ShaneThe words, Catherine’s debt paid in full are something I never thought would leave my mouth.I’ve struggled back and forth, battling within myself for the man I am and the man who demands restitution.Decision made. The future is mine.True happiness may be unattainable but by the time I’m done, I will have everything I want and need. Jolie thinks life with me has been hard; she has no idea of … been hard; she has no idea of the sacrifice she’ll have to make in the end.
One way or another, all my problems will be resolved, and I dare anyone to get in my way.
Jolie
In seeking his revenge, Shane will accomplish the one thing that sixteen years of separation couldn’t do. He will destroy my love for him. He will make me hate him.
People say life comes around full circle. Well, here I am, back to where it all began, back to where I was so desperate to escape.
Only, I’m not that young girl anymore. I’m a sad excuse of her, wanting the girl I used to be back. Her edge. Her fire. Her fight.
Not want. Need. I need the old Jolie if I am ever to survive.
One way or another, I will resolve all of my past, knowing I fought for my son.
The Youngblood series is a spin-off series of the Stern Family Saga
** This is not a standalone. This is the 4th book in the Youngblood Series but the 3rd and final book in Shane and Jolie’s story.**

First I want to say is this is one of Monique’s best books!! This is the third book to Shane and Jolie’s love story. It picks up right where Restitution left off and you can feel the angst right off.
This book was hard to put down bc you will be wondering what will happen next! This book will take you on a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns you would never expect!
I highly recommend this book! Just know you have to read Retribution and Restitution before this book. Monique did an amazing job with this book! I can’t wait to read the next book she has planned!
This book is so action packed! You will love and hate Shane in this book. Most of the time you will want to throw your kindle at how he acts and how he treats Jolie. There’s so much that happens in this book and I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone. You need to experience Shane and Jolie’s transformation for yourself. These two thrive on fighting each other. It’s what they’ve always done but now they have a son to worry about. Shane is bent getting revenge on Jolie for what she did and starting a relationship with his son. As usual, the Stern family doesn’t make it easy on him. Gabriel pushes Shane and Fallon is up to no good as well. These two do not make it easy on Shane and Jolie. Teddy and Shane are still working on being brothers again but tensions are still high. There’s seriously a lot that happens in this book and it will keep you at the end of your seat until the very end! I loved seeing how things transformed in this book and Monique has a way of pulling a story together. Despite not liking Shane throughout most of this story, he did get my heart swooning towards the end,. It was the perfect way to end him and Jolie’s love story. I can ‘t wait to read the next book and find out more about Gunnar. This is one series I’m gonna be sad when it ends. I have become so attached to these characters and how they respond as a family. Sure they all have their issues but at the end of the day they come together as a family.
OMG!!! This book has worn me out in the best way. It evoked so many emotions! There is anger, tears, joy and laughter. This is the conclusion of Shane and Jolie’s story and you will need a tissues and a stiff drink. It is also incredibly HAWT!!! Monique has definitely written her best book yet with this one.
FINALLY! We get Jolie and Shane’s ending, thank you Ms Orgeron! This is totally worth the wait (even though I was super impatient about it). I love the writing and richness of the characters, even though these guys walk a fine line of good and bad, they are so captivating and easy to equally love and hate. A series that everyone should read. I loved it!
This is the conclusion to Shane & Jolie’s love story.
And damn if I didn’t want to scream and choke and shake a bitch while reading it.
Y’all, I burned up my treadmill while reading it if that tells you anything. I almost passed out at one point because I was holding my breath and didn’t even realize it. That’s what Monique’s books do to me…. they all give me the feels. I feel like I’m an invisible Stern (by marriage to Gabriel or Zander).
Jolie, Shane, Teddy, Sean…. we get to hear it all! The big secret is finally revealed and handled and boy, was it handled!
This book has a lot of road bumps, twists and turns. If you don’t stomp your foot and flare your nostrils at least once, you’re not paying attention. Another fantastic 5 star read that leaves me anxious for the next one…..Mysterious Gunner!!
