Must Read

Arrange marriage's, lies, betrayal, and trickery are a few thing's that are going on with these characters. Knight, Bishop, and Rook are going to find out just how scandalous their father is. He don't care about their happiness. He only cares about their partnerships with their illegal dealings and will sell them out if he don't get his way. Knight being the oldest of the brother's has some drama brewing after Blessing pop back up. Blessing coming back has Knight in his feelings because he is still in love with her despite his arranged marriage to Angelina. Knight found out the secret Blessing was hiding. Him making Blessing come back to Chicago after finding out about the babies wasn't the smartest move because for one Knight was married to a mob boss daughter and once the truth came out. Everybody lives would be in danger. Angelina ain't fit to be nobody wife. She's spoiled, lazy, entitled, and conniving. She felt Knight slipping away and let her momma talk her into trapping him. Bishop being the second oldest was still grieving the death of his mother. He's not as thrilled to be in an arranged marriage. I believe he knows that his father is a snake and that is why they stay bumping heads. Lovelie is not the woman Bishop want for himself that is why he had been dragging their engagement. Deja is who Bishop wants but judging from how this ended. Bishop was caught up because Deja had no clue about Lovelie but Lovelie definitely knew about Deja and that's why she set up that surprise engagement party without letting Bishop know. Rook being the youngest is messy, wild and immature. I have a feeling he's about to grow up real fast with the drama that is brewing.

These Grand brothers are dealing with more than a lil bit of drama in their lives. They’ve buried their mother due to an untimely illness no one could foresee and have a whole lot going on outside of that. The eldest son Knight is in an arranged marriage only for appearances sake and that’s all it is. He has love for his wife Angelina but that’s as far as it goes. His first love and best friend Blessing comes back into his life but is hiding a secret that’s gonna upend everyone’s lives in a huge way. Being in this marriage has cost Knight the one person he truly wants but can’t have. When her secret comes out him he’s all in and hands on 100%. His wife Angelina made it clear that she doesn’t want kids and is standing firm on her decision until she happens upon some damaging information. Bishop has never been the soft type always stoic in demeanor and character he happens upon a beautiful young woman while visiting his mother’s gravesite and finds himself unable to stop thinking about her although he’s engaged to someone else. Rook the youngest of the brood is just as hard headed and goofy as they come. He’s always into something and then his brothers have to clean up whatever mess he makes lol. Their father King is all about business no matter how it may affect his sons or their futures as a whole.What happens when these brothers no longer want to be with the women they were promised to out of obligation?

Boy oh Boy

The Grand Brothers done found themselves in so messed up situations. First I want to address King, the supposed leader of the family and their father. What kind of drug is this nicca on? Is he really gonna go against his son and cause harm to his grandsons? Knight done got himself in a sticky situation. After finding out he has twins, even though they were conceived before he was married he went about things the wrong way putting Blessing and his twins in danger. Karma is real so I hope the plan Angelica plotting backfires. Rook just reckless and hard headed. I wonder what's up with him and Golden when his brothers told him to stay away from her. Bishop who is my favorite, done got caught up and he just might lose Dejah for real this time. These men and their arranged marriages gone fk around and start a war trying to protect the ones they really love.❤❤

Great read!

These three brothers here ! Knight, bishop and rook can’t seem to catch a break. With arranged marriages to appease their father’s business partner and having to put up with women they don’t love is tough. I was so happy when knight decided to divorce Angelina but it’s not going to be easy at all with the ties his family has to the Deleons and now with her expecting. I really want Blessing and knight to be that happy family but who knows with the obstacles they’re up against. Then poor Bishop. He shows up to his own engagement party with the woman he loves being the photographer! I can’t wait for part 2! Great read and definitely 10/10!

Good Good Stuff!

This was definitely somewhat a new twist on love and marriage. The gives us three brothers, that are somehow caught in a web of not only their fathers doing but there's as well. I can appreciate the fact that the women are forces in their own right,but still lack the will to cut the apron strings. I also want a little more inner action with the bothers and the women they love.. This ends on a cliffhanger and you are going to scream. But I have to say its the fun in knowing that there's more to the story. Also daddy needs to get himself together, because if you want to be the king,then you got to stand tall.

great book

This book was so good. The arranged marriage’s definitely was stupid of their father King’s part all for the sake of business. Blessing was so wrong from the beginning to hide such a big secret. I never would have thought it was so big. Deja was so sweet, but was not taking anything mess from anyone either not even her family. I wish she had more support. The grant brothers were crazy as I don’t know what. Rook was a comical and the youngest. I don’t know how anyone could ever deal with Bishop and his antisocial self lol. King was definitely in hot water with everything going on. I can’t wait for part 2.

