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.**

Best Book Ever!!! I had been waiting as patiently as I possibly could for the conclusion of Shane and Jolie’s story and HOLY MOTHER OF HOTTNESS!!! Hottest book yet! Monique is a master at playing with your emotions. You will be on the verge of tears, then pissed beyond belief, then fanning yourself and looking for a strong drink after some of these scenes and then start the circle all over. This book consumed me, I could not put it down. We get a whole new dynamic with the girls and let me tell you….. they some bad ass bitches!!! Well played Monique …… well played
Where do I start. This is the final book for Shane and Jolie and boy was it worth the wait. I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting. You get a new respect for Jolie when you realize what lengths she will go to for her children and see all that she has gone through. Then you have Shane and you see what he will do to get the ultimate revenge and then when he gets it, he realizes that it is not as sweet as he thought it would be. Both Shane and Joile go through a transformation in this book and both come out stronger. Some of my favorite moments in this book have to do with Ashlyn and Murphy because the wives in this book put the men in their places and become family to Jolie. This book will make you cry your eyes out for Jolie and at the same time have you rooting her on and then you will want to smack Shane upside his head and ask him what is wrong with him? This is the perfect end for their story and i can’t wait to see what is next. Monique you out did yourself with this one.
The end right.
Resolution was just that… an ending to a trilogy a great second chance romance. Loved it all the way through. Everything that I needed answers too was answered.
Shane and Jolie are EPIC.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
WOW! I really really loved this book
This is exactly how a perfect Mafia romance should be. Drama, power struggles, murders, intrigues and even more drama and all packed with a perfect writing style.
An overload of emotions and feelings mixed with a portion of fear. Amazing
And the erotic scenes, holly sh*t Monique!!!
I thought I had problems with concentration and reading but apparently with my unicorn authors it’s working more than well. I read it in one go and couldn’t put it down. This 4th part of the series and a second book about Shane and Jolie relationship was action packed and so damn gripping that I completely lost track of time.
Did I agree with how Shane treated Jolie? No, absolutely no. But I can understand his struggle. Betrayal of trust is just not easy to forget and forgive. Especially not for one of the most powerful people in the mafia world. Did I agree
with the choices Julie made in the past? Yes and no. As a mother I can understand her motivations and decisions, but if I would be the father, I’ll be furious.
The mafia world with all the shamings and power fights is a really fascinating world.
Maybe because the alpha men, that are brutal and ruthless in the business world are
powerless when it comes to their badass wives
Yes, I know it’s just a fantasy world and not the real thing but let me live in the fantasy a little bit I love these books that are so consuming that I can forget what’s happening around me and live in the story.
Did I make you interested? Good because it’s a really good book. I more than enjoyed every second of it.
This is a part of a series. You’ve to read from the beginning to understand the “family” dynamics of the whole story. I really recommend this series to all the dark mafia romance lovers. It’s one of the best I’ve ever read.
Shane, Shane, Shane, what am I going to do with you?!?!? Resolution is the conclusion of Shane and Jolie’s story. This is not a stand alone, so you need to have read the first three books in the series. Murphy, as always, is a scene stealer! I love her! Lots of steamy scenes in this book, Shane and Jolie definitely make up for lost time! Shane has always been my favorite, from his first appearance in the Stern family saga series. This book, he had me so angry that I literally kept having to put the book down before I threw it across the room. While he may have made up for things, I’m still angry at him. Monique has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I love mafia stories, and have a serious love/hate relationship with alpha men, and she is amazing with both! I recommend her books all the time!!!
WOW!!!! I JUST…..HOLY……UM, YEAH!!! I DON’T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN!!! IT’S PERFECTION!!! THE FINAL BOOK OF SHANE AND JOLIE!!! IT’S JUST PERFECTION!!! I HAVE NO OTHER WORDS!!! DANG Y’ALL!!! SERIOUSLY!!! PER-FEC-TION!!
What a perfect story that this author has given us for Shane and Jolie!
Picking up right where we were left hanging in Restitution (Youngbloods #3), this one sucked me in from the very beginning. Shane and Jolie’s story was never going to be an easy one to read…and this book just put the final cross on the T.
What these two have been through and are currently going through, you can only hope and pray that the ending will be everything you hope for. Emotions are everywhere and feelings are hurt and repaired and hurt again.
These two deserve the happy ending that they have needed since meeting each other all those years ago. But typical of this author, she will make them work for it!!! Great job, Monique Orgeron on bringing us the best book of this series.
Absolutely LOVED IT!!! Went through every emotion possible. Couldn’t breath (in a good way) after one particular scene, ugly cried, laughed, and was angry as hell!! Monique brings these characters to life like no other, and has me hungry for more!!! Fantabulous!!!
Phenomenal! Epic! Page turner!
These are just a few words to describe how amazing this book is.
Resolution is the conclusion to Shane and Jolie’s story and let me tell you it’s one for the ages and it’s by the best book of their story. We find out a lot as this book picks right up where the last one left off. You’ll have tears, your heart will break and you’ll laugh at the funny moments. In all Resolution is gonna leave you wanting more and dying for the next book in the series. I have a feeling Gunner’s book is gonna be just as epic.
