The entire Gabrini clan comes together in this explosive new interracial romance about love, and lost, and family.

Reno Gabrini is the ultimate family man. Although he works harder than he should, and often finds it difficult to spend the kind of quality time he deeply wants to spend with his family, whenever they need him, he is always there. That’s why, when Tommy and Grace need a break after Grace suffers a traumatic event in Seattle, Reno urges them to come to Vegas and be with the family. Sal Luca also comes along for the ride, to the delight (and anguish) of Gemma Jones, and Jimmy begins to come into his own as Reno’s right hand man.

But Reno’s love of family is put to the test in a dramatic way when the ghosts of his past attempts to spook him again. And the love affair he has with his wife becomes the only source of strength he has, until that, too, gets tested.

The seventh installment of the Mob Boss series finds Reno and Trina, Tommy and Grace, and Sal and Jimmy Mack celebrating life and family, even as the past seeks to undermine their joy.

I liked this book I love Reno and his crew I can't wait to see what happens with Sal ,Jimmy and Tommy. There story is going to be so good . I think Reno needs to retire I can't take anyone else hurting his family.I say that knowing as soon as Reno has another book I will be reading it. This story was exciting and kept me on my toes until the last page.

I'm really enjoying Tommy and Grace even when we still don't have the full story of what happened with Shanks. I don't know what's going on with Sal but I want to read more about him as well now. Jimmy is really coming into his own and I can see him getting into a bunch of trouble. It's time to add some additons into the family, Reno and Trina are starting to get boring. Let's see what happens next.

I'll always love this series, due to Reno Gabrini. He was one of the first alpha males I've encountered in books. He takes what he wants, when he wants and doesn't apologize for his actions. He could care less about what other people think about him and he'll do whatever it takes to protect what's his. Sometimes you just want to slap him because he is so overprotective of his wife, Trina, but it's for good reason. Their family is always a target, but sometimes the drama becomes a little overwhelming in these books. How much can one family take? Horrible circumstances follow Reno and Trina in every story, so the plots are getting a little thin. I don't really think the writing has improved in this series either. The sex scenes are kind of bordering on creepy at times with the descriptions as well. I really do enjoy the characters and as I stated already, Reno will always be one of my favorite possessive men, but I would actually like to see a plot that doesn't have to do with Reno's enemies trying to kill him or anyone from his family and hopefully Jimmy Mack finds a special someone in the near future. He deserves someone to love.

Another adventure in the day and life of Reno Gabrini. I swear Reno has more enemies than Bin Laden, but it always makes for an interesting read. Reno is his usual domineering self that puts family first, but its the supporting cast that makes this book interesting especially Jimmy. He is really coming into his own, and it is going to be interesting to see if he chooses the good or bad side because he is certainty teetering. I'm anxious to see what is going to happen between Sal and Gemma. I think they are a surprise and will be a juicy pairing.

Dayum we are fools gone leave Reno and his family alone? Tommy and Grace might go through so of the same mess as Reno and Trina do. Sal needs his on book now, I have been waiting for him to get a liking to drown sugar for the longest time. Gemma might just be the one for him, this book was good from the beginning to the end.

A Very Good Interracial Romantic Thriller

Reno's Gift (The Mob Boss Series Book 7) is a very good interracial romantic thriller that earned a rating of four stars. This is another great installment o the Mob Boss Series about the Gabrinis . It is exciting, sensual and Suspenseful thriller that finds Reno Gabrini fighting to keep his family safe from his enemies. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading very good interracial romantic thrillers.

Finally at least I am beginning to finish this series.

Throughout the whole series I think the main theme is how much Reno loves Trina and his family and not matter what comes against him so long as he has the love of his wife and family then he is good to go. I won't comment on all the books in the series unless something really stands out for me.

I am enjoying the series.

😌😌😌

It was great to have pretty much equal time amongst the Gabrini's that is. But I have to say that this one had kind of muddled up the timelines for me and I'm a bit confused here.
Guess I'll have to read on. 🥴

Very good! I always enjoy the suspense in trying to find out who is the person who kidnapped the baby and Reno's sister, Fran. Good storyline! Now, onward to Mob Boss #8!

3.5 stars

Again, I liked the story and the characters. However, I can't stress enough how much I disliked having to make grammar/ebonic corrections while reading. It REALLY REALLY took away from my overall reading experience. Now with that being said, because I like the storyline and I'm a glutton for punishment, I will probably read more stories in series because I like them. Perhaps someone might go back and proof the stories again (hint to author). I'm just saying....

I can't believe I am still enjoying this series. The plot is basically the same with each book. I guess its Ms. Monroe excellent writing that keeps me totally engross in the story. I love Reno and Trina together. Keep them coming Ms. Monore.

I think Reno's Gift is the best of the Mob Boss series so far. Kudos to Ms.Monroe for another great story.

Love the Mob Boss series because I love Reno and Tree. However, do not care about Tommy and Grace or Sal and Gemma. This book had way too much of them in it.

Laughed out loud

I finally after a long time laughed out loud while reading a book; not once but multiple times. I loved it. There was high drama and lots of laughs. The romance was light this time as the focus wasn’t the relationship more the family dynamics. I also found Trina less annoying this time around than in previous installments. Definitely worth the price.
