First I have been a MM fan forever BUT lately I feel like she just cranks out these book without really putting effort into them. They have become quick and light reads but they could be so much more. In the latest, Reno is screwing up and here comes a potential new love interest for Trina. THAT's good stuff but it falls flat. Why not have her leave him and make him earn her back. have real competition for her affections. He does not put her first. I hate all this "Reno can tell me what job I can take" crap. I get he is an alpha but she is not his slave--she's a grown as woman and he treats her like she is a preteen. I also tire of the Reno cheats everyone says so but I believe him crap. I also feel like MM is recycling stuff from her other books. Didnt we have this video crap before with Mich or Sal???? I like the little mysteries that MM puts in her book but for my $5 or $6, I deserve, we all deserve so much more.

Don't mess with Reno and Trina

Boy, Mallory never fails to deliver. She writes stories that are well plotted and written full of drama and suspense. Reno was shook up this time, realizing he could possibly lose the love of his life because of neglect. The possibility was real this time. Trina found herself attracted to someone other than Reno, but she understood that only happened because of his neglect and the lies others were telling. Trina is the real ride or die chick only because she knows that Reno loves her and is loyal to her.

I just love how Mallory portrays Dommi and Sophie's relationship. They have the typical sibling relationship. They love each other but work on each other's nerves too. It's so cute. I can't wait for him to grow up and have his own series. Jimmy Mack is maturing very well. I'm so proud of him.

Good job Mallory, as always.

I love the whole series, I have been reading about this family for years, the story lines always keep me on the edge of my seat waiting to see how they survive the drama and keep their family safe. I have read some comments about the series having the same storyline, just different names, I can't agree with that, it's the best family saga, which I hope never ends. I started with the first book of Reno & Trina I will read anything written by this author, she just make it so real for me, no one is prefect, but they are perfect for each other. I was worried there a few times that they were headed for heartbreak, but they both kept their head came together as an unbeatable team and defeated their enemies once again, plus I love the children character, one, calling no names need his own storyline now and it's not Jimmy.

OMG...I love Trina and Reno!!!

This was touch and go for a minute there. I always knew that Reno, would never cheat on Trina. But for a minute there I was loosing faith. But as usual Reno, was, is, and always will be the man!!!! I like new comer Alex Drakos. I hope he's here to stay! Now he just needs a lady love. Not Trina! This particular story was a total wake up call for Reno. Now he truly knows the value of his wife and children. And to never take them for granted. Trina is a badass! She actually saved the day, and Renos' Ass! She's a true "Ride Or Die Chick". I would love to see this entire series come to life on the small screen, with the new network "PASSIONFLIX". Mallory are you listening...?! Hint, hint😜👍.

Reno and his loves

Mallory, I am your number one FAN.. Yes, I said it. These books should be made into a t.v. Series... All the Gabrinis...I've read and LOVE them ALL💝💗
Your books are the only books I purchased at full price on opening day. And the only books I read in on sitting. I took off from work to run a few errands that would require me to wait patiently😉 reading my book.
God you have to just love Reno...this is a man desperately in love with his woman.. He would die to save her over his own children. Mallory, you never cease to entertain and make me smile 😃.. I love your work. And as always, you know I'm going to ask for more. I'd like to have back door Tommy for Christmas.

Another good book about my favorite Mallory Monroe couple and children. Reno needed to be reminded of what was really important . I like the fact that it ended in a HEAFN, it left enough loose ends for more to come. And leaves two wealthy and powerful men in Trina's life that have a thing for her Mick the Tick and Alex D. Reno will need to stay on his toes.

Another good read.

Love the new cover. Reno and Trina are amazing. Trina is Reno's ride or die chick. I do like Alex. Domini should be much older now. At least I was hoping. All and all I enjoyed another venture of the Gabrini family. I will be stalking Amazon next month for the next installment of The Gabrini/Sinatra family. Thanks for making my day.

I’m a lover of Reno and Katrina (Tree), and once again I thoroughly enjoyed their story and seeing the growth in their marriage. If you’ve never followed a book series, then I strongly recommend reading Mallory Monroe’s books. I am definitely hooked on all the Gabrini/Sinatra men and women, and now I’m intrigued by more new characters like Alex Drako, Trevor and Hammer Reese... Read on!

Loved it

I was wondering what story would work for Reno and Trina and I'm glad to say, that this story was on point. Not action packed as so e of the other stories,but enough for someone Reno's age. Now when is Jimmy Mack and Oprah 's story get told

[Marion Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

She did it again!

Just when I think she can't write another,can't put down book, she's just that. There is always a secondary villain that I overlook that adds to the suspense. I was also happy to see Trina stand up to the most alpha of the Gabrini men. Well done. Keep them co.

Ok......

Now I love reading Mallory Monroe books, but this one fell short. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed reading this book it kept me turning pages. But with this family I expected more. Keep them coming and I will continue to support you. Now it's time for Jimmy Mack love life to be back on track. I miss Sal also it's time for Gem to get in on the action to. U til next month.

This was a good read.

I love these stories. This was one of the best, more direct family issues, some old business and some new, the children , their roles just a good all around read. Great job. Keep them coming.

Thanks Ms Monroe just keep them coming. I'm fan for life.

It was a fun read about characters that I have read about for years. Going back in the story with Mallory Monroe is as good as her writing has ever been. The strength of Katrina had its origins and we get to see what she had to put up with.

Loved it!

I loved this book and how it showed that sometimes even Trina is tempted and Reno better watch out. I loved the introduction of Alex Drakos' which I read all of the books about him and loved them.

[Nycskpe · Rating 4 out of 5]

😵‍💫🥴😏

I dunno about this one!!! There was so much hype in the beginning that had me thinking wow,,, how were they going to get through all of that mess; only to have it all concluded rather blandly in the last chapter!!!!
Definitely not one of the authors better books!

DW1

It was ok, do not have much to say but, Trina does not need those 3 so called friends and, what's the point of mentioning tommy/grace if they won't in the book.

[Debra Crosby · Rating 4 out of 5]

it was a quick read with some action but what made the story was any part that included Dommi. The kid was hilarious

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great installment to this series. Love the Gabrinis. Spelled correctly and not with an apostrophe s.

Always Good

Reading about Reno and Trina is always good. They always seem to have people trying to break them up. Their is no Reno without Trina. Can't wait for the next book.

[Clara James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ride or die

I read this one out of sequence. However, it was definitely Trina and Reno fashion. Trina shows much patience with Reno and his empire. Excellent job Me Mon

[Tanielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Always keeps me going…
These always find a way to pull me into them but I still hate how the stories have issues that seem big but nothing really comes from them but a few short page turns.

[Fern · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good! I also like that Trina is a ride or die spouse and she is also strong! I loved the ending with that rascal Dommi! Too funny!
