Missionary with a Menace 3 is where secrets come to light, loyalties crumble, and betrayal hits from places that were supposed to be safe. Love gets tested in ways it can’t hide from, and survival becomes more than just staying alive.
Malani is forced to choose herself after losing more than she ever thought she could survive. The pain hardens her, but it also sharpens her. Deuce learns that being a menace will always come with consequences—and love won’t save you from every one of them. The streets take what they always take, and not everybody makes it out whole.
In the middle of the chaos, new life brings unexpected hope, proving that even after blood, loss, and heartbreak are lurking around every corner. New beginnings still find a way to break through the cracks. The final ride is gritty, emotional, filled with growth, and the final price of loving a menace.
Bonnie is going to eat everytime. Couldn’t put it down. I do feel like this one moved a little fast and it needed about 75 more pages, but I really enjoyed it.
Never mess with a man family unless you ready for the consequences. Not all men are built to take on another man responsibility. Family means everything to all if not most. Let’s chat!!
Make I is that girl. She lives the life and about that life. Though she didn’t think she would fall for Deuce, her heart, body and soul had other plans🥹. My girl love this man down and was not playing about or with him. See my girl had me all smiles and cheering for her cause she did have an issue with checking those and getting active when needed🤭. With Reign being an example let me know she wasn’t playing any games🤭. The way she handled her and the Dom had me in tears laughing. Please stop playing with her. Can’t forget the connection and interactions with Shanni and Tye. Now you know I was overly excited about their appearance in the read🥰! One thing for sure and to for certain, Malani was not come off Deuce anytime soon. She shown that when she attempt to handle his problem but ended saving someone else🫣. Through their ups and down they were able to get it together and love each other with no interruption.
Deuce is just that 🥷🏽. Even through his rough times, he was still that🥷🏽. Once he accepted his love for Malani and that he was in love with her, he was handling anything out anyone that was a problem🥰. Now just like everyone else he had me hotter than fish grease. His actions and attitude towards Malani when she needed him most, was not a good look. He had me ready to get active cause IKYFL🤔! Regardless of the situation, you don’t treat your woman like that especially if the events were before y’all🫣. Ya boy redeemed himself for sure🤭, until Skyla. This trifling thang here. I don’t know who she thought she was playing with, but she sure picked the right one to find out 🤭. Trauma will have you looking at things differently and Deuce was able to love Malani the way she needed and then some🥰. His growth was everything to me.
Now Griz is a different breed. He didn’t play with anyone and was always about business. The way he had Deuce back and stepped up when needed was top tier🫣. He took his relationship with The Caldwell Family series and stepped up when needed. The way he moved was different and no one wouldn’t know what happened until after it was done🫣. I can’t wait to get into his back story. Though we got a taste I know there is much more and I’m ready for it.
Like always, Bonnie didn’t disappoint at all. This series was everything in my opinion. Watching the characters growth individually and as a couple was it for me. Deuce growth was the best and main one. Like my guy even smiled 🤭! One thing she’s going to give you is mess and you got that in this read plus more. Then the sneak peeks about Griz got me ready for what’s next.
Just when I thought I could go back to my regular scheduled heartbeat, we have another family problem!!!… This book was good, but I was not expecting that ending, but I’m sure Deuce is about to strap on those boots, because that’s family now for real!!!… Let’s see where that money is coming from this go around!!!… I was glad Dom and Reign were family put to rest because all that mess that unfolded about how Reign felt about Malani, was horrible!!!…
Yes! Bonnie did her thing in this series! The finale was phenomenal filled with action, emotion, and sacrifice! I love how she explored grief and how far a person would go for love and legacy!
I just finished Missionary with a Menace III by Bonnie Blanco and it was the perfect ending to Deuce and Malani’s story. Book three really delivered when it came to character growth—that was hands down my favorite part. Both of them had to go all the way through it before they could find their way back to each other, and for a minute there, I honestly didn’t think they were going to make it.
I loved how the fathers of both Malani and Deuce kind of faded into the background but still answered every question I had about them. It felt intentional and clean—no loose ends, just solid storytelling.
And the way Deuce set Malani’s mama straight? Chef’s kiss. That man was not trying to hear anybody messing with his wife. Deuce came to handle business once again, but this time he had Malani right by his side. They had to fight through the truth to get there—but they made it.
