“You’ve been my black love story!” Y’all!!!! Y’all!!!!! Omg the way I loved this series is SICKENING!! I don’t think it has ever taken me this long to get through a book. I did not want it to end!! LB continues to effortless show why she’s one of THE BEST to ever do it!
Bilan and Sadik had some full circle moments in book 3. Bilan….. sis!!! You made me so proud in this last book 🤣😩 the way she gathered EVERYONE…..whew 😮💨 she was not playing!!! My heart is full after reading this series. It was beyond what I could have ever expected. This was Bilan’s book with everyone else as supporting cast members. The Ellis family was a mess and they needed cleaning up badly! There was so much chaos and deceit happening that they were left vulnerable to attacks by their enemies BUT BILAN!! 🤣🤣🤣 she saw the potential in this family. She saw the love and the power they truly possessed and she made it her life’s goal to restore the nucleus that is the Ellises. Sis had her hand full not only with the family but with Tiffany 😒 Sofia 😒 and Randi 😒!! When I tell you these three heaux’s had some balls on them!!!! But Bilan definitely proved hers were bigger!
I’m not going to hold y’all because I’m the one that’s late to the LB party! If you’ve read the series then you know how amazing it is and if you haven’t, what tf are you waiting for!!! -
Another great series by Love! I loved this series so much!! Sadik and his BDE! I’ve finally made it back to where I started with LB’s books - Muted Hopelessness series. Think I’m going to listen to book 3 again since I know a lot of the people in it now.

This series was amazing. It was good, but Bilan stole the show in this book. Bilan was not someone to mess with. She was bringing together the entire Ellis family and their dysfunctional ways. It was wonderful to witness her progress from book one, as she didn't play about her family. Sadik remains the guy he is, taking care of his family. His confidence, brilliance, and alpha energy were exactly what Sadik represented. It was nice to watch Bilan round up all the side hoes since they weren't getting the hint. I believe this is my favorite Love Belvin novel because of the vulnerability, criminality, and love that we confronted with this couple. It was chaotic, but it served its purpose.

Nalib became that bxtch not be fckd with. She realized she needed to become a boss bxtch. Tiffany finally getting sense knocked into her was well deserved. Sadik BDE I see why your so loved. We getting a sandbox so you can tie mi up anytime 🤣😏😈

Bilan, you have the power!
Not Bilan being the glue that held the Ellis family together! In the first parts of this book series, I was annoyed with her a lot (I know she was going through it but dang girl stand up). Book 3 was all about her coming into her own. She was brave, loyal, and unapologetic. Loved her character development. -
Ezra is still my newest book bae but Sadik… is close! This is my 2nd series by Love Belvin and I’m grateful to finally have arrived to the party. Bilan Bilan, I mean miss ma’am! You brought the fire in book 3! I blushed and clapped all through this one. I loved, loved this series!!!

