Mia and Titan love to breakup to make up and right now they’re in the make up phase. But, all that makin’ up has gotten Mia unexpectedly knocked up. Surprisingly, Titan is thrilled at the prospect of a lil DeLuca runnin’ around on the Dillinger family compound. But, being pregnant was not on Mia’s 2026 BINGO card so, against Titan’s wishes, she heads to Paris on a planned mission to clear her head and figure out if she actually wants to keep this baby. Mia’s book was exactly what I expected. It was full of drama, drama, and more drama. This couple has been stressin’ us out since Titan was introduced in Maceo’s book so, the constant bickerin’, fightin’, and f*ckin’ became the norm for these two. But, the unexpected growth and maturity was a welcomed change. I was so proud of Mia and Titan for wanting to better themselves as a couple and individually. I loved how Mia embraced her soft girl era and finally let Titan love her like she deserved. And, I was beyond thrilled when Maddie finally cut Senior off, found her worth, and got her own HEA. Go head Maddie! To say I’m sad that we’ve come to the end of this series would be an understatement. I have enjoyed the Dillinger clan and I’m truly goin’ to miss this group of psychotic vigilantes. But, knowing that KB is givin’ us a series on the three E’s lessens the sadness just a little. 🥹
Now I cried, laughed, smiled so hard while reading this book. It was absolutely amazing. I just love this family so much.
Mia and Titan! I just knew their story was going to be an interesting one. The toxicity of their relationship but that only made them closer. I love how they grew together throughout the story of what they had to experienced. It wasn’t an easy process but they got through it. It was bittersweet to read. I love the happiness in all of the characters relationships.
I just love the jokes, the banter and everything about this family.
It’s been a minute since I read the last one, so trying to remember the birth names w/street names, the wives, and all the damn kids had me scratching my head.
The book was bit longer than I anticipated; but I enjoyed it. Titan and Mia have the best character development in this book. Their story was one of toxicity, loss, heartbreak, and depression! Mia is bad ass and Titan…whew…I love me some Titan, b/c he loves Mia’s difficult dirty drawls!
The links to books where characters were mentioned is always a highlight for me to add to my TBR.
Not too many; but some editing errors that could’ve been avoided.
This was more of a 4.5⭐️ for me but I'm rounding up. I really really LOVED the first maybe 70% then, for ne it dragged until the end. I completely understand why that last 30% exist but... You know what? Imma just say it and I really can't believe it, but there was too much extra graphic s3x that last 30% for me... But I truly did love the story and it was a great way to end the series. I have enjoyed this crazy family! It wouldn't hurt my feeling at all if Senior got a little novella of him finding his forever on a vacation or something. Or just a fling cause we know Senior.
If you know Mia & Titan, then you already know… all they knew was TOXIC. I went in prepared to be stressed—and yeah, they had me there. Right from the start, it’s giving “life said grow up NOW.”
What made this one hit, though, was the growth. Watching them recognize their patterns, course-correct, and actually do the work—not just individually, but for their relationship—especially Titan being intentional about fighting for them (we love a man committed to growth 👏🏾)—had me feeling like a proud auntie 🥹
And the banter?? Acting like a plum fool—as expected for a Dillinger book 😭
Messy, emotional, but worth it. A solid wrap-up for Senior's children for sure!
I’m just over here stuck because I’m sad it’s over. I miss my family lol. I love Mia and Titan and all of their toxicness. I love the comments and jokes from past books. Just everything.
I am happy the final story was told. It was interesting and mostly held my attention. The antics by the siblings were overshadowing to the story at times. Always getting the belt... Whew! However, I am happy for this conclusion to the saga.
Wrapped up the series very nicely ! I cried for the first 20% of the books thanks a lot KB! lol Mia worked my nerves a bit but she redeemed herself ! Titan I love me some him ! He such a lover boy for mia and whoop ass as needed! lol i just love this whole family !!!!
I think this was a fitting conclusion to the Dillinger family. Titan & Mia were exactly who they’ve been in every other book, and I definitely found myself ready for them to break out of that toxic cycle. It took a very UNNECESSARY tragedy to really force them to figure out what they wanted from each other, but once they did, they committed to doing the work and I enjoyed watching that journey.
As always, my favorite part was the family dynamic. They’re a bunch of shit talkers, but when it matters, they show up for each other every time.
