Beast (Popov Bratva Book 5) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Dawn Brown

Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Adrik had a horrible childhood with some trauma that resulted in facial dis-figuration. After living on the streets as a teen, he finally gets up the courage to ask the Russian mafia for a job. After being hired, he fell in love with a mafia princess but he cannot get close to her or let her see his face.
Annika was attacked five months ago leaving her wheelchair bound. When the psycho came back for her, her mafia family sends her off to a secluded house in the middle of the night under watch. She requests Adrik be a guard. Once there, the two grow close but he must protect her at all cost and he is not suppose to get close to her.
Opinion
This is the fifth book in the series but the first one I’ve read. I found that I was able to follow the story quite easily, even though I haven’t read any other books in the series.
I’m a lover of mafia romances. This book is a lot less violent that other mafia books that I have read and would be perfect for those interested but squeamish.
The story is cute, mafia princess falls in love with a guard. I just found it odd that Adrik would not let Annika see his face and would cover it up with hair and a hoodie. If he is guarding her, he should be able to see all around them at all times. Covering your face up would not allow this. Other than this oversight, I think the book was a great and sweet love story.
