My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elusive Surrender is Book Three in the Sinful Duets Series. The set contains the story Elusive as well as the story Tenacious. It is a romantic suspense with action, danger, mystery, intrigue, suspense, crime, chemistry, passion, and romance. The first story centers around the characters of Sheldon and Alexis. Sheldon is a bodyguard for a prestigious mafia family. When he makes a stop at a local coffee shop with his fellow bodyguards, he finds himself jumping to the aid of a beautiful woman. Alexis is a hairdresser from a salon down the street from the coffee shop. When she drops her business card on the floor, a creepy customer picks it up and tries hitting on her. Sheldon happens to be walking by and immediately jumps in to save Alexis and chases the creep out of the coffee shop. Both Sheldon and Alexis feel an instant attraction to one another. When Alexis becomes the target of a sex trafficker Sheldon is determined to protect her at all costs. A game of cat and mouse ensues as the sex trafficker is also determined to have Alexis at any cost. The second story centers around the characters of Nick and Allie. Nick will do anything to protect Allie from those that seek to harm her. Although the two are attracted to one another Allie is hesitant to let anyone get close to her because of being hurt in the past. Nick is determined to prove to her how much he cares for her and that he will never hurt her. Two exquisitely written stories with characters that draw you into their lives and hearts. Strong female leads who you root for, strong men with a soft side that ooze sex appeal, and evil sex traffickers that you hope get what they deserve. The author has a superb writing style with an attention to detail that brings the story to life.

This is the third book in this series and I have enjoyed every book so far and this one was just as good as the last two. The two main characters are Sheldon & Alexis. They’re such good mcs and I enjoyed reading their story and watching them navigate through their tricky relationship and romance. They definitely had chemistry and it was hot hot hot. I think they’re my favorite couple so far!
This book was well written and I enjoyed the story that the author gave us and I cannot wait to read more of their work in the future!
Happy reading!

This duet is an awesome read that I had a hard time putting down. The first book in this duet is Elusive. Alexis and Sheldon’s story is one you don’t want to miss out on. The second book in this Duet is called Tenacious and is Nick and Allie’s story. Both of these stories contain danger, action, strong men and women who have found themselves in a dangerous situation. I have loved everything I have read by this author and this series is no different. Each of these books are filled with great characters. I am kept at the edge of my seat while turning pages. I became completely invested in the outcome of these characters’ story. I know that everytime I pick up a book by this author I will not be disappointed. Every book in this series kept getting better. I am always intrigued by the story line and kept entertained throughout the entire book. I highly recommend reading this, and the entire series you will not regret it. I can’t wait to read my next book by this author.

Elusive Thank goodness Sheldon was there when Alexis was getting harassed by some crazy man in a coffee shop. Alexis didn’t realize then but, Sheldon was going to be around a lot. Luckily she’s a hair stylist and Sheldon needs one for one of his clients. This book was crazy. I can’t believe the stuff that happened in the book. Sheldon and his team are my hero’s! I need more books by this author soon

Tenacious was just so good. I have read a few books by this author but this has got to be my ultimate favorite. This author knows how to give the readers a perfect balance of heat and mystery. This book can be read as a stand-alone if you wanted to. I would recommend reading all the books in the series as they are all great reads.

This book focuses on Allie who is an ER nurse and is very good at her job. Nick is a bodyguard and Nick has other reasons for wanting to be the one to guard Allie. Nick keeps trying to break down Allie and get to the center of who she really is because of his own reasons. Allie is very attracted to
Nick but, tries to keep her distance. This book has a lot of danger, traffickers, romance and action ( both good and bad kinds )

The book was written well, the characters are great and I think the story will definitely keep your attention as It did mine.

Elusive Surrender is the third amazing collection of Elusive and Tenacious, the third in this deliciously dark and sinful duet by Via Mari. They are book five and six in the Billionaire Bodyguards series which you will love, love, love.

Elusive: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 5) by Via Mari is one of my favourites. There is lots of explosive action and deadly suspense, danger, and secrets. I love the alpha hot and sexy men that go above and beyond to protect. They are sexy and charming, witty, and smouldering, dangerous and deadly.

Sheldon and the team have been assigned to protect Alexis when an extremely dangerous man sets his sight on her. It becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse because he will stop at nothing to get her and will go through anyone to get what he wants.

This is another hot and steamy read and a page turner from start to finish.

