Woah! What did I say after Monique’s last book? That was her best book so far? Wrong! This book is her best book .
Yeah, ok, maybe I said it before, but ohhhh my God, this whole series is just so unbelievable nerve-wracking and exciting, just perfect
This book took my free will and didn’t let me stop reading, trust me I tried
This book is so much more than just a mafia romance.
This book is a never-ending gripping and heartbreaking trip in the crazy world of “The Family” life.
You dive not only into the world of alpha mafia bosses and their criminal manipulations, but also into the depth of their strange relationship with their wives and each other.
The power battles and internal conflicts in this story are taken to complete other dimensions. This book is not just interesting and gripping, but also full of fearful and dangerous mind games.
You’re constantly waiting for the disaster to happen.
Don’t expect any niceties from this book. This book is brutal and has no mercy for your feelings (or the author has none , right Monique?).
Monique is actually able to make you hate your favorite character from the previous book .
I’m not kidding!
This part of the series is Shane’s and Jolie’s second book. Their complicated relationship begins in their teens and has left nothing but pain and scars. It’s a very emotional story about lies and actions that can’t be forgiven or forgotten. It’s not a HEA story, although I really hope they will have one in their next book, because they really earned one like no one else.
Yes, you have to read the other books in the series to understand the background and dynamic of this story, but when you like mafia romances, this is definitely a must read for you.
This is without doubt a must read for all mafia fans.
First of all this author once again delivers all the feels, the twists, the turns, the angsts… it’s all there. It’s what keeps me turning page after page, it’s also what makes this author a one click for me every time. I no longer read the blurb, I just love going into each book blind.
Shane and Jolie’s story is gripping one; just when you think things maybe starting to work out for the pair of them Monique takes it all away and leaves you reeling. My heart goes out to this pair, past decisions have a profound effect on their future. The course of true love never runs smoothly and these pair are the epitome of this. It’s was great to see Gabriel and Fallon again and how their lives have evolved now they are head of the family.
Gabriel was my first love; however after this I’m having second thoughts…. and what the hell is with a cliffhanger! Gah… I was watching the last 10% of the book knowing full well I wasn’t going to get closure. Damn you Monique, you better be writing fast!!
Restitution by Monique Orgeron is book 3 in the Youngblood Series. This continues the story of Shane and Jolie. This series is not a standalone series at all. Although it is a spin off of the Stern Family Saga you must at least read the books in this series (YoungBlood) to fully understand what is happening with these characters.
Shane is still trying to come to turns with finding out that Jolie left him with their child that he didn’t know about. Of course Shane wants to get to know his son but is having a hard time dealing with his past feeling for Jolie and his new ones of angry from what she did. Now it seems that something else is going on that was kept from him which of course has put his son in danger along with Jolie.
Their story can’t be confined in this book and so we will have another installment that I can’t wait for!
OMG!!! This book kept me on my toes. So much happening and lots of stuff to keep track of. I felt like I was in a tennis match, but in a good way. This story kept me on the edge of my seat. I can’t believe that I have to wait to find out how Shane and Jolie’s story ends. Love this author. Love this series. Each book gets better and better!!!! Highly recommend!!
Where does one even begin…. after patiently waiting for the 2nd part of Shane and Jolie’s story, Monique blew it out of the water with this one! The 2nd part of their story builds you up and gives you hope that maybe just maybe things will work out for Shane and Jolie. Only in true Monique style she takes that hope, throws it on the floor and stomps all over it. My heart broke all over again for them both. We start to see the old side of Jolie that Shane fell in love with come through, but only sneak peeks of it. We see a little more of Gabriel and Fallon in the book, and see how well that have both come into their roles being the head of the family. The last interaction in the book between Jolie and Fallon and then Jolie and Gabriel will leave you with your mouth gaping open and going..wow… have you walked right to the edge of the cliff and left hanging. Another brilliant and amazing book by Monique. Hands down 5 stars.
Wow what amazing read that will have you reading this in one setting. This book Is a continuation of Shane and Jolie’s story. It shows how strong relationships can be and the love throughout this series. This book series will grab you and take you on a no stop of twists and turns and will be wanting the next book. You also need to start from the first page to this series as you cant just jump into this story.
This is the continuation of Shane and Jolie’s story. I seriously couldn’t put this book down and I read it in one sitting. I just had to see what was going to happen next. Monique weaves this part of the story with all of its emotions and its twists and turns and just when you think you figures out what happen next the story is completely flipped around. It shows how much Shane is hurt by Teddy’s and Jolie’s actions and what he is willing to do for Sean. You also see what Jolie is willing to do to try and make up to Shane for running all of those years ago but she is totally convinced that its only about Sean. Then there is Teddy and you start to see what he is willing to do to get back to being best buds with Shane and how he is willing to take whatever Shane dishes out but he won’t give up. There is not a single thing about this book that you wouldn’t love from start to finish and each book gets better than the last. I can’t wait to see the conclusion of what happens because the cliffhanger in this one leaves me to believe then next book will be the best yet. If you haven’t read this series yet it is the must read of 2019. Congrats Monique another epic story.
This book is everything !!
Tragic and heartbreaking !!
I love Shane and Jo they are broken and a little messed up. I need the next book I need to know how it ends.
