Don’t drink. But if you must, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
Donnie Bosco’s world is darker than most. He strives for control in and out of the board room. His loyalty to his best friend has kept the one woman he has ever wanted off limits.
Gabby Rivera might be the youngest of three sisters, but she’s far from innocent. Attracted to him like a bee to honey, she knows there is no one else for her. But for two years, he’s kept her at bay.
One night at an exclusive members-only club unravels Donnie’s control, and Gabby loves every moment. But she’s no one’s doormat. She might bend to him behind closed doors, but she needs to be more than someone’s dirty little secret. Can Donnie let go and drink in every moment with Gabby? Or will the past hold him back from creating a beautiful future?
**Warning: DRINK contains light BDSM themes that will have you reaching for a fan**
This book was safe from OW/OM drama. There’s some jealousy which I did not mind at all. It’s always nice to read how a man is about to lose it because he sees OMs interested in his girl. If light BDSM bothers you this might not be for you. This did not bother me. There’s also a sex club which hero belonged to and before he met the heroine he joined in the activities. After he meets her he still goes but does not participate in anything. There’s light voyeurism. The sex club also didn’t bother me. He takes her there one time because she asked him to. The heroine was a bit sassy, I liked her, hero not so much with his “I’m not good for her” there’s some unanswered questions like the 2 women he dated before he met the heroine. Also he took an actress to an event and the heroine finds out. I wanted to more about them. Other than their names were mentioned and barely any details we don’t know why the author decided to even shared their names. And what about Gloria (their sister) is there’s going to be a book about her? This woman was a successful, take charge woman that didn’t take any crap from any man. I’d like to read about her.
Both were celibate after meeting. Heroine went on dates but nothing happened after the first date.
Get ready for Gabby & Donnie finally take the plunge and drink each other in! Drink is the final book in the Right Men Series. Donnie and Gabby have been fighting their attraction for years but one night in a private club leads them down a path of discovery. Gabby is strong, determined and oh so sassy she is just finishing up graduate school and yes she may be young but she knows what she wants.! I loved her determination. She realizes that Donnie may have reservations but she lays it on the line and lets him know what she has to offer. Donnie is a man who thrives on routine, he is dominating and a man in charge. He always has everyone's back and never takes a day off but Gabby makes him want more. They have been skirting around this attraction for years and it is time to act. This couple is sweet, sexy and sizzling off the pages, Their chemistry is on point and neither one can deny the pull that has brought them together. I so enjoyed getting to once again visit with all of the characters that made me fall in love with this series. ~~Michele McMullen ~~
I Really liked reading DRINK it is book four in the Right Men series and can be read as a standalone but I would recommend that you read them in order . The characters drew me in from start to finish I didn't want to put my tablet down . We really dive into why the hero did what he did and why he keeps doing it but it was incredible to see his character develop through out the book . I can't wait to read more by this author and of these amazing characters .
This was another fantastic, enthralling read by the awesome Mayra Statham. This is the fourth book in the series and can be read as a standalone.
This book is about Gabrielle and Donnie who we met in previous books. Gabrielle being the youngest has always been coddled by her sister and she hated it even though she loved and appreciated them.
If your anything like me then you have been waiting for Donnies story since the first book in the Right Men series. Donnie had a mysterious way about him. He seemed all cool and collected but deep down he was a mess. And it takes falling for a girl like Gabby to make him open up. This story takes place 2yrs after they first meet at her sisters house. He tries to avoid her but can’t fight the pull she has on him anymore. So after seeing her at the club he goes to, he gives up and takes her home.
*Now I Love Donnie but his “I want her but I’m bad for her” was getting repetitive and annoying towards the end. *Gabby was a pretty cool character. She knew what she wanted and did everything she could to fight for it, even with her own baggage looming in the background. *They had some really hot/sexy times but I don’t understand why they kept talking about his spare room when they never went in it. All I can remember is them being in the Living room, Kitchen and Master bedroom but don’t take my word for this, I could have missed it. *I loved seeing the guys from the other books but I wished we got more detail on what they’ve all been up to, especially with Gloria. *The ending felt a bit rushed and I was really looking forward to a better conclusion with Donnie and Gabby. Don’t get me wrong, they get their HEA and it was very romantic but I was hoping for more especially with this being the last book in the series.