First of all, I say this will all kinds of in your face, Restitution is the conclusion to Shane & Jolie’s story, so YOU MUST READ the previous books FIRST! And frankly, you really should read every last book that the brilliant Monique Orgeron has written in order, though the Youngblood series is a spin-off, but I stand by what I’m saying. I’ve been here for the Stern family since the very first book come out, and I will NEVER EVER get enough of them, or everyone in their lives to be honest. Ms. Orgeron knows how to enrage me so much, while in the same breath make me all kinds of emotional. I’m still very upset with Shane’s actions because he couldn’t see past his own hurt, so some of the things he pulled were just awful in my opinion. Hell, everyone was playing around with Jolie which was no bueno to me. I really really want to tell everything & name names, but I won’t since that would ruin the experience that I’m all in for! Of course, there are all kinds of f-bomb worthy twists, along side a lot of sexy times as well! I could go on & on all day long, but I won’t because I would much rather everyone hit those one click buttons for themselves so WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The perfect ending to Shane and Jolie’s story; it feels like I’ve waited ages for them to get their HEA.
Jolie shows her truth strength in this part doing whatever it takes to protect her son. All the wives come into their own in this part keeping the men in check. Its great to see behind every powerful man is an even stronger woman! So kudos to this author for making strong formidable characters.
I have experienced every emotion in this book from crying, to laughing and everything in between. Its seriously what I needed right now. Love this story and its great watching this family grow!
An absolute page turner!
RESOLUTION by Monique Orgeron is book 4 in the Youngblood Series. This continues the story of Shane and Jolie. So, you really do need to read the other previous books: Redemption, Retribution and Restitution before starting this one. This is a great series so you will not want to miss it. This book does concluded Shane and Jolie’s story. We start back where we left off in the last book with Jolie working to stay strong and protect those she loves just like she has been doing. Shane is starting to feel that vengeance isn’t as welcoming as he had thought. This book along with the series just keeps you glue to the pages while taking you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Loved it.
Jolie and Shane story . What an ending to the story that keeps you wanting more . The plot and scenes are well thought out and draw you in .
I can not express how much this author impressed me with plot and story line in this book .
Monique never fails to deliver well written, steamy, never want to put them down books!! Shane and Jolie’s story was a long time in the making and as always you feel like you’ve lived each moment with them. I laughed, I cried, hated some characters only to be madly in love with them in the end. Well done, Monique…well done!
Resolution is the 3rd and final book of Shane and Jolie’s story. Finally this couple, and when I say couple I mean Shane, gets their head out of their butts.
It’s no secret I’ve been team Jolie from the very beginning.
Gabriel and Fallon are still on my shit list. With Jolie and Shane’s story their true colors shined through and Gabriel is reminding me more and more of his father. Minus the beatings. Catherine just wouldn’t stand for that.
In all honesty I can see where each, Shane and Jolie, were coming from. So I’m just so glad they have worked everything out.
I highly recommend this series.
Even tough these series are stand alone. The Art Of and the Youngblood series. I feel you would benefit and have more of an understanding of everything if you read them in order from the beginning.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
What an awesome book! I just love Shane and Jolie! As per her usual, Monique has created a story that will draw you in so completely that the rest of the world just fades away. This book is full of action and just the right amount of heat. If you haven’t yet read this book (or series), you are really missing out!!
Wow, things have finally comes to ahead for these two. The battle of wills of who will give in have snap, it took someone they love dearly to finally stop fighting and come together to come up with a solution. They love hard and they do say it’s a thin line between love and hate, and these two got it in spade, but what can I say, they mesh well and as you can see they were made for each other.
Monique is by far my favorite author. All of her books are just amazing. I have loved every main character in her books but I have to say jolie is one my faves. Not only is she fierce but she always tries to put her son first. Nothing but him matters and I love it. She always tries to make sure he is happy even when life seems so unfair to her. I still love shane even when he is fighting his own feelings. He is as hard-headed as they come but man does he love jolie.
