Beast (Popov Bratva Book 5) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Angela Shirley

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Adrik was a lost and lonely child, broken by his father and having the determination that he will not be like him drives him to seek a better life, although that better life brings him in to the Popov Bratva.

Being in the folds he has viewed her from a far as he would never be able to get close to the Princess, which is Annika, but when her life is threatened, she requests the most unlikely bodyguard Adrik. Alone in the lake house will she see through the veil of ugliness and see the true heart of the Beast?

This is the fifth book in this series, and this is a heart-warming beautiful book. It can be read as a stand-alone story, but it would not hurt to read the series if not yet read. Adrik is such a strong character with a horrendous past but shows the determination to work to get better and the overall goal to be nothing like his father.

The chemistry between these two jumped off the page and the forbidden love angle adds the depth to the story as it goes along. I loved the twists and turns of the story and that the pasts intertwine to make the plot even more interesting. I loved how strong the female character Annika was and that it was not her nature to back down from anything. I could not put this book down and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Revenge Never Rests (Tallie Brown Suspense Book #2) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Angela Hayes

Revenge Never RestsRevenge Never Rests by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Revenge Never Rests is the second gripping book in the Tallie Brown Suspense series by Laurie Lewis. As this story follows on from book one, I highly recommend reading Secrets Never Die before starting on this instalment.
This is a suspenseful story full of dramatic developments, intrigue, twists, action, adventure, mystery, secrets, lies, conspiracy, agendas, plots, emotion, family, friendship, tension, (clean) romance, and a quest for answers.
As I have mentioned before, I look forward to reading everything Ms. Lewis produces, and this book was no exception. This story made it so hard to choose a favourite out of all her books, leaving me no choice but to add it to my favourites.
Tallie Brown has her work cut out for her here, tracking down missing people- but with so many lies, secrets, and cover-ups- the danger mounts and stakes are raised as she embarks on her quest for answers.
Another cleverly woven and suspenseful story, and I really enjoyed how Ms. Lewis kept the tension and intrigue at such a high level the whole way through- it made for quite a gripping read. I loved the characters- they are really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I loved seeing them continue to develop and grow over the course of the story/series…. and seeing how well Tallie’s circle support, and work together.
Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laurie Lewis!

Beast (Popov Bratva Book 5) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by M Policicchio

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t know if a main character since the fairy tales days has been so misjudged simply on his looks. Adrik deserved so much better than his father and the people who mistreated him simply because of his looks. I am so happy Adrik found Annika.

Adrik had met with much misfortune in his life. At 8, he was disfigured by a dog. At 17, his father kicked him out of the house. At 19, Adrik found himself on the streets, homeless. Adrik figured out a plan and put it into motion. He joined the Popov Bratva and sought to make a better life for himself. Just as things were starting to turn around for him, tragedy struck and Adrik lost the people most important to him except for his Bratva brothers. Many years after working his way up through the ranks, Adrik is a trusted soldier. He gets a special assignment, to guard the boss’s daughter. The only problem is that Adrik has been crushing on her since joining the Bratva 8 years ago.

Annika is not like all the Bratva princesses. She is weird, quiet, and shy. Ever since recovering from a childhood trauma, Annika has liked playing her piano more than being with people. After a recent attempt on her life, Annika has been confined to a wheelchair. When Annika’s stalker reappears, she agrees to go into hiding but she wants to pick the guards. She picks Adrik and his partner. As Annika gets to know Adrik more, the more she knows that he is the one for her. But so much stands in their way.

When the stalker takes things to the next level, his identity is discovered. Adrik is haunted by this. Things come to a head when Annika is kidnapped and Adrik is left to the Bratva to be dealt with.

Let me say that I am a mafiosa at heart. I have not spent much time getting to know the Russian Bratva but if all are like the Popov Bratva, I will find room in my omerta’d heart for the brotherhood. Excellent story. Fantastic characters. Strong, sassy women!!! Just the right amount of heat. What is not to love? Not much!!!

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance Series Book 2) by Jane Suen – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2)Reckless Heart by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reckless Heart is the 2nd book in the Second Chances romance series. It could be enjoyed as a stand alone book. There are crossover characters and references, but there is enough background details provided that it doesn’t feel lacking. I really loved this book. Brad and Mary were friends in high school, and both had crushes on each other, but Mary ended up with one of Brad’s friends. A wedding brought them back into each other’s lives and a mutual friend pushed them together. They spent a holiday weekend reminiscing about the past. Will they both speak up about their feelings, both past and future? Or dwell on the hurt from teenage stupidity? Or perhaps bury the past and start over? Wouldn’t you like to know……

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jane Suen is a first time author for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Reckless Heart, especially being the second book in the Second Chance Romance series. Overall, this was a pretty good book. The characters were realistic, although I felt that some of their inner dilemmas were a little childish. Holding onto a hurt from ten years prior (when both parties were mostly oblivious to the feelings of the other party) seemed rather extreme to me, but did lend the story its main idea so it did work for the story. Jane Suen created a wonderful, realistic world as well. I did feel like the story ended rather abruptly, but overall, this was a good, quick read. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick romance.

