Punk (Popov Boys #6)Punk by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book is the Popov Boys series. This is one of those series where each installment is just as good if not better than the installment before which just goes to show how great the author is at keeping the stories fresh and with new ideas.
This is a great age gap romance which is also full of danger, Suspense, kidnappings and risk being taken that could be lethal.
I really like Efrem’s character. He is trying to make up for being born into a family who have done wrong. He doesn’t want to be the same so he risks his life every night trying to make the city safe and protecting innocent people disguised as Punk.
When he takes a job as bookkeeper for a record studio the story really gets interesting when the attraction he feels to his boss Miranda is really intense.
Miranda is a strong willed, determined woman who is on a mission to find Punk who she believes is responsible for murdering her brother. However she is asking questions and looking for answers in places that are going to put her life in danger.
What will happen when Miranda realised that Efrem is Punk? Will the chemistry they have between them be enough to overcome that and find the truth or will Miranda’s hunt for her brothers killer put them in a situation that is dangerous to both of their lives.
This is an edge of your seat Mafia romance which you won’t be able to put down and the twists and turns will keep you guessing from beginning to end

Punk was a brilliant read! From beginning to end I was completely hooked on what I was reading. Miranda is such a strong character, I really liked reading about her. There was such a great connection between her and Efrem, you could really feel it coming off the pages. I really like the authors writing, she keeps your interest throughout the story and I found myself struggling to put the book down at times as I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I’ve dipped in and out of this series but I absolutely must make sure that I read them all. A fantastic read and one that I highly recommend.

Punk (Popov Boys #6)Punk by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Efrem Popov is struggling to find his space in the world, being from one of the most dangerous families their reputation always muddies the water to who he is. Once making a deal with his grandfather to disband the illegal side of the family he is still hiding his secret from his family, but one day he decides to leave the family business and find a job on his own. That’s when he finds Miranda and she recuses him more than she will ever know.

Miranda is locked in a nasty divorce and is struggling with her business until one day in walks a young man looking for a job, she has a opening for, he sets to work discovering what her ex-husband and friend was up to and finds a whole heap of dog poo to unravel. Efrem helps Miranda uncover the embezzlement, but more drama follows when her stepdaughter shows up pleading for her to stay with Miranda.

As the story goes on Miranda and Efrem discover feelings for each other but with Efrem’s dark secret and Miranda’s ex-husband can the couple survive the pressures and become one with each other.

OMG, I love this series. I have devoured every book but this one I confess is my favourite as in the other books you get a glimpse of Efrem, but this book lets him shine. I love the interaction with his family and that the emotion of him being lost in a world of violence. Miranda is the quiet calm to Efrem, and the chemistry sparks off the page regarding these to beautiful characters.

As always, the story is well written and flows effortlessly drawing you in to the world of Bratva and Efrem’s reality. I hope there are more books in this series as I am not ready to give up the Popov’s just yet.

Wow! This book far exceeded my expectations! I don’t typically read this specific genre, but I am so glad I decided to pick this up. I read this book as a standalone and felt like I got through with little to no confusion. After finishing it though, I’m going back to pick up all the previous books in the series because it was *that* fantastic. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, so all I will say is that this is an absolute must read. Leslie Georgeson has made it to my author watch list after this amazing book. If you enjoy romantic suspense books with a Mafia theme, you will absolutely love Punk!

Another wonderful book in this series! I enjoyed the secrets, the unknown and the storyline. We really are able to dig deep into the thoughts and lives of this couple. Not everything is as it seems as we learn the “whys” of a few things and the “hows” of others. I really liked that Miranda is a strong businesswoman that started her own company. That showed her gumption of sticking even when things get tough. Efrem is the hollywood sexy guy and has a determination to redeem his past and cross boundaries with his new boss.

Overall it is a good story. We see characters from the past stories as they become involved with Efrem or just cameos. Either way its always nice to see them. The story seemed overlong at times with all the introspection of their own feelings over and over but it did give no doubt to what each was thinking. I did like the title especially when the definition(s) popped up!

