I’m not new to this author , love her writing and to me she’s pretty diverse and an all rounder ❣️📚 I love myself a good mafia romance so I couldn’t wait to get lost in between these pages 🫶🏼

At first I struggled with Luke being a woman ( the name ) but after a chapter or 2 Luke reminded me she’s a woman, all woman , a seductive , sultry and beautiful woman 😉

Luke is not only strong but independent and has had no qualms of looking after herself and the man that he has his eye on her is wise not to try and box her or her character in , give her freedom to be who she is …..

Nikolai is part of the Seattle mafia and a man of poet , he also happens to be a man that loves Luke , see everyone has an Achilles heel !? Anyhoo he declares his love and Luke runs , but he has his eye on her and when she needs him most he swoops in and “saves” her

These 2 had me all over the place but I love them and they captured my heart , their story may not be traditional but it’s beautiful 🥰

Hit on You is a Dark Romance that I freaking devoured in one sitting. This author is one of my favorites and any story she writes draws you in and makes you feel like you are part of the action. Her characters are real, fully developed and relatable plus they have a rawness to them that makes you love them even more. I must say out of all her books I have read this one definitely tops the list. This is a hot Romance that is fast paced and there is no stopping until you finish. Luke and Nikolai are simply wonderful characters. These two have incredible chemistry between them can they get the happiness they both deserve? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next I don’t want to give to much away. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

What a brilliant dark romance by an author who is new to me, I have never had the pleasure to read one of her books…. until now! Brooke did not disappoint one bit! I had no idea what I was going to get when I picked up her book and let me tell ya’ll…. she delivered! To me, this book had a great deal of intensity and romance, and I was not expecting such a well written story, like I said Brooke is a new author to me. The way she develops the story, and the characters drew me into the story immediately and she developed a world and what was going on around them so wonderfully. I found that this book had me thinking about it even when I wasn’t reading. Brooke had me wondering what was going to happen next, and of course gave me an excuse to sit down and read more!
I will have to say that Brooke did a wonderful job on this novel, and I can’t wait to read more books by this author, she definitely has a talent for creating wonderful characters and has a knack for great world building! Happy Reading!

Good mafia romance
This was a great book. Luke and Nikolai have a rough journey in becoming a couple. Luke has a strong, independent streak and doesn’t trust easily. Nikolai is Mafia and alpha all the way. Their chemistry is off the charts and made for some steamy passionate scenes. Will be looking for more from this author.

My first read by this author and it checked all the boxes. A spicy, suspenseful, romantic, and dramatic story. A woman determined and driven who wants to be ruled by no man. All the while the man whose love knows no bounds lurks in the shadows.

A year earlier, Luke Williams fled love in the middle of the night, determined to protect herself. Even though she left him, Nikolai Bazenhov knows where Lu landed and has kept tabs on her from a distance. However, when Lu finds herself in danger Nikolai steps in and uses everything at his disposal to keep her safe. Will that be enough? Will Lu accept the help? Can she keep herself protected from falling for Nikolai a second time? Will the two find their happily ever after?

This was the first book by May I have read but it will not be the last. I enjoyed her character development and well as world-building. Her writing was easy to follow as well as hard to put down. I would recommend this book.

Can I have a Nikolai? Strong, beautiful, deadly, alpha protector that wants to keep the woman he loves safe from his world of death and mayhem.

Luke, an independent woman with a man’s name, has some issues. Her father was living a double life with two families until he was forced to choose. A mother that willingly changed herself for every man so that she would finally convince one to stay, but they never did. A sister that hated her for leaving her behind. When Lu, as she preferred to be called, found the one guy made all of that disappear, she ran. Until Lu was someplace she wasn’t supposed to be, everything was going just fine.

Nikolai kept secrets. Nikolai kept secrets for a living as part of his Bratva. He kept secrets for a living in his security business. It was just what he did. Until he met Luke. Luke was everything he wanted in a woman. Until she ran. Nikolai let her have her space until she needed him. Now, he was never letting her leave him or their life together again. If he could keep her hot, little feet from disappearing.

