The Escort #6
The Forever One
Hell hath no fury like a scorned mafia queen.
They couldn't have my blood so they went after my husband.
Their mistake was underestimating me.
Controlled by my past and the responsibilities my true heritage bestows on me, I’m driven to make decisions I never once considered.
In the midst of chaos, families either come together or choose deceit, allowing the tragedies born from the war to scar us beyond recognition.
But we stand together, fight together, and seek out our truths together as one.
I have lost.
I have suffered.
I have grown.
I am finally allowing this love I once rejected to fill my heart with brand new possibilities, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep us whole.
Forever.

Phenomenal
This book has all the feels....It's full of Love, Action, Steam, Sorrow, Shock & Anger. I went from Edge of my seat to Screaming at my kindle to Fanning myself to Heart Wrenching SOBS!
River is such a Kick A$$ FMC and Marco is a Sexy as all Alpha Husband who I think has now been claimed as my #1 Book Boyfriend.
This series is everything I needed and wanted, the twists and turns, is just flat out BRILLIANT.

My first finish of February was the MUCH anticipated GRAND FINALE in the 6 book Escort Series. These are not stand alones and can not be read out of order. Reading order:
The Rich One
The Kinky One
The Filthy One
The Broken One
The Almost One
The Forever One
This final installment is everything I needed it to be an so much more. I would have been happy ending this story several times throughout the book. I was so ready for River to have her forever happily ever after. But my oh my was it ever a ride to get there. There were actual tears and fears and everything in between.
But BEWARE!!! This story ends on a cliffie with a single unanswered question. A tiny thread that will unravel in the next installment in this world. Lina’s story.
There are very few books that I deem “reread” worthy. I literally just finished this ARC and I’m going to purchase the paperbacks on Amazon because I need the book trophy on my shelf forever. I also want to read the whole series again as one long continuous story now that I know how it ends. All this is to say. Read it. River starts her story as an ESCORT. So there is a lot of smut. So if that’s your thing, please proceed with reckless abandon.

Erm...excuse me?! Why did I cry? More than once?! What have you guys done to me??
This one had it all, dark, dirty, dangerous and downright adorable! If you have triggers, make sure to read the warnings...there is one particularly rough chapter and a couple of other moments not meant for the faint of heart.
I have enjoyed every second of this series and can not wait to see more of Lina and her men, as well as keeping up to date with River and Marco.

Poignant and Fitting
This is the final installment of the series and boy, is it a doozy. I'll be upfront about the darkness, it is 100% present. Some things are predictable and expected based on where the last book left off and the general tone of the series, but there are a couple of things that really get to me. They don't gut me, but it is close.
I do love River Rose Fox Volpe Mancini's spirit. She is fierce and a survivor through and through. Her pairing with Marco Mancini works in unexpected ways. I love them together!
I pause then turn my sharp gaze on Elizabeth. “Cross me and I will slit your throat.”
-- River Fox Mancini
Please do check your triggers for this series. There's light and humor, but there's also frequent, very descriptive dark elements that you should beware.
This series really needs to be read in order. The storyline builds with every book and references to earlier ones are often. Also, this is more HFN than HEA with the door being left open for spinoff series.
I listened to the book before reading along with the audio. The narrators, Sean Masters, Ryan Lee Dunlap, and Kallestra / Kalestra Spencer (I cannot definitively confirm which spelling is correct, and it's driving me crazy), continue to do a great job with this series. 🎧🩷🎧
Story: 5 stars
Narration: 4.5 stars
Listening Speed: 1.8x

4.5/5
I'm not a fan of how this book ended, but I love the story enough to still rate this book high and read the spin-off with Lina!
“You should have trusted me”—she repeats, completely ignoring my pleas, or excuses—“to be strong enough to hear the truth. You should have trusted me to know how powerful this thing is between us. You should have trusted in us.”
I'm so proud of River. While she understood why Marco wanted to hide her family history and the whole thing with the Reeds, she didn't allow him to bulldoze her. She was honest. She COMMUNICATED with him! I absolutely love this series because of that! She's so strong. She's broken but not beaten. She is kind and compassionate, but she's not weak. She is a queen. I adore her.
“I was afraid of losing myself to…” She pauses, searching for her words. “I was afraid that your love for me would be so blinding that I’d lose myself, incinerate myself in it.”
“But it hasn’t, Marco. It’s only made me discover parts of me I didn’t know existed. It’s like, allowing myself to be loved by you has made me shine brighter instead of burn out.”
Vulnerability with the person you love is not weakness! I absolutely love that River realized this. That being in love doesn't detract from an amazing and independent life but adds to it. It's someone to lean on. Someone to be a support system. Someone to help lift up.