The overlap with Shanni and Tye was EVERYTHING. I love when a series rewards loyal readers like that. Now I’m ready to jump straight into Griz’s story because if this finale proved anything, it’s that Bonnie Blanco never misses. I will always show up for a series from her.
This series has been on my TBR and I finally got around to it since I saw all 3 books were out and omg😧 I’m so glad I waited because the way this series stressed me out!!! I c would be so pissed if I had to wait the way she write these cliffhangers!! I ran thru these books in a day and a half and I’m speechless. The way neither Deuce nor Malani played about each other after they never wanted one another in the 1st place. Malani came out the gate swinging about her man!! This was some amazing character development. The way Deuce grew into the perfect man for Malani was swoon worthy 😍 ouuu im ready for Griz book now! This is my 1st read by the author but will NOT be my last. 10/10 Bonnie girllll!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I wanted to love this book and actually loved book 1. However, the end of the series left it feeling incomplete. The character development of the FMC was severely lacking. Over the course of the book, the romantic connection between the MMC and FMC was lacking as well. There was sexual intimacy present, however, the foundational parts of a marriage and relationship weren’t solidified. The friendship part of the marriage that helps readers connect to the story and character didn’t exist. Something else very noticeable is the writing flow of the book wasn’t consistent with previous books by the author. Although the story is engaging at times, the writing style doesn’t consistently engage readers throughout the series and lacks sophistication.
My Fav is a beast, she brought all the fire and the smoke this series, it was great from beginning to end. I’m so happy Malani and Duece got their HEA!!! They went through hell and back, from not wanting to get married to falling hard for each other. The betrayals for Malani were brutal, though he faltered for a minute, for the most part Duece stood ten toes down for his wife. Malani definitely stood on business with her so called best friend, Reign and Dom got exactly what they deserved. I love me a laid back, silent ninja with BDE and Griz is THAT ninja, I can’t wait for his story!!! As always Fav, you did yo big one with this series!!!
Everything happens for a reason and with the Caldwell’s that was the case. Once all threats were eliminated, life started. Little Tre was the blessing the family needed. The happy love story ending seemed impossible for a while, but they did it. I’ll miss this group. How I fell so deep in 3 books is insane. I cried at the last scene with Duece And Dank. Like real tears streamed down my face. Also, Whyyyyyy did I tear up when they introduced Kash and Shanni! Omg I love them. I’m glad they surrounded themselves around Malani. Great series. But baybeeeeee Griz’s story will be amazing. I just know it will and I’ll be waiting!
If Deuce said it, count it done. I was a little worried about him being so gentle with Raja but short and snappy with Malani about her baby. Understand the uncertainty but that wasn’t necessary. Like Bonnie said, he rectified that but she showed he wasn’t going to play with her emotions. They handled final business together. Although one lil one was lost, Dank said his son would grow with Deuce’s son and it came to be. Deuce can breathe now, or can he with an enemy obviously coming for Griz! You know Griz and Raja gotta hook up. He’s held lil Deuce and Tre and it’s done something to him. Maybe Dank will appear to Griz and give his blessings.
Now this is how you bring a finale together heffa!!!! Bonnie, you did your thing. You had me cursing Malani out even though I did still have love for the girl but also a lack of patience. The baby boys being born and called Deuce & Tre 🥹🥹🥹 The beginning of Gris having his own story. Everything about this was tea! Now I feel I need me a Gris in my life! I loved everything about this!
Sky deserved what she got because lying about being pregnant was just foolish. I’m so glad Dom & Reign are gone too! I’m glad Malani momma got her life together as well!
Missionary With A Menace 3: An Unhinged Arranged Marriage
Book 3 did not disappoint. Not only was Deuce crazy, but my girl Malani was just as if not more. My girl was bodying folk like it was right. Piss a bitch off if you want to.
I loved their relationship and how they ride for each other. If Deuce didn't or couldn't handle the situation, you best believe Lani will. The love they had was each other was binding and extremely unhinged, but all is far in love and war,
Can't wait to read Griz's story. Deuce and Lani about to crash out again to help him.
When Betrayal, Revenge and Savagery turns into Redemption!!!
Just like I knew it would, Ms. Blanco always eats down with a messy good time! I almost hated Deuce this go around but he redeemed himself and remained who was but also letting his vulnerable side become a bigger part of his life. Lani did what she had to do and I’ll stand 10 toes down behind her still! Now Grizz’s story is one that I’m sooooooo ready to get into!
