Bitch they are married!!!
Ok so this book didn't lower the quality of the previous one. There was an explanation of how Dom sees and experiencies his religion which was interesting and he also taked acountability and full responsability of his past mistakes in their relathionship.
Also, LUCREZIA AND SANTO APPEAR!!!!!! I was shocked. And there was a realy cool scene where Seth had gone with Miguel (new character) and then BOOM is Santo BITCH whith fucking Dom Girl. I normally don't do faces while reading but i did It for this book.
I did miss Mark's chapters. Miguel has intriged me, can we have a book about him??
This book included: Seth pissing in a bucket, Dom with a Broken leg, Mark fucking whit a boy Who sells vegetables, a donkey called Pamela and a priest Who does(unwillingly) a gay weeding and is shoot in the face (It fucking explodes BITCH) right after It.
The post-credit scene with Dana??? Girl you have fucked Up. (Also does someone know where to read the other post-credit scenes that they have made for the past books?? They give you a link but It is nor working)
Ohhh, and Dom's mother has married Federico!And Lady Gaga is mentioned(not by name, Dom calls ger the lady Who wore meat but It was nice to see her there)

Whew, what a fifth installment to this crazy good series.
5 books in, and Seth and Dom (and Mark) finally cross the border. Although, since it's this series...it doesn't go as planned.
When Dom gets injured and has to be laid up for a few months (and they lose their money, which you have to find out how and why when you read), they're strapped for cash and Dom, who sees himself as the provider of their little family - and generally is - wants to find work even while injured, but Seth is not having it.
Seth feels like he is useless (he isn't) when Dom gets injured because Dom usually takes care of everything, but he doesn't want to be useless anymore, so Seth goes out to look for a job. Only, they're in Mexico now and Seth can't speak Spanish, and the only guy that hires him for "construction work" is Miguel, who is seemingly the head of the local cartel and who is able to speak English so Seth can communicate effectively with him.
Not the smartest thing to do, but Seth is determined to provide for their family when Dom can't. He wants to be able to do as much for Dom as Dom does for him.
But Dom...is Dom. And he doesn't like that Seth is going out there and being worked to the bone and then when he finds out exactly who Seth works for, being in such a dangerous situation.
This whole situation brings up old scars, things these two haven't truly dealt with. Like what happened in the first book with their first time, and another time.
I like how what happened was acknowledged, and that Dom took full responsibility for it. Even if Seth wasn't sure if he wanted it - like he wasn't completely opposed to it - him not being 100% on board should have stopped Dom and he didn't. I think Dom needed to take responsibility for it and show how regretful and sorry he was for them to move past it.
Because when Dom goes way too far in his overprotectiveness of Seth, it brings up some bad memories for Seth and these two actually spend a few weeks apart. Not fully, they're still around each other, but they're not exactly....together. Dom isn't allowed to touch Seth and Seth just isn't sure if he can continue being with Dom.
This book, so far, was their toughest battle as a couple. It wasn't easy, and if they hadn't talked eventually then they for sure would have fractured. But the important thing is that they did talk, really talk, about what happened in the first book that hangs over them and hasn't fully gone away.
Relationships are fucking hard. Throw in being a part of a mafia family and one character especially being very morally gray (and yet still somehow devoutly religious...) and them being on the run and you've got and even more complicated relationship, and even harder one.
And these two don't exactly hold back when fighting - harsh words are said, nasty words are said, and both get hurt by those words. But the wonderful thing about these two is how they make up as well. How they talk to each other, eventually.
I also loved how this book acknowledged what Dom did to Seth in book one was not okay. And yeah, circumstances were different and at the time they barley tolerated each other, but that still doesn't make it okay.
But Dom now...now he treats Seth like a king, like the most precious thing. It's beautiful to see how far they've come.
Definitely a great book, I loved it. Whew, what a series this is. I love Seth and I love Dom (even with his misogynistic bullshit and how he thinks "real men" should act and...I hate him at times, but I love him. Oh how these are able to to do that is astounding. I feel like if another character acted like how Dom sometimes acts...I would hate them. But not Dom...*sigh*)
Whew, onto the next book. I know I'm nearing #7, which several reviews said was the hardest on Seth and Dom's relationship, so....fun times! lol. Here we go!