Tenacious is the sixth book in this titillating Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. This Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance story is steaming to the point of boiling and has left me wanting more. I have loved the other books in the series, but I think Via has outdone herself with this instalment. I always know I am in safe hands when I get one of Via’s books because her imagination knows no bounds and always gives us a story that has everything needed to make it explode of the page. It is only by sheer willpower that I refrained from turning each page quickly to get to find out what was in store.

Tenacious is indeed the right name for this book where these bodyguards are full of sexiness and alphaness that makes you want to hang on and enjoy the ride and what a ride. With plenty of action and adventure, lots of danger and mystery, buckets full of intrigue and drama, sex trafficking and bad guys, and woohoo, the chemistry and I am not talking about the type in a lab, you find yourself in need of a good stiff drink.

Emotions run rampant as we discover the subtleties that Via has hidden amongst her narrative over the course of the series and just what is in store for us next is anyone’s guess and that is just what I like about her work. Bring it on!

Elusive:Dark Millionaire Mafia Romance by Via Mari is the fifth book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This is such a brilliant and intense series that somehow just seems to keep getting better. This book had everything going for it – amazing characters, strong chemistry and brilliant writing. It is fast paced and exciting from start to finish. The characters don’t have a typical start to their journey but it is one that hooked me immediately.
Via Mari is an author I only discovered relatively recently but she has easily become one of my go to authors. Whenever I see a book with her name on it I don’t hesitate to give it a go and I am never disappointed. This is a fantastic series and one I would highly recommend!
Tenacious: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance by Via Mari is the sixth book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This is a fantastic series that just gets better with each book. This has easily become my favourite book in the series, although I’m sure that will only last for as long as it takes to read the next one.
This book really is brilliant from start to finish. I could not put it down once I had started reading, I was far too engrossed in the characters and their story.
This author knows exactly how to create a gripping book. Each one I read is exactly the same and I never hesitate to pick up a book by her. This is a series that i would highly recommend.

Elusive Surrender Box set is another wonderful set of stories from a very talented author. This box set features 2 books – Elusive and Tenacious.

Elusive – Sheldon and Alexis

This series just continues to get better and better. Elusive was a fantastic 5 star read, I loved every single minute of it! I love this author, she had such an amazing writing ability, her stories are just an absolute pleasure to read – she creates some brilliant characters and I am always completely absorbed in their story. I love Sheldon, he was definitely book boyfriend material! I loved Sheldon for her dominance but Alexis was certainly one who could hold her own but the passion and sparks between them was off the charts! Their story is definitely a steamy one!! Fantastic read and highly recommended!!

Tenacious – Allie and Nick

Yet again another 5-star read from Ms Mari – absolutely love her books! Allie and Nick’s story was so captivating to read. I loved them both so much. Allie was a great female lead -strong, sassy and definitely independent! The chemistry between the two of these characters was scorching hot – I mean seriously hot! I think they are definitely my favourite couple from this series (and I have loved all the previous ones too)! There was so much going on in this story that I literally could not put it down and read it in one sitting! Ms Mari’s writing is so exciting to read, she brings her story to life on every single page and I adore her work. I cannot wait to read more from her in the future and I certainly recommend this 5-star book to other readers!

Sheldon and Alexa’s story

I loved this book. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books pull you in and the characters are steamy and always bring the action. This book is no different. This is the fifth book in this series and I highly suggest reading it from the beginning, it will help your enhancement of this series. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life on each page. They made the story fun and entertaining to read. I read this book in one sitting as it is that great. In this book we get to see Sheldon. He is a body guard that has been assigned to protect a woman from a trafficker. Alexis will put his skills to the test. What he did not expect was the attraction he felt for her. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book. It is worth the pick up!

Nick and Allie’s story

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up and have read every one of her books. One of my favorite things about this author is her ability to bring the story to life on every page. Her writing skills and attention to details not only give her stories a realistic feel but she makes her characters pop. This book is no different. It is the sixth book in this series which I highly suggest reading all the previous books as they are that awesome. I loved being pulled into the story from the beginning as well as kept engaged to the end. This is a fast paced story that is full of action and romance. The characters are strong and connectable. They give life to the story. In this book we get to see Nick’s story and he is determined to break Allie’s walls down. But the big question remains, will he pick up those pieces? I loved their growth throughout the story. Their chemistry is hot and steamy and you don’t want to miss them. This is truly a great story that I loved and I can’t wait to see what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book and this author.
