Award winning, Bestselling, Author Blue Saffire presents
The Ones Left Behind
Work Husband Series

Gio

I never meant to hurt my mother. She wasn’t supposed to see us. I should have gone after her, but I was angry, young, and confused. I knew what they thought, but they were wrong.

I made a promise, one I planned to keep. However, it would cost us all. I’m the reason—the reason the twins lost their mother, the reason Ny lost her family, the reason Jace has no one. I’m the problem and the answer.

Nyla

I can’t lose them. They’re all the family I have left. Lizzy is all grown now, but she will never know what I’ve sacrificed for her, for dad, for aunt Denise, for my heart. He wanted my body, it was his, he wanted his doll collection, I let him have it.

Now I want something from him, we both do.

Jace

I’ve always wanted two things. Revenge and a family. I’ve shared everything with him since we were born. The two of them have been in my life through it all. Losing my mom and dad, having to watch my new family fall apart.

He promised he’d help me make this right, but I don’t know if he will give us what we truly want. This time we may have asked for too much.

Will this request unravel it all? Will the Di Lorenzo’s lose everything because we lost our way? Or will the ones left behind restore all that was lost?

*This is Book 3 in the Work Husband Series from bestselling, award-winning author Blue Saffire. This is part one of two and ends with a cliffhanger.
**This book has strong language and sexual content. This Book is for Mature Readers 18+

    Oh My what a unique and suspenseful story! The characters are awesome. This is the third book and each story in this series has been full of exciting pleasure that brings romance with a smile. Their passionate relationship burns up the pages with their chemistry which is sizzling hot. The story is full of independent women and the main character is looking for her happy ever after. Wow this story is such a pleasurable experience that you will definitely enjoy, the drama is believable which makes it so captivating. All of the characters are captivating and the family is awesome and their relationship is magnificent. The passion burn up the pages along with the suspense but for the cliffhanger which I am not a fan of but I couldn't turn off my reader until I read the last page. Don't get me wrong I will definitely buy and read the entire series again as a matter of fact I can't hardly wait for the next book. THIS IS A FANTASTIC SERIES!!!

    Let me start by saying that I am an AVID reader. I have been reading since my preteens and I read A LOT of books. This author has consumed my TBR since I discovered her a little over a year ago and I have scrambled to read everything that she has written. I’m NEVER disappointed. And I wasn’t disappointed this time either!!! I have been WAITING for this book and preparing myself to be obsessed, but there is no amount pregaming that I could have done to prepare me for this one! The amount of planning and preparation that set up this storyline is outstanding! Gio is my man, I have been claiming him since the first book in the series, but let me tell you, THIS man will heat you up during a power outage in the middle of winter!!!! Every character plays their role SO well and the writing, storyline, character development, steamy scenes and Gino’s mannerisms will leave you in a puddle on the floor! He is the ALPHA of ALL alphas! If I could give this book 6 stars I would! And for those who are upset that it is left on a cliffhanger, all I can say is you evidently didn’t read the other books in this series because if you know, you know! Gio, Ny, and Jace could NEVER shine in just one book!

    OMG I couldn’t wait to learn more about Gio, Jace and Nyla and oooooh weeeee this was so good🙌🏾. The back story of how they all came to be and why it works has been fascinating🥰. You can feel the love they have for each other and their chemistry is super hot🔥😈😡🔥.

    I loved that Gio and Jace each brought something different to the table for Nyla😘. Gio had claimed Nyla as his and everyone understood but Jace knew things would evolve for the three of them because of their strong connection and love for each other❤️. It certainly was not happy24/7, as they battled their enemies. I was super happy for Jace throughout the entire book as his family structure came together😊. The years Nyla endured not getting what she wanted was heartbreaking🥺😢, I was hella pissed off at Gio. I admired Nyla for making a stance and walking away for her own sanity. It’s been fascinating to see Gio in another light learning his reasons and strategy for moving his chess pieces around. Sooo much more information about the family is reveled and I liked that towards the end you were seeing the parallel stories of Dante & Lizzy and Dario & Carleen🥰.

    There is so much more to their story and I can see why there is 2 parts and glad it wasn’t crammed into one book. I am anxiously waiting for the second part🥰😘.

    I’ve read both books before this one and I loved them! Wasn’t sure how I was going to like the Nyla, Jace & Gio situation but it actually worked for them and was actually cute. Love how we saw how everything started and the way Gio works behind the scenes.

    I will say Nyla is stronger than me because Gio really wasted a lot of her youth when all she’s wanted is a baby with Gio\ Jace. I understand Gio needed to play all the parts because at the end of the day he is the Don and needs to be on top of things.

    It just sucks because she has 2 men that love her and are both ok with being in a relationship with her but they’ve had her wait 24 years!!! And they’ve only been each others partners, this is low key very toxic!

    But I’m hooked! I’m about to start the last book in the series and see what happens next!

    This book was an eye opener to who Gio is and how connected he is and doesn't even know. This book shows how calculated he really is and how much he is like his mother, father and grandfather. How his relationship with Ny and Jace has revolved into what it is and how far he will go to protect them. His love for Ny knows no bounds and I can't wait for Gio to release rage and ferry towards his fake grandfather Riccardo. I hope they keep Riccardo a live long enough to find out who Lucas is connected to and how will Gio and brothers feel once they find out who their real father Lucas really is? Will Gio, Ny, and Jace get there happy ever after and family once everything is said done? Who will be left standing? So many questions left unanswered. Can't wait for part two.

    I don’t even know where to start. Let me start with the good things first. The cover and description grabbed my interest. Jace is my favorite character. This book had a lot going on. Revenge. Secrets. Poly-love. The story has potential, but the plot and payoff were delayed for too long. One thing the author could have done better is make the dialogue between characters clear as to who is talking when there are more people on the scene than the narrator and one other person. There were times I didn’t know who was talking about what in the conversation. I know there is a book two and I may read it with the hopes that the author tightens the story and advances it in a way that gives the reader a deserving payoff. 24 years!

    Brilliantly written! I don’t know how you do it,Blue! Your mind must be a maze in keeping all these timelines intact and accurate between the three soon to be four books.
    I have a headache just trying to remember all the characters in the three books and the events that happened.
    Not going to reveal anything in my review. If you want to know? Read this book. You won’t be disappointed.

    Gio could have married Nyla secretly
    They could have had kids Ava cared for.

    They were enough for each other. The Jace thing was just a stupid excuse not to properly love her. The writer didnt have to make it all seem hopeless. For goodness sake they were all keeping secrets from eaxh other. How hard would it have been for Gio to keep secret marriage and child?
