Dirty Dealings

Rate this book
Tony Lambrianu might look like he's sitting pretty, but when you're the kingpin of a gangland empire you have to keep your guard up at all times. Deceit and betrayal lurk around every corner.

With threats looming from all sides, he is about to find out just who his real enemies are.

Meanwhile, Scarlet and Katie Lambrianu have their sights set on realising their own ambitions in life. They are determined to build their own empire and establish a Lambrianu legacy of their own.

Tony faces the biggest challenge of his life as he fights for personal survival and to protect his family. Danger comes from unexpected places. Will his empire crumble? It seems everyone is willing to resort to Dirty Dealings ... how low will Tony go to avoid the devastating consequences of failure?

Dirty Dealings is the final instalment in this series. The other books, in order, are Dangerous Games; Nasty Business; and Francesca.

The Lambrianu’s are back for this the 4th and final instalment about their lives
I think I said last time it was great to be back with them and this continues with this book, there is a real sense of ‘knowing’ these characters after 4 books and have been on their life journey with them, the good, the bad AND the ugly!
This book takes the family through some real strife and situations and as always Tony, Jake and Ralph are there to sort it out ( or make it worse ) and now with growing families to also help out and carry on what their dad’s started
As always the author writes well, warmly and with passion and I am sure she will miss the family as much as we the readers will
The book is full of shocks and surprises and its very much NOT a quiet ending to the series, literally the opposite
I have loved this series, am glad invested time in the Lambrianu family and look forward to seeing what the author will write next!
A great start to 2020’s reading
10/10

Wow what a book this is about Tony,Jake,Ralph and their family's from the first book to this one i have loved reading about them all but i have to say this has to be the best one yet.Although i would rather not have cried so much(lol)this one is very emotional and the time has come for the next generation to run things and for Tony to spend more time with Francesca who he loves to his very soul.I won't say anymore as this would spoil the book for others.BRILLIANT FANTASTIC 5*

Excellent Gangland Read

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest instalment of the Tony and Jake series . Was really well written as always and was lovely that the kids aka the next generation have grown up and been included in everything.

An absolute craxker of a book. Following on from Gillian 3 previous books you are treated to a real understanding of a gangland king in Tony and his associates. Great humour and also the other side of Tony. Brilliant book and highly recommended.

Mindblowing

Wow.....
Having read all instalments of the lambrianu series this will blow you completely away. Im serious when I say this book has topped being a top 5 favourite.
Knowing it was going to be the final book i held back on reading it but my word it has touched every emotion I've got.
Having been the protector all his life Tony is threw out of his depth when betrayed by someone he held in high regard.
Can he see through or even mske the person hurt see sense even when so close to home.
They always say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and in this book the proverbial is so true.
Totally award winning from Gillan

You need to read the previous three books, before reading this story.

Tony Lambrianu and his empire, will keep you hooked on this story.
Two men who own their own club.
We get to hear what they get up to, as they work.

Tony and Jake grew up together and were determined to do well.
They once had nothing.

How things can change!
