A Man In Full

Romancing the Mob Boss Series #8

by Mallory Monroe

Vegas casino owner Reno Gabrini just wanted to take it easy. His beloved PaLargio was back in business and turning profits like the good old days. His headliner act, pop sensation Shay Grayson, was packing the house and making amends for her diva ways. His gorgeous African-American wife, Trina, was working hard to make her own mark on the business world and was holding her head up high despite rumors of his infidelity. His sons were happy, healthy, and completely devoted to their father. All, Reno thought, was right with the world. Until his oldest son falls in love with a ruthless woman almost twice his age, his wife reestablishes contact with a man he told her to stay away from, and he is nearly destroyed by an enemy that targets, not his mind, soul, or body, but his heart.

In the latest installment of the romantic Mob Boss Series (Book Eight), Reno Gabrini must confront the ghosts of his past as he seeks to protect his family from a subtle, but just as dangerous, foe.

Good story, still waiting to see what's going to happen with Fran and even Jazz for that matter. The mess going on in this one is so twisted and under wraps that by the time you realize what's going on you want more. I hope to see Amos again in a later story as well. I'm hating how Jimmy keeps getting the short end of the stick but I think he's going to be a problem soon. Can't wait to get back with Tommy and see what's really going on with Sal. They were missed in this drama but Tommy can have his own story I think as well. He's too good a character to continue to be a side thought. Hopefully the next one brings in some new drama and different forms of retaliation.

I had heard some much about this series and I was afraid to read it just in case I did not like it because I really enjoy this author. However, I loved it and read all the books back to back.

Another great series which I enjoyed very much. I would highly recommend it.

Lala and her man totally did my head in though and I think it takes a special kind of woman to stand by this particular man!!!!

I'm officially a fan of the series. However the stories did become a bit wash, rinse, repeat. There were some OMG moments that had me floored. I wished more descriptive adjectives could have been used. For $5.99 per book an editor needs to take a gander to help smooth out the rough edges other than that. I would recommend to anyone

This was a page turner! Reno and Trina has such a love story. You can't help but love them. All Jimmy wants is someone to love him but he keeps being used. Trina was stubborn but I can understand why and Reno does to. You have to read the story to find out details. Good read!!!

My Man Reno Gabrini is not a joke. He is truly a man who live and die for his family. I love how Mallory Monroe can weave a tale of love, revenge, love making, family and in the end it is always about Reno's family.

Closer to 3.5 stars for me. Don 't think I'll ever tire of Reno Gabrini & co.

A Very Good and Suspenseful Interracial Romantic Thriller

RENO GABRINI: A MAN IN FULL (The Mob Boss Series Book 8) is a very good and suspenseful interracial romantic thriller that earned a rating of five stars. Reno Gabrini and Trina Gabrini are still in love and they have to fight for their family to keep them safe and happy from old enemies. This book is exciting and sensual as the other books in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading very good romantic thrillers.

Very good read! I love the way the family comes together in support for one another. Reno is awesome and Trina is also my favorite character. Now I will read #9 book! I also will try to get the Sal and Tommy books, too! Mallory Monroe has done it again! I am addicted to her books! Whew!

True Love Is Everlasting

Mallory keeps the suspense and romance on target. I love reading about Reno and Trini’s love and commitment to each other. Love is sometimes messy, but true love is everlasting.

Excellent

Another great instalment in this family saga 😊. Excellent storytelling with full enjoyable characters, full on pedal to the metal with Reno 😉. He makes the story come alive.

[Vallsykes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick 2 hr episode of some days in the life of Reno and the gang. Reno-"I'm not a mob boss, but I have a longer reach"-Gabrini is worth the read, but the plot is kind of same ole-same ole: some obscure party out to mess with Reno, seek revenge, by using his loved ones.

In all, I just love badboy Reno Gabrini and he has to goes to some measures to find out who's the culprit and why. I love his ruthlessness, his lust and love for his wife, and his ability to feel remorse for s past and a status in life that puts him akin to a monster at times.

Typos and lack of good editing abound, but this series still holds merit if you life mafia romances. Yet, I can never really give more than 3 stars to it. This is one of my guilty pleasures in romance reading, so at least it was entertaining.

[Deb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable read, however not the strongest of the series. There were too many people involved in the story line which resulted in a rushed ending where things were too conveniently wrapped up.