Just finished this book and had to rush over to write this review while it’s fresh in my mind. First off this is not something I usually read about (Genre). I also don’t like clowns so I was a little scared to read it lol. Luckily they were only mentioned briefly. However, this book was way better than I expected. It was hot and dangerous! The steam was on level 10. I don’t know a whole lot about Shibari but I definitely learned a lot from this book. Apart from the rope play, the drama and action was also very good. The French Mafia? Uncle Peter? The ex-wife? And let’s talk about the cliff hanger we were left on. One of the best I’ve read ever. I immediately put the release date of book 2 in my Calendar. Liza you did such a wonderful job with this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and this series as a whole. The author did a wonderful job pulling me into the story and keeping me entertained. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my opinion that you read all the books prior to this because you don’t want to miss out on great reading. I loved Miranda and Efrem, they had instant chemistry and their story evolved from there. There are other characters in this story that you will get to know as well. I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to say that this is a must read. I highly recommend this book.

I struggled when I first started reading Punk. I just couldn’t get interested. However despite that I pushed forward being I was told I should check this book out. Well it wasn’t bad, it just started slow. The author wrote an interesting journey between a vigilante and someone who is hunting vigilante. However the characters aren’t aware of their unforeseen connection. Yet both, Miranda and Efrem, are connected in a way where they can’t resist one another. Despite being boss and employee. Despite being neighbors.
Efrem can’t stop what he feels is his penance for the things he did in the past.
Miranda is looking to get justice for her brother Marcus.
What will Miranda do, when she finds out about Efrem’s biggest secret?
Will Efrem actually tell her?
There’s a lot going on, but not enough, that it takes away from what the author wrote. The different story lines are all connected; you just have to read to see how. It may actually fascinate you. I also haven’t read any of the books that came prior, which says this works wonderfully as a standalone vs just a series.
Would I recommend this book? Sure, just know if there’s any part that feels slow, just keep reading it will all work out. It did for me! Now it is time for me to check out the 5 books prior to this one.

4 Stars

This was so good! Cassandra and Chandler both grew up in the circus. Cassandra’s parents were magicians and she always idolized Chandler who is an aerialist. Wanting to become one herself, she finally made it to Dreamers Academy where she met Chandler and got to learn from him. Chandler always enjoyed her parent’s performances. Their lives were entwined before they even met. Once they did meet, they were enraptured with each other but teacher and student relationships are taboo. Aside from the obvious struggles, they also have secrets that come to light and endanger them both.

This book was refreshing. The author added the art of Shibari into the story of which I knew nothing about. Not only did I get to enjoy an original story but I learned something as well. The story was filled with romance, intrigue and suspense.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obedience (Ties That Bind) is book 1 of the Ties That Bind series. The story is about Cassandra Blackstone. At 13 years old she loses her parents and the thing that she holds onto is the memory of the circus aerialist performance that she saw with her parents the day before they died. She becomes enthralled with the performer Chandler Monreau. Years later at age 25, she gets the chance to audition for Chandler’s family’s academy thus kicking off the attraction between the two.

I liked this book. The circus backdrop was awesome. This was the first story I have read with this sort of setting and it was a very fresh take on a romance. I’m not a fan of age-gap romance but I was comfortable with the way this one was portrayed. This was a nice slow-burn romance that really gave time for the characters’ chemistry to develop. There was also a nice little murder mystery, which is always a good thing. Although the pacing is a bit slow in the middle, the story has great romance and a bit of spice. I really enjoyed this story.

This is a new author for me and I have to say I really enjoyed this book and it won’t be the last book by this fantastic author that I read. Being set around a circus is not something I believe I have read before so it was refreshing to have a new and interesting setting. It was most definitely a slow burn between the wonderful lead characters Cassandra and Chandler and just enough suspense to keep you hooked and turning page after page. With it being the first book in this series I just know I will be back for more.

First time reader of this author Liza Snow. Honestly I found the book to be an awesome read. A real emotional thrill ride. I have not had the pleasure of reading a book where they were an Aerialist until now. It added a real layer of intrigue for me especially after finding out that he was interested in Shibari. I find it truly interesting how they do that. Some will say its artistry work, tying one up like that. The cover really drove me to try this book. I loved it. It was beautiful. It has some real spice between Cassandra and Chandler. I would highly recommend reading this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cabin Eight is the third in the Millersville series by Susan Specht Oram. Like the other two books, this standalone suspense/thriller was a fairly quick read. It was an intense, fast paced story about a woman named Miranda who stays in Cabin Eight, despite warnings, after she mistakenly starts a fire at the hotel she worked at. The writing and descriptions were super vivid when describing scenery, as well as the phobias and fears that Miranda overcomes throughout the book. The clown aspect gave me the shivers because I do NOT do clowns. At all. Phew. All in all, this may have been my favorite of the three.