ALSO…..Mia and Titan are a little touched in the head🫣. I was clutching my pearls a bit. They nasty too 😏
MIAAAAAAA *throws shoe* GIRL. She irritated me so bad in the beginning of the book like girl can you just listen for ONCE omg!!! What happened to her (and Titan) was terrible though, that was extremely sad. As bad as it was, I'm glad that she and Titan were able to grow from it bc they were both childish with one another. I enjoyed seeing more of Titan, his intro in other books was cool but learning him was nice. I love how Mia learned to slow down and be soft sometimes. She deserved to have some softness in her life. Both of their growth was great! And of course it's always good seeing the other Dillingers. Beautifully written, loved it
Kiiiiiiiimmmmm girllll this is my favorite family to read about and baby sis did not disappoint us with her antics and glow up. I don’t want this series to end I feel like a Dillinger. This book was so good for my soul as a person that dealt with grief recently it was beautifully written and discussed throughout. Mia and Titan took me through it in this book in every way possible. The toxicity, the love, the fights, the makeup, love, grief, it was all beautiful and emotional. Their growth and willingness to get help and commitment to each other and adult communication was exciting to watch unfold on every page. Please tell us we are getting a holiday special or Juneteenth book or something we need updates already 😂😂 10/10 loved it.
I’m not even going to lie—I was on the fence about Mia and Titan because they got on my nerves BAD in the previous books. But this one? Whew. So, so good. The character development alone was everything—Mia and Titan really did what needed to be done.
This story had me a little heartbroken at times, but Ms. Brown knew exactly how to pull it all back together 🫶🏾
Now listen… Stanley Dillinger—aka Pops, aka Senior—lowkey stole the whole show for me. That’s my guy! I need a novella, a bonus chapter, SOMETHING. I need the full rundown on him, the baby mamas, all the tea—and I need him to get his happy ending too.
Do I think Ms. Stephanie is gonna give us that? Probably not… but I’m still holding out hope 😭
Ranking of Series:
1. Mia 2. Steele 3. Smoke 4. Jadea 5. Deuce 6. Maceo (did not read)
I was worried that Titan and Mia were going to be too toxic for me to enjoy this story, and I'm so glad I was wrong because I enjoyed this book so much. Kimberly Brown really takes the reader through some heavy emotions with this one, but it was all worth it to see their growth. Titan and Mia go through something so incredibly tragic, and if I'm being honest, I was pissed at Mia because it was 100% preventable and 100% her fault. The only reason this isn't a 5-star read for me is because I didn't think that Titan should have shared as much blame as he did, but this was a really good end to the series.
I finished this book on 4/24/26 and here I am finally writing my review 2 days later because I needed time to process. With that being said, Kimberly Writeisha Brown, you wrote the hell outta this book. I was one of those that thought I could do without Mia and Titan’s story, but baby was I wrong. Talk about a redemption story for both main characters. I love the development and growth of these two individually and as a couple. Dare I say are they have become one my favorites 🫣🤗
I loveeee a family series and this one will forever be one of my favorites. The banter because these fools are hilarious, the love (even tough love), the togetherness, this is how you write a family. I don’t know how Kim continues to outdo herself but she does. Even through the tough moments, you’re always met with a happy moment. Great pacing and comedic relief when needed. Oh, and enough putting Mia through the mattress for her to look like Gina on that episode of Martin LOL, I see you Almighty Titan 😝
Overall, I didn’t want the book to end. Great “ending” to the series!!!
Let me start with this… Kimberly Brown absolutely dogged me out with this one. I’m talking ugly crying within the first 30 minutes. Like ma’am… why would you do that to me? Mia came in strong, mouthy, and independent... She’s the type who doesn’t bend easily, and honestly, that’s what makes her character hit. But whew, the emotional weight she had to carry in this story? Now let’s talk about Mia and Titan… because in my mind, they needed each other. They had to go through it. The heartbreak, the tension, the growth… all of it was necessary. That ending was well deserved. I loved every single minute of this book. And I say this every time a new release drops, but this one? It reminded me exactly why I’m such a fan of Kimberly Brown in the first place.
I’m gonna miss my family so bad 😩😩 ngl I didn’t know how much I’d like Mia and Titan based on their behavior in the other books and Mia was dead wrong when this one started but wow I love them real bad. Though good bad and ugly they figured out how to go from fighting with each other to fighting for each other and watching them learn to be soft and vulnerable was really beautiful. Titan is A MAN and I get why Mia don’t play about him and I love that he loves her for exactly who she is and will throw down when he needs to.
I really need some more siblings or cousins or something because I already want more shenanigans with the Dillingers!
What an amazing way to end the sibling series. Kimberly Brown had me in all my feelings in this last book! I cried, laughed and cried a little more. Job well done! The growth in Mia and Titan was a pleasure to read. This was a bitter sweet ending.
I needed their story BAD. Emotional, messy, and full of growth. The growth in this book is beautifully written. Watching Mia navigate her control, her walls, and everything she’s been through had me locked in. Titan… baby, he was exactly what she needed (Big Dawg). The way he stood behind her, he didn’t fold and loved her through all that stubbornness; it truly gave “love to hate you but can’t stay away” energy the whole time, and I was here for it.
