Losing has never been easy for a Maddox, but death always wins.
Eleven years to the day after eloping in Vegas with Abby, Special Agent Travis Maddox delivers his own brand of vigilante justice to mob boss Benny Carlisi. Vegas's oldest and most violent crime family is now preparing for vengeance, and the entire Maddox family is a target.
The secret Thomas and Travis have kept for a decade will be revealed to the rest of the family, and for the first time the Maddoxes will be at odds. While none of them are strangers to loss, the family has grown, and the risk is higher than ever. With brothers against brothers and wives taking sides, each member will make a choice—let the fear tear them apart, or make them stronger.

I've enjoyed the Maddox brothers series and what they've gone through to find their HEA. I wasn't sure what I was expecting with this book, but I knew there must be some kind of series closure. We got closure, but to me it wasn't satisfying.
Thomas and Travis' big secrets suddenly hit a little too close to home, forcing unimaginable decisions and the Maddox clan to circle the wagons. But all the lies and who knew start to unravel this closely knit family. And these Maddox men were already hanging on, some by a very thin thread, in their own families, making this drama one more thing they didn't really need.
While the author brought back characters that tied all the books together, I felt like they were too many things left unresolved when we got to the final page. Taylor and Falyn were having issues...did they resolve them? Trent and Cami were trying for family...did that ever happen for them? Where Travis and Thomas able to put this case behind them and have "normal" lives as they continued with the FBI? Yes, the beautiful funeral pulled the Maddox's back together, but what of all the other issues that surfaced?
If you're a Jamie McGuire fan, this will undoubtedly be on your must read list. It was a satisfying ending to the series, but I needed a little more reassurance that as time passed these brothers did just as Jim instructed.