I went into this book thinking it was going to be as riveting as the first in the series. I was slightly disappointed but I decided to stick with reading it because I wanted to know what happened next. It was fast paced and different than what I was excepting. The characters were quirkier and had more humorous personalities than those in Shore Lodge, which was nice. It was just hard to stay on track with the POVs of the two sets of characters going back and forth.

This is another great book in a great series. This is an age gap romance but it is where the leading lady is older. It is a gripping story that allows you to be able to get caught up in all the action within the first few pages. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, I highly suggest you read those because the characters from those books make appearances in this book. It would also help you to understand their situations as well. This book did not disappoint it has everything from dark intense story line. It has romance and steam all throughout. It is well written that you feel like you are part of the group or at least a fly on the wall to what is happening. I wish that I could go further into detail about what went down in this book but I can’t because that wouldn’t be doing you the justice you deserve by being able to read it without any spoilers. I find that going in knowing that the character development, the dark, twisty suspense, and the romance are all there is better than knowing what actually happens. It leaves an air of mystery to the whole book that will have you turning pages as quickly as you can. It will be an easy read and won’t take much time because of how invested you will be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adrianna had a mission when she applied for the Urgent Care position at the Larussio Casino. Little did Adrianna know just how busy she would be patching up the Mafia members of the Larussio crime family. Salvatore Larussio is a dark eye, devil soul who is ruthless. Adrianna is a sassy, spit-fire who needs to learn to do as she’s told and stop worrying about the thing she has no business worrying about.
This Italian Crime Family was a non-stop page-turner. The emotional and sexual push and pull between Adrianna and Salvatore is so well written that you can feel it threw every page. I loved reading this story so much that I could not put the book down. I am going to continue reading this series.

This is a mafia romance which focuses on Salvatore Larussio and Adrianna. These two start out hating each other but as the events unfold, this grows into something more.

This story is full of suspense, action, secrets and of course romance. It’s a well-written and enjoyable to read with lovable characters.

I love Salvatore’s protectiveness and loyalty – he comes across as cold but underneath it, there’s more than meets the eye.

I admired Adrianna’s strength and independence, standing her ground even in the face of danger.

The two together share sizzling chemistry and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I’m glad I came across this book and will move onto the next book as soon as possible.

This book fits in perfectly with the rest of the series. It is dark, intense and a great story to read. It wasn’t hard to get into the story and it was lovely to read about familiar characters again. This author is still a relatively new one to me and I think I am very much going to enjoy reading more of her work.

Thrilling. Remember the ghost stories, things that go bump in the night, shadows that seem to move on their own? Well this book has all of that and more. Get ready for the goosebumps.

Starts off blazing; laying the suspense and supernatural spook on thick. The first chapter pulls you in tight. Celia and Adrian have a slow burning romance that tends to speed up just as quickly as the mystery winds tighter and tighter.

Love a good suspense ? This is the book for you; add a little romance and it became *chef’s kiss* perfection

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover is a suspenseful paranormal tale with ghosts/spirits, mystery, family, friendship, love, loss, and even a few darker topics that may be sensitive for some, such as abuse, slurs, violence, and stalking. The author broached these topics in such a way that I wasn’t triggered by them, but I wanted to mention them as a precaution for others that might be.

Jessika Grewe Glover has written an interwoven/ layered complex storyline of ghosts and their past lives along with living people in a different time. I applaud the great skills she used to keep all these layers from getting jumbled up and confusing. The characters are so creative and well written as well that they draw you into the story and make you want to know more about their lives past and present. All the connections and mysteries keep you guessing as you laugh at the banter and characters’ antics. It has a good mix of scary, funny, and drama-filled scenes.

We start off meeting Celia, an art curator who, with the help of her brother Oscar and friend Adrian, will try to figure out all the mysteries surrounding the spirits and those of the house she bought. This gets really interesting as Celia can see ghosts and has been able to since she was young. She has just accepted this fact over time, which amazed me. Their hunt for answers takes several wild turns and no one expects the events that follow. This is a well written story and many will enjoy it!
