The Irish Don's Black Beauty: The Finale
The Grand Finale to the Greatest Love story ever told!
Conner O'Shea
With my Beauty gone, I've fallen into hell. I've stripped away everything she loved about me, out of guilt, in an attempt to forget and move on. I've become a shell of my former self. Where once before I could find some joy, now I'm simply a monster. I've changed so much even I don't recognize myself. Who is Conner O'Shea without Kahlani Edwards? No one.
The moment I said goodbye to her was when the little humanity I had left was sealed away. The boy hoping for normalcy is gone and left in his place is a cold, ruthless Beast who failed to protect his Beauty. Those who know me now refer to me as Don Balor.
The savage beast inside me grows every day I'm without her, and every night I'm forced to relive my greatest mistake. In the depths of my soul, I feel her calling for me to find her because she can't be gone, yet evidence tells me otherwise. On the week of my Beauty's twenty-second birthday, a tip comes in that rocks not only me but my entire organization. Now, even more than before, it's time for me to show no one is off-limits when they cross Don Balor.

Wow!
What a great ending to a great story. Connor and his brothers are some sick puppies. They had some unanswered questions like who was the baby that they adopted was it Margo baby. I can’t wait for the brothers stories. I would recommend.

I’m not crying…..you are
I never wanted this book to end at all. But it is because she finish this book with a bang. Getting to relive the whole story again is amazing and never gets old. Rose Marie did it again and again. I’m so glad I came across her books and I’m happy I can see how her journey with her books and how hard working done.

By the time the ending came around I was tired of these two. Connor had gotten crazier and it seemed like some of it rubbed off on Kahlani. So I was over it and ready to move on. The book was still good like the other 2. This one is darker and more gruesome though. All in all it was a good series.

Thank you God 🙏
This series is everything one will ever need. The love you put into these people are just so amazing. Beauty and her Beast had thinking of every eye makeup tip because I read this book in one night. Conner O'Malley is a lovable killer that will do anything to protect his family and love.

This book was ok
The first one was the best because it was so real and raw this book was tame an I accept that one got to do what they got to do for their art. I didn't like the repeat part and I didn't like how Carter pain was taken down to a 4 in the other book before you knew he was mad and sad. This it kind of hint at it, and I understand that the writer tone down Carter jr. but in the first book he was funny and you knew his pain was real because you saw he didn't trust so easily when told everyone he would whip them if they didn't show his mom respect and not stare at her and the part where he said I will whip them was him taken his belt off an demanding respect for his.mom in this one one it was mild, in the first one you knew him and his mom had been through something bad and that he wanted everyone to respect her and he wasn't backing down until everyone gave it to her,and he part where he talk to his dad was changed the fire one let you know he was a smart little boy and knew what was happening around him this time I was like No no ,because he was like ok you my dad in the other he was like you hurt me mom and I will hurt you and right there you knew this kid wasn't shy he knew what was going on in his home with his mom and her boyfriend and he wasn't going to let her be hurt again plus I love the first one where he eat the doughnuts and lie about it to her an then go yes I ate them mummy. That part warm my heart this time it was taken out . I understand that the first book was to violent but it work may tame it a little but it show the pain and suffering of everyone. I get it. This time it was ok. I will always read her books because she can write and her characters always have passion that can relate to real feelings. Happy reading😊.

I can't wait to read about Cain and Charity book
I can't wait to read about Cain and Charity book.
I've read this series before when it was just a two part, rather than 4 part. And For some reason it wasn't showing that I've read it, and my review for the books were no longer showing up or available. That is an also frustrating on it on. I thought that this was a new book that just came out, and I was excited just to find out it something I've read just a tad bit re-edited.
Either way this book series is a good one to read. it is slightly different from its Original Works, but it still hit it in the right spot. I have to say I enjoy the rawness of the old one, but this one was good enough, I do hope that Rose Marie will come out with Cain book soon. That's the book that I was hoping to get my hands out.
Cain and Charity's book is one I cannot wait to read and look forward to reading. I hope she will have their book out soon, since it been a long time waiting. I can't wait to see if Remi maybe grows up a little, from being a brat. Just rereading how she acts and treats her sister is annoying, and I'm hoping she grows up from it. But I can't wait to read about these two "besties" lol.

