Series Review 
3 out of 5 stars

As an urban fiction snob, I’ve found some comfort in B. Loves Urban fiction titles.

I’ve grown into a somewhat more reformed reader, titles like Pastor’s Side Bish, and Drug Dealer: Part 3 he dies, don’t appeal to the 30-something-year-old me. 

But there is a new crop of urban fiction titles and authors that have taken to better writing and transformed what I remember urban fiction to be.

While there’s still some weeding that needs to be done, I’ve changed my mind on it, just a bit.

B. Love’s UF has given me something to escape to that’s just as appealing as Monday’s episode of Love and Hip Hop whatever city is on at the time. Giving just enough street and drama to please the reader, but not turning those of us off that are kind of over these books. 

Told from multiple points of view, The Bad Boy I love Parts one and two were engaging and good for absent-minded reading. Sometimes you want to snuggle up with a book that entertains you but doesn’t have a lot to it. No thinking is needed. I needed that.

Misery, Chaos, Gunner, Fiona lovingly known as Fe, Isla the model-baddie and the later introduced Genisi, along with its supporting cast of bad girlfriends and irritating baby mama’s the story packed a lot into it.

Though it was a lot of people to follow it never hindered the reading and I was never confused enough to have to backtrack to remember who was who, the flow was effortless and timely.

Love does that she gets you to care about her characters, in a way you don’t expect.

Though her contemporary romances will always be my jam, her urban fiction titles often do what they set out to do—giving us street with backstory, and romance that is almost saucy enough to be rated NSFW.

 The sex scenes are descriptive and spicy, to say the least.

The relationships develop quickly but hold solid in both books. 

They cannot be read separately though, but a two-book series is far more reasonable than some of the thirteen-book series that are out there. Not to mention they’re less than 300-pages a piece, easy reading.

I would recommend starting with this author’s new adult-ish romances first but if your tastes are a little more street, this is a decent place to start.

Drama with realistic conflict, troublesome baby mamas, men on the path to do the right thing, saucy sex, and a semi-happily ever after.

What more can you ask for?
