BLURB:
Someone has it out for Rialto.
Ian Banner is loving his hectic life. He’s newly married, ready to start a family, and opening a new restaurant. All his dreams are coming true.
The last thing he needs is a problem with his restaurant.
But when one attack after another comes, he grows convinced he has another enemy.
Ian tries to handle things by himself, but his friends are soon drawn in when the attacks become violent. That’s when Ian realizes the target isn’t Rialto. It’s him.
Rialto is the final installment in the Unbreakable Bonds series and features sexy times, Daciana snuggles, overprotective family, fire, and of course, code names.
REVIEW: I was a little sad going into this book knowing it was the final installment. The series sort of comes full circle with another story featuring Ian and Hollis which begins about 4 months post-marriage. Things are going great with their jobs, and they have begun to put their ducks in a row to prepare for the introduction of children into their family. Unfortunately, life has other plans in the short term when the restaurant, and more specifically Ian, is targeted.
As the incidents and attacks become more personal, the guys can’t help but think about Jagger and everything they each went through where he was concerned. They seemed to have all moved on with their lives, but it appears they haven’t all coped quite as well as they thought. Among other things, this solidifies their clearly unbreakable bond and encourages them to communicate and talk about it allowing them to face everything together.
Of course, the whole gang is here to back each other up. They are, after all, one big family, and I loved seeing them all again. It was really nice to see the various couples are happy, and the lovely epilogue did just that.
So, all in all, this was a fabulous wrap-up to the series. It brought out issues that clearly needed to be dealt with in order for everyone involved to finally move on once and for all, and it has been an exciting ride with each of them. I really hope we get to see some cameos in the future, perhaps in the Ward Security series, or whatever else this dynamic duo writing team comes up with. Highly recommend the entire series.
