Captivating In Love (The Maverick Billionaires) Kindle Edition
Gideon Jones came back from war a changed man. Though the Maverick Billionaires claim he’s one of their own, he knows he doesn't deserve to be part of their tightly knit unit. Just like he doesn't deserve Rosie Diaz—an amazing mother…and an utterly captivating woman that he can't stop dreaming about.
Rosie Diaz pulled herself out of the foster care system and made a great life for herself while raising Jorge, the son she adores. Only one thing is missing—a good man, one she can respect and love with her whole heart. A man exactly like her best friend’s older brother Gideon.
When Rosie and Gideon agree to take care of Matt and Ari’s son, Noah, while the couple is on their honeymoon, they have no idea of the havoc two matchmaking little boys can create. Not to mention the steamy kisses that Rosie and Gideon can’t help but steal from each other as their connection deepens and grows. But when mother and son are threatened, Gideon will stop at nothing to protect them. Will he finally believe that he truly is Maverick material…and worthy of Rosie and Jorge’s love?

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022Gideon is fighting the monsters of war, driven by guilt at the loss of his team to an IED. Rosie is determine to help him see that the guilt he has for leaving behind his sister and losing his team is unfounded. Rosie has her own monster, her ex who seems determined to take her son Jorge away from her, even though he hasn't been there since before the boy was born. Gideon will protect them with his life & the Mavericks will help. Now for two weeks, while Matt & Ari honeymoon, his nephew Noah, Rosie & Jorge, have the opportunity to prove to him that they could make one happy little family. This was a story that hit close to home for me, soldiers suffer with guilt & PTSD & struggle to live a normal life. It is wonderful to read a story that shines light on this, but makes it not look or feel so daunting. Rosie was the perfect match for Gideon & Jorge was the icing on the cake! Check out this story, it was a bit of a slow burn, sexy, steamy(including the sexy shower scene!!) & they hit up some pretty cool art museums in the process!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2022Gideon couldn't be prouder for his sister Ari, and he is even prouder to be giving her away in marriage to one of the best men he has come to know. Matt's 6 year old son Noah is also right there with his dad and new mom during the vows! For the next two weeks, Gideon will be taking care of Noah while the newlyweds honeymoon. Now Gideon has to deal with not only Noah but his best friend Jorge and, of course, his mom Rosie. Rosie, Gideon has been trying ever since meeting her to not think of her to no avail. Why doesn't Gideon want to get close to Rosie since he adores her son? What is Rosie hiding? Will Gideon be willing to support Rosie when he finds out what has been happening? Who's Archie (Archibald) Finlay? What does he want? Only one way to find out. Read this great story by Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019This is a good romance, and a good addition to The Maverick Billionaires series. It is my favorite of the series, because I just loved Gideon and Rosie.
Gideon was a sweetheart, but he was so filled with guilt over what happened to his sister and his Iraq teammates. He honestly thought he was to blame, and didn't deserve to be happy. I loved how Rosie helped him see that he wasn't to blame, and had done the best he could under the circumstances. He and Rosie were perfect for each other, and I liked that they found their HEA.
I loved Rosie's son Jorge and Noah (Matt and Ari's son). It was adorable how they planned to get Rosie and Gideon together -- they were the cutest little matchmakers. Their interactions with Gideon and all the Mavericks were incredibly sweet.
I also liked how all the Mavericks immediately got involved when Rosie needed help with her ex. They already considered her and Gideon part of their "family", simply because Gideon and Rosie were important to Matt's wife Ari.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023Gideon came home with a lot of baggage from War in the Middle East. He now works for one of the Mavericks. Rosie is a single mother who is friends with Ari one of the Maverick’s wives. Suddenly, trouble has found her & Gideon intends to protect her and her son. The characters are realistic and keeps you turning the pages. I look forward to reading future books by Ms Skully & Ms Andre.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024Stellar series to this point. Don’t expect anything less from the rest of the series, which I will acquire shortly. Well worth your time.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021Love love love this book Gideon and ROZES love story help me tearing up I love the fact that she was a young mother with so much strength and love and raised her son on her own and I love how she was able to help Gideon work through his guilt of losing his team and Carmen and letting his sister down and that she showed him that he never did anything wrong and that he was a good loving man this is truly a must read Book the whole maverick series is and now I’m off to start the next one and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019****THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS****
(Received an early review copy and voluntarily reviewing)
3.5 stars......
This book had a lot of cute moments. I liked the interactions between Rosie, Gideon, and the boys. However, the plot of this book is similar to the plot of another Bella Andre book. Both of them have single mothers that were dumped after telling their child's father about the pregnancy. The child's father then goes on to marry a woman who can't have kids, so they try and seek out the child that they rejected in an attempt to remedy the situation.
I guess I'm a little biased because the other book is actually one of my favorites, so I had a hard time getting into this one. However, it's a good book overall and there are some plot points (Gideon's war backstory, for instance) that are a little different than the other book. And while it can be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading the previous Maverick books beforehand. They make appearances and it can be a little overwhelming (despite the explanations) for a new reader.

- Amazon KundeReviewed in Germany on June 11, 2024
3.0 out of 5 stars so far the least appealing from the series
I liked the previous books from the series more or less, but all came at least with a 3,5 rating. This one I just could not get into so much. At 50% I started skipping pages, because there was so much detail especially about the children, that I found it simply boring.
Yeah, the boys are great, I got it after the first couple of pages, but they took so much space in the story, that it just wasn't for me. I found them attention seeking and a lot of times quite annoying actually.
Secondly Rosie was not my cup of tea. She was so pushy all the time and overstepping in my eyes. I could not get warm with her.
I will still read the next book, because in general the storylines are nice. This one I could/should have skipped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mavericks
I love the Mavericks. I love that they are family through Love and not genes. And their hearts are big enough to take more into their family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, finding love despite their painful pasts...
This is the 6th book in the Maverick Millionaire series by the talented Bella Andrea and Jennifer Scully and it truly is a fantastic addition to the series that it will not disappoint. The Mavericks are an intense group of self-made men from the wrong side of the tracks. As each one has found love their close knit family has grown and it’s wonderful to have them back in our lives. This is Gideon and Rose’s story...
Gideon Jones joined the military at 18 in the hopes of providing better for his little sister, Ari. He loses track of her in the foster care system due to the unexpected death of his mother. It took many years before Gideon and Ari were reunited thanks to the Mavericks. Gideon has lived in the shadows since leaving the military because he sees himself unworthy of love and happiness.
Rosie has been attracted to Gideon long before she met him due to stories from Ari while they were in foster care together. Rosie is now a single mum to 6yr old, Jorge. She has been navigating life on her own ever since Jorge’s dad left before his birth. Rosie has persevered and managed to complete her accounting degree, find a good job, and home for them both.
Gideon has been attracted to Rosie from the moment he met her. Sparks start to fly at the wedding, Rosie decides she is no longer going to tread lightly around Gideon (since most do as he always has his “guard” up) and just treat him as she would any other friend. They dance at the wedding and there is a definite attraction that neither can deny. They make plans to spend most days together and the walls Gideon has worked so hard to keep in place, are slowly coming down. Rosie starts to see bits and pieces of the man Gideon once was and of the person Ari always spoke about during their time in foster care.
It’s a wonderful love story that will captivate you as Rosie and Gideon move past their painful pasts. I laughed and shed a few tears so pleased that they find each other and their happily ever after...
Though it can easily be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading the others in the series, if only to get the great backstories of the other Mavericks but to also understand the main characters in this book a little more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The whole series is very good
Another winner from Bella Andre and great characters to get to know