Sadik and Bilan!!!! What a Fantastic Story of Love Found and Love Believed!!!!
When you read a book by author Love Belvin, you better believe that all of your senses will be fired up, no stone will be left upturned and your heart will beat, break, scatter and finally be put back together.
In the final installment of the "Sadik" series we find Bilan and Sadik fighting to find equal footing, fighting for Sadik to take the lead and for Bilan to yield, fighting for Sadik to yield and for Bilan to take the lead. They are both trying to get a hand on the turmoil outside of the Ellis home and inside, the storms are raging and these two are standing together despite their own battles.
Sadik has now assumed the position of Head of the Ellis Empire, no it isn't a position that he every wanted. Sadik is his own man, with his own money, his own empire and most importantly his own family. Getting rapped up in his father's world is not an option for him, he wants no parts of it and Earl Ellis knows this but when Earl's health is severely compromised and his older brother Ibhan is down physically and battling for his life, that leaves Sadik to stepped in to take care of the Ellis's enemies without remorse, without compromise and to kill any and everyone who dares try to come for them.
Bilan is struggling and fighting to stay afloat, being married to Sadik is not easy being a mother isn't easy either but Bilan is fighting to do both with excellence. But Bilan has her own battles mentally and spiritually that she is trying to get a hold on, plus battling outside of the Ellis's as she determines to take her place next to Sadik while battling, commanding and demanding respect. For Sadik, Bilan is his Queen, for Bilan, Sadik is her King.
As we watch the cataclysmic ending to this superb trilogy, you will find yourself rooting, crying, stunned with disbelief, heartbroken and determined to come out on the other side of this in victory. Seeing or the mention of other characters from author Love Belvin's other books are always a great surprise. The biggest one was the appearance of Bishop Ezra and Lex (Love Unaccounted Series), they played an integral with Bilan and it was wonderful to see.
I have to say this is now up there in my top 3, it is a pretty powerful series and just when you think you have it all figured out, here comes another couple by the author that will leave you breathless.
Whenever I have finished reading a series by author Love Belvin, I have to take a break to get my mind and my heart right because I am left emotionally raw, so I need time to recalibrate before picking up a new book to start a story.
Well Until My Next Review...Ciao! -
Worth the wait!!
When I fall in love with characters it is hard for me to let them go...Essentially I get greedy for more story lines, but I have to say I am pleased with the series and the way that it ended. I loved that Mrs. Bilan Ellis was a BOSS that pulled no punches. She stepped up for the family when no one else did. She loved her husband fiercely and put all of the jealous wanna be's in their place. It was beyond due for Tiffany to get in her lane and I was here for all of it. I ended up with a new found respect for Bilan. She still had issues, but she worked through them instead of running. The love she shared with Sadik was overwhelmingly powerful and more than I could even imagine. Their explosiveness jumped off the pages. Sadik continues to ooze sex appeal through the many facets this book highlighted. His confidence, loyalty, intelligence, and even vulnerability made me love him 10 times more.
The relationships that were exposed, nurtured, broken, and mended throughout this book represented life. The ebbs and flows that we experience as life changes. I loved every minute of this book. Well done Ms. Belvin!! -
Simply Amazing
The third installment answered questions I had forgotten about. And this realization came to mind; if every man loved his woman to the degree Sadik loved Bilan, the world would be a stupendous place to live. That man would move mountains for his woman. And it was nice to see Bilan's growth in the story as it progressed. She became the real deal, and held down the Ellis's during the Queens state of despair. She fought for the family. Wow. And her angry reaction was dope. Nothing to joke about, as this was a struggle Sadik managed delightfully and with finess. Bilan and Sadik managed to love one another as their true selves with no pretenses. Having Bilan fight for her nemesis was purely amazing. Sadik was indeed Bilan's lover, friend, and her protector. The story was a true gem. -
Love Bevlin can do so much better
I have read pretty much every series by this author and haven't been disappointed until this series. She is known for having really thoughtful and detailed stories that I fall in love with but this one missed the mark. A lot of the plot didn't flow well and the ending was unnecessary. Who would become CEO of 15 charter schools after being indicted for murder? Like that's very unrealistic. All and all I wouldn't suggest you read this series or get invested in the characters, you will end up disappointed and confused. -
What a ride!
Only Love can make you find endearing qualities in a family that is less than legal. This book was the perfect way to end the series. One thing I will say, I know Sadik was the ultra-alpha male but Bilan was that chick! Everybody had to bow down! -
Still Good!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love Belvin is a terrific author, but sometimes her stories are sooo long. In a three book series maybe one book too long, IMHO. While this affords the reader a huge amount of character development and backstory after awhile it becomes tedious. I really enjoyed the plot twist at the end though.😁😁 Oh well..
Buy it, read it and enjoy. 👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥 -
I'm Hooked!
Chileeeee ion neva want to be dis addicted to a man, but Bilan shole made me wonder! Lol Sis was wild! Most importantly, she's whole and healed. Having her stand on business was applause worthy. LB wrote this series and it was worth the wait each time. Mr. Ellis is now hooked and he knows exactly where home is now! 💯 -
This series finale has Sadik and Bilan included as one of my favorite couples as Sadik proved his love for Bilan. Surprises and unexpected instances kept this story flowing as the drama and action kept me reading. Enjoyed this well written story
-
My least favorite Belvin couple/story.

