I adore Spider and I'm so glad he got his own book! This whole series was amazing to listen to. Those Irish accents make me melt! Add that to mob men who will do anything or kill anyone for their women, I'm a happy camper. 

y’all I read this in 9 hours! Is it my favorite of the series? No, that belongs to book 2 BUT I will always give 5 stars to a book with a badass FMC! I really really enjoyed this book and getting to know Spider since we’ve known him for 3 books now but not really known him. was the perfect ending to the 4 boon series. and that bonus chapter?

Update: I actually read #1 and re-read #2 and actually like both.
So, this is my comfort read. I love Quinn and Reyna's dynamic and I always come back to it. So, I have to amend my rating.


2.5 It's written better than the rest. The pairing makes the most sense. The banter between them is pretty funny but does become stale after a while because it's just her insulting him. The sexual tension and the sex scenes are mostly great. Except the anal scene without any lube and just going, literally, balls deep in one thrust. Da fuq?! That's NOT the way to go about doing that! That is not hot and sexy. That is unbearably painful and should be considered assault.

It starts getting really ridiculous 85% in, which isn't bad. Reyna has no experience running the mafia but yet she becomes the head of the five families. LMAO! Like, wtf?! She was beaten and tortured by her husband for 14 years. He was a full out psychopath and no one did anything. Family is everything, but not really. lol. Then she poisoned him. She did become a mean cook in that time. But none of that makes her leadership material, especially for the Mafia. LOL.

And another thing. The gratuitous killing. Spider's entire family, forty-two people, were systematically killed off by the Serbian Mafia because he had relations with one of their wives. lololol, What?! Like, you don't think that shit would have been obvious in Ireland, and drawn a shit ton of police and media attention? Forty-two members of the same family being murdered separately but within a short timeframe? Pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!! Someone help the writers of this genre inject some realism in their writing. If this had been the cartel? Sure, maaaaaaaybe. But, a bunch of white people being murdered?! In a Western country?! And that being the end of it?! lolol

A tus pies te adoraré por toda la eternidad."

Reyna was my favorite FMC out of the whole series and I’m so happy everything worked out for me. Having all the powerful men show her so much respect but also scared of her was a favorite part.

I loved Spider in the other books and seeing him finally have a happy ending was the perfect way to end the series! Seriously can’t get enough! I look forward to reading more books from this author. I hope the 13 gets a book series.

The ending of the 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 series delivers a heavy dose of fire, tension, and deep character payoff. Reyna comes into her own. She is strong, deeply loyal, and refuses to let anything stand in her way. She’s been a survivor for so long, and now she’s finally free to lead.

Spider has always been a scene-stealer, but in this book, he shows new depth. The arranged marriage storyline was hard to watch, but it gave the story with Reyna more meaning. Their chemistry is sharp, their conversations are heated, and when they finally come together, it’s all-consuming.

I still feel frustrated about Starvos. Loyalty means everything in this world, and letting him off felt like a misstep. It broke the rules the book had taught us to expect.

That said, this finale has high stakes, emotional payoff, and unforgettable characters. For dark romance readers who love loyalty, power plays, and fiery passion, it’s a must-read.