Overall: This story wasn’t perfect but I still really enjoyed it and would recommend with no hesitation. I recommend the whole series.
Happy Reading Everyone🖤🤓
<<*******SAFETY SPOILERS******<<<***ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK***>>>>>>
Safe: I would consider this book Safe. *No OW/OM drama *No cheating *They are both celibate after meeting. So for the 2yrs he was fighting the attraction he was with no one else. Same with her. *This does have a BDSM feel to it but the actual action is very lite IMO.
I don’t wanna be writing this review!!! I don’t wanna WAHHHHH.... I say that bc once I do that means this series is officially over and as much as I’ve wanted this book doesn’t mean I want this series over with.
Donnie Bosco has wanted Gabby Rivera ever since his best friend met her older sister Grace. Even though he wants her he’s tried everything to keep his distance. He’d hate to loose Marcus, his best friend and with the only real family he’d ever have.
Donnie owes a lot to Marcus and his family. He didn’t luck out getting the best family. But, he did luck out meeting Marcus and his family. The Wright family have become his family.
Gabby Rivera is the youngest in her family. Her sisters are protective of her. They’ve always took care of her. Gabby has wanted Donnie for years but he’s kept her at arms length.
Gabby’s roommate talks her into going to an exclusive members only club one night. They must follow the rules of the club except Gabby wasn’t paying full attention to what the rules were.
Gabby’s not in the club long before her friend runs off and she’s left alone. Gabby decides to walk around and check things out. Then somebody caught her attention. When she got a good look at his eyes she couldn’t believe it was Donnie Bosco under that mask. Gabby is determined to break thru Donnie’s walls one way or another.
Donnie couldn’t believe his Gabby was in Obskwer. Donnie has no idea how he or her friend got here. But, he’s loving what she’s wearing. Until she takes off her mask and he instantly sees red. Donnie doesn’t want anybody to see his Gabby.
That minute changes everything between them. They leave to go back to Donnie’s apartment where all bets and clothes are off.
Gabby and Donnie don’t want to be a one night and done thing. But, it’s not that easy for Donnie. He’s petrified of loosing his family if they found out about them and didn’t approve.
But, these two can’t seem to stay away from each other or their hands off each other. And, lemme tell you these two are sizzling, smoking hot!! These two are clearly in love with each other. Everybody can see it but will these two finally come out to their families. Regardless of what they’ll say.
I’ve said from the very beginning that Garrett was my favorite. ESP since Stefanie was named after me and all but Donnie. Donnie was smoking smoking hot, demanding, sexy and as loyal as they come!! He was legit perfect.
Gabby I’ve always liked. That didn’t change but you def see a different side to her. Gabby loves her sisters and appreciates everything they’ve ever done for her. She has wanted Donnie from that very first night and hated that he’s kept her at arms length. But, she just kept her head up.
Gabby was never afraid to go toe to toe with Donnie. But, when they were behind closed doors she let Donnie dominate things between them but not outside those doors in public. It was amazing watching her try new things and learn what she does/doesn’t like.
Donnie and Gabby are tied in first place with my husband Garrett and Stefanie. I am very very upset that this series is ending but I’m excited to see what Mayra is releasing next!!!
This is Donnie (Marc's best friend) and Gaby (Grace's sister)'s story. Donnie fell instantly for Gaby the minute he met her but out of respect for his best friend he managed to stay away until he runs into her at a certain club. Donnie and Gaby make a perfect couple they are total opposites except when it comes to the bedroom. While she may submit in the bedroom Gaby will not let anyone walk all over her. I enjoyed their story and getting to learn Donnie's story and how he became a member of the Wright family and watch as he struggles with letting go of his past. This is the conclusion to the series. Even though she only makes little appearance in the series I'm going to miss Nicola. I really enjoyed this series and would love to see if Gloria gets a story too.