Ending the year with one of my favourite books!!! Started reading the series earlier this year and the cliffhanger had me sooo mad but the finale made up for all the disappointments. I loveeeeeee the Don’s unconditional love for his black beauty and wee ones. The plot twist was crazy but because I read the reviews it lokey got ruined for me, but I liked seeing the development. I felt every emotion reading this book and I’ve come to the conclusion that if I’m not loved like Kahlani, ion want it. The next series looks very promising but realistically the O’Shea brothers never disappoint. Rose Marie definitely redeemed herself with this masterpiece.

Nice
So u think book 2 was the best. The climax of this book was a lil anticlimactic...
SPOILER👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
For the betrayal that was done by Ole dude, there's NO WAY that he shoulda been THAT unprepared with the years that he's known Conner like come on🙄 I feel like it shoulda lasted longer (the abduction) along woth more traumea to zero in on the severity. It was comical hoe easy the rescue and tortute was😐
I love Carters lil personality tho. The ending seemed a bit rushed, I woulda loved to see her give birth and hoe Conner dealt with that a whatnot. This series has certainly made me more interested in mafi books🙌🏾

Don Balor
They found out!!! Conner is so far past the crazy I thought he was. He really is a real live Chucky. I just love lil Carter tho. His lil azz gonna be just like his daddy. I can't believe O'Malley. Did he not see what he did to his own father. What would possess him to betray Conner like that when for one Conner was a kid when he did what he did and for two his wife and son wasn't even dead. Him and Stanky as Beauty calls her should have known better. I'm glad him and Beauty is back on one accord. Him calling Chrissy Sunshinetictac is hilarious. I can't wait to read more from this author.💌💌

Irish ☘️ Green
Listen!!!!!! All three books had me running through so many darn emotions. 😂😂😂 TOP TIER!!!!!!!!! I loved every single thing about The Irish Don s black beauty from to the characters and how each person played their part. From the scenes Don Balor created 😈😂. To the scenes with the Don and Donna 😈😈 Just all of it. I laughed, cried, then I was angry and nervous then laughed and cried some more. So good!! My favorite out of all three books is Carter! Baby Balor! That wee one was the star of the 3rd book. He don’t play about his Ma. Great Book BRAVO 🙌. On to read the 4 th installment

Balor and His Beauty
Beauty had been missing for 5 years and Balor was in full on psychotic mode. He celebrated Beauty's birthday every year since she disappeared. This year someone contacted one of his henchmen to meet them at a public place, only they received an envelope with a picture of beauty. Beauty had amnesia and a son who was the spitting image of Balor. The road to Beauty regaining her memory wasn't easy. Baylor was determined to make those pay who kept his heart from him for 5 years. A great read and ending to the trilogy.

Read This Series!!
Whew, what a ride! I could live in Conner and Kahlani’s world indefinitely! Issues mentioned wrt editing and such still existed but did not distract me from enjoying this ridiculously-creative ride. Could have done without the detailed gore (and did skim those bits) but again, didn’t detract in any way. This book made me the most emotional and I loved it! Because of the editing issues, I cannot give full five stars but know this book is worth a read ESPECIALLY when read as a series. Just is a great wrap up…I feel as if these characters had been in my life for ages because of the span and richness of the series.

Fabulous, Fabulous Read
You can have plenty wet dreams reading this series, The O’Shea’s men description is so sexy, I’m sure if you could really see them women would be throwing panties at them. Glad that Beauty came into her own near the end, Christina & Jazz was hilarious, especially when Jazz was trying to get her man Ackman to lay it down. When she gave concoction to those guards I wish it would have had more details and the experience they were going through. This came out 2 years ago how soon will Charity & Cain story come out really want to read that as well.

MY GOODNESS!!!
This has been one of the BEST trilogies that I’ve read in a longtime! I did not want the story to end! There were questions that still needed answers for me. What role did Beauty end up playing in the org? How did they come to adopt Mason? Did I miss those explanations? Overall, this was a great read!

Yeah this was just meh for me...
I enjoyed books one and two...this know not so much. Although I'm a fan of Ms. Rose's work I feel like this one we as rushed and filled with more banter conversations than anything of substance. I gave it 3 stars because they found their way back to one another.

The Irish ☘️ Don’s Black Beauty: Book 3
Best Series hands down! I loved how Connor loved his Kay (Beauty). It was wonderful how the family came together thru their collective grief to support each other. Carter was just like his Daddy. Margo, Stacey, Jensen and O’Malley all got the perfect ending. So glad that the Don & Donna got their HEA ❤️❤️

Love love loved this rerelease!! It really enhanced the story to see more insight into both Connor and Kahlani, not just from their own perspectives, but through their relationships with their loved ones. Carter was absolutely adorable and I'm way too excited for Cain's book!