Black love
It was so good seeing Bilan’s growth!!!! Man she had a shift and righted herself because she to fix a lot!!! Sadik was great but he had some moments where I felt like he dropped the ball when it comes to ex lovers!!!
Overall a great story, an ending that felt complete -
This series is amazing!!!! I could see it as a movie!!!! Sadik...mmm mmmm mmmmm I keep trying to imagine his orange haired beard... I need a visual 😂😂😂 the man is Alpha magnificent!!! Belan has my nerves all over the place... I love her Sasha Fierce persona that chic is bad ass!!!!!!!! Naive Belan had me ready to knock some sense Into her head... she was concerned with knowing too much and the. Couldn’t handle the truth!!!!! Ugh!!!! Glimpses of Ezra did my heart and mind good 😝 the character development in each book of the series has you in love with them and totally drawn into their world. The passion is FIRE!!!! Well written erotic scenes have you needing cold showers.

Be still, my heart.
The third installment in the Sadik series has arrived and is everything a girl could hope for. In Love Belvin’s He Who Is A Protector, we reach the explosive finale of Sadik and Bilan’s love story.
There were a lot of unanswered questions in the second book and we don’t have to wait long for many of the answers as we dive into He Who Is A Protector.
Sadik and Bilan are both complicated individuals with lots of layers that need to be peeled back and deep pain that manifests for both in different ways. Sadik doesn’t just want Bilan’s heart, he needs her soul and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it and run over anyone who threatens his peace, even if it includes his own family. Bilan is loving Sadik the best she can but soon learns that she will need to be placed in uncomfortable situations and face some buried truths in order to get the relationship both crave.
In this novel, these two must face family turmoil and outside influences, new and old enemies and battle themselves as they fight for a happily ever after. Sadik may be the ultimate protector but he soon learns that to be his best self, he has to allow Bilan to protect him as well.
Bilan wasn’t always my favorite person throughout the series but I must admit I liked seeing her evolve throughout these three books. In the last entry, she becomes (at times reluctantly) more assertive and really comes into her own power. Sadik is BAE. He’s moved into my top 3 Love Belvin book baes and to be honest, that top three has been SOLID for a while. But whew! That Sadik! An ultimate alpha. He knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to secure it. He managed to be authoritative and cutthroat while still managing to be quite loving and gentle. Don’t get me wrong, he was selfish as hell when it came to his love of Bilan and protecting his love but I understood it.
I loved this story and highly recommend this series. It’s a story filled with sensual chemistry, an electric connection, drama, and strong familial ties. There’s a power struggle but by the end, you’ll know who really holds the keys. -
I wanted to Love it
I never consider Love's men alpha males. They always seem like the type that have to be loved through their mess. Like they need to grow up! Although Sadik wasn't as needy as Ragee or as stubborn as Ezra he still was the type that wasn't up for compromise. Why do all the women have to do the compromising all the time? Why must they be saved? Nevertheless I am a Love fan for life who one clicks without even reading the synopsis. That wont change. But this took forever to read. -
Everyone know that Love Belvin is my FAVORITE author, so I won't sugar code anything. I could not connect with Sadik nor Bilan or their families. Sadik was doing to much and he is my least favorite alpha male. Bilan was too needy and petty for me, she made me appreciate Azmir wife.
I know others loved it but it wasn't for me. -
BRAVO!
I’m almost annoyed at myself for the speed i read this entire series, but I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!! I’ve loved reading the start of Sadik & Bilan’s story from start to finish. Love Belvin YOU DID IT AGAIN!! A must read! -
Loved it!
I loved the high and lows of this series. It was great from beginning to end. It sucked about Iban -
Whew... these two took me thru it!!! Still wrapping my head around some things.... full review to come.

Was not feeling this even though I enjoyed the previous one. I may go back one day and try again but for this goes back on the shelf, unfinished.