I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
Buckle up buttercup, because this review may just leave your kindles/electronic devices smoking. Seriously though. Mayra Statham knocked it out of the park with Drink. This book is part of a series, however, I’m certain you can read it as a stand alone without a single issue.
Story Line: Donnie and Gabby’s story is one I will not soon forget. It’s hotter than Hades, for starters. But their story is more than a passionate connection. It’s an age gap trope mixed with best friend’s sister in law and a few other tropes. So truly, Drink is a story for every taste out there. Gabby is about to graduate college. Donnie is already well established and successful in his own right. He’s kept his distance from the apple of his eye for a variety of reasons, one being the fact that she’s his best friend’s sister in law. But a trip to paradise, and guards down is just the right prescription for sparks to ignite. However, Donnie and Gabby’s HEA doesn’t come without bumps in the road – or a giant boulder for that matter. It didn’t matter how many bumps or twist and turns their journey had, it was magical and absolutely perfect.
Interaction: One thing I truly enjoyed about Gabby and Donnie was their ability to communicate in every way imaginable. There were scenes where not a whole lot of spoken dialogue is exchanged, yet there was so much depth and description, that it didn’t matter. I could see their heat and admiration without having to hear the words or physically see the characters. That’s true talent.
Laundry: If you’re in the mood for some naughtiness, you’re in the right place. There’s a little BDSM, a little laundry club action, and there’s just plain hot vanilla too. I assure you, this book will lead to copious amounts of your own play time. Mr. Laundry says he would highly recommend reading this book with your spouse ;)
Depth: Okay, so we get it. This book is hot. The characters are well developed and carefully designed to capture our hearts. But what I haven’t said yet is how much I adored the entire story. The backstory of Donnie will bring tears to your eyes. His inner demons will make you want to give him a giant hug and then tell him to pull his head out of his rear end. And Gabby is that strong and fierce woman we all dream to be. She is freaking Wonder Woman, honestly. Their stories together created a work of art. Drink is everything you’ve ever wanted in a hot new romance novel.
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Donnie finding his happy, especially with the mind games he played. Granted, it was more his demons taking the wheel a few times, but I wanted to smack him upside the head for it. Luckily, Gabby was no man’s fool, so she gave as good as she got AND was the person strong enough to walk away from unfair situations more than once. Gabby and Donnie fit together perfectly and, once Donnie finally saw himself clearly, their future is bright and happy.
Now I have to wonder about Gloria. She obviously needed a break by the end of this book. Will she get it? I sure hope so!
Mayra Statham gives us a story that is deep, it is so sexy, it’s packed full of emotions and it’s a love story that will leave you breathless. ❤️
Gabby and Donnie’s story will have you flipping the pages because you can’t get enough of them. When they are together there is so much sexual tension you could cut it with a knife. And then when they give in.....holy shizzzzzz things get HAWT!!
Beautifully written and a true romance. I loved every single thing about this book.
Donnie and Gabriella’s story was the conclusion of the Right men series and so worth the wait. We met these characters in Lie and fell in love with them then. Sassy Gabby with dominating Donnie, these two make such a perfect pair. The chemistry between them is sizzling. Plus we got to revisit with past characters from the previous 3 books. I am a huge Mayra Statham fan and the way she told the story of Gabby and Donnie was such a page turner. You’ll want to grab this 5 star read
Sweet lord above! I thought Garrett ripped me to shreds but damn Donnie!! This did but in a different way and I loved every word! The connection between Gabby and Donnie is fire!! But soooo much more! He is constantly at war with himself, believing that he does not deserve Gabby and her light. But when they are together the rest of the world disappears. My heart!!! I have absolutely loved this series!!