Okay friend… let’s talk about Mia because this one?
This was a really good way to end the series.
And I’m not even saying that lightly, because after being this invested in the Dillingers, I needed something that actually felt complete. And this gave that.
First of all… Titan.
Yeah… I loved the growth.
Because if you’ve been reading from the beginning, then you already know he was not always moving like this. But here? He felt more mature, more grounded, more intentional. And I appreciated that so much for him and for Mia. It felt like he finally understood what it meant to really show up for someone without all the extra.
And Mia?
It took her a minute.
And I’m glad it did.
Because it felt real. She didn’t just fall into it or suddenly change overnight. You could see the hesitation, the internal back and forth, the need to protect herself… but once she got there?
She was all in.
And I loved that shift.
Because when they finally aligned, it felt solid. Not rushed, not forced… just two people choosing each other fully.
And that’s what made them work for me.
Now let’s talk about what really carried this book, and honestly this whole series…
The family.
Every time the siblings show up for each other, it just hits. The loyalty, the chaos, the way they’re always in each other’s business but still have each other’s backs no matter what… it never gets old. And seeing everyone here, together, living their lives, growing, building families of their own?
Yeah… that part meant something.
It made the ending feel full.
And of course… the twists.
Because this series never lets you get too comfortable, and this book kept that same energy. Just when you think you know how things are going to play out, something shifts, and you’re right back locked in.
But overall?
This felt like a proper ending.
Not perfect, not overly dramatic, just… right.
It wrapped things up while still letting you feel like these characters are going to keep living beyond the pages, and I always love that.
I really enjoyed this one.
It was emotional in a quieter way, satisfying, and a strong close to a series that has been consistently entertaining.
We waited so long for this story and it was so worth the wait.
I could not imagine how this story turned out to be. I literally was expecting a kidnapping. I was wondering who was going to get kidnapped and it turns around and becomes a death. A hard death at that.
Kimberly started this book off with a shocker and then not even 20 pages in we get another shocker. Then the death happens and changes everything.
Now if we've been paying attention, we knew Mia and Titan's book was going to be a little crazy. They are both very hot headed, very crash out and very opinionated separately. You could always tell that Titan wanted more and he wanted not to continue to go on that emotional roller coaster, and really love Mia like she deserved. Their history and what they went through since childhood cause that to be a little bit difficult.
It was so beautiful to watch them to become not only soft, but vulnerable and show their emotions like never before. We got to see the cracks of their hard exterior break. Them going to therapy and actually worked together and individually to be their best versions.
Now the action was action-ing in this book! No notes. Really good. Them two together and their methods of torture was crazy!
Now the spice was SPICING!!! They gave Maceo and Shar a run for their money lol. Mia and Titan talked each other through it! They had A TIME! ❤️❤️❤️
Titan and Quaid definitely stepped in and gave them Dillinger brother's how it is to truly cherish their women. Not saying the brother's didn't show up but them two.... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I also want to bring up their brotherhood and how they stayed being there for one another. Love it so much. ❤️
This was a good conclusion to the siblings. Can't wait for Senior's book because he needs love too. All the baby mama's are married off now.

Mia and Titan’s story was EVERYTHING! It pulled on every single emotional string, weaving together themes of grief, love after loss, healing, and the beauty of new life. Watching their evolution throughout this journey was nothing short of amazing, starting right from the jump with the surprises. Titan and Mia were holding onto a secret so shocking it set the tone for everything to follow, but then came the heavy stuff. Their initial toxicity unfortunately pushed them to a breaking point where the unthinkable happened, and the grief was raw and devastating. I loved how the story transitioned into healing. It was so powerful to see Titan take that initial step, recognizing he needed help to navigate his grief. By standing "ten toes down" for Mia, his unwavering love eventually led her to realize she needed help as well. They even used their healing process to seek vengeance together as a unified front. Then came the true growth; seeing Titan and Mia love each other "out loud”, communicating and choosing one another even while navigating the shadows of depression and jealousy. They truly desired to be happy and present for their village while still honoring their own complex feelings. One thing is for sure: Titan and Mia did not play about each other! Finally, we got the happiness they deserved. It was all there, the hugs, the kisses, the words of affirmation, and that raw, passionate "loving each other down." Author Kimberly Brown’s writing style makes it almost impossible to choose a favorite sibling, but I’m venturing to say this story of growth and redemption takes the crown for me. A job well done! It is so incredibly hard to say goodbye to the Dillingers.
We all know Mia from previous books, refusing to be submissive and taking Titan through it. In this one, we got to see a different side of her. She went from hard body to vulnerable, and eventually more submissive. By the end, no matter what her husband said, she listened. That growth was clear. That’s all he wanted, and honestly, that’s all everyone wanted for them. Everybody was tired of seeing them go through it.