Someone call a Doctor, Monique has officially hit the Crazy bin, or made me hit it….. either way This Book Is off the CHARTS and will make you go CRAZY!!! You will laugh, Cry, scream, yell, be Angry, REALLY ANGRY, happy, cry again, Overly HAPPY, and say Oh Sh$% a lot…. And that doesnt even include the Incredibly HOT SEX SCENES!! She legitimately brings every emotion you can imagine out again and again….. she is truly relentless, and absolutely Amazing at her words. She definitely did NOT disappoint with Book 3!!! I’ve waited for this book to come to a close and I was over the Top exctied to see what transpired between Shane and Jolie and she went above and beyond to Show the real Feeling and emotions between these two!!! I feel so attached to both of them. Do they Get their HEA, or will Jolie sacrifice her life….. Monique really puts you on the edge of your seat in this book, I say this about every one of her books, but This is the best one yet….. I can’t wait for Gunner’s story but then again she may Slay me with that one too…. She should have named this one RESUSCITATION because I need it….. AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS!!!!
In this MUCH anticipated follow up to Restitution, this author had ALOT of loose ends to tie up, and I’m here to tell you, SHE DELIVERED and then some! AH-MAY-ZING! Everything comes to a head in this book, not just for Shane and Jolie, but others too, and you’re left with a sigh of satisfaction and a smile. All the cards are on the table and this set up is about to have an effect on everyone involved when all is said and done. I have to say, Jolie is not my favorite heroine, she’s made some big time mistakes but I warmed up to her alot more in this book as I began to see her motivations behind some of her less than advisable actions. We also get to see how every action has consequences in a BIG way. Not just for Jolie anymore, she’s never had a family before so its hard for her to consider how what she does impacts a big group of people who have feelings too. In the end there are lessons for everyone, they just need to get out of their own way to see them. LOVED IT and hope Gunner is getting a story!
3.5 stars but since I can do half stars I’ve rounded up.
If you have not read the previous books then do not start with this one as you will be slightly confused with who, what and why’s.
This is also an adult book with many many steamy scenes. And this is when my rating comes into play. While I love a scene that can leave me hot and bothered I felt it was a pinch over done. It seemed as though it filled the pages of this beauty. But the writing was spot on. The issue was that at times it felt hard to remember the plot behind the whole book. I also became a tad bored with the back and forth between and leads.
Resolution does not disappoint on the drama or action. It’s well written and easily shifts from chapter to chapter.
If your looking for a steamed filled book the Shane and Jolie will not disappoint you in the least bit.
Love this conclusion to Jolie and Shane’s story. What a ride!! This book has everything you ever wanted. Hot, steam, romance, sweet, angst, family and fights. Lots to keep you enthralled. Can’t wait for more from this author!!!!
Wow what a hot steamy dark read that grabs you from the beginning and pulls you right into the story. This is a very drama story that is full of mysteries and deaths because mafia are full of push pull drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout this story. This story was a amazing read that keep me on edge all the way through out this book and I just couldn’t get through the story fast enough.
This was a really good book. Jolie had her emotions all over the place in this story. Sometimes we wish we could turn the clock. This book was really good.
As usual, Monique knows how to tell a story! Shane & Jolie know exactly how to push each others buttons but still keep things steamy. Even though you’ll be mad at them, you can’t help but feel for them. I promise you won’t be disappointed with this book or entire series!
I loved this book!! Shane and Jolie had to fight their way to get together but the journey was well worth the tears and the yelling. Great job Monique!!!
and Jolies story will have you so up and down with emotion that you will not know what to do. I have never switched teams so many times as I did in this book. Monique hit this one out of the park. The love, angst, and hope will make you hurt and at the same time smile.
WOW!! Shane and Joile is a dark, emotional, twisted, fantastic read. That will break you heart and leave it the dust for awhile and ever so slowly put it back together. They pull you in and keep you on the edge wanting to find out everything. Within the lies comes the hard truth and what Shane does will blow your mind. Amazing read that I didn’t want to end. I laughed and cried and wanted more and more. Can’t wait for the next one.
Resolution; the final book in the trilogy of Shane and Jolie’s journey from Retribution to Restitution to eventually finding Resolution.
Shane and Jolie are not easy to love initially because of their reactionary behaviour, their miscommunication for all the hardships of their younger years has not made them into mature adults. In fact their teenage son appears to be more mature than his parents. As the story progresses emotionally you start to warm towards them and although they infuriate and irritate you want them to succeed. If only they had talked, I mean really talked, then of course this wouldn’t have been a rollercoaster of a story.
I don’t want to give away any more of the plot.
Resolution is well written with strong characters and whilst Shane and Jolie are the main protagonists they begin to realise they have the love, support and understanding of those around them who are nudging them towards a HEA.
Would I recommend Resolution? Oh yes I would but you do need to read Retribution and Restitution first.
This is packed full of action, some serious sexy times, humour, cameos of previous characters, family time. Villians want love, acceptance family, friends and this is a tight group.
Definetly a story that keeps you interested but what I love is the strong female characters along with the strength of sisterhood.
Shane and Jolie walked that fine line not realising the determination and true grit needed to get the love they both deserved. A good old fashioned journey of resolution with plenty of blood, sweat, tears and the promise of a HEA.
Sidenote the bonus chapter is a saucy smouldering gift.
Once again little clues are dropped like seedlings waiting to sprout preparing the reader for the next book, Gunner’s story, now that’s got intrigue and mystery all over it.