He was a deeply spiritual man, but he never doubted that a lot of what the ancient bishops had chosen to make canonical was a stinking load of crap. Like that bit about homosexuality being sinful. Or that one shouldn’t eat shrimp. Shrimps were fucking delicious, and so were dicks.
My favorite of the series so far! From the opening scene of them shopping in the mall, to that steamy af bathroom you’d-better-keep-quite scene...to the last scene in the bathtub. My poor kindle didn’t know what to do with herself!!
Seth was steel. But Dom was fire, and the heat he produced could melt Seth into any shape.
Mark is 17 now and Dom has completely taken him under his tutelage.
Mark would be the son he and Seth would not otherwise never have, so he needed to be a perfect specimen of the man the two of them could raise.
The humor, the banter, the HEAT, the utter devotion and love that Seth and Dom have for one another is so much fun to read.
It’s not all fluffy fun, this is GnB after all. This book brought out their painful beginning, ripped all those hurts wide open, and healed them into a better couple than they were before. The raw vulnerability and honesty from Seth broke my heart, and Dom’s response to him made me know without a doubt, these two were meant to be.
These authors kicked my emotional ass in this story and I am SO DAMN impressed with their skills.

Why did the filler book have to be so fucking long? Oh my god I coulda read a Cassandra Clare in the same amount of time and had to read significantly fewer sexual roleplays.
That being said, major points go to Seth for calling Dom's bitch ass out on his shitty behavior. I like Seth with a spine and frankly I wish we got more of it. I feel like it really helped even out something that's been bothering me since the first book. It's not ideal and frankly if I were Mark I would have tried to shoot Dom dead for the very AUDACITY of the shit he pulls but I've long since forgiven how much sus shit is going on in these books.
For a filler (really, we could have cut like half the book or maybe made a little novella for a certain scene) I'm kind of satisfied. Things are cooking up and I think the next book is going to be juicy as hell. Between Seth's new role as someone who has a spine that's not made of instant pudding, Dom's newfound realization that he's kind of the worst, actually, and Dana's whole thing... I'm super excited to see where things go.

If by some cruel twist of fate you haven't even started this series, don't go another day without experiencing for yourself what all the hoopla is about!
I am just going to call it- this is the best of the five books of the series, and that's saying a lot!
![]()
Just when you though things were pretty difficult for Dom & Seth, an accident turns everything topsy turvy and established roles get shredded, much to the dismay of the MC's.
A new reality triggers desperation and helplessness brings on anger that cannot be contained.
Don't they say you always hurt the one you love?
![]()
There's a shift in the balance of the relationship which rakes up old grievances and brings old resentments of abuse to the surface.
There's no moving forward without dealing with the painful past.
On top of that the two are joined by a permanent addition to their team and observing Dom take on a father/mentor role to Mark is just priceless.
When daddy and daddy fight, it's inevitable that the child always suffers.
![]()
Love, which was the one constant in turbulent times, becomes a ticking time bomb, a barrel of gun powder and once the fuse is lit the reader is left waiting for the aftermath while the dust settles, with their gob hanging open in shock (like an otter that's realised it may somehow be related to Benedict Cumberbatch).
![]()
In the midst of Seth & Dom's relationship dramas, we have a mega thrilling fast-paced plot that brings back a few familiar faces and sets the board for the next book (which couldn't come too soon, if you ask me).
Mayhem & madness, the mafia & a carpenter, religious pious & a poor innocent headless chicken, this is all riveting stuff!
![]()
Ultimately, what makes this book the best of the series is that it's the most beautiful love story for Dom & Seth. If you're a sucker for these two, you are going to melt because the one thing we know about K.A. Merikan is that they do their characters justice.
I just couldn't recommend this book more even if I tried.
Update:
I GOT AN ARC COPY!!!! Oh so generously provided by the authors!
I'm dropping every muther truckin' thing, life as I know it is put on hold and I'm diving right in!