As Nikolai and Luke work together and separately to discover if Lu is actually in danger and from whom, they uncover more than either was bargaining for and must be willing to let go of the past to survive the present. Nikolai and Luke are pure heat!! They are great together. They fight. They (lifting eyebrows) make up. They fight. She never wanted his help/protection anyway. He isn’t willing to let her go. So good. Excellent!

Hit on You

The first chapter can make or break a book sometimes. If it’s amazing then get sucked in early and if it’s not good you struggle to continue and sometimes you don’t. This book definitely fell into the former. I started reading in bed one evening and next thing I knew I was almost a quarter of the way through the book.

I was able to connect to Luke a lot more than. I would have wanted. Her mother was good at putting herself first and her children were after thoughts on a good day and because of that Luke is determined to be the exact opposite and though it’s good in theory it has it’s draw backs.

Nikolai is a big sexy Russian and will do anything to protect what is his.

This book hit all the boxes for me and I look forward to reading more by this author.

If you enjoy steamy romance and mafia type stories, this one’s for you! I had previously read some of Brooke May’s previous books and this one definitely has romance but added the element of dark romance to the mix. Luke, the strong female lead, has such an independent woman modal with everything she does until Nikolai comes along. Unfortunately, Luke stumbles onto a scene, wrong place wrong time, and is now in shock. Nikolai vows to be there for her and protect her at all costs of this event. This book is quite an emotional rollercoaster in such a good way. Definitely worth the time to read this story!

This is a really good second-chance mafia romance. I really enjoyed the plot line and the way May advanced her story. Nothing ever felt rushed but I never felt there was anything missing either. I loved the character development of Luke (Lu) and Nikolai. We get their backstory and how they were once a couple, but Lu ran after Nikolai expressed his feelings for her. Lu thoughts she’d left Nikolai behind, but he had been keeping a close eye on her all this time and she wasn’t as over him as she thought she was. If you are looking for a dark, steamy romance then look no further; this is the book for you. It’s a quick read, I didn’t want to put it down!

I really enjoyed this romance. Its a story full of twists and turns which keeps me hooked. The author does an amazing job with the characters and really brings them to life. I love how Luke is really independent and wants to do things her own way. And i love how fierce and protective Nikolai is.

Luke and Nikolai have had an intimate past. But when a Luke calls it off Nikolai isn’t ready to let her go so easily. Luke moves forward living her life the way she chooses with no thought for anyone. Meanwhile Nikolai keeps an eye on her from a distance.

When Luke witnessed an event that puts her in danger Nikolai is right there to protect her and keep her safe, but Luke isn’t going to give up without a fight. She’s not so sure she wants to be back with a man like Nikolai even if it keeps her safe

This story is a dark Mafia Romance. There’s is chemistry and lots of push and pull as both out characters fight for what they want. Will it be each other?

This book was ok for me. I’m not really into dark mafia so I had a had time engaging in the plot. I did like the chemistry between Luke and Nikolai. The Russian also made it a little hard for me to stay engaged too. I did like the different POV of the story.

This book is hitting me in all the areas that I need from a great mafia book. The main character is a very strong willed and determined female. I love the fact that her name is Luke. She is wanting to be in control of her own life and doesn’t want to feel like she needs to answer to anyone for what she wants in life. Her only downfall (as she sees it) is who she loves. He is dark and mysterious and everything that she feels she doesn’t need in life. It is one of those instances when you know what you want but feel that it isn’t good for you. This causes some tension with the main characters. It is a constant back and forth with them. Each page will have you wondering if they can overcome the issues that are in front of them? Will they be able to see how good they can be together? Will his position really strangle the freedom that she is craving? Those were the things that I constantly asked myself the whole time reading this book and what kept me turning the pages. It is a very steamy dark romance and I ate it up. It has everything from danger to angry love. This book won’t disappoint if you are a regular mafia romance reader. If you haven’t read that genre before be prepared for a steamy bumpy ride. It will be well worth it.