Arrangements Aren't Always Good!

J. Dominique, ok now these folk right here are crazier than what. The Grand Guys really are puppets in a situation that their father created. Unfortunately, the girls that have their hearts may end up in a terrible situation. It's really sad knowing you have to do things to be in a certain realm. King really isn't A true man in my opinion he has lost his whole mind. Will the brothers win in the end? Or will the agreement be upheld? I can't wait to see what happens next.🤗🤗🤗

full of surprises

This series is going to get very interesting. I give part one 5 stars. It kept me on the edge of my seat from chapter one. With Pops going off to the dark side, crazy women, and the wild card Bishop. I’m just ready to see if the guys are going to continue to dance to the best of their own drums or be forced to get in bed with the enemy. Can’t wait to see what happens in book two.

I like the Grand Brothers 🥰

I love a series, and I love thug series. The Grand Brothers there are three Knight, Bishop, and Rook along with their father King. I like the way the story starts to unfold. You start to meet everybody and get into the background story, but there's action from the very beginning, and I'm enjoying it. I would recommend this book. I won't be giving anything away, but so far, so good. I'm anxious to see how this turns out 🙂.

Deja is a good girl trying to do the right things in life taking care of home and kids. Too bad she didn't know she was pregnant before Knight got married. Unfortunately his wife really doesn't deserve to have his baby with her Hugh and mighty self! Now the couples fathers have some demon issues going on with them auctioning their children off to the highest paid suitors. Smh come on with the rest of the story!

DNF!!!

So Knight finds out he has kids by blessing and makes her quit her job, pack up her stuff, leave her house & go back to Chicago with him annnnnddd... She doesn't put a fight? Like... at all??? WTH??? I couldn't stomach reading any further after that bull****!!!

The fact that this book has so many high ratings just proves that people love psychopaths & weak minded women who are completely dick whipped! Point. Blank. Period.

I see you J. Dominique, I'm ready for part 2.

Now I have to wait. 🤦🏾‍♀️ King is such a traitor when it comes to his kids. And to be willing to harm his grandkids is scandalous. Knight and Bishop better get it together because I like Deja and Blessing. Now Rook he March to the beat of his own drum. But I like him. I can't for part 2

Then.

This book it's good but all the guys are bosses but they weak other than their father run in arranged marriages they already powerful that's being greedy and I looked at women out in the open and you need to do somebody's life and the other women part two can be fired so I can feel it.

Great read🔥🔥🔥

I like Knight and Bishop Rook is a Lil childish he do to much. Angelina got on my nerves she let her mom, and sister get in her head about getting pregnant I don’t believe she wants to be with Knight. I love Knight for Blessing that’s who he should be with same with Deja and Bishop. King is wrong to go against his own sons .

This is an interesting start to the series. It was full of drama, confusion, and a bit of lust. The author has introduced us to a new trio of brothers, who have recently suffered a loss, and have a father, who appears not to be loyal, at least two of the brothers are captivated by women who were not chosen for them. I’m curious to see how book to will evolve.

oh wow

Knight had so much going on, couldn't tell if he was coming or going. I feel bad about Deja, bishop played in her face fr. Overall the book was good. I didn't think that I would like it at first bc it was about a marriage possibly being broken up up but I kept reading. Minimal noticeable errors, if any. As usual the cliffhanger got me with my mouth hanging wide open lol.

I really feel for Deja, Bishop and his brothers need to place King in some type of facility! this arrange marriage stuff is enough to make me mad for the brothers! I can see Blessing and Deja along with Ava building a strong bond and handling Angelina and her trifling mama, I can't wait for part 2!

So Good

This book is so good. With a storyline that has the drama, secrets, lies, and deceit that is needed. A wide range of characters from sweet to evil, likeable to disgusting, crazy to sane. I can't wait for part two of this well written story.

WOW!!

Just wow! King is off his rockers, right along with Angelina and her parents! You couldn’t possibly want to be in an arranged marriage that bad where its going to cause you to put a hit on someone. Those boys got some ish to work out.

Great Read!!!

Knight and Blessing can’t get a break and it’s all Knights fault. I’m still rooting for them though. To be the more rational brother, Bishop has been messing up but I think he has met his match. I enjoyed their story and I can’t wait for part 2.