3/5 stars
This was my first read by this author. The story line has potential to be very solid but the writing style didn’t mesh with me well. I felt like sometimes the word choices tried to be too unique and deep which lost me. The beginning of the book didn’t match the rest of the chapters to me and left me confused when I started reading the rest of the beginning.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is part of a series, but it works as a stand alone book. I have not read any of the other books yet, but I still enjoyed this one. The main characters are Adrik and Annika. Adrik has facial disfiguration from his childhood and hides his face. Annika requests that Adrik guard her, and they grow close during that time. The story was a little predictable about the mafia princess falling in love with her guard, but it was well written and enjoyable. The best part of the story was that both characters had trauma that they pushed through. I loved that they helped each other grow and overcome their trauma.

I really enjoyed this book. Connor our motocross champion and Sienna the downhill skiing Golden Girl. The paralympics are coming soon and both are training their hearts out at the same closed resort. Kurt the coach has kept it on the down low that Connor is there training as well. Sienna’s mom would lose her cool if she knew.

Sienna has had every move she makes planned and monitored during her entire skiing career, she is now starting to wonder what else is out there for her to enjoy and explore.

Connor lost his leg just below the knee in a motocross accident. He is missing the speed and is looking at downhill skiing to fill that void.

Will these two put animosities aside or will it come between their dreams.

5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a fun contemporary romance read that I so enjoyed and I already highly recommend this book!

Tenley and Teagan….Teagan and Tenley…..can I saw these too were truly a match and the banter back and forth….oh my goodness. Tenley is a sharpshooter, pod cast for giving advise on “practical” relationships and really does not believe in love. Teagan is classified as the “love guru” and truly believe is love so whole hardheartedly….challenges Tenley to spend just one week at a beautiful Hawaiian resort of Kamana Wanalaya….the catch..its couples week..and Tenley only finds out upon arrival….and then getting with other couples at a dinner table…oh my gosh!! The fun, angst, banter…and that is just getting started.

I loved this story so much. It has fantastic characters and their development over the storyline, the hot sizzle between Teagan and Tenley and just overall fun. This author is new to me and I so excited to see what I can read next from this talented author!!

I absolutely adored this story and finished it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down! I loved that our female protagonist Tenley is the practical one in regards to love and Teagan our male protagonist is the Love Guru, who advocates for love. My favorite part of this story is that while also being hilarious, it is such a sweet tale. I loved the characters growth and development. I also enjoyed that we got to see view points from not only our main characters, but from the other characters in the story. I haven’t read the author’s other works, but I definitely am going to have to, so I can get to know the secondary characters better! This is definitely a fantastic book for lovers of romantic comedies.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brad and Mary were friends of the same group growing up until Mary embarrassed him and broke his heart. 10 years later he still holds that grudge. Reading the book, I was like ok it’s 10 years later…get over it!!! To say Brad annoyed me throughout the book is an understatement but oh well. When Brad shows up back in his hometown for a wedding, one friend arranges him and Mary to be at the same diner at the same time and then she runs out leaving them to have breakfast together.
They end up spending some time together even running into Mary’s ex who she ended up breaking Brads heart over. Will Brad be able to get over it and forgive Mary or will they just spend some time together as friends before Brad goes back to his life of making tiny houses? I guess I thought the book was well written. I have loved other books by this author.

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2)Reckless Heart by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really heartwarming sweet, second chance romance story. I had read the first book which I really enjoyed, so was happy to read the next book in the series.
As with the first book, I would have liked the book to be longer as i felt it came to quite an abrupt end. There was so much more scope to add to the story and at only 150 pages it felt more like a novella.

In saying that I really did enjoy Brad and Mary’s story. Both are great characters and I could easily relate to them. Both had crushes on the other as teenagers but were to shy to do anything about it. In fact Mary broke Brad’s heart when she ended up in a long term relationship with his best friend, who she has recently broke up with this. This time Brad is determined to get the girl.
The story is well written and flows well with enough action to keep you entertained and gripped by the story. I really would have liked to have read more about Brad and Mary.

Definitely recommend, especially if you want a quick read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Mastermind is a brother’s best friend, billionaire boss, and a suspenseful contemporary romance. It is Book One in the WaterFyre Rising series but can be read as a standalone. I love getting to read new authors and let me tell you Nadia Han did not disappoint with this book. Her characters come alive drawing you into the story as if you were their friend.

We start by getting a flashback scene of the past where we find out what WaterFyre is. This scene also draws us into our main Hero’s life as he grew up. I loved that we got to see how his past kind of shaped his future and shaped him.

Remi and Audri know each other as she is his best friend’s little sister, though it takes them growing up and seeing each other again after years to realize they have a connection and a lot of things in common. Can they both overcome their past to make a future together? Is a romance worth jeopardizing his friendship? Will she even be okay in the dark world that his past has made his life go in? Find out all this and more as you read this book that has passion, romance, friendship, danger, and suspense all.