Just when I think that this author pairing couldn’t surprise me with what their devious minds can come up with I read The Forever One and was completely gripped. This book will definitely leave you with a book hangover, such a rollercoaster of a read it is. Intrigue, suspense, heartache and angst not forgetting lots and lots of sizzling smut, The Forever One throws everything at you and then some as River and Marco take on their enemies with lots of wicked banter between them.
There have been trigger warnings throughout this series which I personally didn’t see the need for but I would strongly suggest that you read them prior to this book as there is a particular event that will be upsetting to some but it isn’t overly graphic. One thread is left hanging but that is for Lina’s story to tie up in a bow but I’m hoping that eventually J. will get a book of her own, now there’s an intriguing bada$$.....
I am so glad I took a chance on reading the Escort series. It’s certainly looking like being one of the surprising highlights of my reading year.

This was the perfect ending to River’s story! 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙊𝙣𝙚 is emotional, captivating, thrilling, intense, spicy, and so, so addicting, it’s everything and so much more. Tears were shed, I laughed out loud, wanted to throw my kindle against the wall and I loved every minute of it. The crazy, wonderful, and slightly sadistic duo (aka N.O. One), have out done themselves once again! These ladies are complete masterminds and I can’t wait to see what else they give us in the future! I’m sad this is the end of River’s story, but it was absolutely 𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 and I will definitely be doing rereads of this series.
May 13, 2023
I was and still am not ready for this series to be over. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much, and I mean full blown ugly cry, snot, tears and gasping for air. Because if there’s one thing these sadist Authors do well. It’s torture you and drag it out. River deserved her HEA and her sheer acceptance of being the Mafia Queen she is really was the tip of the iceberg. Marco and River are definitely twin souls and I hope in the future we get some more of their story because something tells me it’s far from over. Maybe next time we can have less dying and crying please because my heart couldn’t take it.
February 3, 2023
My Gods! This series… this book! I feel like I was put in the back of a box truck and driven off road across the Rocky Mountains with no way to hold on. My brain, my emotions, my heart - ALL.OF.IT was taken for a ride. Marco is the ultimate possessive dominant mafia boss who met his perfect match in the bad a$$ River. They are relationship goals, mentally, emotionally, and hawt dang physically!!!!! I’m sad for Lina but without spoiling anything I am 100% in for her getting the help she needs from those that are dying to help her! Wink wink!! Absolutely loved this series!!
Did Not Finish
May 9, 2023DNF’ed at 50%. This last book had so much potential to thicken the plot with Rivers backstory and their relationship, but every time they got somewhere serious, BAM. They had to get it on. I love spicy books and smut. I knew what I was in for with this series. But this one was too hard to get through. There was minimal to no flow with the book because of the constant getting it on. I’m bummed. But I did enjoy the series for the most part!