As always I can’t wait for what you come up with next.
What an amazing series that will have you gripped from the start eager to read more. You almost feel like one of the family knowing them and wanting a fantastic outcome for them all. The strong characters take you on an emotional journey leaving you wanting more. I highly recommend as a must read series and author. I cant wait to see who’s story comes next.
Resolution is the final book of Shane & Jolie’s story. Finally, this couple gets their heads out of their behinds and talk. Yes, I was a little upset with Jolie, but if she hadn’t realized what was happening & that she really did love Shane, things wouldn’t have ever worked out as they did. Still angry at Gabriel & Fallon, but apologies mean a lot. Even Catherine stepped in a little, although I think she can do no wrong! Now to wait for Gunner’s story. Will Gunner find his one & only? Thank you Monique for another Great story!
This was a fantastic book by Monique Orgeron. Shane and Jolie’s story has an ending like no other. It has everything you could ask for in a story. It is hot and steamy their attraction towards each other, but both denying their feelings toward one another. It’s a page turner, you don’t want to put it down because the author has you hooked to all the action that is going on and you need to know what is going to happen next.
The characters are fantastic. You have Fallon who dislikes Jolie, but Murphy who befriends her. Ashlyn who becomes a friend to Jolie and they become very close. Then there’s Catherine, who is there to help Jolie and watch over her. She understands Jolie and makes her understand she is one of them, and she will help her get what she wants- revenge.
Shane who wants her to feel his pain and make her hurt but deep down he is still in love with her, he just won’t admit it to himself or Jolie. Teddy tries to be a friend to both of them but he has been a big part of the reason they have been apart for so long. Gabriel just adds fuel to the fire, and it makes Shane mad as hell. Theo helps Shane realize he needs to grow up and be a man, and tell Jolie how he feels too. He understands how it feels to love someone for so long and not being with them. If Shane isn’t careful he could lose her again.
It’s an amazing book. It’s full of all the emotions you want to feel in a book. You will feel happy, sad, mad, cry, frustrated. There is a few sexy scenes never before written by this author that are amazingly hot and steamy. You will love this story. I highly recommend it. But read the series, it is so worth your time. You will love it.
OMG!! What an exhilarating Rollercoaster Ride I’ve been on with Shane and Jolie’s turbulent love story. These two ripped my fucxing heart out at times but boy it was worth all the drama. They drove me bat sh!t crazy to the point of hysteria, I’ve never wanted to scream as much over a couple as I have with them.
What I’ve loved most about their story was how it wasn’t rushed. We’ve had to live through EVERYTHING! all the pain, heartache, anger, love and hate. We got to share the memories right along with them. The need for Retribution to finding a Resolution, these books have had it all.
That is why I loved their journey…….because I felt it.
This may have been about Shane and Jolie but it’s also about Teddy these three make up a complex twisted triangle to say the least.
Now it’s no secret that Shane and Teddy are my Dynamic Duo when it comes to Moniques men. I’m not gonna lie, I think I’ve had more anxiety over Teddy and Shane’s strained relationship than Shane and Jolies, that’s how much I love these guys. You can’t have one without the other. I’ve loved seeing them slowly rebuild what they lost they did make me laugh so much at times.
I can’t say enough about these books they’re so addictive and well written. Don’t think about it, just start them today.
Gunner has my all kinds of excited for his story, his secrets run deep and I can’t wait to see what makes him tick. He’s been a strong character every time he’s appeared in these books, building the mystery and intrigue. He’s a dark horse with a few tricks up his sleeve that’s for sure…..bring them on.
I have to admit I didn’t love Shane in the beginning of this book. I had no idea where his need for retribution was going to go. I’m happy to say I loved him by the end…the story turned out far better than I expected.
