Mick Sinatra is doing all he can to let his sons handle his powerful syndicate, while he handles his international corporation. He is trying his best to delegate and ease up.

But when tragedy strikes, and Mick is blindsided, he reverts to form and avenge every person who sought to do his family harm.

Great addition to the series

This book is a solid 4.5. This time the author showed more than told, and the storyline did not feel so stale. It would be nice to have a story of them facing their issues as a family without the high drama of some mystery person trying to kill them. The mystery was fun this time, but the richness of the family’s dysfunction and the road to healing would be really interesting reading. I like the addition of Nikki also. She seems really cool. My one complaint besides editing errors is the constant mention of the wives races. Anyone this far into the series knows that Jenay and others are African-American. It does not need mentioning in every book. With that said, it was a knock out of the park in comparison to her last book in the series.

Mallory did it again!

I loved this book! I could not put it down. The drama, suspense and mystery was on point. When will people learn, when you mess with one family member, you bring the wrath of the entire Gabrini/ Sinatra family down on you. I love how the entire family rallies around each other in time of need. What happened to Rosalind was heart breaking, but the way Mick and family got retribution was genius.

I just love Mick and Rosalind's love for each other. Roz is the only woman to bring stability in his life. She was the only one who was truly loyal and loving to him. He would protect her and his family above all else. I love how all of these alpha Sinatra / Gabrini men just love their wives and turn to them to keep them balanced. I can see a new relationship in the future for Teddy and Nikki Tarvet, especially after his talk with Tommy.

I can't wait for more adventures to come.

As Always, a good read. I love me some Mick!!!

I will not leaving a review. Everyone knows I'm bias and I love me some Mick. I cannot wait for the next installment. Please hurry up and release that one. I'm also waiting to read more about Teddy and Nikki. That's gonna be good. Really good- the build up already has me excited about their potential story...please deliver. I'm also excited that Mick's kids will get help. I'm rooting for Gloria. I hope her character grows and matures in a positive way and she finally becomes the woman she has the potential to be. I hope Joey gets it together also. I'm waiting on the next Brent story. I'm so invested in these books. Please release more, soon. Anywho, this book was AWESOME. Until next time. I'm out.

Another great book but not so great editing.

There was enough typos and grammatical errors to prove a distraction to the storyline. I usually love how fast she cranks these out, but this needed more time in editing. I’m also starting to think this universe is expanding at state that’s diluting it too much. I love the Gabrini men and the Sinatra men, but can do without the adopted Sinatra daughter and her man having two books and his Brother and their sudden sister! You left Jimmy Mack twisting in the wind after one book and never bothered to explain how he got from immature kid to Sal’s replacement. I’d rather have fewer books about newly expanded ancillary characters and more about the ones I love.

Hit it out the ballpark! I always enjoy Ms. Monroe's writing. I was shocked at the ending thinking I knew why the villain had done what he did. Just goes to show you, never assume. Keep them coming please. It is very difficult to find quality reading. I love, not just the romance and sex, but a captivating story, intelligent characters. The authors that give me that are Mallory Monroe, Sydney Addae, Mikayla Lane. With those authors I don't have to read the description, once they have released a title I jump right into it and can't put it down until the end.

Mr. Monroe knows how to write a damn book!!

I really do appreciate the balance between sex, crime, suspense, action, drama and humor. I’ve recently read books where sex just saturated the book. Every single page. Now don’t get me wrong, sex is good, but if there is no kind of substance to the book, you’ve lost all of my attention.

From book one in this series, I’ve been on the edge of my seat. Great writing skills and plot.

Can we take the time out and appreciate that Teddy likes a fuller figured woman?! YAS!!!

Happy reading, friends! ❤️📖

Mick The Tick !!!!!!

Although I enjoyed reading this book it it could have been better. Mick never needed anyone to go to war with. All of a sudden the Gabrini family is in his story. Let Mick be the one they come running to. Mick is a BAD BOY.!!!! Very well established in his own right. I love Roz. Teddy need a woman...
I can't wait until the next installment of The Gabrini family or The Sinatra family.

Fantastic!!!!!

Another great installment from Mallory. A great plot from start to finish, excellent twist at the end. We get to see a different side of Mick but the ruthless gangster is very much still there. I liked the introduction into the personality of Teddy. I cannot wait to read more of his story. This book was well written, excellent grammar and punctuation as always. I would definitely recommend it.

Revenge

Revenge is really blind that instead of JD appreciating Mick killing their enemy he was mad that he didn't

killed him himself. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and finished it in one day. I all Mick

children but my goes out for Gloria and I hope therapy help to her full potential. I was hoping to get a

sight of Gio, but maybe Mallory saving that for when Gloria had her own story, which I hope is soon

after Teddy story of course.

Another winner from Ms. Monroe. The Sinatra's stay true their characters while continuing to grow, even the Tic .Each story is exciting and action packed. The scene when Roz was beaten had me talking out loud to the fool that dared to touch her. I'm hoping that the next story is a love story for Teddy

Good Story but with issues

This as usual was a good story. It had all the usual suspense, drama and hot romance. But the editing was off parts seemed to cater to a different audience .parts also felt rushed. I really liked this series, but the writing felt off. I'm still a fan, and maybe it was just me but not as well written as most.

A Very Good and Exciting Interracial Romance

Mick Sinatra: Heat Wave is a very good and exciting interracial romance novel that earned a rating of four stars. I enjoyed reading this installment of the Mick Sinatra series. It is just as exciting as the other installments and I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading very good romance novels.

Dang

She did it again. I love the story line lots of action,intrigue and sex. I love the way you introduced Nicki. I hope she is the one for Teddy. The interaction between Mick and his kids is getting better. Gloria is still a mess and I hope Tony helps. I am waiting for Tony and Teddy's book. Please don't leave me in stiches for long.

☺️☺️☺️

Great story line,,, it amazes me just how Mick is always 10 steps ahead of the other guys! However, it also makes you wonder if Teddy and Joey will ever be able to step up and take the reigns... Well, Teddy maybe but Joey,,, I dunno!!!! 😏 he has some serious growing up to do!

They just keep getting better

I truly love these characters and these storylines. The only thing I don't like is all the involvement Mick still has with his grown kids mother's. These women feel so entitled, thinking that they can get away with anything. This guy, JD, is definitely a great protagonist. How many years did he wait and plot for Mick's family destruction.

Love me some Mick the Tick

Awww...I just love Mick and Roz! They are becoming my favorite Sinatra/Gabrini couple. Now it’s time for Teddy to get some romance which I think will be hot and steamy. I’m already liking his love interest...bring on the next book.

Enough with Mick...
Enough with Mick stories, the "kids" are too annoying and he's too anti everything besides Roz and having sex. Enjoyed this one like always but I'm ready for some fresh stories, a Teddy, Tony, Amelia, hell I'll take Carly, Brent or any of the others at this point.