When I say this book is good! From the first chapter I loved it. At times I had to go get a drink of water. She writes it in the way we go back and forth between two POV’s. I love that I can genuinely get to know both of them because of this. The connection between the two characters is just electrifying. A mix of hate, love, and lust with two very strong willed people is something to look forward to turning every page.

Hit on You really does a good job at keeping me on the edge of my seat because it really kept me kinda guessing what was gonna happen next. Was I going to hot and bothered, scared, angry, or left wondering why? The characters are greatly described to the point I really could sit, see, and feel every emotion, every word, and every touch. This is a great piece of work and I would love to see what more great books Ms. May will write.

I enjoy Mafia romances! This was my first taste of Russian Mafia romance. Hit on You was good. I enjoyed it enough that I didn’t want to put it down. I’ve read this author before and she did not disappoint with this one. This author is creative and thorough so you know everything that’s going on. Not one to confuse because info is overlooked. She sucks the reader in. gets you invested in her characters. Which is what makes her good at her craft.
Luke and Nikolai are two people from different walks of life who happen to cross paths. However that path now has them forever connected, even if Luke isn’t aware. She runs away from Nikolai a year earlier when he uses the “L” word. Little did she know he knew where she was and kept tabs on her ever since. And when she becomes a witness to an unexpected incident gives him the opportunity to swoop back in.
Nikolai is a made man in his Seattle family. Doing everything his uncle asks of him, while his cousin does what he wants. But despite all that his wants for the one who got away never cease. It’s when protection is needed, does he jump on the opportunity to come back into her life. Protection that he may need to give against someone of his very own. He just doesn’t know who.
Who would be that careless? And is it connected to his sister’s death? Those are the questions he needs to answer.
Love, lust, anger, stubbornness, happiness, sadness, devastation this book has it all. I wanted to read more about these characters, I didn’t want it to end.

This book pulled me in right from the get go and I couldn’t put it down even once. Luke is a character I think a lot of people can relate with and she definitely is a character people will remember. Nikolai is a wonderful match for Luke and they definitely have a chemistry that leaps off the pages. There’s romance, suspense and much more to love about this story. I found myself trying to read slower just to make it last longer but unfortunately I was too excited to read the next page. It’s well written and has great characters. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

One night when Luke is leaving work she ends up hearing / seeing something tragic and she freezes. Now someone is out to get her but, who could it be? Nikolai makes his presence known to her and vows to protect her at all costs. His mafia connections and alpha tendencies help him almost always get what he wants. He wants Lu and doesn’t plan to
Let her go after the truth is revealed. Will
Nikolai be able to keep Lu safe? Will Lu take Nikolai back after running from him and never looking back? This was a fairly good read by an amazing author!

Luke Williams is a woman who knows what she wants. She had to make a life for herself outside of her family’s past. She knows who she does and does not want to be.
Nikolai is a powerful, protective and oozes sexy.
After Luke leaves him, he opts to give her space but keeps a close eye on her. After a terrifying even, Nikolai swoops right back into her life to protect her. Luke isn’t quite sure she’s ready to let him back in.

Dark mafia romance full of secrets, chemistry, and suspense!

I do wish with all the Russian language we had some type of glossary on how to pronounce each of them.

Every book I have read by this author has impressed me and this one was no different! This was also special as it is her 30th book to be published, so I was happy to be one of the first people to read it!

This dark romance was a quick read for me, a stand-alone novel that focuses on Luke and Nikolai. I love how Luke is determined to prove herself, as well as her ‘strong, independent’ woman complex. Her chemistry with Nikolai is tangible to anyone reading the story as well, which is something I love about the book. I definitely enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by the author!

Brooke May created this romance with the Russian Bratva finding Luke. Luke hates her name and doesn’t want to end up like her mother. Growing up her mother was always looking for a man to support her, leaving Luke to take care of her sister. When her sister follows in her mother’s footsteps, Luke ends up in Las Vegas with Nikolai Bazhenov. When she begins getting feelings for him, Luke flees and goes to Seattle. She gets a job as a burlesque dancer and lives in a studio apartment above a bar run by her friend, Tony. As Luke is leaving work, she unwittingly witnesses the murder of her boss Eryn. Now someone else has a target on Luke’s back. Tony tells her she needs security, and walks to Nikolai. Shocked, Luke can’t believe the man that she ran away from has found her.