Read this book you won’t regret it.
What’s there not to love about this book!! The 3rd installment in this series is just as nail biting, heart wrenching, tear jerking, as the others. Every book is better than the last. Monique doesn’t know how to write a bad book. You’ll need tissues in multiple places, but a word of advice…dont read at work!!
I highly recommend this book and every other one that Monique has written. You will fall in love with all of her characters, just as I have.
4.5 Stars
Restitution is book 3 in the Youngblood Series. You must read these books in order.
Continuing right off from where we were left in book 2, the twists and turns continue. Will Shane and Jolie and Sean finally get what they deserve?
Shane and Jolie definitely have taken us on one heck of a ride! Yet as the end of this book comes to an end, we are left with one heck of a cliffy!
Need book #4 S.T.A.T.!!!!!
First off, OMG! What a cliffhanger! I need the next book ASAP! This is Shane and Jolie’s story, and, in my opinion, this is the best book in the series (even though they are all great)! As always with this amazing author, we get a story packed with twists and turns! I was so engrossed in this book that I read the entire thing in just one sitting! I simply could not put it down! If you haven’t yet read any of Monique’s books, stop what you are doing and one click them all! I promise you will be glad you did!
I have no freaking words about Restitution, Shane and Jolie. Their story is killing me!!! This author knows how to spin a tale. I can’t I just can’t…
OMG!!! I need the next book right now!!!
Now I’m going to have a book hangover.
I read an advanced copy.
5 STAR FOR SURE!!!! I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THESE CHARACTERS!!! This book, well all of the books in the Young Blood series and the Stern Saga are Page turners, However this book shows the feelings, it digs deep Into Shane and Jolie and their feelings and gets you ready for the next book, which I NEED NOW!!!! I am definitely falling over ready for more…… This Author keeps you on your toes and keeps you Grasping for more….. of everything, action, pages, words (even though there are so many) sex, Love, Air to breathe, you know ALL OF IT!!! I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THESE BOOKS!!! YOU TOO WILL BECOME ADDICTED TO THEM TOO!!! I suggest starting with the Stern Saga, because you will understand more from each character, But they are all Amazing!!! This Youngblood series though is killing me!!!!
I absolutely love this book! I have so much love for these characters!! Monique has a way of transporting you into their lives and making you feel all their joys and heartaches. I can’t wait to read the next book!!!
How HAWT is this cover???
Monique does it again. Another 5 star read that I could not put down!
There’s not much I can say without giving anything away… this one is a page turner, y’all!
Ashlynn…. I love the relationship she has with Shane. And Fallon…. my dear sweet Fallon…. She is truly a Stern now! This book has a lot of twists and turns in it and gives us a little more history on Shane’s & Jolie’s past. This is not a standalone! You’ll need to read the first two books of the Youngbloods Series!!
love love love warning cliff hanger
I don’t even know where to begin with Restitution. I will say that it is not a stand alone. Your really need to read the first 2 in the Youngblood series. (Then go read the Stern Family saga if you haven’t already.) Shane and Jolie are still trying to find a way to be around each other. Teddy is trying to get Shane to forgive him. Shane is trying to forge a new relationship with Sean and figure out how to keep everyone alive and Gabriel happy. All of that with some 3 Card Monte and homemade pizza and cake thrown in the mix. Monique is just truly brilliant in her story telling and she will have your feelings running an emotional roller coaster. I devoured this book in one day and I’m already salivating for the next one, because in true Monique fashion, she ended the book on a “WTF just happened” moment!
Is this author brilliant or evil? You decide! This fast paced page turner has you dreading and eagerly anticipating the next twist in equal measure! I’m going to have to call this one NOT a standalone, you really need to know Ms. Orgeron’s players before picking this one up so you know the dynamics. At the very least I suggest reading the Youngbloods 1 & 2 first. With all the players gathered, this book starts off running and doesn’t stop. I was hating every time real world stuff interrupted my reading, much preferring to be in the Youngbloods’ world with Teddy, Shane, Jolie and the gang. A surprising twist around every corner and everyone has their own agenda, is everyone going to make it out of this unscathed? Can these two find it in themselves to forgive each other and themselves of past wrongs? Will it be enough to ensure a future that ends with everyone alive and happy? I’ve gotta say, I foresee someone getting hurt bad by all of this and I can’t figure out if there will be any winners at the end of the game, but I’m for sure in it for the long haul!
Whelp I didn’t see this coming, good lord! These characters are wrecking havoc on my emotions, I’m mad, I’m frustrated and passed off mainly on Jolie. Shane is dying slowly, emotionally, I don’t know how to feel about them at all. They’re both stubborn people that won’t give in, but I am rooting for them, you can see the love they have for each other. I’ve been glued to this book not wanting to stop, I would recommend this whole series, but be prepared to have tissues handy, well done author Monique Orgeron.
In 2 chapters I was already crying. Monique what are you doing to us?!?! The whole dang Book I felt like I was crying and then the ending?!?!? Are you serious right now? No I’m not mad but I want more. My gosh, I love shane!!! But what is up with gabriel? He was one of my favorites but not I am so confused… I’m ready for resolution. Is it out yet? Lol. Great book as always monique.