”I was afraid of losing myself to… I was afraid that your love for me would be so blinding that I’d lose myself, incinerate myself in it.”
“I’m not sure how to take that, if I’m being honest.”
“But it hasn’t, Marco. It’s only made me discover parts of me I didn’t know existed. It’s like, allowing myself to be loved by you has made me shine brighter instead of burn out.”
The beginning of the book was jam-packed with actions since River and co head to Italy to save Marco and Enzo. They are betrayed by Elizabeth and taken as prisoners as well. After the escape, the things kind of settle down and the rest of the book is, for the main part, smooth sailing.
In a way, this book was a bit of an anti-climatic ending to the series. Don't get me wrong, it was not boring per se but it still left too many unanswered questions up in the air at the end. Here are a few I could think of immediately (not me immediately starting to hear the lyrics to Ava by Natalie Jane in my head):
* Where did Ugo run to? What happened to him?
* Why was Nathaniel trusted enough that he was left to live? Where did he go to and what happened after River left the room she talked to him in?
* Who sent Kai's killer? Who was the killer? Why was Kai killed?
* What was Elizabeth's motivation to all of this? Just marriage to Marco to gain his empire after killing him?
* Why was Nathaniel's mother so vengeful? What did she gain from the whole ordeal?
I think a good and great author are in one way distinguished from each other in the way they manage to portray other characters. A great author can provide you an insight into a character and their actions without ever writing from their POV. They also manage to conlude a book or a series in a way that the reader is not left wondering about the events that took place. I think that this one of the reasons for all my unanswered questions and why this book felt a bit anti-climatic.
I found it extremely cringe how River, after really having embraced herself as Marco's wife in the previous book, constantly called Marco husband. It just did not fit her character or the book.
I am aware that Kings of Kink tells the story of Lina and her three guys and it was foreshadowed heavily. However, since Kings of Kink is a separate book despite taking place in the same universe, I think that with this series set-up, there were too many questions left unanswered.
Also, as a final word, I think the epilogue was just main weird. It was all of a sudden told in a me-format and just felt super out of place and a weird ending to the series.
Despite all my critique, this book was easy to read and I was eager to finish the series to see what happens.

Seeing the all new side of river is so satisfying and interesting! My heart honestly cannot cope with these books! It breaks one second then swells with love the next! These books definitely keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time! I am now so hooked I need to continue with the rest of the books that follow this series… King of Kink is next 👀
March 3, 2023
I will need 5-7 business days to process these books. Obsessed doesn't even begin to explain my feelings for this series. UGH
March 4, 2023
I have no words. I will need time to cope with the amount of feelings I have for this series. I would read 6 more if I could. Can’t wait to see what this duo does next! 😮💨

Very hard to put down!
This series will forever be burned into memory! Oh the anticipation! The twists and smokin' hot sexy scenes! The crushes and back stories. I loved it all. There were some tears and many laugh out loud page turners!!! I absolutely loved both MCs and characters. Thanks for the escape :)
I am looking forward to Lina's story.

I am telling you now, this is ABSOLUTELY one of my top 5 favourite series.
I cannot describe how much i loved these characters, every book had me on the edge of my seat and as soon as they finished, i picked the next one straight up😮💨
This is definitely a re readable series for me, its all ive thought about since the series ended 🥲
Its also made me want to go and re try to read the MC series & if you know me, you know MC isnt normally for me. After seeing little cameos of different characters I’ve met in previous books, im absolutely going to give them a go.
Im so sad that this series is over but i cant wait to dive into NO. Ones other work and *potentially* see them again 🥹
5/5

Who the hell is N.O. One, and how do the write a story that has held me captive for 5 straight days?
My Review ⤵️
Well this is a bittersweet review for me, I have read this entire series (6 books) in five days! To say my regular life got put on hold would be pretty accurate. But I honestly didn’t have a choice, I needed to see what happens to River and the people in her orbit.
In this final book in The Escort series we get drug through the emotional wringer, I am refusing to say more than that because you are going to be taken off guard and you are going to be emotionally effected and who am I to give you clues so you can prepare yourself? That being said, questions get answered, secrets get revealed and all the lives in this world are changed in one way or another. We do get some closure and River does get her happy ending, but not without some sacrifice.
N.O. One has written this series so visually I felt like I was binging a mini series, like Netflix kept asking me if I was still there, because I barely moved while reading ! 😏 I am so happy I took a shot on this author and this series, I am sad that River’s story is over, and I hope this isn’t the last I hear from her and the rest of the characters that make up her world.
This story is gritty and doesn’t shy away from the dark subject manner, it also doesn’t hide the emotional connections. N.O. One doesn’t seem to know how to shy away from the emotions that will quite possibly break you, they put everything out there and it’s amazing!
Just remember you must read these in order, otherwise you are going to miss out on so much, so start with “The Rich One” and don’t stop until you have to. I know that’s what I’m going to do!