Mia and Titan’s situation really hit. I didn’t think I would feel it like that, but when Titan said he just needed a minute, I felt that and I teared up with him.
I’m so happy for Maddie. Senior definitely played in her face, but she still found love. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t want Senior happy too. I really wish he found someone. Everybody else is married and he’s just the single father. Why you do him like that, Kimberly. Is this his karma for breaking hearts. He redeemed himself. He’s the best father, grandfather, and fur grandfather. That man even taking care of the pets 😭
Quaid is still my favorite. My heart melted every time Jaeda wanted something and he just said “okay, love.” That man was going to make it happen no matter what.
Overall, this was an amazing series. Ms. Kimberly has never written a book where I forgot the details. Her stories stick with you. I read these books when they first came out and still remember everything. That’s what makes her a great writer.
And with so many authors starting to lean into AI, which is noticeable, you can tell her writing is real. It’s raw and it makes you feel something.
I never want her to stop writing.

Rating 4.5⭐️ Mia: The Dillinger Chronicles is heavy, emotional and the kind of story that leaves your chest aching long after you finish. It didn’t just pull emotions out of you it ripped them out.
Mia and Titan have always been fire and gasoline. That love hate tension was PALPABLE. Mia is so used to surviving, protecting herself, staying in control that loving someone fully feels almost unnatural to her. I completely understood not wanting to lose yourself in someone. Truly loving someone gives them the power to destroy you. Titan that man never wavered. Never folded. Even when loving her came with chaos attached. Did he lose his shiiii from time to time yes. That was their toxic push and pull situationship that carried into marriage.
😭😭😭😭 NOTHING could’ve prepared me for where this story went. That tragedy 💔💔💔💔 I was done. Tears everywhere. The ugly cry too not the cute little watery eyes. It felt like grieving with them instead of just reading about it.
Through all the tears and therapy, out of all that pain, pressure, heartbreak and loss something solid was formed. Something stronger. They didn't fold under the weight and pressure. A whole diamond forged in the middle of devastation. I hated that it took tragedy to force certain truths to the surface but once Mia and Titan finally stopped fighting each other and developed healthy tools of communication 🤎 it was beautiful to witness.
If this really is the end of the Dillingers, what a way to close it out. This didn’t feel rushed. Didn’t feel empty. It felt earned, emotional, sadly complete. A painful but epic wrap up to a family and series that clearly left a mark.

This was a great ending to the Dillinger Chronicles. Ms Kimberly plays no games with that pen of hers. The book started with straight heat from the gait. Mia and Titan’s toxicity had bee such a crazy ride. They went through and survived so much. The heartbreak i the beginning with the loss of their baby girl was so sad. That broke them and built them back together. I was happen to see the mental health representation in the story and the layers of it. Mia was dealing with the grief from loosing their baby on top pf the postpartum and that was heavy for her to deal with. I loved how Titan didn’t play any games about Mia and just poured into her so much. They poured into each other. The whole Dillinger clan showed up for them in their time of need. It was great to see how all the men showed up and created a safe space for Titan to let his walls down and cry, just be vulnerable. Now aside from all the deep emotions…..they had hella spicy moments and I was here for all the nasty time! LOL They got their grove back and finally was ready to handle business with that monster in Paris. I am glad Jacques his ass got handled and that horrible human trafficking ring shut down. Kimberly you did your big one! This was so good and I didn’t want it to end. Like maybe a short book for Senior pretty please!
Mia & Titan!! ❤️❤️I enjoyed this book!! Mia and Titan were struggling in the beginning. Titan didn’t wanna argue, but Mia did. She felt like if she opened up she was being weak, and she was stubborn and not really listening, which led to something traumatic that honestly changed both of them. After that, Titan pushed her to go to therapy because he really wanted them to work. I did like that they were trying, but I’m not gonna lie, after that first therapy session it felt like everything just clicked too fast. The arguing and toxicity kinda just disappeared, and I wanted to see more of them still working through it instead of it feeling like they were instantly healed.
I really liked that Titan showed up, pushed her to do better, and made it clear he just wasn’t going no where. lol And the Dillinger clan? They don’t play about each other and I love that every.single. time.. I will say some parts, like the revenge, felt a little too easy, but that’s minor. Overall this book was a banger. And I lowkey feel like this series isn’t done… like Senior’s situation with the baby mamas should’ve been the first book and then the Dillinger clan stories came after.
Overall, I really liked this series❤️❤️I struggled with it in the beginning and even skipped a couple books, but I do feel like the writing got better toward the end. I’m really glad I stuck around.
