Giyanna had fled to Ireland when she was seventeen to get away from her abusive brother, Rogan, leaving her twin, Tyrrell, behind to make his own way in the States. Even though she missed Tyrrell fiercely, she vowed to never return. But with Rogan now in jail and facing serious time, she’s back to defend the man she hates most. Giyanna and Tyrrell are both good attorneys, but her goal was to make … make sure Rogan never gets out.
From the moment Chris Bentley called Tanner for a favor, he suspected it was a ploy for him to meet his other half. His brothers were all married now, but he wasn’t in any hurry to follow in their footsteps. He liked his life the way it was–uncomplicated.
She and Tyrrell were invited to the Calhoun home for dinner, they even sent a limo to pick them up. Giyanna wasn’t good with people, especially big men, and when they arrived, the door was opened, and she was staring into the eyes of the most incredible looking man she’d ever seen. But when the entire family rushed to welcome her into the family, Giyanna was not only confused, she was petrified.
Trust didn’t come easy for Giyanna, so Tanner had a long way to go to earn her heart. But when bodies started coming out of the woodwork, Giyanna was riddled with guilt for not acting on her instincts years ago. Now it’s up to Tanner to see her through it.

Well, we’ve reached the sixth, and final book in Kathi S. Barton’s “Calhoun Men” series. If you’ll remember from the end of ‘Randal’ we were witness to Chris Bentley and Myra being involved in Tanner’s fate. Not a lot, but tweaked around just enough to try and accomplish getting Giyanna to Ohio. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Myra impersonate another person in order to manipulate events before so she certainly surprised me this time. And when there was, what I thought was a vampire, involved with seemingly helping Rogan my eyes got huge! In case you had forgotten, Tanner was in an accident when he was younger and the repercussions were him left not being able to sire children. For that reason alone he convinced himself he didn’t want a mate since he wouldn’t be able to give her what she wanted. He’s also an attorney but had quit his job with a large firm and went to work exclusively for Noah. Giyanna and Tyrell were twins and were siblings to Rogan. Even as a child Rogan was a narcissistic and sadist individual who doled out physical pain on a regular basis. It happened one too many times and Giyanna left for Ireland at seventeen to live with a relative while Tyrell stayed in the States to finish his degree. Now Rogan is in jail on charges that fill the folder making it look like a novel. The Calhoun family got involved when Rogan was having a physical altercation with his wife and they came to help her, her brother Phillip who was also hurt, and Rogan’s four children escape. Now it’s up to the twins to help Rogan get a lesser sentence and still be able to keep him in prison for as long as possible. Oh, and Giyanna is Tanner’s mate but she’s learned the hard way not to trust men, especially large men and the Calhoun men have the large part covered in spades. Things come to light about Rogan, proving him to be the poster child for the word monster. This one has more than a few gruesome elements but in Ms. Barton’s fashion, her writing is equivalent to a pendulum’s swing. As gruesome as one aspect is there is always something of equal or greater goodness that shines through. Good vs. Evil and as always, Good prevails. This is a wonderful storyline and a great ending to an even greater series.
Tanner was my favorite book in this series. The others were great but he was a bad boy. lol
Tanner is the final book in the Calhoun series and the last of the brothers to find his mate.
Tanner from a young age always knew he wanted to be an attorney. He’s been set in his way and doesn’t think he has anything to offer a mate. Love and children aren’t something that Tanner can offer.
Giyanna fled Ohio at the age of 17 to Ireland to escape the clutches of her older and abusive brother. She hasn’t seen her twin Tyrrell since then and is finally being asked to return home to help Tyrrell with the case against their older brother. Suffering the abuse of her older brother has left it’s mark on Giyanna and she’s terrified of people, especially larger men.
When Tanner and Giyanna are pushed together Tanner is starting to discover that having a mate won’t be such a bad thing. However, he must help Giyanna and Tyrrell fight their demons and help them to move away from the past and look to the future.
This book was such a tear jerker, well at least the ending was. It’s nice to see another series come to an end and all the brother find their mates and how each mate brings their own personality to the family.
The last book of the Calhoun series. Really good ending of the series it even made me cry and I hate crying. I should have not read the end before bed time!
This is a bit off a disturbing story.
Also a heart breaking story about Giyanna and her twin Tyrrell. I have had a lot of anger, sadness and the need for justice in this book.
justice will be served one way or the other. It always does.
Great ending of a amazing series.
I volunteered to review this story for my honest opinion