A MUST READ! Smut lovers this is perfect for you!
The Forever One... This book has left my heart broken FOREVER. So get your tissues ready, get chocolate and maybe some wine. Actually, bring in the full cavalry. You will need it.
This book is perfect for River and her Forever love, but d@mn is the journey rough. Rough on River, her guy and their nearest and dearest but also the reader. This book has sent my emotions in a tailspin, my blood pressure high, caused some dehydration (got to have done with all these tears I've spilled) and yet made my heart so happy.
With each book in this series, there's been a growth in River that I've enjoyed reading, but in The Forever One she is the Fierce Queen that she's been becoming. I've loved it and I love her.
Her man, I'd keep him forever myself and let him be my Twin Flame ANY DAY! Ever since he's turned up on the scene, this man has had me salivating and going through batteries like no tomorrow. This book, he's all of that and yet so much more, leaving me swooning A LOT and falling more and more in love with him.
The writing is amazing, I can't even put into words how good it is. I am so grateful to have come across this dynamic duo and for being able to get lost in their world. The Forever One is truly phenomenal and this series is incredible. I couldn't recommend this enough, read it!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Hell hath no fury like a scorned mafia queen. They couldn't have my blood so they went after my husbands. Their mistake was underestimating me. Controlled by my past and the responsibilities my true heritage bestows on me, I'm driven to make decisions I never once considered. In the midst of chaos, families either come together or choose deceit, allowing the tragedies born from the war to scar us beyond recognition. But we stand together, fight together, and seek out our truths together as one. I have lost. I have suffered. I have grown. I am finally allowing this love I once rejected to fill my heart with brand new possibilities , and I'll do whatever it takes to keep us whole. Forever.
This is the final book in this series. I have read them all at one time and was lucky enough to get to read this one right after the first six so I was really invested in this book. It does not disappoint at all. This is one emotional read and you really go through everything River goes though in the moment. I don't know how to review this book and not say something that would spoil an event in this book. You just need to go in to it blind and not know a thing that is going to happen. It is an experience for sure to read this entire series. You do not want to miss it.

Utterly speechless, completely mind blowing and , on the edge of my seat feeling like my heart was beating out of my chest and anticipating what was going to happen from the first book until the very last . I’m someone who reads a ton of dark romances by so many crazy talented authors. But this was easily one of the best I’ve come across in a very very long time .each book is filled with the most wonderfully written characters. Characters that are so captivating so unique and very multi layered and storylines that are guaranteed to grab onto all your emotions so fast and pull at your heartstrings in ways you definitely will not be expecting. This time around we get River and Marcos journey and man was it a emotional rollercoaster filled with dark raw gritty and emotionally charged moments, intrigue, suspense, non stop action, tragedy, angst , witty banter , off the charts chemistry, romance, family , friendships, sorrow , shock , anger , heartbreaking and heartfelt moments, twists and turns a Kick A&& feisty FMC and a sexy as H&LL protective and possessive Alpha . In short this series and book was and is a true masterpiece that should absolutely not be missed . I’m so freaking sad to see it end

I am so sad this series is over!!! It was everything!! Love, heartbreak, suspense, unexpected twists and turns, all the emotions, splash of darkness, romance, unaliving, next level spice… a true roller coaster of a story.
As happy as I am with how it all turned out, I am so going to miss River and all the situations she finds herself in. I should know better with these authors than to expect a nice, tidy last book to wrap everything up - oh no, they have to rip us apart but by bit and slowly put us back together while still ripping parts out again along the way…..and I’m so on board with it!
I love what shocking plot twists they come up with that are so far out of my imagination that nothing is predictable. I love how we get glimpses of characters from other books and how they are all intertwined even the tiniest bit.
I devour everything that Blondie and Brunette release and if I haven’t read it yet, I’m going back to get and read them now and I suggest you do the same!!!

"Even when I'm standing, I'm on my knees for you"
Wow! The final book in the Escort Series and it did not disappoint!
As expected the characters were written so well with the depth and emotions needed to make sure we feel everything just as they were. This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions but thankfully finishes with all the warmth and happiness that River deserves.
I'm sad that its the end of Rivers story, her and Marco are couple goals despite his questionable career. No one loves anyone the way those two love each other. I'll miss Ev and Petal's wonderful weirdness and I love that they have started their little family.
Im so excited for more from this universe and hope we see Lina come back from where we left off with her.
Love, love, love this book and will keep recommending!!