What an amazing story. These two were brought together by their families whom were married, she is the youngest sister, and him being a little older with not the best reputation. But the heart wants what it wants, has its own feelings, and leads you where you feel the most. These two have hurdles to jump, overcome, yet will survive, and have a beautiful story., loved their story.
Ive been excited for this book to finally come out. I loved these characters. I love how they wernt the typical characters and that is what made them work so well. This book gave me the feels. My emotions were all over the place with this book. I couldn't help but feel the same emotions as the characters because they just jumped off the pages.
I enjoyed this so much. The club makes people let go of their inhibitions and it's there that Donnie finally gives in to his love and attraction for Gaby, as forbidden as it may be. Their chemistry is explosive and the scenes will have you panting. The story just gripped me and I couldn't put it down.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I'm glad Donnie got his HEA.
Gabby is his perfect match inside and outside the bedroom. Gabby balances him out and that is something he needed. I'm glad we got to learn more about Donnie and why he was the way he was.
I would love to see something for Gloria in the future now that this series is over.
This was another fantastic, enthralling read by the awesome Mayra Statham. This is the fourth book in the series and can be read as a standalone.
This book is about Gabrielle and Donnie who we met in previous books. Gabrielle being the youngest has always been coddled by her sister and she hated it even though she loved and appreciated them.
Donnie and Gabby shouldn't be attracted to each other but both can't seem to look at anyone else.
She is his best friends younger sister in law. She should run from him but the pull is there for them both. Can she fit into his life? Will she be what he never knew he needed?
It had been awhile since I read the previous book in the series, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this read so I am comfortable in saying this could be a standalone. I really enjoyed the main characters and loved how everyone was on to them but them! There is only one reason I didn't 5 star it and that was because it took Donnie too long to get over his "she's too good for me" whining.
Omg you will fall in love with Donnie. I loved him and Gabby together. This was a great read and you can't pass this book up. This whole series was one of my favorites. Can't wait to read more from Mayra.
Another wonderful book by Mayra. I was excited for this book as you get a glimpse these two in book 1 and I knew that their chemistry was going to be hot and sexy and I wasn’t disappointed. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series.
I really got sucked into this story so much, I just didn't want to stop reading. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and the storyline itself was very interesting.
Drink by Mayra Statham is book 4 in the Right Men Series. God, I loved Gabby and Don. They were explosive with the sexual tension and so cute. The banter was hilarious. My only gripe is with the repetition. I loved revisiting with the Rights, they were great side characters for Donnie's story.
So hot! I love that this couple finally got their happy ever after. Gabby has been in love with Donnie for quite some time, but always thought Donnie wasn't interested because he only treated her as a friend. She's in for a surprise though when her friend takes her to a special club and she sees Donnie and he can't take his eyes off her. I loved their chemistry! It really steamed up the pages of this book. I'm sensing there are more stories to be told, so I will be on the lookout for them, but I will read whatever Mayra Statham writes.
Drink was so worth the wait. In the final installment of the Right Men series Donnie finally gets his HEA with Gabby Rivera. We got a glimpse of their chemistry in the previous stories, but in this book they let it all out. While Donnie was hesitant to follow through on his feelings. Gabby new exactly what she wanted out of life and a relationship. Getting a glimpse of what happiness and a real home feels like with Gabby, Donnie knows that there is no living without his woman. But one scare could ruin it all for his happiness. Luckily for him, Gabby knows that Donnie is her opportunity of a lifetime, and who wouldn't move heaven and earth to make that statement true. Love how head strong and all in Gabby is, and I want to be like her when I grow up!! This was a Great read, and a Great conclusion to this series. Can't wait for Mayra's next release!!
The informally adopted Donnie Bosco has fallen for Gloria and Grace's sister Gabriella and we now have his story. Not short, it takes these two time to finally meet accidentally at his sex club. From there, things get explosive although Don keeps holding back. The chemistry seems to have only the limits Donnie's control places on it. He is so sure he is bad for her, he seems willing to let her leave him for an overseas internship! Recommended.
