I have come to love everything that is the Duncan family. Rio is one of my favorites, so I was happy he got his little spin-off story.

While I enjoyed this book, I was slightly disappointed with some of the story. I felt like there were some very unnecessary characters within the story that did NOTHING to drive the plot. For example, Ashton and Mona were extreme because the story would have moved along just fine without them.

I wish this story did not have any of the other Duncan siblings pop in because it just felt like it was saying that Rio couldn't stand alone in any way, but that's just something personal for me. Overall, it was still an excellent addition to the Family Business Series, and I hope this means that we get to see Rio stand in his power in the future.

"What kind of business are you in? "...Family Business".

I love Rio I am so glad he finally got his own novel! The new setting was a breath of fresh air, Baltimore was the perfect backdrop to deal with family business. I love all of the Family Business characters but I really enjoyed all of the new characters that were introduced in this one. I can't believe this series is almost over they're definitely one of my best reads in 2023. Quick and easy read, finished in a matter of hours.

Once again Carl Weber did not disappoint. Rio feeling like he doesn’t belong or isn’t as significant as his siblings decides that he needs to get away let loose and have some fun, Rio sees a blast from his past and he is determined to find him and receive an explanation.


I love The Family Business Series and was happy to see Rio get his own book, I was hoping it was going to be kinda a flashback with some new but that is what happened. I enjoyed Rio story it fit right in.

After hearing some feedback from others, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this read, but I'm glad I did. I really liked reading about Rio, the youngest of the Duncan family. Everyone else has their story, and I was glad to finally get a chance to read about him and all the drama that seems to follow him.