I had to sit on this for a day before I could review it. And I still don’t know how I feel lol. I received an ARC, I’ve loved this series one book at a time. But damn did they do some damage with this one!! I won’t give away any spoilers but, well, people die. Like die and stay dead kind of die. And I was not about it😹
These ladies make you fall in love with each of these characters only to rip them away from you. Oh, things are going well? Let sprinkle some travesty and betrayal into the mix, that’s better! NOT!!!!
Overall, I’d give this book 4.5 stars. While it was great, I found I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the rest of the series. I think it ended a little too abruptly. Problems start to get resolved then wham, it’s over. I understand this was probably to lead into Lina’s book (which I’m hella excited for!!!!)

I ARC read this series from the first book and I cannot even right now. This series has made me laugh, cry, gasp, melt at the spice, want to unalive characters, and shake the FMC sometimes. This chick has a magic 😺 I swear because she's swimming in 🍆 from the beginning. But the man she ends up with could smack my ass and dominate me as he whispers dirty talk to me ANY day. Just come here, flip it, and reverse it. I'm so happy I read how this amazing and hot story unfolded. The twists and unexpected drops left my breathless at times. A part of me is sad at this being the end and saying goodbye to this storyline. But the other can't wait to read Lina's story (because maybe we'll catch up with our lovely power couple). Thank you for sharing this incredible world you've built. I can't wait to read more of your work together ladies. And also, you're stuck with me now 😈

The phenomenal finale to River's rollercoaster ride!
Grab your tissues, and a bottle of rum, you're going to need them, that's all the spoilers I'm gonna give you...
Honestly, if you've not picked up this series yet, YOU NEED TO! It's not an easy ride but it was so worth it, the feels that these two authors are able to write is just insane, each and every character is written with perfection and they'll manage to worm their way into your heart and soul!
This is bittersweet because I've enjoyed this series SO MUCH and I don't want to say goodbye to these characters 😭 but River needed her HEA, and it was beautiful 🥺😍
I'll forget be grateful that these two (whoever you are 🧐) have come together to give us these masterpieces and I can't wait for more 🖤

So The Escort is finally done. It was a whirlwind year with much anticipation to find out who River's ONE would finally be. Are you happy with the final decision? If you had asked me several books ago, I'd say no because I had an absolute front runner but today? The best decision yet. This is who she was always meant to be with. There were some amazing highs showing River's strength and poise and there were some amazing lows that darned near destroyed me. Suspense, darkness, steamy as heck moments. This story had it all and then some. I still have no clue who the blonde one or the brunette one are but together, they are a powerhouse writing team and I look forward to more from them.

It’s taken me a few days to post this review not because the book was lacking. That isn’t the case at all.. I’ve had a serious book hangover after finishing this series. I love River and Marco.. Marco is husband goals for sure. My heart was ripped wide open for a few reasons in this book. These two ladies pulled off something amazing 6 books in 10 months and none of the books suffered because of it. I stumbled across book one by accident and then quickly sold off my firstborn and Tom Hardy just to make it on the ARC team (no judgement please) 😂. It was a wild ride for sure and I can’t wait for the next series from these two.

I knew this ending would be epic, but I completely underestimated these two ripping my heart out, dancing on it, then putting it back with a bow. I cried a lot throughout this one & definitely hit all the feels and it was all completely worth it. Although a certain chapter/s about destroyed me, some twists were unexpected, and we could absolutely yell MARCO ____ at the end, I will absolutely reread this entire series. I’m so happy to know we’re also getting Lina’s story because so much was left in the air and added bonus we’ll get to visit River again, so I’m relieved I preordered already!

Brav-f*ckin-o, this is hands down my favorite series. The Forever One is the ending we didn't know we needed. It shattered me to pieces, I ugly cried, but in the end I feel like I got "mostly" put back together. This writing duo knows how to bring forward the emotions and write a freaking amazing series. This has left me with a severe book hangover because it was that incredible. I am now a forever fan of N.O. One and look forward to seeing what they come out with next, they are the best addiction and I'll always be coming back for more.

Oh. My. Gods. Firstly I can't believe we've hit book 6 and River's story is officially over. This book gave me all the feels and broke my heart only to piece it back together again.
Dark, dirty and absolutely incredible. I can't do anything other than urge everyone to start at the beginning of this incredible series and immerse yourself in River's story, because it is one that you will want to read over and over again.
Thank you to these incredible authors for giving us this series!! ❤️
