4.0 out of 5 starsRichard and Janet Saga
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2020
You know when people drilled in your head for years and called you ugly names it will be engrained in your brain?? Well meet Janet and that was her life. It was very sad how she was treated growing up and it affected her greatly! Her naiveness reminded me of Carly somewhat. Some similar scenarios from a Kari situation. She was naive, innocent and had a great heart! Really love her relationship with Mo. Meet Richard but his family and ladies called him “Dick” or “Dicky”. That named annoyed me! He was a cross between Alex Drakos, Reno Gabrini and a lil bit of Mick Sinatra! He played no games. Once he settled down he protected Janet above all others. Of course there some twists and turns. I like Richard brothers! Possible a book for Monty who has some characteristics of Tommy Gabrini (don’t want to give away too much). I wished Janet was more fierce, but when you accept the way people treat you as normal, she has some healing to do because she’s still so naive. Richard is her protector and he will stand up for her when she does not do it for herself. This is the third book in The Rags to Romance Series and there will be new characters on the horizon.

1.0 out of 5 starsLast try...I give up
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020
I stopped reading this author’s books about a year-and-a-half ago because the stories/characters/plots became interchangeable and scenes were borderline ridiculous. Characters I’d loved previously weren’t recognizable and “new” characters were anything but — just the same people from previous books with different names and in different locales. Not sure what I was thinking buying this one, but thought I’d give it one more try. This was the absolute worse. The characters were one-dimensional, dialogue was practically non-existent, and when there was dialogue it was amateurish at best and nonsensical at worst. I have no idea what happened to this author — whether she burned out, or just doesn’t care anymore. I know that charging this much for this quality of product (being cranked out practically every month) isn’t cool. I won’t be buying anything else from this author until she takes a year to work on something that warrants the price.

My heart just went out to Janet, PJ, Plain Jane, horse face, shovel face, sh!t face Evans. She was bullied, abused, ignored, disrespected, and passed over. It was bad enough she was an orphan from birth and was taken from the only good Foster family she knew and handed to an awful family that made her a slave for twelve miserable years. Janet got out of there the day she turned eighteen and never looked back. When she literally was knocked down by Richard Shetfield, she could not explain the feelings she had for him and neither did he. She could see his goodness and the sadness in his eyes. She was not his usual attraction and that was for gorgeous women, and he had plenty of women. He always hit it and ran and was definitely a commitment-phobe. But he couldn't explain to himself why he was so attracted to her. He finally figured out that is it was her innocence, her integrity, her innate goodness. Through all that she'd been through, she kept her humanity and goodness.de no excuses for herself. She deserved someone better than him, he was not a good man. So he did what he always did, hit it and run. It was for the best. He was not good enough for her. In doing so, he robbed Janet of not only her maidenhood but her integrity and reputation as well.

Six years later when they ran into each other again, it was like they had never been apart. But this time, Janet was ready to guard her heart. Richard was tire of one-night stands and was tired of being lonely. He was tired of the gold-digging hoes who could care less about him but only what he could give them. He now knew that Janet was "THE ONE." But, when stuff started to happen that threatened both of them, he vowed, she will not be disrespected again and to protect her, even from his family. Janet was beginning to wonder whom she hooked her wagon to when she witnessed what he would do to protect her. She asked him outright, "What kind of family is the Shetfield family?" His reply was a truthful as it could be. "We are businessmen when you leave us alone and thugs when you don't!" That was enough for Janet because Richard was the only man to ever show her love and respect and protected her. If it was not for him, she would be dead. If not Richard who? If not now when?

Mallory always writes romance stories with lots of action and mystery. I can never figure out "who done it" with her books and she did not disappoint in this one. I just love this couple and how Mallory made me fall in love with them. Richard is a vulnerable man's man who was afraid to have his heartbroken, and Janet was the woman who tempered him and gave him everything he needed in a woman. I can see Mallory write a series about the Shetfield men. Montgomery would definitely be interesting and Spencer has to heal from his heartache and I can see another woman doing that for him. I would love to read more about these men and the women who will capture their hearts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good read
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021

I don't like to read reviews prior to buying books all the time, but wish I would have this time. (luv2read review) I know different authors have different styles just like readers so I try to give them a chance. This is just bad from beginning to end. I skipped through 85% of this book. The language was weird and off most of the book. I always say everyone that try their hand at writing deserve a 5 star as writer because this is not easy regardless of how many books you have written. However end product was just lacking any kind of cohesiveness.

This was a good book more than I expected. I miss Mick the Tick but the adrenaline rush was present in this book as well. I can relate with Janet being mistaken as also. I fine being what some call a plain Jane as one of adventure and challenge. Why be a carbon copy? Great job Mallory, definitely a book not to miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020

This was such a great story! I hope that this becomes a new series because I would like to hear about Richard's brothers and their love lives in other books, too! I like that Mallory adds characters from her other series (Trevor Reese and his wife, Carly Sinatra - Big Daddy's daughter) and his connection with Richard Shetfield and his family's businesses. Anyway, this story reminds me of Alex and Kari Drakos and how Kari had to deal with hatred from her home town when she was involved with Alex. I love this relationship with Janet Evans and Richard Shetfield. And, the comedy from her foster Dad, Mo! That man had me in stitches with the dialog between him and Janet! It was great! I love that Mallory Monroe brings action, drama as well as comedy in her stories! This is a must read!

Janet Evans was given much since she was born... she was put in the foster care system since birth.. and in her short 4 years..after going through a few homes..she was placed with papa Mo...finally in a good and loving home only to be pulled out when papa Mo became a widower.. from that point on ..her life became a living nightmare with the Henleys.. and I hope MM can visit that family later on in this new and exciting series.. I'm getting ahead of myself.. but I know Dicky Shetfield will take care of them later..so Janet literally and figuratively slams into Richard Shetfield the very first day of orientation and her life was changed forever.. only she wasn't the only one.. Richard life changed in that instant.. and it took 6 years for him find his true happiness

I was so happy to see a book that wasn't about a Gabrini or a Sinatra, that I had high hopes. But I didn't believe this love at first sight at face value. I love this author but I don't want another cookie cutter romance that is inferior and not worthy of her talent.

If there is an inevitable sequel to this book, I won't be buying it.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2020

This has become one of my favs. I love me some Richard and Janet. Richard was more then I bargain for. I had Richard pegged as this rich spoiled boy but he is stone cold gangster. He earn my props when he beat his father for disrespecting Janet. In addition to that there was his edginess. Who puts a screen in their accounts eye for stealing money? Them Sheffield boys are wild.

As for Janet I took delight that she got her happy ending. All her life she was made to feel inadequate. Richard fought for her. He knew he had a good woman. I hope this becomes a series. I like his brothers, Spence and Monty. I would love to read their stories.