Nikolai was a very secretive man throughout the entire book. The story alternates between the views of both characters and his lifestyle gives the perfect background for finding people. I thought his family was very supportive of his obsession with Luke. It appears that the Bratva puts family first. The thirst for power seems to be the predominant reason for the death of Eryn and Luke’s life is on the line, but not in a manner one would expect. The unpredictable elements added into this book makes Hit On You more than just a steamy romance novel.

Luke Willaims is a woman who knows what she wants to do, even if sometimes it is hard. Luke has been intimately involved with Nikolai Bazhenov, but she decides she needs space. Nikolai keeps tabs on Luke and allows her to have her space, but he is not giving her up. That all changes though when she sees something she was not meant to see. Nickolai is back by her side but Luke is trying her best to push him away. Will Luke finally give into what her heart truly wants?

I really enjoyed this one. Complex story that had several twists that kept me guessing. Nickolai oozes power and charisma. Chemistry is off the charts. Great story.

Another fantastic book from this author! I really love her writing style and have enjoyed many of her books and love how versatile she is when writing. This book was a brilliant read, I really enjoyed it. I love a good dark romance and this one definitely delivered on that front! I absolutely loved Lu and Nikolai! Lu was a wonderful, independent female lead but she also still had that small amount of vulnerability to make her need someone in her life. Nikolai was a strong male lead but again he had this side to him that wasn’t overpowering and he realised that he needed to let Lu have her independence but be there when she needed him. there was so much chemistry between the two of them and the author really made this come alive in the story!
Overall a fantastic dark romance and one that I would highly recommend!

What a brilliant dark romance by an author who never fails to impress. I never know what I am going to get when I pick up one of her books as she has done such an amazing job at making sure they are all different.
For me, this book had a real intensity about it that I hadn’t been expecting. It drew me into the characters and the story going on around them. I found that this book lingered with me when I wasn’t reading it. I kept thinking about what might happen and found myself making excuses to be able to pick the book up again.
This author really does know how to write an amazing book. This has strong characters and a great plot to support them. This book is definitely worth your time!

Luke is a determined, independent woman who has struggled through life and had to look after herself from a young age, until she met Nikolai. He has the power to see through the layers she has built up into her heart but when he declares his love to her, she bolts and runs away from his declaration as she is falling also but is scared to love him back.

Nikolai is deadly, powerful, and not someone to mess with, part of the biggest Mafia family his reputation proceeds him but when he met Lu his world has been spinning off the axis. One night when he strikes up the courage to put his feelings out on the table, she slips away.

Lu has moved on with her life until one night she witnesses something to put her in danger but who comes in like a knight, but Nikolai and he is not going to let her go this time.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and all her books are brilliant and full of thrilling intrigue and twists. Luke or Lu as she likes to be called is a strong independent woman who has looked after herself for years, but I loved the way the character of Nikolai is strong enough to let her have her space but demands the alpha male when needed. The story is fast paced and will have you at the edge of your seat.

The chemistry between the two main characters comes of the pages in waves and the intermit scenes are full of steam and passion. I really enjoyed reading this book and will definitely read more in the future.

Hit On You by Brooke May is her first dark romance- a contemporary romantic suspense with danger, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, drama, emotion, tension, intensity, and intrigue. This is s standalone story that had me completely invested right from the get-go.
As I have mentioned before, Brooke May has a real talent for crafting captivating stories that pull you in and keep you hooked. As her first dark romance I thought she nailed the tension and suspense while still casting interesting, likeable, completely developed characters who have their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. It was so easy to connect with them and invest in their story.
I started reading this book just before bedtime, thinking I would read a few chapters as a wind-down before bed…..But, instead, I ended up reading well past my bedtime, hooked by the story, reading avidly just so I could find out how it all played out in the end.
Looking forward to more dark romance from Ms. May!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Brooke May!
