Teddy Sinatra 3: A Hold on Me

More grammatical errors that are now beyond irritating. They are unacceptable. There are plenty of well written, interracial romance books with few errors. Too many loose ends that weren't tied up. Thin plot and subplots with too many holes. New characters introduced with little or no backstory. Book was too short to provide answers. Gratuitous violence.Unbelievable subplots. Who is Irene Bolton and where did Joey meet her? Did the family really accept her? Did they trust her? Why was a hit placed on Nikki? Why didn't LaRoche mention that when he was in the safe house and said there was a hit on Teddy and Monk? How did Sal just show up? Had Teddy or Mick contacted him? If so, why wasn't more of his involvement stated in the story. No way does Sal's right hand man get away with so much without Sal not knowing? Why didn't Mr. All knowing Mick know what was going on? He knew that the other bosses wanted to get rid of Teddy! He knew Monk was Teddy's go to man. Why didn't he know who was taking his shipments and how it was tied to Monk's family? He didn't know! No way would be allow Nikki to be put in such danger, and certainly not Teddy.Other loose ends. Why is Blair "Witch" still Mick's Executive Assistant? Was she not stirring up trouble when she allowed Gloria to go in Mick's with a lady in a supposedly compromising position? She did the same at the end with Nikki. Will Nikki be the one to fire her? I hope she beats her down before firing her. Will Nikki promote Gloria and bring out the best in her? Will Gloria accept Nikki's help? Will she allow her bitterness and envy weaken her? Will Mick and his kids get family counseling with Tony?Why such a rushed ending that came out of the blue. What happened with Monk's brother and father? A two week vacation??? When will Teddy and Nikki get married or will they? Is Joey in for more heartache? Will Gloria resent Nikki being second in command to Mick at Sinatra Industries? Joey said that Nikki would end up being Gloria's boss. And on and on and on.I just love, love, love Teddy and Nikki and Mick and his family, otherwise I would have rated this book lower for it certainly deserved it: errors and more errors, thin plot, undeveloped subplots, lots of loose ends and no answers which are carried over from book to book, unnecessary characters, etc.

I enjoy reading about Teddy and Nikki...so interesting watching their personal relationship and mob lifestyle intermingle...Teddy walking the stairs to becoming boss...not top boss because that position will never be taken from Mick The Tick! But Nikki will continue to be more of an equal partner to him than the other Sinatra and Gabrini wives.Ok, definitely need some background on this Teddy and Monk bromance😁....Mr Monk has captured my interest....please don't let him be a throwaway character! I kept thinking is this the man who will capture Gloria's love and devotion?🤔 Has he perhaps unbeknown to Mick and Teddy met Gloria?And about Joey and Irene....not trusting her...don't believe that Mick or Roz does either....Mick will be watching her & digging deeper into her background...for Joey's sake, I would hope she does have the best intentions toward him...perhaps she could maybe have an unexpected illness and pass away; leaving a grieving Joey, who grows more mature...better than Joey being used and regressing to his former behavior....When Sal showed up at Joey's house, it crossed my mind that Irene was an old girlfriend of his...And back to Nikki...whom I like...but🤔...the job Mick gave her...I am going to have to reread to see if I missed her having the qualifications and experience for it....Joey was very intuitive about Mick regarding Nikki....Gloria has had her Mick's princess crown taken and placed on Nikki...that's probably going to put some ugly in the roadI enjoyed this book. It felt like it was setting a foundation for some new drama for Mick and family. And I can't wait to read more! 😚

Nikki Tarver was thoroughly in love with Teddy T. Sinatra, the underboss to his father, Mick "The Tick" Sinatra's crime family. Teddy was thoroughly in love with Nikki. To top things off, his father was highly impressed with her as well. Even though they were engaged, they had not set a date due to problems coming up with the Sinatra Crime Family on the docks. They both felt that they were getting older now and was running out of time to settle down and have a family. Teddy was getting tired but when Nikki's life again was being threatened, he dropped his father's business to take care of his love. They both had a hold on each other, without a doubt.Mallory did not fail to bring the drama, action, and mystery in this story. The plot twist at the end had me fooled. I was not thinking the perp was whom it turned out to be. I kept scratching my head trying to figure out this "who done it." I just knew it was the Rain Man. All of that to climb up the crime family ladder. Mikey sure was making a bunch of stupid decisions and I see why his father had to cover for him. He just did not realize what family he was dealing with.I just love how the family stands behind each other and now Nikki was a part of this family through Teddy. I also love how both Teddy and Nikki have each other's back and support and protect each other, even if it means giving their life to save the other. They are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Even Mick gets in to protect Nikki, with his safety and protection suggestions which Nikki balked to at first but acquiesced to the need being in the Sinatra family now. She was forewarned by Roz. But V.P. in S.I. really? Teddy seems to be maturing in this story but wanting to get married???? Really??? I can't wait to see how this turns out.

This book keeps you guessing even after you thought it has been worked out. Nikki Traver will always step up for her man Teddy by showing her alert and quick thinking when needed. Teddy's younger brother Joey suprising his family the way he did was not expecting that.

Another great read, my only issue now is,I hope that was not the last of the Sinatras? It is such a great saga and I have truly been thoroughly entertained with the series. Well written I recommend.

My favourite characters aside from Mick and Roz. I want see a lot more from Teddy and Nikki. Secondly Sal and Gemma.

Another great read penned by Miss Munroe. I was on the edge of my seat chapter after chapter. I am glad Teddy is getting some relaxation time.the boy was over worked. I like Monk. Probably in the not so distant future there can be a series about him. Nicki deserve some happiness. Brave young lady and she is so street smartThanks again for an awesome storyline
