At the end of Book #2, we read as Gianna walked up to Kasey and Jax door and knocked on it and assumed that Jackson DiMarco was the father of her daughter. Kasey confronted Jax and we later found out the truth. Gianna did have a one night stand with a DiMarco brother but not Jax - she had one with Brody. This took a twist for me as I had assumed with the smoldering looks and awkwardness that maybe Leah- the receptionist at the Security business and Brody would end up together. I have to admit I hated the character of Jax in this book as right through the book, he had this stubborn pride thing going on and he was a freaking jerk to Kasey - it's like what was she supposed to think as the baby was a DiMarco grandchild and Gianna did have Jackson's name not Brody's as the father. I did like Brody's character though as he had his demons from the war and has been one of the more solemn silent brothers in this book you could see the passion rising from the pages and how much he cared for both Gianna and daughter Lexie. I also really hated Julie - which is Jake's wife and Braydon's mother and was glad that she is finally out of the picture hopefully - good riddance. It also seems to be a pattern for the DiMarco brothers that the girls they pick are not only damaged souls but strong survivors. Like Lucy and Sydney, Gianna has had to survive on her own and overcome obstacles after her parents died. Unfortunately, she was naive and now she is trying to escape Kevin who is in the industry as he has made threats - either she does what he wants or he will come after Lexie. In his words - either one will do the task he wants. Now that Gianna is with a DiMarco, she is about to learn that she is never alone and that she will always have an army of brothers/best friends and extended family to protect her and stand by her when she needs any help. I am loving this series and looking forward to reading Book #4 as Gianna ended on an OMG cliffhanger with Luke DiMarco. If you love family sagas, then you will love The DiMarco series as it also reminds me of a more suspenseful and slightly darker than Piper Rayne's The Baileys.

When Gianna has a one night stand in Vegas she was sent expecting the aftermath....... her daughter Lexi! A couple of years later she decides that her daughter needs to know her father, but is not prepared for the reaction she herself still feels when she meets Brady....... can they have a relationship in spite of Brady's problems?

Another great book in the Dimarco family series.....I love all of that family and am looking forward to the stories of the other brothers

The highest praise I can give a book is not being able to put it down. I read this book in two days and every time I had to walk away I could not wait to get back to it. The steamy scenes in this book were Hot! Hot! Hot! The chemistry between the main characters was off the charts! There were twists and surprises that kept me turning the pages.

Oh my gosh! I just found my new obsession. So I ran across Lucy, Sydney, Gianna, and Elaina on NetGalley and immediately fell in love with their covers. I let them sit in my kindle app for a little bit and then I opened them when I needed to fall away from the world. Like literally. My anxiety is extremely bad right now and I just don’t want to function.

I read them all in two days and even got through one of The Elite Securities series books. OMG! I knew I had to see if there were more out there. Then I found Kate. I read Kate in one day. Oh, my heart I need more. I feel so invested in this family that I can’t help myself but hope that the author writes really fast to get Grace and Ben’s stories written. I also saw on her website that she was doing a novella for Jax.

So, in the beginning, you meet the Dimarco brothers. There are seven of them with one sister. They are a big Italian family that once you’re in the family there is no way to leave. I laughed I cried and I felt like they were all my family.

In Lucy, you meet Christian and Lucy and follow their story of how they fell in love. Can Chris keep Lucy from running away from her problems?

In Sydney, you get to know Cameron the one brother you do not meet in Lucy because he’s undercover and no one knew where he was. Through lies and betrayals, Sydney and Cam fall in love and work through their battles.

In Gianna, you meet Gia and Lexi and Gia’s search for that man that she had a one night stand with just so her little girl will know her daddy. After confronting the wrong brother, Brody takes to them and never lets them go.

In Elaina, Lanie, the girl next door and her dog Beasley, who helps Jake come out of his sea of guilt and Jake does everything in his power to protect her but can he really?

Then we have Kate, Luke survived being gunned down for his involvement in a case that could lead him to lose everything. Kate is a single mom who is just trying to keep her head about water and make the best life for her son Andy. For Kate and Andy the unthinkable happens they are adopted by the Dimarco family and how much they knew that she needed them, the added bonus was Luke. Will Luke give up everything on the police force to have a life with Kate and Andy or will he lose everything?

I love everything about the Dimarco family and feel like I know them. The books give you get background stories of all.

All 5 are 4 out of 5 stars!!!

I've really enjoyed the Dimarco Series by Jennifer Hanks. I like a good dose of suspense in my romance novels and Hanks always delivers. Like Lucy (book 1) and Syndey (book 2), Gianna has a man in her past who isn't done with haunting her.

Hanks uses Gianna's arrival at Jax and Kasey's daughter's birthday party to weave an intense storyline in that added depth to the book. Not only must Gia and Brody find their way, but Jax and Kasey have a lot to deal with to.

Gia almost made an ill-advised deal with Kevin but to Kevin almost doesn't count. She's still wildly attracted to Brody but not ready to change her entire life and move to be close to her daughter's father until Kevin starts to pressure her to take part in his porn enterprise.

Gia has absolutely no idea how to let others help her and a huge family is a lot to get used to and it takes her a while. She starts seeing how wonderful a family as a strong support group can be. She's falling fast for Brody, his parents and all his siblings.

The characters are all well written, the story both intense and touching and paced well. Book 3 delivers all that I've come to expect from this series.

I think this one might be the favorite in the DiMarco family series! We missed seeing the family in Sydney and Cam’s book, so it was great getting them back in the fold. This is technically a standalone, but you do see Gianna for the first time in the epilogue of ‘Sydney.’ I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book after reading that epilogue! It did not disappoint. Loved Lexi so much! And you really see a different side to Brody than in previous books. Really great story overall. Can’t wait to pick up the next in the series!

This series just keeps getting better....
I thought Cam was my favorite, but I have moved on to Brody...

Gia and Brody have a one night stand in Vegas during Jax's bachelor weekend. A misunderstanding has her believing her daughter's father is Jax when in fact it was Brody.
Brody falls in love at first sight with his daughter, Lexi. He has very story feeling for Gia, but doesn't feel he can ever be with her (or any other woman thanks to his PTSD).

This is a sweet love story with some action thrown in. Will these two get there happily ever after? Of course they will. It is, after all, I romance story. You just need to read this great story to find out how.

I highly recommend this story. It is book 3 in the series, but you can read it on its own even though I do not recommend doing that with this series.

Definitely the best of the series so far!!!!!! What I though was lacking in the prior bio delivers here 10 fold!! Tons of family time!!!

Not to mention how freaking cute it was every time Lexie said, “Daddy”!!!! And then Unky and Tee!! So freakin cute and added to the story as humor!!! Loved it!

Yes there were times I got ticked off by Gia but for the most part I loved her! And Brody talked so much here...lol I loved how he never doubted his feelings and went in at 100%!!

Jack and Anna continue to Rock the Family dynamic. Although I miss Landon and Liam, they make a very brief appearance. I hope we circle back around to all the side characters. They were included so well in the prior books that we have become attached to them too!!!

Book 3. After the epilogue in 'Sydney' of course there was a bit of a cliffy. Did Jax have a child with the young woman crashing his daughter Mia's third birthday? Gianna rang the bell at the Dimarco family home to find the father of her young daughter, the result of a one night stand in Vegas 2 years before.

We soon find it is not Jax' child (not much of a spoiler so I will put it here) but Brody's and soon the couple feels the same fire as they once did in Vegas. But Sydney has some troubles (like the other ladies :-) ) and the Dimarco family is eager to help her.

These books read like a soap series with ease and a bit of suspense. I really enjoy them so on to the next.