Update:
So, I'm on FB (which I rarely do, but there are a few people Istalk follow to get all my intel), and info pops up on my feed that ARC copies for this book are available.

Seth watched him in that way Domenico so desperately craved. As if Dom was the center of his universe and Seth wanted to get close enough to form a constellation with him.
My beautiful, crazy boys are back in Chokehold and I couldn't be happier. I think this is my favorite book so far. Hey, I'm a sucker for romance and this installment brought my boys closer to each other.
Dom and Seth with their new "kid" Mark are trying to cross the border to Mexico in their journey to South America. Things go wrong, Dom ends up injured and they end up stuck in a little mexican town. Seth feels the need to provide but at the same time Dom feels guilty because they got stuck and he can't protect his family. Of course they never discuss things and the resentment keeps growing and growing until everything explodes. They have been through a lot in the past year and some things were their doing. The problem is they never actually acknowledged it and now they have to or it could cost them their future together.
"I wake up every day, and I breathe for you,” whispered Domenico
I was waiting for this moment since book 3, they just had too talk! And the fact that Domenico initiated the talk was amazing, it shows they are both growing.
My heart broke in some of the fights because they were so vicious and I couldn't stand to see my two boys at odds with each other.
At the end of the day though these guys have a fierce love, there was a scene were they weren't ok but Dom protected Seth and Seth seeked Dom's reassurance, he knew Dom always has his back. That's how they work.
“I’m destined to be at the top of the world. And you will be my king consort.”
This book was really good, Kat and Agnes even made me like Mark! And I hated the little pest in the previous book. Here he was growing and learning. I love how he really tries to do better and his loyalty to Dom and Seth is something great. I really wanna know the man he's gonna grow to be under Dom's wing.
If he was to watch over Mark, he’d help the boy reach his full potential. Mark would be the son he and Seth would otherwise never have, so he needed to be a perfect specimen of man the two of them could raise.
Santo's cameo was everything i wanted. I don't wanna give too much away but I can't wait for his and Lucrezia's book.
Miguel is someone I'm looking forward to get to know. The pieces of info we got from his past are interesting and honestly I feel like he could be a great asset in future books.
Dana bitch was a no show but she's gonna be back in the next book. I really don't wanna see her (unless she dies) but I kinda want her baby for Seth and Dom, is that fucked up? I don't care.
Btw can we make Seth's food blog a thing? His cuteness is too much.
"you will always belong with me. You are my family.”

Santo's cameo was everything i wanted. I don't wanna give too much away but I can't wait for his and Lucrezia's book.
Miguel is someone I'm looking forward to get to know. The pieces of info we got from his past are interesting and honestly I feel like he could be a great asset in future books.
Dana bitch was a no show but she's gonna be back in the next book. I really don't wanna see her (unless she dies) but I kinda want her baby for Seth and Dom, is that fucked up? I don't care.
Btw can we make Seth's food blog a thing? His cuteness is too much.

Another great addition to the series! I'm addicted to the story developing between Seth and Dom. Mark being there is just a lovely bonus!
This book centres around Seth and Dom, with Mark, having escaped the Family, making them believe they are both dead, and fleeing south. While working their way through a tunnel, they are ambushed by some gang/mob members, who cause a collapse in the tunnel. Dom breaks his leg and they lose their bag containing all their funds, nearly 1 million dollars. Seth gives up his most valuable possession, an expensive watch that Dom bought him as a gift, in order to pay for Dom's treatment to fix his mangled leg. They manage to find a temporary home with a local elderly woman until Dom heals and they get back on their feet.
Seth ends up taking a job that seems just a little shady, and Dom starts going stir crazy at being left at home every day. Seth is exhausted, Dom is pent up and grumpy. it's not long before things become too tense for the pair, and when Dom basically demands Seth marry him, whether he wants to or not, Seth is furious. it reminds him too much of the incredibly rocky start to their relationship where Dom forced himself on him.
This isn't like their previous fights, which usually end with them making up quickly. This is the big one.
I wont go on, as i dont spoil the whole story, but it's definitely worth the read if you have read previous books in this series. if you haven't, please dont start with this one. nothing will make sense! you simply must start with book one!
