The tight-knit Youngblood-Santorno extended family is trying to put their lives back together following the loss of a beloved member. At the same time, they struggle to head off the danger that may come next.
The family is expanding by leaps and bounds with the addition of new friends and newborn babies. While several couples grapple with changing diapers, Jason McKinley and Josh Reynolds struggle with their changing relationship after the death of Jason's brother -- who was Josh's fiancé. As the men fight their mutual attraction, Stefan and Jordan Youngblood fight to keep the family safe. Someone from the past has an explosive agenda that puts everyone in danger.
Against a backdrop of increasing terror, unlikely relationships form and others move to new levels of commitment. Because if they've learned anything recently, it's that life is fleeting.
But when you take on one member of the group, you get the whole dangerous package. Stefan hopes they might be able to relax for once, but he isn't stupid. He knows that with his surname, it's just not possible.
Because Santorno is not just a name. It's a way of life.

Open Doors to much more!!
I started reading late on 6/30. Since I had to work the next day, I forced myself to stop reading. Worked late the next day but that didn't stop me from picking up where I left off on 7/1 and reading from about 11:00 p.m. into the wee hours of the morning until I finished the story. There were certain parts when I was laughing out loud as I played the scenes out in my mind (the fund raiser and the double birthday party)😂😂! It was cute when Dante officially introduced Kyle to his Mama. Although everyone takes care of each other we are seeing more of who will be protectors in the group. I was surprised at Reece's connection to one person in the group even though it was years in the past. I was waiting for Reece and Lorenzo to combust. I can't wait to see what's next for them. There was one person I was not sad to see go especially when we found out more about him. Ms. Sandrine gave us more babies who need love, marriage, engagements, laughter and lots action in one great fell swoop!! I can't wait to read more of the Youngblood-Santorno ever growing family😎.
Another Hit!!!!
This is only one thing wrong with this author's books is that they end. I love her books!! I eat them up! I sometimes stop another book half way through just to read another installment. This book brings more characters into the Santorno fold. If you are a fan then you know the newcomers names well. Lorenzo, Reese and Colin to add as well. I love reading these back stories before the Assassin/Shifter series. I could keep gushing but I really think you need to see for yourself. This book is in a series so you need to read the books in order. Now you can just start at book 1 in this series but it is so much more satisfying if you read the Assassin/Shifter series first. Highly recommend!!!
Must read
This is one of those authors you don't have to read the description. You don't have to debate on, it's a given, a must buy. There are so many things that happen but guess what? You will crave more. I am keeping this vague because from the first page you will not want to put it down. I didn't. I haven't. I have reread about ten times already.
5 with a bullet...
And it's all coming together....If you're like me you've read all the Assassin/Shifter series and The Olympians and know the Santorno/Youngblood's first appeared there....in the future so to speak...So having a chance to see how they all came together is wonderful...If you are new to Sandrine' s work getting buying....you'll love her work and all those fantastic characters she has given life to.....Happy Reading.
I love Sandrine Gasq-Dion's books
I love Sandrine Gasq-Dion's books. Open Doors is yet another fulfilling book in the Santorno series. You have new love, new friends, and a not so smart wannabe killer. Reading this series or any of her other series will NOT be a bad choice. I am not great at writing reviews, but i need to let you know that you can't go wrong with this author. So worth paying to have it.
Great Read!
Loved this book! I love this series. I can't wait for the next book! Can't wait to see what adventures the guys will get into!! Those Santorno and Youngblood clan with their friends are so off the charts sexy and incredibly loving and badass at the same time!
Got you sucker
This was a sexy roller-coaster ride. Filled with everything it takes for a fantastic story, hawt sex, gorgeous men, lots of love, and suspense. I loved it . The best one yet!
Love the Santorno/Youngblood family
Another great read in the Santorno series. I can't wait to see what happens next to this motley crew that is the Santorno-Youngblood family.

