next in that series. But overall I loved this book especially a book with character updates.

Projex!!

Now this was a book I didn’t know I needed until I seen it! I absolutely adore Projex and L-Boogie. This year was my first time reading work from BriAnn and Projex instantly became a favorite of mine. Just seeing their growth from teenagers to parents and newlyweds warms my heart. I could never get enough of them.

A nice chance to see how my favorite guy was doing. Projex and L Boogie finally got their HEA. Projex should be cloned and used as fairy dust to sprinkle over other men in books. I love this couple and especially Brashon.

Projexs has always been the one. You can definitely tell he's in love Loriana and family they've created together. He's already trying to make another baby.

I’m so so sad that that series is finalized. Seeing the development of this couple in love and building a family was everything. I also loved seeing Parish still being the hothead he is lol. Also seeing how Projex grew in maturity is something so beautiful. That man grew up from the love that Loriana shared with him. I hope they had the 3 she owed him lol

Brown Girl Book Geek Review 📚

This was such a perfect ending to such a great story. I will forever love Projex and L-Boogie. To see their growth as both individuals and partners from book 1 to book 4 was magical. I didn't know what to expect in anticipation of this series coming to an end, however the holiday touch was perfect. There's just something about the that time of the year that makes things that much sweeter. Looking forward to rereading this series from beginning to end. BriAnn, you did that!

Love Triumphs

I needed this closure for Projex and L-Boogie. Sigh Idk if I'm ready to let them go.

This book highlighted Projex and Lori's growth as a couple, as a family. If you needed more reasons to love Projex he definitely gives you more to love in this book. The way he doted on Lori is everything. His attentiveness, his loyalty, and unwavering love shine bright. Not just for Lori either, but for his sweet niece and he stays down for his family as well. He is well out the streets, but still does not play about his family at all. There is no hesitation to demand respect for Lori.
He made time to be there when it counts and stepped into his role as a father willingly...easily before the baby was born. He is a chameleon and I loved how he morphed into a slang talking, taking no prisoner boss when needed.

Lori was so emotional. As she embraced motherhood it was all so surreal for her. You could tell she was glowing from being well loved and feeling safe.

We got to see growth from the rest of the fam as well. I'm beyond intrigued by the love triangle of Miyhale, Naaz, and Jasheer. Nyree and Juice seem well in there way to something beautiful. I look forward to their stories.

Projex and L-Boogie left a mark on me. I enjoyed the entire series.

I loved reading about this crew! Lorianne and Projex weathered the storm and made it. The friendships and their relationships where beautiful.

The first book was so lit and true friendships where shown and not so true friendships showed their face. The ending took my breath away when she found her mom deceased.

Book two was Lorianne mourning the loss of her mom. The second part was her trying to figure out life without her mother. Projex trying to figure out if he was going to jail or not. When she broke up with him while in jail, my heart went out to him. She continued to hold him down by making sure his songs where being heard. She made sure Laurent had his lyrics. So technically, she didn’t leave him hanging. She was there but not how he wanted her.

Book three was the two finding themselves back to each other. The baby shower scene was hilarious. She knew she led Symir on, but he played himself when they were not in a relationship. I didn’t understand the Reign situation until he said I got my lick back. He wanted her to feel the same pain he did. I’m glad they made it through.

I loved that book 4 gave us closure and to see they are married and she had a healthy pregnancy.

My heart 🥺💙💙💙

Wow wow wow!!! This was everything I needed 😭😭😍😍😍 I’m so in love with these characters. The type of Man Bryshon is makes you wish he was real. I mean come onnn.💍

His growth throughout this series was everything. The success didn’t take away from him being a humble beast. He’s not to be disrespected (no one around him will be). He make sure his family is good. His heart is made of pure love. I can go on and on about Bryshon.

Lo,
She’s been through SO MUCH. She’s so deserving of all the love she’s getting. She lost her mom at such a young age and now she’s becoming one. She will be so amazing to baby Brox 🥺🙌🏽

Mhy Mhy is going to stress me completely out Omg!!!! Whew that study is going to be something I can’t wait.

I was sooooo happy to see the twins & Kam have a cameo.

I love that BLESSINGS are raining down on Shantel and her children. She deserves that🤍

100/10 Recommended on SAG 💙💙💙💙💙

BriAnn

I definitely enjoyed reading Projexx and Loriana's story. They were both young and had experienced the pain of losing family members while navigating the ups and downs that life throws at you. Despite the challenges, they stayed strong and remained committed to each other. Loriana always knew where home was, which added a beautiful layer to their relationship.

And can we talk about the added characters? Oh my goodness! I am so intrigued by Myhale and Naaz. Their dynamic was filled with some toxic elements that really captured my attention. I love a bit of drama, and their storyline has me wanting to know more about what unfolds. Overall, this book was a captivating read, and I can’t wait to see where the journey takes all of these characters next!

Christmas In The Projexs (From The Hood With Love Book 4)

I really enjoyed the finale of Projexs and Loriana’s love story. Their chemistry, bond, and growth were captivating from the very beginning, and seeing how everything played out in the end felt so well-deserved. I wouldn’t have wanted this book to go any other way.

The way they moved for each other and for their family was everything. That’s how love is supposed to look—no half-stepping, just being all in. And they were all in every single time.

I absolutely love this book and the entire series. I’m glad I got to experience their journey and close it out with this final chapter. I hope there’s more to come from them in the future, but if not, I’m satisfied. They did what they needed to do.

Now I hope that we get a little more detail about Mhyle and Naaz and Jasheer in they books because Mhy be doing alot girl make up your mind! lol

But overall, I loved this series!

The Projexs

Man these two have been my favorite for awhile now. I love to read about them because L-Boogie is a queen in her own right but with Projex by her side mama off the charts. He brings out something different in her as well as her in him. I love their love because it gives hope. Now I can't wait to read Myhale's story cause baby got a dilemma on her hands and The Priest brothers can't wait to get more of them ❤❤❤

Finished all 4

Whew! I read all 4 bioks and Projex and L-Boogy waa ine for the books with their roller-coaster love. It was beautiful to watch them grow up from teenagers' pain and all. At one point, I didn't see them making it, and looking back, it is still a wonder that they did. Excellent read! Now, if I can only figure out what the hell is wring with My-my now, that chick got on my nerves! But I loved all the other family members.

Projex

After reading book 3 I was okay but not satisfied I believe this book was the missing piece you cant end a book with a couple being pregnant and not give an update on the baby.

Also Briann Danae gave hints and even advertised other characters stories just for me to come along reading the book years later and still no story maybe she changed her mind but I wish she didnt leave so many unsettling pieces with Mhyale and I really wanted a story abiut NY and Juice

Absolutely loved it!

Projex and L-Boogie shows what real love is all about. His love for her has no limits and he will stop at nothing to keep her and his family safe. This book was well written, flowed well, kept my attention and the character development was awesome. It was so good to get an update on this couple and welcome baby Bronx.

Beautiful

Projex was everything to Loriana, well they were to each other! Enjoyed reading about true love and commitment in a story. Disagreements handled with maturity! Friendships were real and a little family dysfunction didn't hurt what Projex and Loriana had going on. Loved it!

One of my fav’s

I finished “From The Hood With Love” a while ago and I was soooo sad when it ended. I kept wondering and hoping there was gonna be another book because I loved the first 3 sooooo much, and look at God here is book number 4. It was absolutely amazing just like the rest. You will NOT be disappointed in this read.🥺🙌🏾
