Have had this book on my tbr list for awhile glad i finally read it. It was a fast paced good mafia story with some very spicy parts. Does leave on a cliffhanger. Blue is strong mafia princess that only became hard and strong from what she has been through.

It was a good book and the story was written really well. There were parts of the store where i was shocked but then remembered that technically they are not really related. She needed to know what it was to be cared for and loved since her father and mother where to consumed by each other they couldn't seem to understand to love their daughter. Even though she found her family and love it was strange how she found it. They each had their own problems and didn't know how to deal and talk to each other till she came along and her presence made the guys open their eyes. Happy they all got their happily ever after.

I fell in love with Nine but I am obsessed with Trig. Such a great book. To get to know Trigs backstory and how he truly got into the business was a great start to the book. The way he was broken 😢. Spoiler up ahead...................,................. I knew the she devil would end up pregnant i just didn't know how Trig would find out. They truly did break him the things he went through and he survived was a miracle. I knew that dang bank video will come back to haunt them. When he told Nine he cheated broke my heart for her i don't blame him for doing what he thought would get him free only to find out it was another game. When they caught Nine and Mya i knew i would be finishing the book because i would need to know how it would end. Poor Nine when she lost the baby i was hoping somehow maybe she wouldn't. When Trig rescued them i honestly thought Nine wouldn't make it, buy forgot on how much of a survivor she is. When they all got their revenge it was a bitter sweet moment. I truly teared up when Gabriel died 🥺. To see the kids growup and doing what they are doing was so upsetting as a parent lol after all Trig and Nine went through to give them a better life they do that kids i swear. Mya she is the star for me her sassy attitude she kept making me laugh. I do hope this isn't the end to them i would love to know where their story goes. Mrs. Jennifer you did a amazing job telling their story both books are great. Nine and Trig are on my top reads of this year but got to say Trig is my Favorite.

First found out about this book from the authors (Jennifer Raygoza) and i knew i had to have . It did take me awhile to read it since i did have a couple books that i wanted to read before Nine but now i cant believe i wanted to read it🤦♀️. Nine is a survivor stronger then she realizes to do what she has to do to better her life and Jenny, and to make sure her only family/bestfriend has to do what she does. Nine had a hard life never knew Love till Jenny and Trig. I was so pissed when i thought Jenny had betrayed Nine but no she was trying to save Nine trying to make her she that she.deserved so much more in life. Trig didn't only save her from her lifestyle but from herself he made he see what Jenny saw and what he saw. Love Trig and Nine they are truly perfect for each other .

What a great ending to this series. I knew Sierra was a romantic and a women that was strong. The love she has for her family and Xaviers is love of true family that extended to Xaviers family especially his sister who needed someone that wasn't family to be there for her. Losing Grandma Anne was so heartbreaking. They had such a special bond, but for Xaviers family to be there for Sierra even when Sierra and Xavier were not on good terms. She knew what love from brothers and sister were but to have love of Xaviers parents was chefs kiss to me. I knew Xavier was not just a business man, but to understand why makes you get him better and understand the person he acts to be. He truly loved Sierra before they both realized and would do anything for her happiness. I loved that he had all those little keepsakes even if there were mean notes lol. And the book he wrote was the cherry on top. Wonderful book loved every part of it. Cant wait to read about Xaviers brothers and sister.

This series has been so great so far you just love the couple and Lex and Raya are no different this is such a great book. I do feel this book is a little different from all the others. Lex struggle with his trauma and dealing with it the best he know how to feel safe is no different from Dion learning to fly for his wife. He is over protective but after what he went through i don't blame. Raya is a light of sunshine she loves her family and what is she doing. After reading what happened to her mother i don't blame them to feel what they are feeling. But lex won them over with his down to earth personality and actually spending time with both of them. I am so happy that all the girls took Raya in like nothing she is Thr missing piece in their group. And their second wedding sounds just amazing.

Zane loved Celeste and would do anything for her. The beginning of this book were they first try and make so many great memories was so great but the best part for me was when all the boys got on there knees to ask Grandma Anna to let Zane marry Celeste, the love they have for each other and would do anything for each other. It did break me when Celeste didn't believe him after what Lily told her. But pain and hurt do cloud your mind and wont let you see thing clearly. The passion was always there for Zane and Celeste but trust is a hard thing to gain back. Like that instead of the it begin the guy fucked up it was the girl this time and she had to make a mends and apologize and earn his trust again. Happy they got their happy ending.

Such a amazing book. I fell in Love with Dion and Faye just as i have with the other couples but i think Dion is the best. To set Faye free to give her her own choice and freedom without knowing for sure that she would come back. She healed him and helped him heal himself too. The pain and guilt he felt not only for his family but her also broke my heart. Guilt and pain will eat at you and make you feel you don't deserve no happiness. Poor Faye too, to be brought up and molded to be someone's prefect wife and not have any idea who you are is heartbreaking to not be able to speak up or have a opinion to not be loved by your own family. But at the end she got more love then she could ever dream of between Dion and his/her family. They all helped her see she is loved and wanted.