Stays on my "to read" list after every time I read it..
Love! Can't get enough of this series or the offshoots !! Every one give you a reason to laugh, cry, yell, or just grin like a loon because these guys just make you want to love them!
This series is amazing! Each couple gets their turn in the spotlight ...
Watching these characters develop is a work of art. This series is amazing! Each couple gets their turn in the spotlight without it being confusing. I look forward to more books from Ms. Gasq-Dion, whatever series or books she writes.
Keeping family safe
A new threat to the family. Multiple assassination attempts, many proposals, new family, new love great set up for book 8. Reese good end and beginning
Open Doors:Open Hearts
I can't say enough great things about not only this book but about the series. The Santorno family is growing and love is always there. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Ugh. Not my fav
Love the characters but there are getting to be so many that there isnt much of a plot any more. Just sex. Every other page someone else is going at it, which would be hot if there was a plot.
Five Stars
Loved it!
Five Stars

Amazing series
Once I start one of the books in this series, I just can't put it down
Open Doors
I love love this book too. The Santorno Family keeps growing and growing. Their were so much trust,strength and emotions with everyone that grew so strong and solid. I can not wait for the next book. Erin
it was that good! As always Sandrine delivers and does not disappoint
got it by 9 my time and finished it by 1am! it was that good! As always Sandrine delivers and does not disappoint!
DAYUM!!
DAYUM ... THIS SERIES better not ever end!! getting better is not even close to what this book/series is!! YA'LL JUST GOTTA read it from the beginning!!!
Love this author and her writing skills are beyond genius
Love this author and her writing skills are beyond genius! I'm always excited to read her books and this one was no different. The way she can make these characters come alive and leave us wanting more is extraordinairy! I recommend this book as well as the rest of this series.
Open doors: the Santorno books
Another amazing book I couldn't put it down I can't wait for more books. This is one of the best series I have ever read
Too good!!
The Santorno team is back!! All the couple's are back!! But I will say this...start at Medicine and the Mob first. Start at the beginning of the series. I love the fact that in this book there are relationship resolutions. This book as everything we have grown to love with Sandrine Gasq-Dion books. Love is in the air!! Let's not forget we get to witness the beginning of a new relationship...Reese and Lorenzo. Plus new babies! If you haven't already start the ride from the beginning with Medicine and the Mob and read them all!!!
Better than the others
Again, Josh and Jason steal the spotlight and I have to say that I kinda like Jake and Dante as well. I guess as a New Yorker I can relate best to them. What I can not understand is why half of our manly men were treated like woman and made to hide out from the bad guys. I found that just ridiculous...I can see some remaining with the kids but the others?? No way!! Most of the book is the same as the others , which is repetitious..I love you a thousand times per page and a sex scene every page for every couple...blah blah blah At least a lot ties in with the assassin/shifter series now.
All the love and intrigue you could possibly want is in her ...
I made the mistake of starting this book about midnight and finished it about 8:30 this morning. I am thinking that Sandrine Gasq-Dion needs to have a warning on her books that tells you NOT to start reading so late! If you have never read the Santorno-Youngblood series you need to pick it up now, start with the first, The Medicine and The Mob. All the love and intrigue you could possibly want is in her books, this one is a powerhouse full of love and pain that is a direct continuation of Book 6 Reflections!
Love it!
This is another great book in the series. Even more when this series wasn't supposed to be written that makes it more special! Here we see how the Youngblood's and friends are creating new paths in life. Wilsee engagements, marriages, action, adventure, love and romance. So grab your copy and enjoy this new ride. Happy reading!
Finally, Lorenzo and Reece 's story
This is what I was waiting for, it was more Dante and Kyle 's story. But it had a good part at the end of Lorenzo and Reece 's story. I read it twice. The part where he accidentally hurt Reece and Damon came to him and Lorenzo said he was like him meaning his father. ...and Damon said no your not...you have remorse. The story with Lorenzo and Reece is all I had hoped it would be
Family love
I love the Santorno family. The kids are growing up and starting to get married and have kids of their own. The gawky teenagers are turning into men and protecting their family. Some new addition to the family and more pairs to look forward too
The next chapter
This next chapter was fun, kids the same. Watching the family grow and new relationships develop was fun. Love the Series.
So good
Omg this series is the best. I'm so in love with all of them. I found the first one then all of them. I can not wait for more. This series is the best I have ever read.
Great book
It's finally start to come together....this series is almost the prequel to the first 25 books. It's great to see how they all came together
Santorno stories 7
More snippets from the lives and lives off all the Youngblood/Santorno family, the hardest part is keeping the current couples straight as everyone seems to have dated each other at some point!
Ahhhhhh.
I loved this story,and I actually managed to keep track of the couples and families. There's to many people to review,suffice to say it's all about family.
