Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read/review this book. It was a fast read and kept my interest. I loved the family relationships that are detailed through out the book and everyone in it. It was very detailed. Great story line. I would love to have more based on the families.

Will Mari’s story be next? I can’t wait find out. I was so excited to see book #4 in the D’Angelo series come up on NetGalley as a read now. This story is about the wild friend, Salena Barone, and her career exploits. Easy fun and fast read. I’ll always pick up this series!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Salena Barone is a strong willed, take no crap, tell you like it is Italian woman who is tired of depending on her overbearing meddling parents.
Ryan Rutledge is the handsome, tattooed, motorcycle riding distraction that Salena needs.
I loved this book and could not put it down. I gladly lost sleep because I just had to know what was going to happen next.
If you like a steamy romance with a few laugh out loud parts this is the book for you!

Salena and Ryan, what a connection. The families were great and the storyline was important. a lot of laugh out loud moments.

What a wild and passionate ride with the fourth book in the D’Angelos series by Catherine Bybee. This is Salena’s and Ryan’s story, two people who are not looking for a long term relationship but find they can’t resist the chemistry sizzling between them. I love revisiting the characters from the first three books although it is not necessary to have read them in order to enjoy this book. But if you have the opportunity, I do recommend the entire series!

The writing here was simply not for me. Didn't help that it's the fourth in the series but that's on me.

Relating to Selena was not the only reason I loved this book. Selena was so independent and Ryan just wasn’t sure what hit him - he only knew he couldn’t live without it. It is amazing to be on the outside and watch as they discover each other and find that this is just more than chemistry with the two.
The Whole Time is finding love and just not sure what to do about it and more. It is finding happiness, growing up just a little more, and loving our families.

If I could encapsulate my whole reading experience for this book, I would go with two words, RIVETING AND PASSIONATE. This was such a wholesome and a sweet story!!

Great way to wrap up this series with The Whole Time. I liked Salena and Ryan’s story. The background of pole dancing was fun. Catherine’s stories always have great backgrounds that are interesting. Good chemistry. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the fourth book in The D'Angelos series im obsessed it was such a great read and a cute story five stars all around.

OMG OMG OMG!!! I swear Catherine Bybee can do know wrong! This book was absolutely 100% pure perfection. This series is by far my favorite series. I flew though this book! Once you pick it up there is no stopping. As always the characters are just amazing. She always makes you feel like you are part of the D'Angelo family! Salena and Ryan were just so lovable. This book will have you falling in love with the D'Angelo clan and everyone around them. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book! Thank you Catherine Bybee for another amazing story and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!


Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for allowing me to read this ARC in advance for my honest opinion.

This is such a sweet read. Although this is the fourth book in a series, you can read it as a stand alone book. While reading, I felt like I was involved in Salina’s world. The Sunday dinners are something I wish I could convince my kids to do. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good sweet read.

I received this book from NetGalley and am writing a volunteer review.

Just finished reading this book by Ms. Bybee. This is the fourth book in the D'Angelo series. If you follow this series, it helps with the secondary characters, but it still could be a stand-alone book. The plot was different and the characters were interesting, but I still don't think it reached the "keeper" status that most of Ms. Bybee's books that I have read has. An enjoyable read but some of the author's earlier works were better. I received an e-book from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

This is the fourth book in the series about the D'Angelo family. Since all three siblings have found their HEA in the first books this one features Salena, Chloe's best friend. Salena is trying to get out from under her parents' thumb and moves into the apartment above the restaurant. She is determined to make her own life and doesn't plan on having a serois relationship, let alone get married. So when she meets Gio's brother-in-law at a wedding and there is instant attraction she thinks about having a one-night-stand with him. But life may have other plans for them...
I enjoyed the story but it's not my favorite in the series. I love Salena's character but I feel I would like to learn more about Ryan - to me he seems more like a supporting character. Still this is an entertaining l8ve-story and if you like Catherine Bybee's other books you will enjoy this one.

I received an ARC copy from Netgalley for an honest review. This book is the 4th of the d’Angelos series. Salena is a woman that grows on you. And Ryan is so smitten from the beginning of their story. I prefer this book from the #3 of the series but still, it misses a little of something I can’t exactly define.

The Whole Time by Catherine Bybee is the 4th in a series. Salena is the youngest daughter in an Italian family. She wants her independence, but her parents believe she should stay with them until she gets married. Over their objections, she moves into an apartment above the Italian restaurant she manages.

While attending a wedding, Salena meets Ryan. They are attracted to each other and begin dating. Salena is struggling financially, and refuses help from Ryan. A friend tells her about a lucrative side hustle, and helps Salena establish herself. Salena knows that her parents will disapprove, so she keeps it a secret from everyone, including Ryan.

This is a stand alone book, and the author weaves the characters from previous novels into the story smoothly. Enough back-story is provided without overwhelming the current plot.

This is an enjoyable read and I rated it 4 stars.

I love this family. Most are so loveable, some not so much but are mellowing. Selana was an Italian girl that was moving out from her parents apartment (they were not happy) and moving into the apartment above the D'Agelo's restaurant as their new manager. She was 26 and sneaking moving out and her father caught her. They didn't understand why but she was old enough so what could they do. She met Ryan when she went to his sister's wedding and he was struck by her looks and attitude. They were really perfect for each other.. She was quite busy but broke and when she found a side business to make some money, she jumped at it. It was not illegal but some might frown on it. I was so proud of Ryan how he stood up for her when he understood where she was coming from and talked to her parents with her. The Valentine's present from her was fabulous and blew him away and then later his to her was sooo sweet. A wonderful story that I am keeping in my reread section

I got this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

4.75 Stars

Salena + Ryan

Salena is 26 and finally moving out of her parents' house. Not something that is done in an italian family if you're not about to get married. But Salena has to live her own life now. She's nowhere near ready to get married - she probably never will be.
Then she meets Ryan. He's her bestie's new sister-in-law's brother. She meets him at the wedding.
And Ryan is kinda the same as Salena. Not ready for anything serious.
But it is insta mega attraction on both sides.

Let the fun times begin...

Another super cute love story in this adorable series.
I love the whole family vibe and the sunday dinners and just everything.
Salena is not really family, but she lives in the D'Angelos' house and works in the restaurant - so she's as good as family.
But she's keeping a secret from everyone. People would not understand it!
And Ryan. Would he be okay with it? Probably not.
But we have a lot of adorable falling for each other moments to read through until we come to the slightly harder parts. ☺
I loved reading this.
Adorable. Sweet. Sparky. Sexy. Full of good food and wine and family and friends and all the things!

I so need to see this series on TV one day!

► THE WHOLE TIME was such an adorable + fun + sweet + sparky + just beautiful romance - I loved it! Run to your nearest book dealer for your own Ryan - this one is mine!

After reading the first three books in the D’Angelo series, I was delighted to hear that we would get Selena’s story. I was not disappointed! What a fun and wild story it is! Selena is a strong, independent woman who has a reputation (rightly earned) as a player. Ryan’s past is similar. Neither were looking for love or long-term, but when they met, the sparks flew! Both have their secrets, the walls keeping others from getting too close, but chemistry is hard to deny. I loved their friends with benefits dance, and thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with the D ‘Angelo’s. Entertaining, emotional, and fast-paced, I had a hard time putting this book down.

This book was perfection! Selena and Ryan’s story is beautiful. I love the entire D’Angelo clan and hope that we can watch the rest of then find their happiness. Another great read by Catherine Bybee!