I just knew Griz story was coming next. Cherish finally came around. Can’t wait for it! As far as Deuce and Malani, I’m glad things worked out for them. They eliminated all problems that hindered their marriage. The baby was miscarried because it wasn’t Deuces. Dank told him the truth though. They’d both have boys. They aren’t far in age either. Get to grow up like brothers like their dads. I enjoyed this series!
I love this story! I struggled a bit with the pacing and plot. Skyla’s brief appearance seemed unnecessary, given the outcome of it all. Dank’s Dad’s reappearance was underwhelming to me. I wish the twins’ reconciliation was explored a little more.
The peek into Grizz’ story pulled me back in. I can’t wait for the next installment!
Wow ! This was the perfect closure we needed ! You gave us everything without overdoing it. One thing about Deuce, he gonna stand behind Malani okayy, he don’t play about his wife.
Malani got the revenge she’s been craving for while saving the lives of her loved ones.
I lied this book! I love how this book left nothing to chance. I enjoyed seeing Deuce’s character development in this book. It may have been an arrangement marriage but this was good for both Deuce and Malani. They both had to get out of each other’s way to love the other right. I was also happy to learn more about Griz. It’s an amazing finale to a great series!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This series was what’s the word I am looking for interesting maybe? I am honest trying to figure out what was the point of the 3rd book? Dom and his trick could have been killed in book two and the momma could have stayed irrelevant but that’s not my business. This definitely could have been a two book series. That’s it that’s all that’s my review.
I knew she was going out with a BANG with book 3. Baby she did that. If you don’t love me like deuce love Malani baby I don’t want you. He don’t play about her at all now I got a glimpse of Griz new book and that’s gonna be the one for me. I love a book that starts off with a mess.
I knew sky was lying about that baby but she got more than what she bargain for sorry not sorry and I’m glad we’re getting ready to learn more about gliz and his past and that baby was not duece baby I wish he would’ve told her but he finally got his son and I’m glad the twins are back on speaking turns
Wow Malani and Deuce went thru so much but in the end they truly were happy. There was a lot of mistrust and lack of communication and a lot of emotional turmoil, the not knowing with the pregnancy, the betrayal of Reign and Dom, so much! A lot of secrets but alls well that ends well. I loved this series and can't wait for Griz' story!
This was a great series. It had me from book one to book three. Lani and Duece went through a lot within their marriage but I’m glad they came out on top because Reigh and Dom was out to get them, never would’ve thought they was working together. And I will say I hate that we lost Dank so early in the book. Awesome read
This series was soooooo good! The storyline was everything drama, love, grit, passion, and action packed. I loved the characters and the ways they protected, cared for, honored, and loved each other. The ups and downs highs and lows made this series a 10/10. Can’t wait for Griz’s story. S/O to Bonnie Blanco Roe City proud!
Loved how the story ended and everyone got what they deserved. Deuce really came into his own and became the man he needed to be. Skylar was never really a threat and she had to learn the hard way. Deuce is a real one and will hold the family down at all costs. Love this and want to hear Griz’s story…
This book was great! I'm glad everything worked out and Deuce didn't let anything come between his marriage. Skyla needed help!! Malani got what she wanted in a husband with Deuce even though it took awhile lol. Deuce got his son that Dank told him he was going to get and now he has a nephew and son to look after!
Welp Milano and Deuce got their happy ending but not without tying up loose ends, some heartbreak and forging of new relationships. Both Deuce and Milani had some work to do and when they realized that they were better as 1 team than 2 separate teams-their world got a little brighter and better.
This series was so good im so happy for Malani and Duece they took care of all the enemies. I still hate that her best friend betrayed her like that malani was so hurt killing her. Duece finally got a son and he has a nephew that’s loved I really wish Dank didn’t die but his son is loved by family. I really enjoyed this series now let’s see what Grizzley has going on.
Lines were crossed, and some things have been resolved. However, Deuce and Malani find themselves confronting the decisions that were made before their marriage.
Deuce has to face what it means to love and truly be supportive when situations don't play out like he wants it too.
Deuce and Malani have to decide how to love forward together or seperatly.
Part 3 did not disappoint!!! When that bitch popped up pregnant, I almost threw my kindle because why can’t yall use protection with hoes?? I am glad how it ended though. Deuce and Malani finally got their baby and happiness