This is a fake dating story, but that doesn’t last long as they start to break down each other’s walls and help heal each other’s hearts and past.

This is the second book in this amazing series and I must admit I can’t wait to read the next one. I love Nadia Han’s writing style and the way she makes her characters come alive, making me feel like I’m right there with them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author continues to impress me with The WaterFyre Rising Series. I enjoyed The Daredevil more than book 1. And I can’t wait for it to continue, knowing there’s 5 guys who have been friends and creating a video game since they were teens. The best part is so far both books work extremely well as standalone novels, but why after reading one would you jot want to read the others?
Book 2 is a friends to lovers romance. Royce and Michelle are part of the same group of friends. Royce being one of the guys and Michelle being really good friends with Audri(Remi’s girl and Grayson’s sister) brought her into the group.
Michelle is continuously fighting the demands of her past. Eating disorders and body dysmorphia that she developed as a child growing up in the pageant world, where everyone has to be perfect. These things about her are not accepted easily in past relationships, she’s viewed as tainted. It wasn’t till some guy saved her life that she decided to fight back against her demons.
Royce doesn’t believe in love. In his eyes all it leads to is broken hearts and abandonment. Since that’s the life he lived. His dad left and his mom suffered, despite his aunt showing him all the love in the world. It wasn’t till he saved a girl’s life on his property that he decided to change his path and just keep a distance.
These two are broken souls and the author does a phenomenal job showing the growth and healing they experience. These two characters were written to need each other, more than they realize. And it turned out beautifully.

Remi, a self made billionaire after witnessing something he shouldn’t have at 15 years old consumes companies and reorganizes them ruthlessly. His past has made him cold, and uninterested in relationships and always looking over his shoulder.

She’s in a bad way with a piece of crap boss when Remi takes over the very company she works for. The sparks between them are intense and dark broody Remi doesn’t want to destroy bright and hopeful Audri but the passion between them is completely undeniable.

National Parks is a beautifully written story about a couple that has a second chance at love. Phoebe and Enzo are a couple that loves each other deeply but is not ready for the love that they truly desire. The story takes you all over from Montana to Japan. You get to see this couple fall in love in these beautiful places. There is a lot of angst. There are also the themes of self-love and friendship, which I absolutely love. It is hard to read about this couple that loves each other so much going through so much heartache. I was delighted to see Phoebe and Enzo get their happy ending! There are strong themes in this book dealing with suicide, but if you enjoy angst and happily ever afters, you need to read this book.

Michelle is a travel blogger and when her travel’s take her to Iceland she did not expect to met Royce in the middle of the trip. The privilege billionaire who thinks he is god but as she gets to know the real person see feels the chemistry building but can her past be put back there or will all the insecurities come through.

This is the second book in the WaterFyre series and I loved the first book and this one does not disappoint at all. I loved the way the relationship started rocky but as you read through the book you slow start to see the characters inside and the chemistry which works its way through to shine at the end.

I loved the free spirit nature of Michelle’s character and that she was could be herself with no repercussions and able to showed a brilliant side to her. Royce’s character was full of charm, but I loved that he was so clever but so clueless to the attraction was a redeeming quality.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this great series and the see who the next billionaire will be.

Perfect! I hate this book, as in why am I not falling in love at a Hawaiian resort right now? Based on the synopsis I could figure that Teagan and Tinley are going to end up together, but watching them figure out their love and having fun on the island is sweet. It was nice to see Tinley come into her own, and make realizations she didn’t think she would ever see. I knew there was going to be some sort of drama, and even when I expected it, and it did come, my heart was still broken for this sweet couple. I love that they both made friends with the other couples staying at the resort and that carried over into their everyday lives after the week long vacation was over. I would be really interested to read about their love connections, especially Jacoby and Jenna, that one seems like a fun ride.

The Daredevil is available now in Paperback and eBook.
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Meet the Author: Nadia Han is a dreamer, a visionary, and a believer in karma and kindness. She lives in New England with her family and spends most of her time crafting stories. When she is not writing, she practices yoga, reads, explores nature, and eats all kinds of foods.

Reader’s Thoughts: Royce, the owner of Excursions for you endured many negative events as a child that haunted him, keeping him from loving another being. Michelle, a travel blogger, enjoys traveling the world allowing her to see the beauty in the world, making her forget the ugliness in her life.

This friends to lover romance is the second installment in the WaterFyre Rising series but can easily be read as a standalone. I thoroughly enjoyed how Han put the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride, allowing the reader to feel as if they are right there along for the ride with each character. The fake dating that quickly led to a relationship was a great addition to the story line. This one was a little slow to start for me but once it picked up I couldn’t put it down. This would not deter me from recommending The Daredevil to a friend. The mysterious twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more. And the spice, OH MY! I am excited to see what installment three has in store for Han’s readers.

Favorite Quote: “I dare myself to survive – to play pretend that everything is alright.”

Caution: This book contains sexual content, profanity, violence, mentions of suicide, and eating disorders. The Daredevil is recommended for readers age 18+
